Speaker C:No, the Grown Up Italian is the show that I'm with, But my podcast is called the Mario Bosco show.
Speaker A:And how'd you get the title for that?
Speaker C:New York Nico came up with that.
Speaker C:New York Nico was like, I want to do a show that has to do with a mix array of kind of comics, entertainment, music, who's not also just Italian.
Speaker C:I want to keep it like that, you know?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Now.
Speaker A:Now you say his name is New York What?
Speaker C:New York Nico.
Speaker A:New York New York Nico.
Speaker A:And how did he get that name?
Speaker C:Because he was all over New York.
Speaker C:He was just doing different kinds of videos.
Speaker C:He started out as a commercial and music video director at a school and then went to LA thing.
Speaker C:And he was gonna make him big, like all of us thought.
Speaker C:And he ended up not making a big and came back to New York, came back home and started his documentary in New York City, Coney island, at January 1st for the.
Speaker C:What do they call that?
Speaker C:The Polar Fl.
Speaker C:Just documenting all of New York City.
Speaker C:And he discovered me.
Speaker A:Mario, did you know that you were doing this podcast this evening?
Speaker A:So did you purposely find the most noisiest place in New York City to actually go and do it?
Speaker C:I'm sorry, I'm in the cafe.
Speaker C:I left my house earlier, go make some videos at my friend's restaurant.
Speaker C:And I was like, oh, let me go to the cafe.
Speaker C:Nobody's ever here.
Speaker C:But unfortunately that tonight there was a person in the room.
Speaker C:Should I try to go outside?
Speaker A:Well, it's a little quieter place.
Speaker A:I mean, it is.
Speaker A:It's slightly distracting that you have some guy speaking in some type of Arabic or Sanskrit.
Speaker C:Let me see.
Speaker C:Is this better?
Speaker A:No, it's actually worse.
Speaker C:It is.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:It's actually works.
Speaker A:Now we.
Speaker A:Now we can't see.
Speaker A:You see, the thing is, you got to get away from where the guy is talking.
Speaker A:What is this?
Speaker A:Just one guy in this whole place?
Speaker C:Yeah, there's people in it.
Speaker C:It's a cafe.
Speaker A:And why would you decide?
Speaker C:It's not that I decided, Jeff.
Speaker C:It's just I left my house and then there was no place else to go.
Speaker C:I wasn't going in the city, and I walked in here thinking it would be quiet.
Speaker C:And unfortunately, there's somebody here having coffee and talking.
Speaker B:Where are you.
Speaker B:Where are you from?
Speaker B:Are you from Brooklyn?
Speaker C:Brooklyn, New York.
Speaker A:What part?
Speaker C:Midwood.
Speaker B:Oh, Midwood.
Speaker B:Okay, so I'm a little familiar with, like, the.
Speaker B:The guinea areas of, like, Sheepshead Bay and.
Speaker B:And things.
Speaker B:And that.
Speaker B:Of that kind of area.
Speaker B:A little Bay Ridge.
Speaker B:Well, not anymore.
Speaker B:Not anymore.
Speaker C:But the time area would be 18th Avenue, 20th Avenue, Bay Parkway.
Speaker C:But unfortunately, it's pretty much all mixed now.
Speaker A:Mary, I'm gonna.
Speaker A:We're gonna try and get through this.
Speaker A:Did you start out to become a comic or an actor first?
Speaker C:I started being an actor first.
Speaker C:And while being an actor, I, you know, roll started diminishing for me because, you know, I was born with a rare disease called pan hypopituitarianism.
Speaker A:Can you tell us a little bit before you go on, then?
Speaker A:Tell us a little bit what that is in case people aren't sure what that is and what.
Speaker A:And what it affects.
Speaker C:We're all born with a pituitary gland, pretty much.
Speaker C:It's up here.
Speaker C:I thought it was here, but it's up here somewhere.
Speaker A:And I have more brain here is the thyroid.
Speaker C:Yeah, thyroid.
Speaker C:My thyroid is gone.
Speaker C:It's burned.
Speaker C:So the pituitary, Glenn, is what makes you go through puberty.
Speaker C:It makes you get older.
Speaker C:It makes you live life.
Speaker C:And mind got burned at birth.
Speaker A:Okay, so what was some of the challenges that you had with this?
Speaker C:A lot of hospitalizations, a lot of doctor visits, a lot of medical appointments, a lot of convulsions.
Speaker C:I used to get a convulsion, many convulsions.
Speaker C:And then I'd have to be rushed to the hospital, put a lining, do blood work, and try to bring me back to realization of life, you know?
Speaker C:And thank God that I haven't had one in about 15 years.
Speaker C:I haven't once.
Speaker C:Yeah, but they really suck.
Speaker C:Let me see if I could sit back here.
Speaker C:They really suck.
Speaker C:I apologize, guys.
Speaker C:They, you know, convulsions hurt.
Speaker C:You know, they.
Speaker C:And I.
Speaker C:First one I got was as a baby.
Speaker C:That's when they discovered my problem because I wasn't eating or drinking or breast milk.
Speaker C:I was born a normal baby, eight pounds and change baby regular time.
Speaker C:But when my mother's water broke kids, the doctor, she had the kills, and the doctor gave her an aspirin, and the aspirin went down the Polynian tube, or colonial, whatever you call it.
Speaker C:And it burned my.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Burnt my thyroid.
Speaker C:It burned my pituitary gland.
Speaker C:It burned everything.
Speaker A:So right now, for, like you said, for the last 15 years, everything is stabilized and you're able to live basically a normal life.
