0:57
his feet will point of like
0:59
10 to 2. And years later
1:03
he got
1:07
shot in
1:10
the leg
1:14
and
1:16
they
1:18
called
1:20
him
1:22
20 after.
1:26
And I love actors who
1:29
realize maybe the phone isn't
1:31
ringing early on. And so
1:33
they take their future into
1:36
their own hands and they
1:38
create their own destiny.
1:40
And no one, no one has
1:43
ever done it like Chaz
1:45
did when he created
1:47
Bronx Tale. So welcome
1:49
my buddy Chaz. Chaz,
1:54
I was gonna wear my Dodgers
1:56
world champion hat today. But I
1:58
didn't want to start us off
2:01
on an adversarial foot. Right. No,
2:03
that's all right. I don't. You
2:05
know, listen, you guys were a
2:07
better team. What can I say?
2:09
You know, you had a great
2:11
team, man. Great team. I saw
2:13
you there at the new Yankee
2:15
Stadium. I have so many thoughts.
2:17
Let's talk Yankees for a while.
2:19
Sure. Yeah. Before we get into
2:21
all the other good stuff. Okay,
2:24
first of all, I'd never been
2:26
to the new, it's not new
2:28
anymore. Yeah. But I hadn't been
2:30
to the new, New, New, New,
2:32
New, You're not going to like
2:34
hearing this. I don't love it.
2:36
Yeah. Well, the old, yeah, I
2:38
mean, I've heard that before, but
2:40
I love it. I actually love
2:42
it, but people who haven't been
2:44
there don't like it. But, you
2:46
know, believe me, I went to
2:48
the old Yankee Stadium. Yeah, same.
2:51
And that was okay. You know,
2:53
so I love the way it
2:55
is. I love the going, you
2:57
know, you know, or see all
2:59
the pictures and you know, I
3:01
just love it. That is amazing.
3:03
Yeah, I mean, it's amazing. The
3:05
way they've done the history, the
3:07
pictures, the memorabilia, that they definitely
3:09
crushed that horse for sure. Whatever,
3:11
maybe it's not that cup of
3:13
tea, but whatever, I don't know.
3:15
I don't see that. You're going
3:17
to be even more angry when
3:20
I tell you this. Do you
3:22
know where else I had never
3:24
been and I walked in and
3:26
loved it? What's that? Is the
3:28
Metz Stadium. Yeah. I thought that
3:30
that now because she was a
3:32
shithole she was one of the
3:34
great Awful places where planet Earth
3:36
yeah, and and this new What
3:38
do they call it? What do
3:40
they call it? What city field
3:42
any field? Yeah Amazing amazing. Yeah,
3:44
I was there. I mean, I'm
3:47
I mean, I'm a fairly Yankee
3:49
stadium, but it's nice And I
3:51
know this is the one too,
3:53
the hits just keep on coming.
3:55
Do you think Juan Soto is
3:57
going to enjoy city field more
3:59
than he did the Yankees? No,
4:01
no, I think he's going to
4:03
miss that short porch. I think
4:05
he's going to miss a judge
4:07
being behind him. I say right
4:09
now, and I'll say it to
4:11
everybody, Ron Soto does not have
4:14
the ear that he had with
4:16
the Yankees, his first year with
4:18
the Mets. That's my opinion, you
4:20
know. Oh, I would take that
4:22
bet. I agree with you. One,
4:24
one hundred percent, one hundred percent.
4:26
Were you in, did you go
4:28
to every game of the World
4:30
Series? Yes. Yes. What were you
4:32
feeling during the now infamous fifth
4:34
inning? It's like it's a game
4:36
of inches and I go, if
4:38
judge catches the ball, if he
4:41
goes to first, if, you know,
4:43
it's one of those in it
4:45
and you just say, how could
4:47
this happen? And, you know, it's
4:49
baseball. As they say, it's baseball,
4:51
you just got to let it
4:53
go, man. If you wanted me
4:55
to be a diehard Yankee fan,
4:57
I thought we should have went
4:59
back to Dodger Stadium up three
5:01
to. Well 100% you should have.
