And now it's time to start the show. We got a great guest today, and we're going to rock your motherfucking world. What's happening, you bad motherfuckers? Welcome to Uncle Joey's joint. Wednesday the 15th. What did I tell you? Didn't I tell you this month

was gonna fucking move at the speed of fucking light? Speed of light. It's the 15th already. Two days ago it was the fucking first. Do the fucking math. This thing is flying, Jack. And it's gonna fly straight

to the end of the fucking month. It's been a great week so far. I had a couple things going on. Went to acupuncture this week. Worked out. I'm still waiting to hear on the Rick Rubin thing for Thursday. I'm excited about that.

A lot of good things going on, man. Fucking acupuncture is great. I, you know, I went for all those, that whole time and that whole last year I didn't go. So hopefully this will be the final fucking step in my recovery. The feeling a lot better. You could tell I'm feeling better. I'm looking better. I'm alive and kicking.

Like I said, in the top of the fucking show, football is back. I had a great weekend this weekend. Fucking the fair at the park, the fucking Jim, Jim. Florentines was great. We watched a Miami Dolphin, New England game, and it's so weird how much life has changed, you know? I still remember eight, nine years ago, Gouffin-Lie, because he was,

I'm home watching a New England game. What the fuck are you? You play for New England? I used to bust his balls. And this week I'm sitting there watching New England against Miami, and I'm thinking to myself, fuck, I'm having a good time. I go, that's how fucked up I was in L.A.

that I wouldn't even watch football. Like I wouldn't even watch football. Everything was on work mode. My whole life was work mode. You're not allowed to watch football. It's bad for you. Things have fucking changed. I'm loving football.

I watched the Miami game. I didn't bet any of the early games. I bet fucking the Rams because I know the Rams, so they came through for me. And then Monday night I had a bag of shit because I bet the fucking Raiders. I thought it was home team underdog on a Monday night. they're getting four and everything was set up for it.

There was 17, 24. It was 24, 17. They were ready to score. And then they fucked up. And that was the end of that. I had a parlay too, even though parley's a sucker's bet. I just wanted to watch the game. So I threw in a $25 parlay.

I think I would have won like 120 or something like that. It was just something to watch the fucking game. I figured at least I have one side that one. Both my sides crapped out. So I'm ready for fucking next Sunday. You know, I might blast some fucking college in, but I don't know much about college sports. You got to stay on top of that shit and know it.

I don't know shit about college football, so I'll just stick with pro. Obviously, I don't know much about pro because I took a beating on Monday fucking night, so, you know, you take your fucking chances. I love it. I love just putting 25. I don't have to watch the whole game.

I didn't watch the whole fucking four quarters. I can't watch four quarters. I'll come down here. I'll watch the beginning after halftime. I'll watch a few minutes. Then I go outside. I smoke my nightly number. Then I come back in and I watch the rest of the fucking game.

I may play a little fucking guitar. And that's it. That's my fucking night. You know, I just can't sit there and watch fucking 18 games in a day. I could sit there for a little while, take a ride. And that's why I did Sunday. I went to Jimmy's, watched a few quarters, got up, met my family, went over to the fucking fair.

Let me tell you something. It was great. There was a ton of people there. It was a co-video event That's why I sat under a fucking tree by myself And looked from a yonder You know what I'm saying? Like I looked from a panda

Whatever the fuck they call it I looked over it was It was fucking great Let me tell you something They had these milkshakes I didn't get one I got one for my daughter Right?

Because I got one for a bunch of the people Yeah because we had like six kids with us They had fucking milkshakes With a donut on top And you put the straw through the hole or the milk shake, of the donut, and then you bite around the fucking donut,

and you, so I bought two s'mores, two Rhesus pieces, and two Oreos. Because I had like, Dylan, Gavin, Mercy, Nicole,

and then we had the parents. So I said, the four kids get shakes, and then the parents could split two or whatever. There were ten bucks a piece, these fucking shakes. There wasn't a lot of money. milkshake, but the donut was

fucking huge and grandioso. My wife tasted the donut. She said the donut was fucking tremendous. I didn't want no donut. I'm this close on the glucose fucking level. I don't want diabetes. Listen, if I got diabetes, I'll die

because I'm not stabbing myself with no fucking needle. The first acupuncture, nah, both of them have been good. I could lie to you and tell you, I thought I was going to faint, but nah, they both been pretty good. The first day I was a little scared.

Every time she touched me, I jumped a little bit because I haven't had nobody touch me with the fucking needles and shit. COVID has really fucked things up for people. We stopped getting touched like people, you know, like I was going to, like I wasn't going to like massage envy or nothing. Those places suck. I had this Chinese chick in fucking North Hollywood. I used to take Lee there. I used to take my wife there.

They would rub your feet, your fucking calves, the front. She would give you a full body massage for 40 bucks and this bitch was no slouch. She would elbow you to death. She would get up on the table and step on your fucking neck. There was times I couldn't breathe. But you know what? I don't live there no more. So that went away.

I miss her, though. She used to have the afternoon happy hour. $20 bucks. They do your neck, your feet, and your calves. They massage your fingers, your arms, your hands. Tremendous. You go take a little edible. I would go home and wash my balls and go in there,

listen to them and talk Chinese and shit. Because when you're face down and people are talking Chinese, you're like, what the fuck's going on? I can't see who's talking. You just hear a bunch of people yelling. It's like the beginning of Janet Jackson's If. You ever see Janet Jackson's if? They got the Chinese guy.

