Dude, you're a 90s Knicks warrior. We love you for it. Let's start on that. I'm Ragu. You're the fucking big one. You were in red for Ragu. Yeah. Go Knicks.

We're pre-recording this, so this might not be topical. Oh, yeah. It's always topical. Go Knicks. You were at the game. Yeah. Nail-biter. Nail-biter. Everybody's there. Play's going nuts. How was it? It was good, but you just said it's not going to be topical. Yeah. Talk about it. It was a good one, though. It was intense. Man. So what happens now? I know this will be not relevant, but what happens now? Now they go... I mean, right now we're up 2-0 in the Sixers. We'll see. They're a really tough team. Okay. We'll see.

But you gotta win four. Best of seven, so we'll see. All right. How you been, man? You're feeling rough. What happened? Well, I just did the road like crazy, and I don't know what got over me, but I was doing a lot of drinking, and then... Wait, that doesn't sound like you.

Well, we did Madison, two shows, and then we went to the club. In that theater? The theater, yeah. That's nice. Then we went to the club after, and it was just like, hey, shots. Marcelo Hernandez was there. Oh. Sold out nine shows, by the way. Did he? Yeah. And he's a young whippersnapper Latino, so he was putting them back, and he's got every hot lady in America.

blowing them yeah uh yeah it was a wild night and then that's a drinking city too you they won't let you out of madison without no lit up i mean that's a bloody mary day town yes and a beer night town exactly they make they make crazy bloody marys like yes those are the types of people that will like you'll see like a jumbo shrimp in there and you're like what are you doing to me

I already hate myself. I do like the bacon. Bacon is nice. It's nice to bite into. Why am I hating on it? I like it. You love it. That's why the terrors hate us. We got an onion in there, an okra, a bacon, a shrimp. Sometimes they do a cheese block. Yeah, the cheese curds. Oh, yeah. They got to be squeaky.

Oh, I love it. Yeah, you got lit up. Got lit up, and then it was an early flight. And I never do hair of the dog. I try not to. I try not to, too. Just because it's like there's something gross about just going back in. Yeah. And I feel like you kind of earn the hangover, so you got to deal with it.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I was really fucked up the other day, and I just sucked it up. Yeah, I saw the video. Oh, play the video. I sent it to you. This is... No, this is the second one. This is me puke. Yeah, this is the second one. Oh, that's a cute dog right there. You didn't see this one. Just listen. Oh, play that one first. Oh, you look like you just heard about October 7th.

The Grinch. We've all been there. The next one with audio is pretty good. I love how it's just like no sense of humor. Oh, I'm hurting. No playfulness. And I love Michelle that she's just like, she's dealing with it. My lady would be like, come on, let's go out. It's a beautiful, I'm like, are you kidding me? I was pretty bad. Let's see. Yeah. Look at this. That's great.

You just hear it. It's the first time Winnie's been the healthier one.

Dude, it happened because I pre-recorded one of Bert's Something's Burning episodes. There you go. It was me, Bert, and Ric Flair. Oh, he can still drink. He was drinking beer, but Bert and I were pounding whiskey. And it's a cooking show, so I showed up on an empty stomach. Yep. I get picked up by this nice Ugandan guy. Thank God they sent a driver to that. Oh, smart. This really sweet guy picks me up. He's a big comedy fan. He's playing comedy while I get in the car. It's like Stan Hope on the radio. Hey. I love this guy. Yes. You know?

So we're talking the whole way there. He couldn't be cooler. He saw me walk in and walk out a very different person. I was in like, you know, I just got to the gym. I felt L.A. is so L.A. Yeah. I go to the hotel I was at. They give you free access to Equinox. I go in. Will Ferrell's working out. Whoa. Yeah. Then I go to a yoga class the next day because my girl wants to go to yoga class. Anya Taylor-Joy is in there. Whoa.

but i'm like is this like are they doing this on purpose it's like they're recruiting they're like what la is like our economy's hurting me you get to you get to see this yeah i mean so does will ferrell work out funny does he have a headband on he's fit really he looks good oh wow he's working out for a movie or something or if he's just like that's just the lifestyle out there but wow he's big guy too i think he's like six three big guy yeah and then uh

So I walk into Bert's and it's like, you know, it's that cooking show. I go in like, I didn't really eat before I went in. I was like, oh, make something. You're waiting for them. You're waiting for that food to come out of the oven. Yeah. I'm just pounding. We're drinking Bodega Cat. I'm making Boulevardiers. Oh, boy. And Bert's like another. And I'm like, fuck it. I'm going to catch up.

biggest mistake you ever made trying to keep up with Burt Kreischer. Oh, yeah. He's lost 40 pounds and he's still got a problem, that guy. I know. He is the machine. He can do it. And I've tried it many times, but he will put you under the table. Oh, it's crazy. And we got lit up. And then afterwards, he's like, why weren't you on the tour with me? Like, he was upset. He's like, I sent your agent. I'm like, you sent my agent? I'm so fucked up. I'm like, why didn't I see the Burt offers? And my agent's like, oh, he's like, he's like screaming. He's like, I don't know if we got this. And then I'm like,

I'm fucked up. And he's like, yeah, I figured you're with Bert. Cause Bert starts texting him. What the fuck? We're both wasted. Oh, that's great. Well, at least it was love, you know, he was laughing once he realized I was just hammered. That's great. And then flares an animal. Oh, he was awesome. But the worst part is like, he's telling this heartbreaking story about his son passing away. Yeah. And he's telling it and you know, I'm waiting the whole episode for the food to come out. I need something to soak up this booze. Yeah. Just as he starts telling it, Bert like, Hey,

plates are chicken and he's literally like going into how his son passed away I'm just like yeah exactly just stuff in my face Wow yeah he went into that on I did kill Tony with him and that was a big mistake and so everybody shit on his dead son and then that's yeah it was horrible

But, you know, it's a comedy show. But, yeah, it was a rough night, but they edited out 20 minutes of him. But you got a good side of him. We got him on a good day because Bird is just like, you know, we review you and, you know, it's kind of open on that. That's nice. And he was in a good mood.

for most of it until that happened. But then we got him back with a couple dick jokes. Yeah, he likes to bring that up quite a bit on comedy shows. Well, it's Bert's fault. Bert goes, do you have any regrets? And I'm like, dude, what are you doing? He's a pro wrestler. He was addicted to pills and hit people with a folding chair for 40 years. Did you see the movie The Wrestler? That's the lightest story about a wrestler ever made.

But it's like, you go in with, do you have any regrets? Yeah, it's going to be bad, dude. Yes, yes. This guy lived to the extremes, you know? Of course it's going to be horrible. Hulk Hogan's wife fucked the pool boy, and that was like a positive story. That was fun. Yeah. Yeah, then the N-word stuff, and then it got worse. Then he crushed Gawker.

Oh, yeah. Man, I remember Lisa Lampanelli had one of the funniest roast jokes on him because she goes, do you hear it, Hulk? Do you hear it? The pool boy's ball is slapping against your wife's leg. I was like, oh, my God. That is a fucking good roast joke. That's painful. But that's a good line. That's a great line. But, man, the... Yeah. Oh, man, that's brutal. Yeah, man. Geraldo...

Jeff Foxworthy, you look like Magnum P.I. with AIDS. That's killer. With AIDS is just like the... You can't go wrong. Oh, can I tell you a peeve? This is an L.A. peeve. Oh, all right. You can never stop with these. Trying to, you know, get ice cream, trying to just like, you know, seamless some ice cream to the hotel room. I had a long day. Wasn't doing sets because we were pitching the show. And this ice cream place, one of their flavors is strawberry balsamic. No.

Black pepper. I'm like, what the fuck are we doing? No. What's next? It's going to be like bronzino or something? I'm ridiculous. I'm all good with people coming together, interracial, gender fluid. But when you start getting crazy with the ice cream, I got to draw the line. I don't want croutons in my fucking ice cream either. You can't do too much salty sweet. I'll do a nut. I'll do a salted caramel. But you get in there with balsamic vinegar. Now we got salad dressing in my fucking balsamic.

Ben and Jerry's? I hate it. You know what it reminds me of is the guy who's like, I'm weird. Yeah. I'm weird. You're just like, you're trying too hard. Yeah. You're not weird. You're trying to get attention. Exactly. There's nothing wrong with vanilla. No. Just throw some shit in there. And here's the weird thing. Have you ever done vanilla with a little olive oil and salt? No. It's pretty fucking good, actually. That's the only good one. You're transitioning. You're starting to get it. I'm weird. My dick's shrinking. Oh, fuck. Yeah.

I'm telling you, they're getting you slowly. I got another peeve. You'll be a Scientologist before you know it.

That's the only good one. But no, the fuck, it's too much. I like like, I know I just fucking- Pretzel, great. Pretzel's good in there. Great, that's salty. But you gotta stay in line here. Next we're gonna have a- Eat some crunch in there. Peanut butter, I love. I love any kind of caramel ribbon all day long. Oreo, peanut, Reese's. But once you start getting- Cookie dough. Cookie dough's great. Cookie dough might be king of all toppings. Yeah.

You're never not happy to see the cookie dough. No, cherry, raisin, macadamia, all across the board. But once you put ranch, we got ranch vanilla, it's over. Ranch. Yeah. I don't want Hidden Valley making my ice cream. Hidden Valley is a good name for a taint. Another peeve is, fuck, I just lost it. I got like nine peeves written because I haven't seen you in a minute. So I've just been peeving.

Hold on, hold on. I got quite a list. I'll tell you. You're all right. Okay, okay. How about this? You ever get this guy? The I'm not a doctor guy? The I'm not a guy. You know, you go, hey, what's the other word for your toes and fingers? What is that? What am I, a doctor? Yeah. Oh, phalanges. I'm not a doctor. I knew it. Yeah. Yeah. I hate the whole, hey, how do you start a car? What am I, a mechanic? Yeah. Yeah.

you don't know how to start it well i don't i'm the wrong guy for that one well you know what i mean but we're jumping all the way to you have to be an expert in some occupation to know how to do like a little thing i'm no rocket scientist yes yeah we know that's that's a big one you'd have to tell us we know you're not a rocket scientist that's the big one yeah we can always tell they're never never breaking any news with those yeah i'm no doctor also it's like yeah that's why i don't go to you to fucking medical advice right just a simple

What's the weather? What am I, a meteorologist? You work for Uber. My uncle is a doctor. And every time I text him, I have to get past like eight jokes. But it's like, I need health advice, you know? So I'm like, hey, do I do this? And he's like, I don't know. Can you? I'm like, you're a doctor, dude. Help. I need help. Right.

