Lee Syatt, Hanuk is over.
Yom Kippur is over.
Fuck it.
Lent is on the way, Lee.

There's nothing to look forward to.
All we have is Passover and that sucks.
What's happening, Nicky?
All right, buddy.
Great to be here.
Great to have you.
It's making a better year.
He showed up at wine, bread, fucking sauce.
We're going deep into the murky waters.
We've been eating stars.
Lee didn't get sick tonight.
They were out of chocolate.
He left out.
They were out of these.
I told you, I tried my first chocolate in Seattle.
And what did you think?
So in Seattle, you just walk in from the street.
Yeah, you just walk in and said, it just said, like, you know, I don't know what it's, it just looked like, you know, said, come in.
And you lived in downtown, so you were downtown.
No, I was in the suburbs.
Kent Washington.
Kent Washington.
It was like right up the street.
I got arrested there.
Did you?
Yeah, one of those places.
Possession of stolen car, but the car wasn't stolen.
That'll let me go up to three days.
They didn't let you go.
But they kept me in there for 72 fucking hours because they pinched me on a Friday, those cock suckers.
Yeah, but that's why you've got to make a move so you don't have to spend the whole weekend.
No, I had to go in front of a judge.
You know, my cousin one time, he made out that he was having a heart attack.
On a Friday, he got pinched.
So then he spent the whole weekend.
He threw himself on the ground and faked a heart attack.
And then because he knew he would have been in jail all weekends.
It sucks, Dick.
I know.
That's the time when you got plans and shit for the weekend.
There you are in county jail is 6 o'clock and shit.
Oh, my God.
Your fucking pages going off.
Oh, my God.
I wouldn't know.
I got pinched on Fridays for like fucking years.
The worst one was I got paid.
I was with my girlfriend also in the fucking car walk.
She starts to fight and she rips up half the fucking check.
And I take her from him and some guy goes, hey, leave her alone.
I didn't do none.
Oh, you were having a fucking.
And then somebody...
Yeah, in Seattle.
And I had to hide in the dumpster.
And the cops were looking for me all afternoon.
And when I got out of the dumpster, I walked 10 feet, and there the cops waiting for him.
Wow.
What a fucking nightmare.
Seattle's a freaking strange town.
I'm not allowed back up there.
I got used to it, but it's a strange.
Strange, man.
Very bohemian.
The Malook.
Yeah.
Listen, it's the Bremeneton, Washington is the deepest point.
That's where my dad was in the Navy.
Yeah, because it's the deepest point.
That's where the submarines are.
They got pretty girls up there.
No, Bremitton is great.
The guys are all...
They're all...
They're all...
They all look very, like...
My...
My stepbrothers' uncle lives all the way up there.
When I went up there, Robert Ronnie, I fucking contacted him one time.
There's 94-95.
You know, I used to go to Brementon.
But it's a growing city, man.
Oh, yeah, now it's got...
It's smart.
All that, you know, all those...
All that Navy money.
All that...
Computer guys are up there, you know.
There's all that...
Was it Amazon or who's up there?
Everybody's up there, right?
Everybody's up there.
I wouldn't know.
I'm not.
a lot up there 1995 you can't go you're banned this is 90 so 20 years now I'm 20 fucking
years I still got that warrant out wow it's a non extraditional warrant they could only arrest me
if they find me in the state of Washington in that state they won't come and get so you don't do
no comedy there fuck no no I don't go nowhere I got the malook put on me oh it was like let me
tell you something it was like I was going through a rough patch in my life and then I moved to
Seattle and I didn't know
what Maloic was until I moved.
Like I thought I was going to...
I was like on a two-year skid.
Mm-hmm.
On a two-year skid of debt.
Yeah.
And I finally moved to Seattle
and I get pinched five times
and 18 fucking month.
What did you get pinchful?
You name it.
Assault, possession of stolen car,
fucking violating.
It was a fuck.
And it all started with a jaywalking ticket.
Why'd you go there anyway?
Because I met a girl.
Oh.
Why the fuck would anybody go to Seattle?
Me too.
I met a girl.
I know.
I don't think I ever would have went to that place.
My father used to talk about it because he was in the Navy.
And he stopped there and I asked my mom.
I said, why does he always talk about that watch?
Because he probably shacked up with some girls when he was young.
He was a good-looking guy.
Always talked about Washington, Washington.
The first few times I was like, I hate this place.
It's weird.
It took me a while to, like, you know, kind of embrace it.
I went up there at the time for comedy and for this girl.
So I moved in with her and I got a place.
and then I just did comedy.
And compared to where I was living in Denver
in Boulder at the time,
this was, I was going out every night.
They had comedy every fucking night.
Every night they had comedy somewhere.
Kent, Burlington,
what's all the way up there?
Brementon.
Brementon.
No, no, no, Bellingham.
Bellingham.
Yeah.
There was a lady who booked every single,
like they have these Mexican chains around here.
Like, what's the taco place?
We go to.
We go to cactus.
Cactus, okay?
Cactus.
have 11 restaurants and all of them would do comedy.
So the one in Kent would do comedy,
the one in East,
and over the bridge in the east side of Seattle would do comedy.
The one in Tacoma would do comedy.
The one in Portland, like close to Portland would do comedy.
I forget what they would call Lowe-something Mexican restaurant.
So there was actually every fucking.
Different vibe.
Northwest is really different.
And when you're doing it in a restaurant,
are you doing it at like a bar?
Like, what are you...
At the fucking bar, Lee.
Okay, and how many people would come to, like, a Mexican restaurant?
14.
15 tops.
What was your act like back then?
Just God awful.
Really?
God awful.
What'd you talk about?
Who the fuck knows?
Killing people and kidnapping people and selling drugs?
A lot of serial killers up there, you know, the Green Lake guy.
Oh, yeah, Bundy.
Yeah, Bundy.
Yeah, Bundy was up in Seattle.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, intelligent but dark, crazy people.
Well, that people.
place a lot of people ice themselves up there than Buffalo yeah Buffalo too it's the same type of
but I look at that nice of city in Buffalo yeah well and I like Buffalo I'm a Buffalo I'm a
I'm a rough and rugged I'm a Rick James type of motherfucker you know what I'm a yeah you know but I take it
like I'm a wing dude I like the the beef on wings are good the beef on you ever seen that movie is
Buffalo 66 good movie is it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he's a guy Vincy Gallo what
happened to him.
Lost his mind.
He lost his mind.
Yeah, he was crazy as it was.
That's why he made a movie where he had a girl like, you know, actually do something to
him on camera for real.
It's in the movie.
It's called Bugs Bunny or something.
And he's definitely out there.
He was a talented guy.
Yeah, that's why he was so.
I love that movie.
I love that movie.
That's why Vincent Gazzar is in it.
He plays the father.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh my God.
Angelica Houston is the mother wearing the Bill's jacket.
That's right.
Yeah.
Watch that again.
I used to stop in Buffalo to go to Toronto
I was doing a movie I didn't have a passport
So I used to go I could get in from Buffalo to Toronto
Like with a bird certificate
This is before 9-11
Yeah
Before 9-11 you could fucking wave at them
I never went through the border
Because in fact I gotta call this kid
He called me Irish day to the Puerto Rican girl in my
How fucked up is this?
I'm talking to the waiter at the Miami Improv
And I go dog I gotta work in fucking Buffalo
next week and then I got to jump over to Canada and work Toronto.
I don't think they don't let me over.
This is way before 9-11.
And he goes, bro, I could get you in like that.
Like, what are you talking about?
It was my girl's father.
This is how nice these Puerto Ricans were.
I flew from Miami to Buffalo.
They picked me up, took me to their home,
let me take a shower and change.
They made a big Puerto Rican meal.
Tortillas.
He told him my mother died.
They made gondulis, the whole fucking deal.
Then the father was a gambler.
So he had a pass into this casino
So to go into this casino
You kind of went over the border
But they didn't really say nothing to you
As long as you had a sticker
And you were going to go gamble
And that's what he would do
He would make believe like he'd go park
We'd make a U-turn
He'd take me all the way to the bus station
And the first city
There's a little city
When you first get over Buffalo
I forget what it's called
And I would take the bus to Toronto
And then when I would come back
I would go through immigration
And they would lose their mind
Oh, yeah.
They'd do a background check and I said, when would you get in here?
And I got in here last Thursday.
Here's my documentation.
I did the fucking paperwork.
Right.
I didn't do the paperwork.
I'd have the paperwork from the comedy club.
Yeah.
And they'd lose their mind.
You couldn't have gotten in here.
What are you talking about?
Anything I fucking got in here.
Yeah.
I did that about three times.
And then one time before 9-11, they got me going in.
They said, no, you can't go in there.
Can't go.
And I went and got a hotel in Detroit.
like in the worst part of Detroit,
I probably had 300 on me.
So I said, I got no money for a Hilton.
So I said, take me to the darkest part of fucking Detroit.
I think I'm kidding you.
