(05:12):
fantastic eightieth birthday to the great Robert de Niro, the
fantastic Robert de Niro. Bob de Niro is eighty years
old today, and every year we celebrate Bobby d every
(05:39):
single I mean, one of the first I Am Rapaport
Stereo Podcast Award winning segments was the Robert de Niro
Line of the Week, which I stopped doing because it
was hard to keep up with, although if I could
do it, I would do the Robert De Nirol line
(05:59):
of the week all the time. I would do the
Robert Duniro line of the day. I fucking love this
guy so much. And when I realized that this morning
was Robert d Niro's eightieth birthday, I was just like,
I hope he's okay. He just lost his grandson in
a terrible way. Young kid passed of a drug overdose,
(06:23):
very very very sad. And we know Bob doesn't like fanfare.
We know Bob doesn't like attention. We know Bob likes
the proof to be in the pudding. We know, Bob
lets his work do the talking, but we must fawn
and let Robert de Niro know.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
From me.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'll just say, on my behalf, this man has given
me so so many moments of inspiration, so many laughs,
so many smiles, so many tears. He has spawned so
many emotions. He has inspired me on such a deep,
(07:08):
deep level. As an actor, I appreciate his work, his artistic.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Integrity, his.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Quest for perfection so deeply, and he just means so
much to me and so so many fans. And there's
not an actor that has not been inspired, has not
been in awe, hasn't been touched, hasn't been moved by
(07:41):
Robert De Niro for years, year after year after year
after year after fucking year. Robert de Niro one of
the greatest artists of all time, A true blue artist,
not just an actor, a goddamn artist. I mean the
artistry that he has shown in his work all these
(08:02):
years and continues to do a time and time again.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It just means so much to me. I mean, and
we could go.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
On and on and on about every goddamn fucking movie
that this man has ever made. From the gang that
couldn't shoot, strength to bang the drum slowly to his
real breakout performance in Mean Streets. Oh my god, Johnny Boy,
the character that he played in Mean Streets.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
If you have never seen Mean Treats, do yourself a
favor and watch it. If you don't want to watch Meantreats,
just google Robert de Niro in Mean Streets. And he
literally there was no bota bing, There was no none
of that street, Italian Street, forget about it. There was
none of that.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
In film.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
There was none of that on TV obviously until Robert
De Niro brought that shit to the forefront. I mean
obviously with other great you know, New York performances, Marlon
Brando and you know all these sort of mobster you
know films of the thirties, forties and fifties. But he
he made it real. He brought that fucking bottom being,
(09:17):
that Tony soprano shit, that that big pussy that James Cohn.
I mean, he brought that shit. That Donnie Brasco. He
did it on his own, from his own creation. This
is his own imagination that he did it in nineteen
seventy three in Mean Streets with the great Harvey kin Tell.
(09:39):
Of course, that was the first time he worked with
Martin Scorsese. I just fucking loved this guy, man, and
I did the the Robert de Niro line of the
Week from Mean Streets in the past, Miles Jordan, play
a Little Something from Mean Streets. Play Robert de Niro
(09:59):
talking to Harvey kin Tell in Mean Streets. I'm gonna
let Robert de Niro do the Robert de Niro line
of the Week. Listen to him talking the opening scene.
I mean, if you watch this scene and you watch
Harvey Kitell, you could see he's like, what the fuck man?
Robert de Niro's acting was. He was bringing a sense
(10:22):
of reality and a sense of authenticity and an energy
and a kinetic, frenetic, tangible energy to the surface in
Mean Streets. Play that scene with Harvey Kinel from Mean Streets.
Miles Jordan aka the Bleach Brothers aka the Dust Brothers, respectfully.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Michael's been in my back all night. He's bothering me.
Why didn't you make you pay me last Tuesday?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I made my pay my last Weuday? What are you
talking about?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
You paid him last week?
Speaker 6 (10:50):
I paid him last week? Why what he says?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Shot him?
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Pay him?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
It's a fucking liar.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Where was he?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
You're paid him?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I paid him last week? Yeah, last weekday.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, Charlie, you don't know what. He's here out front,
he's here. Yeah, so what do I kid?
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Well, let me go get him straighten this thing out,
all right.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And waited my way to Charlie.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
What wait, you're right, I'm right.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Was it last Tuesday?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, that's the tuesday that was last week, that's before.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
The one is about to come up.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
My mistake.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'm sorry forgive me.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
It was last week the week before that. I was
thinking of yeah, oh yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Honest, that's mean streets.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And then, of course, Robert Deniel went on to do
Godfather Part two, where he portrayed Vito Corleone, the Godfather
himself young Marlon Brando, and then he shut the.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Whole fucking shit down. Yo.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
He went from Mean Streets to The Godfather Part two
to a taxi driver. He could have retired, He could
have fucking retired. And then the Deer Hunter. This is this,
This is this seen when they're playing Russian Roulette after
(12:04):
being captured in Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Is so God damn.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It, it's gonna be all right, Nikki, go ahead, shoot
show nick.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Look you go. You're gonna die, you mother fuck You're
gonna die. God damn it.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The energy, the fucking real, the reality, the fear, the intensity,
everything is in his scene in the Deer Hunter. Fucking ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Again. This ship comes from his imagination. Let me tell
you something. This stuff isn't in the script.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
What Robert de Niro does, Robert de Niro takes the script,
takes all the ideas, takes all the thoughts of the
director and the writer and the script, and then puts
it into his imagination. One of the underrated words when
you're talking about acting is imagination.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's play.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And Robert de Niro has an incredible imagination Deer Hunter,
ridiculous performance. And then, of course, if I have to
take one, I go with Raging Bull.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
She really did some job on it. You know how
fucking nuts you are what she did to you?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
You fuck my wife?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
What you fuck my wife?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
How could you ask me a question? How could you
ask me?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I'm your brother?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You asked me that?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Where do you get your bulls big enough to ask
me that.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Just tell me my favorite of all, my favorite Robert
de Niro performances. We did an entire podcast dedicated to
Raging Bull. If you've never heard the Iron rapp Port
stereo podcast, Raging Bull Podcast, where we had Martin Scorsese,
John Teturo, the Real Jake Lamatta, Max Callum and Nick
(14:16):
to Turn. It's just a great fucking podcast. You should
you should check that out.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And you know.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Then he went on to do The King of Comedy,
which I watched this morning. Rupert Putkin such a bugged out, weird, unique,
fucking original film directed by Martin Scorsese, co starring Jerry Lewis,
Sandra Bernhard, Once upon a Time in America, Brazil underrated
(14:48):
film Angel Heart, Midnight Run, God damn it. I love
that fucking film Midnight Run him and Charles Groden. I