Right. Yeah, no, dude, I've had some health shit the last few weeks, but I'm still powering through. Oh, really? I mean, the ulcer sucked, and I had a shitty ulcer. I made the mistake of complaining to our friend, past guest on the show, Dan St. Germain, about an ulcer. You can't complain to a friend who's been through way worse. Right, right. He's like, oh, yeah, I've had a lot of bleeding ulcers. I'm like, a lot? Ha, ha, ha.

Jesus Christ. Yeah, he's been to rehab 42 times. Yeah, yeah. Drug addict, alcoholic. But we... Great guy, though. Great guy, funny guy. You got to throw in a nice one at the end of that. Check out his special. Very funny. But, yeah, what were we talking about? Oh, yeah, I'm not a doctor, guys. Health issues. Oh, the health issues, yeah. Oh, dude, I fucking... My pee is burning forever. No STDs, I'm good. But it's like, you know, man, got 10 days of burning pee and they're like...

Yeah, we don't know. I think it started, I took Afrin because of the allergies. Uh-huh. And that, dude, that shrinks your dick. Did you know that? What? Yeah, well, just for like a day or two.

What? Yeah. Oh, I might need this. Wait a minute, really? For like a day or two. I know a guy who's hooked on Afrin. He must be micro at this point. Hitler loved Afrin, dude. Today I fucked up by spraying Afrin nasal spray up my penis. That's the wrong way to do it. That's not what I was referring to. I think it's just the blood. Oh, I see. But, dude...

Yeah, no, burning when I was peeing. Wait, wait, wait, wait. That's terrifying. Yeah, it sucked. Could be bacterial or something. Yeah. Not great. I should probably be telling a doctor instead. I'm not a doctor. I mean, you're talking to the right guy. I've had my dick burned more times than...

Wilt Chamberlain. But yeah, it's always been sexual for me. I've never had a non-sexual. It's always a bummer when you get an STD symptom and you're like, no, I've been good. Yeah. That's a bummer. You could have been bad and had the same result. It's like getting a hangover where you didn't drink. Exactly. What the fuck is this? Yeah, that's not fair. I'll tell you what I did with that hangover. There was a farmer's market right outside. Love a farmer's market when I'm hungover.

Because they'll have like kebabs and fucking cubic sandwiches. But they had fucking fresh squeezed watermelon juice. That's a hangover cure, right? That's all the electrolytes, the sugar. Huge. That's killer. That's a good rec.

When you're hungover, watermelons. Everybody goes coconut. I think watermelon's better. Yeah. I'm kind of off coconut. Too jizzy. It's jizzy. It is, yeah. I'm no doctor, but it tastes like jizzy. I'm no porn star, but it tastes like jizzy. Do you tell your girlfriend your pee is burning? Of course. I can't keep a secret. I complain nonstop. She's like, so is mine.

She was just worried. I mean, she knows I'm not like fucking around or anything. Sure. You know, I think it was more that. Yeah, well, anything can happen. You can hit your dick hole, can hit a toilet seat or weird underwear stuff. One time I put my underwear backwards. It was some fecal.

Things can happen. Yeah, fecal is bad. Fecal? Yes, yes. In your pee hole? In your pee hole. I had to go to the doctor for it. I had to take pills. Not a good endorsement for anal. No, no. It was from anal. Damn. Yeah, I had poo. Is he all right? He's got headphones on. So his shit is here. Yeah. I had shit in my dick. This is like an ad for Bose right here. You can say whatever you want. That's funny.

That's a good sketch. Yeah. All right, here, how about this one? This is a good, I'm proud of this one. Peeve. This guy. Hey, everybody on social media. I have big news coming.

And then you got to wait a month for his big news. But we don't care that you have big news coming. Tell us the big news. Yeah. We want to know the announcement Monday. Yes. Were you the senator? I know. Exactly. And your news is going to be like, I'm working on a pilot or whatever. I wrote a screenplay or something. This is not news that we care about. We care if you sell the screenplay or you shoot it or you get laid or something. You can't be like big news coming.

I might get laid. You know, you got to have the thing done and then brag about it. Yeah, the tease is annoying. Hate the tease. Piggybacking on that, the guy that posts the bracelet they give you in the hospital, it's just a photo of the bracelet in the hospital. And you don't know what happened to him? Yeah, yeah. It's like, news later. Guy who needs attention. Yes, yes. Without a result or there's no payoff. Yeah. I think Mark and I have both done something like that.

Oh, really? Yeah, I think we both did something like that once. Not the bracelet, just us in the hospital, no explanation. Oh, really? Oh, no, you did the getting taken off stage. I did the hospital, I think, once. Oh, okay. I was in Springfield, Missouri, and I was in the hospital, so I was basically saying, like, the show's still on, and I... Oh, okay, that's different. You're giving us information. I'm not saying, yeah. Announcement later, the next stage is AIDS. Ha ha ha ha ha!

Sorry. Sorry, guys. Yeah. Yeah. I hate the big news. I got too many. I might have to save some for the next show because I got so many. Save some. You got another one? I got a lot. I got a peeve. Okay. The person who can't stop texting you until you respond. Oh, that's so good. I don't even know. It's like a person. I guess I did their show. I don't know.

12 years ago, maybe more. And they're like, hey, will you do this show? Resend the same text because I don't answer. Yeah. Resend the same text. I was like, send it like four times. Take the hint. And I finally was like, hey, no, thank you. And they go, well, can I circle back? Oh, you already did that. You circled back four times. This whole thing's a circle. It may as well be a fucking NASCAR race. Ha ha ha.

Hopefully there's a crash soon coming. Yeah, that's bad. Yeah, pushy. Everyone's told to be pushy now. And it's cool. I do understand you got to be aggressive to get what you want sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes. Not with dating. No, don't do that.

Don't rave. Don't rave. That's one thing you should have heard. But yeah, no, I'm with you. And if you don't ask, it won't happen. Hey, if you never ask, how do you know? You got to shoot your shot. There's all these sayings. But there is such a thing as there's persistence and then there's annoyance. I agree. So I'm with you.

And look, if we want to do the show, we'll go, oh, I'm busy that night, but I'm down. Exactly. There's got to be a little back and forth. This is only fourth, no back. What do you got? You got another one? Yeah, I got another one. And while you're finding it, I got to say, I took your rec Manhunt and I burned through the whole series. Oh, wow. John Wilkes Booth show. Did you finish it yet? I have not. Is it over? Yeah, there's seven episodes, a mini series on Apple. John Wilkes Booth. It's really a good show. I liked it. And you learn because I like those history shows because you're like,

I know the basics. I know the very base level of this shit. Yeah. And then you're like, oh, I didn't know this. I didn't know that. I didn't know... It is amazing that he was...

by an actor. I know. It's crazy. It's like a fucking Billy Baldwin shot Biden or something. No, way bigger. Bigger. Alec Baldwin. No, his brother was like Alec Baldwin. Yeah, the brother was big. Oh, the brother was bigger than John Wilkes? Yeah. He was bigger. Oh, shit, I didn't know that. And the dad was bigger. He wasn't as big. It's like the brother. It's like... Oh, interesting. It's like Marlon Wayans. You know, it's not Damon. No, it's like... The Billy Baldwin's pretty good. That might be the one. Yeah.

If you're doing recs, somebody on our feed recced something. Your Reddit feed recced Baby Reindeer. What's that? Oh, man. I'm watching it. I'm watching it, too. It's heavy. Yeah. What is it? It's a stand-up comedian. Why don't you explain it, Mark? It's a true story about a stand-up comedian in England, and he's getting stalked by this big fat lady. But he's sort of encouraged. He's kind of like a loser and a weirdo, and he's not getting any success. So I think he's kind of digging the stalking, but he's just...

encouraging her and adding to it and feeding her, leading her on. And then it gets... She's, like, upping it. And it's... You gotta see it. It's dark. And it's all real. The guy's on TikTok. Oh, really? He's showing the emails and stuff. He's, like... It's kind of sad because he couldn't make it as a comic, but he got stalked, and now he's got a Netflix thing. Yeah. Wow. So he kind of made it that way. Yeah. And it's killing it all. That's not how you want to make it as a comic. Mm-mm. Damn. But it's dark, and it hits home a little bit. You're like, oh...

Some of this I've seen. I got another rec, and this is like a childhood. I told you already. I text you about it. It's on Disney Plus, X-Men 97. Oh, yeah. You watching it? Isn't it good? Come on. How good are we talking here? It's for adults. What? Well, it's like they made the 90s show for the kids. Yeah. And now it's like they're picking up where they left off, so it's for that audience. Oh.

Isn't it really fucking good? It's not cursing and stuff, though. No, but it's... Yeah. There's like hooking up and stuff. Oh, wow. Yeah. That rogue. Yeah, Rogue is pretty hot. Yeah. Although if she gave you a hand job, she would take your power. She'd get a boner. Yeah, no, it's a badass show. And look...

It's well made. And they canceled the guy who made it. Really? This guy? Everyone was complaining, no, it was a black guy. Uh-oh.

He's a gay black guy. Are you canceling black guys now? A gay black guy, too. What? Yeah. Damn, anybody's. He made a killer show, though, I got to tell you. Like, well done. Okay. Yeah, what was your other peeve? This is a little, I'm going to maybe put some people out on this one. All right. But I'm getting annoyed with it. There's too much of the guy you barely know saying I love you.

Yeah. It's a little tough. I'm not homophobic. I'm more emotionophobic. That could be a bit. Oh, really? Emotionophobic. Yeah. You know the guy, I see him every now and then on the road. He's a comic. He's a friend. Nice guy. We don't hang out that much, but he'll be like, all right, man. Great hanging out. Love you. And I'm like, yeah, all right.

