0:00

Should we do the theme song? You ready for the theme

0:02

song? Or ready, do you have your words? Yeah,

0:05

yeah, let us know if you have your words ready, Jim. Are

0:07

you standing for this podcast? Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready. He's

0:10

proud. Okay, here we go. Alright, normally.

0:12

Here we go. Pretzels.

0:18

Cookies. Which

0:21

one is more inappropriate to have at a

0:23

comedy show? You

0:26

might find out, and I don't know how

0:28

that would be, but Jeffrey and Jack Packard

0:30

and Forrest. Alright,

0:34

we're starting. Everybody, thank

0:36

you. Thanks for coming

0:38

out for the third

0:40

annual, the third live matter. The third annual?

0:43

We did one six weeks ago. Yeah,

0:47

second annual. Second

0:50

annual, it's one of my Google searches.

0:56

Second double, it all works. What's

0:59

going on, Jim? You

1:02

want to promote some shows? When's this going out? Next

1:04

week. Oh, okay, so I've

1:06

got lots to promote. If you're in

1:08

Australia, we just added new shows in Australia to

1:10

Geelong, an extra show in Canberra, and the

1:12

show in Melbourne sold out, so

1:15

you'll have to travel down to Geelong, and

1:17

the one in Sydney's almost sold out, so get

1:19

under that. Here in America, oh, in Canada, I'll

1:22

be touring with Jimmy Carr across the country. Me

1:24

and Jimmy Carr are doing the Charm Offensive tour,

1:26

the two of us, so if you're in Canada,

1:28

come and check that out. If you're in any

1:30

other part of the world, me and Jimmy have

1:32

decided, you can suck a dick, because

1:34

we're just doing, we're just

1:37

doing Canada. What am I doing here in America?

1:39

I'm going in San Francisco. San

1:41

Francisco, I'm going back up there to

1:43

get me hot, hey? Alright,

1:46

okay. And San Francisco, I'm

1:48

at the Warfield, and that's when? This

1:51

week. This week? Yeah, you

1:53

might want to promote that one. Yeah,

1:55

come to San Francisco. What about for

1:57

everybody here that's actually in Flour?

2:00

If you're actually here in Flappers in December

2:02

I'll be playing the Ace Theatre downtown for my

2:04

one theatre show that I do. Flappers is like,

2:06

oh I thought you were going to promote a

2:08

show here. Yeah. So

2:11

you want to see Flappers empty that night.

2:14

December 14th. December 14th. No

2:16

cookies. Yeah, you know

2:18

why it's not good December 14th? It's better be January

2:20

14th because then people can give it as a Christmas

2:23

gift. Wow,

2:25

what a life. What other ones have

2:27

we got coming? Dan Soder and

2:30

Mark Normand. Yeah, Atlanta, St. Louis.

2:33

You're going to be with Mark Gorman and

2:35

Dan Soder. They're doing like a big thing

2:37

with their headliners in their own right. I'm

2:39

saying it for people who are listening. It's

2:44

not just the fucking hundred and fifty people who are

2:46

here. I'm pointing to the

2:48

ether. But St. Louis and

2:50

Atlanta in September 13th to 14th you'll be with

2:52

Mark Gorman and Dan Soder. Oh

2:54

boy. What's the fucking point

2:56

of that tablecloth? That

2:59

doesn't help anything. All I can see is crumbs

3:01

would get into that. Not

3:04

in a fucking cookie comedy club. I wouldn't

3:06

have that. You

3:08

know what that tablecloth is good

3:10

for? That's a good mushroom one,

3:12

isn't it? Yeah. Because if

3:14

you've never been on Hallucidins, right, you will think that

3:16

mushrooms are a thing where you're like some little devil

3:19

to come up and talk to you. Load of rubbish.

3:21

It's just the table gets a bit wobbly. The little ice

3:24

cream is shimmering. So

3:28

jimjeffries.com for the rest of his tour dates

3:30

if you guys. Jim,

3:32

do you want to tell? I don't know what happened there. Do you

3:34

want to tell the audience about the little radio mix up that happened

3:36

today? What was

3:38

the little radio mix up there? Yeah, what happened?

3:41

Well you're doing press all day. Oh! Oh,

3:43

you're talking about me and the, that guy?

3:45

Yes. Oh okay, so I was doing

3:48

press for the Australian show. What

3:50

you do for Australian Press is they make you go down

3:52

to the colder city and you sit in a little room

3:55

and behind you is they just put just

3:57

a backdrop of the Hollywood side. And

4:00

so I assume they think that

4:02

people think that I'm being interviewed on like,

4:04

Runyon Canyon. So

4:10

I go down there and they double book me,

4:12

but I was such a tight schedule because I

4:14

had to do so many other radio shows. And

4:16

who do they double book me with? Exhibit. Exhibit.

4:20

You remember exhibit from Pimp My Ride?

4:25

And I asked him, I said, why did

4:27

you always gussy up old

4:30

cars? Like

4:32

they never got like a new car. Because they're

4:34

always like, here's a 20 year old Honda Civic,

4:36

we're going to put a basketball court in the

4:38

trunk. That was always

4:40

the thing, we're putting a hoop that will come out

4:43

in the fucking truck. I guess people that couldn't afford

4:45

it, that's why. Yeah, but they never change the engine.

4:49

That's like putting new tits on an 80 year old. Be

4:55

careful, it's LA. I'm

4:58

not saying that people

5:00

don't do it. It's

5:04

just pointless. What is exhibit doing? He's on the

5:06

radio with me. He's

5:09

doing a rap tour. He's actually doing

5:11

a tour, he was going down to Australia to

5:13

do a rap tour. Alright,

5:18

well go to JimDreffy's.com for all your shows.

5:20

He looks the same, he hasn't changed exhibit.

5:25

He's aging like a fine wine. Ticket

8:10

a comedian, we already know each other. You

8:13

do know him but you don't know what he's

8:16

here to talk about. No I don't know what

8:18

he's here to talk about. Yeah, that is. He's

8:20

8:25

No, the guest has done it. I'm

8:28

8:31

need better than the Beatles bloke, he didn't know it. Alright,

8:34

now it's time for our segment. Yes

8:37

though, yes though, yes

8:39

though, judging a book

8:42

by its cover. What

8:44

do you got? Um, okay,

8:47

so it's very hard to judge a

8:49

book by its cover. Normally I pick

8:51

on the people's backdrops and all that

8:53

type of stuff. Just me. The

8:55

backdrop. Is

8:58

it beads? Beard,

9:02

beard, beard, yeah, what was the beard

9:04

advantage? Who was the

9:06

first cop with the beads?

9:08

Probably the first person I would think because

9:10

there wasn't shaving. Right,

9:13

you weren't there, I don't know about that.

9:16

You weren't there, you don't know that for

9:18

sure but no, okay so it's not beads.

9:21

Look, is it something to do with the entertainment

9:23

business? Yes. Is

9:25

it something to do with the movies? Sure. Yeah,

9:28

a little bit. I mean, yeah,

9:31

I wouldn't say that's what you think about.

9:35

What do you mean, that's something you think

9:38

about? Entertainment, yes, movies, you're not going to

9:40

associate with this subject necessarily, but

9:42

yes. Okay, is it music based? Yes.

9:45

Thank you Jack, but you're not the guest. Hey,

9:48

Game Mark. Hold on,

9:50

hold on. Jack got overly excited just

9:52

then, yes. Former,

9:54

former. I don't want to get

9:57

into the people that flappies here, but too early on

9:59

the Christmas. I

10:03

know they're only dipping their toe

10:05

in and they've only done another bit. But

10:08

if that starts to spread to the whole fucking

10:10

room. Christmas

10:13

is warmer. It just

10:15

made me think of one month. I don't

10:17

even know. What are they celebrating? And

10:20

then there's just like a woman's dress over

10:22

there. That's the flappers. That's the flapper thing.

10:25

Is that for sale? Is

10:27

it called flappers because the dress is too high? That's

10:34

perfect. That's

10:36

a perfect joke. Your

10:38

son's like that. Your daughter hated that

10:40

joke. So

10:49

it's music. Is the topic a band?

10:53

No. Give

10:57

me a hint. Don't give me a hint. I don't know if

10:59

you like this person. Oh, it's

11:01

about a person. Oh, is it

11:03

Beyonce? No. Jesus. I

11:06

think Beyonce is overrated. No, they're both second

11:08

option. Yeah, I just think Beyonce, she's very

11:10

good but she's not as good as you

11:13

all think. She's the new world's Johnny Cash.

11:18

If you're a Johnny Cash fan, you're a fucking fraud. He

11:21

had four songs over 50 years. No,

11:24

no, no, no, no, no. We're

11:26

not doing a fucking round of Johnny

11:28

Cash. Is it a podcast on Johnny

11:30

Cash? Yes, that's

11:33

my topic. Is it really? That

11:37

would have been so cool. I know everything because

11:39

I hate him so much. You

11:42

got to know your enemy. All

11:45

right. I'm asking real

11:47

questions first. Jack's got a hint for you.

11:50

Jack's got a hint. I have an audio

11:52

hint for you. Is it a man or

11:54

is it a man? Yes. Audio hint.

11:58

Okay, that was Frank Sinatra. Yeah,

12:00

we did. We did

12:02

it. I need

12:04

to. Hey. That's all we

12:06

can pay. I love Frank Sinatra. What are

12:08

you talking about? I won't like

12:11

Frank Sinatra. The best documentary on

12:13

Palm Springs is Frank Sinatra in Palm Springs.

12:15

That's a hell of a documentary. There's

12:18

nothing wrong with old blue eyes. I'll tell you

12:20

that much. They reckon he ordered a prostitute like

12:22

most people order a pizza. That

12:25

was in a documentary. Yes, Frank Sinatra

12:27

said that. OK, so Daniel Van

12:29

Kerk is a stand-up comedian whose comedy

12:31

is charted at number one

12:33

12:35

12:55

Brothers. Go to his Instagram at

12:58

Daniel Van Kerk, his website, danielvankerk.com. You can

13:00

see a special there. Thank you for being

13:02

here, Daniel. Thank you for having me. Now,

13:08

I didn't say anything about Frank Sinatra, so why don't

13:10

you tell us why you're here to talk

13:12

about Frank Sinatra, how you got to know. I think I was 16

13:15

years old, and I

13:18

stumbled across the original Ocean's 11, maybe

13:20

about 20, 30 minutes into it. I watched

13:22

the entire thing, and by the end of

13:25

it, I just thought he was the coolest

13:27

fucking person I'd ever seen. And

13:29

I then got into the music, I

13:31

bought a CD for my grandmother, and

13:33

then immediately stole it back from her.