I do bah, I do bah. And you don't know what the fuck's going on. Same fucking thing. When you get a massage and your heads down the pillow, you don't know what the fuck's going on. I don't know if I'm ordering ribs. Are they going to rub my feet? I don't know what the fuck's going on.

But, yeah, the fare was great. You know, it's just been great. Let me tell you something, man. it's tough to go through life when you're fucking struggling mentally. And from like, I think I struggled mentally after my mother died. I think I struggled a little mentally after I got divorced, you know, because that's where I compared what I was going through this time to after I got divorced. I felt empty.

Like, I think the move had a lot to do with that, meeting new people, you know. But the therapy took care of it. Me writing took care of it. Me getting out there and meeting new people. care of it and I feel great about it guys this is what you're supposed to fucking do I'm 58 you know I'm saying I love what's going on right now with my life you know I miss comedy but I don't you know I really don't I'm enjoying what I got going on on the block and in my life and what I'm trying to do I'm a new fucking strength program I'm going to get a little stronger I'm

included fucking pull-ups in my routine now and I'm including fucking squats so now I'm going to lift three days a week and focusing on one major lift all three days like mondays a deadlift i'm doing up to 200 fucking pounds i'm getting fucking stronger and stronger now for reps you know this is what my life is about now this is what you do you fucking evolve and you move the fuck forward you know this is what it's all about you know and as of today we got what 15 more days left for the many motherfucking saints in newark you can't beat that that's you know we're halfway fucking there and So it's all good, man. It's all gravy.

And like I told you guys, I promised you the whole month of October, I would have different people, different themes of soprano thing. I came through for you again today. I got to be honest with you. I've done 10 years of interviews, and this is the first time. An interview made me cry. My guest made me fucking cry for once. For years, I put away fucking, what's his name with the edibles

and Sarah Tiana and Owen Benjamin went. down. She didn't give me an edible. She fucking just broke me down and it was great to have her on the podcast. I hope you enjoy it. Catherine Narducci from Bronx Tale, the Sopranos, a bunch of other shit. She was in the Irishman. She was great in the Irishman. She's got a great story. And as far as dysfunction go, R and I are tied for childhood dysfunction, but she's fucking great. Enjoy her. Miss Catherine Narducci. What's up, beautiful? Hi.

I love the blonde hair. Thank you. I got a blonde for, we're not recording, are we? Yeah, we're recording. We're on. Oh, this is live? We're live.

We're on memorize. Oh, shit, I almost said why I got a blonde. I got a blonde for a job, a great, probably one of my all-time favorite jobs. It's a crazy character, like out of her mind. and the hair is, I have extensions, so it's going to be long blonde on the show.

It's long blonde, but I left it because I figured five hours in a chair to get black to blonde, why am I going to go throw black dye on my hair? I just left it. No, leave it until you shoot and then let it grow out. Fuck it. Right.

Unless somebody else says anything. How are you today, my love? I'm good. You know, you're one of those people that I feel like I know you. Yes, you too I feel like I just know you Like I know you And we never met

No And I'm looking at this the other day After I spoke to you The Pleasant Avenue Connection You ever read this book? Oh my God, yes of course This is a great book It got optioned and never got shot

Yes This is a great book It's look at it I think my father's in that Mickey Noducci Yeah, I'll read it And I'll look I still have a marking here from I was on page 142 at one time.

Wow. This book, if you go online, it costs like 500 bucks. Yes. And you know, there's another one that's out of print too. I forgot the name about Harlem. It's out of print. And actually, my friend got it for me for my birthday. I don't know what the hell I did with this book.

It's driving me crazy. I frigging lost it. And I can't think of the name of this book. another one. I wonder if that's the one. Did you see Nikki Nodzuchi in that? No, you know, I read it years ago. Years ago, like I was hunting it down

and I even went, because the only way you could get it from a library is by going into the library and reading it. You can't take it home. Oh, wow. I told a friend of mine about it. He won a contest. He won $250,000.

and that was his gift to me. He bought me the book. It was like $600. The fucking cover was ripped off. Wow. Unbelievable. I'll tell you one thing. I couldn't ask for a better childhood

growing up in that neighborhood. That's a great neighborhood. I loved it up there. I loved everything about everything. I'm telling you, it was so beautiful. And, you know, I go to Brooklyn now and I go around, I go, wow, this must have been, like, back in the 70s, this must have been unbelievable.

but you always think where you grow up is like the best, but I don't know. To me, I felt I grew up in a very magical place. I felt Harlem was magical. Because as kids, you know, in the other boroughs are great. All five boroughs are great. Even Staten Island. They're great.

But everybody wants to be in Manhattan. I just felt blessed as a kid. I knew at a very young age, like in five years old, I used to look out my window on first, Avenue, I go up between 114 and 115, and when you're from Harlem, real Harlem, people say 100. They don't say 100.

I go up between 114 and 115 and I would look out my window. I had to be five years old and go, I love it here. I'm so lucky. I just knew it. I love the streets of Harlem. I had an aunt that sold drugs on 113th,

right by the mouth of Spanish Harlem, right by the park right there. Jacksonson Park. Yes. And I used to go up there just to visit her because it was like a zoo walking up upstairs. People would be shooting heroin and shit. Oh, yeah.