5:03
Did you in that famous for
5:05
those of you who don't fall
5:07
baseball as closely as we do
5:10
it's it's it's a fifth inning
5:12
collapse that's that yeah, which is
5:14
historic I feel it's it's a
5:16
little bit like seasickness on a
5:18
crowded boat. Yeah. Once somebody starts
5:20
throwing up it can easily spread
5:22
and when judge made that error
5:24
that literally he makes that catch
5:26
five. 500 times in a row,
5:28
you can make that match. And
5:30
you could just kind of feel
5:32
it in the stadium. You could
5:34
feel it. Right, you can feel
5:37
it. You cannot, the number one
5:39
thing, and especially in baseball, but
5:41
the number one thing in the
5:43
World Series in a playoff game,
5:45
you cannot give a great team
5:47
four or five outs. You cannot.
5:49
You cannot survive that. You can
5:51
never survive that. And that's what
5:53
we did. We gave them four
5:55
or five outs and you can't
5:57
do that. Not to a great
5:59
team like that. No, can't do
6:01
it. No. I don't understand. I'm
6:04
a huge Garrett Cole fan. I
6:06
just don't understand that. That play
6:08
at first was really the one.
6:10
That was, which was the, that
6:12
was. He just one blank, you
6:14
know, it went blank. I don't
6:16
know, it's just, look, who knows,
6:18
Rob, you know, I don't know
6:20
how that happens, but just wasn't
6:22
all year. Well, get ready, pal,
6:24
because. I would love to see
6:26
a rematch, but these are new
6:28
Dodgers. Holy smokes. Yeah, I mean
6:31
you guys got, it's a joke.
6:33
Exciting. You guys, you have so
6:35
much depth that it's scary. I
6:37
don't know. It's like the old
6:39
days of Steinbrenner. I mean, George
6:41
Steinbrenner would have done exactly the
6:43
same thing. Probably, but you know
6:45
what, it still doesn't mean, you
6:47
can have the best team to
6:49
spend the most money, you know,
6:51
if you've you've done it's a
6:53
few years, you know, you know,
6:55
You know baseball is a funny
6:57
thing. It's a funny thing man.
7:00
So you mentioned that maybe Garrett
7:02
Cole blacked out and that anybody
7:04
can do it. Have you ever
7:06
been on stage and just gone
7:08
blank? Because I have. Oh yeah.
7:10
You just go blank. On like
7:12
a play? A movie? Yeah, like
7:14
a play. If you were doing
7:16
your Bronx tale, one man show
7:18
or or any time you're on
7:20
stage, you ever just have a
7:22
moment where all of that. Yeah,
7:24
then you just take a breath
7:27
and you come back. But I've
7:29
done that on stage and on
7:31
Broadway and yeah, that's how. It's
7:33
like you're really, it's really maybe
7:35
a second and a half until
7:37
you get it back, but it
7:39
seems like an hour. Eternity. Doesn't
7:41
it seem like an hour? Oh
7:43
my God, scariest thing in the
7:45
world. It really is. But the
7:47
main thing is just take a
7:49
breath. See, once you start panicking,
7:51
then forget it. Then you're done.
7:54
But if you just relax for
7:56
a second and take a breath,
7:58
have I done it with the
8:00
One Man Show? I cut a
8:02
few times. But I know it's
8:04
so well. I just take a
8:06
breath and then I follow then
8:08
I go back. That's all. Okay.
8:10
All right How about how about
8:12
this is devil's advocate some I
8:14
think Knowing it's so well Can
8:16
kind of set you up for
8:18
it because you know what this
8:21
is like it gets in your
8:23
there's there's levels of knowing it
8:25
it gets what that shows in
8:27
your DNA. Yeah, you've been you've
8:29
been doing an iteration of a
8:31
Bronx tale since 19 what 1988?
8:33
And you can think about other
8:35
things while you're doing it. Yes,
8:37
and you have to be careful.
8:39
That's what I'm saying, right? The
8:41
only thing that really messed me
8:43
up once was when I wasn't
8:45
doing the show that I went
8:47
on Broadway to do the musical.
8:50
And when I was doing the
8:52
musical, I just played Sunny, of
8:54
course. I sang Sunny songs and
8:56
I played Sunny. That's it. As
8:58
soon as I finished a musical,
9:00
I went back on the tour
9:02
and did the one-man show. And
9:04
the first night that I went
9:06
back, Rob, I did Sonny's line
9:08
and I waited for somebody to
9:10
talk back to me. But not
9:12
realizing is that I have to
9:14
talk back, I play Lorenzo. And
9:17
I just stood there and I
9:19
went, oh, and then I said,
9:21
holy shit, scare the damn hell
9:23
out of me, you know? Just
9:25
scare the hell out of me,
9:27
but I was okay with it.