13:36

It's a good way that I have to make

13:38

sure you can get things. I'm like,

13:40

I never gave that to you. She's

13:42

like, who are you? And then, you

13:47

owe me money. Again? Stop, stop. Think about it.

13:51

Then I would listen to all of his music, became a

13:53

huge fan of his, and I read

13:55

books about him, and I just love

13:58

Frank Sinatra. like

14:00

Frank Sinatra. I think I'll do so so

14:02

on this on the question. I think so.

14:04

I think I'll do so so. I

14:07

he he didn't

14:09

like Australia Frank Sinatra.

14:11

He famously didn't like Australia. He

14:14

called all of our media a bunch of two-bit hookers

14:16

or something. There's an actual thing in the bit we

14:18

talk about. All right we're gonna ask you a question.

14:20

You know about this right? Yeah and he wouldn't go

14:22

back there if it unless it was for a million

14:24

but anyway yeah I know about that. I think that

14:26

might be a question. We'll see. All right so what

14:28

I'm gonna do I'm gonna ask Jim

14:31

a series. Ho broken. You grew up there.

14:33

Next question. Jim

14:37

jeffries.com for tourism dates. I'm

14:40

gonna ask Jim a series of questions about Frank Sinatra.

14:43

He's gonna answer them all. At the end of

14:45

answering those Daniel you're gonna grade him on his

14:47

accuracy 0 through 10. Okay. Jackson grade him on

14:50

his confidence. I'm gonna grade him 0 through 10

14:52

on how hungry I am and we'll

14:54

add those scores together and guess what I

14:56

did not make any categories. I can do

14:58

it. What? What? I can be a ring-a-ding-ding.

15:01

I don't know what you're gonna do. I

15:03

hear it's like when they sing songs and

15:05

they say ring-a-ding-ding and you know what I

15:07

mean. I went

15:09

a bit Elvis there. I don't know what I was doing.

15:11

Very good. What about 11 through 20? 11

15:15

through 20 is uh hey you

15:17

broad. Perfect.

15:20

I just I want to bring I know I

15:22

know it's this old time but we want to

15:24

bring back broads. It's a great

15:26

turn. There was a few broads over there.

15:30

21 through 30 that would be about four. When

15:33

you were over there it was um uh

15:35

is is uh mild racism against Sammy

15:38

Davis Jr. although he did let him

15:40

play in the clubs so he

15:45

was very good to Sammy Davis

15:47

Jr. but some of those race

15:49

were oh that's the category. Yeah.

15:51

Okay. Okay. You're not gonna get

15:53

that one because we're not repeating

15:55

that one. So okay first

15:57

question. What year was Vulture Notcha Born? and

16:00

where? There you go, questions up here. Dun

16:02

dun dun dun dun. I

16:06

want to say, because I remember when he died,

16:08

and he died in what I

16:10

would like to call the 90s. Um... You're

16:15

allowed. Yeah, and because there was that

16:17

Jew at Sam's house, he was probably in his late 80s when

16:19

he died, he

16:23

got buried with a packet of

16:25

camel cigarettes because he loved the

16:27

smoking. Um... So

16:30

I want to say, he was born in

16:32

1910. Okay.

16:40

You don't wear? I think you said it

16:42

already? Hospital, hoe broken. Okay.

16:46

How many pounds did he weigh when he was born? Um...

16:50

Seven pounds, two ounces. Okay. All

16:54

blue eyes. He

16:56

nearly died at birth. What two methods were

16:58

used to save his life? More

17:01

cigarettes. Alright

17:04

guys, there's a restaurant in the

17:06

wind called Sinatra's. Very

17:08

good. Well... You

17:11

didn't like it? The pasta was over cooked. Don't like me

17:13

pasta, I have a bit more bite, right? But

17:15

they said that someone comes up and

17:17

goes, this is how Frank liked these

17:19

food. This is his clam, da ba

17:21

da ba do. And this is...

17:25

This was his grandmother's recipes that

17:27

were passed down to his niece.

17:29

And this is what Frank used

17:32

to eat. And he goes, ooh.

17:35

And then you remember that he can't smoke 40 a day.

17:38

He can't smoke 40 a day.

17:41

He's drinking a liter of fucking Jack Daniels

17:43

and like, oh, let's... He

17:45

wasn't a fucking food critic. So,

17:49

nearly died at birth. What

17:51

two methods were used to

17:53

save his life? It was

17:56

an umbilical cord around his neck. And

18:00

he's like hey, what are you doing hanging around?

18:05

What were the methods you say in his life?

18:07

Oh He

18:10

nearly died Exhibitors

18:15

got the court. This is kind of cool.

18:17

That's that good thing. Oh crash

19:53

it nailed it Which

19:55

big band it's not your first game major attention

19:57

with as a singer Glenn

20:02

Miller then. Early

20:04

in his career, what did his publicist pay

20:06

women to do? It's

20:12

not that shocking. We still do it to this

20:14

day. What's the day?

20:16

Throw underwear. Or scream. Early

20:21

in the 1940s and stuff, you don't want underwear being flung on the

20:23

stage. Tom

20:26

Jones, you get the underwear. In

20:30

the 60s and 70s. I'm

20:33

going to say scream. Sinatra

20:35

had a famous group of friends known as the

20:37

Rat Pack. Can you name them other main four

20:40

members? Peter Lawford,

20:43

Sammy Davis Jr., Dean

20:45

Martin. That's

20:48

just three, isn't it? Who

20:50

am I missing? Dean

20:53

Martin, Sam Zimchian, Peter Lawford.

20:58

We have their own guest. Well, you'll find out later. It

21:02

wasn't Jerry Lewis. He was on the outs already.

21:04

I think he'd be on the outs. Jerry

21:07

Lewis has been hanging out with Dean Martin. He got

21:09

three of the four, if you remember to come back.

21:11

What was his signature drink? Jack

21:13

and Coke. What

21:16

was the name of the character in The Godfather

21:18

based on Sinatra? The

21:21

guy slept next to the horse's head. That was the producer

21:23

who slept next to the horse's head to get him into

21:25

the movie, which is the movie

21:27

From Here to Eternity, which was based

21:30

on, whereupon Sinatra did actually win the

21:32

Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. But

21:35

funny you should ask. Sometimes

21:38

you're doing a Karnak thing, when you're wearing

21:40

a hat. But I'm

21:43

going to say his name was

21:46

Steve. Any

21:49

last names? Steve O. He's

21:52

a Italian. Oh, Steve

21:55

Rabioli. That

21:58

is his name. His

22:00

last hit came in 1980, what was it? His

22:03

last hit? Oh, in 1980? Last hit? It

22:06

was it? Because it...

22:08

Hmm... It could be my way. Because

22:16

my way he tried doing very early

22:18

on in his life and it just

22:20

didn't have the resonance because you were

22:23

like, well he's not old, right? And then

22:25

I know he tried it once and then he had another go

22:27

at it, it had a hit. And Elvis

22:29

had a hit with it in his 30s because we were

22:31

like, that cunt's going to be dead soon. I

22:37

think you answered this already. Frank Sinatra won an Academy

22:39

Award for Best Supporting Actor. From here to eternity. Okay,

22:41

how did he get the part? His

22:44

manager put a horse's head in the

22:46

cunt's head. What

22:49

significant political figure did he campaign for?

22:52

JFK, where he actually built like, only the

22:54

state in Palmer Springs, he built like a

22:56

little house for JFK that could have secret

22:59

service and stuff around it and then John

23:01

F Kennedy didn't visit him and he had

23:03

a little fucking spat about it afterwards for

23:05

JFK. He had

23:08

a tumultuous relationship with a famous actress. I

23:10

had the gun. Okay. I'm

23:12

doing well now. Which tune is

23:15

known as the signature song? New

23:17

York, New York. Or, you

23:19

know, under my skin, but you know...

23:23

But New York, New York would be the one,

23:25

yeah. What hotel do you have a long standing

23:27

performance residency at? In

23:31

Vegas. Yeah, the

23:33

Saints. Alright, I'm gonna skip ahead.

23:35

We'll get to this one, but we'll get to the... No,

23:38

I'm gonna skip that one. Why? No,

23:40

no, no, no, that one. Frank Sinatra was also

23:42

known for his humanitarian efforts. Name one significant contribution

23:44

he made in this area. For

23:49

humanitarian. All

23:53

cigarettes for kids. Now

23:57

it's cars for kids, but it was cigarettes for kids.

23:59

Bill Horne. It's a horrible commercial. Still

24:01

a horrible commercial. Six, six cigarettes for kids.

24:05

800 cigarettes for kids. Even the

24:07

hardware is a spell for kids.

24:09

Emphysema. What was the name of

24:11

his record label that he found

24:14

in 1968? I want to

24:16

change his birth weight down to 6 pounds

24:18

because I'm sure his mother would have been

24:20

a smoker. Still

24:23

wrong, but we'll let you change it. You

24:26

know that Sinatra just fell out.

24:28

Hey, a rigga ding ding. I've

24:31

been cramped up in there for so long.

24:34

Record label name. 1960, he found it. Capital

24:37

Records. Okay. What actress

24:39

was 21 when she married a

24:42

50-year-old Sinatra? Mia Farah. And then

24:44

her daughter was 16 when she

24:46

married her dad. Woody

24:51

Allen, I'm referencing. Oh,

24:54

I'm not allowed to tease the pedophiles now.

