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 there, I'm like, you sent my agent? I'm so fucked up.

I need something to soak up this booze. Yeah. Just as he starts telling it, like plates are chicken. And he's literally like going into how his son passed away.

I'm just like. Yeah, exactly. Just stuffing my face. Wow, yeah, he went into that, I did kill Tony with him and that was a big mistake. And 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 it was a rough night But they edit out 20 minutes of him But you got a good we got him on a good day cuz bird is just like you know we were here you and you know

It's a kind of open on that. That's nice He was in a good mood for the first of it until that happened, but then we got him back with a couple dick jokes and. Yeah, he likes to bring that up quite a bit on comedy shows. Well, Bert, 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?

Resends the same text, because I don't answer. Yeah. Resends 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 gotta be aggressive to get what you want sometimes.

Sometimes. Sometimes. Not with dating. No, don't do that. Don't rape. Don't rape. 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 gotta 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. It's got to be a little back and forth. This is no This is only fourth no back. What do you got another one? Yeah? I got another one and while you're finding it I got to say I took your wreck're finding it, I gotta say, I took your wreck manhunt and I burned through

the whole series. Oh, wow. On Apple, John Wilkes Booth show. Oh. Did you finish it yet? I have not, is it over? Yeah, there's seven episodes. Okay.

The mini series on Apple, John Wilkes Booth. It's really a good show. I liked it and you learn because. Yes. I like those history shows cause 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 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 assassinated by an actor. I know, it's crazy. It's like a fucking Billy Baldwin shot Biden or something. No, way bigger, 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. It 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, yeah, it's like Marlon Wayans. Yeah, you know it's not Damon

It's like the Billy Baldwin's pretty good If you're doing rec somebody on our feed wrecked something out your reddit feed where they wrecked 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 and he doesn't- But he's sort of encouraged and- 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 she's like upping it, and 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. True friend, yeah. And it's killing it all. That is not how you want to make it as a comic, but he got stalked, and now he's got a Netflix thing. Yeah. Wow. So he kinda made it that way. True crap. Yeah. And it's killing it all. That is not how you wanna 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. It's really, isn't it really fucking good? It's not cursing and stuff though. No but it's. Okay.

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 bad ass show. And look, it's well made. And they canceled the guy who made it. Really, this guy? Yeah, everyone was complaining, no, it was well made and they canceled the guy who made it really this guy. He was like they were everyone was complaining No, it's a black guy. Oh He's a gay black guys now a gay black guy, too It's yeah damn anybody's he made a killer show though. I gotta tell you like well done

Okay, what was your other peeve? Uh This is a little I'm gonna maybe put some people out on this one. 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, I'm not like homophobic, I'm more emotionaphobic.

That could be a bit. Oh really? Emotionaphobic. Yeah, you know the guy like, 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 ya, and I'm like, yeah, 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, like friends might be at different emotional levels. Like there's a guy who hugs too much,

some guys are like, oh, some of those guys, we have friends, 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, I'd, 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 it. I don't like it. I don't love you. But 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 tricking me. Yeah.

Like 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 gonna 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, I don't think I- No, he said love you. But that's not in love with you.

That would be even more shit. That would be terrifying. But you just said that. He's like, I'm not in love with you, you said, but he's not saying that either. He's just saying, you're great, I respect you. I love you. You.

Just like, 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 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. Yes, softens it a little though It does soften it a little the a always softens. That's how I propose like that Especially with the n-word you can take that right out. That's what you're going for 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 interesting. It's not something I think about because usually I'm just like,

I love you too, but I know what you mean, like the jumping levels. Yeah. In terms of like, you wanna, you do feel like a woman, but you're like, you gotta earn it, dude. Ha ha ha ha ha. You gotta 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 the teeth out of it Yeah, you know, it's like racist you call everybody a racist that real races are having a ball, you know Son, you're 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, 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, that's, you gotta save that. Got nowhere 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. I maybe now it's different. Love you, Charlie. My dad, I know. He's got the headphones on. He didn't hear it. That feel like dads don't say it a lot. I maybe now it's different. Love you Charles. My dad I know. He's got the headphones on.