fucking savage mad Dog, and Glory underrated film Uma Thurman,
(15:10):
Bill Murray. This Boy's Light Life launched the career of
Leonardo DiCaprio, a Bronxtown which he directed Casino.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
You're in the finances, You're upstairs, but you are not
on the floor. You don't see what's going on. I've
got thousands of players. I got five hundred dealers.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
They're all looking to rob me.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Flying twenty four hours a day. I have to let
them know I'm watching all the details all the time,
that there is not one single thing I will not
catch as I am over here.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Heat Copland, which I had the honor, the fucking honor
of working with Robert De Niro and Copland Jackie Brown,
one of my favorite, deep cut, underrated, underappreciated De Niro performances,
my favorite Samuel Jackson performance ever, and just so for
(16:00):
and so on, and meet the parents, Meet the fucking
parents when he started doing the comedy, and analyze this
and meet the fockers. I just Miles Jordan, play a
little bit of Robert de Niro. I was gonna do
the Robert de Niro line of the week. Give me
(16:21):
some Robert de Niro as himself. The Robert de Niro
Lines of the Week, performed by Robert de Niro.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You're talking to me, talking to me, But who the
hell so you're talking talking to me?
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Well, I'm the only one here.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't think about one shot that much anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Mike, you have to think about one shot.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
One shot is what it's all about. He has to
be taken with one shot.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I try to tell people that analyst.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Ay right, never went down man, ever gotten me down right,
never gotten down. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used
to say you can get further with a kind word
and a gun than you cant with just a kind word.
And in that neighborhood it might have been true. And
sometimes a reputation follows you. There is violence in Chicago,
of course, but not by me and not by anybody
(17:29):
I employ. And I tell you why, because it's not
good business.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
It's all bad.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
People forgotten what life is all about.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
They've forgotten what it is to be alive. They need
to be reminded.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
They need to be reminded about.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
What they have and what they can lose. And what
I feel is the joy of life, the gift of life,
the freedom of life, the wonderment of life.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
You took your first place like a man, and you
mean the two greatest things in.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Life, Well, look at me.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Never read on your friends and always keep your mind shut.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Okay, I told me one time, don't let yourself get
attached to anything you are not willing to walk out
on in thirty seconds flat. If you feel the heat
around the corner, now, if you're around me and you
got to move when I move, how to expect to
keep her a marriage? She left?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Miss she left? What he experiencing.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Let me tell you, I know you don't want to
listen to you.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
For all I don't listen to mine. And I'm telling
you you got to pay attention to science and life
reaches out at a moment like this. It's a sin if
you don't reach back. I'm telling it's a sin if
you don't reach back into the launch in.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
The rest of your days like a curse.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
You're facing a big.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Challenge in your life right now, at this very moment,
right here, that God loves you. If she wouldn't be
a love you and I don't know if Nick you
ever did, but you're sure as hell doesn't love you
right now.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I'm telling you, don't fuck this up.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Bob de Niro, thank you for everything you've done for us.
Thank you for pushing the medium foll you pushed, You
pushed what is even in the idea of what's capable
for us as actors. To do the fucking best, Bobby D.
One of my favorite performance is Silver Linings Playbook starring

