Speaker 1 (00:00):
Walking man, it is hard to be so. Boots is out,
Robert Cooperman is in, I am in. And that's the
quietest I've ever heard you since you've been in.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I can hear quiet.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I think that was like exactly what you're in studio.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Right, That's true. That's very rarely.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Now the whole first half hour, you're like, listen, this
is such an important conversation.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You wanted to just sit back and take it all in.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That's right. I did. I was very interested in what
they had to say and very happy for the for
the outcome for the policeman. So I was. I was
happy to sit back and listen. I know your audience
was interested, and they were riveted to that, and now
they are equally riveted because anything, because anything I have
to say, because you're on the mic. That's right.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Have you been you ready for Thanksgiving? I'm ready with family.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Were you doing It's just going to be me and
my wife this year?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Just are you thankful for that?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'm very thankful for that.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Kidding you because I know you picked your wife sometimes
in jest.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
In jest, only in est in jest, yes, and sometimes
that a jest, but I uh no, it's just going
to be the two of us, a lovely day, nerve
together that we're making it home. Was to spend some
time together. And then next year she or we already
made our plans that she said, I don't want to
spend another Thanksgiving with you, just you. We're getting the
kids involved. So we have one child in California, one
(01:14):
child in Florida. That's Florida, folks, not Florida. And uh,
I think it's Florida, and you'll be wrong. It's it's Florida,
fla fl o r idea. You didn't know that, Sesame Street,
did you?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You say it? You're saying f l a Florida, Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That's the way it's pronounced. It's Florida. It's horrible. It's orange.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's not horrible. It's not orange. It's horrible, horrible, horrible.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Sounds like you're able to be a.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, yeah, I get where you're where I'm going. Robert
Cooperman knows all this.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
He knows how to pronounce an enunciate because theata is
his life is your career.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You started stage right Theatrix I did how many years ago.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's well in twenty twenty seven, it'll be ten years
since our first presentation. However, in January of twenty twenty six,
we are presenting our tenth annual Stage Right Theater Festival,
so it to be ten iterations of that theater festival,
and that is the most unique theater festival in the
country because we are presenting another point of view, folks.
(02:20):
We are presenting plays by writers who feel they are marginalized, ignored,
and ridiculed because of their traditional quote unquote conservative beliefs,
and they put those in their plays and that's what
we are celebrating. We're giving voice to people who feel
they are truly voiceless in the arts.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
When you look at the theater or if you look
at movies today or even on TV, how have things
changed from when you first started your company to now
as far as what we're seeing in what we're dealing, it's.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Gotten worse because the other side has doubled down on
wokeness and we have seen it become just a a
breeding ground for ideas that are detrimental to the uh
founding beliefs and philosophy of this country. So it's gotten worse.
It's gotten worse. And if you thought. Now, I know
(03:11):
a lot of people thought with the new administration coming
in federally, with the election of Donald Trump and the
swing of the country, people thought, well, you know what,
this may temper things a little bit, and maybe now
the other side will be more accepting because so many
people are shifting a little bit to the right culturally, politically.
And it turns out none of that happened. And I
(03:33):
will tell you, if I were a betting man, I
would have made a lot of money betting that the
other side would double down. And that's exactly what they do.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So if you were a betting man, you'd be rich.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I'd be rich by now that's right. I wouldn't have to.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Be giving the show.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now this is this I love. I wouldn't have to
be working.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
So you bring up a good point, Robert Copman of
Stage Right Theatrix.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Why do you think that is why I think they
double down? Because well, first of all, a lot of
it I think is Trump derangement syndrome. They are so
opposed to the man. No matter what he says, you
can cure cancer, he said to himself, he said, if
he said it at a state of a Union, I
think his first for the second term or whatever. He
addressed Congress. He said, if I found a cure for cancer,
(04:18):
you would tell me that it's not good. We shouldn't
cure cancer. And it's true. Right. You see the same
thing with the Epstein files, Right, release them, Trump, you
gotta release them. What are you hiding? Trump? Release them?
He says, Okay, let's release them. How dare you release them?
How dare what are you hiding? Trump?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
You know, really the Biden administration had the files.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh well, that's right. He did nothing with him. Listen
in here, I'm on fire quiet for a half an hour,
do you, sir, Chris.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He's sitting in boots his seat. I think he thinks
he's boots today.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I do think I'm boots today.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Go on, go on, take it away, buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah. No, uh, I got jokes, but I ain't going
to say no, no, no, no, no. I heard you gave
it the boots last time.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh but he deserves it.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
No, that's true.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Go ahead, you're on a tangent, Go for it.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I don't want to be a tangent. I want to
be focused. No. Uh, And I forgot what I was
going to say. It's where I was going there, but uh,
you know, it's it's just the thing is that if
Trump rangements, Oh so that's what. Number one, I think
they have Trump derangement syndrome. And I think that's number one.