He didn't hear it. That's the only time he's heard it. My dad never said it. Bose. Yeah. No I, I think my dad didn't say it that much either but I knew he loves me. Yes.

He'd 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. Mom say it more. I heard this great story by Penn Jillette, he was on one of these podcasts, whatever, he's great on podcasts, and he was saying,

my mom never said this to me, and she was dying, and I was with her on a beach, 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. Hey! How's it going? Hi. But my dad would do this, you're a good kid that was that meant I love you. The backpack was big. Backpack was big, shoulder grab maybe, tussle. Yeah. Did dad always feel so strong when you were 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. Yeah. 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 Bickrum was like a legit offender, that guy.

Yeah, I watched the doc. That was a legit 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 to be a sex offender. Bickrum? Yeah.

I was sexually assaulted by who? Bickrum. Oh yeah. It just 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 our Kelly. We got Harvey. We got Cosby I mean they're really having a moment the Nickelodeon doc. Yeah, no, I pointed to your son, but yeah Hey, how are you? Yeah, he's got the headphones on you're good. Yeah. Yeah, okay, sir. We can get you a tap Well if you want to, we can get there. Mark. How are you? Sit down. Hi. Thanks for joining us.

Hi. There's your mic. Oh, hi. I hate these things. Oh, sorry. Let me get away from you. Okay. There you go. Alright. 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. Oh, I've never seen it, I'm sorry. I'm like, pssh.

Sorry. That's their loss. We literally have them on the wall there. Yeah, we got Pauly right there. The old, uh. 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 pie, oh my. Yeah, that's great. And the boss. That was the one, Pauly Walnuts, he had it hanging up. Why are you wearing a good fella's shirt? You know, where's the crown? It's Good Villas, it's the Knicks. Ah. 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 Second Avenue. Oh, I know that one, right by the French fry place. The Fifth Street? Seven.

Seven. Between St. Mark's and Seventh. Oh shit, yeah, I've walked by that. Yeah, that was intense. That was crazy, and you lived there while that happened Yeah, my girlfriend called me up in LA. She's like to turn on the news your buildings 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-eleven Three huge buildings went down. My building was tiny 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, he, 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 then the 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 OK. 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 the episode. Yeah, like Steve Buscemi's in there with the pipes. That's my life. Yeah. I thought you lived. Oh, I did do that. Oh, when the apartment, do you live? Yeah, well, everybody knows where you live now. But I'm moving soon.

Oh, you are? Are you in? So you're yeah, you're obviously you're in that. Remember what my address was there. I rented Jack, like was a relative of Jackson Pollock's but that was when when that building went down I needed to I was taking 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 gonna 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.

The big family? I know. So we got a nice townhouse over there in Minetta Lane. It was nice. It was gated. It was safe. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. I went broke doing that. Well, it's funny.

I live on Minetta now and it's this cutest 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 in a doorway. Good times. Yeah, it's, I love it. Late at night, man, late at night, I would be hanging out that window like,

holy shit, the fights. Yes! The fights, I was like, they should charge admission for this shit. Yeah, a lot of good bars on that avenue, so it's gonna happen in the, we're taking it outside, that's where you take it, that little alleyway.

Right, yeah, that's a good bar. Yeah, that's where they shit too, against the walls, 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 in there. Being a super is like being a dad to a newborn. Yeah, right. He's always cleaning up.

That's true and he's always grumpy. Yeah. Yeah and he won't answer my calls. Yeah. Pretty super. You gotta talk Sopranos a little, because I mean it is. Oh yeah.

We're such big fans. Are you sick of it? No. Okay, good. I don't like people that haven't watched The Sopranos, I'm just kidding. We've seen it 800 times. Yeah.

It's a show I re-watch every couple years, and for some reason every time, it's funnier than I remember. It's so funny. Oh yeah. 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 there were no intentions of them being funny. You know, it's 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.

But because you guys will teach me a little bit, but I only rewatched 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, 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. Oh, James. Yeah, they were tight with him. They were tight, obviously all their scenes were with him. Yeah. Yeah, and then Sharipa has one.