24:58

What are we doing? I made her make a

25:00

joke about the pedophiles and you're like, oh. I

25:02

say, this guy's ex-wife sucked a lot of dicks and

25:04

you're all applauded. And

25:07

then I mentioned Mia Farah

25:09

and you're like, oh. Sinatra

25:12

was the one who married her when she was 21. What

25:16

is one thing Sinatra said no man should ever do

25:18

at night? Um,

25:23

anal? Day

25:25

anal. Only day anal? Yeah,

25:27

because if you do it through the day, you can feel

25:29

your own shame. It's

25:34

well lit and you're like, ah,

25:36

there's shit on my dick. I

25:42

brought this on myself, really. When

25:46

you do it, if you do it at night, you

25:48

can do. What

25:53

was Sinatra known to do to any man in a restaurant when he didn't

25:55

like their tie? I

25:57

want to give a real answer to that last question. Look

26:00

at the answer wasn't anal. Oh yeah,

26:02

what did he think no man should

26:05

ever do at night? Um...

26:08

Yeah, I... Still

26:11

anal? I

26:14

think it's like asking out a girl,

26:16

you should really do that sober. I

26:19

don't know. I'm gonna say

26:21

six. I'm gonna say six. Okay. What

26:24

was the notcher known to do to any man in a restaurant when

26:26

he didn't like their tie? He'd

26:28

cut it off or he'd give him...

26:31

He was a very big tipper. So

26:33

he might have given 100, hey buy yourself a

26:36

new tie. Hey,

26:39

hey I played Madison Square Garden. I'm

26:42

talking... So I'd say an answer to

26:44

the same person in my mind. It's

26:46

uncanny when you do it. People

26:50

say I can't do the accent. They won't

26:52

let me act in the accent but I

26:54

think after this podcast... What?

26:59

Two more questions. What was one thing Frank

27:01

Sinatra said that he never did in his

27:03

entire life? Oh,

27:07

um, no, you would have done anal, don't

27:09

worry about it. Maybe

27:12

not received but he definitely gave. Um,

27:17

two things that he never did in his entire life.

27:19

One thing he said he never did in his entire

27:22

life. Went six hours without a cigarette. Okay.

27:24

And then last question, why did he get stuck

27:26

in Australia? Okay, so he didn't like the media

27:29

and the Australian media. Look, I've been the brunt

27:31

of the Australian media myself and even saying this

27:33

they won't attack him and they can get a

27:35

little precious history. And

27:38

they said that he was a two bit

27:40

singer or something stupid like that. And he

27:42

called all the Australian press a couple of

27:44

two bit hookers or something. You'll

27:47

find the quote. And then he said, and

27:49

this is like in the early

27:51

80s, he said I will not come back

27:53

to that country unless you pay me a

27:56

million dollars. So in today's money, he got

27:58

paid about $6 million for the two. London

28:00

concert and there was a guy called Christopher

28:02

Skase who owned MGM for

28:04

a while and

28:07

then it turned out he had been with a

28:10

whole lot of money and he ducked off to

28:12

Mallorca where he acted like he had a lung

28:14

problem forever and he couldn't fly again and we

28:16

all said you're a liar come back to Australia

28:18

and face the fucking face of the concert. Then

28:20

he died of that lung as he turned out

28:22

he was telling the truth. So

28:27

Christopher Skase was the person who

28:30

paid for Frankston after the come out

28:32

and he had Peter Allen the boy

28:34

from Oz open up for him who

28:36

was famous for do

28:42

a podcast on him one day.

28:44

I'll be the expert. Lots

28:48

of animal. All right and so

28:50

yeah so that's what he was getting. He

28:52

definitely did. Peter

28:56

Allen was so gay that he married Liza

28:58

Minnelli. That's

29:05

just gay an act as you can do. Have

29:08

a heterosexual marriage with Liza Minnelli. All

29:13

right Daniel we're done with the question. Okay.

29:15

How did Jim deal on his knowledge of

29:17

Frank Sinatra's year through ten times the best.

29:20

I almost feel like a seven.

29:22

Yeah. What

29:27

was that? What was that getting? Fuck your mom's

29:30

pasta. What was this? What do we call that?

29:32

What the categories were. I'm gonna be the top

29:34

one. Jack, confident. He's giving me a thing. He's

29:36

giving me a thing. I was gonna give you

29:38

eight because you admitted you didn't know some answers.

29:41

Yeah but I did it confidently. Yeah. You

29:44

confident in the video? Yeah you confidently

29:46

didn't know. Jack, he takes a big

29:49

man to admit when he's wrong. All

29:51

right ten. I'm not very

29:53

high. I just ate three pretzels backstage.

29:55

I'm not that hungry. Yeah that's the

29:57

most well-rounded meal you can have. They

30:00

reckon you can live off that. If

30:02

you eat it with the cheese sauce, it's

30:04

got all the essential amino acids. The mustard

30:06

is a vegetable, so it's pretty good. A

30:08

lot of fiber. So zero point to that.

30:10

That's like, and they did the long pretzels

30:12

as well. Like, you had one. How did

30:15

you find your pretzels, you enjoy? It

30:17

looks like a nice pretzel. But it's

30:19

like, have you noticed that like Subway

30:21

now is just doing everything foot long?

30:23

Footlong cookie. Subway sandwich is just like

30:25

this. They go, we need a promotion.

30:27

And then one kid went like this.

30:29

Well, you know, we're famous for our

30:31

footlongs. Sorry? I

30:34

said we're famous for our footlongs. Give

30:37

me some paper. Name

30:40

some foods. Celery.

30:42

No. More

30:46

decadent. Cookies. Pretzels.

30:54

Everything we sell is going to be a

30:56

foot. If

30:58

you go in there now, they have the calories

31:00

on the menu and the footlong pretzel is like

31:02

300 calories. What are the other ones? There's the

31:04

footlong cookie. And then the cookie is like in

31:06

a chair and now it's a calorie. There's a

31:08

footlong churro. So some fat fuck could

31:11

go in there and get all

31:13

four at once. Just have a

31:15

tray of all the footlongs. Daniel,

31:17

we're done with the question. I feel like I lost the

31:19

crowd when I said fat fuck there. I

31:24

got three of the footlong cookies one night. I always,

31:26

with fat people. Your

31:29

scoring is 15 by the way. I don't even remember what you said.

31:31

I iced it. No, what

31:33

was the 11 through 20? I don't know. It

31:38

was like, hey you broads or something. That was the middle

31:40

one. A rig of ding-ding. Yeah, Randy. All

31:42

right, so what year was Frank Sinatra born and where Jim said

31:44

he was born in 1920 in Hoboken? Daniel.

31:48

He was born December 12th, 1915 in Hoboken, which is five years

31:50

off. Not

31:53

too bad. He would have been just

31:55

after the war. His parents would have

31:58

been getting down to business. The

32:00

economy is good, it doesn't feel like another war

32:02

is going to come forever. And

32:05

Jim thought he weighed 6 pounds because his mom

32:07

would have smoked cigarettes, but how much did he

32:09

weigh? They would have encouraged his mother to smoke

32:11

cigarettes in those days. Yeah, that is a thing

32:14

they did. It didn't work. He weighed 13.5 pounds.

32:19

Wow. Okay, so

32:21

I weighed 10.5 pounds.

32:24

Me too. I was

32:26

considered a very big baby. And

32:28

my mother, I

32:31

didn't know her before I was born. But

32:37

she was never a happy person

32:39

in my lifetime. In

32:42

my lifetime, my mother was never what you'd

32:44

call a joy to be a rat. After

32:48

what you did to her? Fun. And that's

32:50

what I did. Wasn't a 10.5 pound

32:52

baby. But

32:55

my dad also said after my

32:57

mother died, Jack, what

33:00

did my father say about my mother? She

33:02

had a magical pussy. She had a magical

33:05

pussy. That's love. That is

33:07

an actual quote. That's a quote from

33:09

my father. My

33:12

father said when he met my wife

33:14

for the first time, my wife was

33:16

six months pregnant at the time, and

33:19

we had to quarantine for two weeks

33:21

in a hotel room to get into

33:23

Australia during COVID. And he met my

33:25

wife, whereupon my wife is of

33:27

Indian descent, he did say, it's a pleasure to meet you,

33:29

Tazie. I'm looking forward to trying one

33:31

of your curries. He

33:35

said that to her, and I said, Dad, you can't say that. He said,

33:37

why not? I said, because he doesn't make a mother at

33:39

the time. My

33:45

dad then went on to say to her,

33:47

he goes, when me and your mother got

33:49

together, we had a bloody good sex life,

33:52

your mother might have been a big girl and not

33:54

much to look at, but she had a bloody

33:56

magical pussy. It

34:01

may not have been for everyone, but it

34:03

fit me like a glove. This quote is

34:05

so fucking accurate. Me

34:12

and my

34:14

wife, we have this fun game we play.

34:16

I'm sure heterosexual and homosexual people all play

34:18

this game. It's a couple's game. When we're

34:20

at parties, and I'm telling a story, I'll

34:22

tell a story and a little crowd will

34:24

gather around me. I'm good at telling stories.

34:26

A little crowd will gather around me. My

34:29

wife does this fun thing where

34:31

she stands next to me and goes, that

34:33

didn't happen. Lovely.

34:38

I love it because it keeps me on

34:40

my toes. If anything,

34:42

I'd say it strengthens my marriage. But

34:45

when I tell the magical pussy story, I

34:52

had a friend go, that never happened. My wife was over

34:54

the other side of the garden. I

34:56

said, Daisy. Daisy. She

34:59

turns around and I go, what does my

35:01

dad think of my mother's pussy? She

35:03

just rolled her eyes like she had said this

35:05

a thousand times. She rolled her eyes and goes,

35:08

it's magical. It fits him like a glove.

35:16

Frank nearly died of birth. The

35:23

next question. 13

35:25

and a half pounds. What's your method

35:27

to save his life? You said scissors

35:29

to cut an umbilical cord and a

35:31

crash mask. Now

35:34

that I know how fucking fatty he was, I'm

35:37

going to say lipo. He

35:41

was the first baby where

35:43

they go, get that fucking

35:45

vacuum over here. We're

35:49

going to do surgery on the

35:51

baby inside you. This

35:53

is Grace Anatomy season six.

35:58

I assume afterwards he's... mother had a

36:00

retread. Well,

36:02

wait, let's start with... Alright, I've loved him

36:04

again. What

36:07

methods used to save his life, Dan? The

36:10

first method to save his life... Wait, wait, wait, wait. How was

36:13

he dying? He was, I think

36:15

he was born dead or born... Yeah, yeah,

36:17

yeah. Well, first they couldn't get him out.

36:21

And so they used forceps

36:23

to pull him out of her vagina.