Speaker C:Pretty much, you know, I'm on medication for the rest of my life.
Speaker C:I, you know, I deal with what God gives me.
Speaker C:I've had a couple of blackouts where I've blacked out and I have to be rushed to the hospital.
Speaker C:And what happens is, you know, what happens is your body has X amount of glucose in the sugar, and either.
Speaker C:Sometimes it goes all the way up and you get a diabete.
Speaker C:Diabetic coma, or it goes backwards and you black out.
Speaker C:And I have low blood sugar, so I need sugar.
Speaker C:So if I ever collapse, you tell them give me sugar.
Speaker C:And they have to put an IV in and they have to give you this, basically a sugary watery content, like a distilled water.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:So you.
Speaker A:You.
Speaker A:You grew up with this.
Speaker A:And when did you find out you had the kind of, like the entertainment bug in you and you went and went into acting.
Speaker C:1986, a TV show was being filmed in my neighborhood called the Cosby show.
Speaker C:I was 14 years old and walking the neighborhood.
Speaker A:I could.
Speaker A:I could sworn.
Speaker A:Like, you were on Small Wonder.
Speaker C:No, no.
Speaker C:So she.
Speaker C:She had, like, milkshake all over her.
Speaker C:And I go, what happened to you?
Speaker C:She's like, well, I bumped into Lisa Bonet on the show, and I have milkshake.
Speaker C:So I normally would have showed up that day, but I went the next week and they were not there.
Speaker C:I won the second week, they weren't there.
Speaker C:But the third week, I got to meet Bill Cosby.
Speaker C:He was a true gentleman to me.
Speaker C:Taught me the whole.
Speaker C:The whole house of the Huxtable, the whole sound stage.
Speaker C:And I don't know if he said, come back again, or you're welcome to come back, or you could come whenever you want, but I was there every Wednesday, every week.
Speaker C:Clockwork.
Speaker A:If you don't.
Speaker A:Mario Bosco.
Speaker A:Mario Bosco is the most persistent guy you're ever gonna meet.
Speaker C:100.
Speaker C:You know that?
Speaker C: er started and got my sack on: Speaker A:For what?
Speaker A:Doing what?
Speaker C:I did a movie called Dominic and Eugene.
Speaker A:And then you record a break 91, when you did the Hard Way with Michael J.
Speaker A:Fox and James Woods.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:1990.
Speaker C:We filmed the Godfather 3 in May.
Speaker C:We did Godfather 3 in May because I remember that day they announced that Jim Henson and Sammy Davis Jr.
Speaker C:Had both passed away.
Speaker A:You were in Godfather 3, huh?
Speaker C:I was in Ulta Boy when they killed Joey Zaza.
Speaker A:Ah, that's a great scene.
Speaker C:And then.
Speaker C: And then July of: Speaker C:Fox, James woods, and I love it.
Speaker C:I think it's the best that I could never.
Speaker C:If somebody said to me, go get a regular 9 to 5 job, live a 9 to 5 life, do this regular, I can't.
Speaker C:You might as well just let me out.
Speaker C:This is what I am.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:The first time I ever saw it, I don't know.
Speaker A:Sean, you're a big fan of movies, and I know you love Salma Hayek, okay?

Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:54 is about Studio 54.
Speaker A:And Mario Bosco is the guy who's taking the dancing class, and he tries to do a split like Ryan Felipe, and he hurts his balls.
Speaker B:I did not know that.
Speaker B:I will have to go back and watch that.
Speaker B:I'll put that on my list after the Irishman.
Speaker A:Now, Sean, watched that yet.
Speaker A:What is a great movie?
Speaker A:I don't sure I'm gonna get.
Speaker A:We're gonna play a little game here with you.
Speaker A:What do you think the name of Mario's character was in?
Speaker B:What?
Speaker A:In 54.
Speaker B:It'S gonna have to be a Tony something because it's.
Speaker B:It's gonna be Italian.
Speaker A:It's Italian, but it's not Tony.
Speaker A:Now you got to remember it's Mario Bosco.
Speaker B:So what do you think the character's name?
Speaker B:Mario Bosco.
Speaker A:The character's name is Mario.
Speaker A:Correct.
Speaker C:Why don't you show us how you do your split?
Speaker A:I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker A:Mario, you do it.
Speaker C:All right.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:That was a reach.
Speaker A:His character.
Speaker B:That was a reach.
Speaker B:That was a reach.
Speaker A:But know what's funny, Mario, is your haircut in it.
Speaker A:You.
Speaker A:It looks like someone took a soup bowl and put it on your head and then cut around it.
Speaker A:You had, like, this really funny bowl cut.
Speaker C:They send me to Astro cuts downtown, and they told me that I had to go there for my haircut.
Speaker C:They.
Speaker C:They made me go there and just physically, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
Speaker C:And they made me do it there.
Speaker A:What'd you think of Selma Hayek?
Speaker A:How'd she look in person?
Speaker C:She was good, But I had never known Selma as a movie star.
Speaker C:And she told me.
Speaker C:We were during a break, and she Sat with us and, and I said, oh, what were you in?
Speaker C:And she says, like, I'm thinking I'm being pink shot on the set.
Speaker A:And she goes, wait, hold on.
Speaker A:Why would you think you're the big shot on the set?
Speaker A:Like, Ryan Philippe already had a career, okay?
Speaker A:It was, you know, he was the star of the movie.
Speaker A:There's a lot of other people.
Speaker A:And, you know, Mike Myers was in it.
Speaker A:But you're the big shot.
