🎵 Oh yeah, welcome to the show, ladies and gentlemen. How are you? Great to be with you. Got a good one for you today. My guest today, a friend of the show, a very fine actor. He's been in all kinds of movies, Killing Them Softly, Patriot's Day, Made in Brooklyn. And of course, you've seen him all over TV, Law and Order, Monk, Blue Bloods, and of course, the role that made him really famous, John Sacramone on The Sopranos. Please welcome back to the show my friend Vince Caratola.

Vince! Nick, how are you, my friend? You're a gentleman. Appreciate it. I wish my mother thought that. She watches the show sometimes and goes, what are you saying? Hi, Ma.

Good to have you back. I'm glad to be here, my friend. I was going to go Johnny, John this is the last time we meet like this, it's undignified, I know he beat me to the punch how about we're done here I like

I don't have to lie to you Vince Dallas is going to do it he's going to do it his way I just started watching him again I know you probably I don't have to lie to you, Vince. Dallas is going to do it, and he's going to do it his way. I just started watching him again. I know you're probably sick of talking about the Sopranos. No, never sick. No, it's a privilege.

Thank you. I got obsessed with it. I told you, after it went off the air, I would run on the treadmill every day for about, I'd say, eight years and watched him on a loop to the point where I could write out the scripts. Then I took a few years off, and then I'm clicking through the other night, and they're on demand somewhere, and I started over again. I know. It's like The Godfather. You keep watching no matter what. You've seen it already. Unbelievable. And let me tell you something, and I love The Godfather. I love Goodfellas, but as far as the mob thing, that is my favorite piece

of entertainment ever. It ruined TV for me. I got to be honest with you of entertainment ever it ruined tv for me i gotta be honest yeah it ruined it for me too my friend it's very that is true oh my god uh just tremendous they were all wonderful they were the cast the writers they were all great yeah that's it it was like the perfect storm of tremendous actors and writing that's a good expression sure who was the funny who do you know i mean the show i don't laugh at much because i'm a comic and i'm jaded but i'm belly laughing like i'm watching three's company watching that show and who's who's in the writing room who was the funny in your opinion is it who is the funniest writer in there i would i would say terry winter i knew it i knew it i

would say he just had that right you know you know, he was a lawyer by profession, not for long because he wanted to be a writer, but he just had that wry way of, and you know something? I mean, you know, we all hang out. Like, you hung out with us. Yes. You hung out with us. We're at appearances and whatever.

And, yeah, if Terry was around, like, two months later, you'd get a script. You're going, oh, fuck, I said that, didn't I? When we were in some bar at 2 o'clock in the morning, the guy had ears like a Vulcan, you know what I mean? But I was, I'm sorry, I cursed. Anyway. Oh, please.

What are you kidding? You're talking to the fucking pirate here. I would say he was the comical one. Yeah, absolutely. I had a feeling because when I went to our Artie Lang grand opening of a movie, Terry Wendt was there. And when he said hi to me, I was so flattered that he even remembered who I was. You know, you controlled that parade that day. Come on.

You know what you're talking about. You were wearing the blue and you controlled that parade that day. Come on, you know what you're talking about. You were wearing the blue, and you controlled it, Bob. With that wonderfully sarcastic delivery, and only a guy like you is a fucking master at it. You know what I did, Vince? For once out of the thousand auditions I've been on, I never really landed anything. On that one, I did make a choice,

and I don't think I had everything to do with Sharippa knowing me. But when I played the cop and I broke up the fight in the audition, I went like that. I just thrown a whistle, which is what you should do if you're an actor. You've got to make an attitude. Sure, absolutely. Absolutely. But, you know, you say you haven't landed anything.

Let me tell you something. Uncle Junior was 68, 69 when that show came on the air. I mean, there's hope for everybody, so don't worry about it. And, you know, Dominic just had a birthday, Dominic. Yeah, you know, the poor guy, yeah, he FaceTimed me two weeks ago. Yeah. And I said, Dominic, are you okay? What's up?

He's in a restaurant in England. And I said to him, I said, okay. So I said, how's Jane? And he went, I said, what do you mean? Like what? Upstairs. She went to heaven Wednesday. I said, okay, we love you, bubba bop.

He was eating in a restaurant. He's coming back. He's going to live in New York, thank God, and that's it. So that was his wife? His wife, Jane. They've been married, I want to say, since 2000. They moved to England. She's English.

They moved back, well, I should say to England, oh, maybe six, seven years ago. She was battling cancer. And her treatments there, I i guess i don't know she seemed to have been more comfortable there yeah so they moved there and but now dominic is alone he's gonna have to come back because his family's here yeah that's wonderful let me tell you some 93 fucking sharp as a scalpel yeah i mean he doesn't he doesn't look 93, though. No, no. And his timing and his delivery of words and this and that, no, he's tremendous. Thank God. He's not like, you know, the fucking the moop that's in the White House, the scarecrow looking for a fucking drink.