36:26

What? They couldn't do it with two

36:28

ships? Hey! Oh, oh! Don't

36:32

forget to get your free cookies, guys. Get your free

36:34

cookies. Cookies for

36:37

everyone! They

36:39

don't normally do that! Merry Christmas from

36:41

Flacken! Alright, we're gonna take a break

36:43

here, everybody, so you can gather yourself

36:45

after that joke. After the bathroom. Forceps?

36:49

Forceps, and as they did this to...

36:52

Sorry, Big, they used ice-sips. Pull them

36:54

out. They get

36:56

a nag-seper in there. To

36:58

pull him out, they caused

37:00

major facial scarring on him, which is

37:02

why he had scars on

37:05

his face. I think it was his

37:07

left cheek and left side of his face. And also

37:09

on the other side, they caught his ear and did

37:11

damage to his eardrum. But it was all

37:13

in an effort to get him out of there. And

37:16

then once they got him out, he was not

37:18

breathing and was unconscious. And the

37:20

second method was his grandmother took

37:23

him over to a sink with running

37:25

water. Wait a minute, was he born in

37:27

a hospital? He was born like... I

37:30

was always under the pressure of going to a hospital. I

37:32

think they just said, you're a woman, get in

37:34

here. Because I've always thought that about... You

37:37

know those people who have births at

37:39

home? You're fucking idiots. It's a fucking

37:41

surgery. It's a really important fucking thing.

37:45

It's a really important thing. You're gonna

37:47

want doctors nearby. And you've

37:49

got some woman who's done an online course who's gonna

37:51

have a go. And

37:53

while you're in the fucking bed... Don't task-grab it,

37:56

you're a laborer. And you're gonna do it on

37:58

the... bed

38:00

where he

38:02

was born in a home he was born in the kitchen

38:04

of his parents house okay the

38:10

bedroom thing they were in kitchen there was

38:12

38:40

my grandma doesn't

38:53

question what were two of the three nicknames Sinatra same as

38:55

you know my and how did you get them you said all

38:57

blue eyes and then that was the middle

39:00

one earlier in the life he was he was just

39:02

called the voice who was

39:04

the voice but that's John Farnham from

39:06

Australia it is we have

39:08

a guy you ever heard it song you're

39:10

the voice trying to understand it take this

39:13

guy can sing man John Farnham you can

39:15

fucking see I'm telling listeners going and he

39:17

know he's he's called the voice but

39:20

he's dying of throat cancer right now so the point

39:22

is that while I was out there

39:24

it's like one of these things like he's been

39:26

dying for like six months and and they keep

39:28

on updating like the in memoriam thing for the

39:30

news we're ready to go on that

39:32

but you want

39:34

to listen to the podcast Johnny

39:36

I hope you're feeling well why

39:38

was Sinatra called the voice I

39:41

mean obviously because he won the

39:43

voice he

39:45

wants season one of the boys there was Bing Crosby

39:47

on a chair like this and

39:51

then he turned around a

39:54

great thing from all He

40:00

used to beat the shit out of his kids. He

40:02

put billiard balls into a sock and hit him with it.

40:07

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He had like four sons

40:09

and he used to kick the living shit out

40:11

of him. He had the five springs where no

40:13

one can hear you scream, you know, right? I'm...

40:18

Dribbble. I'm

40:20

a what? Ba-da-ba-ba-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum.

40:22

Alright, third nickname. What was

40:25

his third nickname? It

40:28

was after he started his record label, which we'll get to in a

40:30

question coming up. From then on,

40:32

he was also referred to as the Chairman of the Board. I

40:34

knew the Chairman of the Board. I knew that

40:37

one window. I knew the

40:39

Chairman of the Board. Because I remember

40:41

when he did that duet album. I

40:43

bought that duet album, like actually bought

40:45

the CD, and there was like Bono.

40:48

It's insane how good you are.

40:52

You know what I mean? You

40:54

know how Bono comes in like this? And then like,

40:56

oh, blue white. And then he's like this... Bono is

40:58

such a wanker about it. Every

41:01

time you see Bono, he's just sort

41:03

of talking effectively. You're not even on

41:05

drugs, Cud. You

41:08

never even see drugs, man. Stop wandering

41:10

around like... And

41:13

he's like, when you meet the Chairman of

41:15

the Board. He's like,

41:17

fuck off, Bono. Are

41:20

you okay? Can you see okay? I think the

41:22

stuff... I don't know. It's right on your forehead. I'm

41:25

sure Bono takes some drugs to take

41:28

the edge off. Hey! Oh!

41:31

Get those cookies. Alright. Nobody

41:33

say four steps. Yeah,

41:35

it is in my eyes, yeah. Is that going to blow

41:37

a note? Yeah, are you okay? The logo's on your forehead

41:39

the whole time. Can you come

41:42

this way? I think it's...

41:44

You've gone this far? I got sensitive

41:46

eyes from doing stand-up. I always see blotches.

41:48

Move over to your left. Nah,

41:50

too light now, Jack. Okay. It's

41:53

sort of... It gives like a Blade Runner

41:55

lighting to what you're up to. Thank

42:01

you, thank you. I feel like a Yaquin

42:03

Phoenix movie. Yaquins

42:07

are being scammed.

42:13

What do you say he knows? I

42:16

don't say Yaquin or whatever. I

42:19

said Yaquin. Nobody says

42:21

that. How do you say he knows? Joaquin. Joaquin.

42:25

Fuck off. I

42:27

say he can fuck off. The

42:30

fucking River parents. I

42:33

don't know the Phoenix parents. Well, what's the part

42:35

of them? The fucking Mr.

42:37

and Mrs. Phoenix with your fucking weight and

42:39

a half names. Oh, this is River and

42:41

Yaquin. Fuck off, guys. Yaquin.

42:45

Yaquin after fucking, oh god, teaching

42:47

little league. Oh, Yaquin, you're up

42:49

to bat. Fuck off, mate. That's

42:54

the fucking Taquin of the 80s. Probably

42:59

born in the 70s. What

43:01

was his nickname as a teen? You said Young Blue

43:04

Eyes? It was Scarface.

43:07

Scarface. That's what the kids called him because they could

43:09

call him a Scarface. Hoo-ha! And

43:12

he had Edward James almost

43:14

acting. I forget what that's called. I

43:17

like that pattern for his safety. Edward

43:20

James almost acting. You know what I mean?

43:22

He had that young Bill Murray. Yeah,

43:25

yeah, yeah. So, I think the

43:27

best mugshot in history is the Frank

43:29

Sinatra mugshot. Frank

43:32

Patelbert. I had it. The

43:34

one that mugshot. The mugshot. And he

43:36

just got a bit of... Google that up first, Jack.

43:39

And the lady's trying to slide off your chair when

43:41

this comes up. It's... I'm

43:45

not sexist. Boys as well. Don't

43:50

get so excited and shit yourself and slide off

43:52

your chair. Look

43:55

at that! Look at that! Frank

43:57

Sinatra. I've never looked that good

43:59

in my life. This isn't a digital camera and

44:01

you know what he was in for? He

44:05

was adultery. You arrested

44:07

twice for that. He wasn't cheating his

44:09

wife. He was just fucking someone else's

44:11

wife. And all the

44:13

men here with wives Come

44:16

on Frank Sinatra wants

44:18

to fuck your life. You let Frank fuck your

44:20

wife. Like I would

44:22

be honored if he would have fucked my

44:24

wife. Did

44:27

people get arrested for that? Forrest

44:30

is like this up to what year? Is

44:34

it still a law? Which

44:38

big bands it's not your first game major attention

44:40

with a singer you said Glenn Miller band. That's

44:42

wrong, but Tommy Dorsey. Tommy Dorsey. And the thing

44:44

is with Tommy Dorsey, so he had a deal

44:47

with him and he had like he owned like a

44:49

big percentage of his career and he could never leave

44:51

and then he used reportedly

44:54

allegedly Frank used his

44:56

mafia connections to have someone go have a conversation

44:58

with Tommy Dorsey. And then he was let

45:00

out of his contract. Lucky Luciano?

45:03

It would have been someone around that era. Later

45:05

on it was the Giancana family, but you

45:07

could be lucky. Lucky, what's he known? Anyone

45:10

know that? He was Lucky Luciano. Lucky Luciano.

45:12

He had a cigarette lighter that was engraved

45:14

to Frank and all that type of stuff.

45:16

Like it was that ran deep there. I

45:18

think very much. Okay, he had four famous

45:20

for, oh I'm sorry, earlier in his career.

45:22

What did his publicist pay women to do?

45:25

Audition pay girls to screen? Yeah, you said

45:27

screen. Five dollars to screen.

45:30

I did that in my early part

45:32

of my career. At

45:36

the end of jokes. Just scream. Just scream

45:38

and run out of the room terrified. It

45:40

made me look edgy. Not

45:43

a great Tommy show. Amazing haunted house. And

45:48

then his famous friends that were the rack back. You

45:50

had them all. I think you said. You missed one.

45:52

Yeah. You said, you

45:54

said My name is Junior Dean

45:56

Martin, Peter Lawford. Joey

46:00

Bishop. Joey Bishop. You guys knew that? I

46:02

heard of Joey Bishop over here. Joey B.

46:04

Yeah, there it is. It was Joey Bishop,

46:07

but he's a comedian. He was the comic

46:09

really bad. And he was good friends with

46:11

Dom Rickles. Mm-hmm. Have you ever heard that

46:13

story that like that? There

46:16

was a question in here, and I figured that would

46:18

have taken, we get to it, but one of the

46:20

questions was... I don't want to tell that story because

46:22

Frank tells it better. Do you want to? Rickles

46:24

tells it. I mean, you can watch him tell it

46:26

on the Carson. It's the best. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do

46:28

you want to tell it? Somebody...

46:31

We can play parks, if you like. Okay. Who

46:33

do you want to be? Any

46:36

park. Do you want to be Frank?

46:38

Sure, yeah, yeah, I'll be Frank. Okay,

46:40

so we're probably a Dantanas. No, we're

46:42

Dantanas, right? So Dom Rickles, he

46:45

walks over to Frank Sinatra, and he's sitting

46:47

over there with... He's got a date with

46:49

a girl, right? He's trying to make good

46:51

with his girl. He's trying to... Done, is

46:53

he? Yeah. What do they say? What do

46:55

the term they say is? Sinatra

46:57

says it in the story. And it doesn't matter. So with

46:59

his bird, he calls her bird. I think he doesn't call

47:02

her a bird. Do they say La

47:04

Fan? So he goes up, and he goes, Frank.