Take her easy. I can't say it back. It's tough because we always talk about touching people or different touch levels, but we don't talk about people being at different emotional levels unless it's romantic. Good point. Right? Friends might be at different emotional levels. There's a guy who hugs too much. Some guys are like, oh, I'm... Some of those guys, we have a friend, maybe they have sweaty palms, they do the fist bump. Yes. All right, whatever you want, but we don't talk about that. The emotional... The emotional jump. It's like a level jump, and...

I don't not. I'd like the guy. I'm like, I sound like a dating. I like I like I don't love you. But it's it's just weird because it feels almost forced. And then it feels like I got to say it back. So it's an obligation. And then it feels a little like he's he's tricking me. Yeah. He's trying to get us closer.

And I'm like, whoa, we're not in love. Interesting. And so it's a lot going on with the I love you. But you sound like a woman now. You're trying to jump steps. Yeah. Wait, you think I'm just going to love anyone? Yes. Almost like, you know. And can he love me and I not love him? Is that all right?

You're also saying in love. I don't think when a man says it to another man, they're not... No, he said love you. But that's not in love with you. That would be even more... That would be terrifying. But you just said that. He's like, I'm not in love with you, he said, but he's not saying that either. He's just saying, you're great, I respect you. How many do I love you? You. You.

You know, just like, all right, good hanging out. Love you, man. Love you. Well, love you, love the show is not, I say that. Like, love you, love the show doesn't mean. No, that's different. I love you. I love what you do. I love you as a comedian. Love you softens it a little, though. It does soften it a little. The A always softens. That's how I propose. You didn't like that. Especially with the N word. You can take that right out. Is that what you're going for? Okay, you can take that right out, Matt. We're all thinking it.

The point I was making. Take it out because you just doubled down on the joke. But yeah, yeah. I was going for the subtle one. Yeah. Let me spell out this racist comment. That's it. Leave it in. All right. But yeah, so the I love you is a little much for me. Even if a woman said it. It's not even a guy thing. Like if it's a woman, I rarely know. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah.

Damn, that's interesting. It's interesting. It's not something I think about because usually I'm just like, ah, I love you too. But I know what you mean, like the jumping levels. Yeah. In terms of like...

You do feel like a woman, but you're like, you got to earn it, dude. You got to earn that love. Yeah, buy me dinner. Something. Yeah, so that's a little perturbing. It just feels like a level jump, and it feels... I think I hold that word in high regard. That's an important word. Love is big. So if you throw it out, it takes the teeth out of it. Yeah. It's like racists. You call everybody a racist, the real racists are having a ball. Yeah.

You know? Just based on what I know about your life, I imagine your dad didn't say that a lot to you? No. Yeah, so same with me. So when someone says I love you, it's like a big fucking deal. Yeah. Yeah. It should be a big deal. Yeah. You know, like these, I see high school kids, they drop I love you to their girlfriend too early and it's like, no, that's, you gotta save that. Gotta know where to go from there. Exactly.

Exactly. If you're coming in at 11, then it's all downhill. I feel like dads don't say it a lot. Maybe now it's different. My dad, I know. He's got the headphones on. He didn't hear it. That's the only time he's been here. My dad never said it. Bose. No, I...

i think my dad didn't say that much either but i know he loves me yes he showed he loved me you know and it's like i said i definitely said it before but not a lot yeah my mom said it more for sure oh yeah mom say it more i heard this great story by penn gillette he was on one of these podcasts or whatever he's great on podcasts and he was saying my mom never said this to me and she was like dying and i was with her on a beach you know close to the end and i was like

You know, you never said you loved me, and she said, did I have to? Oh, yeah, I think you do actually have to. How are you? Hey! How's it going? Hi. But my dad would do this. You're a good kid. That meant I love you. The back pat was big. Back pat was big. Shoulder grab, maybe. Tussle.

Yeah. Your dad always feels so strong when you're a kid. Even if your dad's not that strong, they feel strong. Yeah, well, mine was in a wheelchair. But no, no. But yeah, yeah, he was strong. My dad did yoga in the 90s, which as a kid, you're like, oh, he's gay. I didn't know what that meant. He was ahead of the curve. He meditated and did yoga. You're either gay or a sex offender, I feel like. That guy Bikram was like a legit...

That's true. Offender, that guy. Yeah, I watched the doc. That was a good doc. Great doc.

Sex offenders are having a moment. It's a funny name. It's a funny name to be a sex offender. Bikram? Yeah. I was sexually assaulted by who? Bikram. Oh, yeah. That sounds weird. Right, right. Sounds like a Lyft driver or something. Yeah. Yeah. What do we got? We got Epstein. We got R. Kelly. We got Harvey. We got Cosby. I mean, they're really having a moment. The Nickelodeon doc. Yeah, that was dark stuff. I don't know why I pointed to your son. But yeah. Hello. Hey, come on in. Yeah.

Hey, how are you? Yeah, he's got the headphones on. You're good. Yeah. We can get you a tap. If you want to. How are you? Sit down. Thanks for joining us. Hi. There's your mic.

Oh, hi. There you go. I hate these things. Oh, sorry. Let me get away from you. Okay. There you go. All right. Thanks for coming by. Yeah. Good to have you. You're our first Sopranos alum, and we're huge Sopranos fans, so. You are? Yeah. I fucking better be. Yeah. I mean, who isn't? I mean, there's a few. Best show ever. I don't know who they are, but they're weird. Joe List. Oh, I've never seen it. I'm sorry. I'm like...

Sorry. That's their loss. We literally have them on the wall there. Yeah, we got Pauly right there. Oh, you know, I saw that on your show and I was like, wait a minute, is that? I thought maybe it was just some, I didn't know it was Paiomai. Yeah, that's right. And the boss. That was the one Pauly Walnuts had it hanging up. Why are you wearing a Goodfellas shirt? You know what you're not wearing is a Proud. It's Good Villas. It's the Knicks.

Villanova Knicks. Clever. All right. Pretty cool. Come on. That's cool. Having a hell of a run right now. I don't know if you're a fan. Okay. No, I don't know anything. Where are you from? Queens. Hey! Queens. Wait a minute. I think I might live in your old building. Where? In the village. The one that burned down? Oh, no. I'm sorry.

Her building famously blew up. Even your life sounds like the Sopranos. Yes. No, my life is the Sopranos. Yeah? Yeah, my apartment blew up. The one on 2nd Avenue. Oh, I know that one. Right by the French Fry Place. The 5th Street? 7th. Between St. Mark's and 7th. Oh, shit. Yeah, I've walked by that. Yeah, that was... That was crazy. That was intense. You lived there while that happened? Yeah, my girlfriend called me up in LA and she's like, dude, turn on the news. Your building's on fire. I was like,

why would that be national news? She goes, check out the fire. Whoa. And it was half the block. Yeah. It looked like, you know, it's from what I heard, it smelled not much different than 9-11. Really? Three huge buildings went down. My building was tiny, but

But all the other buildings were big. I think that guy went to jail, right? I think it was like a fraud thing. Well. Arson? I don't know. He died before the trial. Never mind. Sounds like some deep state shit. Yeah, some mowing shit. He died. I'm not sure if he committed suicide, but the mother is in jail. It was her building. There we go. And it was her son who died before. And he burned it down? Well, I think what happened was they jimmied gas lines for two of their buildings and

And then Con Ed said, don't introduce gas to these pipes or something. And she said, turn the pipes on. We got this. Ooh, baby. They had contractors that okayed it and said it would be okay. And the building blew up. The sidewalk blew up immediately. Where my kids normally are chilling and hanging out. Yeah. So happy I wasn't home.

Because my building went down first and it wasn't even my building that was part of it. It feels like a Sopranos episode. Like Steve Buscemi's in there with the pipes. That's my life. I thought you lived in a... Oh, I did do that. Oh, when the apartment... Do you live in a... Yeah, well, bleep that address. Everybody knows where you live now. I'm moving soon. Oh, you are? So you're... Yeah, obviously you're in that...

I remember what my address was there. I rented Jack, like was it relative of Jackson Pollock's, but that was when, when that building went down, I needed to, I had, I was taking a, I was doing a show here in New York and I was no longer a New York hire.

So I was like, what am I going to do? And I rented a townhouse because I have a circus of family that needed to live with me. So we rented one of those. With a big family? I know. So we got a nice townhouse over there in Minetta Lane. It was nice. It was gated. It was safe. Ooh, that's nice. I went broke doing that. That's funny.

Now, and it's, uh, it's as cute as street in the world. You know, everybody takes photos there, but at night it's just hobos screaming, drunk people yelling fistfights. I saw people fucking once doorway. Good time. Yeah. It's, it's, um, I love it late at night, man. Late at night. I would be hanging out that window like hobos.

holy shit the fights yes the fights i was like they should charge admission for this shit yeah a lot of a lot of good bars on that avenue so yeah happening the we're taking outside that's where you take it that little alleyway right yeah yeah that's where they shit too against the walls yeah human shit it's good i like it my poor super is always cleaning shit or a condom or a diaper there's always something going on being a super is like being a dad to a newborn yeah

He's always cleaning up. That's true. And he's always grumpy. Yeah. And he won't answer my calls. Pretty super. We've got to talk Sopranos a little because, I mean, it is. Oh, yeah. Are you sick of it? We're such big fans. No. Okay, good. I don't like people that haven't watched The Sopranos. I'm just kidding. We've seen it 800 times. You bet. It's a show I rewatch every couple years and for some reason every time.

It's funnier than I remember. It's so funny. It's so funny. I feel like the scenes between you and Chris are some of the funniest. Yes. Yeah, they're really funny. It's true. And no intentions of them being funny.

You know, it was a drama, but man, it's the funniest show ever. Oh, dude, the intervention scene was unreal. I don't know that much about the show. Are you serious? No, no, no, we can talk about it, because you guys will teach me a little bit, but I only re-watched

When I was doing a podcast for two seasons, for season one and two, and I haven't seen the show since it aired. It's so funny. I did Jamie Lynn and Robert's podcast, and they both told me they'd never seen the show. I know. I was pushing them to watch. They've seen it now. Yeah. Okay. It was during COVID, I think I did their podcast. Yes. But they were...

