1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:03,120

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: it's a wrestling podcast. We're gonna get into. Jeff asked

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: me a show business question in yesterday's episode, and so

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: I thought, maybe we talked a little bit about show business,

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: and if we get bored talking about it, then we can,

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: you know, just talk more about wrestling. But I figured

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: i'd give you guys a rundown of my trip to

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: New York, the press, the business behind it.

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: Am I happy with it? Am I?

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Not? All that good stuff? Jeff's here with us. Let's

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: start the show. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready? Shuts up,

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: bouts that hit the fan? Welcome to Unsanctioned Thursdays are

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Mister Jeff, what up?

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: Hey?

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: First off, tell the people where you're gonna be this weekend.

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 3: This week I'm gonna be in Boston, Massachusetts, and then

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: on that's Thursday, Friday, Saturday at Laft Boston, and then

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 3: on Sunday I'm going to Providence, Rhode Island. I've headlined

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: every state including Alaska and Hawaii except Rhode Island. It's

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: hard to find comedy in that small little space. And

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 3: so I'm going to be checking off all fifty states

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: this Sunday.

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: No Way.

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Pretty cool, right, that's awesome? And you're ending with the

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: state that I have a lot of history with.

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: Oh really.

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: One of my dearest friends is the former boxer Pete Manfredo,

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: the Pride of Providence. He was on Sylvester Stallone and

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: Sugar Ray Leonard show called The Contender.

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: He was a world champion. After that show.

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: He lost a tough fight against Joe Kalzagi when Kyzaki

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: was in his prime and Pete was too light for

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: that fight. But he's a dear, sweet friend of mine

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: and I love him to death. And if he's listening,

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: or if his family's listening, your.

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: Dad's the best. So much, Pete, You're the man.

41
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: And then my uncle Ron de Blasio, who you may

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: have met over the years, because he's represented different stand

43
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: up comics from Richard Pryor to my dad to George Lopez.

44
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: He represents Fluffy. He's always loved stand up comedians he's

45
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: from there, and he used to work for this guy

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: named Ray Patriarca. And Ray Patriarcha was a mob boss.

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: And he's the only mob boss that never was brought

48
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: in for questioning in the history of that like crime

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: area up there, from Boston to Providence to New York,

50
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: that whole area. He's the only one that got away

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: with it, got away with murder literally and figuratively for

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: his entire mob career, never even got brought in for questioning.

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: And my uncle used to work for him back when

54
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: he was a teenager. He would run numbers for him

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: back in the day and do you know other fun stuff. Now,

56
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: he wasn't like a hit guy or anything like that.

57
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: He just did like petty crime stuff for him. But yeah,

58
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: he used to always tell me about Ray Patriarcha. And

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: so I did a convention there, or I was booked

60
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: to do a convention there, and I couldn't wait to

61
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 2: like see all the places, and then at the last

62
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: minute I had to work and I couldn't go. But yes,

63
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: I've been there for wrestling shows because it's good wrestling town. Yeah,

64
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: and back when I worked there, and my uncle's from there,

65
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: and one of my dear sweet friends is from there.

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: So you're going to a great state with great people,

67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: and that's crazy that it's gonna be all fifty freakins.

68
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: Well take most comics school. I've done all the states

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: except you know, Alaska and Florida or not sorry, Alaska

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: and Hawaii. That's like they always say those two. But

71
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: you know, this was the hardest one for me to

72
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: get was Rhode Island. They don't have like much going

73
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: on there, but it sounds like they have a lot

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: going on there.

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: I'm very excited. Good man, good, good, good. All right,

76
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: so let's talk a little bit. Let's talk a little

77
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: bit about business. Yeah, I went to New York City

78
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: to help promote this movie that I'm in called I

79
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: Know You did last Summer. It's a remake of the

80
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: one that we did in nineteen ninety seven and the

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: sequel we made a year later. There might be spoilers

82
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: in this, so if you haven't seen the movie and

83
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: you plan on it, maybe this isn't the right episode

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: for you to listen to. Maybe you should go back

85
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: in the in the logs and listen to something different.

