Green thumb action give him see your love But it's a beautiful day to be alive today. I want to talk to you about something

We have a guest today a special guest who I love to death this guy opened up a lot of doors for me But before we get to it. I want to talk to you guys about something now When I got that way it was 1997 I got thrown a pilot and I didn't know what the fuck I was doing, you know and uh Then I got the movie baseball and I had no fucking idea what I was doing And I was ashamed. I was embarrassed. I was a movie buff

When they called me and they said that I had made it into baseball. I was like What are you fucking serious because I It was so bad, you know, it was it was horrible when I got the pilot for cbs When I first when I first got the pilot for cbs bronx tail bronx county bronx tail. I'm sorry bronx county um I really had like seven scenes. I'm not gonna lie to anybody my acting was so fucking atrocious Like how can you not act you're a comic my acting was so fucking atrocious

That by the time we shot the pilot I think I had a line If I if I mean I mean they cut everything down. I mean it was it was You know, and I'm I'm listen. This is the truth. This is what happens when You go into something not knowing something that I wasn't used to doing I always before you know, even with the guitar whether it's jiu-jitsu I want you know, I'm when I lift weights I know I don't know everything, you know, I my job. I'm a professional fucking comedian Everything else I don't know about, you know, but when you get the LA

At first year it manages just says, hey, do you want to go out for an audition and you're like, I guess so everybody else is doing it It seems like the right fucking thing to do. I was always listen I was a bigger fan growing up of movies Than what I was a stand-up. I'm not gonna lie to you Richard Pryor with his albums I loved the early Richard Pryor stuff and that's what I held on to and that's what I used when I started You know a little bit of the early prior and that's why I talk about the subjects I talk about But I was more of a fucking movie guy Than a stand-up comedy guy. I I loved

fucking Movies and but then I saw easy money and I knew that Rodney was a stand-up and then I I saw the toy and all the Richard Pryor's movies and I'm like fuck They do movies, you know blue streak with fucking gene wilder Richard Pryor did some great fucking movies So that was my whole thing and then I knew that Rick dukeman did movies So when I got that lay, you know people were like you gotta go and audition and stuff like that. So I just went you know Maybe I was too proud to

Ask for help People would say do you want to run lines and I would run lines of people But years later I was running lines of people with bums that they couldn't book a fucking headshot themselves So why was I running lines with them? Do you know I'm saying like I was running lines losers You know, so how am I gonna book if I'm hanging out with fucking a bum so Sorry about that. I'm a little fucking dehydrated so I didn't really know much about it, but I was too scared to fucking ask but after

the Baseball debacle There was an acting class across, you know, they have the big-time acting classes in LA that you could join guys. Looka it's like Buying gasoline, you know, when you go like they want the super unlettered Super super super unlettered or whatever acting is acting, you know Most of the people that teach acting again can't book a fucking headshot themselves You know, the you know, I mean, that's the truth. Most people that have an acting school

It's not, you know, james franco had a fucking acting school. You know, I didn't go to that one You know and look he ended up fucking molesting women. I don't know what the fuck he was doing over there What's the other guy the guy from fucking uh, he was in death Death wish and all that shit. I forget bloomberg Eric greenberg, whatever his fucking name was. He's like a he's like a real star He was in a couple big-time movies He had an acting school and I heard it was a fucking joke over there with women and shit like that so Unless you know, and then I met james coburn years later

And he's the one that told me to get out of acting class that you had natural instincts But to make a long story short After my debacle with fucking baseball, I was like, I gotta figure this shit out. So yeah, I went on the road I disappeared I did two fucking weird tours. I disappeared and then when I came back and settled in in 99 Right before I met fucking terry I got into an acting class and while I met terry in the beginning like if I My anniversaries 4th of july with terry. I think by august Of 2000 I had forced myself into an acting class

And this time it was a a big time one And so I could really be prepared. I had gone to like this guy Frank something on schrader. He had like an actors core, but he didn't like stand-up comics It was monday nights From seven to nine I always had to leave because I always had a spot at the improv Or at latino night at the lab factory. So I always had to leave So he would get pissed off at me. There were cheap acting classes So I learned the basics the guy that really really taught me how to fucking lay it down

Was I had a black acting coach a little african-american gay guy Had this little acting class on saturday mornings. I found out it was dropping It was like $20 droppings and I started to he was over by gawa by Waffles and chicken over there They had these little huts while for hollywood between hollywood and sunset and I really He really explained it to me how to go like three acting teachers Before I fucking knew what the fuck they were talking about and then once I went to avana chubbock Which is the cream of the crop acting in 2000?