And he took me downtown.
He goes, now the hotel's at $35.
I said, perfect.
And I got a fucking, this is true.
Oh, my God, this is a fucked up story.
And I fucking take the cab.
He puts me to this hotel.
But on the way to the hotel, I see Coco's Comedy Club.
and I had a bunch of friends
from Detroit that were out here
that were all Comedy Club Cocoa
and I go, oh my God,
three blocks away.
So I went up there the first night,
boom, I saw Mimi Gonzalez
a little Cuban lesbian chick.
And she goes, I got no place to stay.
Fuck it, I got two beds.
Give me 1750.
I'm surprised she didn't get her
for like the whole 30.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
She gave me 1750 like a motherfucker.
She took a shower
the next day she went somewhere.
I don't know where the fuck she went.
What year was that?
Ninety-nine.
Mm, 99.
Summer of 99 before Montreal.
Man, time is flown by.
It really has, man.
Can't believe it's 2017.
Can't believe it.
It's freaking.
What did you do, 2000?
2000.
Yeah, what'd you do?
2000 for New Year's.
2000, let's see.
Did you think the Martians were coming in and shit?
Well, the Yankees won the World Series.
I remember that year.
Subway Series.
2000.
Yeah, it must have been a decent year.
Those were good years for me back then.
Those were better times
I was going back and forth
LA and New York
and Yankees Mets
That was good
I flew all the way from Canada
To see the closing game
I flew like five hours
And I drove five hours
I was in Canada
Some place called Ossoyo
Doing some rinky dink movie
I got off
And I drove five hours to Seattle
And dropped my kids off
And then boom
And then flew five
So I traveled like 10 hours
For one game
I said they better fucking clinch
I didn't come this far to lose
I'll fucking kill them if they lose
I'm at Shea Stadium I'm gonna celebrate tonight
And the Yankees
Tough game
But they put them away
We celebrated it at Shea
I love sticking it to the Mets
At Shea
It was a great feeling
Because I felt like I willed them
I said I came this far
Not to lose
There's no way I'm fucking losing
Like I'm playing
I wasn't playing but I'm taking it personal
And you know
And the Yankees did one
They pulled it out Louis Soho
With a little hit man
You know what that sounds like to me
That sounds like when the Rettas
Came back 3 to 1 against the Yankees
Three-0.
Yeah, that's a little different.
Look at Lee, throwing salt in the wounds.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Look at Lee,
throwing salt in the woods.
It was their time.
This guy's a real fucking Yankee fan.
It was their time.
Not no Opie dog fucking fan.
This is the real deal.
There's some Hollywood guys.
They were all like...
You threw salt in the fucking wound, Lee.
No, that's okay.
See, he could rebeoke and tell you,
remember two words,
Bucky Dent.
He can revoke.
I can say a lot of things.
He can say, Aaron Boone.
I could say a lot of things.
I can say 86, Bill Buck.

It really is.
You don't knock down.
You don't tear down a shrine.
You see the Red Sides?
They don't knock down, Fenway.
Never.
The Cubs wouldn't tear it, Wrigley.
You don't do that.
They moved across the street.
I never felt the same.
I swear to God, I never felt the same.
I don't.
I'm still fucking angry.
I'm really angry.
That place is like an imposter.
What do you think about the ballparks out here, neck?
I hate them.
I don't think that.
At least in Southern California, I don't like them.
At Dodger Stadium is not bad.
It's not bad.
It's set in the canyons.
Well, yeah, that is pretty.
I mean, it is pretty.
That's true.
It is pretty.
I remember when I first came out here with my agent,
funny guy, he was taking me to the Dodger games.
Burbank high, baby.
I was like, what's Burbank?
This is where he went to high school.
He was so excited to take me a Dodger dog.
But the food sucks.
Oh, the food is on.
She wouldn't feed them to a dog.
The fucking dodger dog.
They got to get a new fucking hot dog.
And you always buy one to see if they change.
You buy it into them.
Oh, that farmer John.
Oh, you can ask my son.
It's terrible.
Terrible.
At least the Yankees is ready to get a shit, you know,
bullshit ball.
Listen, dog.
Let me tell you something.
I heard they got a fucking cheese steak, a Yankee steak.
Oh, to die for.
It's to fucking die for.
I have friends that go to the Yankee game just to get the fucking steak.
The cheese steak is slamming.
Slamming.
Slamming a Yankee Stadium.
Then you got the Nathan's hot dog.
Great hot dog.
They say you miss a whole inning, but it's worth the fucking weight.
But the best hot dog is the one you have on the street.
It's called it a subrette.
I got them at the house.
Oh, they're great.
I get them at the house.
You can have, you can boil those in sourcrout.
and must that's like you eat a hot dog yeah yeah I boil people over here on my kids this one
talking about fucking ketchup on a hot dog I said mustard is for the hot dog yeah no you ruin
the whole fucking hot dog you gotta have mustard and sourcrow don't put no fucking ketchup on that gets

the way that came from this guy puts fucking ketchup you put ketchup no no no I put mustard but I can't
put mustard sometimes they'll do a plane because every time I put mustard
just means that's going on my shirt.
Get the mustard in the sour crowd, Lee.
That's what makes it.
I make them, I get the sour crowd.
You don't eat the...
I've never seen you with sourcrown.
At the house.
Oh, it's good.
I put the fucking sap.
My wife throws them in there.
We get the sad bread buns.
So you get the subrette?
I go deep.
You find them?
You can find them?
Yeah.
I knew a guy that knew a guy that just sends them to me down.
Yeah.
Fuck it overnight.
It's great.
And the buns are a little, little stick.
Yeah, to see the steak I made the other night.
That's why we need to get those things that the guys carry around at the game.
so you can steam the buns and all the same time.
You just want a simple hot dog.
You know, Fenway Park, they got this bread that's great.
It's like Wonder Bread.
Remember Wonder Bread back in the day?
There's good bread.
How is it now?
Still good.
It's still good.
Peanut butter and jelly.
But you notice.
Wonder Bread is tremendous.
No, but these bread today, it lasts.
They've got all kinds of preservatives.
And that's why the bread lasts for weeks.
It's weird.
And don't buy bread at Target because I take six weeks old and shit.
You get it.
When you put the peanut butter on it,
It sticks to the fucking thing of the bread breaks.
What's better than white bread with peanut butter?
If you're hungry, if you're starving.
That's the fucking sandwich, right?
I had to break that addiction.
Like, I lost 10 pounds because I stopped eating peanut butter.
If there was peanut butter at my house, I would fucking stick my finger in it and just lick it.
I get so high at night, I couldn't control myself.
No, I'm a jiff type of motherfucker.
You're a jiffy.
I'm a jiff type of motherfucker.
Creamy, but no fucking peanut one.
No, I don't want no peanuts.
I got dentures.
Yeah.
I got a fuck the peanut in your shit, right?
You just take shits like that.
No, I don't want to look at my shit.
I used to take shit.
That's why I got a bidet.
Oh, you get the bidet.
I do it with the thing in the shower.
When I was a kid, I was a creepy kid.
I took it out and broken it.
I wish I had a bidet.
I like cleaning that ass.
Feels good.
I didn't even know when I went to Italy, you know, I said, I looked at
what is this shit?
I was a young guy.
She goes, that's to clean your ass.
I never saw.
I didn't know what I thought it was another toilet.
It just too she get one.
Tushy.com.
Because I'm always wiping,
wiping, wiping.
No, this is tremendous.
This takes care of the hemorrhoey.
Tushy.com?
Hello, Tushy.com.
Oh, I need it.
It washes behind the nut sack.
You can put it on pot,
and it steams like a dry cleaner.
You're like,
ah, that type of shit.
But steam comes out.
Really?
There's no germs.
And you dip the helmet in there, too.
While you're at it,
you do a little,
Aguamida,
you know what I'm saying?
Sometimes you need a little Puerto Rican shower.
Oh, man.
That's the original.
Puerto Rican shower. That's what the Puerto Rican shower. These people out here think washing
your face and wetting your hair is a Puerto Rican shower. That's the byproduct of the Puerto Rican shower.
Right. The original Puerto Rican shower is washing that muffler, wiping the Nutsack,
cleaning the helmet, putting some polishing shine, taking that dead piece smell off the helmet.
Yeah, but you do it with a face cloth. I read the entire instruction booklet. There's nothing
about the Nutsack or anything, all that. And where? In the Hello Tush? Because they have no
imagination. See, that's what I'm here for. I'm Johnny imagination. You know what I'm saying? You got to have
imagination. You got water sprinkling up. It hits your asshole and it feels good. So if it's hitting
your asshole at a certain power, okay? What do you think is going to hit your, what do you think
it's going to feel like when it hits your nutsack like that? And all you got to do is just move
back a quarter inch. That's it. You'll feel it hitting your knutsack and you move your feet.
Make sure your hips are over your knees. You know what I'm
And you do that little shake right there, and it's all over, but the shout.