And they'd be nodding. So I'd go to the bodega, get some, a couple empanadas or whatever the fuck, they had some coquitos and shit. Those little coconut balls. The coce fritas. The coci fritas. And I go upstairs and see her and see the junkies.

She'd give me 20 bucks. and I'd walk around Harlem as a kid. Very, very, very colorful neighborhood. Very colorful. That's the one thing. Very cultural. Just amazing. Just amazing.

The shit, there was stuff in Harlem. You couldn't get in any of the other five boroughs. Yep. Like little snacks and shit. Every borough had this. I'm really proud to be from this area. Like, I remembered last week during the 9-11 things, how much I hurt during the 9-11.

9-11 because I was in California and I'm seeing my city getting fucking shot down by fucking planes. I couldn't tell you how bad I felt. And people don't understand. Yeah, I grew up in Jersey and I loved Jersey and it's my heart. But my original heart when I came

from Cuba was that fucking Manhattan. I loved it. I loved everything about New York City, man. Everything. And then they showed me Harlem and that's where the fucking flavor of that city is. The city is the city. And you know, what, that's why I'm so proud to be on the Godfather

Harlem, I swear. I did the scout, I helped them do some scout locations, and I walked them around before we even started it. And before, they were just been getting in production. And I showed them, I took them to all the clubs, I took them to where all the, you know, colorful people stayed. You know what I mean in that world? And I was so happy to do it. I've never been so proud of the show.

I'm just so happy Harlem's getting its due. I just haven't. I give Chris Boncato and Mark Juan, all the people who brought it in Jim Atchison, who brought it to the table. I'm just so give them a lot of props for that, man. Just really a lot of props for it. The Godfather Harlem is just unbelievable.

I've heard great things about it. So I'm really happy for you. I've heard great things about it. and now that I'm living here I would love to shoot all those fucking shows that one, the one about Brooklyn with the Italians there's a ton of shows they're shooting out here. You are so perfect for the godfather of Harlem

it's ridiculous. Yeah. Perfect. I was thinking about you this morning when I was doing my gratification because we had a long talk about that last week. Yes. About it's a different world.

You don't know what's being said to you anymore. I feel that everybody's fucking lying to us. Everybody. You know, my wife ordered food yesterday. They told her to be here in 20 minutes. I go, Terry, you know they're not going to have it ready in 20 minutes. She goes, nah, but the guy told me

she got back an hour and a half later. I said, I told you. Everybody's lying to you. The airlines, the doctors, the fucking the who, the fucking governors. Nobody's being straight with us. So we have to be straight for ourselves. So in other words, this could make us fucking go crazy.

This can make you go crazy. So you have to get your own corner, see what works for you, what information you have, and you have to be different in what's going on in the world today. Look, my daughter's home. That's why I didn't call you yesterday. She went into school at 8.30, at 9.30, they called. A kid in the class, he had contact with somebody who had COVID over the weekend. My daughter can't go back to school until next fucking Monday.

I had to bring her home yesterday, give her a test and babysit all day. Today she's on the computer, you know, on Zoom and till three and we're good, but that's the world today. They're not going to go to school. This school's going to be closed. They've had 21 cases in three days of school.

So you have to, you know, you sit there and you go, I've had enough. You order a TV, they send you the wrong TV, or they don't send it to you at all. It's back-ordered. You get a plane ticket. Everything's fucking upside down, so you need your mental fucking side.

So we've been talking about it, and, you know, Catherine said something to me about it, how you wake up in the morning, you get your cup of coffee, you find a dark corner, even if it's for one fucking minute, and you think about, you know, what you're grateful for. Really, like, really dig deep. Like, I don't give a fuck, I'm grateful for my heart. I'm grateful for this napkin. And then when you get in the shower, you repeat it out loud. That's the system I do.

And I fucking love it. It's been, it's helped me dramatically the last 120 days. Could, could I tell you something? I watched your podcast a lot of them in a row as I do everything that I do. Like if I get on a TV show, I start watching the episodes. And I just did my research with you. And I came across that one podcast in particular and it hit me. Oh, you hear all this self-help things and things to do.

I don't know. one thing in particular. It helped me. Even though I'm the most, I walk around going, thank you God, thank you God, thank you God, thank you for everything, for a glass of water. I'm like always appreciating and very self-aware. I'm very extremely hyper, too hyper, self-aware

and appreciate everything, right? You said that, let me tell them what you're talking about for people maybe that are just tuning and don't know. He said, every day you wake up and you say three things, out loud that you appreciate. Is that correct? Yes. You say it.

And I woke up the next day and for some reason, I said, oh, let me try it. And I said it. And then I said the three things three times. And every time I said it, it got stronger and it resonated with me myself, even though I know it and I'm the one who's saying it. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I feel that. And when you appreciate even less than, oh, I even appreciate, you know, my apartment, I appreciate, you know, when you start going down to the little, littleest things, like, I appreciate that I can fucking pay my electric bill. You just realize, like you're saying, we are so blessed and we don't even look at the little things anymore.

And now we have the time and the realization to do that again because of the way the world is. So we got to go back to our own selves and say, wait, check in on you. What the fuck is going on with you? And this is what's going on. And I'm like just so appreciative. But I want to just say another thing, too. That helped me. And I did it today.