I started attending seminars. I started going to casting directing seminars and I started fucking going to You know reading workshop cold reading workshops and shit like that that were isolated like tuesdays at seven o'clock I was in town I would pay the 50 bucks just so I could meet that casting director But you know what it was all fine and dandy and I was auditioning for shit But I wasn't booking anything And then a show came on the air called the fucking sopranos And I happened to look like one of the guys and my fucking life changed

You know by the by the second by the beginning of the second season of the sopranos For people who went through it and who remember it, which is 2001 and 2000 this The television system had become everything mobster I you know, I can't count You know, I try to find my I have movie call sheets I have a couple of commercial call sheets But I don't have all my commercial calls. I have a lot of fucking movie call sheets

That I released from time to time on patreon, but Commercial call sheets. I don't have I could be fucking I'm sure conservatively from 2001 To 2003 or four I shot Let's just be to be fair

four commercials a year That you have I shot 12 commercials in three years four years That you people never saw never knew I shot From penzole to Verizon cable To fucking Pepto Bismol to fucking What's the diehard battery for seers? I did all those commercials, but they were mob related You know, I'm doing

NFTs I talked about this. I'm doing NFTs Pretty soon. I'm gonna incorporate it with my patreon I'm doing an nft of me and lee. I'm doing an nft of There's different pictures that I have throughout the years from the county store I'm gonna probably do 10 of them at 20 hours a piece and then auction stuff off I have a new idea the florentine crime family put it into my head I want to do the NFTs and then I'll sell them through patreon And I'll pick one person every month

Who wins the nft? And they do a zoom into the joint for 10 minutes Which they buy the nft too of them doing the zoom The only one person could buy it so we're gonna fucking start fucking around with NFTs here But this isn't the point of this conversation The point of this conversation was that after the Sopranos came out I have to thank them because

Because of them I started working constantly Constantly constantly And it and it and it opened up a door for me because I resemble somebody That's my little secret that I shouldn't tell you but I'm telling you That the reason why I got started in movies and acting was because the Sopranos blew up So when I would go into these auditions I looked so much like vince and pastore That they would hire me for all those commercials pens or this night to the seers commercial that was brilliant

It was me and some other chuch fucking digging Uh, we got a guy in the trunk and we're digging and we have the headlights on And we're digging we're digging we're digging we put the chuch in the hole And then we go start the car the battery's dead And that says die hard next time go to seers and all this shit But what was happening was before the commercials aired Fucking the italian american organization was cutting them down going Again, you're insulting fucking italian americans

So you didn't see my commercials. I must have shot like I said 12 commercials I know for a fact pens all we put a guy in a trunk and we open up in the cameras looking at us Uh seers we we had a guy in a trunk I still got the picture of me One of the nft's is me big digging the trench and this fucking seers commercial So i'm putting that out, you know I But what i'm trying to get to if it wasn't for the sopranos and it wasn't a vince and pastore

I wouldn't have booked shit. So what did I do? I called vince and pastore and I asked him if he'd come on uncle joey's joint and he said yes I hope you enjoy it. It's vince pastore for the next couple minutes. Enjoy cocksuckers uncle vince It's my residual checks. I don't know you nothing cocksucker. You owe me money This is getting out of hand I'm not taking none of your work. You're gonna have to grow a goatee catch up with me. I hear you. You're always doing something How are you vince?

Well that because I'll tell you what happened. They told me they were looking at you and tony serigusa Who who got it tony serigusa you know, I got it, but they were looking at you and serigusa serigusa Right and then I got fucked up one night and I'm like how to fuck No disrespect vinny, but I'm a comic Adam sandler's a comedian.

