00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: My goodness, how did like the legendary dude of all dude,

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: like villain of all villain wind up with two daughters?

14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: Boys?

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 3: You know what they call it? What fighter's curse? You

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: ever heard of that?

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: Now?

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: Fighter still lone. A few other friends of mine they

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: have daughters. They get daughters. It's like nature's trying to

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 3: balance your testosterone by taking your genes and carrying them

21
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: on in a female version.

22
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: You know. Huh? Is that fighter's curse or just karma?

23
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: Fighter's curse? I think it may be karma. I mean,

24
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: I'm glad to have daughters because it's much easier. I

25
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: think it's more, more less complicated. I think between father's daughters.

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: Father's sons can be can get complex they try to

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: live up to something, especially if you're a you know,

28
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: an action action start in a movie. Then you know,

29
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: your son can can have a hard time maybe, But

30
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: for daughters, it's just kind of pure, pure, more pure love.

31
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: I think in the attraction, you know, are they daddy's girls?

32
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: I think so you're all girls daddy's girls? Do you

33
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: think everybody? Uh?

34
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: I would hope. So. I mean, look, if you have

35
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: a healthy relationship in your you can't exist our daddy's girls.

36
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: But I mean, obviously you know that can be depending

37
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: on the daddy or the kid, mostly the father. If

38
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: you don't play your cards right, then you know you

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: could end up having a major conflict there too.

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: Do you just say, daddy one more time?

41
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: Daddy?

42
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: Oh that was hot? Anyway, I digressed.

43
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm such a fangirl, Like, oh my gosh, sorry, I'm

44
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: like a little fangirling right now because like the young

45
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: version of me, like in the eighties, I don't know,

46
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: like like the Rocky movies. I just remember, it wasn't

47
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: something I would be into, like you know, I like

48
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: chick flicks and rom coms and whatever they were called.

49
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: John Hughes movies back in the eighties, and I watched

50
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: them because my dad was so into them, and I

51
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: fell in love with them, Like I have seen every

52
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: single one multiple times on my own and for a

53
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: girl like I don't know, I would just cry and

54
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: I'd have crushes and I'd be like championing everyone, and

55
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: like I.

56
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: Had a bit of a crush on you because you

57
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: were blonde.

58
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: I always died Mary a blonde boy because I wanted

59
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: a blonde boys because I'm not naturally blonde, and I

60
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: just want blonde kids.

61
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: But it looks good, Oh my hair.

62
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah it looks good.

63
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: Thanks doll, appreciate that.

64
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, okay, Rocky movies' is, like I said, A

65
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: stallone said, you don't have to know anything about boxing

66
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: to enjoy movie because it's about life. It's about the

67
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: challenge of life. And I think some people are more

68
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: compelled by it because I think maybe they're more fighters

69
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: in their own life. Maybe they have that attitude fighters attitude,

70
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: and perhaps they're more they try to learn something from

71
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: those films.

72
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: You know, It's true. It just inspires you on any level. So, Mike,

73
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: I have five kids. They're eighteen seventeen, thirteen, twelve, and

74
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: eight and I have five kids.

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: Well you look great for five kids. I'll tell you.

76
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: Oh thanks my bottom hat, but yeah, no thanks. It

77
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 2: definitely keeps me on my toes.

78
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: I have three boys, two girls, and it's so wild.

79
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: They're all so.

80
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: Unique and it's just it's such a fun journey. But

81
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: I recently so I've been going back because my kids,

82
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, with TikTok and YouTube, everything that was our

83
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: generation is now coming back in. You know, they see

84
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: the memes and the clips and they and they are

85
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: interested in our lives back then. What was you know,

86
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: good you know, good movies and TV to us. But

87
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: so my eight year old I just started him watching Rocky,

88
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: not because of this interview, just in general, because I

89
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, you would love this so much.

90
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: And they still stand up.

91
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: They really do.

92
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: Like you know, my kids watch my show nine o

93
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: two and oh and they're like, oh, it's grainy, something's

94
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: wrong with the screen.

95
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: Oh it's really slow.

96
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: But you know Rocky, which is you know before nine

97
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: o two and oh in the eighties, Like it stands up.

98
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: They love it.

99
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: Great. No, I think you're right. I think some some

100
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: in the movie, especially Rocky for some reason, because it

101
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: has the visual language was very, very kind of extreme,

102
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 3: and lighting and the way it's cut together with the

103
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: slow mo and the dissults and the free frames everything

104
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: the way it was done, it kind of holds up

105
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: pretty well, I think. And also I believe, you know,

106
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: when I think back in my life, I was interested

107
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: in movies that were made before I was born, too,

108
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: Like what did I my dad what he used to watch?

109
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: I used to be kind of fascinated by that, So,

110
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: you know. At the same time, I'm sure your kids

111
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: we're kind of interested in the time that you grew

112
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: up when you were young, because it's that heritage, you know,

113
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: And I think maybe that's part of it.