I guess, I think Rob was saying it was too painful because of James. Yeah, they were tight with him. They were tight. Obviously, all their scenes were with him. Yeah. Yeah. And then Sharippa has one. Does he still have that pod with Imperioli? No, that's over, right? That's over? I think. I don't know. I listened to some of it. It was great. It was awesome. Yeah. Now he's on Broadway. Yeah.

who is mike oh i saw it he's awesome yeah really people yeah i just saw the um that that demonstration that was the only oh yeah tagged me in that and i was like what is this i saw that too well that's why they did it because people are talking right yeah while you protest pretty crazy pretty crazy stuff right good for business what do you like your favorite memories though i mean like as you said you remember differently than us what's the memory from that show that you're like oh this is

Pretty fucking special. Man, I think it was just... I think it was the evolution of it. And just being in a place and not... Kind of realizing what was happening, but... Because when you're in it, you don't see it. You don't feel it, but you're in it. But we felt it because it was so... People hated us. We were like the...

They just, we were anti-Hollywood. So, and everybody kind of thought that we really were those characters. And I think we tried to maintain like we were to a large degree. I mean, we showed up to the Emmys in a,

in a New Jersey transit bus. Oh, pull that up. And they hated it. That's great. Yeah. Why would they hate something funny? I don't know what it was, man. They didn't like us, though, in the beginning. We really were sort of the bastards. Remember when Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park showed up at the Oscars?

on acid and dressing. Yeah. No. And they hated that. They hate people because they think that you're messing with the sanctity of their little workshop as opposed to just having fun. They're anti-fun. They're anti-fun. They really are. I blame Marlon Brando when he brought the Native American up.

Oh my god, is that them? Yeah, and they're on a lot of acid. Is he wearing the J-Lo dress? Oh, that's true. Well, things have changed, I guess. Sorry, what'd you say? Oh, you couldn't do that now. Forget about the fucking woke mafia will come out and kill you.

Yeah. Is that Leah Thomas? All right. Is his dick too long for that skirt? But wow, the bus thing is fun though. That's like on brand. It was great. It was amazing. Everything we did was amazing, man. What were your favorite scenes to shoot? I mean, I wasn't really there for most of the... You know, it was just me and Michael for the most part. The stuff with Jim for me was...

That was nerve wracking. I was like the boss for me. That was just, you know, I wasn't used to, I was a new actor. I hadn't really acted before.

So I feel like Michael was my teacher. I always joke around that he was my teacher and that set was my and David Chase was my godfather. But I mean, I loved shooting with Michael. That was my favorite. I love the big dinner scenes. Those were super fun because that's when we were all together. I think the most fun we would have is when we would go do signings. But as far as the scenes go, like, I mean, I always had my scenes weren't fun.

I didn't have fucking fun scenes to play. I was hysterical, crying. I was getting the shit beat out of me. When you were at the FBI informant, that was heavy stuff. And none of that was fun. I mean, I was ready to go. Everyone's like, can you believe they took you out? I was like, no.

I was done. Because in those days, I really took my job seriously. I wasn't like I am now. Like, listen, if I have to cry for 50 takes, maybe I'm going to use a tear stick on number 45. Right, right. Back then, you couldn't tempt me to try and cry any other way than just destroying my entire family before I walk out. What?

walk out on that set but oh and then having to puke with a dog in my lap $200,000 bracelet that was real puke that was there was a machine hooked up to the back of me with a tube because we didn't you know that was before we were shooting on film yeah you know this is before everything changed so I'm wearing a

$200,000 or $500,000 diamond Harry Winston bracelet. Why they put me in the real bracelet, I'll never understand. Why they didn't just give me a fake for it. So, there's a security guard here, Cosette, the fucking weirdest dog that ever was, who used to piss

standing up on her front legs and she'd piss up in the air I was like what kind of dog is this and I love dogs but I was like this is a dog out of here but anyhow she's in my lap I can't get puke on her I can't get puke in the bracelet there's puke all over the bracelet the dog the security guard but if you gotta choose one you're choosing the dog over that bracelet I was like do we have to do this fucking scene can I do this some other do I have to throw up can I just cry

And I had to be crying. And all I wanted to do was laugh. The scene where Cosette dies. That scene. Just a little bit of trivia. When you watch it, they had to redo, had to do the ADR on it, had to re-record my voice. I'm not crying in the recording. I'm hysterical laughing and you can't tell the difference. Pull it up. What are you doing over there? Eating pizza? He's so into what I'm saying right now.

Man, that's wild. I do think, as Mark was saying, though, the intervention scene when you bring up Cosette and Tony's like, you killed it. Like, that's what gets through to him that a dog was dead. To Tony. Yeah, that's what hits him. You killed a dog? What did he say? He keeps going back to it. He's like, whoa, you sat on Cosette? And they're off on another thing about the heroin. He's like, wait, wait, wait, back to the dog. The dog. And by the way, guys, sorry, there's spoilers. You should have seen the show by now. Yeah. The dog.

Oh! Where's the thug? What? That's a tough scene. She's not breathing. Her neck feels broken. Oh, my God! She's dead! Oh, that's heartbreaking. She must have crawled under there for warmth. She must have crawled under there for warmth. I didn't kill her. I must have had her. This is so good. Oh, my poor baby. I'm sorry. It was an accident, for Christ's sake. Oh, man.

How long have I been saying she shouldn't be on the furniture? It's because of your fucking eye, Christopher! Oh, it's heartbreaking.

So that was laughing? No. Well, the ADR. Oh, yes. Wow. Yes, yes it is. I can't tell. You can't tell? I forgot. I forgot that we were watching it. I was so into the emotion of it all. Great story. Because it's between him being funny and her being emotional. And he's pissed at you. He's like annoyed. So good. I got into a fight with the writers that day and almost threatened to walk off. That was my only diva moment in my whole career. Why? Why?

They wanted me to get up to that level of emotion on his takes. Hmm.

And he said to me, dude, just do what you got to do. I'm so out of it anyway. I don't need you to meet me with your emotion right now. Just save it for the scene. And I was like, yeah, unless the two characters are at it and hysterical, you don't need to rise up, both of you. Each of you need to preserve your shit for your own take, you know? And the writers wanted to see it. They're like, so that's how you're going to play it? And I was like,

I was like, this is, we're about to go to lunch. I was like, don't make me blow my fucking load before lunch, just so you can see what it sounds like. Like you should know, we're already in season, I don't know. We know it works. - I think this is four. - It's a well-oiled train. The whole thing works. - So wait, the writers give you acting notes?

The writers, TV is a writer's medium. It's not the director's world at all. Directors just kind of come and go, but the writers rule the roost there. Yeah. It's like theater. Right. You know, it's a play and it's the playwright. It's usually not the director's role.

final say. You don't mess with their words. And they probably wanted to, maybe they wanted to rewrite something. And look, on regular TV and, you know, when I did like Desperate Housewives, they were rewriting on the set all day. Sitcoms, rewriting on the set for jokes and stuff like that.

I don't work well like that. I can't memorize anything. But with a show like this, we never rewrote on the moment, really. So I was like, why do you want to do that now with a scene where I have to be hysterical? And all I want to do is die laughing. Right. So I'm trying to hold on to being upset. Because of this little dog. And I'm dying and...

Because it's so funny. Watching him, you don't think I'm dying. I'm like, oh my God. The line she must have crawled under for warmth is insane. That's an insane thing to say when you killed a dog. I can't take it seriously. He's blaming you. He's blaming the dog. You murdered a dog because you're on heroin. Yes. And you can't accept it. It's a hilarious character. That moment was so hard for me because I knew...

that I wanted to crack up. I knew it wasn't in a... I knew, like, deep... And I had to be emotional. Yeah. I had to really fake it. That was some real acting right there. Oh, yeah. Did you know shooting, like, the show was...

amazing while you were in it or did it take a little time? No, that was the thing I was saying earlier. Like I knew my mom's a playwright. She taught playwriting and I would watch her teach those classes. So watching her teach those classes and teach writers how to, you know, orchestrate a scene, like a song, like, you know, with all of a scene, a play, the whole, the entire piece or, you know, that's how I learned how to act was amazing.

by watching her, keeping the writer active all the time, keeping the jokes active, keeping the drama active. So, when I saw those scripts, not only did I realize that he had done all of those things but the nuance and the symbolism and the like everything he had, it was a piece of literature. Yeah. So, I read it to her the very, the pilot episode which was, I wasn't even a regular, I wasn't even Adriana yet.

I was like, mom, this thing is so good. It's never going to get made. Whoa. And then they called me for the series and she was with me and they wanted me to run in Queens. They were like, we're in Queens. I was like, I can't. I'm in Queens. They were like, we're in Queens. My mother looked at me. She goes, we're fucking going. I'm getting your name played out in diamonds and you're going to that audition. Your name plate in diamonds. I was like, that's all we need, mom. Just that name plate in diamonds. Damn.

- Damn, was it David Chase? - Yeah. - He was the main guy. - The creator. - Big daddy. - He wrote most of them. - He's the boss. It's his story. I mean, I don't know that he was, he's not in the mafia, but that was like his mom kind of vibe situation. Yeah, I'm trying to sit like a lady over here. I'm having a really hard time.

It's church pew here. It's tough. There's another scene. I got to find it where Adriana and Christopher are fighting and you both hit each other. Like that was something I loved about Adriana is that Christopher hits her and instead of just taking it, you hit him back. Which one? You know which one I'm talking about? Hmm.

Look at it. Oh, no, that one I don't hit him when he's with the boys. No. And he goes, get my fucking dinner ready. Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. Did I hit him in that? I think you did. Is that it? Oh, let's see. He's chugging vodka. Oh, I hate having to hit. I'm like, just hit me. I don't want to hit anybody. I can't deal. I'm always afraid I'm going to hurt somebody. That's what my wife says. Yeah, this is it, I think. Yeah, I think that's it.

What are you, tripping? Work our way up. Get introduced.

Must be deep. Hanging out with him. Who? Mr. T. Use cat motherfuckers together. Nah, he's too big for that. He doesn't get his nails dirty. We tell him we don't mind that shit. We'll do anything. Wet work, pick up his shirts. Does Tony ever talk about us? No. That's too handsome. You gonna drink or just sit there? Sit. What the fuck is the matter with you? What's the matter? You leave my gas burner on?

I almost lit a cigarette. I could have died. I apologize. Why you can't use a lighter to cook your shit like normal people is beyond me. When everything was finally going good between us. Shut up about that. Why? They're still going to kiss your ass. They don't care if you're junkie. Go, go, go. You fucking whore. Fuck.