47:07

What does it say? I'm trying to make it with

47:09

his girl. I'm trying to make it with his girl.

47:11

It would mean a lot to me if you could walk up. We're

47:14

friends and everything. If you came over and

47:16

said hello, this would really... Yeah, we do it

47:18

right now or in a little bit. I'm

47:20

going to wait for a bit. I'm going

47:22

to wait until... After the start of the story.

47:24

Okay, all right. Okay, all right. So

47:26

Don goes and sits back down. He's sitting over this

47:29

date, right? About 10, 20 minutes later. Frank

47:31

gets up from his table. I've got to go do this

47:33

thing for Don, right? I'm caught on

47:36

this here. Okay. You

47:38

tell me, buddy, about that, and I'll fucking kill you. He

47:41

walks over and he goes, Oh, Don! Great

47:43

to see you. How are you? This is a date you have

47:46

here with you? What are you doing? I'm trying to talk to

47:48

this girl. True story. True

47:50

story. He comes over

47:52

and goes, What the fuck, Frank?

47:54

I've been here the whole day. He does this all

47:56

the time. He interrupts me all the time. Oh,

48:01

what a good story. For the kids. You

48:04

can watch it on YouTube, everybody. No,

48:06

the theater is so important. I

48:09

thought you guys did a great job. Nobody clapped for you, but I thought

48:11

you guys did a great job. Oh, thanks. There

48:13

we go. We forced it. A

48:15

ring of ding-ding. Now applaud for the

48:18

applause. His signature drink.

48:20

Lady luck. His signature drink you

48:22

said was a Jack and Coke. I believe that

48:24

is correct. It is correct. And then I got

48:26

insecure about it, so I'm like, wait, what if

48:28

I just always thought that? No,

48:30

Jack Daniels was the drink of joy. And

48:32

then some people tried to say it was also a rusty nail. Did

48:35

he enjoy it a rusty nail? I'm like, yeah, he lied. But

48:37

it was Jack and Coke. Jack and Coke was the standard. Jack

48:39

and Coke was the standard. OK. The

48:43

name of the character in The Godfather based

48:45

on Sinatra was it Steve Ravioli. Steve... No,

48:48

you gotta do it. Steve

48:50

Ravioli. Steve Ravioli. Hey, my

48:53

mother, my mother, Ravioli. God

48:56

bless her soul. It was

48:58

Johnny Fontaine. Johnny Fontaine. And so

49:00

Sinatra... The book had

49:02

come out well before the movie, obviously, and

49:05

everybody, everyone read The Godfather.

49:07

And so he was so fucking pissed off

49:09

that he was one of the leading campaigns

49:12

to prevent the movie from getting made. It

49:14

was pressing really hard on the Italian-American League.

49:18

And then he one time

49:20

he saw Mario Pusso at... It

49:23

was like a Dan Panner's restaurant that's gone now here in LA.

49:25

And he tried to beat the shit out of him. He

49:28

confronted him in the restaurant. And then Coppola had

49:30

to separate the two and take Mario out of

49:32

there. The days before camera phones and social media.

49:34

And you could just putt... You can just putt

49:37

in a lot to me if you could walk.

49:40

And here... Heaven.

49:44

You think that would

49:47

hurt your career? You just punched an executive?

49:49

Depends on the executive. Hey, people in

49:51

this town might applaud me for doing

49:53

it. Maybe that guy's an asshole. His

49:56

last hit song came in 1980. What was

49:58

it? You said... way it was New

50:01

York New York that was the last one and

50:03

that became a signature

50:05

song we'll find out anything I think you

50:07

got it backwards you did

50:09

get back along with famously known as

50:11

my way there's

50:15

reports that he hated singing to be like

50:17

oh you're gonna enjoy this more than but

50:19

you can see one of his last performances

50:21

at Madison Square Garden he said

50:23

I will now sing the national anthem but you needn't

50:26

rise and then he went into my way so it

50:28

was a signature song. I love

50:30

my way it gives you chills. Oh my god

50:32

side note speaking of if you ever get a

50:34

chance and you want to see a true I

50:36

mean the great thing about Frank you always said

50:38

this to go back to the Rat Pack he

50:40

was like nobody has more talent in the Rat

50:42

Pack than Sammy Davis Jr. D. Martin has the

50:44

best voice. Joey Bishop's the funniest and

50:49

we'll get into people. I would argue that

50:51

no one, my father's favorite artist

50:53

is Sammy Davis Jr. He could do every

50:55

single thing better

50:57

than anybody else. He may be the

50:59

most talented he's been. 100% agree. 100% agree. And

51:03

you'll have to watch like there's an old

51:05

there's a documentary he's impersonation he could have

51:08

been the greatest impersonator he could do any

51:12

style of dance he could sing in

51:14

any style although towards the end there

51:16

right do you remember the Frank Sinatra

51:18

toured with Sammy Davis Jr. and Liza

51:20

Minnelli right and they

51:22

did a three show and that

51:24

was back because Sammy lost all

51:27

of his money to gambling. His

51:29

widow had fuck all at the

51:31

end. Beautiful swift actress he married.

51:34

His funeral was paid

51:36

for by Frank Sinatra right

51:38

because Sammy Davis Jr. was broke broke

51:41

with the fucking gambling and he was

51:43

he sold his good eye. He loved

51:45

his dick. Yeah it's

51:47

the pop stars. You've never seen that

51:49

episode? Yeah it was not a porn

51:52

star. It's the good eye. I always

51:54

love bringing that fat guy. What's

51:57

the most? The guy who loves cigarettes? The dad. Who's

52:00

the friendly Chumlee Chumlee? Yeah, Chumlee would

52:02

just be like that Oh, Sammy Davis

52:05

Jr's good, eh? Well, a lot of

52:07

people didn't know Yeah, like,

52:09

fucking Chumlee's been given this information

52:11

Oh, of course There's no way

52:13

Chumlee just knows what to fucking

52:15

say Yeah,

52:18

Sammy Davis Jr lost his eye on her fucking You

52:20

remember back in the days, big steering and all that

52:23

sort of stuff Do you remember like when cars just

52:25

looked cool But they weren't

52:27

safe at all They were just like, there was no

52:29

car and it's so unsafe all the time There was

52:31

no seatbelt and it was just, there was a metal

52:33

dome in the middle of the, there was a metal

52:36

spike that would come out of the center of the

52:38

steering wheel in the 1950s Right?

52:41

With no fucking seatbelt And

52:43

if you brake too hard, turns out you lose

52:46

a fucking eye Is that

52:48

how he lost his eye? Yes, I had it now The

52:52

thing I was getting to when we started talking

52:54

about it was, but Frank said, the thing about

52:56

me is when I sing a song I make

52:58

you believe it happened to me, better than anybody

53:00

else And if you ever get a chance, go

53:03

watch Frank Sinatra sing One For My Baby and

53:05

One For The Road The whole thing is, it's

53:07

a stage acting performance He does it with one

53:09

little light, he acts the whole thing out, he

53:11

gets a cigarette and he lights, it is fucking

53:14

magic to see him do that performance One For

53:16

My Baby and One For The Road Alright, he

53:18

won an account of what Sammy Davis

53:20

Jr in that concert, yeah He decided,

53:23

fan of the opera was really popular And

53:26

one of his last two, he was just doing

53:28

the music of the night He was on too

53:30

much coke and cigarettes to hit the high notes

53:32

towards the end And it was like, ohh He

53:37

steals Ocean's Love in the original But

53:40

when he's singing EO11 I haven't,

53:42

I've watched bits of Ocean's Love, I've heard

53:44

it's like a movie, the original one Oh,

53:46

I think it's wonderful, I think it's actually

53:48

great Alright, well speaking of movies, Frank Sinatra

53:50

won an Academy Award For Best Actor, Best

53:52

Recording Actor for his role If I was

53:54

to get upset if the show's pretty flowing

53:58

That was just more of a conversation, you two were having

54:00

right now. What the fuck do you

54:02

think a podcast is? For

54:05

instance I feel like you're essentially trying to get

54:07

a cat to go somewhere but you can't use

54:09

your hands. Have

54:12

you ever seen Forrest's slappy dick

54:14

into a cat to submission? No.

54:17

That's without his hands. Really

54:20

interesting. I've

54:23

seen Forrest's neck is hurting about four of

54:25

them into a corner. Get

54:29

through there you magical pussy. Anyway,

54:33

it was from here to eternity. Fuck off.

54:35

That was the answer. You guys all paid

54:37

for everyone but they fit Forrest like a glove. You

54:43

got this right. From here to eternity. You got it right. It was

54:45

from here to eternity. How did he get the part? You said... He's

54:48

married your cat ahead of him. It would have been

54:51

some pressure or something. No. He backed for the part

54:53

because at this point he was in a big lull

54:55

in his career. This is where I come up in

54:57

a future question and answer. He

55:01

said, I will do the part for

55:03

free if you let me have

55:05

this. And it helped keep the film

55:07

under budget so they said fuck it and gave it

55:09

to him. The studio had a skit. We let that happen

55:11

now. They were getting a lot of people

55:13

saying, hey, give him a chance, give him a chance. And when he said

55:15

he would do it for free they gave it to him. They gave him

55:17

the health insurance. He never looked back. He would have gotten the health insurance.

55:20

Wasn't he supposed to be die hard? Wasn't the original die

55:22

hard? He was

55:24

the original guy. Not just

55:26

that. He was supposed to

55:28

be dirty hairy but because of a pinky injury

55:30

when he was young he couldn't hold the gun

55:33

like the way it's supposed to look normal. So

55:35

he didn't get die hard. And then at the

55:37

age of whatever 70 something he was offered the

55:39

role of John McClain in Die Hard. And he

55:41

turned it down. You got 70? Yeah. 70

55:44

like two or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

55:46

You get these guys. But

55:50

he wanted music in there. Running

55:53

on glass. Now

55:57

I've got a machine gun. The

56:02

tower of my heart. Yippee-ki-yay

56:06

motherfucker! The

56:12

funny thing is that if he was alive he'd

56:14

probably remember the film better than Bruce did.