114
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: Too, definitely, But they think I'm old.

115
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: Like my eight year old asked me the other day,

116
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: did they have Chucky cheeses back.

117
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: In your day?

118
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: Like rocket my day?

119
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm like yes, and he's like, really, so it's been

120
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: around a really long time, like it's old.

121
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, that's life, isn't it. How it'll all change,

122
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: I mean, the perspective changes. Like I was even today,

123
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: I was talking to somebody about the fact that you know,

124
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: when I was a kid. I remember there was an

125
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: anniversary for the end of World War Two. I think

126
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: it was twenty five year anniversary. And that's like something

127
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,559
Speaker 3: that ended in two thousands now, so that's how close

128
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: it was. Like two thousand doesn't seem that long ago.

129
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: But when I was a kid, and I remember people

130
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: were watching on TV and everybody were in Normandy and

131
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: all that, and of course it was only twenty five

132
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: years ago, it was like around the corner. But you know,

133
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: for a kid, it seems like ages ago.

134
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: It seems ages ago. I know there's that thing where

135
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: it's like it all went so fast, but it all

136
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: went so slow. It's like, really, I don't know, it's

137
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: that thing. I think it's different for women than men aging,

138
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: especially in the in the spotlight as actors.

139
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you look the same, like you don't age.

140
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: Not really, but no, but I think, let.

141
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: Me see them again. Wait, I just want to see

142
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: them up close and personal. Oh, there they are.

143
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: So do you.

144
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: Ensure your biceps? What have you ensured your bic No?

145
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: I didn't actually a good idea flunger and why, I'll

146
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: think about it.

147
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: I'll get on that.

148
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: I intend to keep them where they are, But yeah,

149
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 3: I think that for women with some women age really well,

150
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, it takes an effort. You probably

151
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: know it takes effort and takes dedication to take care

152
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: of yourself as you get older. I mean, a lot

153
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: of people let themselves go. And if you don't, if

154
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: you're a little more focused, then you can stay young

155
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: as a man or a woman. You know, I'm just

156
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 3: thinking of I did a movie called Aquaman and Nicole

157
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: Kidman's in it, and you know, she looks you know,

158
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: she always looks good on film, but when you see

159
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: her in person, she looks great too, and she's like,

160
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, she's not as old as I am,

161
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: bit close, so, you know, and I was impressed by

162
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: the fact that she looked very fit, and she looked

163
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: very very youthful, even the way she carries herself.

164
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: You know, what's her secret?

165
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: My secret?

166
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: Not your secret, Nicole Kidman, her secrets? What do you think?

167
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not sure where her secret is.

168
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're like one of the smartest men alive.

169
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: You must know.

170
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: There's some engineering going on scientifically, Like what is it?

171
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: Some of it's genetics, I think some of it is

172
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: is training and diect and the other one is probably

173
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 3: staying youthful in your mind. You know, if you're an actor,

174
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: usually being creative, you work with younger people, you're you know,

175
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: you're playful, you have fun, you enjoy the moment, and

176
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 3: you don't get caught up in the past too much.

177
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: So I think those things help, you know.

178
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, I feel like she's a free spirit.

179
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: She's Yeah, she's in everything every movie.

180
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know, it's crazy wild. When

181
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: I worked with her on I Can on the On

182
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: the sequel, she came. We did as we have to

183
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: reshoot a scene and shot on the stage at Warner

184
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: Brothers in La and I was tired. I've had some

185
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 3: surgery on my ankles, so I came in on crutches.

186
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: But you know, of course she can't just prop me

187
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: up and shoot this part. But she had, she had

188
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: done it. Came straight from somewhere Australia, I guess, and

189
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: did a night shoot and had worked two nights in

190
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: a row, and she came straight from shooting Knights onto

191
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: this set. It's like, man, that's that's rough. You know.

192
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: I wouldn't I would try to avoid that. If it

193
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: was me, I wouldn't do it that way. But I

194
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: guess she loves she loves working.

195
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: You know, women are warriors.

196
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah were you.

197
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: Were you a fan of the Rocky franchise before Rocky four?

198
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: I was, Yeah, I watched the First Rocky.

199
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: I came over on you didn't sell that for real?

200
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I came over here to America. Sorry, I'm Sweedena,

201
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: but I came to America as an student when I

202
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: was eighteen, and I went to watch Rocky the First

203
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: Rocky in the theater. And this is right after that

204
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 3: I ran hostage crisis. You remember, America was kind of

205
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: not very patriotic. It was a kind of a low

206
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: period in the country's self esteem, I would say after

207
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: the Vietnam War ended, and that was in seventy five

208
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: and ended. It was like a year or two later,

209
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 3: and the movie came out, and that was in the

210
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: theater and I still remember how people are cheering, and

211
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 3: it was you know, the Rocky. The First Rocky was

212
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: came out during the bicentennial celebrations right nineteen seventy six,

213
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: I believe, so, you know, it was a big, kind

214
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: of a big moment. I was a fan of that.