86
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: But we'll talk a little bit about my trip and

87
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: then we'll talk about the business that the movie did

88
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: and then get Jeff's thoughts and questions and all that too.

89
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: So here we go, guys. I flew to New York.

90
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: I had to do a little more press than I

91
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: thought I would because not everybody was available to uh

92
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: to carry, to spread the weight evenly, so to speak.

93
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: So I took a trip to New York to do

94
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: some serious XM radios. I got to do the Sam

95
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: Roberts show. I like not Sam. He's a good dude.

96
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: I've known him for a long time, so I got

97
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: to do his show. I got to do the Morning

98
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: Mashup Show, which was fun. They were all super nice

99
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: and cool morning shows. Jeff has to do these when

100
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: he does comedy. I feel like is the strangest energy

101
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: of any interview you'll do, because no matter what time,

102
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: sometimes their pre tape, sometimes they're live, but they have

103
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: to project this feeling of we are awake and alert

104
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: and it is gonna be a beautiful day. And if

105
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: you guys know me on this podcast, I'm much more like, hey, everybody,

106
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: what's going on?

107
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: You know? That's just matter.

108
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: It's more realistic, it's more real.

109
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: So my energy never ever matches with them. But I

110
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: love when stand up comics do it because you see

111
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: this happen. And maybe I'm wrong, but this is just

112
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: what I see. You can tell me. Each comic makes

113
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: a choice when they're doing morning TV or morning radio,

114
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: and it's a choice where they either go, Okay, I'm

115
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: gonna play along and you know, just do this, or

116
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 2: you know what, fuck it. It's not my audience, but

117
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: I'm getting my jokes in and I'm gonna laugh if

118
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: no one else does.

119
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: I've done both of those multiple times, just based on

120
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: whatever mood I'm in.

121
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: You know.

122
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'll be like, yeah, let's just have let's just

123
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: be nice. But sometimes I'm this is so corny and

124
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: I hate this shit, and I'm just gonna like, I'm

125
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: gonna say naughty things.

126
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to make this.

127
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and all the producers in the back one it's

128
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: this guy kind of you know, like it's kind of

129
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: fun to be the arson is.

130
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: At the fun Yeah. Man, I see it happen all

131
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: the time.

132
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: I follow a lot of stand up comics on my

133
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: Instagram and they always post their Morning Showed things. And

134
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: I saw one. He's a guy that I worked with.

135
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: Actually he was a writer. His name is Craig Fitzsimmons,

136
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: and he was doing one and he was talking about

137
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: strip clubs in Las Vegas and they were all like

138
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: named after animals, and he got to the crazy Horse

139
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: and he goes, but it's weird because if you're drunk

140
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: and you say it, it's much more crazy hole.

141
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 4: And they all and they're all like no, no, no,

142
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 4: and he goes, what I didn't say it. You're just

143
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: I didn't I wasn't gonna finish it. You guys don't

144
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: have to jump all over me like that. And the

145
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 4: ownership that you guys can have over these rooms is

146
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: an ownership that I envy very much because you can

147
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 4: have them paralyzed in fear to where you now control

148
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: the entire setting and they have no say. They have

149
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 4: no say because it is live with me. It's not

150
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: like that, like they have to ask questions about my kids,

151
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: my marriage, which I freaking hate. I get really uncomfortable

152
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: and shy, so I kind of like Astro Project to

153
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: Hawaii and then just sort of give them vanilla ice

154
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: cream answers until they ask a question that like snaps

155
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: me out of it, right, So.

156
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: I did that.

157
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: The TV ones are even harder and more uncomfortable because

158
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: people can see your face. They can see if you blush,

159
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: they can see if you're going to cry, and I

160
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: don't like people seeing all that stuff with me. I

161
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: have a private dude for the most part, since the

162
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: guy with a podcast. But I did Good Morning America

163
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: with two of the young men on the cast, Jonah

164
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: and Tyreek. These guys were so good in this movie.