Speaker A:Where do you get the ner?
Speaker C:I didn't say Mike Myers, I didn't say Nath Campbell, and I didn't say Ryan Felipe.
Speaker C:Selma Hayek.
Speaker C:I had never heard of her.
Speaker C:And she was in another movie right before it.
Speaker C:And I said, who did you play?
Speaker C:And she goes, I was the star.
Speaker C:I was like, okay, well, let me.
Speaker B:Ask you, let me ask you a question.
Speaker B:Now, she's.
Speaker B:She's pretty tall, and you're in your.
Speaker B:Kind of short.
Speaker B:How she smelled down there?
Speaker C:She smells good.
Speaker C:Very good.

Speaker C:She's.
Speaker B:Oh, really?
Speaker C:Five feet.
Speaker C:She's within her five feet, like low fives.
Speaker C:And I'm 411, so it's only a couple inches different.
Speaker B:Now, are you, are you lying about the 411?
Speaker B:Because a lot of people your height like to lie.
Speaker B:Are you really 410?
Speaker C:No.
Speaker C:411.
Speaker C:All right, you said 410.
Speaker C:No.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:One extra inch, Mario.
Speaker A:One extra inch.
Speaker A:And you, you know, you, you really like, for a guy who has, you know, really overcome, I think a lot.
Speaker A:Got yourself into a bunch of movies.
Speaker A:You look at his IMDb he, he's been in a bunch of stuff.
Speaker A:But you've also kind of worked your way into getting on a lot of late night shows and you have kind of like a little bit of rapport with Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker A:Can you tell us a little bit about that?
Speaker C:So I did a movie with Denzel Washington and John Travolta called the Taken of Pelham.
Speaker A:I worked on it, taking a Pelham one two, three.
Speaker A:It's a remake, great movie.
Speaker C:And I worked on it the whole movie, and it was cool.
Speaker C:And I was in L.
Speaker C:A and I was doing another movie called at the Sinatra Club.
Speaker C:And this guy, promise me four seats.
Speaker C:Now, you know me, Jeff.
Speaker C:If you tell me, Mario, you're doing 15 minutes.
Speaker C:You're doing 10 minutes.
Speaker C:I'm doing my 10 minutes.
Speaker C:Unless there's a quick change in the lineup at the end and you're like, hey, man, listen, do it.
Speaker C:Don't do 10.
Speaker C:Because you got somebody else, and we.
Speaker C:Or we're running late.
Speaker C:No problem.
Speaker A:Did you have to sit on this lap?
Speaker C:No, I don't sit.
Speaker C:Nobody's doing it.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker C:So I did the movie.
Speaker C:The guy promised me four scenes, and instead he gives me one.
Speaker C:And he's like, if you want to be an extra, but I can't pay you.
Speaker C:And I said, nope, I'm getting on Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker C:So I go to Hollywood Boulevard.
Speaker A:That's a huge leap.
Speaker C:That's a huge leap.
Speaker C:Huge leap from.
Speaker C:From Encino doing this thing to getting on Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker C:That's a huge, huge.
Speaker A:How did you get booked on Jimmy Kimmel?
Speaker A:How did he know him?
Speaker C:I didn't know him.
Speaker C:I didn't get booked.
Speaker C:So I show up, and I got a ticket.
Speaker C:I went to go see that watch.
Speaker A:Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker C:Yeah, I went there then.
Speaker C:So what happened is, the first time I was.
Speaker C:Me, my friend Justine Marcelli and her husband, we go see the Hannah Balak, the Maria Grummage Chinese.
Speaker C:But my head was across the street at Jimmy Kimmel's studio.
Speaker C:So I had a homemade press pack ready, and I get there, and I get a ticket, and I get in, and I meet Uncle Frank.
Speaker C:Rest in peace, his uncle and Tom Barrett.
Speaker C:But I don't meet Jimmy, okay?
Speaker C:I don't get to give my press pack.
Speaker C:The next day I come back and they tell me, sorry, we cannot give you another ticket, because you were here already.
Speaker C:And normally I would have said, listen to me.
Speaker C:You.
Speaker C:You know what?
Speaker C:But I kept it clean.
Speaker C:I kept the decent.
Speaker C:I said, I want to get on the show.
Speaker C:I'm not gonna zip.
Speaker C:I'm gonna zip on my mouth, and I'm not gonna cause problems.
Speaker C:That night, I was leaving to get to the.
Speaker C:To the bus to go to Santa Monica, and Jimmy's Uncle Frank was doing a video on Highland Boulevard, taking flags off of cards for the Lakers.
Speaker C:And because the Lakers were in, ready to win the championship.
Speaker C:And so Uncle Frank comes up to me, goes, Mario by Brooklyn, Freddie had only met me once.
Speaker C:And he gives me a big hug, and he embraces me.
Speaker C:I love you.
Speaker C:I love you.
Speaker C:So this girl comes over and takes a picture, and I'm like, wait a minute.
Speaker C:I was on NYPD Blue.
Speaker C:I was known on the show, but nine years later, can't be.
Speaker C:So he says, that's my daughter, Mickey.
Speaker C:Wait a minute.
Speaker C:You're the uncle.
Speaker C:This is the list.
Speaker C:Is a whole family work here.
Speaker C:The hell's going on here?
Speaker C:My family can't sit down for a meal right Sean.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:And your family wants to kill each other.
Speaker C:After breaking the bread.
Speaker C:Never left, working every day.
Speaker C:So Mickey says, don't worry, I got you.
Speaker C:I'll get you on the list to see the show.