And then you move back another inch.
Use it all every day.
Every day.
In the middle of the day, you got to wash your muffler.
Yeah.
I'm 2.98.
You got to clean that muffler, you know what I'm saying?
I like to start my day with it.
You got to start my day with it.
Well, no, why are you going to start your day with if you're going to take a shower?
Well, I don't take a shower right away.
I'm going to work.
Oh, no, no.
When you work out in the morning, you wash your muffler.
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh, yeah.
I don't blame you.
I'm not mad at you don't.
Yeah.
You got to be fresh.
Yeah.
You ever go to Starbucks?
You stand in front of a chick, hot chick,
but a hair, the back of the hair looks like a rat's nest.
This dirty bitch went out.
Her pussy smells like a condom,
and she's standing on line waiting for a fucking latte acting like she don't know nobody.
You got to clean up.
I can't stand dirty people.
I love washing three times a day.
I got a shower when I use it.
That shit about a drought, save that for these fucking Gentiles.
I take showers, Jack.
I don't give a fuck.
I love the bathroom.
I love the bathroom.
That's why I put my robe on.
That's why I focus in the shower.
I smoke a tutu-so-roots.
Yeah.
I get in that fucking shower.
I play scrubby dub-dub.
I let the fungi toenail get nice and sore.
I get caught under it.
I'm overdue.
I live it that toe and it's stuffed with fungi.
So tomorrow at the casino, I'm going to sit in that shower.
I'm bringing the heavy-duty nail clippers.
Nice.
And I cut them right in the shower.
You like the old-school soap or you like the liquid?
I bring my own soap.
Your own soap.
I bring my own fucking whatever that one.
You have a favorite?
Yeah, the blue one.
It smells nice.
I take the same.
drop clothed I fucking wash
I washed the muffler good
I got a little loose shampoo every day
yeah I shampoo the hair
condition look at me I got 10 hairs
left I gotta wash them every day
I gotta let them know I love them you know what I'm saying
before they abandon ship I gotta let them know
I love them you can't be walking around with dirty hair
what do you wear for the under
under arm you know just unscented
oh you don't like any I like old school

You smell good.
No, just under here.
I put whatever, unscented, the good stuff.
Unsented.
You use lotion.
Do you lotion your body?
Sometimes I'm a lotion guy, but I don't lotion my stomach.
No.
I lotion from the kneecap down, the foot.
You know what I'm saying?
That type of shit.
What about bats?
You like bats still?
What are you fucking...
I'm just talking about that.
What are you heavy breathing?
I'm just saying...
Oh, I'm just saying...
Bamb!
I love the bathroom, you know what?
I like a bath, but when I have a bath, I'm sitting there thinking, I don't know,
I like when it's a bigger shower that I could sit on the floor and stretch out.
What if I have a bench in it that you could sit down in?
Yeah, but that means I got to sit where a thousand other people put their fucking assholes and shit.
You built a bathroom.
I always take like a little towel to put my asshole on, so I don't get fungus.
And I sit on the floor and get the longest distance of the shower.
It steams up.
I get the blackheads out.
Steam is the best.
It's the best thing.
If you can put a steam in your shower, I'd way better than the sauna,
but there's nothing like taking a steam.
Sitting in a steam shower, steam room, I love that.
I wish I could move into a place like a building that has like that.
There's a building of Marina del Rey.
It's expensive, but there's everything there.
You don't have to leave there.
Oh, yeah, that would be gone.
Supermarket, the movie theater, the Taylor, the Baker, Rouse is in there, Bank of America's in there.
That's what I need.
It's down.
I mean, yeah, I need something because I'm getting old now.
I'm almost 55.
That's where all the old people moved.
That's what I need, man.
Is it a good deal to move in there?
I don't know.
I think you got to buy the condo when somebody's got to die.
You got to go on a list.
Really?
I knew this guy about fucking 15 years ago.
I'm at the laugh factory one night and this guy comes up to me.
It's got to be 60 years old.
He says, my name is Mike.
I'm from the Bronx.
You killed me tonight.
He goes, nobody else laugh.
I was the only guy howling because I got every word you said I go how long you've been out of he said 30 years
I go 35 ago what are you been doing he goes you have another show remington steel and I go yeah he goes I'm the
creator wow he goes I'm out here tonight was looking for a different girl for a show but it's really
nice to meet you who's your agent I told my agent he goes I'm gonna be in touch of you man he goes you know
anything about bookmaking what you were talking about yeah contact me six months later he did
He would take me out to lunch in Hollywood,
and we'd talk about bookmaking,
and he'd take notes for me and stuff.
Mm-hmm.
And then when day he invited me to his home,
he goes, do you want to come down to Marina D'Orain and write a little with me?
And I went all the way down there,
and I got unfucking believable.
You pull up, valet parking.
Is it called the Bella Fontaine?
Something like that.
And it's huge.
It looks like a stadium.
You found it Lee?
The one beds start out 2435,
and three beds are 41,30.
4131 a month how much four thousand one hundred and thirty dollars for how many bedrooms three that's not bad
how is it and what they got they got everything there right uh it says they have uh explore the marina
marketplace and all the local favorites such as gelson's market where we have the convenience
at your doorstep without the bus of the city everything they got everything down there it's it's uh
so i went down there a couple times right cool dude
we went and pitched
we couldn't sell it you know
it was just a little too edgy
there was no internet then there was nothing then
you know we went to USA
we went to FX 16
whatever that is FX 18
we went to a couple places
but he still kept in touch with me
but the other thing I didn't know
was that he was writing
all those movies at lifetime
all those years
excuse me those are the weirdest
scripts because in those days
somebody signs you a lifetime
and you just keep writing movies from him
so he was Dick Van Dyke
all right his Dick Van Dyke and his son
so
you know I'm moving I'm on my business
and also I got a call
and it's Mike and he goes Doug
I got work for you three days
on the movie you're playing a bookie he goes I wrote
the role in it's a Dick Van Dyke
movie they're going to bust you him and the son
so he wrote me into this movie
he knew I was a Dick Van Dyke fan
You know, he got me on the set for three days.
That's nice.
This company was very interesting.
They shot a movie every eight weeks.
They took a week off, and they'd started a movie.
Was it one of those, like, beam movies, maybe?
It was all lifetime.
Okay, yeah.
They just shot all lifetime.
This has to be 2002, 2003.
I was talking to the guy, and I'll tell you, they told you in the beginning.
Listen, if you want.
want to do this, you could do this if you know, we pay a scale.
Listen, we've had everybody do this.
So don't give me your song and dance.
Everybody did these things.
Like the one I did had fucking people in it.
Like, I forget who it was.
I didn't give a fuck because it had Dick Van Dyke.
Right.
And he was cool as shit and his father and his son, his son and not his father.
But you know what these people did that?
I never forgot about them.
I worked three days and all three days.
There was a basket, a present.
all three days
and a bottle of champagne
nice it cost to make dollars
yeah but when you get treated you understand me
I never ever forgot these guys
and in fact we shot at a bar and they go
we're just gonna take over the bar and drink
and one of the guys was smoking dope and the director
was smoking dope and I go you guys
smoke pot with dick man dikewarm
he goes he's an a hey guy he don't give a fuck
about weed
so that's but they shot
a movie Lee
every eight weeks
one week off.
Were they writing them too?
Probably.
They were just a machine.
They probably had it down to the science.
They had it down to a science.
Were they like the,
it was kind of like Dick Wolf did specials.
They did Lifetime movies?
Oh, they probably made billions.
So they were just right for Nick Tuturo.
So it would be, Nick's got a sixth movie deal,
a six-picture deal.
So Nick's going to do three this year and three next year.
But we also have the chick from,
chick from CBS
they had her at the time
so it's her
so you would basically work for eight weeks
then you'd have nine weeks off
you would work eight weeks
then you'd have nine weeks off
that was the rotation right
pretty fucking cool yeah
and I talked to the guys and guys like dog
we just come back and blasted
no overtime by the way
seven to five
no overtime they didn't need overtime
no they were so good no overtime
quick looks
People are smart.
Yeah, quick looks, quick.
They were two, they framed two ahead.
They were like a soap opera type fucking angle.
I was a project into eight million of them.
That sounds like your dream.
You know what, man?
He got me one.
And then he offered me one day and another one like a year later.
Did he give you a good one?
Like a good?
The booky one was good.
I still got the real.
Yeah.
I weigh about 400 pounds.
Did they pay like, they must have paid the top star as something?
The company, it was really weird because he was saying, you know, this company, this is what they do.
Because like years ago, man, you know, when I was first on NYPD
Blue, I got like a movie at a week. I remember, I couldn't believe like an offer came in.
It was like, and I, I basically turned it down because I was going to do a play.
It was a lot of money. And then I was saying, oh, man, I fucked up. Why did I do that?