That's where I was headed to next. I'm there, Bo. I'm ahead of you. Oh, my God, Vince. Fucking weekend at Bernie, motherfucker. I don't know where to begin. And just as far as looking at the big picture, to me, it's all intentional.

It's all a plan. You know, I watch the news like everybody else. I watch the punditry and shit, and they have to pretend to argue. Why are they doing this? He's doing that that he should be doing it's all he's just a puppet there's 10 people that run the planet i think eight of them are jay gay jewish guy i don't know and and and they're pulling the strings and and they want to bring this country to its knees

and and they're doing a hell of a job and there's no resistance from the right. No, there's no resistance. But I vividly recall when Obama was campaigning for his first term and he was doing some fucking parking lot bullshit thing. Hello, how are you? And somebody said, well, what's your intention, Mr. To redistribute the wealth.

Whose wealth? My wealth? You're going to put your hand on my fucking pot? No, I don't think so you communist cunt that's what you call it okay he is and he said that's what he is and he also said remember his ideal thing would be to do a couple terms in the white house and then sit behind the scenes and not take the bullets and the strings. Not be the lightning rod anymore. So now you got Biden. And you got Soros.

Listen. This whole fucking thing. To let all these people in here. Is so they get to vote. Keep voting Democrats. So the Democrats can control America. And eventually control the fucking world. This is a body count.

But I got to tell you something. I don't want to become morose. I went to mass this past Sunday with my wife, Maureen, and during the homily, the priest is talking about the bop, ba-da-bee, ba-da-boo. I got the Baltimore Catechism here. I can read it. They don't say a word. These priests in the Catholic religion, as far as we're aware, say a fucking word about

how we need to protect ourselves, how we need to have our leaders follow the fucking law. They don't say boo because you know what? They're afraid of alienating people in the fucking donation box. Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, everybody's afraid.

And speaking of, not to get on a religious thing, but I mean, Christianity's under fire. Not only overseas, not only in Africa and whatever, they're burning churches down left and right. Even over here, we have to be afraid of our own government. Not that I'm a big Christian, but right. But I got to tell you something, though. It's okay that you have a law.

First of all, there's no law that says you have to pay income tax. It was never a law written. But it's about compliance. Don't do that. watch how fast they find your fucking ass they'll find you these fucking people coming over they're giving them court dates nine years down the road they're done they're here that's right done that's right they're done and what you're doing is the president you're telling us especially our youth our youth are looking and saying, gee, I thought we had some fucking loss. Well, I guess we don't. This is bad, Nick.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how you turn the ship around. And the fact that he's letting these people pour in and then has the nerve, you know, the latest headline was the girl jogging at the University of Georgia campus who gets murdered by this, you know, fucking gangbanger from Venezuela. And this prick, Biden, has the nerve to turn around and say it's the Republicans' fault. They don't want to pass this immigration. He's had fucking four years.

We've been watching half of South to Central America and South America pour in here. And now he's trying to turn it on the Republicans. And how dare he? The blood is on his hands directly. Absolutely. And of course, the complicit media. Hey, boys and girls, head over to NickDip.com to get exclusive hats, T-shirts, hoodies, and more.

And the second half of the show, ladies and gentlemen, I'll continue my great interview. We get into talking about acting and more politics with the great Vince Caratola. That's exclusively, politics with the great Vince Caratola. That's exclusively, by the way, on Mug Club. So join now to get Mug Club. You go to nickdip.com. Now back to the interview with Vince Caratola. Absolutely. No, but I'm going to tell you something. This person, he has signed more executive orders. As soon as he got into office, he could have signed an executive order. Fuck you, Republicans. I'm closing the border. I'm not waiting for you.

Close the motherfucker. But we don't have a border anymore. Right. There is no fucking border. No. So based on that, if Trump gets back in, I don't know what to say because I think it would take him like a half hour to close the fucking thing down. You're right. Maybe 15 minutes.

Okay? Yeah. Here we right. 30, 15 minutes, okay? Yeah, I laugh. Even all this talk, by the way, talking to the great Vince Curitola, all this talk about a wall and shit, even when Trump was in office, I would laugh at the wall talk. I would

say, fuck the wall. If you're going to build a wall, make it three feet high so a soldier can sit on it every hundred yards with an m50 right yeah you don't need a wall we have flamethrowers we have the strongest military in the world that's exactly right i agree i mean i agree i agree with you one guy gets picked off nobody else is coming over that wall exactly right i'm not this is this is the way it is but i gotta tell you something. Just now, a couple of hours ago,

another girl, 14 years old, raped by one of these, one of these fucking greaseball animal fuck, I mean, it doesn't, we cannot be, we cannot call ourselves an exemplary country by allowing our leader,

fuck him, to do what he's doing. He should be in a federal penitentiary in the fucking demented ward. And his wife is a fucking pimp. Oh, I know. Because she wants the hair extensions. I want to be on the fucking red carpet. Go out there, Joe. Don't worry about it. I'll walk into the fucking propeller plate, though, Don't worry about it. I'll walk into the fucking propeller blade, though, on the reef.

