Speaker 3: Huh.

25
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: So pull up a chair, grab a bite to eat,

26
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: because we're having lunch with John Stamos.

27
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: I'm Bruce Bosi and this is my podcast Table for two.

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: So if you've pulled up a chair today, we're sitting

29
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: at the Tower Bar. I have two surprises for John today,

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: just so you know. One based on your book, okay,

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: and one based on our experience together. And when we

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: left the West dollar Wood Palm, all the pictures were

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: taken down and gave them to.

34
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: But by the way, one of the great honors to

35
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: have my picture up in the poll. And I used

36
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: to just take people in there actually, you know, and

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: they knew what seat my picture was under, so they'd

38
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: always set me there and I'd be like, oh, well,

39
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: look at this is.

40
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 4: The picture be up there.

41
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: So when we left we gave them out. I framed

42
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: them as art and you said, you hold on to mine.

43
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: And what I did was when we opened the Beverley

44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: there was very few. We didn't put them back up right,

45
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: so we put like fair Foscet and the majors up.

46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: They had one out, Andy Cohen had.

47
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: Cohen and Frank Sinatra with. We put Valerie Harper with

48
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: Sammy Davis Junior. We put I don't know that many,

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: don no, there was like only five I got was yours.

50
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: I know, you guys can't see it if you're pulling

51
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: up a chair, but it's framed.

52
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: It's cut from like you actually see the wall that

53
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 3: it was on.

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: That's not Scott Bail because.

55
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 3: No it's not. This is free.

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you. I thought it got lost.

57
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: And now I kept it was hung in my house.

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to see it. And he's taking art

59
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: off my wall.

60
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: So I opened the book. You asked me why why now?

61
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: And if you know Jamie the Curtis, you know she's

62
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: a good friend. She alway says, if not now when,

63
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: which always makes me think about getting doing things that

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: you got just that you want to do, right.

65
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: I never thought about writing a book. I wasn't. It

66
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 4: was the last thing on my mind.

67
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: I never thought I could could do you ever think

68
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: about writing a book?

69
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: It's like, it's funny you should say that. That was like

70
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: someone approached like, would you be interested? I mean, I

71
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: don't know how to do that. I couldn't.

72
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: And I think your life is just as interesting as

73
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: as mine, if not more. But you for sure have

74
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: a book in you. Everybody does, but you have a

75
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: good one. But it was the It was the.

76
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: Hardest thing I've ever done, pretty much.

77
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: But as you as you can see in the book,

78
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: like I I never put obstacles up in front of

79
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: things that I wanted to get done. I didn't want

80
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: to do this until I did it, but I just

81
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: did it. I never thought it was at I can't,

82
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, So I just started and at first I

83
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: kept saying no, and then you know, it was a dad.

84
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: And then Bob died and they saw an obituary that

85
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: I wrote in the La Times about Bob, and I

86
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: felt that it was a good writing, and I don't

87
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, it was so you know, broken up it was.

88
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't even remember writing it, but apparently it was

89
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: good and.

90
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: And the and the most beautiful moth. I'll talk about

91
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: Bob a lot, probably today, and I'll probably cry at

92
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 4: least twice.

93
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: But his his Uh Kelly, his widow, and I hate

94
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: say that. Uh called me the other day crying and

95
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: she said, you did such justice to Bob. And the

96
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: people that don't know Bob and they read this book.

97
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: It's a great representation of who he was because it

98
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: was a complicated man, but he was beautiful.

99
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

100
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: So I so I said, okay, I'll do that, And

101
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: so I thought, I'm going to start with the two

102
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: hardest chapters. The first chapter is when I was on

103
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: my way to meet Bob at the Palm that faithful night,

104
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: when I got a DUI easily the lowest point of

105
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: my life ever, and I could have killed somebody.

106
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: Bruce, Yeah, that's why you were. It's really vivid in

107
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: that chapter.