You don't know how many people I got a thousand Like one of the sopranos was on the air and you were on the air Yes, I have thousands of stories of when I would come to jersey to visit They thought it was you I went to a shop right one day and the manager bought my groceries He thought it was me. He thought it was you I I went into two. I went into a donut shop because I was lost On the 34. It's like 10 miles from here from my house now I was lost on route 34 and I saw I saw a donut shop and I saw two cop cars

I pulled in and I went to one of the cops and I go. Hey, man. I'm lost. He looked at me He thought it was me. You thought he thought it was you So the one cop got in front of me and the one cop got behind me with their lights on And they made sure I got home. Okay. So you didn't say nothing. So you want to fucking say something You've been copycatting me for a long time now. Fuck yeah. Why would I say something that we finally had this confrontation on your podcast To discuss this because I I'm proud of you Joey. I love you. I want to work with you No, I want to work with you too. I've been dying to work with you. I've been dying to find something Then there were when uh, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo Caprio are doing some movie about flowers or something

So, uh, but you're in saints in New York, right? Newark, right? Yes, but no green book. Did you read for the green book? No, I know nicky, but you were in green book too. No, no, I know nicky, but he didn't put me in green book I didn't read for it. It was tough. No, nicky said it was tough. But talk to me about uh, Now I'm gonna ask you questions.

No, I came we had assigned stuff You know the deal Well, I know a little pussy because the kid who plays little pussy is but come to my acting class is great Great kid samson and john. He's the one that turned me on to you It was samson who told me you had the class Oh

Because he was coming to class with little steven and yeah, okay, and then the other person is john um McGarrow McGat McGarrow, he's in the saints and who he plays silvio as he was young and I just did a movie with him um Called birthday cake So it got a lot of up and coming actors playing the kids and then you got uh, then you got jimmy's kid jimmy's kid you got ray You got john burnt all who did a fucking great job

Alessandro who had on the podcast last week You know great people. I learned from some uh, I learned some great stuff on that movie Vinnie September 24th Well, that's smart because they they're waiting for everything to die down. Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, what's crazy, Vinnie? Let me tell you the real story. So when I started acting I booked on my own. I booked a pilot. I booked a movie called basketball And then yeah, okay, then I went like a little bit of a cold streak

I had to do a bunch of college films, which is okay. I didn't know what I was doing as an actor So I started doing a lot of low budget movies a lot of uh College movies, you know shit that people won't see yeah, but that's how you learn. That's how you learn I must have done a year of that and then the Sopranos was coming out And I came to new york And and I had reels

I had put together reels and My manager called me and he goes drop one off at global Drop one off on another company and drop one off at shila Jaffe Jaffe's office Because they're looking for this thing for the Sopranos I dropped off the other two tapes. I never dropped off the Soprano tape. I'm like, I can't sing Oh, oh, yeah, because uh stupid you you thought it was uh an opera some shit. Yeah, so I'm not going over there

I forgot all about it a year later. I'm in cleveland And I'm watching this mob movie on tv and I'm like, this is what I read for I was supposed to read for holy shit Then I went back that summer to carolines And the girl saw me the assistant to shila to georgeen walken And she saw me that night at the toyota comedy festival And she goes can you come in and read that was for the second season? So I read for the fbi agent

I read for gg I read for bakala. I read for producers on all of them But I was too green. I was shaken my sheets were shaken in front of david chase I was too fucking green. Yeah And then years later they contacted me because I kept in touch with georgeen Anytime I booked something I would send her a reel of it anything mafia related Once I got analyzed that I sent her a reel And then she called me in to play your brother

For four episodes This was after you were gone already. Yeah And I had I was working on spider-man 2 at sony And they contacted me and they said we want you to put this audition on tape For the sopranos. I said absolutely They go can we fax you the sides? I go listen Don't fax me the sides because I'm not home. I need to press that button when when you're home

To get the facts I send it to the comedy store. So I had him send it to the comedy store They sent sides for me and they sent sides for a comedian named damai rara. Do you know what that is? I know dami's a friend of mine great guy so Without me knowing one of the waitresses Called spoke to somebody at the sopranos just off like the way i'm talking to you