And then they went to Matthew Perry and then he didn't want to do it. So I was able to get it
back. I was like, man, I was almost going to blow, you know, 125,000 or something to start like
a movie at a week. But you could make some nice coin.
and your hiatus back then if you were on TV you had a TV name so right away you were you know
a commodity you know but you can't you can't find that shit today don't matter who you are and you know
they bring them they don't do the movie of the weeks and all that shit don't do them nobody's doing
that they get away with those things you know I mean now you got to go and fight for guest spots
guess what he's going through changes I just caught it's the beginning stages is he yeah
what's going on with him you can just look all over
Yeah.
You can see him like, he gets very sad.
He thinks that he thinks of Jerusalem.
Really?
He thinks of the old country.
Yeah.
He gets all sad and shit.
Someone stole my credit card and tried to buy Jamaican food.
So it was a bad night.
When was that?
What was this?
Last night.
$38 of Jamaican food.
Oh, really?
I don't know.
Then they knew it wasn't me.
They did?
Yeah.
They knew I wasn't eating Jamaican food.
So, at least my credit card.
company. I mean, listen, listen.
That's all right.
Let's pretend that
they caught it. And also
they go, all right, type up lease I am.
A picture you came up with that shirt on.
Looking like you do right now.
And they said, let me ask you a question.
Does this guy look like he gets Jamaican food?
What do you think the question of me?
No, he gets good food.
I can tell he knows what he likes.
And he's never been to a Jamaican restaurant before
in New York.
Bullshit on this shit. That wine
with the edible fucking makes this feeling
like mushrooms yeah yeah yeah I like it's a little peanut I like it it's very nice yeah did
you finish your wine only absolutely I like you know my favorite did you another star
yeah of course well sure when do you drink one I never I drink I hey I don't but when I do I
I like peanut let me ask you something how many tutorials are there in the acting business
there's my brother there's Aida my cousin me and uh yeah my
My son and my daughter, you know, interested, but she's more interested.
I mean, she's interested more on music.
But there's three of us that I know of.
She had another sister who was talented, I eat her, but she didn't really make a living at it.
She was a musical theater girl.
But as far as I know, the three of us, yeah.
You weren't one of those acting class dudes.
No, no.
You didn't get down to the South Village and meet with Monaco.
No, I was a freaking.
theater major for one year running around in tights and I didn't like it and all the kids I thought
they were all kind of you know funook you know so I was like the same for me I I got to put tights on
and stretch and I was making noises in the class and one of my friends who liked was one guy liked me
none of those people made it it's so funny you know and I did it one year there and vocal
me me me me me me me my oh like my brother does all that shit I'm like I just did
I didn't, not that I didn't want to act, I just didn't like all that theatrical theater kids.
So, you know, after one year, I said, I'm not coming back.
This is not, this is not what I thought, you know, acting was.
But I think I wasn't that, I wasn't totally committed then.
When I got committed later on, I learned on the job, you know, I didn't have all the classical.
I took a class with this guy, Bob Modica, but him I liked because he wasn't like your typical
acting teacher.
It was like if my father became an acting teacher, he was a bit insane.
He had these distors coffee with a switchblade.
And you would have to do this exercise called the repetition.
And he would speak like this.
And you basically have to put your attention on somebody.
They put their attention on you.
And you have to be honest.
So you might say like, well, they might say like, you're angry.
You know, you have to be truthful.
I'm angry.
Yes.
You're angry.
Yes.
I'm angry.
You're angry.
Right.
I'm angry.
Yes.
You're angry.
Yes.
I'm angry.
That bothers you.
Yes, it bothers me.
It bothers you.
Yes, it bothers me.
It bothers you.
Yes, it bothers you.
But you had to stay in the moment.
But if you were fake,
Modica would be like,
that's not it.
He would stop the exercise.
But sometimes, like,
if you didn't know what to say,
he would write on a piece of paper.
Now, where was this at?
This was in Carnegie Hall.
He was great, this guy.
How much a month?
Robert X, Modica.
Back then,
it might have been like it was kind of big
it was expensive back then maybe
150 a month or 200
I don't remember but he took a liking to me
because he knew I was kind of like raw and I was like a caveman
because he didn't remember he talked to my
because my brother studied with him a little bit
and he played football against him and his brother
against my uncle Tony
it's a weird that we found this guy Modica
he actually was almost in the godfather
he was almost Sonny Corleone
because of Coppola
I spoke to Copla.
He said he loved Bob Modica, this guy.
He had a little acting career,
but he really teaching was his thing.
But I loved him because it was like my father,
he was forceful, but educated.
Like, you know, he'd tell you sometimes to go outside.
He was like an idea, he'd say,
go outside and take a walk
and figure out why you're coming to the door.
Don't come until you know.
Right?
So one time I fucking like disappeared for 15 minutes.
He came looking for me.
He goes, you got to come back.
And I said, I know Bob.
He goes, you know, no, you got to come back.
He liked me.
Because, you know, he was like, I told my brother, I don't know what that kid wants to do.
But he's interesting.
I used to come in with my doorman uniform.
He was like, hey, general.
I was a doorman around the corner.
He'd go, you're just in the neighborhood.
You figure to just stop by.
Because you have to try to get in when people were working.
you had to listen the door was a block
and said Robert X. Modica
It was kind of a scary door
and he's over there with the switchblade
and fucking moving the desk around.
He was a great guy.
He was actually in a movie with me,
Federal Hill.
He played like my dad.
I gave him a bath.
It was weird working with him
because then I became an actor
and I was like giving him
but in the classroom
he was great.
I mean, you know, like I say
but I more or less learned on the job.
I wasn't.
classically trained like
my brother and all that
it wasn't my thing
I don't knock it I think it's great
if I had to do it over
maybe I would do all that
all that shit you know
and work on my body
and learn how to stretch
that's why my brother
my brother you know
he slays on the ground
he stretches
and you know when you hear him do
his fucking vocal warm up
mah
me
it sounds crazy
I go what are you doing John
he said
I'm warming up.
Warming up my voice, Nick.
You know, I'm like, okay.
I did a play with him on time.
He was in the theater doing all those noises.
And he goes, come, come stretch with me.
Come stretch with me.
Oh, he's very funny.
You know, I did this whole epidural thing
because I have two bulging discs.
So I couldn't walk a couple weeks ago.
So he goes, I said, I'm having side effects.
And he goes, that's why you shouldn't do the needles.
And I said, John, John, I can't walk.
You understand?
that's a different story
but it's funny
I'll say something
he repeats it back
I'll say something he repeats it back
I'll try to tell him about my cataract too
I had a cataract surgery
so what kind of surgery
was it
was it a cataract wasn't it
you know it sounds like insane
we say goodbye to each other like this
all right neck I'll see you
all right love you
all right take it easy
bye bye John
bye bye bye
goodbye
goodbye all right
good hearing your voice
love you
we say goodbye for like five minutes
saying goodbye.
All right, bye-bye.
Did you grow up close to Aida?
No, you know, Aida was in Manhattan.
Her father was an artist.
So she grew up very different than us.
She grew up more like Bohemian.
Because my uncle, my father's brother, was a crazy artist.
Talented guy, very smart.
But all the other brothers were in construction.
So we grew up in the suburbs.
She actually grew up like in Manhattan and a synagogue.
She had a way different upbringing than me.
So is that why she was so good and there's a problem?
That's because it was her?
Yeah.
She's wild. You know, I wrote a little something that we're going to do this month.
And she is, she is freaking wild. I mean, she's talented, but she makes me look like I'm normal.
Her ADD is, ooh, she's off the wall when she gets going.
You know, so I've never really worked with her. I got to, my brother said, just make sure your hands are up.
Keep your hands up. He loves her. I love her too.
But she's, she's out there. You have to meet her. She's like, she's like you, toward the force.
Big presence, comes in the room, tears you apart.
She'll tear you apart.
You know, she tears you, I mean, she'll...
Sounds delightful.
I remember when I was auditioning for the Sopanos.
She is.
I mean it in affectionate way.
When I was auditioning for the Sopranos,
that was the big search at that time.
It wasn't that they were looking for characters
as much for a woman to play Tony's sister.
Oh, yeah.
He had a big to do with her.
He loved her.
They did a play on Broadway together,
and I think he fell in love with her.
And I heard he was a mensch of a guy.
He helped a lot of people.
He helped a lot of people.
He gave people money.
He helped the cast get more.
You don't find guys like that on television shows.
So she loved James.
And James loved her.
I think he fought for her.
He fought for her to get the part.
But they were great together.
They were great together.
I mean, that was iconic.
That is like that stuff, that sopranos,
I never seen anything like that.
I go through phases where I will not put it on
and then I'll put it on every night for a month.
Like this was the first holiday that I didn't put it on.
Like I usually put, I'll go crazy.
I'll do two seasons and three nights.
Wow.
You know, the Carmela parts, I'll speed through them.
She's good.
She's good, but if it's not necessary.
But he's the guy that drives the show.
I miss him.
You fucking love him.
He's one guy.
He was a special guy.
He was at my mother's funeral.