Does he still have that pod with Imper imperial II know that was nuts over right? That's over. I think okay. They were great. It was great. It was awesome. Yeah now he's on Broadway To his Mike. Oh, I saw it. He's awesome. Yeah, really play people. Yeah, I just saw the That's that demonstration. That was the only oh, yeah, I that and I was like, what is this, what's happening? Well that's why they did it because people are talking, right? Yeah. That's why you protest.

Pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy. Stuff right there. Good for business. What are 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. Oh, I didn't know. 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 New Jersey Transit bus.

Oh, pull that up. And they hated it. That's great. Yeah, they, it just. Why would they hate, why would they hate something funny? I think, I don't know what's great. Yeah. It just. Why would they hate it? Why would they hate something funny? I think, 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 the Oscars on acid in dressing? Yeah. No. And they hated that. They hate people. That was awesome. Because they think that you're messing with the sanctity

of their little as opposed to just having fun Anti-fun, they're anti-fun. Yeah. Yeah, 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 a Oh, that's true. Well things have changed. Yeah guess sorry Oh, you couldn't do that now forget about the fucking woke mafia will come out Kill you Yeah, that Leah Thomas His dick too long for that skirt

But wow the bus thing is fun though, that's like, it's 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, I was 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 loved 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, 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. You know? When you were at the FBI informant, that was heavy stuff. And none of that was fun. I had to be, 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 gonna 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 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. Whoa. Because we didn't, you know, that was a machine hooked up to the back of me with a tube. Cause 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 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? Like, and I love dogs, but I was like, dog Addie. 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 Cozette dies.

Ugh. 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. Whoa, 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 Cozette and Tony's like, you killed it, that's what gets through to him that a dog was dead. Yes, yeah, he's such a socialite. 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 Cozette? And they're off on another thing about the heroin, he's like, wait, wait, wait, you killed a dog. Yeah, he's going back to it He's like whoa you sat on cozette and they're off on another thing about the heroin. He's like whoa back to the dog This is the scene pulled. Yeah, I got by the way guys. Sorry. They're spoilers. You should have seen the show by now. Yeah She's not breathing her neck feels broken fuck Oh, that's great. I'm too there for warmth You're fucking crazy! You fucking killed her! I didn't kill her, I must've sad her! That was so good. Oh my poor baby!

I'm sorry! It was an accident for Christ's sake! How long have I been saying she shouldn't be on the furniture? It's because of your fucking eye, Christopher! That was heartbreaking. You fucking smacked fuck! So that was laughing? I was heart-breaking. You're going fucking smack-fuck. Ah! So that was laughing? No, well, the ADR. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, it is.

I can't tell. You can't tell. I forgot, I forgot that we were watching it for the, I was so into the emotion of it all. Great stuff. But, because it's between him being funny and her being emotional. And he's pissed at you, he's like annoyed.

He's 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? They wanted me to get up to that level of emotion on his takes. And he said to me, dude, just do what you gotta 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 gonna 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. Yeah, season four episode 10. The whole thing works. So wait, the writers give you acting notes? The writers, TV is an act as a writer's medium. Not the director's world at all. The 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 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, and 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 wanna do that now with a scene where I have to be hysterical? And all I wanna do is die laughing. So I'm trying to hold on to being upset. Because of his little doll. And I'm dying, 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. So good. That's an insane thing to say when you killed a dog. Yeah. I can't take a seer. 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, I knew like deep, and 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 orchestrate a scene like a song, like with all of, a scene, the entire piece,

or that's how I learned to act, was by watching, 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. So I read it to her, 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 gonna get made. Whoa. Wow. And then they called me for the series, and she was with me, and they wanted me to run in, in Queens, they were like, we're in Queens,

I was like, I can't, I'm in Queens. Yeah, yeah. 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 played in diamonds. I was like, that's all we need, mom.