I didn't do it when I woke up. I did it when I was going for my morning coffee. I was walking and I said it out loud. And it helped me. But, you know, your charm and your, the reason you are where you are right now, brutal honesty, brutal honesty. And especially publicly, publicly, it's different than you're brutally honest

and something, you know, just you and this person in a private conversation. When you're brutally honest and you're being brutally honest about your past, because I listened to you and things you went through, crazy, right? The brutal honesty and your past and then overcoming all these obstacles that you came and being brutally honest about it is your charisma.

You're very charismatic. To me, brutal honesty is a charismatic, like, to me, like a charismatic quality. It all goes with, because sometimes people don't, you'll need to be way too much for people, like, oh, no, this. Or, which I think why you are where you are, is that even my godson, Alessandro, was like, I love him. He says it like it is, oh, my God, I'm so happy.

You're going on a show, I love him, I love him. And me and my brothers love him, and they're all, like, under 25, their kids. You're resonating with that, right? and you just said something at the beginning with being bullshitted by everybody, right? So when somebody comes along and they're honest like you, it's so refreshing. And not only that, that you overcame such a hard life and craziness,

crazy fucking dysfunctional to the highest, to the fucking, if there was a scale one to 10, US is 100, the obstacles that you overcame and that you're successful and that you're here, that's why everybody loves you you give people hope you really do i'm not even saying i'm saying you give people hope and you tell people i don't give you fuck where you're from i don't give fuck if your mother and father were junkies your father you had no father i don't give a shit if you were banks in the past right now today you could change all that and you there is hope you could

always time to change number one and anybody if they have a they have a they have to want it, has a dream, no matter where you are in your life, and no matter what past you have, you can overcome that and become somebody. You can be successful. And you, you are the epitome of that. You're the epitome. You could come from nothing and, and make something of yourself, you know? And I just think that you're great. And I think that that's why your show is successful. That's why you are successful. It's the brutal honesty.

It's the brutal, brutal honesty and where you come from, you know, what you've come from and that you share that with people. And then you laugh about it and you turn that negative into a positive. That's all you have to do, you know, turn that. Remember that song? It always made me so happy. You have to. Then the negative.

Turn it into a positive. And that's the way the story goes. It's fucking true. Right? You can't play the victim. No. You cannot play the victim. You have to turn that shit around.

You're responsible for everything in your life. Remember the last time you spoke to a victim? How hard was it on you? People who just do not. It's very hard on people. blame the world. They blame everybody but themselves. It drives me crazy.

Because you come from the bottom of the fucking barrel. And you didn't play a victim. You don't play a victim. You overcome that. You realize once everybody realizes that everything you do in your life is your fucking responsibility. You make it. You wake up in the morning and you decide it is going to be a good day. Or shitty day.

Am I going to complain all day and blame my mother, my father, my circumstances, or am I going to say, fuck this. I'm my own person. I have to be responsible for everything that happens to me, my happiness, my work, my job, what I do, who I date, if I'm in a bad relationship with a guy. I can't blame the guy. Oh, he did this to me. Oh, he did that to me.

No, you did this to you by being there and showing up with that person. Everything is, when you get that power, it's so. powerful. It's a fucking revelation. When you realize you are responsible for everything, you cannot blame anybody. Life becomes a lot easier, a lot easier, and you get a lot more power. You hit it, right?

That fucking judge told me that. I didn't believe him. And now I even blamed the Kennedy assassination on me. I did it. And I feel so much better in my life that I took responsibility for things. I was one of those people.

What happened to your job? Ah, the fucking boss wasn't a nice guy. It's you. It's you. It's always you. It's nothing to do with anybody else. It's your attitude. It's how you're seen.

So you have to change these things to move forward. And that's exactly what I did. I just take respect. I fucked up. What do you want me to do, Catherine? I fucked up. Right. I tell you what I'm going to do.

I'm going to go to bed tonight and I'm going to wake up and I'm never going to fuck up like that again. Again. Yes. I promise you that. I'm never going to. And just say it. And you'll be fine, but people don't want to.

They want to ride that fuck up. You fucked up. That's it. Who cares? I went to prison. They were going to throw me in there for nine years. I was cracked. I did the four.

I came out. They told me you can't be an acupuncturist. You can't cut hair. You can't sell real estate. You can't do anything. So what do you want to do? Collect disability? When you go to prison, that's what they make you do on the way out.

They tell you. You're disabled. You're never going to get a job, especially now with background checks and shit. So is that enough to just lay down, be a fucking lay down Sally? Fuck no. You get up, you sign your fucking shoes, and you go out there, and you bullshit. And then, you know, I used to not. Whatever the fuck you got to do.

I would bullshit. I don't give a fuck. I'd done it before. Okay, here's the job. I thought you did it before. I never did. I just got a lot of heart, and I know you would like that quality. Okay.

We got something to work with. That's right. What was your dream growing up? What was your little dream growing up in Harlem? To be an actress. Really? Since the age of five years old, I swear to you, me and my mother. My mother had a voice you cannot believe.