215
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: Then Rocky three I watched when I was in Australia

216
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: on a scholarship studying engineering. I was there and I

217
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: was fighting karate championships and I listened to some of

218
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: the Iva Tiger some of the music getting ready for

219
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: my fight, and little did I know I was going

220
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: to be in the next one. But you know, only

221
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 3: three years later, So it was kind of.

222
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 2: Bizarre that happened so wild.

223
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there it's like bittersweet, like because

224
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: we want to talk about it because it's what made

225
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: us made our careers. But sometimes it's like, do you

226
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: feel like you ever get tired of talking about Rocky.

227
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: Usually it's a load of question. I could have worded

228
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: it better, you know.

229
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: No, sometimes I get a little tired of it, but

230
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: not really. I mean I appreciate the people, you know,

231
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: being the adoration or the fanboys and girls and people

232
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: you know liking my work and as that character. I yeah,

233
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: I don't mind. I mean I think that, you know,

234
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: I've done a lot of other things. Some people prefer

235
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: the Masters of the Universe, or.

236
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: Maybe you know you're he Man, like come on, he.

237
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: Man, or if they're like Aquaman if they're younger people,

238
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: they younger kids, they maybe seen Aquaman or some But

239
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: I also believe that first time you come on screen,

240
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: especially if you're unknown, and when people see you the

241
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: first time, whether it's Stallone as Rocky or Arnold as

242
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 3: Conan and people, it just kind of gets burnt into

243
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: your consciousness as the moviegoer, because especially in those days,

244
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: it was the big screen, and you know, you really

245
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: believe that person's character existed, and it's it's hard to

246
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: get over that. So I don't I understand why it's

247
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: like that.

248
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, absolutely, did you speak English when you first

249
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: came to America.

250
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: I spoke a little bit. I came to study engineering

251
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: when I was eighteen. Then I went back to Sweden

252
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: and I came back again, studied twice. I came back

253
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: studied more engineering.

254
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: And scholarship MIT right, Yeah, I.

255
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: Was MIT towards the end. So I spoke English.

256
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: But if you had gone that route, what if.

257
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: I would have been I would have been a different life.

258
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 3: I would have I don't know, shaking test tubes. I

259
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: would probably been running an oil company or something. I

260
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: had kind of ideas of doing the master's in Business

261
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: administration and then running becoming a company corporate guy or

262
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: a CEO or something. And I'm kind of doing it

263
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: now in a roundabout way with this liquor company I have.

264
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: But you know, I think I would have missed out.

265
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: I don't think I would have been happy. I had

266
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: a lot of traumas in my childhood, a lot of

267
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: issues to deal with, and I think acting was a

268
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: way for me to express that. And so much martial arts,

269
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: but acting was the better way to do it.

270
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: Wow, you in a suit?

271
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, every day I can picture it.

272
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: So was your first movie? View to a Kill?

273
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

274
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: I love that movie?

275
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

276
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: You two favorite James Bond movie.

277
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Roger Moore, Christopher walk and Grace Jones was in

278
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: it and I was dating her at the time. And

279
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: you know, I was there hanging out on set and

280
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: some guy didn't show up for work and they kind

281
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: of looked around to find the replacement for a guy

282
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: to just play a bodyguard, and I look the part.

283
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: So I got that role. I was in it for

284
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: like twenty seconds with Grace and Chris. Chris walkin and

285
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: I met him. He was very nice, very nice and interesting.

286
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: You know, watched his acting and I'd started some acting

287
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: at the time too, so I was watching him as

288
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: he was preparing and and how he kind of would

289
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: change his attitude, you know, from the rehearsal, and then

290
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: he would totally do one eighty and all the other

291
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: actors was shocked. I didn't know how to respond to me.

292
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: Really, I've never heard that.

293
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah he did. He would. He never would the

294
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: way I saw it, anyway, he wouldn't. He didn't really

295
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 3: give much in the rehearsal and he didn't know what

296
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 3: was going to happen. But you know, when the cameras

297
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 3: came on, he would have all kinds of impulses and

298
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: it was very interesting, like very very very explosive. You know,

299
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: his acting is very unpredictable.

300
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: You know that is so cool. Oh my gosh.

301
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: You and Grace Jones were such an iconic couple. You were,

302
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: and it's interesting when I think of the two of you,

303
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: like I have a visual in my mind of the

304
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: two of you and like a paparazzi and it's fashion.

305
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: I think fashion, when when I think the two of you,

306
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: is that weird?