Just that name played in diamonds. Damn, was it David Chase? Yeah. He was the main guy. The creator. Main guy. 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 on the mafia, but that was like his mom kind of vibe situation. Yeah. I'm trying to sit like a lady over there. I'm having a really hard time. Church pew here. It's tough. There was another scene, I gotta find it, where Adriana and Christopher 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. Do you know what I'm talking about? Mm. 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 there? I think you did, is that it? Oh, let's see, he's chugging vodka. Oh, I hate having to hit him. I'm like, just hit me, I don't wanna hit anybody. I can't deal with it. I'm always afraid I'm gonna hurt somebody that's my wife says Yeah, this is it I think

We tell him we don't mind that shit. We'll do anything wet work pick up your shirts Does Tony ever talk about us No. You guys are 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 make. When everything was finally going good between us. Shut up about that. Why? They're still gonna kiss your ass. They don't care if you're junkie. Go, go, go! You fucking whore! Fuck you.

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 gonna kiss your ass. You know what's crazy? They all fucking think 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 Sil picks you up, I should have known that it wasn't in Chrissy's nature to actually side with a woman over Tony. But I was still shocked when Sil 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 gonna go down two ways, that they were gonna kill me and that I was gonna live

because the confidentiality on set was such a big deal that they didn't want, we had to make sure that the people on the crew weren't gonna 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 I'm a rat in the laundry room, that they do 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, Syl'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. This is a big moment in the show. Let it be that no one knows.

You were gonna 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's gonna be. Right. And then the audience is just gonna 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, I think Terry Winter wrote it. I'm not sure, 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 Cil 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. We were 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. I don't remember either,

but that was the two different ways they shot it, 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? She's doing shooting squirrels Well, you got a hand at HBO cuz they really they really took chances not anymore not anymore Media welcome to the woke media That's why you're only showing YouTube right now. Yeah's why you're in a studio on YouTube right now.

Yeah, everything's changed. Yeah, YouTube too. Sorry guys. You guys wanna cut me out of your show? No, but there it gets a little. None of it's getting cut out. I feel like you know here. Oh, look at Adrian.

He's so young. Maybe. Yep. Observation, do some tests. Who knows? That hurt me. When he turns, it's when he turns off the road, right? We're doing a Soprano re-watch, guys.

Sorry. We're nerds. I love it. Okay, great. I love this, I wish we were doing this when I did my podcast. 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 mean, you know, if you're a strong kid not yet, Chrissy

That hairpiece is really getting lazy I guess that's the moment. The woods, there is the fucking moment. Just another squirrel in the woods. Yeah. Why are you crying? He's gonna be fine. Ah, man. Cold blooded. Oh no. Way to bring the mood down, guys.

I know. Can we kill more dogs? Oh. I saw this in the 90s with my parents because they're not great parents, but they, I do remember like some buzz about Italians being mad that they were being represented so stereotypically and

I'm part of tell you I didn't give a shit you are I'm part Sicilian With that watch you got on that watch you are I like that watch. Okay. I like you might be wearing a members-only jacket. 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 gotta ask you a question. I like you guys.

Hey! I like you, we're friends. I have to ask you a question. Sweatin' balls over here, hold on. I'm sorry, Speeder's keeps it warm. Get this fuckin' mic outta 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? Oh man, there were so many leaks on that set. It was a... was that always done that way or did something in the past leak so they had to start doing that? Oh man, there were so many leaks on that set. It's funny, there's rats in The Sopranos, but they're like actor rats, or writer rats, or grip rats. There were a lot of rats.

You see this book that just came out? He's been talking all kinds of shit on James Gandolfini. What? Who was doing that? Oh yeah, some locations manager, none of us even really know who he is, 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. Exactly. Why just one person? Cause he's not here to speak, that's why didn't have fucking demons. Exactly. Why just one person? Because he's not here to speak, that's why.

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.

More gay. What did you hear? Oh. Let's go. Like some Giacchietto. Is he gay? Do you know what you are right now? He's a fanuc? Are you Italian at all? I'm a Jew now. Same thing.

You know what a Chiacchiarron, so you're a Yenta, I'm a Chiacchiarron. So we talk, Chiacchiarron, you Italian? Yes, you're segueing into my favorite Sopranos clip. Oh, Chiacchiarron, did they say it? It's in the scene. They do not. Buquiac, is that what he said this morning?