I mean, like, unbelievable. And she would put on these shows, we would watch TV, all the million-dollar movie, driller. She would say, stay up with me, watch it with me. and I would watch these movies with her, and it was like my bonding time with my mother, and my mother would then act everything out. We'd watch A Star was born with Judy Gall and James Mason,

my mother would sing all the songs and a Star is Born, and she would say, take the brush, make believe it's her microphone, and introduce me. And I'd say, ladies and gentlemen, Bunny Madduci, and my mother would get up and just start singing all the songs, and then she'd take the brush and introduce me, and I would act out all the characters in the movie, and it was just so much fun to me.

And as I got older, I never let that dream die and it stayed with me. And it just, you know, that was it. I was born to be an actress. I was born to be an actress. That's an actor. That's it. I was born to be an actor.

And now I'm an actor. Thank God. I thank God, you know, that my calling and my dream and my calling and my vocation are all the same thing. You're blessed when you have that. How old are you when you started acting? 28. No, what were you doing before that?

I was working in the Hunts Point terminal market as a biller, the fruit and produce. They do the fish up there now, right? The Hunts Point Fish Market. That's another part of it. I was in the fruit and produce. Yeah, I was up there a few months ago. That's fucking crazy at four and food.

the morning. Oh yeah. That's fucking real up there at Hunts Point market. They moved it from the other fish market that won a Fulton. Fulton used to be in the city and then they closed that and now all the fish is being sold out of Hunts Point. So my brother has a fish company. I went up there with him like three months ago. It's fucking crazy. I thought I was definitely going to get COVID. Thank God I got the fuck out of that. When you were kicked, did you go to the fresh year fund, getting off the subject? Yes. You did not!

When I was, when my mother, when we came here, my mother had a dry cleaner in the Bronx. She was partners and a dry cleaner in the Bronx and they had that program for kids up there, the fresh air program

where they take you to camps and shit like that was that? You go live with a strange family in Harlem. All the kids would leave all at the same time every year. We'd go to LaGuardia house. They check you for life.

They check your feet for at least feet. and that was it you got a put at five years old you got put on a train my mother used to be like thank God they would get all the parents would get rid of all the kids

in all of them you'd get on a train at Grand Central you would get a I swear to you a number around your neck on a piece of cardboard they'd stick you with a suitcase you'd get on a train

and the number had like a number like a number like eight blue. Like the card would be blue and it would have a number. You'd get up. My mother would go, okay, bye, kick me on the train. I'd be like, ah, I'd end up, you get off the train. They'd say, Blue 8, and that's the stop. You would get off. You hold your fucking card up like this. Your family has the same card and they find you in the credit, go, hey, you're my family. You go stay with them for two weeks. You're in a complete stranger's house for two weeks. And you just, you're just like, I'm packing your bag. I could have got raped, molested.

It was a crazy problem. I don't know how my mother said me, but you would go away for two weeks, and you were not allowed to call your family. You were not allowed to be in touch, and, oh, my God. I had fun, and I used to cry, and then sometimes get abused by the kids.

They'd say, you know, you're on welfare. Get out of our house. Like, the kids would sometimes be mean. And sometimes I would like it. I'd get a good family, but I didn't know if you went on, went to that program. It's such a great program.

I did it will miss the Williams family. They were African-American. That's great. They were great. And it's funny that you said they were, and here's the funny thing. They lived in Harlem. They lived in Harlem, the Williams is.

Wait, you went to the Fresh Air Fund in Harlem? Yeah. Because my godmother lived on 148th Street. So all the kids would go down to 125th Street, that little center down there. So that was, I thought that, was the fresh air fund. I'm not sure.

I don't know if that's the fresh. The fresh air fund, you would go. You know what the slogan was? Take a kid out of the jungle and give them fresh air. Yes. I remember that now. Yes. And it would be, the commercial would be a kid, like a kid on, you know, like when they have

the rope hanging from a tree and you go out and you fly into the lake. Like Tarzan. It would be a kid in and say, take the kid out of the jungle and give him fresh air. Be a part of the fresh air fun. Now, what is Harlem run from technically? I think, well, East Harlem runs from, I'm going to say, I may be wrong, I'm going to say East Harlem runs from First Avenue. Because Pleasant doesn't go all the way up.

Pleasant only goes from 114 to 100. 22nd, I think. So you'd go from 100th Street, I'd say like 100. I'd say East Harlem, so that's like from 99 to like 122nd, from 1st Avenue. Now we're talking East Harlem to like Lexington Avenue. So you got that little corner pocket. And a very magical place.

And where's regular Harlem run from? So then Harlem, I guess, West Harlem would be, well, that I was in considered, I lived in Elberia, they call it, right? Spanth Harlem. Right. Spanit Harlem. And then West Harlem, I think the west side starts from what? like Park Avenue all the way down to all the way down to like almost like the West Side Highway.

Yes, it does run to the water. Well, listen, West Harlem is bigger than West Harlem has got a lot more than East Harlem. You know, West Harlem is bigger, you know, area-wise. So you got to remember that I lived on 88th Street on the West Side. But for me to get records and shit, I would have to walk up the heart. Harlem. And I still remember being six and walking up to get James Brown's hot pants. Wow. Up in Harlem, you weren't, there was no fear. We just walked. And then I would hit Harlem from both directions. I loved 120th Street. I loved everything about it. Oh, yeah. I loved that. I remember even in

93, I used to cop weed on 125th Street on Broadway. There was a little bodega, and then there was a weed spot three doors down. We used to call the guy Mr. Wendell from that song that came out in 93. I forget the name of the band. Mr. Wendell, whatever the fuck. What was your first acting job? What was your first acting job that you remember?