Cooper's father, Just so vulnerable and so great. Robert Danio,

Moon with DiCaprio, that Scorsese directed. Robert daniro eighty years old,

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Speaking of birthdays, I didn't know this.

aware of this when I realized that it was Bobby.

the same cloth, same type of method, actor, the ridiculous

Sean Penn turned sixty three. They share the same birthday.
Not surprised. Talk about a goddamn fucking career, Talk about

Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Bad Boys. I mean he

that film him and what's my guy's name is?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Morales? Love that dude, good dude man.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Sean Penn's another motherfucking beast man, a funking beast. I
love him as a director. Do you ever see Indian Runner.
Love that film he directed Into the Wild Carlito's Way
as a funking actor.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Kleinman.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Dead Man Walking directed by another beast of an actor.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I mean, that's a that's a very very very very

Robbins Milk.

One of my favorite performances that he ever did twenty
one Grams with Benisio del Toro, Sean Penn and Naomi
Wants that's ain't That is a fucking film right there.
I wouldn't call it a feel good film, but if
you've never seen twenty one Grams, that is a fucking.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Excellent, excellent, excellent film.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
And like I said, imagination, it's imagination, it's grit, it's determination,
it's creativity. I mean, shit, man, I'm not even tipping
the iceberg of all the things casualties of war. That
a state of grace. Jesus Christ. I fucking love Sean Penn.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
And rip shout out to his brother. We lost so young.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
The great Chris Penn was just another great actor that
was gone too soon, who I had the pleasure of
working with in true romance.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
And becoming friends with.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
So Happy birthday to both of those guys and sending love, love,
love thoughts. The Great Chris Penn Reservoir Dogs, so Forth
at Close Range, which of course starred Sean Penn, Christopher
Walken and Chris Penn.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Dope underrated, weird film.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Since we're going down the road of films in general
on acting, this conversation came up again. It is so stupid,
so ridiculous, such a waste of time, So much of
the stupid cancel culture frenzy, fucking social media shit storm
(24:35):
that gets attention that doesn't deserve any fucking attention. The
Great Bradley Cooper has a film coming out called Maestro.
It is a film that he directed where he plays
Leonard Bernstein. Now, most of you dumb funks that are
(24:56):
causing all this confusion trying to cancel this, that and
the third, all these idiots don't even know who Leonard
Bernstein is one of the great Jews of all time. Okay,
Leonard Bernstein, look them up, you fools, your dumb dumbs.
(25:17):
Leonard Bernstein's is a songwriter, a composer. He's written so much,
created so much music that most of us probably don't
even know that it was made by Leonard Bernstein. Miles Jordan,
play a little bit, Play a little bit of the
great Leonard Bernstein. Give me a little Rhapsody in blue.
(26:02):
That's Leonard Bernstein. Everybody knows that music. I learned of
Leonard Bernstein from my father. My father's a big classical
music buff, buff buff disco Dave loves classical music. But
Leonard Bernstein did the music for films. He's this and
(26:23):
he's Jewish, and he's a great jew Anyway, Leonard Bernstein.
There's a film that is coming out about the life
of Leonard Bernstein. Bradley Cooper, who is excellent, an excellent actor,
proven himself to be a great director also with The
(26:47):
Star is Born, and he is fucking star. Everybody loves
Bradley Cooper. He's a good looking guy. Ladies love cool Bradley.
Lll c be Ladies love cool Bradley. Anyway, he directed
this film that I believe I ain't saying when it's
(27:09):
coming out because we're not supposed to promote as sag strikers,
we're not supposed to promote. Nonetheless, this film's got enough
bad promotion on its own because of the controversy that
Bradley Cooper is getting because he is number one not Jewish.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
We've had this conversation before on the Iron Wrapper, before
It's stereo podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Bradley Cooper's not Jewish, duh, and he used a prosthetic nose,
which they're now saying they jewed him up. They gave
him jew face, they gave them jew nose. Now, let
me start this conversation by saying this. The idea that
only Jewish actors should play Jewish characters, whether they're real
(27:59):
or not real, obviously, Leonard Bernstein is real. The idea
that only real autistic actors should play autistic characters, the
idea that only trans actors should play trans characters, albeit
men or women, is so stupid, it's so fucking asinide.
(28:23):
It's so ridiculous. And the films that I just discussed
of just Robert de Niro and Sean Penn, if they
had to cast real characters, the real thing, the real
authentic item in any one of Robert de Niro's roles,
he wouldn't be Robert de Niro, You dumb, fuck you,
(28:47):
Robert DeNiro was in a He's Italian, but he wasn't