56:17

Oh, oh. Structurally

56:22

great jokes. Structurally great jokes. He'll

56:24

remember when there's a Willis, there's

56:27

a Wayne. I don't even know

56:29

what I'm saying. The

56:33

funny thing about that joke is he won't

56:35

know and he won't be offended. So

56:38

the only reason that would be a problem is

56:40

if one of you actually leave tonight and tell

56:42

Bruce to do this and then he remembers for

56:44

five seconds how upset he is. We're recording this,

56:46

Jim. That's what they just put out and it

56:48

was just recorded to be released. Do you think

56:51

he remembers to download our podcast? He's

56:54

our biggest fan. Maybe Danny Moore, I don't

56:56

know. Who knows? Maybe not anymore. Yeah, Danny

56:58

Moore right now. Fucking fuming. No,

57:00

but I like how you're like, the only way

57:02

he'll find out is... He goes on YouTube. What

57:05

significant political figure did Sinatra support and even campaigned

57:07

for in the 1960s? Is

57:09

that JFK? And also because you

57:12

know that JFK and Sinatra and

57:14

Luddy had sex with the same woman at the same

57:16

time. For sure. They

57:18

all had sex with Marilyn. All of them! Yeah,

57:20

for sure. Same time. Maybe.

57:23

Same time. Same time. Same

57:25

time. Same time. No, Sinatra

57:28

and Kennedy, not all the people. Yeah. Same

57:31

decade. Like, if Rock Hudson wasn't

57:33

wanking in the corner. I don't

57:35

know. Probably not. Maybe

57:37

if Jim came in there. Maybe if Joe came

57:39

in there. But you went on to say... I

57:41

know I'm looking at Marilyn, trust me. I'm

57:46

looking, I'm looking, I'm looking. Oh,

57:48

that's a nice vagina out there. I

57:52

can see from back here, I can see. You

57:58

look sweaty, you look sweaty. Oh,

58:02

you're doing a great job there, old brown eyes.

58:09

You went on to say that they had a falling out. This

58:11

is so true. So I don't think we asked the question so

58:13

I could say it. Sinatra

58:15

helps get him elected by asking Sam Giancana

58:17

to get the mob in like the Carolinas

58:19

and the Virginians to go to the unions

58:21

to vote for JFK. They all do. JFK

58:24

nominates his brother, Secretary of State. JFK

58:26

promises I'll never go after organized crime

58:29

immediately after becoming president and his brother

58:31

goes after organized crime. So then because

58:33

of Frank Sinatra's affiliation with organized crime,

58:35

he now, the guy who fucking changed

58:37

the lyrics to High Hopes to get

58:40

him into the presidency and

58:42

back them up, he then won't have anything to

58:44

do with Frank. But here's what he does. Frank

58:47

builds this huge wing to his house for Frank Sinatra

58:49

to come stay there in Palm Springs. He

58:52

sends, JFK sends

58:54

Peter Lawford, who's now married into the Kennedy

58:56

family at this point, who by

58:58

the way, had a hard time ever getting a girlfriend

59:00

because when he became an actor, his mom told everybody

59:02

he was gay. So

59:05

he was his mom in

59:08

every bar. Yes. It

59:10

was horrible. Horrible meeting you people. She told

59:12

him I'm running up to these guys. Gay,

59:14

you know. So JFK

59:17

says to Peter Lawford, go tell Frank I'm not staying

59:20

there. I'm staying at things. So Peter Lawford has to

59:22

go to Frank Sinatra who just finished building this huge

59:24

wing in Palm Springs and says, hey, I'm sorry. Jack's

59:26

not coming to stay here. He's staying at things,

59:28

which enrages Frank because being is

59:30

a Republican and didn't even campaign

59:32

for Frank Sinatra for JFK. And

59:35

so after that, Peter Lawford and

59:37

Frank Sinatra never spoke again. Frank held it

59:39

against him. Jack

59:41

just killed the messenger. Peter Lawford.

59:44

He never spoke again. Paul Peter

59:46

Lawford. Sinatra had

59:48

a tumultuous relationship with which famous actress leading

59:50

to a high profile marriage divorce. He said

59:52

Ava Gardner. Ava Gardner. They used to fight.

59:55

But you know, you know, there's couples that

59:57

fight. You know what else they do. Mm-hmm.

1:00:00

Oh fuck. Yeah, we've

1:00:02

all been in that relationship Why

1:00:05

are you with that person? long

1:00:08

story Fuck

1:00:11

a lot. Yeah. Yeah They

1:00:14

met in the 40s and this is during Frank's

1:00:16

downturn and a lot of his depression came from

1:00:19

he was just such emotional bipolar

1:00:21

manic depressive He once called himself a 24

1:00:23

karat manic depressive and in response to losing

1:00:25

Ava Gardner And then he saw Eddie Fisher

1:00:27

having all these long lines outside of the

1:00:29

theater was one of the first or second

1:00:31

of like four Times he came to himself

1:00:34

and he went yeah Frank Witten put his

1:00:36

head in an oven and his manager found

1:00:38

him almost passed out Oh burn guys. Yeah

1:00:43

Of no eyebrows Wait

1:00:46

wait, he's already do it in the oven.

1:00:48

Yeah one of the better way. Yeah, so

1:00:50

what is up is from the bed That

1:00:52

one's just a cry fail Give

1:00:56

me a bit of attention Unless

1:00:58

you got in the oven and shut the door then We're

1:01:01

okay. Solid. Yeah Was

1:01:07

he smoking in there Maybe

1:01:10

he's like the cigarette in there. Then you

1:01:12

got to give credit where credit stew. He

1:01:15

was very committed. Yeah His

1:01:18

his signature song we were my

1:01:20

way In

1:01:22

which Las Vegas hotel that's not travel along

1:01:24

Santa performance residency the sands you said That

1:01:30

one is in the front of the sand sign and then they

1:01:32

occasionally like Elvis was over the Hilton why

1:01:34

this is all going on And they used

1:01:36

to they used to photo bomb each other

1:01:38

shows Every now and

1:01:40

again Elvis in the rat pack with Elvis

1:01:42

in the Memphis, Mafia Behind the red pack

1:01:47

Obviously like a fun guy Frank

1:01:50

Sinatra was also known for humanitarian efforts

1:01:52

named one significant contribution. I think you

1:01:55

said cigarettes cigarettes the case He

1:01:59

was one of of the first financial supporters of Martin

1:02:01

Luther King. Like

1:02:11

he got Kennedy in the office. And,

1:02:14

yeah. And

1:02:21

you were a little tongue-in-cheek about it. However, he

1:02:23

is also, this is because maybe be the dinner

1:02:25

party thing. I don't know. But he is credited

1:02:27

with desegregating a lot

1:02:29

of Vegas hotels. Because when they would go places

1:02:31

like that, even like Tahoe and Vegas especially, they

1:02:34

wouldn't let Sammy Davis Jr. stay there. And he

1:02:36

would tell them, I will never fucking play here,

1:02:38

because you know again if you don't. And then

1:02:40

from that point on, they would allow

1:02:43

black patients. He also desegregated the

1:02:45

country clubs of Palm Springs. You

1:02:47

did as well? Yeah, because like

1:02:49

there was there was Jew, Jewish

1:02:51

only country clubs and no black

1:02:53

people, country clubs and others. Which

1:02:56

were weird hats. Yeah, if Frank Sinatra joined

1:02:58

your country club, anyone else was allowed to

1:03:01

join your country club. And everyone wanted Frank

1:03:03

Sinatra in their country clubs. Yeah. He said,

1:03:05

realize. Doesn't

1:03:07

matter what race, religion or color you are. If

1:03:09

you are a member of a country club, you

1:03:12

are a cunt. So. I

1:03:17

don't discriminate against those people. Sort

1:03:22

of on the tongue. I am an equal opportunity

1:03:24

cunt. Okay. The

1:03:28

name of his record label that he found in 1960 was not

1:03:30

capital. No.

1:03:34

I thought he was with capital records. He was and then he

1:03:36

started his own. That would be, how do you guys want to

1:03:38

say it? Reprise? Reprise. Reprise, I

1:03:40

don't know. I'd say Reprise. I'd

1:03:42

say Reprise. Okay. Wok-wing. Let's pull

1:03:44

the whole thing off. Wok-a-ling. Sometimes,

1:03:48

yeah, with my wife, we

1:03:51

actually do, we had an argument, not an

1:03:53

argument, I'm a wife British and

1:03:56

I'm Australian. And so

1:03:58

we say, tomato. And

1:04:02

my wife, because she lived here long enough,

1:04:04

she went to our site, do you want

1:04:06

any tomato? Like that was the

1:04:08

first American word to come out of her mouth and I just

1:04:10

looked at her like, what the fuck? What

1:04:13

the fuck you done? I said, you said

1:04:15

tomato? And she goes, is that bad? I

1:04:17

go, they wrote a fucking song about it.

1:04:26

Be careful for schedule. Schedule's coming. Yeah,

1:04:29

she says potato on fire. If I'd

1:04:31

let her have my wife go, we're

1:04:33

having potatoes for dinner. Oh God,

1:04:36

I thought no one said that. So

1:04:40

you correctly answered that

1:04:42

he married Mia Ferris. She was 21.

1:04:44

He was 50. I'm not 50 yet. I like your style. I'm

1:04:52

just thinking of me next marriage. Yeah. Oh

1:04:55

God. Just

1:04:57

thinking. Just thinking. Just thinking.

1:04:59

Do what I can do with me next marriage.