Speaker C:So Jimmy comes out and to the end, does them.
Speaker C:Ready for the monologue?
Speaker C:He does his monologue, and after he's done the mother, he opens it up to the who's from where, what when and where.
Speaker C:So me, I'm raising my hand like crazy, and he finally goes, yeah, you back there.
Speaker C:I said, jimmy, I'm from Brooklyn just like you, Jimmy.
Speaker C:Brooklyn, New York, Italians.
Speaker C:He goes, great, great, thank you.
Speaker C:He goes, starts laughing at.
Speaker C:We're both talking.
Speaker C:I'm telling them what I know.
Speaker C:I go, let me talk to them.
Speaker C:So we could.
Speaker C:Taking a pill on 1, 2, 3.
Speaker C:Let me see him.
Speaker C:Let me talk to him.
Speaker C:Because he.
Speaker C:He was blowing air, so.
Speaker C:No, it was in the audience.
Speaker C:So now Denzel comes out, and Denzel talks to Jimmy about the Lakers.
Speaker C:Had to become a Lakers fan from being a Knicks fan.
Speaker C:It's like, oh, Robert Thompson got me tickets when I.
Speaker C:When I moved out here.
Speaker C:And now I'm like.
Speaker C:He goes, mario knows.
Speaker C:And I'm going, okay, who's married?
Speaker C:And he goes, mario knows.
Speaker C:I go.
Speaker C:And I.
Speaker C:And he goes.
Speaker C:And he's going like this to me.
Speaker C:He's going like this to me.
Speaker C:And I'm going, no, I'm not.
Speaker C:Just.
Speaker C:And they flip the camera on me, and I'm going, I'm not dressed.
Speaker C:The tv.
Speaker C:I'm not dressed.
Speaker C:And then I see this guy cheated on the steps, and he waves his microphone to me.
Speaker C:He's like, what do you want to do?
Speaker C:And you know what I said to myself?
Speaker C:Opportunities come and you gotta take them by the storm.
Speaker C:I read that microphone.
Speaker C:I went down and I made television history.
Speaker C:And I got on for a beautiful segment with Denzel.
Speaker A:What do you think about that, Sean?
Speaker B:Listen, you know what?
Speaker B:I gotta give him credit.
Speaker B:You know why?
Speaker B:Because a lot of people don't have balls to do stuff like that.
Speaker B:But I'll tell you, I'll give you a funny story, Jeff, and now you'll understand.
Speaker B:It's good.
Speaker B:You're.
Speaker B:You're a comic.
Speaker B:Mario, you're a comic as well.
Speaker B:So I was probably.
Speaker A:Microphone, Sean.
Speaker B:Yeah, I'm right here.
Speaker B:Why?
Speaker A:Okay, because you're a little low.
Speaker B:I'm low.
Speaker B:Maybe it's the wind tunnel that Mario's behind.
Speaker B:Anyway, so, yeah, I was, like, three months into comedy, and I decided to email Jim Norton and just say, hey, you're doing a book signing in Ridgewood.
Speaker B:How about you let a new comic do five minutes before your book signing?
Speaker B:Did I ever tell you the story?
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:And what's funny about it is, like, we are.
Speaker A:We are doing this.
Speaker A:Five years I know you off of, I've never heard this story, okay?
Speaker B:So I just randomly, randomly emailed him right out of the blue.
Speaker B:So I'm.
Speaker B:I'm going to the gym, and as I'm walking into the gym, my phone rings.
Speaker B:It's my friend, and he goes, are you on the way?
Speaker B:And I go, what are you talking about?
Speaker B:He goes, come on, dude, you're on the way.
Speaker B:I'm.
Speaker B:I'm in the car.
Speaker B:I'm like, dude, what are you talking about?
Speaker B:He goes to the book signing.
Speaker B:Norton talked about it on the radio this morning.
Speaker B:And I go, dude, don't with me, because I'm an hour away and this thing starts in like an hour and five minutes.
Speaker B:He goes, get in the car now.
Speaker B:So I put the replay on, and sure enough, Norton says, yeah, I'm doing my book signing.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Comic randomly emailed me.
Speaker B:He said he's new, he wants to do a few minutes.
Speaker B:Let's see how that works out.
Speaker B:I said it.
Speaker B:Why not do it?
Speaker B:I get up there and Club Sl Kenny is working with Opie Ant at the time, and I introduce myself and he goes, okay, do your act.
Speaker B:So again, I'm three months in.
Speaker B:What do I have?
Speaker B:Five, ten minutes, maybe?
Speaker B:I do my jokes.
Speaker B:And he goes, don't Mr.
Speaker B:Norton be disappointed.
Speaker B:So everybody, they bring everybody in, and they finally announce, hey, we have a new comic, is going to do a few minutes.
Speaker B:They don't even have a microphone.
Speaker B:It was one of those old, like, you know, the ones that they do at press conferences where it has a little bass and it's just.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:I had to hold the base like this while I'm doing my act.
Speaker B:And the first couple jokes go, okay.
Speaker B:And then I get one of the Opie and Anthony and the joke bombs, and they have their phone out and they start doing the car crash.
Speaker B:And I was like, yeah, I'm done.
Speaker B:I'm done.
Speaker B:So then I, I, you know, I, I tapped out whenever they, they, you know, gave me some applause, whatever.
Speaker B:After the book signing, I.
Speaker B:I see, you know, Kenny, and he brings me over.
Speaker B:He goes, Mr.
Speaker B:Norton, this is the guy who did the stand up before you.
Speaker B:And Jimmy goes, what are you a.