108
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: And I was, I was, I was circling that that area,

109
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: I must have passed. I just kept going in circles

110
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: and said, there's the same place again, the same part. Anyway,

111
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: I was going to meet Bob, so and my five

112
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: Stages of grief then was I mean, I got you know,

113
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: it's d u. I I ended up hospital because I

114
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: was so fucked up, and I when I straightened up

115
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: and they got me out of there, I went home

116
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: and drank another bottle of wine. So my five Stages

117
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: of Grief with more booze, sex, everything bad. Right then

118
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: I tackled the last chapter, so I didn't know if

119
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: it was gonna be the last chapter.

120
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: I didn't know.

121
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: Where about the day I found out about Bob when

122
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: he died, and pretty much in detail in that Five

123
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: Stages of Grief. Then wore health, sobriety, therapy, my family,

124
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: my wife, yeah, med station.

125
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

126
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: So then I had to feel like, okay, how did

127
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: I get from me to zeke? And it was And

128
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: then the other big part was my mom's letters the

129
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: notes for my mother. I knew I had them, so

130
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: but I gathered them all up from my sister and

131
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: my sister's in my attic and I just kind of

132
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: laid him out and said, Okay, here's a road.

133
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 4: Here's a road.

134
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: Is that interesting?

135
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 4: I bet you could do it. You just sit down.

136
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: And I asked so many friends that were writing books,

137
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: how do you do it?

138
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: Out of time?

139
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: At first I was doing it. I do like a

140
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: vomit chapter. And at first I was like, I'm gonna

141
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: write a hero story.

142
00:05:59,480 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 4: How great.

143
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: I I was like, nah, man, this is I have

144
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: to write a human story. And then I got into it,

145
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: maybe the last four or five months of doing it,

146
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: especially when I knew that deadline was coming up. My

147
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: friend saying, you're pretty relaxed for having a deadline. I'm

148
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: like yeah, and I just started to stand up on it.

149
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: But there's a certain I mean, your ability to write.

150
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,599

Speaker 2: I mean I was watching Blackie Jackie Templeton, I was

166
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,400

Speaker 4: I didn't know about the pup I was.

177
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: So I hope that comes across how naive I was

178
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: through all most and I think my naivete helped me

179
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: in the long run. But so I was when I

180
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: was audition for General Hospitals. It was for part A

181
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: street punk Black Parish. Yeah, street, and I was like,

182
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,040

187
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: what's New York to me? And and I knew that.

188
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: So this other guy was auditioning, Brian Robbins, who was

189
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: from New York ends up now being the head of Paramount, right,

190
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: but he was very New York. He's like yo, I'm like,

191
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: oh shit, I got to and I love travolt To

192
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: then and I still do it. And then the first

193
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: set I ever stepped foot on was the Seth Greece

00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: at my father. His friend was a coach there, but

195
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,880

00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,160

00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm working on my walk up and down

212
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,559

00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bars and everybody's outside and I'm

215
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: walking was like, well, there's a lot of men around.

259
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: I kind of bombed me. I thought I tanked the audition.

260
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: I walked out the bright sun. I was like, go ahead, Hollywood,

261
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,319

262
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: And you at the jump.

263
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: You know what I found so interesting about And I'm

264
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: gonna li liken this to your upbringing with your mom

265
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: and your dad.

266
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: You obviously were super just it's a love story. It's

267
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: a love story.

268
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: Met my mom and it's palm.

269
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: I think, so yep, yep, yep.

270
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: And I also think that the fact that your dad

271
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: had you work in the kitchen, that it teaches you something.

272
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I think everyone should work in hospitality.

273
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: So like here you are on the set of g

274
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: H and you, you know, miss Monty, Gloria Monty. You

275
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: start talking when you start talking about the people, at

276
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: the level of respect you have like you were a

277
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: young guy, and gratitude you have for being in that room. Yes,

278
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,000

279
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: your working I'm like working in the kitchen.

280
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 4: Old were you when you started?

281
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: I think my first summer job with them was sixteen seventeen.

282
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: My dad treated the bus boys with the same as

283
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: he treated his best customer.

284
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: When you write that line, that resonated so with me.

285
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's the one thing that if you are

286
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: in hospitality, you do it right.