307
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: No, I think you're right. She was obviously always very

308
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: fashionably dressed, and she helped me. You know, I met

309
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 3: different designers and I would get stuff them like Brisa

310
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 3: she would make me a jacket, or Kenzo would do

311
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: something or you know, I wore a lot of Milano

312
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: Blanic and hadman's shoes too in those days. I don't

313
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: know if they did still do, but yeah, it was

314

319
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,679

Speaker 3: was dark and I was blonde, and there's like there's

321

00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, yeah, it would be. It was. It

329
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: was unusual and even before I was in the movies,

330
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: I you know, I was with her and we went

331
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: to fifty four in these places and people did.

332
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: Study of fifty four.

333
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: My gosh, yeah, yeah, it was do you ever get

335
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 3: a dark yeah. Asia bouncer in the front there, and

336
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: Charles Palmieri another actor he was, he was in the back. Yeah,

337
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: this is it was that period. You know they say

338
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 3: when I first came, I came to New York eighty

339
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 3: to eighty three. So there was the period where it's

340
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 3: right for age. So it's like they say, the period

341
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 3: between what is it the invention of the pill and age?

342
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 3: There is a period where you know, the nightlife was

343
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: kind of wild and people weren't didn't have any inhibitions.

344
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 3: There were no there were no iPhones. There were you know,

345
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: if you went to a club, they weren't gonna have

346
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 3: some photographers run around and take pictures of Mick Jagger

347
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: or anybody you know doing anything illegal. It was never

348
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: going to get out and if you try to sell

349
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 3: it to some magazine, they wouldn't buy it anyway. But

350
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 3: you know, it slowly all of that changed. So when I

351
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 3: went out to a club, you know, Prince would be

352
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: there and Michael Jackson whoever was, and you know, people

353
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: were like relaxed and they could be be themselves, you know,

354
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: which now only maybe in a private party with that happened,

355
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 3: but I don't think would happen in the club anymore.

356
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: Which female celebrities hit on you and you think like, hmm,

357
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: maybe I should have gone out with them.

358
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 2: Back in the day. Oh all of them?

359

00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: He he just had his knack of picking finding people

389
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 3: that had even I wouldn't say talent, but had some

390
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: something an X factor. Like he picked me out in

391
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: the club. Yeah. Grace wasn't even there. He was just

392
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: I just saw this little guy with white hair come

393
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 3: up to me and go, Hi, what are you famous for?

394
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 3: And I'm like, nothing as far as I know. And

395
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: he's like, took a picture of me, and they said,

396
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: I want to put you in my magazine. And then

397
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 3: Grace showed up and I realized it was Andy Worrel

398
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 3: and then we ended up doing a spread for for

399
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 3: Interview magazine.

400
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: Which is fun iconic. I want to see that photo.

401
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what happened to it. I think

402
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 3: it was in his instamatic, but we did do a

403
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 3: shoot with and and Andrew Watson were Interview. And then

404
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 3: also he had this other buddy, Chris macOS, who's a

405
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 3: great photographer. And I don't know if I think Grace

406
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 3: told me or I found out later, because I remember

407
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 3: going to the photo shooting and it was always like,

408
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 3: uh okay, you know, wearing a T shirt. And then

409
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 3: it would be like, hey, what if we do some

410
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 3: pictures without the T shirt? You know? Uh okay, hey

411
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: what if you just down to like underwear, you know,

412
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 3: with that look? And then you know, I found out

413
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: that there was some kind of bets between him and

414
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: Andy about how much if there was a guy coming in,

415
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: how much would they remove, you know, and and some

416
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: something like and then sort of reporting on the on

417
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 3: the on the guy's talents, if you know what I mean.

418
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 3: So of course Grace showed up at some point in

419
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 3: the fur coats, you know, to stop, you know, she

420
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: got stops. It was like, no, stop that. So, I

421
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 3: you know, it was tough when you were a kid,

422
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: and it's nice boy, you didn't really understand what was

423
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: going on. I mean I didn't really had no experience.

424
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't really I didn't get it, you know,

425
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: but it took me a while to figure it out.

426
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: And Grace Jones was sorry, I'll move on for a second,

427
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: but this is just so iconic to me.

428
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: Sorry.

429
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: I mean, she was known for pushing the envelope fashion wise,

430
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: and she gorgeous, stunning.

431
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 2: How tall was she?

432
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: Probably as tall as people think the shows were these,

433
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 3: you know amze, I mean nice stiletto heels, but five

434
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 3: maybe five nine or something, so she wasn't short, but you.

435
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: Know, okay, but she definitely dressed provocative. Lee, she was

436
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: provocative and stirred things up, which was so groundbreaking. Did

437
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: you ever feel jealous going out like the men were

438
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: staring at her?