Oh, my first acting job was a Bronx tale. Are you serious? That was your first, first acting job. I was an undercover actress. My family did not know that I was acting because every time I would mention it, they weren't being mean. They weren't like, oh, you can't do it or negative.

They would just, like, laugh or think it was unrealistic. It wasn't like anybody was going, you know, my mother and father were already dead, so I didn't have parents saying, oh, you got to do this, that. Anyway, even if my mother and father were alive, it was very dysfunctional. They wouldn't give a shit anyway.

It wasn't like, go to school or anything like that. But it was more like, you got two kids. Where are you going? You know, like that. Or like, you got to be, you know, you got to support your stuff. you know, not being mean, just be looking out for me. And so I was doing it on the down low.

I would get backstage. I would do all these little things, go on auditions through backstage. And when I was at the 100 point time of the market, this woman Annabella, who I worked with, said, you know, there's an open call. Because they knew I was doing it. They said, there's an open call. Rob Dinnell said an open call for a little boy. You should take his son and then you can meet him.

We didn't know how it worked. I was like, oh shit, yeah, I'll take my son for Colosuro. I take my son on the open call. There was an open call for Cloosero. And when I'm there, I see that the women start walking in. That look like me, walked like me and talk like me. And I was like, shit, what are they here for? I could do whatever they're here for.

When the casting director came out with my son, I said, could I go in, whatever they're going in for? And she goes, the little boy's role is an open call. Today, the wife, and I didn't know the wife was the Nero's wife, she goes, the wife is not an open call, but if we don't find it today, a sad, our actors today, it's an open call tomorrow. Call me in the morning, and I'll let you know if you come back. So I said, oh, okay, I'm getting dressed, I'm ready to go to work. I said, you know what, let me call. I called.

I said, hey, did you find the wife? And she goes, no, you can come. I went back This is a God's honest true story I went back and I audition

and I go home and my cousin comes with me to the audition I tell her and she's like why? I was like

just come with me please I'm nervous she comes with me I do my audition the next morning I'm getting dressed for work again the phone rings

my cousin I thought my cousin called somebody and say call and act like she got like they were goofing on me. I answered the phone. I'm getting dressed for her and she goes, hi, this is Ellen Chenowett. You were here. You came in for, you know, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, she goes, Bob wants to meet you. And I went, I hung up the phone.

And I said to my cousin, oh, you're so fucking funny. What do you? I didn't do anything. I said, oh my God. The phone rings, she calls back. She calls back. I said, hi, this, Ellen, Chenner, listen, Bob saw your tape. He wants to know if you would like you to come down for a callback.

And I was like, Bob Who? She goes, Robert De Niro. And I was like, what? Robert De Niro saw my tape. And I went down to, yes, I can, yes, yes, yes. I went down to it was like 2,500 girls there. And I waited a long time, like three. hours. I finally got in that room. It was De Niroam, Chaz, Jane Rosenthal, and the casting director.

I got in the room. And, you know, here's the thing. When I was down in that waiting room and I saw all these girls there and I said, holy shit, I thought it was just going to be like me. I didn't understand how this worked. I never did anything professional yet. And I looked at, and I looked at I made my aunt. I told my aunt what I did. I said, please come with me. I'm nervous. I went down to Tribeca.

And I remember I looked around and they were getting close to me. And I looked up in the atrium and I saw De Niro look over and he waved. And I went, oh, my God. De Niro just looked over. He's up there. Oh, my God. And my aunt goes, calm down. I said, oh, my God, I'm so, I don't want to do it.

I don't want to do it. I'm too nervous. I'm too nervous. I couldn't breathe. I was past, I thought like I was going to pass out. And all of a sudden, I thought about my mother and me and my mother, what we used to do. What I told you, we used to do our thing. And when my mother was alive, she said, please become an actress.

I want you to work with Robert De Niro. He's my favorite. You've got to become an actress. Please work with Robert De Niro. I love him. And I remember all these in the atrium, like all the sun was coming in and all these little, you know, when the sun has like sun particles in the rays. And I looked up and I said, mom, please don't

make me nervous anymore. Take it away from me. If I go in there, I'm nervous. I won't get the role. I got to be calm. Please, mom, please stay with me. And I remember this, I'm not joking. This whole warm feeling came over me.

And I just looked at my hand. And I just, like God, calm down. And they go, Catherine Arducci. cheek and it came right back up. I was like, oh, fuck. And I started getting closer and closer and closer and closer. And I walked in the room and Chaz was there. And he went, hi.

And I was like, hi. And I was like so nervous. And he goes, say hi to Bob. And I was like, I did not want to turn my head and see Robert De Niro's face. I went. And I just started feeling buzzing in my head. My fingers were numb. And he looked at me and I said, I'm so nervous.

I have to be honest with you. Honestly, honestly. I have to be nervous. Honest with you, I'm so nervous right now. He goes, you're supposed to be nervous. Go sit down, have some water. When you feel not nervous, just go like this. I sat down, they bring me water,

and I look up in those fucking sun-raising room, and I just look just like this I said, Mom, this is real. This is not a broken-down theater. I'm in the room with your guy. Please, please, stay with me. Let me do good. Please, Ma, please stay with me.