Speaker B:Trying to do this?
Speaker B:And I said, yeah.
Speaker B:I said, think about it.
Speaker B:I said, what if Carlin came out 20 years ago when you first started, wouldn't you take a chance like that?
Speaker B:And he goes, no, I'm not stupid.
Speaker B:But he gave me.
Speaker B:He shook my hand, he said, you got more balls than I ever.
Speaker B:Than I ever would have wrote me a nice little thing in the book, took a picture, and that was the last time I ever got to work with Jim Nor.
Speaker C:And you haven't seen him since?
Speaker B:No, no, because our.
Speaker B:Our careers are on the same trajectory.
Speaker B:You know what I mean?
Speaker A:Well, Mar.
Speaker A:Mario, didn't you just do Sam and Jim?
Speaker C:I just did Sam and Jim in the morning hour.
Speaker C:I did it one that I do it.
Speaker C:I think I did it early December, end of November.
Speaker C:I did because I released a record, a Christmas song.
Speaker C:And I released.
Speaker C:I was in the mta.
Speaker C:I was in the MTA train stations on the live board.
Speaker C:So they brought me in.
Speaker C:I didn't get to meet Jim because he didn't show up to work that day.
Speaker A:Who filled in from.
Speaker C:You know what I said?
Speaker C:Some woman did.
Speaker C:And then they gave.
Speaker C:Pretty much I filled in because they gave me the whole show.
Speaker C:I was on for the whole hour, whatever.
Speaker C:The whole apartment was there.
Speaker C:But again, it's his loss, because I want to.
Speaker C:His Bacala would have been there.
Speaker C:He would have gotten to meet me.
Speaker C:I would have gotten to meet him.
Speaker C:You know, listen, let me tell you some.
Speaker C:One thing I don't like, and I'll tell you, sure, you started out and you took a chance for three months, and I.
Speaker C:And I say, congratulations, that was a thousand great thing you did, because that's something I would do.
Speaker C:And when somebody tells you, oh, hell, I gotta ask the headliner if you could do a guest spot to me, I want to say that headliner you, my friend, started out with the same way I started out.
Speaker C:Just remember, you might be a headliner today, but you were where I was at that time.
Speaker C:Remember that?
Speaker C:You were.
Speaker C:Jim Norton was in your position at that time in your.
Speaker C:In your career, you understand?
Speaker C:So when they say everyone doesn't want to guess about.
Speaker C:Well, now all of a sudden he's a.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:So if you put somebody on for five minutes, is it gonna break and make the show?
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:One thing that's for sure, though, is that Jeff will never be a headliner.
Speaker A:No, but I'm glad you kind of said that to Sean because Sean needs to be humbled a little bit, Mario.
Speaker A:And I think.
Speaker A:I think.
Speaker A:I think that.
Speaker A:I think that kind of like taught him a little something.
Speaker A:And he.
Speaker A:And he needs It.
Speaker C:It's not about.
Speaker C:It's not about.
Speaker C:To me, it's for every headliner out there.
Speaker C:You know, I give you, like, headliners today.
Speaker C:I asked the headliner recently.
Speaker C:I go, hey, can I open?
Speaker C:Well, I have to ask the club.
Speaker C:I go, I go, you can.
Speaker C:The door.
Speaker C:He goes, yes.
Speaker C:So you don't have to ask nobody.
Speaker C:You're getting the door.
Speaker C:You don't ask nobody.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:What I'm saying, if you want to show the club respect and say, hey, I'm bringing in a guest spot, that's up to you.
Speaker C:But if you're helping me and you're giving me an opportunity and five minutes doesn't make or break nobody.
Speaker C:Nobody's gonna go to Hollywood for five minute sets.
Speaker C:Nobody's gonna get a movie roll for five minutes.
Speaker C:Set.
Speaker C:Get it?
Speaker A:Mary, I remember you when you used to do like the Sheba Mason shows on a Saturday night.
Speaker A:And, you know, how did you go from that to kind of like really blowing up to the way you have in the past couple of years?
Speaker C:You know, it's constantly working.
Speaker C:Like people say to me, and my sister would be one, she'll be like, oh, you're going to do another free show?
Speaker C:Oh, you're gonna go do for free?
Speaker C:Yes, because I'm going to work my material so that when an opportunity comes, like, I just played, I opened for Mike Marino at the Disc Playing theater.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:I rocked it.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:I crushed it.
Speaker C:So now I'm giving them a perfect audience.
Speaker C:I'm giving them a perfect show with perfect appearance.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:Jeff was great enough to.
Speaker B:I just did my, My, My first hour special a couple months ago, and Jeff was good enough to give me time at his club.
Speaker B:And, you know, he was the one who opened for me and made sure that, you know, you got the crowd going great.
Speaker B:And, you know, opening acts are very important, Mario.
Speaker B:So I'm, you know, I'm glad you and Jeff, you know, you and Jeff are very good at what you do for the headliner.
Speaker A:Know what I mean?
Speaker A:We.
Speaker A:We are.
Speaker A:I mean, yeah, I mean, I'm.
Speaker A:I'm just coming into my own a little bit.
Speaker A:You.
Speaker A:I have.
Speaker A:I haven't.
Speaker B:Well, listen, you've gotten better, Jeff.
Speaker B:You have gotten better.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker B:You usually say you hit your sweet spot around 22 years.
Speaker C:So I think that, you know, as a headliner, you need to give your openers, need to give you your host, your.
Speaker C:Whoever it is, it's gonna be at least 15 minutes.