439
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was a little bit jealous in the beginning,

440
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 3: Like I knew she had you know, she had a

441
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: with this French guy who she hadn't been married to,

442
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 3: but she he was the father of the son, and

443
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, there was some I realized some of

444
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: the men we ran into it. Probably she had made

445
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: it had an a fairway, whether you can kind of

446
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: feel the energy or I wasn't that. I'm not a

447
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 3: jealous person. I wasn't that jealous, but I did think

448
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: that I did. I think at some point I think

449
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 3: I can't kind of I ran into some of us

450
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: going through a drawer at her house or something, and

451
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 3: ran into some polaroids, you know, and I was like, oh, okay,

452
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: a little bit explicit, but you know, it wasn't that bad.

453
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: It was it was a crazy time. I didn't you know, no,

454
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 3: I mean she wasn't jealous either, so it was it

455
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: was fine. I think we were pretty secure in each other.

456
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, the two hottest people ever. Like, gosh,

Speaker 2: What well, how do you do it? Give me?

461
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,240

462
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 3: just a little bit of an annoying thing. I gotta

463
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 3: do do some for you know, lifetimes of contracts. You

464
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,840

467
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: that much. I'm not a big fan of it. I

468
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: hate to post pictures of myself, but you know, my

469
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: wife helps me, and I don't know. I think it's

470
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 3: a it's a necessary evil. Now. Yeah, so I can

471
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: see where you know, there were in the old days

472
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 3: some actors ever did publicity and it kind of would

473
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 3: make them mysterious, you know, and I wish I could

474
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 3: do that, but I just I don't know.

475
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: It's just I agree.

476
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like double sided, like it's evil and it's great.

477
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: And I used to love looking at actors and wondering, like,

478
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: what is it like behind the scenes, what is their

479
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: personal life like? And we never saw it, We never knew,

480
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: you know, they would do publicity, do interviews. It was

481
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: media trained. And now, you know, the thing is, the

482
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: more real and authentic you are, you can connect with everyone,

483
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: so everyone knows almost too much about you.

484
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it sort of suits me because I

485
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 3: like to I'm not you know, I don't have anything

486
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 3: to hide. I can be open with my fans and

487
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: talk about my private life or whatever anything happens to me.

488
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 3: But I do agree with you that there was a

489
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: time where say a real fine actor like Robert de

490
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: Niro or Pacino, you can never They never did any

491
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 3: They hardly did any press, so you never really knew that.

492
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: You never saw them except for the when they played

493
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: a character. So it made you want to pay ten

494
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: dollars whatever cost to see them in the theater.

495
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: Well, like I remember, it was ten dollars, was it?

496
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: It was it five? I don't know about ten. I think, well,

497
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: Jack Nichol said, I read about him. He did his

498
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: last interview or talk shows in I think in the

499
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: eighties or seventies, even I he just decided it's some point, yeah,

500
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: I think. So if you check on him, you'll find

501
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: very few interviews I think when he's talking about his

502
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: work or his characters or you know, you know. I

503
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: don't think he's ever been on I don't know if

504
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: he's been on Letterman or you you know, not much.

505
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: I think it kind of keeps a certain mystery there,

506
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 3: and I think they maybe there will be some kind

507
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 3: of maybe I'll come back to that. I don't know,

508
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 3: because I saw this interview with Johnny Depp, you know,

509
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: on on on I think it was a Letterman or

510
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 3: but anyway, he was talking to the letterman. You know,

511
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: he's very funny and interviews he just answers one word

512
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: right for two words. But he's very very clever and charming.

513
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: But he did say that he did a move because

514
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 3: let him and ask him about Brando working with Marlon

515
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: Brando and and he said that he did a picture

516
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: with him. It's it called don't doing one anyway if

517
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: the movie did. Yeah, And then Brando had asked him

518
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: at some point, you know, like when they were having lunch,

519
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: like how many movies do do a year or something?

520
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: And then and he said that two or three whatever, Branza,

521
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: there's too many. You know, it's says you only have

522
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 3: so many characters in new closet or whatever. He had

523
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 3: some funny word. But I always thought about that, and

524
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, I mean, how much effort can you

525
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 3: put into the great performers it obviously that's another thing

526
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 3: that happened back in.

527
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: The eighties as Nicole Kidman, because it's like ten a

528
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: year or so.

529
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Because when I did Rocky, I worked on

530
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: that first. It took me six months to get through

531
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: part of edition.

532
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: Six months? What do you mean?

533
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 3: I had to I had to build. I had to

534
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 3: train to get more muscular, I had to meet the producers,

535
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 3: I had to work on a monologue, and I had

536
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 3: to do a screen test. All that took time for

537
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: me to prepare because Stallone was doing something, he was

538
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 3: doing another picture. And then once I had the role,

539
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: then I worked with Sly for six months on the choreography,

540
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: lifting weights, you know, working on my Russian accent, all

541
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: of that. So I had a full year of working

542
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: on that character. Nothing That's the only thing I did,

543
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 3: like a full time job. So of course, when you

544
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: put that much work into something, it's going to have

545
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: a certain resonance. It's going to be very, very layered, right,

546
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: And you can't just throw something together in four weeks

547
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: and think you're gonna be able to deliver anything iconic.

