And I'm I'm 47 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: gonna need to rethink life as I know it, because 48 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: what does this mean? And it was also a powerful 49 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: moment for me as an artist because I decided that 50 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: I wanted that for myself. And I'm grateful that I 51 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: had a parent who is an artist because you know, 52 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: I never got that pressure to go be a banker 53 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: like a lot of us had, and it's been wonderful 54 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: to have that support as I've gone on to be 55 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: an entertainer myself. 56 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 4: So that was the moment that solidified it for you. 57 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really incredible. I just had like tears 58 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: streaming down my face, like wide eyed, you know, shocked 59 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: you see in movies of somebody just getting absolutely shocked. 60 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: But you knew he was a musician. You just didn't 61 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 4: know he was a famous musician. Yeah. 62 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: I didn't realize how famous he was. You know, when 63 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: I was little, I'd see him on TV and stuff, 64 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: but it was more like, you know, how did my 65 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: dad get inside the TV? Like I remember thinking, how 66 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: do you get in there? I didn't really understand it, 67 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: but I was aware that he was away a lot 68 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: because he was famous. I always equated it to because 69 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: he was famous, that's why he That's what took him 70 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: away from me so often. And I think that put 71 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: me on an interesting path of like chasing fame myself, 72 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: because you know, little children don't understand what's happening. They 73 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: see things in black and white, and so they make 74 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: decisions to survive that they carry into adulthood. And we're 75 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: all walking around with these decisions we made as children 76 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: trying to survive. And the decision I made was, well, 77 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: I have to become famous too, because that's where my 78 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: dad is, and so if I'm famous, then he won't 79 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: have to leave me again. I think it put me 80 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: on this path of like chasing fame for a long time. 81 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: If that makes sense. 82 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 4: It definitely makes a lot of sense. Did you see 83 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 4: him as the prankster that we all saw him through 84 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 4: his life? 85 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, my dad is the most hilarious person I know, and. 86 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: He has such a jovial spirit that's just a joy. 87 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: To be around he is. He's a big kid, you know, 88 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: and we all are, and I think he sets that 89 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: example for people. And I think that's why he's so adored, 90 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: is because everybody feels like he's their best friend and 91 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: he's always had that magic. And I just adore his 92 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: sense of humor. We send each other jokes all the time. 93 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: That's kind of our thing, you know, because sometimes you 94 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: don't really know how to speak to each when your 95 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: father and daughter and blife gets tricky. And we always 96 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: have our jokes that we send each other, and that's 97 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: kind of our unspoken language that in the music. 98 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: Did you ever hear any of his air checks when 99 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 4: he used to be on w XRK in New York 100 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 4: ninety two three with a lot of those amazing radio shows. 101 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. 102 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 4: Oh you have to find him or ask him about him. 103 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 4: I'm sure they're out there somewhere. They were unbelievable. I mean, 104 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 4: they were revered in the industry because A, it was 105 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 4: your dad and he was so cool. But B most importantly, 106 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 4: they were just so darn funny and entertaining. 107 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Oh that's great.

Remember me as 149 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 4: a human, tell me about the genesis of it. That 150 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 4: three day nursing home interview with your with your grandparents. 151 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: Yes, my grandmother, my grandmother Wanda, Yeah, she was ninety seven. 152 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: My grandfather Dale had already died of Alzheimer's about seven 153 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: years earlier, and I journeyed to Illinois and sat with 154 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: her for what would be our final conversations, and I 155 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: filmed it, so I have this beautiful footage that I'm 156 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: going to turn into a documentary. And I asked her 157 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: about her life, and that is the interview that I 158 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: have woven into the book. And not only that, but 159 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: I do share a lot about what the experience at 160 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: the nursing home was like, because it's an intense place 161 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: to witness our aging population, and it's it's it's it's 162 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: a part of society that people don't want to look at, 163 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: and we don't want to look at our own mortality. 164 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: Of course who does. But we're all going to be there. 165 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: And just because we age doesn't mean we lose our humanity. 166 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: We actually become more human. Uh. And what I witnessed 167 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: there really shaped my life and what I care about now. 168 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: I really stand for nurturing the aging population. I work 169 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: with a national organization called the National Association of Long 170 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: Term Care Volunteers.