I'll tell you, John directed him in a movie.
and you could tell he was a special guy.
He had a big soul, that guy.
You could tell.
He saw this one movie and I broke down crying.
He goes, it was about my family
and he actually played like my dad.
And yeah, I didn't know him that well,
but he goes, that movie affected you, huh?
I said, yeah, he had no fucking idea
how it affected me, but you could tell he was a deep guy,
dark guy, deep guy, but people loved him.
I mean, it's a shame that he passed so young,
man was a shame because so talented too
but yeah she I mean you know
she's great I mean she's uh
it's gonna be fun to work with her I haven't
I will see how it's gonna
I've never really like done anything with her
so this is kind of funny she was texting me today
like I need to talk to you I need to know
I'm like I'm playing a cool I'm like yeah all right
we'll talk we'll talk so I wrote something for her
you know but I mean I think she should be doing much more
she's very funny too
they don't know how to use her
You know this industry?
Like they don't know how to use people.
What has she been doing since the surprise?
She's been doing little guest spots, this, that, but she's so much.
I saw her on this Brooklyn 9-9 and she's like, she's great.
And then they chop it up.
You know, sometimes you do a TV show, they just chop you.
They chop it up.
It's so choppy.
I was helping her memorize her lines at home because she's like a little slow.
She likes to write her lines out.
And I just, I work faster because I'm just, I'm, that's how I worked in television.
You know, I always learned how to work fast.
for TV. But she's got her own, you know. For auditions now, Nick, it's a complete different game.
And it's so weird. I don't even know how to audition anymore. I don't even know how to audition anymore.
Like now this last one I went in for, I prepared so much for it on my own. I went over, over, over,
wrote it out, wrote it out, went to sleep, got up at four, went over it again after we dropped
mercy off me and my wife went over, over, over, over, over, over.
And it's like, I'm not disenchanted.
I just know that even though you go in there
and I've got somebody in mind,
I'm very nice that you brought me in.
Thank you very much.
But I'm not even in the fucking game anymore.
That's fine.
I mean, I'm not disappointed as much as I thought I would be, you know.
But no, no, I forgot how to do it.
That was my favorite part of it.
My thing was doing the work.
That's why I got pissed off.
It's not going to go to a wardrobe.
Of course, an audition is,
It's not a performance.
It's an audition.
Some guys are good at it.
Some may be better than others.
I'm really good at it. That's my thing.
I like going to do.
Yeah.
I mean, there are times that I love it.
And then there are other times I just feel like I'm all, you know, sometimes I'm, if I'm not there, I just sometimes go.
And then sometimes when I'm there, I really come out of there feeling like, wow, I did something.
You know, you know when you did something good.
And then you know when you're off.
Sometimes you're just off and sometimes you're on.
But I never think that that's.
like you know the final you know that's why like look at it as if you really want someone that's
not to tell all you know i've not been that lucky with auditions in my life i've gotten some i've
gotten some you know i mean i actually was a young young guy mypd bloer i only read for them
i never went to the and then had to go through that network that's horrible if you ever have to
test and you have to go you know to the studio that's a nightmare that's a nightmare that's a nightmare that's
nervous breakdown. That's what I did for a week.
No, I've seen guys that do it. And
I was with guys, when I had my own
pilot at CBS guys, I brought in
somebody like Billy Goddell. I was trying to get him hired
as my brother. Everybody goes,
he doesn't look like your brother.
I said, yeah, but maybe he's adopted.
I was like fighting for him. I was, you know,
and I remember, you know, in front of
them coming to the network and then you
hear what people say to, it's
terrible. You know, and I'm like, because
I've been on, you've been on the other side.
I knew what that was like, but that's
why I always like it gave my all with other actors when I was the few times that I ever was like
on that side of the fence it was interesting to see a lot of guys that come in you know there were
famous guys too they were like hey I read for you I said yeah I know they said you know you
didn't hire me I was like one time one of the Baldwin brothers said that to me I was like oh well
I didn't you know the guy was being a bit of a jerk so I let it go you know our auditions is it's a
weird thing it's a weird thing it's a
Amazing how good I got it to Nick, how I would take rooms and fucking demolish him.
That's great.
Four or five people in a room, I would fucking, the Peter Segal audition for the longest yard was a very blasé audition.
Yeah, it was.
Till this day, I don't know how I got it because the read was horrid.
Oh.
It was horrid.
I had sent the tape in and read with him.
No, I think my audition was okay.
It was, I mean, I didn't know what it was going to be.
I had no idea what that part was going to become.
The beauty of that part in Brucey is it became, on paper, it was nothing.
And Sandler added so many things for me.
Then 95% of it made the movie.
But really, on paper, Brucey was really not a big deal.
And it became a beautiful part.
But I got to give Adam because Adam was like, he fed me the ball.
Have the Toro say that.
He didn't know me that well.
But I went in there with an idea.
My brother told me that.
He goes, if he sees you're funny, he'll pick up on that.
Just go in there with something.
And that's why I went in blazing with the hair cut, the this, to that.
I didn't really know what I was going to do.
But it became a great part.
And it was nothing on paper.
What was your first big audition?
First big audition?
Like in front of it.
Like beside the Spike Lee movies.
Yeah.
Like in New York early.
I went like for my cousin Vinnie.
Really?
I was up for that.
I didn't get it.
Obviously, but who was the casting director?
Do you remember?
I forget.
It might have been a big one.
Yeah, Lynn something.
I forget his name.
He was actually a big...
Now, who else was up for that role
when you went down to the reed?
Who else did you see in that room?
I don't remember, you know,
who I saw or anything like that.
I just know that I was pretty...
I was almost in this movie alive,
a Frank Marshall movie.
That was a big audition.
They liked me a lot.
This movie where they all eat each other on the plane, the team.
So I was almost, I had a big scar on my head.
I remember, I got banged my head at 5 o'clock in the morning.
I had this big scar when I went in for that movie alive.
And I came close.
And I was close on an Oliver Stone movie.
I was a young guy.
He said, Oliver likes you.
He never picked up his head, born on the 4th of July.
It were like big movies that I was like, I was being like, you know, I know who I was
a good sign.
That was a good sign.
That people are like you.
They like you.
You like you.
Roar is a button, but they fucking like you.
And then I nailed a pilot the year before NYPD Blue.
I had with Whit Thomas.
It called me on the door.
And the guy goes, you got to get on the plane, baby.
I didn't like the...
I go, what?
Tomorrow morning you get a test.
I came out to L.A., man.
I was walking around this fucking Sunset Boulevard with a powder blue leisure suit.
This is what I wore.
I went to the CBS.
Jeff Saganzky was the president.
And I went in front of CBS with a powder blue leisure suit.
Peter Dobson was the star.
He had a lot of pilots back there.
Yeah.
And I had a hat on my head and I went back to my agents after the fucking,
I remember I was going up against this other guy from Chicago.
And the guy was a nice guy.
He goes, you're going to get the part, not me.
I said, I don't know.
I don't know shit.
And then my agent goes, well, they said, the guy said, you look like the lead guy.
I went crazy.
I said, what?
I don't look anything like that fucking guy.
You're not going to give it to me for it because I look like the guy.
The guy called the agency, Peter Dobson.
He lied me.
He said, don't worry, don't worry, you're going to get it.
Just go back home.
Let them bring in guys with blonde hair and blue eyes.
You watch, you're going to get this pilot.
I was so fucking angry.
I don't look nothing like you, Peter.
He goes, I know, I know.
I was so pissed, man.
I fucking went home.
I sweated it out.
Wait a second.
So Peter Dobson was the lead.
He was the lead.
He read with me in front of the network.
Some guy named Jeff Saganz.
the president
The president goes
He looks like him
And so
And when I went back to Abraham
I know I said
I don't look nothing like the motherfucker
Pete I don't look like you
He goes
I know
Just a yes to him and shake his hand
So fucking funny
And then they casted me
With Mitchell Woodfield
Who was in
Who was the other guy
Who was in my cousin Vinnie
And
And the funniest thing happened
To me in L.A
We were at the Formosa Cafe
with Peter Dobson and I'm fucking really naive and he goes hey Jody Forster's there and my brother
knew Jody Forster and I don't know I was gonna I was gonna go up to her and they go you know
Jody's a dyke or something like that no this is a true story so I'm on the telephone
talking I don't know if it was my brother or somebody I go yeah I met Jody Jody Foster
Jody the Dyke I yell it loud the table is she's
right there. She was fucking like
a piece of bread or a napkin like
threw it at me. These guys
were peeing in their pants.
I had to tell my brother I said, yeah
I called Jody Ford's dude. Like
I didn't know she was right there. They go
did she throw it at me mean? And
they were like no she threw it at you like
giggling like what's wrong with you?
So you know the next day in the studio
they were like oh Jody the Dykes
looking for you. They wouldn't
stop. Wouldn't let me live it down.
But my God they put me at the Mondrian
hotel. I was living the dream.