287
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 4: That's yeah.

288
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: I've seen you at your place talking to the waiters

289
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: and the bus boys.

290
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you do the same.

291
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you do the same, but we don't

00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: do it out of oh it's our job now, Like

295
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: Full by full attention, right, and you could go exactly

296
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: so those two years, you know, and then I mean, look,

297
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: you talked very candidly about like kind of what a

298
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: douche Rick Springfield was at the time, who was like

299
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: hitting it up.

300
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: He didn't clearly work.

301
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: Right right, right, you know, hospitality is this like here

302
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: you were a young buck, like being like, you know, impressed, and.

303
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I've I felt I didn't want to

304
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: put anybody down in the book because that's just not

305
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: my thing, and you know I could have, but I

306
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: think with him, like everything in this book. Here's Here's

307
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: the other thing I want to say is like as

308
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: I started writing it, that's when I discovered my story,

309
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: Like I didn't know what my story was, and writing

310
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: it down and then oh wow, and looking back at

311
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: things like like for instance, at the General Hospital, when

312
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, the black storylines were a lot less than

313
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: the than the white people's storylines. And I remember these

314
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: great actors, Todd Phillips's name was, and you know they're

315
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: always complaining.

316
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 4: I'm like, what do you guys complaining about? We're on TV.

317
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 4: You don't get it standads, you know.

318
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: And then Sammy Days came in and they had a

319
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: big story. Then then when he left it wasn't And

320
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: I believe I said, double chi. I know I wrote

321
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: it though, that they would have to get their hair

322
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: and makeup somewhere else, and so I but I didn't

323
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: I didn't understand. I knew there was something wrong. I

324
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: know it wasn't right, but I didn't. So looking back,

325
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: I go, oh, I don't know that was there. And

326
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: there was a lot of those moments in the book.

327
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 4: That I discovered. But we were talking.

328
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: About so when you are when you're when you sit

329
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 2: down to write, you like.

330
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: Literally, do you not know what you're about to write?

331
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: Are you're like okay?

332
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 2: Or do you wake up in the the night going

333
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: wait a minute, you are you taking notes saying like wait,

334
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: I remember something?

335
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 3: Because how do you?

336
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: I couldn't remember. I feel like I can't remember my life?

337
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: But did you a blur? But if you sat down

338
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: and you remember, here's the deal. My mom and then

339
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: I subsequently me, I took so she had I had

340
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: all boxes and my mom kept everything, every contract, every calendar,

341
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: every journal that I had, every note, every every picture,

342
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: every Tiger magazine it was. And so I was like

343
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: I have to write, you know. I remember saying like, Mom,

344
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: let's get rid of the shock.

345
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: Why do you have it?

346
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: No?

347
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: Right? And so that helped a lot. I mean, I'll

348
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: have a memory about something like General Hospital, for instance.

349
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: I was like I used to always say, all I

350
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: auditioned on a Tuesday and then I got a call

351
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: back on Wednesday, and I worked on Thursday and it

352
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: aired two weeks there.

353
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: I went to the calendar, that's the exact gates.

354
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: Wow.

355
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: So there was a lot of.

356
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: That there was a lot of I think I did

357
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: some journaling, but mostly I wrote stuff on my calendars.

358
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: And not only that, I wrote, like, you know, I

359
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: would draw pictures of if I was happy or sad,

360
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: how my eyes were.

361
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: I thing.

362
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: You know, these are priceless things for you to have,

363
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: and they also for you to pass on.

364
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: To your son, And that's part of the writing a

365
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: book too for him. But I know those questions you're asking,

366
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: because I asked the same thing to my friends, like

367
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: how do you even? But the memories came back, and

368
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: like I said, I had the and I went and

369
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: talked to a lot of people, and people remembered stuff.

370
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: But you'd be surprised at what, oh the people that

371
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: you were working with on the show and things like that. Yeah,

372
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: you start to like sort of reminisce and you bring

373
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: it back and you go, oh, yeah.

374
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean one of the funny one of the things

375
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: about that came to me too then was like did

376
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: I had this when I went from And you probably

377
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: had this too.