548
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: It's not gonna. It's not gonna happen. I don't care

549
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: how good you are, So if you do too many movies,

550
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 3: you're not gonna deliver that. And it doesn't matter who

551
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 3: you are. And I think that's what Brandon was talking about,

552
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: and I can see that, you know, and that's what's

553
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: happened now. You're right, some actors are in everything, so

554
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 3: you know, it's not. They're good, but it's not memorable.

555
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 3: It's not like you're gonna that's what you're gonna remember

556
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: them ass, you're gonna remember them as something they did

557
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 3: probably you know, you know that they spend time one

558
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 3: when they were younger.

559
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: You know, for me, it just dilutes their brand. Not

560
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: that I want to call an actor a brand, but

561
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: your persona Like it's just you want to wait and

562
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: you want to be invested in. It's hard to invest. Well,

563
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to invest nowadays streaming. There's a million things

564
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: you can watch, so it's really hard to get attached.

565
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: And the attention span is like kids have no attention span?

566
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 3: How can you fix it? It's you're right, it's almost

567
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: like the trains left the station. You just got to

568
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 3: hang on. I mean, can you sometimes still be a

569
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 3: picture where it'll come out of nowhere and they'll win

570
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: all the awards and there's some has that special quality

571
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: of of you know, people putt of work into it.

572
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 3: They say, you know, you know, I've work with this

573
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 3: acting coach for some movies that called. His name is

574
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,880

575
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 3: And he did say, like when you when you make

Speaker 3: your entrance, you know, scene one, you know, act on

577
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 3: scene one, you make your entrance and he says, within

578
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 3: like a minute or less, the audience makes a decision.

579
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: You know, do I love this character? Don't like them? Like?

580
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: Am I fascinated by this character or not? If you're not,

581
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 3: you know, you're done. That's it. You know, there's no

582
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: nothing you can do. You have to like, you have

583
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 3: to come in with something. And if somebody comes in

584
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 3: with that X factor, then you know, whether it's a

585
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 3: movie or a play, then they're magical and you just

586
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 3: watch them and you realize, oh shit, you know this

587
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: is really axhilarating. You know, it's like I believe this

588
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 3: person and you're so right, and you know, but you're right.

589
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: With all the streaming, there's I don't think that too

590
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 3: many people think like that.

591
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: You know, No, it's a sad lost art famous and

616
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: I I was I was attracted to acting because it

617
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 3: gave me a chance to be emotional and like cry

618
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 3: on stage and be a fool. And you know, I

619

Speaker 3: trained with this guy named Warren Robertson in New York,

620
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 3: and he liked the primal scream and all this, you know, emotional.

621
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 3: I like to be emotional because I had all this

622
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 3: pain for my childhood. So I didn't really want to

623
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 3: be an action star. It was just, you know, that

624
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 3: role was perfect for me. And when I did a

625
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 3: good job in Rocky four, then yeah, here's another guy

626
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 3: who can kick ass and who looks like he could,

627
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 3: you know, looks looks like an action guy. And that's

628
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 3: the kind of movies I did.

629
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: You know, do you ever want to do a rom com?

630
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? I love rong coms. I like to cry and

631
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 3: you know.

632
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: How are you a comedy?

633
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 3: I'm pretty good at comedy.

634
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 2: I think you know. I want to see you do

635
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: a comedy.

636
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

637
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: I want to see you and Stallone do like a

638
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: different version of like.

639
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 2: Dumb and dumber.

640
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 3: Okay, that's not dumb, but.

641
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 2: Like you know, Jim Carre, like that would like something funny? Yeah,

642
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 2: can we set that up.

643
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 3: I've become a fighter because against singer dance. No, but

644
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: I think I think I would. Yeah, that's not a

645
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 3: bad idea. I actually get a comedy on actually comedy

646
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 3: that I'm developing, said in La the in show business

647

649
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 3: not a hilarious comedy, but it's a little bit like

00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 3: a King of comedy that you know, squz pic. Sure

651

Speaker 3: it's kind of serious but funny.

652
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 2: You probably do great physical comedy.

653
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, physical comedies. People like to see me do things.

654
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: That's you know. I think I realized that when I

655
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 3: was fighting that people wanted to watch me fight, you know,

656
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 3: whether I want or.

657
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,640

658
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, natural do things, kind of do things on film.

659
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: It's for some people, you know. So you have that

660
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 3: thing where they want people want to see you do things.

661
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,560

662
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: That'd be awesome.

663
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,160

Speaker 3: you know, when I have you know, if I have

673
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,880

674
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 3: movie or something, I gotta do it. But and it's

675
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: a great tool. I love it. And you know, I

676
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 3: don't know, it's just it's a bit it's a bit

677
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 3: unnatural or something because you're talking to people you've never

678
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 3: met and you're very kind of it. Sometimes it gets

679
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 3: quite intimate or quite you know, personal. I would say,

680
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 3: you know, it's a bit I'm still not used to it.