You fucking yo-yo. She really. Careful, careful. She, that really is, I used to laugh, but it really is elder abuse. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Of course it is. We have to give it to the Dems for going, hey, this guy. And again, I don't know why. I think Obama's fingerprints are all over it because he's the only one that has any brains.

He goes, that was a brilliant move, putting this empty vessel in place that we can use as a lightning rod. And he'll say anything we put in the teleprompter. It was actually a fucking genius move, was it not? Exactly right. Exactly right. a fucking genius move, was it not? Exactly right. Exactly right.

I mean, the guy, he said, he said, yes, I carry the rosary from my son of Our Lady of... It was Guadalupe. They should have had a fucking ear if he was Our Lady of Guadalupe. I mean, if it wasn't so, if it wasn't so fucking sad, Nick, it would be hilarious. I know.

I know. I know. And people overseas, people that have experienced communism firsthand, are telling us, what are you guys doing? You're sitting around watching it. It's kind of, if we didn't have Trump, Vince, vince i mean who else we talk about the left having a weak uh bench who else would have the balls to do what trump's doing on our side anybody and the man is not even a politician and and you got this you got this wannabe famous one that

wants one of the famous leticia james in New York, campaigned on the idea of getting... How far does your jealousy fucking go? How deep is your envy of successful fucking people? Because a poor man can never give you a job, so don't destroy the guy who made it. Yeah, it's a combination

of envy and racism. Absolutely. I always say this about Trump. People go, why is he hated so much? And I go, besides the obvious, I go, he's a white Christian alpha male

billionaire with blonde hair and blue eyes. He embodies the devil to the left. He embodies them. I mean, they've hated every Republican. Right? Yes.

So perfectly put, Nick. Yeah, I mean, they've hated every Republican president since I've been on the planet, but the level of this really is deranged, and I say that's part of it. You have no idea how much they hate the patriarchy. He represents

it all, I guess. In the meantime, you had that judge in New York, this white Jew, whatever the fuck. Yeah, anger and liberal motherfucker like this. He wishes he wishes he had Trump's shoe collection. I mean, forget about the wealth.

That's a jealous motherfucker. If I ever saw one. God. Yeah. Sixties radical ACLU lover. Just and it's the arrogance. Like you said, he's lover. And it's the arrogance. Like you said, he's mugging it up for the camera. Oh, yeah.

He's still a child like most radical leftists. They never fucking grow up. But yet he had enough brains to somehow become a judge. And then he's just rubbing Trump's nose in it. And I don't understand how, which one of these indictments, let's go with the most crazy one. The fact that he, oh, the fraud one where he pumped up his, Trump supposedly pumped up his value of his property. Yeah, the banks are stupid. The fucking banks are stupid.

Yeah, right? Oh, Donald, you're telling us it's worth $400 million. Wait a minute, I'm not. We think it's worth $150 million. You want to borrow 800 million. Yeah. Okay. We'll do that.

Are you fucking stupid? It's what bank, what bank is going to give you? They'll, they'll say, listen, you, you got something worth a million dollars.

You got great credit. We'll lend you 80%. Yeah. Done. Yeah. It ain't worth 2 million. Right. How does that happen how does

i mean that's how real estate business has been done forever and and and they're calling this a crime but there's no victim no there's no victim banks didn't complain they get their money back everybody right and they got it back early i understand yes. And now how does that stand when this goes to the Supreme Court? Which it will, right? I don't even know. Oh yeah, oh sure. Absolutely will. But I got to tell you something. Yeah. What do you do with the 450 something million

fucking dollars you're collecting? Yeah, who, where's that go to? What other fucking hotel are you going to rent in Midtown for that fucking money? That's where it's going. That's exactly where it's going to rent in Midtown for that fucking money. That's where it's going. That's exactly where it's going to go. Absolutely. You're absolutely right. They're going to bring back room service at the fucking Holiday Inn on 48th Street.

And, you know, import actual Spanish food for these fucking felons. It is. It's fucking disgusting. I got you, man. I got you. I got you. I'm going to tell you something. As an you, man. I got you. I got you. I got you a lot. But I'm so, I got to tell you something. As an actor, and you're in the entertainment business,

you're an actor, and you're a stand-up comic, and you're very fucking good at what you do. Thank you very much, Vince. No, it's the truth, and I tell it fucking everybody. I got no reason to blow smoke. I appreciate it. I can't tell you how many people come up to me, or, you know, text, tweet me, rather, whatever.

Say, oh, my God, you're such a conservative. Aren't you worried about losing acting work? I don't give a fuck. How's that grab you? I already minted my gift, not only as an actor, but as a businessman. I don't need that fucking money. And what? What's going to happen?

Some producer is going to call me and say hey you know what vince we want you to co-star with leonice in that big movie but we found out you're not conservative so sorry they're not going to call me that right you're right and i know and at your stage we're talking to the great vince caritol at your stage of course what would you and and by the way I think those days are gone where you could go in for auditions and shit.