165
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: And it was Tyreek's first freaking time doing morning television

166
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: and he was like, Yo, are you guys nervous.

167
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: You don't look nervous. And I was like, well, I

168
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: was like when I was young. Man.

169
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: I was like, but I've done this a few times,

170
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: and he kind of laughed, and I was like, just

171
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: you know, this is an opportunity for you to shine,

172
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: so just do your thing. And sure, shit, man, his

173
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: story killed and the whole audience laughed and everybody was

174
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: like into it and he crushed and I just kind

175
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: of sat there and just tried to put them over,

176
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: so to speak, talk about how good they were.

177
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they really are.

178
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: They were better actors at their age than I was

179
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: at that age. I don't I'm not trying to shit

180
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: on myself. I got better, but yeah, I just really

181
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: respect their work a lot. So I go out there.

182
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: The first night, I have dinner with my godsister. My godfather,

183
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: for those of you who don't know, is this guy

184
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: named Bob Wall. And Bob Wall was the guy that

185
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: trained with Bruce Lee when Bruce came to America. He

186
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: was already a black belt, but Bruce sought him out

187
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: because he was a badass and he wanted him in

188
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: his movies. And so he was the guy with the

189
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: scar down his eye that Bruce kicks right in the

190
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: nutsack and then kicks him into a locker in another movie,

191
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: and Bruce is, like, you lose Carl Milla. That's my godfather,

192
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: is Carl Miller. And so his name was Bob Wall.

193
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: And I had dinner with his daughter and my god's

194
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: sister and we closed the restaurant down. They literally threw

195
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: us out of the restaurant. We were just catching up.

196
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: He passed away last year and it's still kind of

197
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: like broke in our family's heart. And then the second dad,

198
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: I had dinner with one of my managers at a

199
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: great restaurant called Il Postino, which everyone should go to.

200
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,479
Speaker 1: They're not paying me to say this. It was just delicious.

201
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: And talked about how I thought the movie was going

202
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: to do, and I said, you know, i'm hearing the

203
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: tracking is not so good. It's tough because you know,

204
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: we're right after Superman and right before Fantastic Four, which

205
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: is not a good release date. And the original was

206
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: released in October, near Halloween, and I always thought that

207
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 2: would have been the perfect spot for our movie as well.

208
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: And I thought people would have even moved off our

209
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: date if we claimed an October spot, and.

210
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: October, if you think about.

211
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 5: It, is not that far away.

212
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: And so I said, you know, I think i'd be

213
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: happy with like fifteen, like that would be a good number. Well,

214
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: we didn't get there. We almost got there, but we

215
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: didn't get there. We got to thirteen. But I did

216
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: everything I could. I've said this before. You know, an

217
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: actor is in charge in between the words action and

218
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 2: cut everything outside of that. Ain't nobody trying to hear

219
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: my opinion, And most of the time I shut up

220
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: and don't get my opinion anyway, unless we're talking wrestling.

221
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: But so we were talking and I was like, yeah,

222
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: I'm nervous man, Like they're wanting to play with the

223
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: big boys. But they didn't spend big boy money on

224
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: this movie, like summer movies have budgets of one hundred

225
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: million or more. Like there's a rare occasion where it's

226
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 2: where it's smaller than that, like like Final Destination had fifty,

227
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: but that wasn't considered a summer movie. It was earlier

228
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: in the summer, and it was just considered a straight up,

229
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: you know, extension of the horror franchise.

230
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: They wouldn't call that like a summer movie. It just

231
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: did summer blockbuster freaking numbers.

232
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: Shout out to my girl who's in that movie, Anna,

233
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 2: and shout out to Devin Sawell, who helped create the

234
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: whole damn thing with an awesome performance in the first one.