681
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: I understand, Yeah, got it. Can you can you disclose

682
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: if you're going to be in the new he man.

683
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 3: Oh, I can't say anything.

684
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: Okay, just blink once. If you are, I won't tell anyone.

685
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: It's a podcast, it's not visual.

686
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 3: Okay, Well I blink all the time. Whatever that means

687
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 3: to your own conclusions.

688
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 2: You are ready.

689
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 3: A few secret projects you know that I'm playing around with.

690
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 3: I'll come out later. I got three. Actually, it's weird.

691
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 3: I've got all these things I can't talk about now.

692
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 3: It's so strange. It's never been like that before.

693
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: That's a cool thing. That means you got a lot

694
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: going on?

695
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, can.

696
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 2: How do you feel sorry?

697
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I just got vangirled and like totally

698
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: blanked out.

699
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 2: Have you actually sorry?

700
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: This is so Rando. I like Rando questions because you've

701
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: been asked everything in your whole career. I'm sure. Have

702
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: you tried the infamous Swedish meatballs at Akia?

703
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good. I've tried them, not in La, but

704
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: somewhere else. I can't remember where, but you know what,

705
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 3: I had meatballs today?

706
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: Do you make them dolf longer? And do you cook?

707
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 3: Oh? I didn't actually, but I went to a restaurant

708
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 3: in Stockholm with my parents in law and have some meatballs.

709
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 3: It was good.

710
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: Like is the linenberry sauce at Ikea? Is that authentic?

711
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 2: That's what it is. Typically it is.

712
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 3: Pretty authentic and it comes with linenberries and those cucumbers

713
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 3: I believe, like salty cucumbers or some.

714
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: Sorry your own brand as potatoes.

715
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 2: Does your wife cook?

716
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a pretty good cook, which is great because

717
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: we live in La and I do find the difference

718
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 3: if you compare to steak Sweden. All the food here

719
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 3: is pretty clean, like you know, but I think in

720
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 3: La you can't eat really well, but you have to

721
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 3: be a little more proactive. And I think she's very

722
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: smart about that. So I think that's maybe another secret

723
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 3: I have that I eat really well.

724
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: Was that like a thing like where you're like, okay,

725
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: can you can you cook like Swedish cuisine?

726
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? Here, fill out this questionnaire question one. Can you

727
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 3: make meatballs? No? I uh, I just know when I'm.

728
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 2: Met her she can handle the balls.

729
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, she didn't cook that much, but as

730
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 3: we yes, you know, the years pasted, she did learned

731
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 3: to cook or she ended up cooking more. And uh,

732
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 3: you know, I used to cook a little more in

733
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 3: the beginning, used to cook breakfast as such, But now

734
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 3: I don't cook much at all, just a little bit,

735
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 3: but not much, which is good because I'm busy. So

736
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 3: I'm glad she's doing it.

737
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 2: Definitely.

738
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: If you I don't even know if you ever do,

739
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: and I know you're super healthy, But if you had

740
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: to pick a fast food, what would be your favorite.

741
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 3: Best food? Is? Hamburger? Fast food? Burger burger with cheese, burger.

742
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: With fries, like what place?

743
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 3: H There is one in West Hollywood called Shake Shake Shock.

744
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 3: It's on.

745
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: Mass food.

746
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 3: Is that fast food? Now?

747
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 2: It's really good? I would consider that.

748
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm talking like McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell.

749
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 3: No that now I could go for some for some

750
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 3: I hop I could go for some pancakes. But so pancakes,

751
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 3: I hop again.

752
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 2: Not fast food. But I didn't see that one coming.

753
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 2: Can we talk about your vodka hard cut?

754
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 3: Okay, what about it? Uh? It's this is the logo HC.

755
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 3: It's yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's sick potato vodka.

756
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 3: And me and my wife came up with the idea.

757
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 3: I just didn't like any of the vodkas out there.

758
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: And what was the reason you E didn't like the

759
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: other brands out there?

760
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 3: Well, I missed the taste. I missed that you cannot

761
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 3: drink it on ice, and you can't sip it because

762
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 3: it's too harsh and it burns your throat. It's like

763
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 3: aviation fuel. I didn't like that taste. That was the

764
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 3: main thing that I wanted, a very smooth vodka. And

765
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 3: I didn't know much about it, but it was kind

766
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: of exciting to delve into it and I realized, we

767
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: realized that potato vodka is a much smoother and there

768
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 3: are very few potato vodkets only like one or two

769
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,439
Speaker 3: percent in America potato vodckets, and there was a really

770
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 3: good chopine poland. But then we found one in America

771
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 3: in Idaho, Idaho potatoes. Of course, that was great. Document

772
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 3: and water. It's very very smooth. You can drink it

773
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 3: straight up. People like that. People are very surprised when

774
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 3: they try it.