I had a pilot, better days.
I wore a turban in one scene.
And the show didn't get picked up. I remember in the spring
when I were not getting picked up. I was like, oh,
fuck. There goes my career.
And then the year later,
I was up for fucking NYPD Blue.
But then they were like, you know, is he Mexican?
Is he this? I said,
I could be, as a Puerto Rican.
Tell them I'm a little Puerto Rican.
Because they liked me, but they said, does he have any
Hispanic blood? You know, and I was, you know,
I was like, yeah, I got it somewhere in my ass.
I don't know.
Don't fucking take it away from me because I'm not Puerto Rico.
I'm New York.
I'm New York.
This is a New York show.
So they kept me on a fucking string for like a few months.
And my agent was like, don't worry, baby.
You're going to get it, honey.
You're going to get it.
And I didn't know.
I was like, are you sure I'm going to get it?
I had a nervous break down.
I had to take a leave of absence when there's a dormant because I got sick.
This Morrie got.
Who?
Leave this agent.
Marty Leesack, he's a big agent
But he used to talk like that
Hey honey
What the fuck are you doing?
We had a great relationship
You motherfucker
What happened to the dude who stole the check?
The check?
Oh, that guy, no, he's a criminal
Six grand
Oh, that guy with the bulging eyes
No, Marty's big shot
Marty went to CIA
That guy was a criminal
Why I ever let that guy in my life
Tells you how stupid
And dumb and crazy I am
Because people said
I had a guy,
came over my house when the bulging eye guy was hanging around and he said Nick is that guy with you
and I said yeah they said you can't have a guy crazier than you represent you can be crazy because
you're an artist this guy's out of his fucking mind and I didn't know he was a criminal he stole the money
and then gave me a check that bounced after he fucking stole the money then I told I said you're
fucking dead not only did you steal the money I caught you and now you give me a check that bounced
top of it. What a fucking
club, the big bulging life. I'm doing World Trade Center.
He's behind Nick Cage and everybody.
And Nick Cage goes, does
he represent you and your brother?
I was like, no, Nick, he's a little wacky. I got to get rid
of this guy. I got to get him out of my life.
I had a great agent. I had a great agent.
It was a UTA. So you didn't get him out of your life.
I did. But he got fucking, he was embezzling money or
yeah, he went to jail. He used to call me from jail.
I said, don't call me no more. I don't want to
I don't want to hear this shit. How much
time did he do? I take him to a fucking meeting
I tell him shut the fuck up in the room.
Don't open your mouth
because one time I was at an HBO
meeting. I'm pitching something
my brother's on the phone his mouth almost
opened my brother said who was in that
room I said some fucking
wacky bandage you go don't
don't bring that guy. Don't bring that guy in the room
I said yeah I know I know because I tell
him shut the fuck up
I said no shut the fuck up
keep your mouth shut
they're here to meet me
this is a meeting about
you know I'm about talent
you don't know you're gonna
fucking say stupid shit
you look like Johnny Gumbach with bulging eyes
dressed apart you're supposed to be a manager
oh what I could write a movie about this
fucking guy and his name is one of the names
on Seinfeld that's the hilarious thing
it's one of the characters on Simon
that's his fucking name
I tell you something when he used to come to the center
of the longest shot
you remember him
Yeah, I'm out of his mind.
I saw him afterward.
I went somewhere.
He didn't get me that job.
He didn't get me the job.
No, here's the funny thing.
I went somewhere and somebody I knew got up from a table and came over and said,
alone me, I gave him a hug.
Right.
And where he went back to sit, that dude was there.
So immediately, he came over and said, hello.
He used to stick out like a sore thumb.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I met him in church.
years ago. I didn't know.
Yeah. This is where I fucking met him
in church. And
you know, I had my
suspicion about him. But I was
always like, you know, always like street
guys. I had this stupid way about me.
I was established with UTA
with legitimate fucking
people. Not Johnny Gumbachro
bulging eyes. Who are there
other clients? Who, him?
Yeah, who is that? Where I was? I was
his biggest client. And he would
drop my name, but you look bad.
If you go, Nick is with him, that doesn't look good for Nick.
Nick's got to be with somebody that, when I had Marty, had good people.
You know, I walk in the room at WB, I got a deal.
CBS, I got a deal.
Can't bring this lunatic into a fucking meeting with CBS?
They're going to go, why are you with this man?
I got to put a cork in his mouth.
Because he just would sound like a buffoon.
He dressed like it.
I'd yell at him.
He'd go, yo, he's trying to hurt my feelings.
I rob it.
Shut the fuck up.
Shut up.
When you go in the room, act apart.
Play your part.
Don't open your mouth.
Don't get in my way.
It's not about you.
I'm here.
I was a good pitcher back then.
I knew how to fucking pitch.
And then a maniac like this could fuck me up.
Just look on him.
Lee's going through changes.
I don't think I want to be a manager anymore.
Why not?
Let me tell you, that guy, my hair rises.
You see it?
I see it.
You say when I see it, you know it.
You know it right off the bat.
I should have known better.
I'm really, that was a really, everybody in my life told me,
why are you with him?
But he was a hustler.
And he would, you know, and I was at the time I got like,
you know, I'm not getting the attention, this, that.
But you don't opt that way.
You don't go from the major leagues to like some fucking, you know,
international bullshit league playing with this guy.
because he looked bad
You know
So I thought I figured
Let me give him a chance
And then I started going to other agents
But he was always
He was just a disaster this guy
To have him
You know represent you
Just look bad for you
Sounds like Bill Murray
And what about Bob
He just kept falling you
Even after he didn't
You had to see his eyeballs
You had to see his eyes
You could tell
He was crazy
He's bugged out
He is fucking bogged out
I don't know if he was doing drugs
I don't know
No
Figure out if he was doing drugs.
He still calls me.
You know, hey, buddy.
And I'm like, oh, my God.
So he had to pay restitution.
Yeah, he paid restitution.
He's in Vegas now.
What's he doing?
I don't know what the fuck he does.
God bless him.
I don't wish him any harm.
He's not a bad guy.
Those guys just keep going.
Those guys.
I was one of those guys, so I know exactly how.
You know, but I always, you know, I always liked an attraction, the street guys, this, that.
I was like lunatics, but this is business.
You can't have a.
Unatic on your team when you try if you're a little wild in the room that's different
You're artistic you're creative they understand that but you have your business guy who's a wacker
Do that don't look good you're like well why is he that doesn't fit why are they together and I used to get some weird
You know I used to try to cover it up and play it off like ah yeah he's he's okay he's a hustles
It's not a bad guy means well you know right and say about take him on the side just just just don't say
Don't say nothing.
Don't open the eyeballs.
That's the eyeballs that really got people.
He freaked people out.
The body language.
I mean, you know, he's a character that if I ever write that character, you know, into something.
Fantastic.
Nick, let me tell you something about it.
Fantastic.
Way before Lee had to be, it's 2017.
This had to be 2002.
I was stuck Lee.
I didn't know what the fuck they do.
And I met this dude.
This dude hit me up on the hot man.
He's a record producer.
He's worked with all these people,
but he wants to switch into comedy.
Comedy's making a comeback, brother.
Let's do this comedy thing, man.
I want to tape your first CD type special.
I got contacts in HBO.
I was like, okay, I met him a few times.
Never asked me for money or nothing.
This went on for about six months.
I'm looking at this guy one day, bro.
He had no fucking teeth.
Holy shit.
He had, like, cracker.
teeth. How many days did it take you to realize that?
I don't want to look at people, man. I would look at his
eyes. You know what I'm saying? I wouldn't look at his
fucking mouth. He had all rotten
fucking teeth, and he's telling me that
he was a record producer, but now
I'm thinking I'm like, oh boy, I made a mistake.
All right, he gets me a spot.
There used to be a club downtown. I don't know
what happened to it. They moved
like 10 times. They were
just fucking thieves, these people.
I did a showdown on there when I did
Tom Likis.
You know what, man? At the time,
Nobody knew who Joe Diaz was.
Nobody knew who I was.
But there was 40, 50 people there.
This guy comes over at the end of the night
gives me like $35.
Like, are you fucking kidding me?
That's the night and get into the fight with Ernie G.
It was just a horrible fucking night.
But in the meantime, this guy was supposed to tape both shows.
He had people there.
He had brothers there.
Look at dogs.
I'm going out of pocket for you, man.
You're going to be the first audience.
this on my label.
And he had wires and microphones.
A week went by,
two weeks went by,
he finally called me back.
He goes,
can I buy you lunch tomorrow?
So the next day he tells me,
man,
I don't know how to tell you this.
Something happened in that bar.
The temperature just zapped the recording.
What happened?
The record.
I don't know what the fuck happened.
They didn't tape it.
They didn't even tape it.
There were nothing.
They weren't taping it visually.
They were taping it audially, you know, like for a CD typed it.
Yeah, but there was, listen, you know, and I should have known, I mean, you know, I don't know what happened to me.