378
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: I don't know what you were like as a kid,

379
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 4: probably handsome.

380
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: I was not, And so that transition from being a

381
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: caterpillar to a butterfly was really I wanted to really

382
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: focus on that.

383
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: You did I didn't.

384
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: I found that like really like you, I mean you

385
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: you depict yourself so sort of like like not as

386
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: handsome as you are now and kind of nerdy but

387
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: kind of not and you know, wanting the girls and

388
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: then like the.

389
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: Boy, you know what I mean.

390
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 4: And then when it happens, it was such a trick.

391
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: But I had a bully before it was even great bullying, Right,

392
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: this guy gave me a black guy and we had

393
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: no words, right, and I did that happen?

394
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 4: No, you probably bullied you.

395
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: I was bullied you. Yeah, for gay. They could read gay,

396
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: kids could read gay.

397
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: I'm gay and there was no no.

398
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: I learned how to hide.

399
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that that when you got started lifting weights.

400
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no much later that was all Vanni. That

401
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: was to get the guy too.

402
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 4: The so this guy popped.

403
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: So it was one of the first times because I

404
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: just wanted to be liked and I wanted who doesn't

405
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: I thank god there's no social media, I know.

406
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 4: Would you just want to be.

407
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: Liked and you wanted people to think your cool and

408
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: nice everything, and they didn't. As far as I was

409
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: could feel, I was goofy and I did magic and puppets.

410
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: And I love you. You would have been, you know,

411
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: into puppets. That would have been your career.

412
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have, all right, I still might, I mean,

413
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, And so I was. So it was that.

414
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 4: And there was a girl who the hottest girl. She

415
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 4: went to a Catholic school.

416
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: And I heard when from one of the guys in

417
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: my in the marching band that she wanted to go.

418
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: Out with me.

419
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 4: She thought I was cute Mark, but said, don't tell anybody.

420
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: I told everybody, and I was at this block party,

421
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: and of course I was at the door of your

422
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: house party.

423
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 4: And then at the end of the jocks.

424
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: So the boyfriend of this girl who wanted to go out,

425
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: so I tell everybody, like a telephonic game of telephone

426
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: went from the house house house.

427
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 3: It's like you know in the movie Grease was knocked up.

428
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah I was, and then he came in and tried

429
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: to knock me out. I wasn't even pants. I was

430
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: in sitting in a car and sucker punch. I wanted

431
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: to dedicate the book to this guy because I don't

432
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: know if we'd be here right, I don't.

433
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: Know if you said that I wanted to thank you, man.

434
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to to every every plot, everything, every.

435
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 4: Goal I reached, like TV beach boys.

436
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: I thought of him, I really yeah, do you know

437
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: anything about him?

438
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: No, he is. I had to change his name. But

439
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll read this book, because I'm

440
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: not sure if you could read.

441
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: But I don't know.

442
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,239
Speaker 1: I think he's around, you know, But I would, And

443
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: then I talk about like I would go back. A

444
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: lot has happened, water on the bridge, four years ago,

445
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: whatever longer, But I would, you know, like a phantom

446
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: limb if you lose it. I'm always thinking I'd like

447
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: to go to him and say, hey, thank you. I mean,

448
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: you really pushed me to be who I am, and

449
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: I always you know, maybe it was not the most positive,

450
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: but I thought about you and I wanted to, you know,

451
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to really make it just to show you and.

Speaker 4: So thank you.

453
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,359

00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: And you say you just love going to work. I

477
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: love it.

478
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, they had that.

479
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: They're like, you have to go home, mom, there was

480
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: a job your mom called time to go home. I

481
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: would stay and watch Jny Garrett was a was a

482
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: big flea.

483
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: Yeah he's in Amsterdam. But I got to write.

484
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: I sent a book to him and I wrote, you

485
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: know how much he influenced me.

486
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: But and then you know, these people don't realize them.

487
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 4: We're watching them, right.

488
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: I think he knew but he was so good man,

489
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: and I was like, why is he so good? And

490
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: he would take these pauses and for me, I thought

491
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: I had to fill up every space like this guy.