775
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 2: And I don't know if I could do that.

776
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll send you a bottle. You just sip it

777
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 3: on ice or you can because it's overproof. It is

778
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 3: nighty proof, so when you put it in a cocktail,

779
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 3: it holds the ice better, it doesn't get us diluted,

780
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 3: and there's no clicks, so it's good. Like old the

781
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,720
Speaker 3: vodkas say the same thing, but we're all we taste

782
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 3: better over ice, smooth and also tastes better in a cocktail.

783
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 3: And that's that's That was the main thing. And then

784
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 3: then I just thought, well, I want to have a

785
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: little fun with vodka the way people have fun with tequila.

786
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 3: You know, brands, the vodka brands are kind of boring,

787
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 3: so I wanted to have a little fun with it

788
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 3: and you know, have a little kind of badass expendables vibes.

789
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 2: So and I love that you say.

790
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you put it out there that you're a

791
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: self professed drinker, and there's nothing wrong with that.

792
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 3: No, I don't drink domb much. I work out a lot,

793
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 3: but I do like to have a cocktail once a

794
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 3: week maybe or sometimes twice. And and when I drink,

795
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 3: I like to drink some really good something I really

796
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 3: enjoy and i'd like to I don't have to, I

797
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 3: don't have to abuse it. Just want to enjoy it.

798
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 3: It's relaxing and fun, you know.

799
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: I know people always say like, oh, you can't drink,

800
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: like that's you know, especially when you get older, you

801
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: can't drink.

802
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: And it's interesting. You see these people that say.

803
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: She lived to be one hundred and nine and she

804
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: had a sip of whiskey every single day.

805
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: Yes, but you know, like it's like, look.

806
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 3: I think if you have a little bit of alcohol,

807
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you look at people who live in like

808
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 3: the Mediterranean region. I had a place in Spain for

809
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 3: twenty years and bea or you go to grease people, yeah,

810
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 3: drink a little bit, eat ruso, or they drink you know, wine,

811
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 3: and they live the longest.

812
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 2: It's very different than the United States.

813
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think I don't think alcohol has

814
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 3: a big time to do with unless you're an alcoholic.

815
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 3: But I mean if anything in moderation, you know, I

816
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 3: think what you eat is more important, you know, and

817
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 3: then if you have a drink or two in a week,

818
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 3: think that matters. Right.

819
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 2: So you can have some vodka, if you have some pancakes.

820
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 3: You can have vodka pancakes.

821
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 2: Vodka infused pancakes.

822
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. Let me think about it.

823
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 3: And the syrup, the syrup maybe here, okay, okay, you

824
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 3: know we do have a five to one martini, which

825
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 3: is you know I have. I like the old school stuff,

826
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 3: the the what do you call it, the rat pack,

827
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 3: the martinis, the you know, the rocks, glasses, all that

828
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 3: kind of olives. Olives, yeah, green blue cheese are new. No,

829
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 3: I would say, are you telling green olives? No, no piano,

830
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 3: no pepper, and side because the pimento.

831
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a fan either. I love a good

832
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: all of stuff with blue cheese.

833
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 3: Oh blue cheese, you mean and the drink or.

834
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 2: In the olive into the drink.

835
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 3: I gotta try that and I haven't tried it.

836
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, a blue cheese stuffed all of martini.

837
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 2: You have to with hard cut vodka. We'll do it together.

838
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, we'll do together.

839
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a plan. And ice wise, like, does it

840
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: have to be those like big cubes or you sip

841
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: it over ice, so.

842
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 3: Have to be a big cube, except we that's kind

843
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: of a signature, look as the straight up over big cube,

844
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 3: only because it just the cube doesn't mount as quickly

845
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 3: so it doesn't dilute vodka too much.

846
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 2: I see. That's the reason. I just thought they always

847
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 2: look cool.

848
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, they look cool as well. You can get them.

849
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 3: I can get them with the with the ice stamp.

850
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 2: Really what Yeah?

851
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's just a little detail. But I think

852
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 3: mostly it's because the alcohol, well you know, otherwise the

853
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 3: alcohol dilutes the ice and it becomes too diluted too fast.

854
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 3: If you have bar ice. Bar ice is good for shaking,

855
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 3: but not so much for a drink.

856
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I could listen to you talk about

857
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: this all day long. Okay, last question, Sorry, tell your

858
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: wife to put ear muffs on.

859
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 2: Has a girl ever said to you you must break me?

860
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 3: They may? I forgot, but I mean I may have

861
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 3: too much hard cut before now this is in the past.

862
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 2: That may have seen in the past, of course, yeah.

863
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 3: Maybe I think they've maybe said it and not perhaps

864
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 3: those words, but maybe somebody did say that.

865
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 2: Well, you were delightful.

866
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,000