Yeah, that's it. Go home. Get my dinner ready. Good times. That's the mob wife aesthetic everyone's talking about. Exactly. Let's go back to that. That's it. Black eyes. You know, your husband calls you a fucking whore. And all these girls love it today. I'm glad that we're not woke anymore. I'm glad that we've gotten back to the basics. The fact that you shit on his guys in front of him, too, is so great. They're still going to kiss your ass. You know what's crazy? It's such a great character. They all fucking...

that I was a tough guy on the show, but I wasn't. I was the innocent. I just had a moment. I just had some moments. Yeah, but you did bite back. I mean, it's not like you took all of it, you know? But yeah, look, Adriana's death on the show was like... I mean, I was shocked when it happened. The fact that Syl picks you up, I don't... I should have known that it wasn't in Chrissy's nature to actually side with a woman over Tony. But...

But I was still shocked when Syl picked you up. Here's some trivia for you. All right. I'll tell you a little secret. I don't think anybody wants this out there, but I always tell the story. David might hate me for telling the story. But when I got that script and I knew he told me that it was going to go down two ways.

That they were going to kill me and that I was going to live because the confidentiality on set was such a big deal that they didn't want. They didn't. You know, we had to make sure that the people on the crew weren't going to leak the information. So we actually went the distance to shoot it both ways. In that script, Christopher goes to Tony in his basement and tells him that that I'm a rat.

in the laundry room, that they do that, those scenes, those quiet little scenes where they're not bugged, they know they're not bugged. And then Jim calls, Tony calls Adriana and says, "Cyl's gonna take you." So you know she's dead now. You know it's over. And I'm like, that's not the best way to take her out. Like this is a big moment in the show.

let it be that no one knows you were going to shoot it two ways. We did shoot it two ways. I was like, but if you have that scene in there, it's completely obvious what the story is going to be. Right. And then the audience is just going to be waiting for Syl to kill her without that. So that scene was, I went and begged for it to be taken out. I think Stevie and Michael did it with me. I think we were asked Terry, Terry Winter wrote it. I'm not sure, but yeah,

But then when it aired, they aired it without that scene. And then next season, it's a flashback. So the scene lived, but it was a flashback in season six. So we wouldn't see it coming. That's smart. Yeah. So otherwise you would have been like, all right, well, we're watching Syl and her and she's just not sure. But Syl knows and the audience knows. Yeah. When did you know in that scene that he was going to kill you?

Because your face changes at one point while you're driving. Pull it up. We're actually shooting it both ways. In that scene, they shoot me. And you see it. I think they air it like that where she imagines she's getting away. Yeah. Right? She imagines that her bag is next to her and she's leaving town. I don't remember either. But that was the two different ways they shot it. And then...

And then Stevie went on Jay Leno and he said, so did you really shoot her? And he goes, who do you fucking think I was doing shooting squirrels? Boy, you got to hand it to HBO because they really took chances. Not anymore. Not anymore. But yeah. No one knows anymore. Woke media. Welcome to the woke media.

Well, that's why you're on a show on YouTube right now. Why you're in a studio on YouTube right now. Yeah, everything's changed. Yeah, YouTube too. Sorry, guys. You guys want to cut me out of your show? None of it's getting cut out. I feel like you know here. Oh, look at Adrian. He's so young. Observation. Do some tests. Who knows? When he turns, it's when he turns off the road, right?

We're doing a Soprano rewatch, guys. Sorry. We're nerds. I love it. Okay, great. I love this. I wish we were doing this when I did my podcast. I just can't believe what a baby I was. So you know what he is. He's a strong kid. Not yet. Chrissy. What are you there about? 51? Yeah. Very resilient. That hairpiece is really getting lazy. I guess that's the moment. The woods. There's the fucking moment.

Just another squirrel in the woods. Yeah. Why are you crying? He's going to be fine. Cold-blooded. Way to bring the mood down, guys. I know. Can we kill more dogs? I saw this in the 90s with my parents because they're not great parents. But I do remember some buzz about Italians being mad that they were being represented so stereotypically.

And I'm part Italian. I didn't give a shit. You are? I'm part Sicilian. You're a little fucking Guinea? A little bit. With that watch? You got on that watch. You are a real Guinzo. That's the white side. I like that watch. Oh, okay. You might even be wearing a members only jacket right now. I am. Yeah. Is this in honor of me? No, I like the jacket. Yeah? It just worked out that way. I dig it. I got to ask you a question. I like you guys. Hey. I like you. We're fans. Hey.

Sweating balls over here. Get this fucking mic out of here. Because you said you shot it both ways so nothing would ever leak. Was that always done that way or did something in the past leak so they had to start doing that? There were so many leaks on that set. It's funny, there's rats in The Soprano, but they're like actor rats or writer rats or grip rats. Yeah.

There were a lot of rats. You see this book that just came out? No. He's been talking all kinds of shit on James Gandolfini. What?

Who's doing that? Some locations manager. None of us even really know who he is. He came in in the end. He's dead. Leave him alone. Leave him alone. Exactly. And also, like, who the fuck doesn't love James Gandolfini? No, he probably loved him, but he's just talking about his demons or whatever. Like, we all didn't have fucking demons. Why just one person? Because he's not here to speak. That's right. Right. You know.

But do you remember any of the leaks? Like, did any actor? Because I heard a rumor that's why Furio was off. Is that why he was off the show or no? I mean, there were rumors about Furio, but I don't think they were about leaks. What did you hear? Oh. Let's go. Like some chiacchiaron. Do you know what you are right now? He's a fanuc. Are you Italian at all? I'm a Jew, no. Same thing. So you're Yenta, I'm a chiacchiaron. So we talk, you Italian? Yes, you're segwaying into my favorite Sopranos clip.

Oh, do they say it? It's in the scene. They do not. Bukiak, is that what he said to someone? They say Bukiak. Oh, you like Bukiak. You like the word Bukiak. My kids hear it. This is one of the funniest episodes. John Favreau won. Oh, yeah. He was on six feet under. Charlie Cameron's rolling. You fucking D-girl. Oh, yeah. Not in a long time. Spin the wheel. Spin it. Spin it.

Action! So 90s. I never had an ice cream. I love her. You're not coming for either one of us. You live your whole life in a place and never taste the thing that it's famous for. I couldn't hear the fucking shots of this thing. Oh my God. There's a place on St. Mark's. Sorry, you bitch. Don't do it.

Michelle, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Can we cut for a second? Cut. That's a cut. Are we really going to say bitch? You don't like bitch? We discussed this. We're losing light. It's not that I don't like it. I just, you know, it's the last thing my lover says to me and I don't find it particularly interesting or... You thinking maybe you should shoot her again? No, wait a minute.

- No, wait a minute. - I don't think shooting's right in this case. I mean, your character's strength is her passivity. - Whose passivity? - Zephyr. - In this case. - In this case. - I think he's right, Janine. - I mean, obviously throughout the rest of the piece, you got testes to burn. - Well, I mean, is there anything other than bitch? - Bukyak. - What? - Let that one call that one bukyak. - That sounds more interesting.

What? Bukyak. If she's from Brooklyn... That sounds okay. Out of control. Okay, let's roll. What does it mean? Cunt. He says, what does it mean? He's like, cunt.

What were the Furio rumors? I heard that. I mean, you really want to know that one. It was a podcast. Yeah, we went the dirt. I don't know. I actually don't know. But I do. I mean, he was so good on the show. Oh, my God, he's good. So fucking good, right? I loved him. Yeah, he was great. But I don't know what the rumors were. I just heard like a few. You know, look, everybody that got taken off the show was

There was always speculation that there was a reason. Because David didn't appreciate any kind of complaining, backtalk, discontent. You know, why don't I get this? Yeah. He's like, I'm going to fucking take you out. I'll take you out like that. And so I feel like that was sort of the thing. So even when I was dying, I was like...

It's because I asked him if I could go direct that movie because I did approach him. And that's how I found out. He goes, well, and I was like, oh, you already made up your mind that fast. You're going to fucking kill me. But he's like, yeah. And that's when he kind of, oh, look. Sorry. I like it. I like it. Super 80s, buddy. Yeah. Super 80s. What about the last step? Did you have any problems with it? Because a lot of people had really split the room.

I know I loved it. I liked it too. Me too. Why did you... I'm going to interview you guys now. All right, bring it on. Why did you guys like the last episode? Tell me why. Because I think they clearly killed him. Oh. I don't know. Was it that clear? Yeah. I thought it was a little open-ended. I thought it was a choose-your-own-adventure. I think the way they worked the cameras, the way they made it go black for that long... Pull it up. I think it's... I think he got whacked. But yeah, I...

I don't know. I just don't think there was ever a bad Sopranos ep. I loved every ep. Even the dream sequence one was weird, but I'm like, fuck it. They took over. I loved it. Yeah, I still liked it. That's his homage to Fellini. Oh, wow. Maybe. But can I ask you guys a question? Because I don't know the answer. Sure. In the last scene... Oh, God. I mean... I'm generous. I'm so happy. Oh, my God.

So in this scene, are all the people coming in and out people that have been killed? Oh, what? Wait a minute. What are we talking about? We're talking about the last scene. No one else knows this? No. Okay, I might be wrong. Make it big, man. I might be wrong. Oh, coming out of the bathroom? The people walking in and out, were they... I mean, I am going to get a fucking... Who was that? That was just a random lady. That looked like Aida. Yeah. We got a good journey going.

I am going to get fired from being an ex-soprano now. No. You've already been whacked. What else could... Because I don't know if I'm right about this or not, and I don't know why it's in my head. Well, they're all dressed like hitmen. The baseball cap, the members-only jacket. Mm-hmm. But if they were supposed to look like people... That's the wife. Oh, that was Carm. He's set on real dark. That's Carm. Is it dark? Super dark for some reason. Yeah, it's dark. It's a TV. Ah.

Okay, some kids eating, playing, milkshake. Oh, maybe they represent young Tony. Cub Scouts. There's a car. No shots here is a mistake. Everything's on purpose. Of course. Right, right. I think he's just being paranoid, as you would as a mob boss. Do you want me to put the music on? You want to hear it with the whole... We might get clipped for the music. Okay.