Got that feeling again. And I just went, boom. I'm ready. And he sat down and said, you ready? We're going to read some lines. And then we're going to improvise. Didn't even know what the fuck improvise meant. I read the lines.

And he looks at me and they look at each other and like, you sure you're not an actress? Like, you know, I said, no. He said, okay, now we're going to improvise. We start improvising. He tells me, he said, I'm going to say something. Whatever comes natural to you, you say back, we'll do it. I do that, I do that.

The whole time, my mother is inside my body. I am just like I did it my whole life. And I'm so calm. I'm so relaxed. I feel like I'm supposed to be here right now. This is where the fuck I am supposed to be. I am supposed to be right here. And I got up.

I was done. And he goes, listen, there's a slight chance we may call you to come back. And I was like, oh, okay. I went downstairs. I was done. I went to my aunt. He goes, how did you went in there so long? I said, I think I did good.

I think I'm going to come back. I got home on my answering machine. Hi. You're going to come back. Went back. I did it. over and over and over until the last I screen tested

and I they said we're going to call you guys over the weekend we're going to let everybody know who's in and who's not and over the weekend they called me Chaz called me. He said hey Rosina that's my character's name I was like and I got it fucking great story

yeah that was great that was your intro to this life. That was my intro. Could I tell you something about brutal honesty? And this is the God's Honest Truth. And I was ever listening to this. When I was in the room with the casting director,

and I wish they still have that tape. I won't say everything I said right now, but I'll say some of what I said. She said, when you're done with those sides, tell me who you are. And on God, I looked in the camera, and I said, my name is cat. And I was always brutally honest.

like you. And that is a loaded question. Tell me who you are. Even on regular nine to five job interviews, the worst question they could ask me, because that's how I didn't get the job in that world. Tell me who you are. And I said,

my name is Catherine Naducci. And my whole life, I knew I was supposed to be an actress. And everywhere and every job I ever had, I would look out the window in daydream that I was supposed to be an actress and I wasn't supposed to be there, that I was supposed to be right here.

And my father was murdered. when I was 10, shot down. My mother suffered from mental nervous breakdowns. My whole childhood, I come from a very dysfunctional childhood. My sister, my dad, my fat, I spilled out all my family dirty laundry. And then I just went, oh my God, could I do it all? She went, no, thank you. And I went, I'm not going to get the fucking job.

I just blew the job. I knew I did a great audition, but I just blew the fucking job. And when I got that job, De Niro said to me the first day of work, you know why you got this? And I said, why? It goes, because you told the truth in your audition. Stay with that honesty. Stay with that.

That's how you got to act. Just be really honest. That's what acting is. It's honesty. That is one of the best fucking stories I've heard in the entertainment business in 23 fucking. That is great. That is tremendous. And you took the ball and ran from there.

It's never stopped. Well, it's always been a struggle. I mean, I'm a working class actress. I mean, I'm no A-lister. I'm a work. You know, I work a lot. Sometimes I don't work. Sometimes I work.

But no matter what, you know, I always say this to me when they go, you know, even when I taught, I taught like a couple semesters at School of Visual Arts, I say, if you're not willing to just work the rest of your life. If I told you you would work the rest of your life in a broken down theater nobody will even see you but you can act in that theater you can do all the plays

you can do shit you can do that the rest of your life you're an actor but that's where you'll do it will you still want to be an actor and if they say yes then I say then do it because you'll never be miserable

when you're not working you'll never be miserable when you got told no you'll never be miserable when you don't work for long periods of time because you're just fucking happy being who you are and what you were meant to be. So when I had dry spells, of course I wanted to work

because I needed to pay my bills. But I never said all this fucking business or fuck this, fuck that. I was never not happy for my friends that worked all the time. All my friends worked all the time. And I was always still happy for them. And I was happy for them.

because I said, I want to be around working actors. I don't want to be around a bunch of non-working actors, although I was around a lot of non-working actors. I like being around working actors. It teaches me and it gives me hope. I want you to get it, even if I don't get it. Because then you are my inspiration. If she got it, I can get it.

That's how I always took it when somebody else got my job. That's how I look at it. That's how I look at it. That's how I look at things. Everything about it is positive because I just, want to be an actor. I don't want to be famous. I just want to be an actor

and I want to be able to pay my bills. And I am successful. You are. That's a great attitude to have. And you haven't stopped since. I remember after the Sopranos ended, I saw you at an audition for something. To play a cop or something.

Oh! I think it was CSI, New York. I think we auditioned. I think so. I think it was the... Yes. Did we speak? No, I just said hello to you.

You had on pants. You were dressed like a cop. And that's the only, I've been thinking about it for the last couple days. What auditions I went in that time. And I think it was CSI, New York, when it first came out. Like the original cast. Like this was to shoot the pilot. So it was a long time ago.

But you have not fucking stopped. How did you end up getting, the Sopranos. Kathy Moriarty called me who I love and to me she's such a fucking great actress man. Yes she is.

Kathy Moriarty called me she goes Nadooch. She named me Nadooch. Everybody calls me Naduj Naduio, Kiddhi are my two nicknames. She goes, Naduich, you got to go for this show, the Sopranos. And I was like, but I don't sing. She goes, no, it's not about that.