Oh, they say buquiac. Oh, you like buquiac? Oh, wow. You like the word buquiac. said this? Oh, I say book. Yeah. Oh you like book. Yeah Like the word like kids here. Hey, oh This is one of the funniest ever oh That one oh, yeah Fucking D girl

In the scene was rolling I not in a long time. Spin the wheel! Spin it! Spin it! And... action! It's still 90s. I never had an egg 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 can't hear the fucking shots of this thing. There's a place on St. Marks. Sober you bitch. Don't do it. Michelle, cut. 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 this we discussed this we're losing right is that that I don't like it I just you know it's the last thing my lever says to me I don't find it particularly interesting or you think it maybe you should shoot her again

I know wait a minute. I don't think shootings right in this case I mean your character's strength is her passivity whose passivity is that her in this case. No this case I think I think he's right Janine. I mean obviously throughout the rest of the piece. He 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.

Bukyak. What? Bukyak. If she's from Brooklyn that sounds okay out of control okay let's roll he says what does it mean he's like cunt what is what were the furio rumors I heard I mean you you really want to that one. It was a podcast, yeah, we went to 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, yeah. That was a bummer, 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, everybody that got taken off the show, there was always speculation that there was a reason

because David didn't appreciate any kind of complaining, backtalk, discontent, why don't I get this? It's Tony. Yeah, he's like, I'm gonna 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 a really split the room I? Love I know I loved it. I like to do I love why did you got an 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 I think you were an adventure

Oh, 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 I think he got whacked, but yeah, I I Don't know. I just don't think there was ever a bad soprano Zep. I loved every app You know 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 my God. I mean, I'm so happy. 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 gonna get a fucking, who was that? That was just a random lady. Don't look like Aida. Yeah. We gotta get charity going. I am going to get fired from being an ex-soprano now. No.

You've already been whacked, what else could I? 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, baseball cap the members only jacket. Mm-hmm But if they were supposed to look like people like Real good is calm. Is it dark super dark for some I can't it's dark. It's a TV Okay, some kids eating playing milkshake. Oh, maybe they represent young Tony Cub Scouts There's car eating no shots here is a mistake. Everything's on purpose right right I

Think he's just being paranoid as you would as a mob boss Do I put the music on you want to hear it with the whole we might get clip for the okay? Yeah, take the music off. I was in a crush on Edie. You did? Oh yeah. I think I did too. Yeah, real woppy face, I like that. Whoa. She had big dick energy.

That's the only reason he told you he was half Italian was so he could break out woppy. Real woppy face. You didn't have to joke. Big clit energy. She does, she was a trick. That was a terrible laugh. Right?

That was clit laugh. That was clit laughs. Dick laughs 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. Who has Porgans?

Let's see that seven inches. Okay AJ. Yeah, it was poor against him. Okay, I'm gonna skip. 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 Mutsadelphic.

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. I know. They were babies. Same with Meadow. She was you know. They were babies. One of the few child actors that 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 after this so who are all these fucking guys? That's nothing

That's what they want you to wonder Okay, that guy looks tough very sussy so none of them are the people that had been killed couple of mullin yawns 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. Do you know of you, is that it was... Do you want to hit it, Alien? And that's when it goes out? Yeah.

That's when it goes out. Yeah. 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 gonna 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, cause 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 and worked on the show, I go, dude, tell me what happens. My TV went out. She's like, that's what happens, dude. And I'm like, what do you mean? Exactly. It's funny, this is before Twitter.

This is before people were like, what the fuck was this? Yeah, nobody could communicate. You have to just call people or talk at the office the next day. Well, that's the thing. It was the number one water cooler show. 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 than, what the fuck was that? Holy shit, what do you think happened now?

We're all telling our theories. I think abstract idea I also the other thing they say they would put they would force a gay subplot and like everything they did Oh, yeah, they really did everything yeah But I think the fans would have been mad You guys are using all the words. I'm not gonna say shit, because people think I'm crazy for fighting for freedom right now. So if I even dare say anything like that, I'm hanging on a cross.

But 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. 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. I don't watch the whole series which I wish I had. Oh it's incredible. Besides Sopranos what's your ultimate? I fell off.