Yeah, take the music off. I was at a crush on Edie. You did? Oh, yeah. I think I did, too. Yeah, real whoppy face. I like that. Whoa. She had big dick energy. That's the only reason he told you he was half Italian, so he could break out whoppy. Real whoppy face. Big clit energy. She does. She was a trend. That was a terrible laugh. That was clit laugh. Dick laugh's different.

Okay. Let's see. Who's this guy? Wait, who are they? Hunter. He looks like a hunter. Hunter Biden. Let's get that laptop out. Yeah. Let's see that seven inches. Okay, AJ. In his hot years. Yep. Got the goatee going. Totally. I liked fat AJ. I liked those years. Little mozzarella face. I love him so much.

He's probably my number one buddy from the show. Oh, nice. Yeah. It's crazy to grow up on that show being that young. They were babies. Same with Meadow. She was, you know. They were babies. One of the few child actors who didn't go nuts. He almost did. Oh, really? He got his shit. No, he did. He had his moment. We all had our moment. He was arrested in Central Park for robbing a guy. What? No. That was AJ, yeah. Pull it up. I'll wait after this. So who are all these fucking guys? Nothing? That's what they want you to wonder.

Okay, that guy looks tough. Very sussy. So none of them were the people that had been killed. Uh-oh, couple of moulinons. Oh, my God. Just doing the vernacular from the show. I feel like I'm at home right now. They said if they made The Sopranos now, they'd have to go woke with it. They had Tony in therapy. The daughter would date a black guy. Literally all the shit they just did. Forget it. It couldn't be made now. I don't think it could. I really don't.

I'm telling you, I think some of those characters were, but my take on this, it was a combination of both of you, is that it was... And that's when it goes out? Yeah. That's when it goes out. That's the hubbub. That's why everybody's pissed. Meadow runs in. So the music's playing and then Meadow walks in and boom, to black. You're going to have to mute that music. Yeah. Kill the journey, Sally.

That's it. There's your show. That's your program. Maybe he doesn't. I always thought he did, but... I lost my mind when that happened because I didn't know. Okay. I didn't know. I thought my TV went out. I had everybody at my house eating mozzarella. I was like, what in the fuck is going on? I called my girlfriend who worked on the show. I go, dude, tell me what happens. My TV went out. Yeah. She's like...

That's what happens dude, and I'm like, what do you mean? Exactly this is before Twitter. There's before people are like what the fuck? You have to just call people or talk at the office the next day. Well, that's the thing that it was the nut There was the number one water cooler. It was the only show that claimed the water cooler talk every morning What better way to go out where no one knows what the fuck just happened so everyone can

convene at their water coolers and have the last blowout by the water cooler over the best show. But what more water cooler talk then? What the fuck was that? Holy shit, what do you think happened? Now we're all telling our theories. I think that's a smart idea. Also, the other thing they said, they would force a gay subplot. And everything they did, they really did everything. Veto. But I think the fans would have been mad.

the freaking finocco you can't even say i love that you guys are using all the words i'm not going to say because people think i'm i'm crazy for fighting for freedom right now so if i even dare say any of anything like that i'm gonna let it fly hanging on a cross but but um i loved that you know the fans would have hated if he died the fans would have hated if he lived

And you know you still have all the haters out there the way we have right now Nobody would have been satisfied so make it abstract your pick your own adventure exactly didn't Breaking Bad do kind of a similar thing where you're like He's probably dead, but they left just a little sliver a little bit, but it was way more action-packed Watch the whole series which I wish I had oh, it's incredible besides Sopranos. What's your old? I fell off I I just started following my boyfriend on the road and and I

Just enjoying, yeah. Nice. And just enjoying my life. I never really wanted to act after Sopranos. Well, you're good at it. I was like, how am I going to top this shit? I only did it to make money afterwards. And the looks really faded. So, you know. I mean, it's true. No, no. It's exactly the same. Thanks, guys. I'm a member of the OnlyFans. Now I dive in.

Not after what I went through in the last three years. I'm not as interested. Forget it. Yeah. Only fans. Yeah. Let's go. I'm a platinum member. Tits and ass. Let's go. Oh, yeah. How did that start? You were just like, fuck it, right? It was that. It was the old vaccine mandates. And I was just like, yeah, I have to just wait a minute here. And I

Once I went down that rabbit hole, there was no getting me out. So I stayed there for three years in that rabbit hole. And then when I finally emerged, it was clear that I was never going to work again. I think you could work again. I think it'll come around. I mean, like we have friends who got pretty bad canceled or dragged or whatever, and then they kept going and flipped it.

I was never canceled. Oh, okay. I canceled myself. Got it. I think he could work again. Yeah. I don't know that I, unless I do something like that again, I'm not really that interested. I don't know if something like that's going to exist again. Yeah. Well, David's still writing, and we still owe each other a phone call, so let's see what's happening in David's world. All right.

David, if you need an annoying side character, I'd love to be like whiny Jew number two in a scene. You could play a Genzo. I could be. You look more Italian than this guy. I look more Jewish. Yeah. What the hell? We'll be like the low level guys. Like, what's it like to kill somebody? Yeah. Those idiots. I'll be the gay character. You think I could fucking do it? I'm down. That'd be fun. Where are you guys from? I'm from New York City, Manhattan. Oh, okay.

New Orleans. Oh. Yeah. Okay, that's cool. That's like even crazier than New York. Oh, yeah. Where'd you go to school? I went to a school called Browning in Midtown. Oh, yeah. That's cool. I went to Loyola. Oh, that's cool. And Marymount. Hey. No shit. Yeah. All right, easy. Upper East Side fucking Catholic schoolgirl. Love it. Half the school is Jewish. Oh. A lot of Jews. Yeah. Ironically, no Browns at your school. Yeah.

It was fun. Okay. Yeah. I went to public school, so. In New Orleans. Yeah. It was dicey. Wild. A lot of browns. Yeah. Fun time.

But then I went to Catholic for high school and that was a whole different world. A lot of drugs. A lot of drugs. Yeah. A lot of drug tested. It got so bad. Oh, really? Yeah, they'd clip armpit hair. No. What? Yeah, because everybody kept shaving their heads because they didn't want to get busted. So they would just go right to the pit. Stop it. So you have to shave your eyebrows too? Well, that wasn't enough. No.

You needed like a real patch. For me, it's enough. What about ball hair? You can do ball hair, but that's a little smelly. Wait a second. Did they really drug test you for real? Are you joking around? No, no. We really did. I mean, I was drug tested, but for other reasons. But wow. Why were you drug tested? Because I was a maniac when I went to college. And then I wanted to go back to college. Booger sugar? Everything. Really? What's everything? Plan B? I was like, I'm playing B drugs.

She OD'd on plan B. It's broken. My baby never showed up. Yeah, no, but wow. Never rehab.

I did rehab. Oh, you did rehab. I did a stint. I got to try. Listen, I got to try everything once. How was rehab? Mine was terrible. My brother went to one in West Hampton. He was banging bitches. It was all normal fucking kind of rehab for him. Fancy. My rehab was across from Gracie Mansion. It was like I...

I didn't belong there. Damn. I was just a little princess. I didn't know anything. Right. But they whipped me into shape there. Really? Can you have a drink now or no? Oh, yeah. All right. I was tricked into becoming an addict when I was young. I believe I was tricked into it. It was trickery.

And then I don't think I was ever really an addict. I think I got like side swiped into because we were all by and blow after hours, stuff like that. You got in a car with some guy. He just went to the woods and you're like, fuck, I'm on the drugs. But they started slipping kids heroin. And the kids think they're doing coke. And now you're doing heroin. And now you're a fucking addict. And you don't even know it. You think you're just partying and then you're puking. And then you're like, oh, wait a minute. This feels...

Not so bad. Right. So it was like this sneaky thing. Whoa. Yeah. Free fentanyl at least because now with the fentanyl, it's over. Yeah, you got to not do coke. No, you can't do any of it. My kids aren't allowed out of the house, period. Well, I had a bachelor party and a bunch of guys got coke and then they had to test it and it really kills the mood. Yeah. You know, it's like. That's why you bring an opening act on these things. Yeah.

Let him be the guinea. That's what happened. I was in Springfield, Missouri at a gig. Some guy comes in the green room. He's like, I got Coke. I'm like, you should be careful. I'm like, I'm good. I'm like, how do you know it's good? He's like, I got a guy testing. You just bring a friend you don't care about now? That's what happens? Crash dummy, yeah. I can't believe anyone does it anymore. I think it's so weird to me. It's popular again. Even weed with my kids. I'm like, you guys don't even...

ever try that weed that they're selling in the stores. Oh, that's crazy. The store weed? I'm like, look, if you really got to try weed, let me go get it like the old, let me go get you a dime bag in the park. Yes, with seeds in it. How many stores are just weed stores now? I passed a place. It's so funny when they closed down, I walked by one and it was, I think it was called Senor Bong's and it was just boarded up. I'm like, that was someone's dream.

That was someone's dream to make that place. He was like, Senor Bongs is no more. Senor Bongs. It's weird because when we grew up, potheads were like losers and they didn't get anything done. And now it's like entrepreneur millionaires. I don't know though, man. I mean, I've been hearing shit about the weed that is really twisting everybody out of control.

The new weed, this new, I don't know, government-vibed weed, I don't know, regulated weed, I just feel like that's not... I don't think it was ever the answer, man. I don't think so. I think there should have been like an underground, almost legal weed. Right. Like, let's just leave the pot dealers alone, but let's not put it at a federal level. Yeah. You know what I mean? Let's just leave them alone. It's good for income. It's making a ton of, you know, billions and billions. But I do agree that...

Excuse me. What are you fucking drinking? Sorry, we had a couple of sodas. Do you guys drink on here? We usually do, yeah. Do you want to have a drink? You want one? No. All right. But I will. I mean, if you really want to have it. What are you guys drinking? We got quite a gaggle. We got our drink here. What's going on over here? We still have our own whiskey. Whose glasses are these? Those are for the house. We could just do it. Do you like whiskey at all or no? I mean, I'll take a sip of your whiskey. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, Peter. Let's fucking go. After I just talked about my heroin addiction. Yeah.