a real true blue gangster. When Robert Robert de Niros
played Jews, Robert de Niro has played boxers.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Like, at what point does it become stupid?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Real Jews should play Only Jewish actors should play Jewish characters.
Only autistic actors should play autistic characters. Only trans actors
should play trans characters. Dumb, fucking stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Sean Penn has played Jews.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Robert Daniro is playing characters from the South, but he's
all del Toro's Puerto Rican. He's played characters that are
in Puerto Rican. He's played Italians and so forth and
so on. The idea that you have to be Jewish
to play Jewish parts is stupid. The idea that you
have to be Italian to play Italian parts is stupid.
(29:49):
And it's been weaponized because it all started, you know,
on the mainstream because a few years ago, remember remember
Scarlett Johanson was going to do that film been Tug Rubb,
which I read that script, Rubin Tug.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It's based on this.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Character, this woman trans woman. Uh oh, let me get
it right. It was a woman who was a trans man.
Dante Gill actually read this script, ran a bunch of
massage pollors and and you know they.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Became fronts for prostitution.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Dens and Mascarlo Joans was gonna play it. And because
of social media, the pressure and the backlash that she
was getting before the film was even being shot, the
film never got made. And let me tell you something,
the film Rubin Tug will never get made because it
takes stars to make movies. You think anybody's you gonna
(30:46):
just give up their money for some Joe Schmoe to
star in a film called Rubin Tug about some you know,
some small independent film about some you know per that
nobody knows about called Dante Gill who's a trans man.
And the presser and the backlash from the trans community,
(31:09):
from the gay community, film didn't get made. So you
know what happens now, The film will never get made.
Mark my words, that film will never ever, ever, ever
ever get made. Daniel day Lewis is another one, played
Vincent van Go. Should the film have not getting gotten made?
(31:32):
Vince van Goo is Dutch? Daniel day Lewis isn't Was
it blasphemy that Vincent Vango played a Dutch character. You
fucking dumb dumbs, You dumb dumbs. Daniel da Lewis is English.
He's played Irish characters. You dummies, You fucking stupid dummies.
(31:55):
He was in the Last of the Mohegans. Also, he
was in the Age of Innocence. That's why it's called acting,
you fools. There's all this backlash about Bradley Cooper wearing prosthetics,
saying it's jewface.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
He was putting on.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The prosthetics to look like Leonard Bernstein, not to be
smudge Jews, who at times we do have prominent noses.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
And I love my fucking beak. I got a big
fucking jew beak. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
And if that's what Bradley Cooper needed to Bradley Cooper
don't have a jew beak. I have no problem with
him putting on a jew beak to portray Leonard Bernstein.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
It's called acting. It's and this is what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
And the people that are upset about it probably don't
know one thing about Leonard Bernstein, but they know a
lot about being upset. Get a fucking life, Get a
live Denzel Washington has done Shakespeare. Shakespeare wasn't written for
black people, you fools. The great al Pacino scarface, he
(33:09):
ain't Cuban. Al Pacino's not even fully Italian. He's part
Puerto Rican.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Actors act, actors, act and shooters shoot. Actors act and
shooters shoot.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Bradley Cooper need to put on that big jew nose
to play Leonard Burnston, because, like I said, some of
us do have big jew noses and they're beautiful. If
you do have a big jew nose, be proud of
that big fucking Jewish speaker of yours.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'm proud of mine.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
My father loves his chunky, big fucking big ashke Nazi
jew Nos.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I got fucking proud of it.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
The only thing that James Gandolfini had in common with
Tony Soprano was that they're Italian.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Other than that, they had nothing in common. Should they have.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Gotten a real Italian to play Tony Soprano, you fucking
dumb dumbs. So now this film is gonna have to
deal with all the the dumbness, the goofiness, the stupidness
of woke, the woke mob, the woke mobs that come
(34:19):
after every single thing and any thing, but I'm gonna
be watching it because Bradley Cooper is a dope actor.
Bradley Cooper has proved himself to be a dope filmmaker,
and I know he puts his blood and guts into
everything he does, hence the reason why he's so good.
And The Maestro is coming out on Netflix at some
(34:39):
point in the next few weeks, and I'll be checking
it out a week one. Not gonna say day one,
but I'll be checking it out definitely week one. Anyway,