Speaker C:Your headliners, your feature racks, they have to make your headliner sound good.
Speaker C:If your host stops.
Speaker B:True.
Speaker C:Your show sucks.
Speaker B:Host is the most important.
Speaker B:Host is the most important.
Speaker B:100%.
Speaker C:I'm the perfect host because I watch the time, I watch the clock.
Speaker C:I watched, I watch what's going on.
Speaker C:And I know hosts, they walk away, they're getting a drink.
Speaker C:Focus on the show because you're gonna destroy the show that way.
Speaker A:You should be taking notes right now.
Speaker B:Well, in Mario too.
Speaker B:You're also getting a lot of cardio in too, because you got to keep putting the mic stand up and down and up and down and up and down.
Speaker C:I don't get any cardio.
Speaker C:You drop it down, you're screwing it with somebody else.
Speaker C:I'm not your babe.
Speaker C:I'm not your.
Speaker C:I'm not picking up your mic stand up.
Speaker C:Let me tell you something right now, and I'll tell you this from the heart, okay?
Speaker C:If I'm gonna take the position of host, let's say Jeff says to me, you're gonna hold.
Speaker C:My job is to watch your clock and I have to also watch who's in front of you.
Speaker C:Because if the person that's supposed to do 10 minutes is the room and people are getting up and they're walking out of the room or the chitchen, that means I have to light you.
Speaker C:Sorry.
Speaker C:We're friends.
Speaker C:I love you, but I gotta like you.
Speaker C:I gotta get you off because you're, you're dragging my showdown.
Speaker C:Because although it's Jeff's club and Jeff's show, my responsibility is my show because I want to show I'm the host.
Speaker C:So now I have to let you and get you off and get the next person on and, and, and save the show and hope the next person has the opportunity to put on that.
Speaker C:That's good.
Speaker C:And one thing I would explain a lot of clubs, they don't care who they put on just to make the time go.
Speaker C:But you gotta watch if the guy does vulgar or the guy is too high struck.
Speaker C:Let's take Steve Marshall.
Speaker C:I love Steve Marshall, but Steve Marshall is a very high strung comic.
Speaker C:You can't put a guy that's gonna go up there, that's a woman that's gonna do church jokes because it's not gonna work.
Speaker C:Gino Biscar.
Speaker A:Mario.
Speaker A:What if the comic is like a six, four, used to weigh 400 pounds.
Speaker A:Got that.
Speaker A:Got himself down to 250.
Speaker A:Very arrogant, smug Irishman, partly Italian.
Speaker A:What if that was the comic?
Speaker A:How do you handle a guy like that?
Speaker C:Listen, you, you need to you know, by yourself, you need to handle the show.
Speaker C:And if the guy sucks and the guy's killing my show, guess what, buddy, I love you.
Speaker C:You want to punch me out after.
Speaker C:You want to hit me?
Speaker C:I could be a punching bag, but you're still going to get a light.
Speaker C:And if you don't, I like you.
Speaker B:You're doing the right thing.
Speaker B:No, you're doing, you are 100% correct, Mario, when it comes to this, because the host is the most important thing.
Speaker B:You got to steer the ship.
Speaker B:You know, it sucks too.
Speaker B:Like when you have a great comic on stage, right?
Speaker B:You can have a good feature or whatever.
Speaker B:They're doing a 10 minute spot and they're killing and you still got to pull them off and that kind of sucks too.
Speaker B:Then you're bringing up another comic and maybe they sucked and you're like, oh, I could have given the other guy two more minutes because he was killing, you know.
Speaker B:You know, it's even worse though, with the worst comics though that are out there, Mario, are the ones that just, they write these jokes they think are so original, you know, and all they are these joke.
Speaker B:They're joke book jokes, you know what I mean?
Speaker B:They're joke.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker B:And, and they don't own it, and they don't own the fact about their real age.
Speaker B:You know what I mean?
Speaker B:Like, there's just a lot of things that they just, you know, stop using the headshots from 20 years ago.
Speaker B:You know what I mean?
Speaker B:Like, you gotta live in the now.
Speaker B:Right, Mario?
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker A:The Mario, get this.
Speaker A:Does know I've been in this business.
Speaker C:Your business, for 39 years.
Speaker C:I'll be 30, I'll be 52 next week.
Speaker C:Let me tell you one thing.
Speaker C:If you don't control your career, I have people that beg me all the time to get them shows.
Speaker C:I personally don't.
Speaker C:I'm not gonna say that I'm the, the toest.
Speaker C:I'm the best.
Speaker C:I'm gonna take the position over anybody.
Speaker C:No, but if you're gonna go up there and do profanity or you're gonna use profanity and you're gonna use it like where?
Speaker C:And now you come up.
Speaker C:Now the guy just.
Speaker C:People are getting disgusted that he's talking about pooping personality and doing.
Speaker A:No, that, that you don't do that.
Speaker A:You don't, you don't.
Speaker A:No, that's work.
Speaker A:It's called working blue.
Speaker A:And you know, comics shouldn't do that.
Speaker A:And you know.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:I, I agree with you 100 here, Mary.
Speaker C:Don't Know what a comic does until they get up there like me, I tell them straight out.
Speaker C:I do self deprecation.
Speaker C:I talk about myself.
Speaker C:I don't talk about presidents.
Speaker C:I don't talk about religion.
Speaker C:I don't talk about politics.
Speaker A:I don't talk about it mother or anything.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker C:I talk about my mother, but none of this that.
Speaker C:But she's okay.
Speaker C:She knows I'm good.