492
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: And he didn't lose any energy, but he would take

493
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: a beat and then come back. You're so powerful him

494
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: his eyes. He was so intense and but always kind

495
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: to me and always you know, I just have had

496
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: these mentors over the years, as I write about Jack Club, Bennet, Garry, Marshall, Rickles,

497
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: and I've always been sort of attracted to that older

498
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: gentleman vibe, you know, and and like I would just

499
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: want to learn everything I could from them.

500
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were like soaking it all in.

501
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: And I love that Sammy Davis, you wanted to play

502
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 2: drums and he did that.

503
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: They weren't Glory wasn't really taking requests, you know, And

504
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to play drums on the show, you know,

505
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: can I play music? But no, And Sammy Davis was

506
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: on him and my dad said, I said, Dad, it

507
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: was this guy's on today, Sammy Junior something Sammy, Yeah.

508
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 4: My dad really turned me onto the wrap pack.

509
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: You know.

510
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 4: We would argue who was better, Sinatra, Elements. I finally Kim.

511
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 1: We both listen, listened to El frank and then I said, oh,

512
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: you're right, Dawn Man. That Franklin school. What do you

513
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: think of else? He was old school right, so did so.

514
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: He said, we'll talk to talk to Sam and Davis

515
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: about playing drums. He's a drummer standing next to mister

516
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: Davis Junior. They won't let me play drums on it.

517
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: But we had this I remember again like it came back.

518
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 4: We had this.

519
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: Pretty cool conversation about music, and I think through that,

520
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: I think, at least verbally, he thought that I got it.

521
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 4: So he says, hold on, man.

522
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: What he goes off and here's he'll click, and he

523
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: goes to Gloria Monty and says.

524
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 4: Something and comes back and says, just do what I say, man, And.

525
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: Then I do impressions in case anyone out there tell

526
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: your husband.

527
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: He says, uh.

528
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 4: I said, what are you talking? And I remember him

529
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 4: being very firm.

530
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: I said, God, this memory comes so clear, just do

531
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: what I say, man. In the scene, he was gonna

532
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: ad libs. I introduced him because my character was and

533
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: he and he gets something and he talks a little

534
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: bit about the charot we were. It was a fundraiser,

535
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: but so there was a whole band set up.

536
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 4: He was gonna say for the water.

537
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 3: I remember.

538
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: He says, uh.

539
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: Black, you played drums right, and totally get up there.

540
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: What are we gonna play? A little jed And I

541
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: can see him look at me like, all right, this

542
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: guy's got he gets it. We're speaking the same language.

543
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: It's the sage. And then and then he gave me

544
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: this big hug at the end. And then I heard

545
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: later that it was playing on all the monitors and

546
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: and here at ABC and in New York, and.

547
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 4: Everybody kind of gathered around and they started.

548
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: Going closer to the monitors and they let us play

549
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: for a long time. And then and then I went

550
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: to see Samy at the Greek and he was dying.

551
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 4: He hadn't.

552
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: And after he comes into the backstage, there's gonna white

553
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: cape and again like I remember this ass loft there

554
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: and he goes over and as the bartender for two

555
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: orange crushes. He said, he said, the dope and the

556
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: SIGs I don't miss the booze, I miss we cheered.

557
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 2: And then yeah, you, I mean your whole You have

558
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 2: a very kindred spirit. When you talk about Sinatra, Elvis,

559
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 2: Sammy Davis, Don Rickles, Klugman, when you were in on

560
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: Broadway with James Earl Jones, you.

561
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 3: Really kind of I think, your whole life.

562
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: And I think maybe based on your relationship with your dad,

563
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 2: who so you had this like incredible relationship with and

564
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: respected so much older, so you respected that.

565
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 3: I also think it's.

566
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: Interesting reading your book and hearing it from your perspective,

567
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 2: so a guy's perspective, talking about guys, you know, really

568
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 2: being sexualized and being objectified and you know you and

569
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: just that experience, because I do think people forget that

570
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: that does happen.