(05:12):
fantastic eightieth birthday to the great Robert de Niro, the
fantastic Robert de Niro. Bob de Niro is eighty years
old today, and every year we celebrate Bobby d every
(05:39):
single I mean, one of the first I Am Rapaport
Stereo Podcast Award winning segments was the Robert de Niro
Line of the Week, which I stopped doing because it
was hard to keep up with, although if I could
do it, I would do the Robert De Nirol line
(05:59):
of the week all the time. I would do the
Robert Duniro line of the day. I fucking love this
guy so much. And when I realized that this morning
was Robert d Niro's eightieth birthday, I was just like,
I hope he's okay. He just lost his grandson in
a terrible way. Young kid passed of a drug overdose,
(06:23):
very very very sad. And we know Bob doesn't like fanfare.
We know Bob doesn't like attention. We know Bob likes
the proof to be in the pudding. We know, Bob
lets his work do the talking, but we must fawn
and let Robert de Niro know.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
From me.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'll just say, on my behalf, this man has given
me so so many moments of inspiration, so many laughs,
so many smiles, so many tears. He has spawned so
many emotions. He has inspired me on such a deep,
(07:08):
deep level. As an actor, I appreciate his work, his artistic.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Integrity, his.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Quest for perfection so deeply, and he just means so
much to me and so so many fans. And there's
not an actor that has not been inspired, has not
been in awe, hasn't been touched, hasn't been moved by
(07:41):
Robert De Niro for years, year after year after year
after year after fucking year. Robert de Niro one of
the greatest artists of all time, A true blue artist,
not just an actor, a goddamn artist. I mean the
artistry that he has shown in his work all these
(08:02):
years and continues to do a time and time again.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It just means so much to me. I mean, and
we could go.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
On and on and on about every goddamn fucking movie
that this man has ever made. From the gang that
couldn't shoot, strength to bang the drum slowly to his
real breakout performance in Mean Streets. Oh my god, Johnny Boy,
the character that he played in Mean Streets.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
If you have never seen Mean Treats, do yourself a
favor and watch it. If you don't want to watch Meantreats,
just google Robert de Niro in Mean Streets. And he
literally there was no bota bing, There was no none
of that street, Italian Street, forget about it. There was
none of that.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
In film.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
There was none of that on TV obviously until Robert
De Niro brought that shit to the forefront. I mean
obviously with other great you know, New York performances, Marlon
Brando and you know all these sort of mobster you
know films of the thirties, forties and fifties. But he
he made it real. He brought that fucking bottom being,
(09:17):
that Tony soprano shit, that that big pussy that James Cohn.
I mean, he brought that shit. That Donnie Brasco. He
did it on his own, from his own creation. This
is his own imagination that he did it in nineteen
seventy three in Mean Streets with the great Harvey kin Tell.
(09:39):
Of course, that was the first time he worked with
Martin Scorsese. I just fucking loved this guy, man, and
I did the the Robert de Niro line of the
Week from Mean Streets in the past, Miles Jordan, play
a Little Something from Mean Streets. Play Robert de Niro
(09:59):
talking to Harvey kin Tell in Mean Streets. I'm gonna
let Robert de Niro do the Robert de Niro line
of the Week. Listen to him talking the opening scene.
I mean, if you watch this scene and you watch
Harvey Kitell, you could see he's like, what the fuck man?
Robert de Niro's acting was. He was bringing a sense
(10:22):
of reality and a sense of authenticity and an energy
and a kinetic, frenetic, tangible energy to the surface in
Mean Streets. Play that scene with Harvey Kinel from Mean Streets.
Miles Jordan aka the Bleach Brothers aka the Dust Brothers, respectfully.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Michael's been in my back all night. He's bothering me.
Why didn't you make you pay me last Tuesday?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I made my pay my last Weuday? What are you
talking about?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
You paid him last week?
Speaker 6 (10:50):
I paid him last week? Why what he says?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Shot him?
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Pay him?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
It's a fucking liar.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Where was he?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
You're paid him?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I paid him last week? Yeah, last weekday.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, Charlie, you don't know what. He's here out front,
he's here. Yeah, so what do I kid?
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Well, let me go get him straighten this thing out,
all right.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And waited my way to Charlie.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
What wait, you're right, I'm right.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Was it last Tuesday?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, that's the tuesday that was last week, that's before.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
The one is about to come up.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
My mistake.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'm sorry forgive me.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
It was last week the week before that. I was
thinking of yeah, oh yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Honest, that's mean streets.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And then, of course, Robert Deniel went on to do
Godfather Part two, where he portrayed Vito Corleone, the Godfather
himself young Marlon Brando, and then he shut the.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Whole fucking shit down. Yo.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
He went from Mean Streets to The Godfather Part two
to a taxi driver. He could have retired, He could
have fucking retired. And then the Deer Hunter. This is this,
This is this seen when they're playing Russian Roulette after
(12:04):
being captured in Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Is so God damn.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It, it's gonna be all right, Nikki, go ahead, shoot
show nick.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Look you go. You're gonna die, you mother fuck You're
gonna die. God damn it.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The energy, the fucking real, the reality, the fear, the intensity,
everything is in his scene in the Deer Hunter. Fucking ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Again. This ship comes from his imagination. Let me tell
you something. This stuff isn't in the script.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
What Robert de Niro does, Robert de Niro takes the script,
takes all the ideas, takes all the thoughts of the
director and the writer and the script, and then puts
it into his imagination. One of the underrated words when
you're talking about acting is imagination.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's play.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And Robert de Niro has an incredible imagination Deer Hunter,
ridiculous performance. And then, of course, if I have to
take one, I go with Raging Bull.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
She really did some job on it. You know how
fucking nuts you are what she did to you?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
You fuck my wife?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
What you fuck my wife?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
How could you ask me a question? How could you
ask me?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I'm your brother?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You asked me that?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Where do you get your bulls big enough to ask
me that.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Just tell me my favorite of all, my favorite Robert
de Niro performances. We did an entire podcast dedicated to
Raging Bull. If you've never heard the Iron rapp Port
stereo podcast, Raging Bull Podcast, where we had Martin Scorsese,
John Teturo, the Real Jake Lamatta, Max Callum and Nick
(14:16):
to Turn. It's just a great fucking podcast. You should