I just started following my boyfriend on the road and just enjoying. Yeah. Nice. What's your I fell off? I I just started following my boyfriend on the road and and Just enjoy. Yeah, and just enjoying my um my life. I never really wanted to act after Well, how am I gonna 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 Thanks guys Only fans now I dive No, thanks guys Now I died Not after what I went through the last three years, I'm not as interested forget it. Yeah only fans

What yeah, how did that start you're just like like fucking right it was that it was it was the It was the old vaccine mandates, and I was just like yeah, I have to just wait a minute here and Once I went down that rabbit hole there was no there was no getting me out Hmm, so I stayed there for three years in that rabbit hole and then when I finally emerged It was clear that I was never gonna work again. I think you could work. I think 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 say.

I was never canceled. Oh, okay. I canceled myself. Yeah, I think you 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 gonna 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 ginzo. I could be. You could. We could be like low level. 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. Who, those idiots? I'll be Jewish. Yeah. What the hell? We'll be like the low level guys, like what's it like to kill somebody?

Yeah. We'll be those idiots. I'll be the gay character. You think I could fucking do it? Yeah. 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 Brownie in the Midtown. Oh yeah, that's cool. I went to Loyola. Oh, that's cool. That's like even crazier than New York. Where'd you go to school? I went to this school called Brownie in the midtown. Oh yeah, that's cool. I went to Loyola. Oh, that's cool. And Marymount. Hey. No shit.

Yeah. All right, easy. A free side folk and Catholic school girl. Love it. Half the school is Jewish. Oh! A lot of Jews. Yeah. I rightly know Browns at your school.

It was so. 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. Yeah, because everybody kept shaving their heads

because they didn't want to get busted, so they would just go right to the pit and they'd just go, oh, I'm going to go to the pit. And they'd just go, oh, I'm going to go to the pit. And they'd just go, oh, I got drug tested, it got so bad. Oh really? Yeah, they'd clip armpit hair. No. 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.

Do you have to shave your eyebrows too? Well that wasn't enough. You needed like a real patch. For me it's enough. What about ball hair? Yeah. We do ball hair, but that's a little smelly. Wait a second, why?

Did they really drug test you for all you're 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? Everything. Plan B? I was like, I'm Plan B drugged. She OD'd on Plan B, it's broken. But the baby never showed up. Yeah, no, but wow.

Never rehab. I did rehab. Oh, you did rehab. I did a stint. I gotta try, listen, I gotta 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 didn't belong there. I was just a little princess. I didn't know anything. But they whipped me into shape there. Really? Can you have a drink now or no?

Oh, yeah. Oh, right. I was tricked into becoming an addict when I was young. I believe I was tricked into his 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 below after hours, stuff like that

And then you got in a car with some guy He just went to the woods and you're like fuck I'm on they started flipping kids heroin Yeah, 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 what 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. Pre-Fentanyl at least,

because now with the Fentanyl, it's over. Yeah, you gotta 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. Oh God. You gotta make them try. Right, let them be the guinea pig. That's what happened, I was in Springfield, Missouri at a gig and some guy comes in the green room and 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? Yeah. 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 gotta 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 there, 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 Bongs and it was just boarded up. I'm like, that was someone's dream.

Oh. That was someone's dream to make that place. He was like, Senor Bongs is no more. Senor Bongs. Yeah. 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. Yeah. I don't know though, man. 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-vibe weed I don't know regulated weed isn't I just feel like that's not I don't think it was ever the answer man. No. 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 billions and billions, but I do agree that... Ugh. Excuse me.

Sorry. What are you fucking drinking? Sorry, we had a couple of sodas. Do you guys drink on here? We'll have a drink with you. Yeah. Do you want one? No.

All right. But I will, I mean, if you really wanna have it. What about the gals here? What are you guys drinking? We got quite a gaggle. We got our drink here. What's going on over here? Still our own whiskey.

Whose glasses are these? Those are for the house. We could just do, do you like whiskey at all or no? I mean, I'll take a sip of your whiskey. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, let's do it. You guys act like you like some good whiskey. Yeah, Peter.