235
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: We made ours for twenty four million, so the movie

236
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: will make its money back. But it's not gonna be

237
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: that expansion of the franchise that I hoped it was

238
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: gonna be. Jeff, it's I think it might be the

239
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: end of it, which is kind of a bummer for

240
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: all the people that were involved, not for me so much,

241
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: because if you saw the movie, you know how it ends,

242
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: and you know that here's the spoiler part, my ass

243
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: ain't coming back. I took a hard Yeah, that's true, Squito.

244
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: It came back as a ghost. Find ghost ghost ready

245
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: will be in.

246
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: The next So like you'd be like, ah, I liked

247
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: that character, that he's dead, he just comes back as

248
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: a ghost.

249
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: You like, what was that a TV show? That was

250
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: a TV show. I only watch movies, dude, I don't say.

251
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: I watched wrestling, UFC and movies and that's and that's

252
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: that's a lot of SI.

253
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of that's enough.

254
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, so I was kinda I was kind of bummed,

255
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 2: but again only so much because, like I said, I

256
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: just didn't have You don't have to say when you're

257
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: an actor unless you're like Tom freaking Cruise, you know

258
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: what I mean, And I'm just not I don't have

259
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: the track record that dude had so has. So yeah,

260
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: so it was disappointed in that, but I still had

261
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: fun making it. I'm really proud of what I got

262
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: to do. The director is a friend of mine. I

263
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: was proud that I got to be a part of

264
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: her vision and see it to the end. And I

265
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: just wish it would have performed better. Dude, You know

266
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 2: how it goes. Sometimes you just get it, you put

267
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: everything into it, and it just doesn't work out.

268
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: It's just it. I don't know what the lesson is yet.

269
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: I haven't had that much time with it, but there's

270
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: a lesson in there somewhere.

271
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: I just haven't figured it out.

272
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's expectations are tough. You know, you'll have something

273
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: that's great. I'm sure millions of people are gonna love

274
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 3: this movie, and it's just maybe it just wasn't what

275
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: you hoped it would have or could have been.

276
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be awesome. I'm sure people will love it.

277
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 2: I hope so, man. I mean, the response has been good.

278
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: Like the influencers, young people have liked it. Old people

279
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: didn't click with it. But if you look at reviews,

280
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: old people shit on most horror films. But yeah, the

281
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: young people have dug it. It's still made good movie.

282
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: And hey, hey, don't ever forget this. We beat the

283
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: fucking Smurfs movie.

284
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, take that, Rihanna, Fuck those Smurfs. Fuck those Smurfs.

Speaker 1: Superman came out. Did you watch it?

287
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: I haven't yet. I was doing press for this movie NonStop. Dude,

Speaker 2: the nineties, which is the greatest animated series ever besides

294
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: like Bugs Bunny obviously, but other than that, like, he doesn't,

295
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: he does not care. He likes Rob Leifeld because he

00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: makes the guys look super buff. He's a comic book

297

310
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: What it was said to me because he's like, hey,

311
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: twenty fours, twenty five. My buddy's like, yo, man, check

312
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: out this bingo fight scene. So I haven't seen that yet.

313
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: I'll see I will see it. I will see Fan

314
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: four and I will see F one. I will will

315
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: all three of those movies into my existence. But Jeff, baby,

316
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: we got a movie theater now in the house, so

317
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: I could always watch it here at the house.

318
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, still, let's watch it.

319
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: The Wrestling Federation went on hold, but your boy bought

320
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: a nice house.

321
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: I love that.

322
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: So what else can I tell you guys about the movie.

323
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: It's really good. I'm really proud of it. I can

324
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: spoil it now. Like the whole reason I did the

325
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: movie was because I got to be the bad guy.

326
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: And I've always wanted I've always wanted to do that

327
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: since I was a little kid. I always wanted to

328
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: be the guy behind the mask. I grew up watching

329
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: like the old school universe horror movies like The were

330
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: Wolf and Dracula, Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon. All

331
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: those were my favorite movies as a kid. And I

332
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: remember when I was a little boy, my mom told

333
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: me this story. I don't remember that's a lie. But

334
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: I would go down. She'd say, baby, it's nighttime and

335
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: our pie is what she would hear. And my dad

336
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: called me pie, it is bedtime pie. And so I

337
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: would go into all the dark places, like the bathroom

338
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: and the closets in the hallway, and every time i'd

339
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: get in a dark place, I would put my hands

340
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: up and I'd go ah. And I'd go to the

341
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: next room ah, And my mom goes, what are you doing?