I was, at the time, I think I was a little frustrated, a couple of pilots that almost got on the air.
And my agent had, he had big, big clients, too.
Big TV guys, Drew Carrey, all it.
But he was great.
We were, you know, we had a great, and I don't know.
I just was like, all right, I'll give this guy a shot.
But, you know, you let someone like that in your life.
You know, you don't let people like that.
You don't let people in like that.
This is business.
They could screw you up.
Because, you know, who you're with is a reflection on you.
So, you know, you walk in the room with this guy, Johnny Gombach from, you know,
he thinks he's Johnny Gombach, but he's really like a character of himself.
It was just bad.
You know, I was telling Lee, before you came, we're talking about managers and agents.
And I was telling Lee about when I first moved, you had the manager.
And he was the only guy that he sat me down.
And then he goes, listen, your comedy career is not going to blow up.
He goes, I can't sell you except the three people in this town like you.
And one of his Mitty Shaw, because I think you should start going in for this character.
Nick, this guy would send me in auditions those days.
I couldn't handle him.
I'd fall apart in the seams.
Men in black.
I went in for a bunch of big movies.
You did.
It's hard.
In the early days,
I'd go in there and see actors.
I'd shit my pants.
But you know what?
He got me chops.
And he had a plan,
and his plan worked.
And you know what?
Years ago,
when I was trying to really work hard at comedy
a couple years ago,
this is the Malook I am,
I would look at comedy clubs.
And if certain comics worked at that comedy club,
about wouldn't work there. There's times that mid-level managers have approached me that are pretty
decent, but I don't want to be with the people in their lineup. They might have a comedian. I don't
want to be next to that lineup. I don't want him name, his name, and my name mentioned in the same
circle. Right. You have to look at all those things. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So.
Why is a, uh, an audition for like a big like men and black movie different? I know like the
location's different maybe.
Is that it?
Like the location and the people you're doing it for.
Like, why is it?
Okay, okay.
So let's say I go to not Hollywood Gawa.
Let's say I go in for a mid-level movie.
I'll go on somewhere on sunset.
When I booked 18 Wheels of Justice, it was a place across the street from the strip club.
What's the strip club on sunset there?
That almost burnt down.
The Jews burnt it down on Christmas three years ago during Hanukkah so they could have
out. It was a Hanuk. We wouldn't burn nothing down.
We let the candles on.
What's that on sunset strip?
Close to the comedy store. Yeah, by the comedy
seven fell? Is it the seven
fell? The body shop. No, no. The body shop.
It's the body shop.
This place was a little
building, Lee, and you went in there,
you took an elevator up to the third floor
and you sat in the hallway, you signed
your name, and you went there. Now,
forget that shit, Lee. Forget
that. Forget that shit, bitch.
You got to drive on to Sony
studios down there
wherever the fuck it is you got
a drive on you get out of your car
you got the side you got your headshot
it's a beautiful day to be alive
you're breathing fucking oxygen
on the walk there you see
shows to the taping
you're just in a different environment
you have no fucking idea
okay sometimes you go to Sony
and you walk past Adam Sandler's office
and you keep walking whatever
you know what for the minute you walk in there
your fucking adrenaline's pumping
And now you go up, you sign your name.
You studied this audition for 12 fucking hours.
You know it inside out.
You don't have to put your fucking glasses on.
That's killing me.
You got to put your glasses on mid-read, you know?
You have to know those lines.
And you have to prepare that audition already for the second callback.
So when I go in there, in those days, if I went in there for the first time, that would be the first fucking read.
So think about that, Lee.
Here you are walking on a fucking studio where films are shot.
Because there's good studios and bad studios.
Well, no, no, no.
You're on a fucking studio where films are shot.
For a guy like me, that was never going to happen.
That don't happen for a lot of people.
Just to walk in the studio freely to go all the way down there.
I remember going in for NYPD Blue at Fox
and walking all the way to the Boschgo fucking building.
But here's the beauty of it.
I go all the way down there.
It's a nine-page audition for a Colombian,
drug deal. I meet Danny
Trejo at the audition, okay?
On the walk out,
I'm walking slow,
kind of depressed, and I blew the audition.
And this lady comes out, and she goes,
are you here for the audition? And I go, yeah.
And she goes read these lines, and the movie was
basketball, and I got six weeks on the
fucking movie. Really? On the Fox lot?
On the walk out of NYPD Blue.
That building was a cool building. That building was tremendous.
It was great. It was great.
Even's building.
But you had a walkout.
You had to walk down and it was eight fucking miles.
When it's 80 degrees and you got black leather on
because you're playing Johnny bananas.
You got a black valour warm-up suit on and you wait 350.
It's hot.
And you're sweating the Coke and the weed
and the Chinese food out of your system.
Did you read for the producers?
Okay, so I went in for NYPD Blue
and they liked me the first time.
And right away, a week.
a week later they called in
for something else
if I would read for a janitor or something
and I went in for a janitor
and I didn't get it I wasn't Spanish enough
all right
they wanted to be Puerto Rican or Dominican
I'm Cuban dog it's a different Spanish
I don't get it and then
I didn't hear from them for like a month
and I got a call one day
Jeff Gatlin calls me he goes listen
I got a big fucking audition for you
tomorrow you have a coach and I go fuck yeah he goes well get this Jeff
Gettlin loved those Latin auditions and at the time I was already starting to
hate him I could see that I couldn't sell they would say thank you for coming in
and when I did go to producers the producers always go are you even Spanish right
you know I'm saying I go God damn it God damn it yeah because I think you might be
Italian you might be yeah yeah no so I get this thing and it's a
a fucking Colombian drug dealer.
God damn it.
And it's a good one.
It's like, I don't know what the fuck it was.
It was like nine pages or something.
Wow.
I go in there, Danny Trejo's there,
a bunch of other Spanish dudes are there.
I ship my pants and I see Danny Trejo.
He's in heat.
Yeah.
What are my chances?
He's in heat.
Yeah.
I've done a fucking nothing.
I do spots at the comedy store.
I went in there and just fell apart.
Well, I'm not trying to be rude,
but would you and Danny Trejo go off of the same role?
They would look at everybody.
They're looking at Spanish.
They're looking at Spanish people.
Okay.
And then he got it.
Really?
A warm-up suit.
He wore the warm-up suit.
If you go back, 1998.
Yeah, I was there.
Yeah, 1997-98.
When you finally went on, I wasn't there.
No, no, I went on years later.
But I did so bad at that nine-page audition.
He didn't call me in again.
I went to acting class at Ivana Chubbick, and I told the coach,
and I go to the bathroom, yeah.
Yeah.
And he told me.
write him a letter and I wrote him a letter and they brought me into something and I booked it
let me do the shoutouts go ahead my right buddy don't guy go to the bathroom over here
I got to do shoutouts on you right run run run I'm off the air here
what is it downstairs leave no right next door I'm not tired of yeah I got to do the original

Happy 2017.
What's going on there, Tarzan?
How are you feeling over that?
I'm feeling really good.
to have you around.
Caluca Casino is sold out.
It's a small room.
But Cleveland, Uncle Joey's coming.
I'm coming for Steeper Mayo Chick.
It's over.
I said it correctly.
I know.
You can't do that ever again.
I can't sue it over again.
No, no, that's weird.
I don't like it.
I'll be there next Thursday, Friday, and fucking Saturday.
Ready and rock, cock suckers.
What's going on with you, brother?
I'm doing really good, but I...
I can tell.
You're going through changes right now.
to change, but I really feel like you missed your
calling as the member of a
Cuban traveling band.
I feel like that must have been
the life. We were watching those
videos before and blew my mind.
I just, like, I could do the cowbell
and then like travel the world.
That just seemed like
you were born to do it.
Well, you keep talking that nonsense. I'm not going to give you
edibles no more.
Fucking people, they eat this weed, and all of some,
they get all fucking psychological on me.
Let me talk to you about something.
I'm 53 years old.
I went to New York City.
It wasn't until I went to New Jersey where I met Italian people.
I must have gone to Italian restaurants as a kid.
But once I got the real fucking taste, when I went to Jersey,
I think I first discovered Italian food at Catholic Church.
Sister Angelo and stuff like that would make the fucking lasagna, but that wasn't none.
It's till I moved to North Bergen, bro.
And I felt love it.
It took me away from Cuban food.
It took me away from cheeseburgers.
To me, I had always eaten spaghetti with meat sauce.
I had never seen spaghetti with sauces, meatballs, and fucking reggaht cheese, and crushed pepper and the cheese.
I had never seen that shit before.
It blew my fucking circuitry.
So for fucking 40 years, everybody tells me about their fucking, you got to taste my grave.
You got to come over on Sunday.