Let's fucking go. After I just talked sip here with you. Yeah, let's get some weed. Yeah, Peter. Let's fucking go after I just talked about my heroin addiction. Dre is 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 it's, 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. Yeah now. Well you guys are in your 30s? Yeah. Yeah, that's when it starts. When I hit my 30s I never smoked weed again. I was a fucking massive pothead. Same. Huge pothead. Oh, oh. 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 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 it's there's a cool culture to it anymore right for kids the adults want to fuck off go fuck off right go to that kid walk yourself to the hospital they're on Adderall they're on antidepress. They're on like so many pills now It's crazy. I know it's also not my kid big pharma man. It's like the government. You know yeah Yes, it's just turned into Rogan right now

Don't get me started if you get on Rogan. He doesn't want me I have you doesn't want me all I want to talk about is even deeper shit than what they're talking about there. You like ilk. Oh look at this shit. Make that a double, Peters. She's gonna open up. I'm taking a fucking sip, that's it. But look at these ice cubes are really sexy.

Yeah, so that was exciting to someone like my mom who's 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 Patti McCormick Wow, she was the bad seed the problem with thedefamation 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 bouts of murder. Yeah. You bouts of murder, whatever you are. 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 gonna do?

Not- If you wanna complain about portrayals on The Sopranos, hech, the Jew on the show, we got the case. He's the best. I love Tim. I loved Hesh. But no, 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 it was pretty brilliant. Well, I mean David is he's the genius. I love him so much

Are you familiar with the comedian Nick DiPaulo? 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 He's drunk right now Yeah, I guess so so Nick DePaulo had a great joke about it. He's like he's a super Italian He's like all these people complaining about how their 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 It was a great joke. It's so true. Here he is.

Oh, this is a great episode too. Patsy. Patsy. Patsy. I love that Artie immediately gets a bottle to his head. Yeah. You guys know everything.

Oh, we're hardcore. There he is! That's Nick DePaulo. The cop? The cop, yeah. Really funny comedian. What the fuck is this, Joey? They get a permit, Sil.

Everybody, come on, let's go! He knows him by name. Oh my God. I don't remember this. Is that Patsy? Yeah. You know his story, right? No.

A lot of the actors on the show were my mom's really old friends, so it was brother. Wow. And he was one of my mom's oldest friends.

It must've been four. Not even later than that. No, cause 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 it was the Italy episode How much I fucking know yeah, it's all we've watched this so many times Yeah, him and Carmella that was a hot hot tension We're with the McCann or the the painter was What about the priest or the print in solar?

I loved him. That was one of the best wackings because they did it like ceremony. Yes. 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. Yeah.

I don't know how do you say a woman's cunt in Italian? Oh my god yes 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? Listen to your voice. Fucking drunk over there. I want my fucking whiskey back. I have another question for you. You know, I heard Joe Pontoliano on a show say

during his time on Sopranos, people would be like mad at him on the street Oh me too. Yeah, they get mad at you. Oh, yes. You're a fucking rat. Shut the fuck up You oh my god, that is 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 You read that definition 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? That's pretty good, is that Urban Dictionary? Yeah, Urban Dictionary. Just says cunt in parentheses Italian. Cunto. Wait, they're not even saying, oh, they're saying cunt, okay. Pukyak, it's my favorite.

That's great. Just say it, say it guys. Pukyakka. Pukyakka. Say it all together, one, two, three, three, two, one. Pukyakka. Pukyakka. Pukyakka, it's pukyakka. Pukyakka. No kaka. No, no, no. Pukakka.

On a good day. He finishes that, he's gonna show you. I love that word, it's such a good word. Robbie, I don't say that word enough at home. Pukyak. Yeah. The kids like that word. What's your favorite scene ever on the show that you do? Bukyak. Yeah. The kids like that word. What's your favorite scene ever on the show that you do?

Bukyak. That's your favorite? The bukyak scene. My favorite scene on the show ever. 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 Carmella and her heating him up ziti 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 minutia 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. And then my favorite episode was the one where they murder the, 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 awful 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 with her 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 out with that really powerful thin line song Oh, I love that song the kinks. That's one of my favorite songs. I remember being like, oh my god, this is fucking

Yes, I forgot that our nice. They always close on a amazing. on an amazing song. Yes, and 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? Score.

