Speaker 1: Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?
Speaker 1: I'm the only one here. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2: I'm strong and geddy.
Speaker 1: One more thing. Okay, you are both young and a woman,
Speaker 1: and I feel like Taxi Drivers more of a man's movie.
Speaker 1: Have you seen Taxi Driver?
Speaker 2: I have seen Taxi Driver.
Speaker 1: Oh and it's very old. It's from the early seventies.
Speaker 1: But de Niro is creepy delicious in that movie.
Speaker 2: It's a disturbing movie, no doubt. What do you think
Speaker 2: of it?
Speaker 3: Slimy vibe from him in that movie, the whole movie's
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it in years, but I just remember
Speaker 3: getting a real ick vibe.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well what child prostitution? Yeah, serial killers? He said,
Speaker 1: what's what's the you? Yeah, it's an inck movie. Speaking
Speaker 1: of movies, before we get back to Robert de Niro,
Speaker 1: I watched with my eighth grader No Country for Old
Speaker 1: Men over the weekend because I've been telling them is
Speaker 1: might be my all time favorite movie. It's certainly in
Speaker 1: the top handful of favorite all time movies. And he
Speaker 1: hadn't seen it, and it's pretty danged violent. He's fourteen
Speaker 1: and a half. I don't know, but I did the
Speaker 1: research on it, what people thought, but parents thought, We
Speaker 1: watch it and dang it, that's a good movie. Just
Speaker 1: every scene is like perfect. I still don't know what
Speaker 1: the point of it is, though, I feel I feel
Speaker 1: like I hada nail that down at some point. If
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call him that my favorite movie, do you
Speaker 1: know what the point of it is? Yeah?
Speaker 2: The world changes so much you no longer feel part
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: That's it. I can attest to that, by the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is a feeling I'm familiar with. Anyway,
Speaker 1: back to Robert de Niro, he for some reason, at
Speaker 1: age one hundred and six, with his nineteen year old
Speaker 1: wife and fourteen kids. He lives there in New York,
Speaker 1: and he decided to show up in front of the
Speaker 1: courthouse today where the Trump final arguments are going on,
Speaker 1: and start talking to people, press or whatever. I mean.
Speaker 1: If Robert de Naro shows up on a street corner,
Speaker 1: you're gonna draw a crowd. He's very, very famous. Man.
Speaker 1: It was a nut. Anyway, we played the edited version
Speaker 1: on the air. I haven't heard the unbleeped version because
Speaker 1: I guess there's a lot of cussing, not from him,
Speaker 1: but other Trump supporters who are there arguing with him,
Speaker 1: let's let's listen to it a little bit.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is really even these people over here,
Speaker 4: it's kind of crazy. It's really crazy. And this this
Speaker 4: thing Donald Trump has created this.
Speaker 1: He should be telling them not to do this, but
Speaker 1: he's just.
Speaker 4: He wants to so total he wants he wants to
Speaker 4: sew total chaos, which he's succeeding in some areas ten
Speaker 4: places to do.
Speaker 1: What offends me about the whole thing is him thinking
Speaker 1: that he should have a role in this because he's
Speaker 1: a famous actor.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there wasn't a lot to like in that clip.
Speaker 3: The only thing I really appreciated was the guy losing
Speaker 3: his mind in the background.
Speaker 1: You that was my favorite part. I guess because we
Speaker 1: elevate these people so much that athletes and singers and
Speaker 1: actors think that they have more wisdom. But like you're
Speaker 1: always pointing out, Okay, if I'm just going to pick
Speaker 1: a random person to have an opinion on this, let's
Speaker 1: go get the guy down there that runs the bodega
Speaker 1: that sells people newspapers and chips all day long. Ask
Speaker 1: him what he thinks. His opinion is every bit is
Speaker 1: valid and in many ways, as Ricky Gervaise would point out,
Speaker 1: more valid, because they have more of a normal life.
Speaker 2: Well, sure, the whole incestuous thing in Hollywood, where you're
Speaker 2: aired and lauded and you repeat all of the opinions
Speaker 2: of everyone around you to their approval and cheers, and
Speaker 2: then you start to think, you know what, I am
Speaker 2: a great man, I'm a great thinker. I'm always right.