9:29
It's kind of fun escaping from
9:31
that. Like I remember the great
9:33
escapes. I went blank on Saturday
9:35
Night Live. Right. At the end
9:37
of a sketch where I had
9:39
the line that set up the
9:41
joke that ended the sketch and
9:44
I went blank and now there's
9:46
no joke and there's no end
9:48
to this sketch. Oh God. Yeah.
9:50
On Saturday Night Live. Right. I
9:52
ended up. Adlebing, and we got
9:54
out of it was Phil Hartman.
9:56
I looked over at Phil. His
9:58
eyes were like... authors. But you
10:00
always remember those and you kind
10:02
of come away with those moments
10:04
as an actor going, this is
10:06
kind of why we do it.
10:08
It's the tightrope and you fall
10:11
off the type rope and you
10:13
grab it with one hand. You
10:15
don't fall to your death and
10:17
that's the fun of it. Yeah,
10:19
I mean that just goes to
10:21
show you that, look, you've done
10:23
movies what would... with a lot
10:25
of great big stars. Everybody goes
10:27
up on that line when you're
10:29
doing everybody. Nobody just says it
10:31
straight out. Yeah, we all go
10:33
up on our lines. The idea
10:35
is you just, you know, once
10:37
you know that, you're fine. You
10:40
know, once you know that, you
10:42
know, look, I know I'm good.
10:44
I'm not gonna be bad. If
10:46
I can't get my lines, I'll
10:48
get them and then we'll be
10:50
fine. That's all. I don't know.
10:52
Yeah. I mean, he saw the,
10:54
he saw Brunk's tail off Broadway,
10:56
right? When, let me ask you,
10:58
when you say off, when you
11:00
did Brunk's tail famously in the
11:02
80s and you blew up on
11:04
the scene, how big was that
11:07
theater? Like how off Broadway was
11:09
it? From not mistaken, it was
11:11
99 seats. And you play 18
11:13
characters. Right, by my counting. Yes,
11:15
no, that's 18, yes. And it
11:17
just, from day one, from day...
11:19
One, I've gotten standing ovations every
11:21
time I did it. It's a,
11:23
it's a very, it's a feat.
11:25
No one's ever done it before.
11:27
You know what I'm, I don't
11:29
brag about anything I do, but
11:31
except for this. It's one of
11:34
those things. I just had this
11:36
idea that an actor could do
11:38
the script that he wrote, do
11:40
the whole movie on stage by
11:42
himself. And I did it. And
11:44
I worked on it for a
11:46
year, and for some reason if
11:48
you look at it. I don't
11:50
know if you ever saw the
11:52
one man show, but to see
11:54
it in person, oh now you
11:56
can see it. Actually, I just
11:58
filmed it with five cameras and
12:00
you can see it on Amazon
12:03
and Google. and Apple and it
12:05
just came out so you can
12:07
see it live or you can
12:09
see it there. It's two different
12:11
experiences but people have go see
12:13
it again and again and again
12:15
Rob constantly all the time. 30,
12:17
40, 50 times. It's amazing. Wow.

12:25
come back, come back. San

15:22
it you did you write it
15:24
thinking all things being equal this
15:26
will be a movie and then
15:28
it wasn't and then you're like
15:30
okay what can I do with
15:33
it? fuck it. I'll make it
15:35
as a woman. I wrote it
15:37
knowing I wrote it. I wrote
15:39
it knowing I wrote it. as
15:41
I was writing it I was
15:44
playing all the parts I said
15:46
wow this could be a great
15:48
movie but I see I really
15:50
wrote it to get an agent
15:52
You know, I didn't have an
15:55
agent at the time, and I
15:57
wanted to really impress people. And
15:59
I said, well, you know, I
16:01
did Hill Street Blues and Manlock
16:03
and Dallas, but I said, look,
16:06
I want to shoot people my
16:08
range, because I started in comedy
16:10
and, well, I was with a
16:12
comedy group, and I said, I
16:14
want to do my whole range.
16:16
And I just wrote something for
16:19
myself, and it just exploded, man.