She goes, you got to go in, you're right for it. Call your agent. call my agent. He goes, all right, I'm on it. And then I got an audition. I auditioned for Edie Falco's role. And they call me back. Of course, only Edie could have done Edie's role, brilliant, Edie, Falko's role. And then they call me back. And I went in for Charmain Bucco, and I got called the next day for that. They said, you know, David wants to give you Charmaine Bucco. So I was blessed. Again, blessed. unbelievably blessed.

You did great on that show. You were great. Thank you. Thank you. And now we're here. You know what I'm saying? I'm sorry you're not going to go to the premiere. I would love to see you.

I heard from Vinny last night. Well, no, you know what? Wait, let me tell you, I think we're all, I mean, I'm invited to be many saints of noise. Yes, yes. Premier, but I may have to go back to the show that I'm blonde for. If I don't, I definitely want to come. and I want to see everybody.

I would hope all the soprano's gone. I love to see. We all love seeing each other. And I get to see you. Yes. No, they're all supposed to go. I heard from Vinny last night. And he said he'll see me at the premiere.

I heard from a friend of Sharipas. He's going. So yeah, everybody's going to be there. And I'm so happy. I, you understand, I did The Wizard of Lies with Alessandro. Yes, yes. And I, me and Alessandro, I, love him and I love his wife and I love their family and I just am so happy for him.

I am so happy for Michael. I'm happy for David Chase. He's unbelievable. He don't stop. I'm just really happy about this movie. I'm happy for you. I'm just, it's so, everything's a win-win. Yes.

I'm happy for Dave. I'm really happy for Michael. and I think I hate talking shit but I think Alessandro is going to come out with an award from this fucking thing

or at least a nomination Yes when he got it Yes he's going to be I think this is a good movie I think they all did well You saw it?

Yeah I saw it about three months ago But I think it's going to be different In all honesty How did you like yourself In all honesty, I looked away. Why?

I hate looking at myself on film. You want to know, could I say something? You told me about the, not me, you told the whole world, the three things, the three things you, you know, are appreciating. Yes. Great, grateful for. I'm going to tell you something. When you watch yourself, watch it again,

going with a different perspective and love yourself and say, wow, self, you're doing pretty fucking good from a kid from fucking nothing. Look at you up there. Look at you. Look at your eyes.

Look at your mouth. Look at your nose. Your ears. Your hair. Look at your body. You're up there. You're in a beautiful movie. You're so blessed.

Look at you, kid. Look at you, kid. Look how good you're doing now. And look at yourself beautifully. Because all that put together made them hire you and appreciate it. Let that be one of the things. I appreciate me on a screen with all these fabulous people. I appreciate me being able to be seen and heard.

I appreciate me to be doing what I love. I appreciate it. I appreciate my face, my body. That's what got me there. I'm healthy. I see. I breathe. I taste.

I hear. I have, you know, All these things, all these things that put me together, me, me, me. I appreciate you. I appreciate you, Joey. I appreciate you. And let your little inner child that was beaten up and broken down. Look up at that screen and say, we did it.

That's fucking beautiful. That is as beautiful as it gets. We did it. We did it. We fucking did it. And I don't care if it goes nowhere. or you never work again. You fucking did it.

You're fucking inner child that strives to keep going. The sparkle in your eye. The honesty you have. All the things that make you did it. So look at it again differently. I'm like you, Catherine. Right here.

It's all about this, right here. That's me and my mom. She died when I was 16, and this is it right here. She wanted me to grow up and be a man. I did. That's it. What's her name?

De Nora. Lenora? De Nora. De Nora. With a Dina. De Nora. He did it. We did it.

We fucking did it. De Nora and Bunny. My mother was bunny and she's up there too. And Nikki, my father. But I don't care. Scrappy kids from nothing. I don't care how big or small. We're trying.

Give yourself a fucking hug. Give yourself a break. Give yourself a little pat on the shoulder. Appreciate the little moments because that's your life right there, right now, this moment. It's every single step we take. It's our life. That's it. Can't keep waiting for the big event, the big this, the big apartment.

My biggest, my most happiest times is when I fucking had nothing. You know, as a kid, I was homeless a couple of times. We slept in Central Park on newspapers. And very short period of time, like two weeks. Then again, we did it for a week. And I got to tell you, we got evicted. I was still so fucking happy. Like, what the fuck is?

Am I stupid? Like, I just feel you've got to appreciate your life. The good, the bad, the ugly. It's your fucking life. And then it's over. Then it's over. And right now, it's like you're here. Appreciate.

And you're not going to be Miss Happy Go Lucky or Mr. Happy Go Lucky all day every day and appreciate. But try, try, try to just appreciate it like you looking at yourself on screen. Look again, man. Look again. Do that little Joey Diaz fucking 10-year-old that was going through a shit. Look again and go, man, what the fuck? You got up there. We did it.

We did it. That's it. It's to be appreciated. I really appreciate it now. Now you really gave me a different appreciation for it. Yes. I love you. You made a mock in this world.

You really fucking, this is one of the best podcasts I've done in a long goddamn time. Oh, don't make me cry. You fucking schooled me today. I love it. I am blown away. I had tears in my eyes. You made me think about my mom. You really.

fucking hit out of the park. That was great. You are a fucking star. I appreciate you with all my fucking heart. I would watch you and go, wow, she's bringing something different to the table, and now I know what it is you're bringing to the table.