Speaker 2: People always agree with me, not realizing, Yeah, you live
Speaker 2: and work in a tiny little club of crazy nuts.
Speaker 1: Let's hear the other de Niro clip.
Speaker 4: I love the city. I love this city. I don't
Speaker 4: want to destroy it. Donald Trump wants to destroy not
Speaker 4: only the city but the country, and eventually he could
Speaker 4: destroy the world. But we vowed we would not allow
Speaker 4: terrorists do. I owe the city a lot. And that's
Speaker 4: why it's so weird that Donald Trump is just across
Speaker 4: the street because he doesn't belong in my city. I
Speaker 4: don't know where he belongs, but he surely doesn't belong here.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's coming off as a half wit.
Speaker 3: Doesn't he belong at home changing a diaper because he
Speaker 3: has a one month old.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's weirder that Donald Trump's over there
Speaker 1: in a courtroom than that Robert de Niro is standing
Speaker 1: over here talking about politics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was kind of required to be there. Why
Speaker 2: are you here?
Speaker 1: He should have shown up in full taxi driver look, mohawk,
Speaker 1: army jacket, sunglasses, That's what he should have done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure that jacket fits him anymore.
Speaker 1: No, I'm sure it doesn't. Ah, God dang it.
Speaker 2: What an odd and surreal scene that is, yeh in
Speaker 2: a weird way, and it kind of fits in with
Speaker 2: where we are just.
Speaker 1: Looking to celebrities for our politicians and our commentators.
Speaker 2: And then on the other side, people shrieking obscenities at
Speaker 2: him on the street in Alias. What's going on on there?
Speaker 3: What? Also, just for a visual, he walked up to
Speaker 3: this whatever you want to call it, wearing a mask,
Speaker 3: a COVID mask outside.
Speaker 1: Okay, well he is ancient, but I ain't a lot
Speaker 1: of COVID around. It's freaking out side, he's outside, decent, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then that decent point Joe makes about who are
Speaker 1: you weird? Yelling f you at Robert de Niro. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're not exactly covering yourself in.
Speaker 2: Glory or like changing anybody's mind, or moving the ball
Speaker 2: down the field, or you just feel like you need
Speaker 2: to scream obscenities at him because he's essentially screaming obscenities
Speaker 2: at what you like.
Speaker 1: Of course, I can picture some host on MSNBC, maybe
Speaker 1: Joy Read or something like that, playing a clip of
Speaker 1: de Niro today and saying, it's times like these when
Speaker 1: we need to hear from the artists. You know that
Speaker 1: sort of thing.
Speaker 3: That just gave me like a physical reaction.
Speaker 1: I know I almost yacked when I said it. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: I know that those people scream obscenities weren't doing anything,
Speaker 3: but I appreciated them being there.
Speaker 1: I guess if nothing else, you interrupt him getting to
Speaker 1: spew his whatever he's saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I've kind of admit there would be
Speaker 2: a bit of a perverse bit of amusement in getting
Speaker 2: into a shouting match with Robert de Niro. This video
Speaker 2: is going viral, Old Coat, Yeah, video is viral. You
Speaker 2: show your friends hear that.
Speaker 1: That was me.
Speaker 2: I heard them chanting let's go Brandon in the background there.
Speaker 1: Look, I watched it. I watched the Irishman. You couldn't
Speaker 1: lift your leg up high enough to kick that guy.
Speaker 1: It was pretty obvious you were like an eighty year old.
Speaker 1: All right, horrible movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder what ray Liota would have thought of
Speaker 2: the Trump trial.
Speaker 1: God rest his soulf right exactly. That's what I would
Speaker 1: say if I was on the corner. Hey, this is
Speaker 1: really great, Robert de Narrow, any chance we can get
Speaker 1: Joe Peshi in here and h ray Liota's passed and
Speaker 1: the other people and find out what they think of
Speaker 1: the trial, because it's all so important that we hear
Speaker 1: what you actors think of this.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's it.