1:05:02

Look, I'm very happy with my current one. We

1:05:05

didn't ask this question, but Jim, a member of

1:05:07

his family was kidnapped. Did you know this? A

1:05:10

member of his family was kidnapped and held for ransom. We

1:05:12

didn't ask this question. Do you remember? Do

1:05:14

you know which member? Which member was it? I'm going to say it

1:05:16

was Nancy. It was Frank Sinatra Jr. Yeah,

1:05:19

yeah, yeah. A couple of criminals. Oh, you can't

1:05:21

get Nancy. You can't get Nancy. She's a smiling

1:05:23

face. She'd just walk away with those boots and

1:05:25

pants. There it is. That's what they were made

1:05:28

for. Gang, gang, gang. All

1:05:31

right. I

1:05:33

want to speak quickly about nepotism in

1:05:35

Hollywood, right? Very

1:05:37

quickly. I don't have a joke to do with it,

1:05:40

but we, Frank Sinatra Jr. had a go at seeing

1:05:42

Nancy Sinatra. Obviously he had a hit with these boots

1:05:44

and made some walkouts. And he put them

1:05:46

on all the TV shows. And now

1:05:48

we've got like Johnny Depp's daughter and things. And

1:05:50

we've got different sons and all the Bridges family and

1:05:52

all the other stuff. And people

1:05:54

in the entertainment business, we're all called frauds

1:05:57

and nepotism. I'm already on

1:05:59

the phone. I'm bored of this too.

1:06:01

Yeah, nepotism because we're letting our kids

1:06:03

do things and stuff like that. Okay,

1:06:06

you're all allowed to do it in

1:06:08

your fucking occupation. Yeah. Whenever we see

1:06:10

a truck that says Davis's and son's

1:06:12

removalist, we don't go nepotism. Yeah. Yeah.

1:06:15

Nepotism. No. You're

1:06:18

not selling the roofing business. Yeah,

1:06:20

nepotism. When we see a law

1:06:22

firm called Clark, Clark and Clark,

1:06:24

you know, it goes, oh. Oh.

1:06:27

Oh. Oh. These

1:06:29

boots. We're fucking

1:06:32

morons with very basic

1:06:34

education. Yeah. This

1:06:37

is the one thing we have.

1:06:39

With very basic education. My son

1:06:41

is in year five. He brings

1:06:43

homework home. He asks for my

1:06:46

help. My wife is an

1:06:48

actress. No one in the house

1:06:51

can help him. You

1:06:54

have to call me. This stuff

1:06:57

is above our pay grade.

1:07:00

We can't fucking do it. So what do

1:07:02

you think I'm gonna make that can do

1:07:04

for a living? Do

1:07:06

you think I'm gonna push maps on him? Go

1:07:10

for a count and see. No. See

1:07:14

if you would give a gun to the

1:07:16

first scientist of my family. No. No.

1:07:20

You're gonna make, I'm like, mate, learn

1:07:22

as many dick jokes as you can.

1:07:25

Yes. Me. You're

1:07:28

gonna call Jimmy Cameron and be like, hey, will you put some

1:07:30

dots on my kid's face and let him be a little blue

1:07:32

guy for an hour, please? Please. He's

1:07:35

like, no, there's nepotism in Hollywood. This

1:07:37

is what we do. This is the

1:07:40

family fucking business. Leave us alone. Run

1:07:44

on that. Next question, what is one thing

1:07:47

Sinatra said no man should ever do at night? You said,

1:07:49

hey, you know, famously. I

1:07:52

don't remember what else you said. Well, he used to go with bad

1:07:54

or big. Yeah. Badaboom.

1:07:57

It is. A vagina called goodabim.

1:08:00

When I read this, I was in college

1:08:02

and it just clicked on me. Thank you.

1:08:04

Thank you. I should have said vaginal. The

1:08:06

joke would have worked better. I

1:08:09

read this when I was in college. It clicked on me and

1:08:11

it drives me nuts. It's something I can never do either. But

1:08:13

the thing no man should ever do at night is wear

1:08:15

brown. Wear brown at night. What

1:08:18

the? Why would we not wear brown at night?

1:08:21

It just looks fucking horrible. And

1:08:23

apparently there was another quite a

1:08:25

follow-up. I've been in his

1:08:27

hotel room in the Beverly Hills Hotel. You

1:08:29

have? Yeah. And they've kept it the same

1:08:31

as when the Rat Pack was there and

1:08:34

everything. You can still smoke in there. Really? He

1:08:36

said his rule was you could either wear black or dark gray,

1:08:39

but after the sun goes down you should never wear brown. And

1:08:41

what's an odd to do to brown shoes if someone wore them

1:08:43

at night? He would put firecrackers in them and stuff it up.

1:08:47

He'd shit on them and go,

1:08:49

that's the same color. Yeah. Firecrackers,

1:08:52

why are the people's feet wearing them? Yeah,

1:08:55

for some reason he would go to wear their shoes. He

1:08:57

would put firecrackers in their shoes and set them off. Wasn't

1:09:02

he his last wife? That

1:09:05

was sick. Who do you admit that he was

1:09:07

a bit of a cunt? Yes,

1:09:09

a hundred pucks. He's blowing

1:09:11

up people's shoes. We haven't

1:09:13

gotten to the tights yet. Look,

1:09:16

I wear brown shoes at night. The only reason

1:09:18

I don't wear people's shoes is because I'm fucking

1:09:20

lazy, but I have the impulse. Yeah,

1:09:24

because the next question is what's the matter with that?

1:09:27

Okay, his last wife was at Harpo

1:09:29

or Groucho. Which Marx Brothers wife

1:09:31

was it? Oh, I don't know. Okay,

1:09:33

so what happens is at the end in Palm

1:09:35

Springs, right, he's living next door to

1:09:37

one of the Marx Brothers who also moved

1:09:40

out to Palm Springs, right? And I want

1:09:42

to say Harpo, who was the one that

1:09:44

was the hoarder. He

1:09:46

was the one that didn't talk, but he... And

1:09:50

Harpo had a wife and they used

1:09:52

to go for charades all the time

1:09:54

and then he just started banging Harpo's

1:09:57

wife and then she married him

1:09:59

and moved in. They

1:10:01

were married like the last 26 years ago. Yeah, it

1:10:03

was Zeppo. Zeppo! Oh, anyone can

1:10:05

fuck Zeppo, is right? I thought it was one

1:10:07

of the main ones. Harpo,

1:10:12

Drowcho, Zeppo. Fucking

1:10:15

Zeppo, if Zeppo remarried now, I'd take

1:10:18

her from him. Fucking

1:10:20

fraud, Zeppo. Speaking

1:10:23

of him being a dick, there was something he would

1:10:25

do to any man in a restaurant when he didn't

1:10:27

like their tie. You'd cut it first. Yeah, he

1:10:29

would cut it. In a restaurant, he'd walk

1:10:31

up and he'd go get scissors from the matriodia and cut

1:10:34

their tie. And then, um, that's

1:10:36

fault. But he also

1:10:38

used to leave like, when

1:10:41

he finished a meal, he used to leave $20

1:10:43

under the table, just like

1:10:45

that, so when the person was cleaning they'd think,

1:10:47

ahhh. How

1:10:49

much does that make your day when you find

1:10:51

money? It fucking makes better than someone giving it

1:10:54

to you, someone giving it to your spud. But

1:10:56

when you find it, it feels like you're cheating

1:10:58

the matrix, doesn't it? You're

1:11:00

just like, it's on the street, street money.

1:11:04

Street money. What was one thing Frank Sinatra said

1:11:06

he never did in his entire life? You said

1:11:09

went without a cigarette, but it was... He never

1:11:11

said he was sorry. Oh,

1:11:13

maybe in song. I'm

1:11:16

sorry, no. He never said he was sorry, and that

1:11:18

plays into the Australian thing. Yeah, and that's the last

1:11:20

question, is why... What happened

1:11:23

in Australia? I know he wasn't... He was

1:11:25

getting a lot of shit

1:11:28

about his connections to the mafia, and

1:11:30

it was... I guess it

1:11:32

just kept being asked by female reporters? I'll do

1:11:34

it for you. Excuse me, Mr. Sinatra. Yeah. My

1:11:39

name's Noleen,

1:11:42

and I'm from Woman's Day

1:11:44

magazine. Quick

1:11:47

question for you, Mr. Sinatra. Have

1:11:52

you, or have you ever

1:11:56

hung out with mobsters?

1:12:00

To which he said,

1:12:03

fuck you, all you women reporters

1:12:05

are whores for the media. He

1:12:07

called them all whores for the media. And then the

1:12:10

union got together and said,

1:12:12

we are striking, we don't

1:12:14

want you in Australia. And he said, you

1:12:16

can go fuck yourself. I'm not apologizing. And

1:12:18

they said, well then- Well, he was a

1:12:20

nasty man. They said, you can't do any

1:12:23

more shows until you apologize. I'm not apologizing.

1:12:25

I'm fucking leaving. And then the airport union

1:12:27

said they would not fuel his plane. So

1:12:29

now he's stuck in Australia. Oh,

1:12:32

no, there's been a bloke out at

1:12:34

the fucking airport. Like, fucking hell, like

1:12:36

my way is a good song and

1:12:38

all, but fuck me. If

1:12:41

he spoke to fucking Noel

1:12:43

Lee like that, yeah, yeah,

1:12:45

yeah. He's

1:12:48

got fucklies and none of me filling up the fucking

1:12:50

thing. Plus I'm drunk and I don't want to do

1:12:52

me a job today. Every day was going by and

1:12:54

he wasn't doing concerts and he also wouldn't fucking apologize.