Speaker C:I'm a good boy.
Speaker C:But the point is, is that people.
Speaker A:Don'T appreciate their mother.
Speaker C:I understand, but you know, Sean, you want to give your crowd the perfect show that they deserve.
Speaker C:But if you get somebody that goes up there and Sean's neck, I'm right before Sean.
Speaker C:Guy goes up there and talks about the spirit.
Speaker C:Disgusting thing.
Speaker C:And people are reading.
Speaker C:I learned this a long time ago.
Speaker C:When it's in a place with food, keep it.
Speaker C:Keep it coherent, keep it smart.
Speaker C:Don't talk about dirty food.
Speaker C:I don't want to hear about toilets.
Speaker C:I don't want to hear about the party training.
Speaker C:I don't want to.
Speaker C:But diapers, I don't want to hear because it may help.
Speaker C:I'll just get up and I'll walk right out and.
Speaker C:And that's the way I feel.
Speaker B:I agree too, Mary.
Speaker B:You know what I hate to.
Speaker B:When you go, when you're doing these comedy shows, you know you're gonna have like a lot of couples that are in the crowd or people who were dating.
Speaker B:You know what I hate when.
Speaker B:Is when a comic gets up there and like, he has to do the typical jokes about my wife.
Speaker B:And he, he does this really horrible, like impression of the wife.
Speaker B:You know, when it's like, your voice.
Speaker B:This is what I want you to do.
Speaker B:That over the top.
Speaker B:Oh, it's hard.
Speaker B:Just do the material.
Speaker B:You don't have to do impressions.
Speaker A:Yeah, just do the job.
Speaker A:People don't listen.
Speaker A:People don't want voices.
Speaker A:They don't want.
Speaker A:They don't.
Speaker A:They don't want you to like to vary the voice.
Speaker A:They don't want entertainment.
Speaker A:What they want is they just want you to go out there, talk monotone.
Speaker A:If you, if you try and be too cool for the room.
Speaker A:That's what comedy.
Speaker A:That's real comedy.
Speaker A:But man, I want to switch gears here for a second.
Speaker A:And there's a.
Speaker A:There's a couple things before we have to let you go, because I have.
Speaker C:I have people waiting for me.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker A:Yeah, you're taking up a booth and you ordered a water.
Speaker A:There was a couple of controversies with you.
Speaker A:One, what's the thing with The Sopranos.
Speaker A:Were you on the Sopranos?
Speaker A:Were you not on the Sopranos?
Speaker A:Because there's a lot of buzz online about this with you clear that up.
Speaker C:I worked.
Speaker C:I got hired to be A.J.
Speaker C:soprano standard.
Speaker C:And then after A.J.
Speaker C:grew up, I was Bobby Bachelor standard.
Speaker A:Well, you guys look a lot alike.
Speaker C:One day, aj, they were doing a scene and visit Pastori and.
Speaker C:And Michael Imperial.
Speaker C:They needed to do some Italian stuff.
Speaker C:And then James Gandolfini came up.
Speaker C:James said the video come up to me and go, hey, how do you.
Speaker C:How do you say.
Speaker C:And I would do different wording for him just so that it sounded right, so he'd be on track.
Speaker C:The best memory.
Speaker A:So you coached Gandaffini a little bit, right?
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker C:The best memory for Gandalfini with me has to be when we were at.
Speaker C:We were eating lunch during the pilot, and they brought us for lunch, and James was sitting behind my mother much shoulder, and he took his tray, heard me and my mother speak Italian.
Speaker C:He took his tray and sat on my mother's left.
Speaker C:And he said he wanted to learn how to speak Italian for the show.
Speaker C:And we helped him.
Speaker C:So that's all.
Speaker A:Yeah, I can't see HBO getting, like, an Italian tune.
Speaker A:I can see, you know, getting Mario Bosco to kind of help him out here a little bit.
Speaker B:What part of Italy is your family from?
Speaker B:Very nice.
Speaker B:My family is Calabrese and.
Speaker A:And Mofites, but Mario's family is from Sicily.
Speaker A:Israel.
Speaker A:Mario, did you get on the air?
Speaker A:Were you on an episode?
Speaker C:Yes, I was.
Speaker C:I didn't have lunch, but I was in the background.
Speaker C:I was behind the cage.
Speaker C:The school year id when AJ fights one of the kids, and I turn around and I go.
Speaker C:And I.
Speaker C:And I have this thing with him, and I go, come on, aj.
Speaker C:Come on.
Speaker C:But they took my wording not to pay me.
Speaker C:They took mine out and they digitally put something in, and it sounds.
Speaker C:They don't lowered my voice, and they added one of the workers.
Speaker C:Sometimes what they would do, they would dub somebody's voice not to pay them the principal role and give them a credit.
Speaker C:So what they would do is, is they would take out the voice and they'd get a crew member or a digital computer would digitally do the wording, and it would sound like a computer.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:So mostly you were.
Speaker A:You worked on the show as a stand in to AJ and then got a little bit of background work.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Because that's one thing I want to kind of clear up the other thing.
Speaker C:All the time on a Friday night, we work and James Gandolfini would turn around and order a lobster truck, a surf and turf, and he give out surf and turf and lobster all night.
Speaker C:And we ate all.
Speaker C:All night long.
Speaker C:Lobster and shrimp and so very jealous.
Speaker A:So you admit you had lobster?
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Also tell us a little bit about what is Growing Up Italian?
Speaker A:Because I see you wearing the shirt now.
Speaker A:Is that.
Speaker A:Is that.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Is that your show?