Leonardo DiCaprio, a Bronxtown which he directed Casino.

You're in the finances, You're upstairs, but you are not
on the floor. You don't see what's going on. I've
got thousands of players. I got five hundred dealers.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
They're all looking to rob me.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Flying twenty four hours a day. I have to let
them know I'm watching all the details all the time,
that there is not one single thing I will not
catch as I am over here.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Heat Copland, which I had the honor, the fucking honor
of working with Robert De Niro and Copland Jackie Brown,

my favorite Samuel Jackson performance ever, and just so for
(16:00):
and so on, and meet the parents, Meet the fucking
parents when he started doing the comedy, and analyze this
and meet the fockers. I just Miles Jordan, play a
little bit of Robert de Niro. I was gonna do
the Robert de Niro line of the week. Give me
(16:21):
some Robert de Niro as himself. The Robert de Niro
Lines of the Week, performed by Robert de Niro.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You're talking to me, talking to me, But who the
hell so you're talking talking to me?
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Well, I'm the only one here.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't think about one shot that much anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Mike, you have to think about one shot.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
One shot is what it's all about. He has to
be taken with one shot.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I try to tell people that analyst.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Ay right, never went down man, ever gotten me down right,
never gotten down. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used
to say you can get further with a kind word
and a gun than you cant with just a kind word.
And in that neighborhood it might have been true. And
sometimes a reputation follows you. There is violence in Chicago,
of course, but not by me and not by anybody
(17:29):
I employ. And I tell you why, because it's not
good business.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
It's all bad.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
People forgotten what life is all about.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
They've forgotten what it is to be alive. They need
to be reminded.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
They need to be reminded about.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
What they have and what they can lose. And what
I feel is the joy of life, the gift of life,
the freedom of life, the wonderment of life.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
You took your first place like a man, and you
mean the two greatest things in.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Life, Well, look at me.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Never read on your friends and always keep your mind shut.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Okay, I told me one time, don't let yourself get
attached to anything you are not willing to walk out
on in thirty seconds flat. If you feel the heat
around the corner, now, if you're around me and you
got to move when I move, how to expect to
keep her a marriage? She left?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Miss she left? What he experiencing.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Let me tell you, I know you don't want to
listen to you.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
For all I don't listen to mine. And I'm telling
you you got to pay attention to science and life
reaches out at a moment like this. It's a sin if
you don't reach back. I'm telling it's a sin if
you don't reach back into the launch in.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
The rest of your days like a curse.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
You're facing a big.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Challenge in your life right now, at this very moment,
right here, that God loves you. If she wouldn't be
a love you and I don't know if Nick you
ever did, but you're sure as hell doesn't love you
right now.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I'm telling you, don't fuck this up.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Bob de Niro, thank you for everything you've done for us.
Thank you for pushing the medium foll you pushed, You
pushed what is even in the idea of what's capable
for us as actors. To do the fucking best, Bobby D.
One of my favorite performance is Silver Linings Playbook starring