1:12:57

So then the head of the union- This is the

1:12:59

beauty of living in an island. We

1:13:02

could really hold you down. Like,

1:13:07

you could just go, I'll drive to Canada,

1:13:09

mate, fuck off, right? Not

1:13:11

in Australia, you're like, fuck an island, mate. You'll

1:13:15

move. There

1:13:17

was a point in this podcast when-

1:13:20

I want to hear the end

1:13:22

of the story. That's when we said he gave

1:13:24

financial support to Martin Luther King. He was like,

1:13:26

oh, he seems like a good guy. And since

1:13:28

that point, it's really taking a no-stop. He

1:13:30

had the money to Martin Luther King to

1:13:32

cover up his infidelities. Firecrackers

1:13:35

and people's shoes. It was historical, Martin Luther

1:13:37

King did see it on his wife a

1:13:39

lot. I'm sorry, you weren't done with

1:13:41

the story? We were very flat, you're not allowed to mention

1:13:43

it. The head of

1:13:45

the union- He was in the movie. They even

1:13:47

met with him. They met for like six hours

1:13:49

and then Frank came out and spoke to the

1:13:51

media. They never said he was sorry, but he

1:13:53

said he did not mean to offend and just

1:13:55

sort of placated them a

1:13:57

little bit. So they let him do- He did- final

1:14:00

show because the whole tour was wasted while he

1:14:02

was stuck in Australia he did one show and

1:14:04

then he got on a plane and left said

1:14:07

he'd never fucking come back there so I come

1:14:09

back unless for a million dollars and he didn't

1:14:11

he was the first artist to ever be paid

1:14:13

a million dollars for one person we have a

1:14:15

good friend here that's an audience like Camilla Cleese

1:14:18

is here and really Camilla you

1:14:20

have a good Sinatra story I've heard is that

1:14:23

well you know his father

1:14:28

is John Cleese

1:14:31

but Camilla

1:14:33

is a person in her own right but

1:14:35

I think but I think that the story

1:14:37

may have something is your dad

1:14:39

met Sinatra? No,

1:14:44

no I do

1:14:46

not Camilla Cleese everybody I didn't

1:14:48

know I was gonna get called out I just was

1:14:53

going to be a story with your dad many I'm a Nepo baby

1:14:55

I love this all that. Look

1:15:06

it doesn't always work out. Yeah at least

1:15:08

I don't look like him right? George

1:15:11

Slaughter is a legendary comedy producer

1:15:13

he produced Laffin

1:15:17

and the American Comedy Awards a lot of

1:15:19

different stuff and he's one of my dad's

1:15:21

closest friends and he told us a

1:15:23

story at dinner one night that he was good

1:15:26

friends with Sinatra I guess and he

1:15:29

saw Sinatra dining in a restaurant he had

1:15:31

just arrived in and went up to Sinatra

1:15:33

and was like the people I'm dining

1:15:36

with absolutely love you they're your biggest fans

1:15:38

could you please come over and say hello

1:15:40

to the table and

1:15:42

so halfway through the meal Sinatra

1:15:44

came over to say hello to them and George was

1:15:46

like what the fuck why are you in

1:15:49

no no we were told that

1:15:51

story but it's Don Rickles version

1:15:54

that means multiple people do that

1:16:00

room so I missed that but that's he

1:16:02

was really close with Don Rickles so

1:16:04

he's probably sitting with Don Rickles which

1:16:06

would make perfect sense. So you're saying

1:16:09

that Don Rickles just fucking trolled him

1:16:11

for years. This time Frank I promise

1:16:16

I won't do it again of course of

1:16:19

course but this would mean so much to me if

1:16:21

you just came over this one last time. I opened

1:16:26

for Don's daughter not that

1:16:28

long ago. That

1:16:31

little baby's uniting. The

1:16:33

whole club is a part of right now. I once

1:16:35

was on Opie and

1:16:37

Anthony and Don Rickles was one

1:16:40

of the guests and there was

1:16:42

about five other comics you could probably hear this

1:16:44

recording somewhere. You want to stay up?

1:16:46

I'm gonna cheer up. Really

1:16:49

hold you down. Great job.

1:16:51

Great job. Here

1:16:56

we go. We gotta cheer. What was I talking about? The

1:16:58

edibles. Don Rickles. I

1:17:02

was on the radio with Don Rickles. I didn't say fucking shit the whole

1:17:04

time. It

1:17:08

was like me, Bill Burr. I

1:17:11

think Louis CK. It was at

1:17:13

Montreal and so like the biggest

1:17:15

names in comedy. I was the lowest of

1:17:17

the low and the biggest names in comedy

1:17:19

were there and Don Rickles came on and

1:17:21

we all just sat there. She listened to

1:17:23

the recording and not one of us speak

1:17:25

the whole fucking time. There's

1:17:31

the one joke I remember from the whole thing

1:17:33

he goes, I like doing late night shows. I

1:17:35

do late night shows but I don't

1:17:38

do Jimmy Fallon because I don't play ping pong.

1:17:41

What a perfect concise takedown. Alright this is

1:17:43

a part of our show called Dinner

1:17:51

Party Facts. You might have already done them all but

1:17:53

our expert gives us one fact that's very interesting about

1:17:55

the subject that the audience can use to impress people.

1:17:57

You got one more? Yes, I got one more. After

1:18:01

Bobby Kennedy decided he's gonna go after the mob,

1:18:03

they start losing their shit. And a lot of

1:18:05

them, not only are mad at Jack for letting

1:18:07

his brother do this after he made promises, they're

1:18:09

mad at Frank. So there's a story reported, I

1:18:11

don't know if this is called through tapes or

1:18:14

whatever, but it's been documented, they even put it

1:18:16

in the Rat Pack movie starring Ray Liotta and...

1:18:18

I have a video of who else is in it, Don

1:18:21

Cheadle's in it, he plays David Anderson, so fucking

1:18:23

good. Anyway, they have

1:18:25

a meeting and they decide, do we

1:18:27

want to kill Frank Sinatra for getting

1:18:29

us to elect JFK and now they're

1:18:32

coming after us. And Sam Giancana, the

1:18:34

head of the Chicago mob, said,

1:18:37

no, I love

1:18:39

the way he sings Chicago. And

1:18:41

so his ability to keep hearing that song

1:18:43

is what kept Frank alive. And Frank, I'll

1:18:45

follow this up with two quick, one thing.

1:18:47

Frank, he was asked once, why do you

1:18:50

still, you know, in the 70s and 60s,

1:18:52

late 60s, like why are you still affiliated

1:18:54

with all of these mobsters? Why do you

1:18:56

keep these relationships? And he said that in

1:18:58

the 40s and into the early 50s, he

1:19:00

lost everything. He couldn't get a

1:19:02

fucking job in Hollywood to save his life. And he

1:19:04

said the only people who gave him work to pay

1:19:06

for his kids and take care of his life were

1:19:09

the mobsters who paid him to go into their

1:19:11

lounges and sing. And he said, someday, all you

1:19:13

fucks are going to stop calling me again and

1:19:15

those are the only people that are going to

1:19:17

give me a job. And so I'm not betraying

1:19:19

the only thing I know will keep me happy

1:19:21

and keep a roof over my head, so he

1:19:24

never let them go. And Sam Giancana died. I

1:19:26

know this on a secondhand thing because the kid

1:19:28

was there. Sam Giancana died. They rent out the

1:19:31

funeral in Chicago, Illinois. They say, we want this

1:19:33

funeral for three days. And he goes,

1:19:35

how much will that cost? And the guy goes, it probably cost,

1:19:38

I don't know, maybe, in this particular thing he

1:19:40

said it was like $12,000. He goes,

1:19:42

give me a second. Guy walks onto a car, comes back in

1:19:44

with a bag full of cash, he gives

1:19:46

him $30,000 and said, we want this funeral for the

1:19:48

next day. And it was for Sam Giancana. On

1:19:51

the second hand, a car pulls

1:19:53

into the back. They open up a garage. The

1:19:55

garage comes in. Frank Sinatra walks in and pays

1:19:57

his respects to Sam Giancana and leaves in a

1:19:59

different way. didn't want anybody to know that he was

1:20:01

there. So that's the little

1:20:03

inside tidbit. Last story to my friends like

1:20:05

me in the clitmas. You'll

1:20:10

always have a gig with them. It's true,

1:20:13

it's true. When no one

1:20:15

else in Hollywood wanted me and I was sitting there

1:20:17

eating adrenal glands with them. They

1:20:22

kept me up, they kept me up they did. We

1:20:28

were doing the Jim Jeffries show because it was

1:20:30

a moment in

1:20:32

history that was going on.

1:20:35

People were storming capital and all that stuff. I'll tell

1:20:37

you what it was, it was an awkward time to

1:20:39

be on the telly. People

1:20:42

were like, what's your opinion on this? I'd rather

1:20:44

not say. I'll

1:20:47

get a lot of hate mail as soon as I give

1:20:49

any opinion. So

1:20:52

I used to get people right to me all

1:20:54

the time that really meant this. How

1:20:57

much is Hillary Clinton paying you?

1:21:00

And there was forums on

1:21:04

Reddit about how

1:21:06

much Hillary Clinton paid me for

1:21:09

her agenda or something like that. So

1:21:11

I wanted to set the record straight. It

1:21:13

was fucking shit loads. I

1:21:17

was making so much fucking

1:21:20

coin. Every day

1:21:22

I would just go to

1:21:24

my house and say, hey

1:21:26

Hillary, where's the fucking bag?

1:21:28

Fuck it. I'm

1:21:31

going to say cunt

1:21:33

all day and then

1:21:35

spread your agenda. Who

1:21:40

better could you pay? Daniel,

1:21:43

Ben, Kirk, thank you for being here. Go

1:21:46

check out

1:21:49

his new special Rose Gold. You

1:21:51

1:21:53

Instagram, at danielbenkirk. Thank you for

1:21:56

being here. Thank you for having

1:21:58

me. You're the joy. Camilla, thanks

1:22:00

for coming on stage. Jack,

1:22:05

whatever. Jack,

1:22:08

Jack, plug your band, plug your band. The

1:22:10

two hickies. Follow the two hickies. Hailey's over

1:22:13

there the other half. Oh wait, say, oh,

1:22:15

Hailey, we love Hailey. There we go. The

1:22:17

two hickies are in town. That's a

1:22:19

signed artist. You

1:22:22

said signed music. Oh,

1:22:24

I thought you meant like a death

1:22:27

person who tried to contribute to music.

1:22:31

Like a signed artist. If

1:22:36

you've visually seen that, I was hilarious just

1:22:38

then. But on a podcast, on

1:22:41

a podcast, I'll be honest, I'm that was quite weak.

1:22:46

So ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much. That

1:22:48

will be the end of the thing. It's

1:22:53

always, you know, look, I've

1:22:56

never seen a live podcast. I hope you

1:22:59

enjoyed it. We had a fun topic. If

1:23:02

you had fun, go tell all your friends.

1:23:04

And if you didn't have

1:23:06

fun, you keep that to yourself. Don't

1:23:09

you? You keep that very deep inside and you

1:23:11

just don't fucking be a grass. Don't

1:23:14

tell the others out there. Positivity.

1:23:17

What about if you're ever at a party?

1:23:20

Well, if you're ever at a party and

1:23:23

someone walks up to you and goes

1:23:25

Frank Sinatra, didn't

1:23:29

hang out with a mob, go,

1:23:31

well, I don't know about that. Walk away. Good

1:23:34

night, Australia. Thank you, guys.