571
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: To man, it happens, it happened to you.

572
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: I think it's like one I think it's seven out

573
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: of every twenty five girls by the time of every

574
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: teen have been sexually abused, and it's like one out

575
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: of every twenty five boys.

576
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 4: But that's not real because boys don't talk about it right.

577
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 4: It's numbers are fault.

578
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: So I just talk about it very briefly in the

579
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: book because I certainly don't want it to be about that.

580
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: But I also felt like a Charlottan if I didn't,

581
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: because I've done, you know, thirty five years I've been

582
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: advocating for the children, trying to get that right.

583
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 4: But so I felt like a phone.

584
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: If I it was just the right time to kind

585
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: you know, I just graze it. It's a page. But

586
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: and I don't know how it affected me. I don't,

587
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, again, looking back at all this stuff, I don't.

588
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

589
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: But it's always been that, you know, most of those

590
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: growing up, most of those sexual experiences have been with

591
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: women that were a little more sophisticated. And I'm not

592
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: a victim, no nobody, you know, I don't feel like

593
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: but the babysitter thing was like felt good maybe yeah.

594
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 2: Well that's what's sort of confusing, because when someone is

595
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 2: doing something that's like right, inappropriate, but yet it's gentle

596
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: or it feels good, you're confused no matter, yeah, you know,

597
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: And and the work that you've done is so I

598
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: think for so long now with kids. Yeah, so I

599
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 2: think I was really just beautiful and I think it

600
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: was it was that, like, why have I been so

601
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: interested in helping children?

602
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 4: Through all through a lot of different causes, but certainly

603
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 4: the abuse to them.

604
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons I didn't put it in

605
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: the I could put it in the book is it didn't

606
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: make sense, but maybe I could have. But we have

607
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: an eight hundred number, one eight hundred for a child.

608
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: And if you're any of this kind of thing, and

609
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: you know it doesn't it's not like some weirdo with

610
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: a trench coat on it takes in the back of

611
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: a van. It's a priest, it's a neighbor, it's an uncle.

612
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: And so that's why I want to talk about but

613
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: one eight hundred four a child. And the other thing is,

614
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, during the pandemic especially, it was on it.

615
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: It was on the rise. Because if it's stuck at home,

616
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: you don't have jobs, drinking, come fine.

617
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 4: And it's also this hot line is also good for parents.

618
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: If you're a little frustrated and you maybe want to

619
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: hurt your kid or you can't control your anger, call

620
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: that number and we talk you through that as well.

621
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: I think the book I talked about like that idea.

622
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: If you would have told me, I don't know how

623
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: I stump. It's a beautiful time, it's you know, and

624
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: they said, what do you want to call it? If

625
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: you were to tell me Mike Love was calling me

626
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: one day years ago. Mike Love was the lead singing

627
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: of the Beach Boys. It was the first concert I

628
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: went to and he was calling and calling. Someone was

629
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: over and I didn't answer it. I said, I told

630
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: me when I was a kid, my first concertant, Mike

631
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: Love was calling and I didn't pick it up.

632
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 4: That's where it came from.

633
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: But it also is you know, you could use it

634
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: as you know, if you would have told me that

635
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: one of my best friends would die, you know. Yeah,

636
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: So the point is that if you had have told

637
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: me these things and then you avoid them. Okay, So anyway,

638
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: there's probably jobs that I should have taken that I lost,

639
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: or or that was off.

640
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 4: To me, or just all the things.

641
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: And before writing this book, I would say, you know,

642
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: you'd say do you have any regrets? To say, yeah,

643
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: I reget this, forget that. Writing a book and realizing

644
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: that everything happened for a reason, like you said, and

645
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: one thing like to another, and the divorce and the

646
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: heart break taught me what I really wanted in love

647
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: and prepared me for when Caitlyn came around, and then

648
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't change a thing.

649
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 3: Yeah. I also think you wrote this book at a

650
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 3: perfect moment in your life, because I actually think your

651
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: fifties are a time of great reflection.