Bradley Cooper Jennifer Lawrence. Beautiful, beautiful performance. He plays Bradley
Cooper's father, Just so vulnerable and so great. Robert Danio,
the great, Robert Danill eighty years old, eighty years of

(21:14):
Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Bad Boys. I mean he
started his fucking Spacolians Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Talk
about an imagination, that sort of.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You know, dude character. He brought that to the screen.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Morales? Love that dude, good dude man.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Sean Penn's another motherfucking beast man, a funking beast. I
love him as a director. Do you ever see Indian Runner.
Love that film he directed Into the Wild Carlito's Way
as a funking actor.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Kleinman.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Dead Man Walking directed by another beast of an actor.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I mean, that's a that's a very very very very
very very good film. Dead Man Walking directed by Tim
Robbins Milk.

One of my favorite performances that he ever did twenty
one Grams with Benisio del Toro, Sean Penn and Naomi
Wants that's ain't That is a fucking film right there.
I wouldn't call it a feel good film, but if
you've never seen twenty one Grams, that is a fucking.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Excellent, excellent, excellent film.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
And like I said, imagination, it's imagination, it's grit, it's determination,
it's creativity. I mean, shit, man, I'm not even tipping
the iceberg of all the things casualties of war. That
a state of grace. Jesus Christ. I fucking love Sean Penn.
We want more Sean Penn. We need more shorant.

And rip shout out to his brother. We lost so young.