16:21
I mean, think about it. I'm
16:23
the only guy in history ever
16:25
to write the one man's show
16:27
started, write the major movie started,
16:30
write the musical started, then write
16:32
a movie of the one man's
16:34
show and film it started. So
16:36
I was going to ask you,
16:38
does it feel like it was
16:41
like a shot from God, a
16:43
shot from the creative heavens? Yeah,
16:45
absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. It clearly was.
16:47
No question. I still feel it.
16:49
When I go on stage. When
16:52
I walk on stage, I feel
16:54
like there's a lightning lightning is
16:56
like this light that's coming down
16:58
hitting me on top of the
17:00
head. And when I get off
17:02
stage, I don't even remember what
17:05
I'm doing. Because I literally morph
17:07
into the father, the son, the
17:09
little nine-year-old boy. If you see
17:11
it, you'll be... I'm dying to
17:13
see this new version, the taped
17:16
version. Did you I'm just I'm
17:18
curious because I? I always find
17:20
that it's very difficult to capture
17:22
with cameras this the Experience of
17:24
the stage. Yes, because because it's
17:27
it's a proscenium no matter how
17:29
you? It's still a proscenium now
17:31
that you're dealing with. Yes, I
17:33
know what you're saying right when
17:35
you see this it's not well
17:38
I was gonna ask you how
17:40
did you what did you do
17:42
to accommodate? to shoot it like
17:44
a movie. To shoot it exactly.
17:46
I said, this is not a
17:48
comedy special. This is not a
17:51
guy on stage just talking. That's
17:53
why I used five cameras and
17:55
that's why I. did reshoots and
17:57
that's why I did two days
17:59
I did a live performance and
18:02
then I did two days of
18:04
no no audience because I wanted
18:06
to shoot it like a movie
18:08
back and forth you know headshot
18:10
back and forth you know wide
18:13
shot then cut in so it's
18:15
not it's a movie and people
18:17
look at it and go I
18:19
don't understand this how does this
18:21
You know, it's like some I
18:24
don't read reviews but from what
18:26
some people told me the producers
18:28
said to call it like a
18:30
how does it's a magic trick
18:32
I am definitely and I can
18:34
I can get it on Amazon
18:37
Amazon Google and Apple Google When
18:39
you were first writing it it's
18:41
you in the neighborhood and the
18:43
neighborhood has got you know gangsters
18:45
in it and everything else were
18:48
you ever afraid to Dramatize that
18:50
like did how did how did
18:52
how did the guys how did
18:54
the how did the boys feel
18:56
about it? Well the only thing
18:59
that the only pushback I got
19:01
from the boys was when I
19:03
first did it and when I
19:05
did it at When I was
19:07
about to come to New York
19:10
and I was doing it in
19:12
LA and it was really a
19:14
big hit in LA out of
19:16
small theater like 99 same as
19:18
the when I was going to
19:20
I got a call from them,
19:23
from one of them, you know.
19:25
And he said to me, we
19:27
heard what you're doing in LA.
19:29
We hear it's been very successful.
19:31
And we're happy for you. You're
19:34
a kid from the neighborhood. All
19:36
we ask is that you changed
19:38
the names. And I said, absolutely
19:40
no problem. So I did. That
19:42
was it. Did you ever, so
19:45
initially, when you did it? Yes.
19:47
You had the actual names and
19:49
then you get the call and
19:51
change them. Had a lot of
19:53
the real... names in it, yes.
19:56
Amazing. So I had to take,
19:58
I changed all the names. Except
20:00
for Eddie mush, because that was
20:02
Eddie mush. You know, and he
20:04
said, no, no, I want my
20:06
name in there. So. Why are
20:09
those names so great? Eddie mush.
20:11
Why are they so, they're just,
20:13
nobody does names. Like, yeah, just
20:15
honest, you know, because everything he
20:17
touched turned to mush. You know,
20:20
I mean, you know, he was
20:22
such a loser. I mean he
20:24
lost every bet he ever made
20:26
this guy. The joke in the
20:28
show is he would go to
20:31
the racetrack and the teller will
20:33
give him his tickets already ripped
20:35
up. You know, I mean, it's
20:37
like, you know, it just, in
20:39
fact, nobody, you know, bookmaker stopped
20:42
taking his bet because everybody would
20:44
wait to see who he bet
20:46
and then they go the other
20:48
way. And everybody was winning. So
20:50
the bookmaker said, Eddie mush, I
20:52
can't take your bets anymore. And
20:55
that was, you know, imagine it?