Speaker C:No, that's not my show.
Speaker C:Growing Up Italian is a podcast that I got invited to do, and they're huge.
Speaker C:They have 2 million, 2.3 million followers.
Speaker B:They're really, really big.
Speaker C:They're really, really big.
Speaker C:And I do their show.
Speaker C:I do them.
Speaker C:They're grown up.
Speaker C:At 10, I was supposed to do Christmas Day, but I was very sick, so I couldn't do it.
Speaker A:But you've been on it before.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker A:How often are you on the show?
Speaker C:I've been on it maybe eight times, and I'm scheduled to do another episode real soon.
Speaker A:And you're.
Speaker A:And once again, your podcast is called the Mario Bosco Show.
Speaker A:Yeah, Mario Bosco.
Speaker C:Exactly.
Speaker A:What do you do?
Speaker A:You talk about all things Mario Bosco.
Speaker C:No, I have.
Speaker C:I have.
Speaker C:I have a clue.
Speaker C:I have.
Speaker C:You know, we have a guest.
Speaker C:We have a guest.
Speaker C:We've had Lisa Ann.
Speaker C:We've had Charles Oakley.
Speaker C:We've had.
Speaker C:We have had so many people on.
Speaker C:We've had.
Speaker A:I did see the Charles Oakley episode.
Speaker A:Mario, just a little, little hint here.
Speaker A:When you bring on a guest like Charles Oakley, kind of good idea to kind of like know who he is and what his stats are and what position he played.
Speaker C:I knew he was in.
Speaker C:I knew his number was 34.
Speaker C:I knew who he was.
Speaker C:I knew he played the Knicks.
Speaker C:I knew everything.
Speaker C:I knew he played for Chicago.
Speaker C:He had a problem with.
Speaker C:I knew Charles Barkley.
Speaker C:I knew the whole stats were him.
Speaker A:You had Charles Oakley on Oakley?
Speaker C:Yes, but he and Charles Barkley never got along, and he didn't get along with Ewan, and he fought with a lot, a lot of people.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So, Mary, how's this.
Speaker A:How's.
Speaker A:Before we let you go, how is, you know, I.
Speaker A:I wrote down here that you are one of the hardest working comics that I know.
Speaker A:How's Stand up going for you?
Speaker C:Hold on one second.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:What?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:No, Sean was just telling me how much he.
Speaker A:He's enjoying this episode and he, you know, he was very excited to have you on.
Speaker A:That's the reason why I was so trying to get you, because he had never met you before, and he's yeah.
Speaker B:And I've seen you work at Catch a Rising Star in Princeton a lot, you know, and I keep seeing your name popping up.
Speaker B:So the next time, you know, you know.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:Are you still here, Mario?
Speaker B:I was gonna give you a gig.
Speaker B:I was gonna offer you a gig, but if you're not paying attention.
Speaker C:I'm sorry.
Speaker C:I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker C:I'm telling somebody to wait one second.
Speaker C:You know, that's why I'm about to work.
Speaker B:Me and Jeff usually work Catch a Rising Star together, and I'm due back there in, like, June or July.
Speaker B:Jeff's out.
Speaker B:Jeff's out.

Speaker A:I think.
Speaker A:I think this was our last episode.
Speaker B:Oh, there's no question.
Speaker B:This is our last episode.
Speaker A:I mean, how do we follow that?
Speaker B:We do.
Speaker B:We can.
Speaker B:This is.
Speaker B:This is what you call the proverbial mic drop.
Speaker B:Like, how do you go out?
Speaker B:Like, do.
Speaker B:Do you ride off like Thelma and Louise and drive off the cliff?
Speaker B:Do you.
Speaker B:Do you drive down the road like Jack Teller did in Sons of Anarchy with the police shooting him at the back of the head?
Speaker B:Jeff, does the door just open?
Speaker B:Does the door just open?
Speaker B:And the.
Speaker B:And the bell rings when Meadow Soprano walks in the door and you see the shady guy walk by and Tony looks up and the music just stops.
Speaker A:Bullet in the eye, just like in Godfather.
Speaker A:Listen, if there is another episode, okay, please follow Sean and I on.
Speaker A:On our social media.
Speaker B:And this is actually my favorite episode we've ever done.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:We do come back.
Speaker A:This is why we come back, because we have the best producer in the game.
Speaker A:Adam.
Speaker B:Listen, on that note, too, I do want to thank our producer, Adam.
Speaker B:Adam was the producer of my first special, which came out, and I will gladly say I debuted at number nine on the iTunes charts, and I went rapidly down the list.
Speaker B:But I did debut at number nine for the album version, and the video version is doing well.
Speaker B:We're getting a lot of great response from it too.
Speaker B:And thank you both for your part in it.
Speaker B:I greatly appreciate it and now it looks great, folks.
Speaker A:It really how a video should look.
Speaker A:Forget about the content.
Speaker B:Horrible.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Put it on mute.
Speaker A:We get it.
Speaker A:You put on weight, you lost weight.
Speaker A:You have a mother.
Speaker A:We understand that.
Speaker A:But if you want to see how a video should be shot, okay.
Speaker A:And you want to see a really listen to a really great crowd, this is the video you should watch.
Speaker A:Forget about who's on stage.
Speaker A:Just watch the way it's shot.
Speaker A:It's a.
Speaker A:It's a very, very good video, folks.
Speaker A:It really.
Speaker B:I agree.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:So with that, hopefully we'll catch you next time, Adam.
Speaker B:No guarantees.
Speaker A:Happy New Year to you, Sean.