It's very 173 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: easy for anybody to go online through this program and 174 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: get trained and go down to the nursing home in 175 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: your community and sit with someone for an hour, play cards, 176 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: play music, ask them about their life. We all need connection. 177 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: That's what makes us human and that's what my book 178 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: is about, and that's why It's such a crucial read 179 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: right now, as technology and social media are ripping away 180 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: our humanity and isolating us from each other. We need 181 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: this more than ever, that human connection. And that's that's 182 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: what I stand for. 183 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 4: When I was thinking of about you and that three 184 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 4: day nursing home interview, I personally couldn't help flashing back 185 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 4: on the unbelievable song by John Prime called Hello in 186 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 4: There when I was thinking of your experience. Are you 187 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 4: familiar with that one? 188 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: No, I'm not, but I'm writing it down and I'll listen. 189 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: Oh will you will have chills? Oh, my gosh, you 190 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 4: will have chills. So the documentary will take some time. 191 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 4: I'm thinking to pull all that together, right. 192 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. You know, that's a future thing. But 193 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: for now, I've written the feature film based on the 194 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: letters and the same characters, but fictionalized, and I plan 195 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: to move towards pre production with that in the coming year. 196 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 2: So that was always the goal. 197 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: When I got the letters at seventeen, I knew that 198 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: one day I wanted to turn them into a film. 199 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: I really didn't plan on writing a book that really 200 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: just developed because I had to get it out of 201 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: me somehow, and just felt very compelled to get it 202 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: down on paper, and the more I did that, it 203 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: shaped into this. But it's taken me fourteen years to 204 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: complete the book. It's been a real, real challenge, and 205 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: there were many times when I thought, I just don't 206 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: think I can do this. I just think this is 207 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: too hard. I just don't know how. So I'm very 208 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: proud to be holding it in my hands and talking 209 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: to you. 210 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: Now. 211 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 4: How has your dad received the book? 212 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: Oh, he's so blown away. He's just as proud of 213 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: me as I am of him, and that means a lot. 214 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: He hasn't even read it yet, but you know, he's 215 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: just always tearing me on, and that is you know, 216 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: my whole family is this has been rough for my family, 217 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: This book my mom, especially because it's about her. It's 218 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: about her parents, and every family has things that have 219 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: happened that they'd rather not the entire world know about. 220 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's the same in your family. And my 221 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: mom has really given me the grace and the freedom 222 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: to write this my own way, and I really appreciate 223 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: it because I know it hasn't been easy for her. 224 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 4: Tell me what was your experience like working on Criminal Minds? 225 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 4: With the great Joe Montana. 226 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: Oh my god, not only working on it, but getting 227 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: to be directed by him because he directed my episode. 228 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: It was such a dream come true. I'd been such 229 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: a megafan of Joe's for so long. He's just such 230 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: a legend in the acting world. And he directed it, 231 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: and I, you know, my dad's in the same episode. 232 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: We didn't work together. I played the head cop of 233 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: the episode, and my dad was in a poker scene 234 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: with Joe and his army buddies. But Joe Montana is 235 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: such a fan family man that he really it meant 236 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: a lot to him to bring my dad and I 237 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: in for this episode. And he actually had me do 238 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: a really funny thing in the poker scene. It's all 239 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: these guys around a table and and somebody came up 240 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: to me on set and said, Hey, so Montana wants 241 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: you to like come in as a surprise and break 242 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: up the poker scene as the cop character and arrest 243 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: your dad and just like make up a couple minute 244 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: improv and just make something up and come in and 245 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: then just do it. And I was like, it's on CBS, 246 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: and so you're trained as an actor, like you don't 247 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: improv on CBS, like it is all scripted. These shows 248 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: are a lot of money. You don't mess your lines up. 249 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: You know, you get in there and you stick to 250 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: the script. So it was so strange to be told 251 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: to make up my own improv. And at first I 252 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: went into total panic and they were like, yeah, you 253 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: have like twenty minutes, and I was like, oh my god. 254 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: So I just I collected myself and I thought, you 255 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: know what, if you can do it two and a 256 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: half hour Shakespeare play, you can do this, Just do it. 257 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: And so I just came up with this improv and 258 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: I walked onto that set. I didn't know where the 259 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: cameras were. I'd never been on the set, and I 260 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: walked in and I just did my thing. And you 261 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: can see it on YouTube, and they put it on 262 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: the special features of that season on the DVD. It's 263 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: very funny. I walk in there and I tear them 264 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: all up and I arrest my dad. 265 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 4: That's great, And tell me about your experience on Curb 266 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 4: Your Enthusiasm. 267 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: That was a dream come true as well, because Curb 268 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: had always been my favorite show, and it's shot in 269 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: this way where it's like handheld, so you feel like 270 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: You're really there, and I felt like I had just 271 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: gone through the screen and I was face to face 272 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: with Larry and it was so surreal. 273 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: It's really trippy. 274 00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 3: I love it. 275 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, I understand you're developing a podcast called Broad's in 276 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 4: a Bathtub. Tell me about that. 277 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: That was an idea, but I've moved on to a 278 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: new idea. So I knew. I had the Lucy and 279 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 1: Annabel Show for two years. We did over sixty episodes, 280 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: and that is a really important podcast for anybody who's grieving, 281 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: which we're all grieving something in our lives. Annabel Jones 282 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: is the daughter of Davy Jones from The Monkeys, and 283 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: her and I started this podcast to talk about we 284 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,959 Speaker 1: both had big record deals. We had both grown up 285 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: in show business with these fathers. We had a lot 286 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: that we felt we wanted to share with other young musicians. 287 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: And three weeks into the podcast, Annabel's husband was killed 288 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: in a car accident at thirty four years old, and 289 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: his best friend as well. They were both killed, and 290 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: so we decided to carry on with the podcast in 291 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: real time and work through Annabelle's process of losing her 292 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: husband in her thirties, and it became this extraordinary deep 293 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: dive into grief and loss and rebuilding, and it took 294 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: off and apparently people really need to talk about this stuff, 295 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: so I highly recommend it for anybody. It's on wherever 296 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: you listen to your podcasts, The Lucy and Annabel Show. 297 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: Thanks for doing the amazing work that you're doing and 298 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 4: the amazing stories that you're bringing forward.