And number two, I think they are really afraid of
(05:29):
giving up any of their power. Well, let's face it.
Who listen here, Let's face it. I got all the
all the phrases here, you have, I pronounced that. Yeah,
I had Actra decaff this morning. Yeah. Who who really
owns the arts in this country? Right? It's not the
people on on on my side of the aisle, right,
(05:50):
it's and then forget politics, it's not the people who
believe the things that I do and the vast majority
of Americans do. It's this this group of people who's
ideas are Marxists in foundation, people who want to destroy
the basic tenants of this country, the institutions of this country,
the family of this country. They want to make it
(06:11):
into some kind of this dystopian utopia where anything goes,
there are no standards. Uh, you know, whatever you want
to do, you can do. It doesn't matter. And we
don't believe in that.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
So how did that power of being how did they
get to this point. How did it get to this
point when I don't think that the majority of Americans
do feel that way. I think the majority of us
do believe in family, and we do have more agree
and we do have standards.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I agree, And you can't go.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Out there and do and say everything in anything that
you want. There are guidelines that we need to follow.
But I think the squeaky wheel.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Saying squeaky wheel gets the earl that same right? You know,
I was going to say, earl and yes, oil folks, earl,
stay tuned for the Robert Cooperman English show. What we
will teach me? Yeah, No, I do know what you mean.
Part of the problem, in my hum always to be
humble opinion, is that traditional and conservative people tend to
not fight back. Why it's not in our nature. We
(07:11):
don't think it's worth the time. We don't think it
is a valuable use of time. And I am saying
not only here but in uh I write for the
Epic Times, I will say it on my podcast. We
must fight back because that's how the left took control
is they just keep forwarding their own arguments out there
and they get academia to agree with it, and they
(07:32):
get the media to agree with it pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And they didn't they have the money.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh, they definitely have the money, because we don't. The
power comes there. But I think also the influence that
they have that has indoctrinated young people who then grow
up to be older, richer people who have the money
to invest in these things. So the thing is that
we on the conservative side of the ledger, we need
to be more forceful in not only saying we don't
(08:01):
like this. Right, if we see a movie, a television show,
a theater piece, we say we don't like it, but
then we don't show up number one, but number two,
we don't offer an alternative. And what I'm doing is
offering an alternative.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's why you need to invest.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
If you have any extra money around your home, invest
in stage right now.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's right. I'm gonna be like Soupy Sales who said,
now go everybody, go into your parents' wallets and take
out those little green pieces of paper with old presidents
on them and send them to me.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
That's like the new mayor of New York, Mom Donald Oh,
he went out and said he's going to do all
this stuff. That's basically impossible to do correct without funding
or without common sense in a way. And then he
gets elected and he is asking people, I will take
your donations right now.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I'll tell you, well, you know, look, it's what Margaret
Thatcher said. You remember the famous quote by Margaret Thatcher
what I certainly am. She said socialism.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You know, take a prosocialist.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Listen to her. The problem with socialism is that eventually
you run out of other people's money. Yeah, you know,
so that's it.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh do you guys see why this is so entertaining
with Robert Cooperman and he is on a roll.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I'm on a roll. It's a it's an onion roll
with a little cream. Gees. That's good. I'm from New York.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
We'll be right back with more of Robert Cooperman. You're
listening to Raw on six ten of You TV and
always protected by the Undefeated Tattletale.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You're a monster.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You know. They were starting to play I'm talking about
different radio stations Christmas music.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
As soon as Halloween was Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, they play it. They start setting up
for in July and Kroger. So it's it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It is, and it seems to get earlier and earlier
every single year, but.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Eventually it'll catch up and start in November.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So what's going on at stays right theatrics.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
We are getting ready for our next festival, our tenth
annual festival. We're very excited about that.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Are you bringing in any big names.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
From Oh, some big long names. They have a lot
of letters names. No. I mean we work with local,
local folks and that's what makes it wonderful. But the
playwrights whose plays we are putting on from all over
the country. So you know, you get submissions from all
over the country, and we picked four wonderful plays from
all over the country. And so that will be Jill,
(10:20):
what month is this? That will be January thirtieth and
thirty first and February first at the Abbey Theater of Dublin.