And said, you know joey dears and damai rara Are reading for the sopranos That was like on a tuesday night on a friday night. I get a call From george an walking telling me that I got fired because Stank the material went out. I told somebody that I was resized one out and the sides went I didn't show them to anybody. Yeah, but I went to the comedy club. I see what's going on. Yeah So you got fired you got fired before you got hired. I got fired before I got hired Well, that's not a bad story because he still ended up in the saints of new work. So they probably still love you

Yeah, but it was different casting for the saints in new work Oh, who did the cast? Oh dug about I think so I think so. I don't remember off hand And uh, you know, I I don't want to get you in trouble with david chase because I know how david is Um, but did you um audition for a particular role? Did they offer you something? No, I auditioned for a particular role. Yeah, and they called like a week later. Okay. All right So I guess I can't ask you if you're dead. No It was great. I tell you working with him

Was great for me Vinny I needed that No, of course you do what happens just like anything else in In entertainment, you got to take the gambles. You got to step up like this whole pandemic has been driving me nuts But I learned to readjust my life. I put I got a couple of computers in my office I've been working on stuff a lot, you know, um, I'm starting to break out now. I'm starting to book my band again Uh, me and johnny got a podcast and please come on and do our thing We would love to have you me and go by johnny. We're going up to second. Yes. I'm trying to stay. Um

Relevant and sharp absolutely to stay sane Now what are they telling you about the theater space? When are you allowed to go back there september? No, you can go back. You mean the school? Yes. The school is we're going to reopen in the fall Um, but a lot of off-roadway stuff is opening up. And otherwise if there's a 300 cedar Then maybe you can sell 150 seats. So it's all coming back. But there's no, you know, you notice no money in uh, theater No, no, but you learn you learn, you know So if you've got time and you want to you know, start working on requiem and stuff like that You start working on it in classes or in zoom and stuff. But the the best way

Is to get work like, um Listen, come on chris chris. Maloney's got a new hit show. What's it called? Law and order organized crime Yeah, come on. You don't belong on that. Did you go in for it? You don't belong on that I asked you a fucking question. Did you go in for it? No, I'm wait me neither I don't they don't look, you know Wow, they don't call maybe they want people that I'm not recognized. But my friend john bianco's uh

I saw chaz on it Chaz was good. He was smart. He got killed in the first episode That's the only person I saw on it. Now you can go back to work on um another show. Um, godfather hollam uh Katina duchy's on that This isn't off of you This is again, I want to tell you something joey because I'm on the new york local and I'm on the national board with Say after and the work is coming back to new york. Is it really?

Yeah, I gotta put no additional on tape for what's his name? today for uh a uh woody harrelson movie Justin Trudeau movie, okay, you should be telling people Why not? Because they're all gonna try to get this they're all of a sudden a hundred people know right now They're all gonna go they got a hundred to one odds. No, but they're looking for a specific type of looking for cubans

Really? Yeah, I'm a fucking cuban The cuban talked to me, you know, I was watching Andy Garcia on tv last night. You should have him on your podcast He's a tough nut to crack. Oh, he's got a new television show coming out Does he? Yeah, he's got a new movie coming out. So I was gonna talk to him on a new movie They're redoing Fuck those movies steve martin The daddy when he when he marries the father of the bride. Yeah, they're doing it with a cuban family

So i'm expecting a call for that. Oh, you gotta get on that as a cuban uncle, you know something the fucking crazy cuban uncle So once I talk to andy on that, maybe I'll have him on the podcast and talk some shit, you know Andy's a good person. Andy Garcia. I was watching my godfather three this morning How young he was? Yes. Yeah, he was yeah, but he's it but um Yeah, new york is the work is coming back. I'm a little happy. I haven't been left job. I had was for um mbc from new york's eve It was a comedy skit with that amber ruffin. I have more working But I don't care

I thought you were doing a movie with pauli walnuts up in new york state I don't know what happened to that Yeah, something because I saw the the write up on it a lot of projects that they try to get going because of covid Then they didn't get the green light because they got all those regulations and insurance things they got to go through So the independence are getting hurt In other words me and you're doing independent. Let's say we got 300,000 dollars for a budget We got to add on at least another 20 000 for the covid issues and then we got to get health insurance and all the stuff So it's bringing in another 20 on top of the budget. So a lot of the guys are getting hurt