No score. Yeah. We have no score on the show. So I have that nine second clip for you here, but. Uh oh. Which is this one, Morpukya? Regularness of Life. Oh, you got this one Tony it's like just a fucking regularness of life is too fucking hard for me or something I don't I don't know

that's heroin right there for you that's but that's the heroin thing that's a thing like if you're a junkie like the reg because all of a sudden everything's heightened when you're high on that shit right and the regularness of lifeness of life, you can't even tie your shoe, you're like, what the fuck am I gonna tie my shoe for man, I can hide first. 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, you know, this mob side and family side though too, just to show his regular life, to show him at a barbecue, you know. I think that was why the show appealed to so many people. I always said that it had something for everyone.

People who love the mob genre, people who love a family show, people who love a critically acclaimed, 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 mold sort of.

My dad couldn't get with Sons of Anarchy. My dad couldn't get with Breaking Bad, maybe because he's Italian, but some, 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, you know, it wasn't, and analyze this came out at the same time,

but it wasn't important. Cause this show. I feel like Sopranos might've killed the mob genre though cause it was so good that nothing could follow it. I think so. I think the combination of the humor and the realness of it, cause it really, what has been after that?

Think about it. Can you think of a great mob movie after that? The Irishman, but that's a different mob. Different. Different, yeah. There's good gangster stuff, like I thought Imbruge was an awesome movie. There's great gangster stuff,

but there's no great real mob stuff. Yeah, I'm trying to think. The mob was over at that point anyhow, I think in the world. The mob looks very different these days. We should bring a buddy. They're not even Italian. Right.

They're fucking Swiss and German. Ugh. 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. Italian? He's from Brooklyn. He's on the lamb. He fucking better be. That'd be a while that motherfucker. Yeah, he's on the lamb He fucking better be That'd be a good mob show Fauci on the lamb running Just hoarding all this gonna be quiet now because I know you guys are on YouTube. I don't want to fuck up your station Well, we got our FK and jr. Next so I would like to talk to him

You know we're gonna have to do some voice yeah, we're gonna have to Kanye his voice Do you really? No, I'm just kidding. I would like to talk to him. Yeah. Yeah, voice. You know. We're gonna have to do some voice adaptation. We're gonna have to Kanye his voice. Oh my god. Auto-tune, not the other stuff. Right, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna play 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. Like to see you do some stuff. Listen, I'm still acting every day. I'm 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. Yeah. Oh yeah, me neither. Can you tell us what this ultrafree.co is? Oh. Oh yes.

Oh look, look, look. Speaking of Sopranos and tits, Freedom and RFK and all things, you know, Liberty. Please, you had us at tits. Here we go, hold on a minute. Yeah, ultra free. So yes, when I started the OnlyFans page, it was my sort of answer to,

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, fucking bathing suits and put them on Instagram or done any of that stuff. And I was gonna start a podcast on OnlyFans,

that's why we started the OnlyFans page. We were gonna 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 went crazy so we never did the podcast. We just kept the OnlyFans page, me and bikinis, which I've never fucking done. And now maybe more. Yes, exactly. I mean, you know what?

Mark and 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, 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 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, you know, I'm brainwash you guys. And it's our like apocalypse protection gear. I like it. It's fun. It's just fun. I got a question if you're wrapping up. You're 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. 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. What? We did a movie called Maid, speaking of the mafia. I love Maid. That was a good flick, Vince Vaughn. So, yeah. And the, what's that big black guy? Faison.

Oh, Faison, the, what's that big black guy? Faison. Oh, Faison. Yes, Faison. But yeah, 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 have 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? No diddle in over here. The P Diddy. Damn.

I don't know enough about it, but I'm starting to follow what's going on. You were too old for him. Yeah, exactly. How about any other interesting partying in New York City at that interesting time? Any Limelight? 2000 to 2008. Oh, I used How about any other interesting parting in New York City at that interesting time, like 2000 to 2008? Oh, I used to hang out at the Limelight.