I'll be on again and we'll talk about it and
we can give away some tickets in the future. But
that's what it's going to be, January thirtieth and thirty
first in February first.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
If you have a son or daughter who's maybe in
high school theater, that would be really good stocking stuff
for a Christmas gift. So let people know where they
can go to get more information on that.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
More information would be at my website stage rt dot org.
Stage rt dot org.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
What is your favorite play of all time?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I'm not saying that you would write it or be
in just to watch, Like what's your favorite go to play?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So watch? You know, probably boring answer, but probably streat
Cunnamed Desire by Tennessee Williams. And we'll be featuring Tennessee
Williams in twenty twenty six in our program called Before
They Were God. So yeah, I would say, that's just
that's a play I can pick up anywhere in the play.
A movie I could pick up anywhere in the movie.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Were you ever in it?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah? I played Stanley Kowalski. Yeah, actually I look more
like Blanche to Bough. But no I did not. I
was not It could never be in it.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Doctor Cohen is coming in in the next hour, right,
and he brought a friend and colleague and he thought
you were Boots.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I know, I know. That was the biggest insult I've
had in many, many a year to be called Boots.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Now you kind of look like Boots in a.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Very bizarre If I let my goatee grow out a
little bit, more. I think i'd have to lose a
little hair. I actually have more hair than Boots.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You do, well, everybody has more hair than boots.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I guess so. But yeah, so so.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I saw a play the other night in Broadway Series.
It was called some Like It Hot. Oh, and you
think I loved it?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I didn't know what to think. You know, I really
seen the movie. I had not seen.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
The movie was Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
What a fun what a fun production.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I'm glad you go to somebody's place.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I have been to. You know.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's true. That's true. I have that's true. But folks,
it's like dental work, getting pulling teeth. But go ahead.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
We are very busy, yes I know, but I always
made time and we've been there. No I agreetball games?
Did you go to support my daughter?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I've been to. I've been to many. You just didn't
see me there because I didn't want people to come
right back as I didn't want people to come running
over to It's Robert Cooberman from Raw and to take
the focus away from.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Camming, and they would have it would have been like
you would have.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Just that's right, would have autographs and things right, and
you would have felt bad.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
So, so what are you looking forward to? It's kind
of weird.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
This is like the end of November as we're gearing
about towards.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You're Jewish, I am, So what do you look forward to?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm becoming Catholic?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
No, I mean like, you got Honkkah.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Right, Hankah? And this year Honkah is on Christmas Day.
It starts on the twenty fifth. Oh yeah. It depends
on the Hebrew calendar, which is a lunar calendar, which
means it moves all throughout the month. It can start
early December, late December.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Do you ever feel slighted because there is so much
for focus on Christmas as a.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Matter of fact, and all the TV shows.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
First of all, I love it all. I love it all.
We love listening to the Christmas music. I love going
to see the Christmas lights, even just in the neighborhood.
So no, none of that, And I don't feel slighted
because I actually am not a huge fan of the
fact that the Honkah has become the Jewish Christmas. You know,
it's a totally different holiday with totally different origins. And
(13:44):
I think, you know, Jewish people should celebrate that in
the way it's meant to be celebrated and not become
just another Christmas. And I have nothing against Christmas.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
A good friend of mine, David Meckler, he's Jewish and
he sends us Christmas cards every year, okay, and then
really good friends of ours as well.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Scotty asked, who has a Deli married Gina Volpie and
she was big time Catholic, right, and he was big
time Jewish.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So they called their kids divorce cashoes.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh that's excellent.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
And they would send them cashoes bless you, and they
would send out uh huh or happy Christmas cards. But
you know what, you can find a way to make it.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Work, absolutely absolutely, So why.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Can't Republicans and Democrats find a way to make Oh
they do find a way to make it work in
so many cases. And well, yeah, you just had the
meeting between Trump and the new counting right.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Right, right, we had the meeting between Trump and the
Communist Yes.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Would you stop it?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Give people one more time where they can get a
hold of you or get more information on your festival,
your tenth year.
Speaker 2 (14:50):

Now the whole first half hour, you're like, listen, this
is such an important conversation.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You wanted to just sit back and take it all in.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That's right. I did. I was very interested in what
they had to say and very happy for the for
the outcome for the policeman. So I was. I was
happy to sit back and listen. I know your audience

Kidding you because I know you picked your wife sometimes

I think it's Florida, and you'll be wrong. It's it's Florida,
fla fl o r idea. You didn't know that, Sesame Street,
did you?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You say it? You're saying f l a Florida, Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That's the way it's pronounced. It's Florida. It's horrible. It's orange.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's not horrible. It's not orange. It's horrible, horrible, horrible.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Sounds like you're able to be a.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, yeah, I get where you're where I'm going. Robert
Cooperman knows all this.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
He knows how to pronounce an enunciate because theata is
his life is your career.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You started stage right Theatrix I did how many years ago.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's well in twenty twenty seven, it'll be ten years

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Be giving the show.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now this is this I love. I wouldn't have to
be working.