652
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: And like you said, you know, so the door was

653
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: shutting you and you got under it, and now you're

654
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: to me. You're going through the arch of the next

655
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: chapter of your life, which is just so rich with

656
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: love and family and like gratitude.

657
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: Exactly. This is a and you know you do have

658
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: of this, you know the body of war that you have.

659
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: You know, here you are a kid from Cypress, California

660
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: and you're like having this epic career.

661
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: Welcome back to table for two.

662
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: You most likely know John from his time on a

663
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: both wildly successful soap opera and a primetime sitcom, but

664
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: he's also acted on stage.

665
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: What was it like to make that transition.

666
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: Let's swing it over to you know you talk about

667
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: when you were on Broadway, and yes, you know, I

668
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 2: think that's one of the times we first met.

669
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 3: But you know you were DMC and Cabaret. You replaced

670
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 3: Matthew Broderick when he took he went to Way to

671
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 3: do a movie on how to succeed.

672
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 4: And where where did I get those balls? Like I

673
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: never I was in a theater, like I didn't grow up.

674
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: I try auditioned in the high school for the Wizard

675
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: of Oz to play the scarecrow.

676
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 4: I got about once, you know, while a while away

677
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: the stops up. If you do makeup? Can you make

678
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 4: up in the show? Don't sing? That's where I was

679
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 4: and so but Jack Clickman was always in my air.

680
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 5: Got to the theater, got it when full hous in it,

681
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, all right, man, I play this

682
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 5: idiot right years. Everybody thinks I'm like fucking dope, you know,

683
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 5: guitar wheeled and elm was looking it.

684
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: Gets to the theater. I never did it before. I

685
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 4: don't really I can't sing, doesn't matter. He was in Gypsy.

686
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 4: You know I can't sing.

687
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 1: I said, really, don't good, don't practice it. But so

688
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: I just I just went far it in my mind

689
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: then and I tried. Look, I was fearless, right you

690
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: remember those that do you have a fearlessness in your life,

691
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: and I, you know, I've been trying to get back

692
00:30:59,360 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: to that our sense.

693
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 4: But I would just think, like, well.

694
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: If I danced, if I practice dance and I want

695
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: to dance with If I sang enough, if I really

696
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: worked on something fifteen hours a day, I could do it.

697
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: And I did well because you have that thing that

698
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 2: you can't get, which is charisma and the light from

699
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: the audience, like people are drawn to you, so.

700
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 3: Like yeah, like a moth. Yeah, like a yeah, like

701
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: a just sounded like a moth to but aflap you.

702
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: And so I think when you when and clearly you

703
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 2: loved it, like it was something that you what was

704
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: the high like on being in front of a live

705
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: audience all of a sudden like that kind of like

706
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: eight shows a week you had you I know, you

707
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: had your rituals. I mean that's you've left. I think

708
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: it was a great time. As Clegman said to like,

709
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: get out of La yeah, right, get out of this zone.

710
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: Right, life was changing.

711
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: Stay in Trump Tower, that's where I was staying. I

712
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: forgot I was I don't think I put it in there.

713
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: But but Tony Bennett lived there too, and he was

714
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: like one floor above me.

715
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: Go to the show.

716
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: I can price see like, okay, great, I'm getting off.

717
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to rely. It took me, you know, you

718
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: know a lot you know this business. Like I say,

719
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: like some people get it right away. DiCaprio out of

720
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: the gate was a brilliant actor, right, Lawrence people like

721
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: me and there's the others. Takes twenty five thirty years,

722
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: and I think I'm in that category.

723
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 4: Like just to last maybe eight ten years ago. Stop

724
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 4: trying so hard, stay more.

725
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: I remember when Jason Bateman, we kind of grew up

726
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: together when he was really hitting it. So let's go

727
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: to lunch man, How did you what happened? Because I

728
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, and there was a long time still, I mean,

729
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm not you say, oh, you've had quite a career. Yeah,

730
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: I've been in the lower part of the middle. But

731
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: I think I'm still around. That's the maybe the impressident.

732
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 4: But I asked him how.