20:57
He truly was the mush, the
20:59
original mush. The original mush that
21:01
people have used that name now
21:03
in the vernacular of us. Oh,
21:06
they do for sure. I thought
21:08
it was in the, I thought
21:10
that, so he, there was no,
21:12
like, oh, he's the mush, like
21:14
I know that's a part of
21:17
betting. Everybody knows, the mush is
21:19
the idiot. Yeah. No, yeah, they
21:21
know, that's related to him. Wow.
21:23
I been mush. That's from him.
21:25
That's from him. That's from him.
21:28
You know, I mean, oh my
21:30
God, they go, oh, he's in
21:32
Eddie mush. Eddie mush when he
21:34
died, Rob. And it is hard
21:36
to say this because people go,
21:39
Charles, you're exaggerating. I'm saying when
21:41
he died, we all were there.
21:43
He died of colon cancer years
21:45
later after the movie. We were
21:47
all over there when they brought
21:49
the coffin out with everybody holding
21:52
it. The hearse had a flat
21:54
tire. You have to
21:56
be kidding. No, I had a
21:58
flat tire, so they couldn't. So
22:01
thank God the funeral Paula was
22:03
very close by, so they just
22:05
sent for another hearse, and everybody
22:07
was looking up at the sky
22:10
going, hey, we know, yeah, they
22:12
already. And so they actually had
22:14
to change their name, and on
22:16
his tombstone, St. Raymond Cemetery, it
22:19
says, Eddie Mush Montanero, it says
22:21
the year he died, and it
22:23
says the original Bronx tale. Yeah.
22:26
Oh, that's amazing. Yeah. So, and
22:28
I was sweet. What do you
22:30
have an all-time favorite nickname from
22:32
the neighborhood? I mean, I'm sure
22:35
you put them all in the
22:37
show, but do you have one
22:39
that's your all-time favorite nickname? The
22:41
all-time favorite was Jimmy Ten to
22:44
Two. And I couldn't put him
22:46
in because Bob thought it was
22:48
just too much. Jimmy Ten to
22:51
Two was my... He was like
22:53
muscle bound, you know, and years
22:55
later he got shot in the
22:57
leg and they called him 20
23:00
after. You know, these are characters,
23:02
man. They really are. What are
23:04
you attributed to? Why, it's as
23:06
part of that culture as anything
23:09
else, that kind of... Well, because
23:11
everybody had similar names, Jimmy, Frankie,
23:13
Tony, Vito. So if veto is
23:15
the veto veto veto veto eggs,
23:18
he was an egg salesman Right
23:20
Sally fish, Sally fish, he was
23:22
that you know, and that came
23:25
from that and then it came

27:46
Brunk's Tale aside, what is your
27:48
favorite movie about the world? Because
27:50
I will tell you, my two
27:53
favorite movies of all time, both
27:55
are mob movies. Yeah. And I'm
27:57
sure you know what they are,
27:59
but what are your favorites? My
28:01
favorite movie of all time is
28:03
on the waterfront with Marlon Brando.
28:05
Oh, wow. Yeah. Just saw a
28:07
clip of that today. Just saw
28:10
a clip today. Yeah, one of
28:12
the greatest movies of all time.
28:14
In fact, I know it's Montes-Gusase's
28:16
favorite movie and a lot of
28:18
people's favorite movie. That's perfectly shot,
28:20
directed, acted, and, you know, great
28:22
movie. I need to see it.
28:24
I need to see it again.
28:26
Mine is good, fellows. Oh, great
28:29
movie. Great movie. It's my favorite
28:31
movie of all time. And... And
28:33
Godfathers one and two. So it's
28:35
like my three favorite movies, I
28:37
feel bad, because my three favorite
28:39
movies are in that, that one
28:41
genre. But it is what it
28:43
is. Those are the three best.
28:46
I'm sorry. To me, yeah, Godfather
28:48
one and two is, I like
28:50
Shurshank Redemption to me, to me,
28:52
that's up there too. I mean,
28:54
great movies, man. You pick great
28:56
movies. You pick great movies. You
28:58
pick great movies. You're in another
29:00
great one, usual suspects. That's one
29:02
of my favorite usual suspects and
29:05
bullets over Broadway. Oh man. What's
29:07
it like to work with Woody?
