interviewing them separately. But they know where their bread is buttered,
don't they.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, we've been we've been really really kind of seeing
these cities never like we've never had before. I mean
generally speaking, when I've gone on tour, I just like
rotten the hotel room, and then I come out due
to show and I go back. But we've really been
taking in some of the sites. We were in Norfolk,
we did the USS Wisconsin, and then we were in Philadelphia.
(01:33):
We went to take a knee over at the Rocky
Statue because being Italian, it's like a rite of passage.
You got to pay homage to stallone. And my question
to you is what should I see in Albany?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh Man, Well, Rebecca Lobo, the NBA broadcaster, trashed us.
You're in the women's final four. I don't know. You
find yourself some nice cider donuts, not a nice cider donuts.

Hey, tider donuts? Is that your is that your your
claim the fame up there?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I don't know what the claim of famous corruption because
it's Albany.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
A lot of corruption, a lot of apples, a lot
of cider donuts. There's definitely a lot of all that stuff. Hey,
Season two of uh of Bookies coming out What December?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, it's coming out in December. Eight episodes. This has
been really really a cool project for me. It's films
in Los Angeles where I live, so really get to
see a lot of la some places that I've been,
some places that I haven't. And I got bookies coming
out of the woodwork everywhere I go, trying to give
me storylines. I'll be on the airplane and guy next
(02:41):
to me, he's like, I'm a bookie and I got
some great stories. You think you could hire me as
a consultant. I'm like, consultant you looky, I'm on the show.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So here's the thing about that show. The show is
about life.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
You just having to be a bookie going through life,
which I love about it.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, pretty much. You know. I got I got a wife,
I got a step kid, and and I'm doing a
hustle on the side, trying to make money and pending
this legalization of gambling coming through the state of California.
So Omar Dorsey, who plays my partner in crime, Ray
is fantastic, and we really got some cool, cool guest
(03:18):
stars coming on the show this year in December on Max.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I'm not just licking rim because you're on the phone
and you're coming to town, but you're acting really kind
of blew me away over the past handful of years.
Did you think you would be an actor? Did you
always did you want to be an actor?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You know, I came out to la in ninety eight
strictly to do stand up That was kind of a goal.
I've always had a passion for some type of acting,
but as far as doing stand up, there's really no
equal as far as the immediate reaction you get on
stage to what you're doing up there is funny. Acting
(03:58):
is another muscle that I have to get used to it.
I enjoy doing it, but coming from the stage to
the screen, you know, I do a scene, they yelled
cut and I'm looking around for like an applause break,
you know, like something that that would justify what I
did was good. But generally speaking, you know, you don't
(04:19):
get that. But yeah, I enjoy doing particularly dramatic roles
I mean comedy is I get kind of my my
fix on stage, but anytime I get to do a
dramatic role, I kind of relish in those moments.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Hey, we had we gave some tickets away last week
and we had played a clip of some of your
stand up in A listener called and said to you,
the doorbell rang and his adult ask grown children wouldn't
answer it, and then came to him in the kitchen
and said, there's a man at the door, and it
happened to be their neighbor of forty years. People just
don't answer the door anymore.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
They don't They don't answer the door anymore, and they
don't even know their neighbors. This guy who's been living
next to them for forty years, they don't even recognize them.
That's how isolated these people have become. You know, it's
like everybody's sitting inside on an iPad or a screen
and they have no idea that there's a whole life
going on outside. So, yeah, the the going over to
(05:16):
borrow sugar from your neighbor, you can get killed.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You're kind of afraid of going out in general, aren't you,
sing Sastian, Not really.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I didn't really kind of enjoy it. That's kind of
where I get my material. If you you know, if
you sequester yourself to your home and don't live life,
you don't extract humor from everyday occurrences. I mean, after this,
I'm gonna go pop over to lunch and kind of
walk around downtown New York and take in maybe take
a walk by the Hudson River. I like to see
(05:48):
kind of people in their natural habitat, so you never
know what's going to happen. And generally speaking, that's where
I get my material.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And that's what we love, the observational stuff. And you
do it, you're one of the best. You're one of
the best. Hey, we're brothers, right, we're brothers.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
We're brothers.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
We're brothers. We're brothers.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Bar goats. He gets to host SNL twice in a year.
When are you going to host SNL?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I don't know. We got to call SNL. I don't
know what's going on. I've been doing comedy now for
twenty five years. There was a moment I was supposed
to host it, but I was filming. What was I
filming during that? I was filming about my father and
I couldn't do it. But yeah, SNL just turn fifty
years old and it'd be nice to get on there.
Maybe we have to call Nate see if he's got
(06:36):
a hook up.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Speaking of that movie, did you were you nervous working near?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah? Yeah, I was spetrified. I didn't know whether or
not I could pull this off. I mean, de Niro
is a guy that I watched my entire life and
all these iconic movies. The next thing you know, he's
playing my father. My father's on set teaching de Niro
how to do die jobs. I mean, this is something
that I never thought what happened. But my father's asking
(07:02):
me how much he's gonna make doing consulting work on
the shackle Llary. My father's looking for points on the
back end because he's helping de Niro do a perl.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I mean, he had to be very very pleased with
who played him all and everything.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I'm sure he did very little to complain about.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I actually, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Actually didn't really know how to watch that movie.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I mean, what do you think like I went into
that and I felt like, Okay, I was expecting. I
don't know, maybe it's just that good because I felt
like de Niro was your goddamn father, like for real.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, he spent time with my father leading up to
that movie, kind of kind of asking him, Hey, how
do you wear your hat? How do you react in
these types of situations? So him and my father were
like hanging out in Oklahoma City for three or four
days while he was filming a movie out there, and
so he did his homework on my father and my
(07:57):
father was was happy with the results. So, yeah, it
was a great experience for me in acting, and I
took a lot of what I learned on that movie
and applied it to other projects.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
What how do you how do you I know, life
work balance or I read life work balance matters to you.
How does that work when you tour ninety five shows
like you do?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, I had my family come out to New York
City for a week. They came out to Nashville, they
came out to Atlanta. They're going to come out to Chicago.
So my kids are five and seven now, so they're
they're you know, they could travel before. It was a
little difficult because they were smaller. But any chance I
get to bring them out on tour, I definitely get
to do that. My parents came to New York City.
(08:37):
So yeah, it's it's hard, you know, traveling all the
all this this time. But when I do take time off,
I'm constantly with my family. I'm not one of these
guys that's, you know, constantly golfing or whatnot. Family is
very important to me, and I never want to look
back and say, wow, you know, I didn't spend a
(08:58):
lot of time with my kids because I was doing
a show in Montana. I mean, there is a time
for work and there's a time for family, and I'm
very conscious of being there, and I don't as a
husband or the father.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You met your wife at the gym? What were you working?
What kind of workout were you doing at the time.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I came in ready to go, Cologne, baby oil, the
whole thing. I was so Italian when I met her.
I was dripping with baby oil. And it's something that
my wife was unfamiliar with. She's like, why do you
smell like cologne at seven o'clock in the morning. I'm like,
I'm Italian. So I met her at the gym and
(09:39):
there's no looking back. So we've known each other fifteen years,
been married eleven and it's been fabulous.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Well you deserve all the good luck that you're getting.
We're super psyched to see you when you come to town
at the MVP Arena on Thursday. And thanks for making
time for us this morning.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