733
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: He said he just stopped trying so hard, just let

734
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: go relaxed. He literally could and get arrested. Then it

735
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: gets arrested them, right, and it just let's you know,

736
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: and it's.

737
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 4: A hard thing.

738
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: Should you trust because it's trusting itself.

739
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 4: We don't think we that.

740
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: Do you feel like that's part of the next chapter

741
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: of your life that you're you know now that you

747
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: holding onto everything so important. By the way, like there's

748
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: no one job anymore really that that makes or breaks you.

749
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: And the ones that you think are gonna that you

750
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,800

751
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 4: It isn't the little.

770
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: He is so smart and honest and open about his

771
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 2: life and journey. I would be remiss if I didn't

772
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 2: ask him about his dear friend and Full House Coach

773
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: star Bob Saggatt, who passed suddenly last year. How do

774
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 2: you memorialize someone who's had such an impact on your life.

775
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: You know, you've talked about Bob a couple of times,

776
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: and you've talked about him at length in The Brotherhood

777
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: and the Love and as you end this book.

778
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,879

782
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,560

783
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's missed by so many and he

784
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,600

00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 3: must honor him.

787
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: Somehow life is not as it's not as funny or

788
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: fun sure, but I mean you got to get over that.

789
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: But a little piece of view is gone, right, Yeah,

790
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: have you lost anybody.

791
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 3: Close to Yeah?

792
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just go But did you see the

793
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: movie Coco Disneyland.

794
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, what they.

795
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: Said, and they were so beautiful, which was a person dies, okay,

796
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: and then if you don't talk about him, you don't

797
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: tell stories about him, if you don't put their pictures up,

798
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: they die again for good up there. So that's one

799
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: of the things where I certainly try to talk about

800
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: him as much as I can, and I'm sure if

801
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: we're real quiet, we can hear him complaining that I

802
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: don't talk about him enough.

803
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 4: You knew Bob right very well. He was the greatest.

804
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: He was the most COMPLI you know, he was very

805
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: It was the biggest insecure egomaniac. You know, he had both.

806
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: But that night we were at Nobu. Sorry we didn't

807
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: go to the palm, but Bob and I did go

808
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: to the pump all the time, and again I was

809
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: going to meet him and he had a drawing right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

810
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: you know you want to know the truth about So

811
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: Bruce said, out of think we're moving and you said

812
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: come pick up the things, and you know why I didn't.

813
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: I was too drunk to drive that day. Really, I

814
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: thought I better not drive. That's interesting. It was like

815
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: it was a shitty you know boozy times all I

816
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: want that.

817
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 3: Really, I wondered why.

818
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 4: Remember I was probably one of the only people that came.

819
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, he just doesn't want it, but

820
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: that's okay, Well you know I want it and drew

821
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: my friends.

822
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 3: So I didn't take personal. It wasn't insulting. I was

823
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: great and we put it.

824
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about anyway I was. That's why

825
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: I never picked it. But I'm sober now getting it.

826
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: In the beginning of the book, I talk about going

827
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: to the poem and meet Bob and what the palm

828
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: meant to me. It was like, you know, like everybody

829
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: knew my name there there was a place that you guys.

830
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: But I say that because there's a lot of Snatra

831
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: stuff I talked about, and I talk about the characters

832
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: over there and the new place, the old there was

833
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: like you put me right next to Sinatra too, and

834
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: I remember seeing that.

835
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 3: Wow.

836
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: And then Andy Cohen and mate, you want or to

837
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: how did I make it over here? You just marked

838
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: that in your house staring at you like the mansion.

839
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 4: I follow you around no matter where you.

840
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 5: Said the book.

841
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,439

842
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,640

843
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,960

Speaker 3: And it's also a beautiful.

846

Speaker 2: Book to listen to because to hear you read it.

847
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 4: So that was so hard.

848
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: Mostly they said, well, I said, how long the four

849
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: or five sessions you'll get it? Give me like thirty

850
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: because like kids, I just kept going over and over

851
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: and I could change stuff. And I also I hope

852
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: that it's a book that if you're not a fan