See the big budget like I was I was watching out sapienza. He was he showed how he was on the set of this new uh, I saw that Yeah, what did did you see that? Yeah, yeah, but you see a little budget kid would do that No, no, and that I got my shot. Did you get your shot? You know, I'm good and what you want to make out. I'm good But what I'm saying is what's great about it is that now you could go on the set And feel a little better like when I shot saints

We we had to add extra scenes. So we had a shoot in september covid was still out and I got to see what the work was like And how much went into it, you know, the food that gets shipped on set now There's you know, what a lot of people didn't know was that sag. This is what I didn't like venny This is what I wasn't happy with Covid's a disease that's taking lives, you know, whatever you believe whatever So if you're doing a movie, you got to be extra fucking careful I heard that sag correct me if i'm wrong. You know, you're on the board

You're more involved with that. I heard that sag Sent an email to actors that made less than 7 000 a year 8 000 a year saying that they were looking for onset personnel as covid agents And all they had to do was go online Read for two or three hours. This is what I heard. I don't know how true it is What do you mean by covid agents? Do you mean the guy that works on the set to make sure everything's okay? Right. Yeah, I kind of believe in that. I had a covid guy On each set they gotta have somebody there and it can't be an actor. It can't be production

No, but I this is what I heard. I heard they were getting actors And using them training them like Making them read three pages Making them take a quiz and then they they go like listen meet producers Meet actors meet directors. This is a perfect job for you And now they made them covid agents. I didn't like that I wanted somebody who knew at least fucking have a nurse so I could feel confident. Oh

So what they did was they got three angry women three of the angriest women in the world Because they're the only ones that could pull this off A guy can't come up to you and go hey get the fuck away from Vinny But a woman could come up to you and say hey get the fuck away from him and it's okay So you gotta get three angry women And one nurse and you feel better. I feel better But if you're just gonna put regular people there as covid agents, it's not gonna help anybody No, so that's why I've been a little hesitant

Well, I don't know. I don't know if that's true But if it's true The given union act is some kind of a job because we're hurting man I mean the extras out there are hurting There's no extra work and they're gonna be no extra work for a while You can't do like I was doing Wu Tang last year. You know the Wu Tang clan right and um, you had a lot extras You can't do that this year You can't do a constant scene with the Wu Tang clan everybody going like, you know, you can't you know, you can't

This is uh, man Yeah, it's gonna change everything and how everything works for a while and my main business Is stand-up Vinny, you know, and that's yeah, but the stand-up you can make money because I you know, but listen Johnny My guy goomba, you know goomba, johnny. Yes. He's running around with um Anthony rodea And they're running all over and that I said how the hell you played these venues. He said Vinny They do social distance. You don't even meet the audience

No No, but you gotta be very careful because sometimes I got a meet and greet in june down at ywood and I told the guy setting it up Listen, I don't care if I got the shots. I don't know about these people who're gonna come to see me They could take a picture, but it's got to be socially distanced. You got to have like a backdrop and nobody's gonna complain They're not gonna complain. I don't want to get sick. You want to get sick? I don't get sick No With my business, I don't want to do stand-up. I was doing stand-up Vinny. I was trying to do stand-up I was doing stand-up every week, but then there was about there where the waitress got it

The owner got it People and I had had reconstructive knee surgery I also got knee surgery in january Yeah, so i'm trying to mend this so I got my shot last week with my luck. It's fucking johnson and johnson All right, what's the matter with johnson and johnson? Ah, they say it's causing fucking blood clots and women It killed six women or something. Hold on. Hold on. I gotta die right now. Hold on I know So we can't walk out of the house stop did you do johnson and johnson?