342
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: And I said, I'm trying to scare the monsters before

343
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: they scare me.

344
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: And so right away she knew I was a weird kid, right.

345
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: And so we would go to Universal Studios and do

346
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: like the tour where you get on the tram car

347
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: and they drive you around the back lots and you

348
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: can see like how the movies get made, which is

349
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: part of why I started getting into movies.

350
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: It's so young.

351
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: And when all the monsters would come out before the

352
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: trains would take off and like interact with the fans

353
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: and you could take pictures with him, and all the

354
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: kids would be like a run away and I would go.

355
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: Up and hug them. I would hug the monsters.

356
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: So I've always loved horror movies and I always wanted

357
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: to be one of them.

358
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: And I passed on this movie.

359
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: I know you did. When they first mentioned it. I

360
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: didn't want to have anything to do with it. And

361
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: Jen Robinson, the director and writer, came to me and

362
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: said she's a friend of mine, and she goes, hey,

363
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: I'm the one doing the movie. Let me let me

364
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: pitch you. And when she was like, yo, you're going

365
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: to be the killer, I was like, just tell me why.

366
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: If I have a reason why, I can fucking do it.

367
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: I just need why. And she spent like thirty minutes

368
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: pitching the reason why, and I got totally on board

369
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: and was like, yo, I get to be the man

370
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: in the mask. I don't get to wear a mask,

371
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: which sucks, you know. I don't get to be like

372
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: the creature in the Black Lagoon. But you sweat like

373
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: a motherfucker in those things. Anyways, so I dodged a bullet.

374
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: I heard the guy that was the Predator talk about it.

375
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: He's like, yo, I lost twenty five pounds and during

376
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: production because I would sweat so much in the suit,

377
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't need that all that heat.

378
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: So it was a really great experience.

379
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: I get to be shot with a harpoon and they

380
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: had like the tubes they squirt the blood out, and

381
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: I like went down my pants that I got covered in

382
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: fake blood and I had to throw.

383
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: Away my underwear. They were ruined. I didn't think that

384
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: far ahead.

385
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 2: I was like, nah, I don't need to do that,

386
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: so I free balled it on the way home, and

387
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: which was the first time since like high school, and

388
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: uh yeah, man, it was a great experience. I love

389
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: I loved every minute of it. Man, it was. It

390
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 2: was really really fun, really really fun.

391
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see it. Thanks man, thank you.

392
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can still go see I don't know how

393
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: long it'll get to stay in theaters once Van four

394
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: comes out, because studios pull movies so freaking quick now.

395
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: But if they do pull it before you can get

396
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: out there, it'll be on streaming. You'll be able to

397
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: be able to streaming.

398
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: You know it's And if you ever go to Freddie's house,

399
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 3: which I don't imagine many of you will have the

400
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 3: luxury of going to Freddie's house, but you ever do,

401
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: or you ever see pictures from it. He has a

402
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 3: lot of masks. He's a big mask guy.

403
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is true you but so are you.

404
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: I do so I actually had to love like silly hats.

405
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: I love like I don't know, but it's like dressing

409
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 3: I don't hate cosplay. I like when people cosplay at

410
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: these conventions stuff. I don't like when someone's cosplaying as

411
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: a wrestler, like when they're out there doing he's dressed

412
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: like Superman. I think some of the wrestlers did that.

413
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 3: Remember Glacier was just doing sub Zero or like that's

414

00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: Iron Man thing, or like doing some sort of weird

418

Speaker 3: Mortal Kombat stuff.

419
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: So I like cosplay.

420
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: I just don't like it when people are doing it

421
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: in wrestling.

422
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,119