You got to chase my grave.
do this you got to do that now after 20 years you're telling me you gotta taste my gravy so what's
the story tell me the whole fucking story about nicky hot sauce my niggie red sauce all right tell me
well i fucking story i started making a sauce and uh you know fucking around with it and uh i first came out
to l-a and i you know i started making it on my own and sausage and pork and you know it got
better and better over the years let's open it out open up yeah let's put the mooluka on it's
friends and family and then when i did chuck and larry i made some sauce for adam and kevin james
had some of it and you went wild so who made that i said i did so then his brother told me
why don't we find a guy to mass produce it so years ago we actually did make the sauce
is this a new batch and old this is a brand new this is a sample laughing because last week
my friend made a slice of pizza sent it to me for christmas while the show was
was going.
Lee kept looking at it.
He had aluminum fall on it.
He kept looking at it, looking at it.
And he killed it.
Like, when the show was over, he just destroyed that slice of it.
But we had this sauce.
Well, let me taste it.
Years ago, right now.
Let's get a different tomato now.
This company's interested.
So the guy that made it originally, did a new batch of it, but it came out fresher.
And I think better than it was even, and even, you know, like my son had it.
And he was like, wow, it's not your typical sauce jar.
I'm not toot my own horn.
It's pretty damn good for a jar on the sauce.
Thank you, sir.
Tremendous.
I'm telling you, it's a high-end sauce.
Not cheap to make it either.
It's really good.
Very good, ain't it?
It tastes the cheese in it.
What cheese?
Isn't the cheese?
No?
No, maybe.
It's just hot.
No.
It tastes like there's pommergum cheese, no.
That's why you eat that lizard meat, and you don't know what it is.
So this is the, this is the Nikki Red sauce in the jar right now.
What do you think?
It's up there.
I mean, I've tasted a bunch of high.
high-end sauces, I think this, they don't even come near this.
It's tremendous for a jaw sauce, right?
Is it gluten-free?
Well, this one's probably not gluten-free.
So that's what this guy now, it might be a little concerned about it.
But the tomato he used, this pastine tomato, gave it a fresher feel, like a lighter feel.
It cooked it with a pork rib bone, but it doesn't stay in there.
That's why it's got that nice flavor, because they use this pork.
But we could probably make something without the rib bone, maybe just one with the rib bone.
And then the other is maybe for the gluten-free people.
And we can make a few of those.
So rib bone is what has glutenity?
No, it makes it not vegan.
It makes it not vegan.
They don't want that.
They think it's not healthy that way.
But taste the sauce.
Does this feel like pretty healthy to you?
I think it does.
I don't feel no acid.
I don't.
We taste it again.
Taste it again.
You don't know that they don't.
Lee, why are you sitting there with short arms?
Tasting.
You're going to look like this thing.
Wishing you could drink this fucking thing.
Sure.
What are you kidding me?
You need more breath.
What would mean?
Just watching a hawk to make sure you don't double dip.
Yeah, with that fucking double dip.
What do you mean?
Everybody gets on me about that.
What do you mean who?
I don't mind the double dip.
Everybody yells about, yells at me.
You got a double dip.
Now I'm going to have to refrigerate it, but it's all right.
We opened it.
Who cares?
It's so you like it, right?
It's fucking pretty good.
But, well, you guess.
some money behind it, we'll see.
Yeah, Lee.
Try it again.
Now, if you just have it,
you don't know that maybe
it was cooked with a ribbone.
To me, it tastes very,
very fresh.
That's what I like about it.
It's not heavy either.
No, it's like, I tried it on pasta.
The guy from, he's from Connecticut.
This guy, John Astorita,
and I call Ultimate Foods.
He goes, Nick, it's one of the best.
I make sauces for a lot of people.
He goes, your sauce, this one, your recipe,
one of the best jar sources.
Now, let me ask you this.
How much money does it take to launch a company like this?
It takes a decent amount of coin.
A mill?
No, less than that.
Half a mill.
Probably.
Yeah.
And you're getting into Whole Foods or shit like that.
Those kind of stores.
I mean, this company that might be interested in packing it,
maybe they would just give me a royalty.
But if they'll do everything and put it out there,
I could be like, you know, be like the Paul Newman, whatever.
I mean, no one can be as big as Paul Norman.
But I don't mind if they'll, you know, give me a decent royalty.
until you're not just completely,
I don't want to just give it away
because it's a good product.
And from this sauce,
we can make three or four flavors.
You need a couple of flavors to be seen.
Because in the supermarket,
if you have just one flavor,
they'll never find you.
So you're going to have three, four, five flavors.
Ragoo has ragu, ragu mushroom.
You have basil and tomato or mushroom.
Get some sauce, though.
Yeah.
With some sauce, this shit.
Nicky red sauce is holding on.
I feel like I'm in prison right now.
Like we eat out of a jar, bread.
I know, but it's great, right?
It's tremendous.
You dip the fucking salt.
You dip the bread in the...
What's better than that?
You got to have more wine, Joey.
Huh?
You should have at least a sip of wine with the sauce.
Yeah, a little vino.
What are you?
I got to try.
No, I got to try it.
I'm impressed.
I'm tell you.
I mean, I always knew it was good, but it came out even better.
Look at the color.
The color is fucking good, right?
It's red for all the audio listeners.
It's a deep, rich red.
It's nice.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
It's all your fans out there.

We're working on it.
Yeah.
And we'll let you know people.
Yeah, we'll let you know.
This is a good fucking sauce.
Thank you.
I don't fuck around.
I mean, I'm not going to put out something.

You're not ziplining or mini bike ride.
I saw this newly zip line I want to do.

I just doped up shit. I don't know how to make some.
Let me show you this cowboy steak I made the other night.
Want to see a fucking pretty steak?
Now, what's a cowboy steak?
It's like a giant, it's a giant ribby.
They call it like, they call it a tomahawk steak.
But it's fucking big on a big bone, two and a half, three pounds.
And they come out with it this time of year, like Costco had it.
It's delicious.
It's some fucking steak.
You slice it nice and it's big, but you can't overcook it.
I'll show you this thing.
This thing is freaking nice.
So you're a chef too.
Yeah, I'm all right.
You make the sauce, you act, you're right, you're producing.
Yeah, I'm creative.
You know, I am.
My father.
You're a man of many fucking ass.
Look at that badass rib-off.
That thing is beautiful.
That's beautiful, right?
Show Lee, he'll fucking pass out.
I love ribba.
I can't eat things.
No, this is a tomahawk lead.
That's a beautiful.
That's a great steak.
That's a big steak.
Oh, yeah.
It comes on a big stick.
Two and a half, three pounds.
And then I made a little.
A little, I made a little fazzul.
This came out great with the eschero.
Eschadol and beans.
That's what you called pasta fazzou.
Oh, I love that shit.
That's what we called it fazzul.
Fazzu.
This thing that's,
that's the fucking beans and escarro.
That's the best.
Listen, you rub that on your herpes sauce.
That's right.
You're fucking done.
You got HIV.
You eat that shit, you're done.
You want to eat a crack cooker.
You eat in pasta fuzzle, you're done.
Now look at the sauce I'm eating on.
Your immune system, the whole fucking.
That's what I need.
That's why I felt...
A lot of garlic of the possible thing.
Then I made my lobster sauce the other night.
Did you?
Check this shot.
I killed the lobsters.
Then I put them right in the fuck.
I buy them live.
I kill them and then I put them in the sauce.
The sauce is unbelievable.
It's lobster sauce.
Look at that.
Is that a fucking sauce or what?
So you put the lobsters in this sauce?
Yeah.
Like that sauce, I get the lobsters.
I have to kill them first.
I feel bad.
And then I crack them open.
They get all the lobsters.
Just put them in the Nicki red sauce and it comes out like an incredible lobster
Pribi Dioblood.
Oh, tremendous.
Oh, over Linguini to die for.
With some clams and some shrimp on the side.
Who's better than you?
Right.
Nobody.

So that's coming out this month.
And then next month,
There's a little thing called the eyes that I was in that got a theatrical release.
And then I'm trying to get a Southern movie off the ground.
It's a faith-based movie.
Nice script.
I want to get into that whole freaking fate-based crowd.
There's a lot of opportunities there.
But I actually got a nice script called Call Me Luke.
You could be good for something in it.
Yeah, it's a good script.
Trying to do that for like, you know, a small budget.
But I got to start, you know, I got to make something.
I mean, this is the other thing.

I was great.
I still remember when that came out,

But, you know, if he didn't kill Manolo, they might have killed all those Chabotos.
That's what my father said.
My father was funny.
He used to get into movies and say,
Nicholas, he should have never killed Manolo.
They would have killed all those motherfuckers.
And it's true.
He's like, he never should have killed his best friend.

Let me tell you something.
If you had Nikki Red sauce, the acid from the tomatoes kills the cocaine and makes you go to sleep.
Right, right.
That's why you have a slice of pizza to soar up.
You know why the oil from the pizza.
If you eat a slice of pizza, you won't get blasted.
There's something about pizza and the oil.
It'll help you not to get a hangover or get really blasted.
Have a slice of pizza before you're going to drink.
No.