I Did johnson and johnson so I'm not worried about blood clots. All right, the bites I'm not gonna say nothing about my experience But when I went to get my shot, I probably could have picked up covid just being there Why was that your place was insane? Everybody's on top of each other and you know The first shot was okay. The second shot was a mess I Was telling the girl sitting next to me. I said, we're gonna catch covid just by being here

There was a lot of people there. It was all backed up. It was crazy at the beginning Yeah, my buddy said that where he's going. It's a fucking two hour wait today. Where in north jersey Really, they called him yesterday told him it's a two to two and a half hour wait. So Well, you know what tell them it's gonna be worth it because I tell you what I feel better And I encourage everybody to go out there to get the shots. You feel better. You feel like you can move around It's like They said to me, uh, do you want to start doing some podcasts in person? Do you want your guests in person and I said no, I want them to zoom in until everybody feels safe

But they're actually trying to encourage us to stop moving around joey Well, I'm gonna move into a different studio and I'm gonna have guests then, you know Yeah, but I'm gonna try to zoom it for a while Yeah, yeah, this is out of my house now I don't want nobody coming over to that house. You know what I'm saying? Oh, no No, this is good. This is good. Nobody coming over to that house. What's good about this? You can get the rock zooming in from Hawaii. Yeah, it don't matter. It. No, this is good This is good and it's fun. You watch the late night shows. They still zoom in everybody in because everybody's zooming in

Right, right, you know Vinnie and you said some at the beginning of this and it was funny because it is true I owe you money and I owe you friendship because You don't know, you know money and you are my friend joey. I don't want you to enough these kids going like this to me Andrew, you got to go and joey deal. So joey's my boy stopped You know, I said, I love joey. See, you know what we gotta do We gotta get talk somebody into doing something with me and you some kind of a funny show You know, like we're brothers

We play brothers. There's something that you're right. It's something we play with brothers, you know We got to come up with something to think about it. I mean, you're funny. I'm funny. I'm not as funny as you You're a funny guy. Funny. How funny and then, you know, we do something like maybe, um I don't know. We got to write something and then we film it And you got and you got a little pilot it'd be funny Like something way like i'm a wise guy and then you come over to live with me as some shit. I don't want you in my house You know, maybe you just got in a jail. I don't know. It's not funny Can I just be cuban and maybe you don't like cubans?

No, you're my brother. You play Italian. You're not gonna play cuban You know, I want to do a wise guy thing with you. Okay Well, you want to do cuban? Why could I have a cuban brother? I don't know. Maybe I got to be cuban. Why do I got to be cuban? You could be italian. You could be a fucking italian. What i'm saying is You could be half and half bro like, yeah, maybe that's why i don't like you. Maybe you're half cuban. This is what we'll do I will, what brothers, maybe i'll talk to zandy gosseum from god of the three Little brothers, but we had a different father. Yeah, that's it. That's it. Stop writing it. Where you go

Do we have the same last name? No No We had the same Mother but not the same father and we met through that fucking dna thing We met on uh, we met on a love connection. No i'm 23 and me. We met on 23 and me They told me i had a brother That we had a brother. Yeah, they told me that i had a brother

So it's you and he says he lives in brooklyn all of a sudden you show up and all of a sudden i show up What am i doing? i'm running a nightclub. What am i doing?

You didn't know that 20 years ago when your mother was 18 Yeah, i don't want to mention somebody's name on your show

But i had somebody that a friend of mine that's in that same situation. So that happened It happened back in the day Where if a wise guy had a gulmat on the side It's like him got the guy father three with sonny's kid with vincent. Yeah, that was his gulmat on the side That wasn't his wife. That's why uh, michael takes him in he says you're with us because he's family But you could be like that. Look at this from right in our own sitcom right here on the spot during a fucking zoom During uncle joey's joint. What do you want to call him? Give me a cuban name regular brothers. Now. How do you say brothers in cuban hermano?

That's the name of this show los dos hermanos What is it? Don't fly hermanos with an h no hermanos Wow joey This is a good idea and anybody listening to the show Now pitch it joey. We're pitching it.

Just say, you know, we want to put this together We're looking some investors, uh, you know We want to shoot a pilot and it's going to be and you know, i'll tell you something

I had to go back and forth And I just wasn't in the mood to do it a lot of people don't want to do that no more It's it's um You know, it's it's been crazy. It's really been crazy that as entertainers, you know, we were first to get hit Economically we were and it's hard to get back. It's hard for comedians and actors and musicians to get back Um, and you got to be a little selective on how you get back because we don't want to get sick