Dre's like, so I've been to rehab. We're like, we should drink. I just got out of rehab last week, guys. You know. Well, the problem with the weed, though, is that people think it's this cure-all. You know, like, oh, I have anxiety. I'll smoke weed. I have ADD. I'll smoke weed. It's like, it's still a drug. Like, you're still getting fucked up. Am I the only one who gets worse anxiety on weed? I'm with you. Well, you guys are in your 30s? Yeah. Yeah, that's when it starts. And when I hit my 30s, I never smoked weed again. I was a fucking massive pothead. Same.

huge pot head and I you know I would I would I don't drive anymore but I used to drive with my knees and I would roll my joints and I smoked a lot of pot I wouldn't touch it I don't want my kids near it I feel like whatever is in the weed now has got to fucking go whether it's just the plant and it's just so concentrated it's not cool man and I've heard that it

What is happening with these kids now is, well, a lot of kids are being rushed to the hospital when they smoke weed and having mental breaks. And that's new. That never happened when we were kids. You know what I mean? Like, what the fuck is going on? Something else is going on. So I'm not down with it. I don't think there's a cool culture to it anymore. Right, right. For kids. Yeah.

Adults want to fuck off, go fuck off. Right. Walk yourself to the hospital. They're on Adderall. They're on antidepressants. They're on like so many pills now. It's crazy. I know. Not my kids. It's also big pharma, man. It's like the government, you know? Yeah. Yeah. It's just turning into Rogan right now. Let's do it.

Don't get me started. You should get on Rogan. He doesn't want me. He doesn't want me. All I want to talk about is even deeper shit than what they're talking about there. Oh, look at this shit. Make that a double, Peters. She's going to open up. I'm taking a fucking sip. That's it. But look at these ice cubes are really sexy. Those are weed infused.

I'll kill you. I will kill you. No, I don't want to get high either. We got shows tonight. Yeah, yeah. How many shows do you guys do a day? I'm doing, I think I'm a couple at the Cellar tonight. I've been off. Oh, you guys are going to, you're going on the stage. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Come by the Comedy Cellar sometime. It's a good time. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes. Is that the one that's near Meta? Right on McDougal. Yes. Yeah. It's a great club. So you roll out of bed and go, I love that place. It's the best. I can roll out of bed, do some jokes about Jews and go home. Yeah. It's pretty nice. And then I go on after. You guys ready for a Jew? I love that you guys are woke. Hey. I love comedians. You guys are the only ones that are allowed to be bad. Well, I love it. Cheers. Thanks for coming by. Hey.

Cheers. Come on. Best day of my life. We might be drunk. So are you guys sometimes drunk? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You might be? This is our whiskey. This is ours. This is Bodega Cat. What's it called? Bodega Cat Whiskey. Bodega Cat. You know, the cat that sleeps on the bread? Yes, I know. Have you guys seen that brand Peralta?

Skateboard? No, there's this guy that makes all, he makes the bodega cat sitting on a loaf of bread. What? And it says bodega, yeah. Pull it up. Peralta. Lawsuit, let's do it. He makes t-shirts. Yeah, right. He makes these great shirts that say Nueva York. Ah.

I'm Puerto Rican, by the way. In case anybody didn't know. I thought I smelled rice and beans. You can smell these pits right now. Oh, that's cute. Look at that. Yeah, look at that. Bodega cat. You guys are suing. Yeah, we should link up with this guy. Let's do it. Collaborate. Wait, where is it? This is your booth, right? Where'd it go? Yeah. It's a tiny one. It's got a little cat on it. Hold on. The old lady.

There you go. Hold on. We got a big bottle, man. He's got it. This is it. Get the big bottle for the old bitch. That's cool, guys. Hey, we're trying. BodegaCatWhiskey.com, folks. Oh, my God. You guys need to link up. You guys are a little floored right now when I leave here. I can't believe that bitch just fucking pulled up this Bodega Cat shit. No, I kind of like that picture. It's cool. It would be a nice pic for the... I like it. Yeah. But he's got a lot of other things. That's cool.

Okay. But, you know, the Bodega Cat is a thing, so. Definitely. I mean, is this trademarked? Yeah. I guess. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, shit. What if we were such dumb businessmen, we're like, what? What does that mean? Don't take them down. Don't take them down, guys. It's a cute little company. Oh, that's cute. I got to get one of those. Oh, what's that? I like that. It's like a little figurine.

I love it. Adorable. I just opened up a can of cats up in here. You're always happy to see that cat. Of course. You're never not happy. And it's killing the mice, too, which means it's a little more hygienic in there. Yeah. That's good, guys. Hey. I like it. She likes it. I like it. You want some, Robbie?

All right, Robbie. Come on, buddy. Come and get it, buddy. Oh, there you go. Here, take it. Thank you, sir. We can get him his. Good. Oh, yeah. We'll do one of the sips. He knows that mommy can't drink too much right now. Do I have anything else scheduled today? Oh, my mom. I have my mom scheduled today. Oh, that's a full time job. That's going to be intense. How did your mom feel about Adriana's mom on the show?

Oh, she was the bad seed. She was the actress who played the bad seed when she was a little girl. Oh, wow. Yeah. So that was exciting to someone like my mom who's, you know, in the theater and all that shit. But I will say this. You guys mentioned the whole anti-defamation society and all that shit. I was like the number one person who would speak out against that. And I was the shy one on the show. But I was definitely. Oh, look, there she is. Patty McCormick. Wow.

She was the bad seed. The problem with the Anti-Defamation League is it is their job to get offended. Fuck them. It is their job to be like, this is offensive. I'm like, without that, you don't have a thing. Right. It's like the mouth of murder. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I mean, the Italians were the ones that had a problem with it. I felt like were the super insecure Italians. I was like, come on, man, this is art. How can you? But it was such like deep rooted, incredible art aside from it just being gratuitous television, you know? And it changed the face of TV. It was a huge contribution to the Italian community. And it's a genre. The mafia is a fucking genre. So what are we going to do? If you want to complain about portrayals on The Sopranos,

Hesh, the Jew on the show? Oh, he's the best. We got the case. He's the best. I loved him. I loved Hesh. But no, exactly. And I love the way they portrayed, it was Lorraine Bracco on the show's ex-husband character. Richard Romanis. He was in Mean Streets. Wow, is that right? Yes, that's Richard Romanis. He was hilarious. That was the guy who was like, this is how we're portrayed. They were so aware of that. Yes.

Yeah. It was pretty brilliant. I mean, David, he's a genius. I love him so much. Are you familiar with the comedian Nick DiPaolo? He was on an episode. Was he? He was in the Columbus Day episode. Oh, that's right. He's one of the cops. That's right. Yeah, yeah. I didn't know.

Nick DiPaolo. What are you doing over there? He's drunk right now. Yeah, I guess so. So Nick DiPaolo had a great joke about, he's like, he's super Italian, and he's like, all these people complaining about how the Italians are represented on The Sopranos. He's like, I like how we're represented. I hate how we're represented on the Olive Garden commercial. Yes! It was a great joke. It's so true. Here he is. Oh, this is a great episode, too. Patsy. I'm not taking any big ass. I don't give a fuck what the hell you want.

I love that Artie immediately gets a bottle to his head. You guys know everything. There he is! That's Nick DiPaolo. The cop? The cop, yeah. Really funny comedian. He knows everybody. Oh my god. I don't remember this. Is that Patsy? Yeah.

You know his story, right? No. He played two characters on the show and they loved him so much they brought him back as a twin brother. Wow. And he was one of my mom's oldest friends. A lot of the actors on the show were my mom's really old friends. So it was cool. Wow. He got the opposite of the band. He got a brought back. Yes. That's crazy. Yes. They love him. Furio, he's gone. They bring... I know. What season was Furio gone? It must have been four. Four.

It was four? No, because that was the arc with Carmella and they wrote him out. I'm pretty sure it was four. Okay. How long was he on the show for?

I thought he was on for a while, but maybe... When was the Italy episode? I don't know. Do you know how much I fucking know? Yeah, it's all... We've watched this so many times. Yeah, him and Carmela, that was a hot tension. Or her with the painter. What about the priest? Or the priest. Rintintola. She was so repressed. Was that his name? I think you're close. Father Rintintola? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, the accent is one of my favorite things in the world. What is it called? Buniqua? What was the cunt? Oh, shit. Oh, buquiac. Buquiac. I got to remember that. Buquiac. Buriqua. You're thinking of the buriqua cat now. No, I'm not. Buquiac. Buquiac. I don't even know how to spell buquiac, but you know what? If we're going to make jewelry, Robbie, we should make a buquiac necklace. An ultra-free buquiac necklace. Yeah. Hard one to give to your girlfriend. Pussy. It's a pussy.

Big pussy hanging from your neck. How about when Big Pussy got caught? I mean, that was one of the big moments. I loved him. That was one of the best wackings because they did it like ceremony. Yeah, they tricked him. I don't remember how it went down. They all took shots together and then they shot him. They shot him. Pull it up. They took shots and then shot him. Like how I don't know what the fuck's going on? I found the Bukak family history on Ancestry.com.

Oh, there's somebody's last name. How are you spelling Bukyak? I phonetically B-U-C-K-A-C-K. Oh, this is worse than Anthony Wiener. Is it not a P? Oh, help me out. Bukyak. Bukyak. I could be wrong. Oh, Bukak. You have Bukak. What about Kyak? That's a real Kyak. Don't look that one up with your kid right behind you.

All right. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. I can't spell this. I need to see something. Help me spell that word, anyone. Yeah. What if you go... Let's try a P-U...

A P-U-Q. P-U-Q. Oh, my God. Let's go crazy now. I have another question while we're doing this. I don't fucking know. How do you say a woman's cunt in Italian? Oh, my God. Yes, it's P-U-C-C. I'm getting... Let's see it. Wait, Vanessa, what is it? All right, Vanessa. P-U-C-C-H-I-A-C-A. You were fucking drinking last night, weren't you? I swear.

Listen to your voice. Fucking drunk over there. I want my fucking whiskey back. I have another question for you. What? You know, I heard Joe Pantoliano on a show say during his time on Sopranos, people would be like mad at him on the street. Oh, me too. Me too. Yeah, they get mad at you. Oh, yes. You're a fucking rat. Shut the fuck up. Oh, my God.