29:09
What kind of direction does he
29:11
give? He doesn't give direction. In
29:13
fact, if he talks to you
29:15
too much, that's not a good
29:17
sign. You hope that he doesn't
29:19
speak to you, because if he
29:22
starts speaking to you a lot,
29:24
you could be replaced by the
29:26
next day. You're going to be
29:28
replaced soon. So, uh, I'm getting
29:30
whacked by Woody. Yeah, I learned
29:32
that right away, that you really
29:34
don't talk to him. You really
29:36
don't talk to him, because if
29:38
you do, if you do, that's
29:41
not a good sign. So, he
29:43
picks people that are, like, like,
29:45
are the part, you know, you
29:47
know, they... He just knew I
29:49
was a writer and I knew
29:51
that world and he just thought
29:53
I would be perfect for it
29:55
and he was right, you know.
29:58
That's a great one. Yeah, but
30:00
that's... And I got to recognizing
30:02
his saints, that's another one of
30:04
my favorite. You know, with Ditto,
30:06
with Sean Pan, Meg Ryan and
30:08
Kevin Spacey. To me, that would,
30:10
no, I'm sorry, that was Hurley
30:12
Burley. And then a guy to
30:14
recognizing his saints, that was with...
30:17
Robert Downey Jr. and Diane Wies,
30:19
so yeah, so I just I've
30:21
been very fortunate I've been a
30:23
lot of great movies, you know
30:25
What did you do Hurley Burley
30:27
on stage? No, I didn't do
30:29
it on stage. I did the
30:31
movie did the movie Yeah, I
30:34
was too young to do it
30:36
on stage, but I ended up
30:38
doing the movie which was great
30:40
It's funny. I wonder if it's
30:42
still this way with actors because
30:44
when I was coming up there
30:46
I was in LA actor, I
30:48
lived in LA, I would go
30:50
to New York, but I wasn't
30:53
in New York, I wasn't in
30:55
New York actor, I wasn't, I'd
30:57
never had the opportunity to do
30:59
theater, but you're always aware of
31:01
what was going on, and there
31:03
were just these legendary, legendary productions
31:05
that you would hear about as
31:07
an actor on the West Coast,
31:10
and Hurley Burley was certainly one
31:12
of them. Yeah, yeah, I started
31:14
in doing theater, and that's all
31:16
I did for years, and I
31:18
loved it. And to me it's
31:20
a great training ground and I
31:22
still go back obviously I'm still
31:24
doing the show in theater. I
31:26
do it in all these big
31:29
theaters all over the United States
31:31
and I love doing it. I
31:33
love being on stage. How many
31:35
dates a year do you do
31:37
on the tour? and how often
31:39
do you do tour it? I
31:41
would say 3540. Wow, amazing. Yeah,
31:43
and I do that, and I
31:46
do that. Well, when I'm doing
31:48
the TV series, Godfather Home, then
31:50
I space out weeks there and
31:52
I don't do the show, which
31:54
is nice, you know. Is it
31:56
the kind of thing where you
31:58
get your Godfather of Harlem schedule
32:00
and you go, oh, I'm light
32:02
in this episode? Yeah. Let's see
32:05
if I can, can I, can
32:07
I, can I do a show
32:09
up in Seattle? Well, I tell
32:11
them in advance that these days
32:13
are rough in me and they,
32:15
they work it out, they work
32:17
it out somehow, so it's great.
32:19
You know, I'm not carrying the
32:21
series, as far as Whittaker is,
32:24
so, but they work it out
32:26
with me. It's amazing, and you're
32:28
still in New York. Yeah, you're
32:30
in, you're, you're upstate New York,
32:32
New York, aren't you? Yeah, I
32:34
live in Westchester, Westchester County, Westchester

32:51
the place to live That's what
32:53
I say if I ever move

33:00
do that I'm coming to I'm
33:02
coming to like the Hudson River
33:04
Valley somewhere up like I mean,
33:06
yeah, I mean I heard this
33:08
you got to tell me if
33:10
this is true. This has been
33:12
a legendary story Okay Rob lo
33:14
bought a house in Santa Barbara
33:17
many years ago and his wife
33:19
is such a great decorator that
33:21
she decorated this house that they
33:23
bought for not a lot of
33:25
money which whatever I don't know
33:27
and now it's worth 50 million
33:29
dollars I go I got I
33:31
got I got to tell you
33:33
that's a hell of an investment

a property that was one of

the original farms in Montecito, and

it was settled in 1877. This
34:50
is why I bought it when