was gone too soon, who I had the pleasure of
working with in true romance.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
And becoming friends with.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
So Happy birthday to both of those guys and sending love, love,
love thoughts. The Great Chris Penn Reservoir Dogs, so Forth
at Close Range, which of course starred Sean Penn, Christopher
Walken and Chris Penn.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Dope underrated, weird film.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Since we're going down the road of films in general
on acting, this conversation came up again. It is so stupid,
so ridiculous, such a waste of time, So much of
the stupid cancel culture frenzy, fucking social media shit storm
(24:35):
that gets attention that doesn't deserve any fucking attention. The
Great Bradley Cooper has a film coming out called Maestro.
It is a film that he directed where he plays
Leonard Bernstein. Now, most of you dumb funks that are
(24:56):
causing all this confusion trying to cancel this, that and
the third, all these idiots don't even know who Leonard
Bernstein is one of the great Jews of all time. Okay,
Leonard Bernstein, look them up, you fools, your dumb dumbs.
(25:17):
Leonard Bernstein's is a songwriter, a composer. He's written so much,
created so much music that most of us probably don't
even know that it was made by Leonard Bernstein. Miles Jordan,
play a little bit, Play a little bit of the
great Leonard Bernstein. Give me a little Rhapsody in blue.
(26:02):
That's Leonard Bernstein. Everybody knows that music. I learned of
Leonard Bernstein from my father. My father's a big classical
music buff, buff buff disco Dave loves classical music. But
Leonard Bernstein did the music for films. He's this and
(26:23):
he's Jewish, and he's a great jew Anyway, Leonard Bernstein.
There's a film that is coming out about the life
of Leonard Bernstein. Bradley Cooper, who is excellent, an excellent actor,
proven himself to be a great director also with The
(26:47):
Star is Born, and he is fucking star. Everybody loves
Bradley Cooper. He's a good looking guy. Ladies love cool Bradley.
Lll c be Ladies love cool Bradley. Anyway, he directed
this film that I believe I ain't saying when it's
(27:09):
coming out because we're not supposed to promote as sag strikers,
we're not supposed to promote. Nonetheless, this film's got enough
bad promotion on its own because of the controversy that
Bradley Cooper is getting because he is number one not Jewish.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
We've had this conversation before on the Iron Wrapper, before
It's stereo podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Bradley Cooper's not Jewish, duh, and he used a prosthetic nose,
which they're now saying they jewed him up. They gave
him jew face, they gave them jew nose. Now, let
me start this conversation by saying this. The idea that
only Jewish actors should play Jewish characters, whether they're real
(27:59):
or not real, obviously, Leonard Bernstein is real. The idea
that only real autistic actors should play autistic characters, the
idea that only trans actors should play trans characters, albeit
men or women, is so stupid, it's so fucking asinide.
(28:23):
It's so ridiculous. And the films that I just discussed
of just Robert de Niro and Sean Penn, if they
had to cast real characters, the real thing, the real
authentic item in any one of Robert de Niro's roles,
he wouldn't be Robert de Niro, You dumb, fuck you,
(28:47):
Robert DeNiro was in a He's Italian, but he wasn't
a real true blue gangster. When Robert Robert de Niros
played Jews, Robert de Niro has played boxers.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Like, at what point does it become stupid?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Real Jews should play Only Jewish actors should play Jewish characters.
Only autistic actors should play autistic characters. Only trans actors
should play trans characters. Dumb, fucking stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Sean Penn has played Jews.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Robert Daniro is playing characters from the South, but he's
all del Toro's Puerto Rican. He's played characters that are
in Puerto Rican. He's played Italians and so forth and
so on. The idea that you have to be Jewish
to play Jewish parts is stupid. The idea that you
have to be Italian to play Italian parts is stupid.
(29:49):
And it's been weaponized because it all started, you know,
on the mainstream because a few years ago, remember remember
Scarlett Johanson was going to do that film been Tug Rubb,
which I read that script, Rubin Tug.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It's based on this.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Character, this woman trans woman. Uh oh, let me get
it right. It was a woman who was a trans man.
Dante Gill actually read this script, ran a bunch of
massage pollors and and you know they.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Became fronts for prostitution.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Dens and Mascarlo Joans was gonna play it. And because
of social media, the pressure and the backlash that she
was getting before the film was even being shot, the
film never got made. And let me tell you something,
the film Rubin Tug will never get made because it
takes stars to make movies. You think anybody's you gonna
(30:46):
just give up their money for some Joe Schmoe to
star in a film called Rubin Tug about some you know,
some small independent film about some you know per that
nobody knows about called Dante Gill who's a trans man.
And the presser and the backlash from the trans community,
(31:09):
from the gay community, film didn't get made. So you
know what happens now, The film will never get made.
Mark my words, that film will never ever, ever, ever
ever get made. Daniel day Lewis is another one, played
Vincent van Go. Should the film have not getting gotten made?
(31:32):
Vince van Goo is Dutch? Daniel day Lewis isn't Was
it blasphemy that Vincent Vango played a Dutch character. You
fucking dumb dumbs, You dumb dumbs. Daniel da Lewis is English.
He's played Irish characters. You dummies, You fucking stupid dummies.
(31:55):
He was in the Last of the Mohegans. Also, he
was in the Age of Innocence. That's why it's called acting,
you fools. There's all this backlash about Bradley Cooper wearing prosthetics,
saying it's jewface.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
He was putting on.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The prosthetics to look like Leonard Bernstein, not to be
smudge Jews, who at times we do have prominent noses.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
And I love my fucking beak. I got a big
fucking jew beak. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
And if that's what Bradley Cooper needed to Bradley Cooper
don't have a jew beak. I have no problem with
him putting on a jew beak to portray Leonard Bernstein.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
It's called acting. It's and this is what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
And the people that are upset about it probably don't
know one thing about Leonard Bernstein, but they know a
lot about being upset. Get a fucking life, Get a
live Denzel Washington has done Shakespeare. Shakespeare wasn't written for
black people, you fools. The great al Pacino scarface, he
(33:09):
ain't Cuban. Al Pacino's not even fully Italian. He's part
Puerto Rican.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Actors act, actors, act and shooters shoot. Actors act and
shooters shoot.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Bradley Cooper need to put on that big jew nose
to play Leonard Burnston, because, like I said, some of
us do have big jew noses and they're beautiful. If
you do have a big jew nose, be proud of
that big fucking Jewish speaker of yours.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'm proud of mine.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
My father loves his chunky, big fucking big ashke Nazi
jew Nos.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I got fucking proud of it.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
The only thing that James Gandolfini had in common with
Tony Soprano was that they're Italian.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Other than that, they had nothing in common. Should they have.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Gotten a real Italian to play Tony Soprano, you fucking
dumb dumbs. So now this film is gonna have to
deal with all the the dumbness, the goofiness, the stupidness
of woke, the woke mob, the woke mobs that come
(34:19):
after every single thing and any thing, but I'm gonna
be watching it because Bradley Cooper is a dope actor.
Bradley Cooper has proved himself to be a dope filmmaker,
and I know he puts his blood and guts into
everything he does, hence the reason why he's so good.
And The Maestro is coming out on Netflix at some
(34:39):
point in the next few weeks, and I'll be checking
it out a week one. Not gonna say day one,
but I'll be checking it out definitely week one. Anyway,