That is intense. Look at the definition, by the way. Read the definition out loud, Mark. I thought it was too. You know what? That needs to be on camera somehow. Have that one. Call that one Pukyak. Wait, you guys don't show these. Do you guys show this shit? The definition is from the Sopranos. That's great. That's from the Sopranos? Yeah. That's pretty good. Is that Urban Dictionary? Yeah, Urban Dictionary. It just says cunt in parentheses Italian. Cunto. Wait, they're not even saying... Oh, they're saying cunt. Okay. Gak.

It's my favorite. Just say it. Say it, guys. Pukyaka. Pukyaka. Say it all together. One, two, three. Three, two, one. Pukyaka. Pukyaka. It's Pukyak. Pukyaka. No kaka. Pukyak. Take me off. Pukyak. Fuck my Pukyak. Pukyak. Oh, fucking Pukyak. Put something in my Pukyak. All right.

Seven inches. Fill me up. On a good day. He finishes that. I'm going to show you. I love that word. It's such a good word. Robbie, I don't say that word enough at home. Yeah. The kids like that word. What's your favorite scene ever on the show? That's your favorite? The boogak scene. My favorite scene on the show ever. You know, I don't have a favorite scene, but I do have...

I love all of the endings where they just sort of leave you with like a tableau of like a piece of their lives. There's no momentous thing happening. It can be something as simple as Tony Soprano and Carmela and her heating him up, ZD and him sitting at the table and eating like those moments for me.

are what sort of separated the show from other shows. That it didn't go for any kind of fireworks in certain moments. The minutiae of family life. And Christopher says that too, right? What does he say? He says something about everyday life. It's some philosopher too, I can't remember. But he talks about everyday life and how it can become unbearable. Right. And then my favorite episode was the one where they murder...

When Ralphie murders the stripper. Yes. Maybe one of the darkest episodes of TV ever made. I thought it was great because I loved that juxtaposed against Meadow at college. And she was so...

to her roommate and had no compassion at all. And she was as savage as her father. And to see the juxtaposition of that girl with Meadow and this girl, just this innocent girl their whole life ahead of her, but she's a stripper and has no resources. And this other kid has all the resources and she can't even help her friend. There was just so much sort of...

savagery in that episode. People hated that episode, but I thought it was really powerful. Oh, I love that song, The Kinks. That's one of my favorite songs. I remember being like, oh my God, this is fucking powerful. Yes, I forgot that. Powerful. Nice call. They always close on a

amazing song. Yes. And he got, you know, that's a Scorsese thing. No mood music. Never trying to tell you how to feel about a scene. It's always, is that source music when it's just a, is that what it's called? I like that. The source music, Robbie, when it's just a song? No score. Yeah. We have no score on the show. So I have that nine second clip for you here about. Uh oh. Which is this one? More Pukia? Regularness of life. Oh, you got this one. Tony. I don't know.

It's like just the fucking regularness of life is too fucking hard for me or something. I don't know. That's heroin right there for you. Yeah, he's so good. But that's the heroin thing. That's a thing. Like if you're a junkie, because all of a sudden everything's heightened when you're high on that shit. Right. And the regularness of life, you can't even tie your shoe. You're like, what the fuck am I going to tie my shoe for? I'm going to get high first.

- Damn. - And then I could tie my shoe. And then I know what's up, man. - Yeah, that's heavy. - That was another part of the genius of the show is to show this mob side and family side though too, just to show his regular life, to show him at a barbecue. - I think that was why the show appealed to so many people. And I always said that it had something for everyone. People who love the mob genre,

who love a family show, people who love, you know, a critically acclaimed, like really deep, intricate story. It had a little bit of something for almost every audience. Other shows didn't. Ones that followed it that were like it, that tried to be in its

And it's mold sort of, you know, like my dad couldn't get with Sons of Anarchy. My dad couldn't get with Breaking Bad, maybe because he's Italian. But some, you know, the mafia thing is just so universal. Everybody wants to watch a mob show. And now you have it in this regular way with the therapist, like...

And Analyze This came out at the same time, but it wasn't important. I feel like Sopranos might have killed the mob genre, though, because it was so good that nothing could follow it. I think so. I think the combination of the humor and the...

and the realness of it because really what has been after that think about it can you think of a great mob movie after I mean the Irishman but that's a different mob different different yeah there's good gangster stuff like I thought In Bruges was an awesome movie there's great gangster stuff but there's no great like real mob stuff yeah I mean the mob was over at that point anyhow I think in the world yeah the mob looks very different these days we should

They're not even Italian. Right. They're fucking Swiss and German. So efficiently. Yeah. You know, they all live up there in Davos. That's the fucking mafia. Fauci. We still got Fauci. We got public enemy number one. I haven't seen him in a while, though. That motherfucker. He's from Brooklyn. He's on the lam. He fucking better be. That'd be a good mob show. Fauci on the lam running.

Just hoarding all that vaccine. I'm just going to be quiet now. Because I know you guys are on YouTube. I don't want to fuck up your station. Well, we got RFK Jr. next, so. Do you really? No, I'm just kidding. I would like to talk to him. Yeah.

Yeah, voice. We're going to have to do some voice adaptation. We're going to have to Kanye his voice. Oh, my God. Auto-tune, not the other stuff. Right. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to plead the fifth right here right now. All right. Not saying nothing. Well, you know, I hope you don't stop acting. Yes. I think you're really good at it. Oh, thanks, guys. I'd like to see you do some stuff. Listen, I'm still acting every day. I'm just acting like I, you know.

I'm acting like an asshole. Well, I hope you don't stop your OnlyFans. Oh, yeah. Me neither. Can you tell us what this UltraFree.co is? Oh, yes. Oh, look, look, look. Speaking of Sopranos and tits and freedom and RFK and all things, you know, liberty. Please, you had us at tits. Here we go. Hold on a minute. Um...

Yeah, ultra free. So yes, when I started the OnlyFans page, it was my sort of answer to we-- and this is now we're gonna get serious for a minute guys, but I don't take myself very seriously. It's time to start getting really comfortable being uncomfortable in the state of the world right now. So I've never done selfies or taken pictures of myself in fucking bathing suits and put them on Instagram or done any of that stuff.

And I was going to start a podcast on OnlyFans. That's why we started the OnlyFans page. We were going to do kind of a political podcast on there. I knew I wouldn't be censored because I was constantly censored with the Sopranos one that we did on YouTube. Oh, really? We started it. And then I was like, fuck this. I can't do it anymore. So I started the OnlyFans page. And...

I ended up putting one picture up and it was, it went crazy. So we never did the podcast. We just kept the only fans page, me and bikinis, which have never fucking done. And now maybe more. Yes, exactly. I mean, I tried this and they were like, go back to the podcast, please. Now that we're in the woke world and being a woman is going backwards these days, you know, I figure, fuck it may as well really let my freak flag fly and let my tits out and just go for it. Who gives a shit?

So the whole purpose of the OnlyFans was to fund getting me out of debt with our home and then to fund Ultra Free, which is a movement sort of tour. It's a streetwear line, but it's more about trying to unite all of the people that this administration sort of tore apart with all these bullshit social issues. I know that a lot of people don't think they're bullshit.

But when you're looking at the big, big picture of what's really going on behind the administration, the social issues are just a way to keep us all divided. So this whole line was to bring us back together. We need freedom to be cool again. It's become a four-letter word. You might be censored because I mentioned the word freedom on your YouTube page. Mm-hmm.

because freedom is a big no-no these days. So that's the whole purpose of our line is... Cool clothes, too. Yeah, and it's fun. It's like MK Ultra Free. Like, don't let them fucking brainwash you guys. And it's our apocalypse protection gear. I like it. It's fun. It's just fun. I got a question. If you're wrapping up, are you wrapping up? Yes. I got a question. Is that okay? So you were top of the world in New York City a certain time.

Did you ever party with Diddy? Yes. Really? Yes. What's it like? I mean, I don't really remember those days. I mean, I went to the white parties and we did a movie together. Oh. It was one of Favreau's movies. We did a movie called Maid, speaking of the mafia. That's a good flick, Vince Vaughn. Yeah. And what's that big black guy? Faison. Oh, Faison. Yes, Faison. But yeah, I...

I don't really know what's going on with this whole Diddy thing. I'm starting to hit myself to it a little. I think you had too much ultra freedom for a while. I think that, I think there's a lot of assets within our industry that are being definitely compromised. And a lot of assholes in this industry. That too, man. There's a lot going on. Just keep that kid where he is. Don't let him go anywhere. You know what I'm saying? There's no diddling over here. The P. Diddy. Damn.

Damn. I don't know enough about it, but I am starting to follow what's going on. You were too old for him. Yeah, exactly. How about any other like interesting partying in New York City at that interesting time? Any limelight? 2000 to 2008. Oh, I used to hang out at the limelight. We used to get drugs there. That's where they would trick you with heroin. Dang. That's one of the places. Yeah. Holy shit. It was mayhem the way I grew up. Do you remember seeing anyone there where you were like, holy shit.

Meryl Streep. Dame Judi Dench. I bartended for years. You're way younger than me, so you wouldn't know these places. But a place called Morrissey, Nell's, not Nell's, Rex, all these, you would probably know these spots because you're probably my age. He's from Brooklyn. You're probably younger than me, too. The Tunnel? Everybody's younger than me. I partied at the Tunnel, too. But I worked at a bunch of other places that were...

I mean, I lived the life. I was living on my own at like 15. Oh my gosh. Going back and forth to my parents' apartment in Manhattan, to my grandmother's house in Queens. I was wild. Any wild hookups? You and David Blaine? Maybe a young Leo? Tobey Maguire? I didn't sleep with anybody. Come on! I didn't. I didn't. I wasn't running around. I was just partying and having a good time, but... Those earrings? Let me think. Anybody...

I don't know. Do you think I would fucking tell you guys? No, I would because I'll tell you anything. Really? Wesley Snipes. I might remember and call you guys while you're on the podcast. All right, please. That's the black phone. Oh, look at that phone. We'll do ADR for the podcast. Yeah. And I'll be laughing and crying. Right. Well, hey, that was great. Thanks for coming on.

Yeah. Something cooking? Maybe, I don't know. All I do is talk, so maybe just fucking keep talking. That's what people love. I never shut up. It's women talking. Yeah. I'm going to talk naked.