Speaker 3 (03:54):

do you, sir, Chris.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He's sitting in boots his seat. I think he thinks
he's boots today.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I do think I'm boots today.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Go on, go on, take it away, buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah. No, uh, I got jokes, but I ain't going
to say no, no, no, no, no. I heard you gave
it the boots last time.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh but he deserves it.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
No, that's true.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Go ahead, you're on a tangent, Go for it.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I don't want to be a tangent. I want to
be focused. No. Uh, And I forgot what I was
going to say. It's where I was going there, but uh,
you know, it's it's just the thing is that if
Trump rangements, Oh so that's what. Number one, I think
they have Trump derangement syndrome. And I think that's number one.
And number two, I think they are really afraid of
(05:29):
giving up any of their power. Well, let's face it.
Who listen here, Let's face it. I got all the
all the phrases here, you have, I pronounced that. Yeah,
I had Actra decaff this morning. Yeah. Who who really
owns the arts in this country? Right? It's not the
people on on on my side of the aisle, right,
(05:50):
it's and then forget politics, it's not the people who
believe the things that I do and the vast majority
of Americans do. It's this this group of people who's
ideas are Marxists in foundation, people who want to destroy
the basic tenants of this country, the institutions of this country,
the family of this country. They want to make it
(06:11):
into some kind of this dystopian utopia where anything goes,
there are no standards. Uh, you know, whatever you want
to do, you can do. It doesn't matter. And we
don't believe in that.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
So how did that power of being how did they
get to this point. How did it get to this
point when I don't think that the majority of Americans
do feel that way. I think the majority of us
do believe in family, and we do have more agree
and we do have standards.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I agree, And you can't go.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Out there and do and say everything in anything that
you want. There are guidelines that we need to follow.
But I think the squeaky wheel.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Saying squeaky wheel gets the earl that same right? You know,
I was going to say, earl and yes, oil folks, earl,
stay tuned for the Robert Cooperman English show. What we
will teach me? Yeah, No, I do know what you mean.
Part of the problem, in my hum always to be
humble opinion, is that traditional and conservative people tend to
not fight back. Why it's not in our nature. We
(07:11):
don't think it's worth the time. We don't think it
is a valuable use of time. And I am saying
not only here but in uh I write for the
Epic Times, I will say it on my podcast. We
must fight back because that's how the left took control
is they just keep forwarding their own arguments out there
and they get academia to agree with it, and they
(07:32):
get the media to agree with it pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And they didn't they have the money.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh, they definitely have the money, because we don't. The
power comes there. But I think also the influence that
they have that has indoctrinated young people who then grow
up to be older, richer people who have the money
to invest in these things. So the thing is that
we on the conservative side of the ledger, we need
to be more forceful in not only saying we don't
(08:01):
like this. Right, if we see a movie, a television show,
a theater piece, we say we don't like it, but
then we don't show up number one, but number two,
we don't offer an alternative. And what I'm doing is
offering an alternative.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's why you need to invest.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
If you have any extra money around your home, invest
in stage right now.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's right. I'm gonna be like Soupy Sales who said,
now go everybody, go into your parents' wallets and take
out those little green pieces of paper with old presidents
on them and send them to me.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
That's like the new mayor of New York, Mom Donald Oh,
he went out and said he's going to do all
this stuff. That's basically impossible to do correct without funding
or without common sense in a way. And then he
gets elected and he is asking people, I will take
your donations right now.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I'll tell you, well, you know, look, it's what Margaret
Thatcher said. You remember the famous quote by Margaret Thatcher
what I certainly am. She said socialism.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You know, take a prosocialist.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Listen to her. The problem with socialism is that eventually
you run out of other people's money. Yeah, you know,
so that's it.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh do you guys see why this is so entertaining
with Robert Cooperman and he is on a roll.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I'm on a roll. It's a it's an onion roll
with a little cream. Gees. That's good. I'm from New York.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
We'll be right back with more of Robert Cooperman. You're
listening to Raw on six ten of You TV and
always protected by the Undefeated Tattletale.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You're a monster.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You know. They were starting to play I'm talking about
different radio stations Christmas music.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
As soon as Halloween was Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, they play it. They start setting up
for in July and Kroger. So it's it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It is, and it seems to get earlier and earlier
every single year, but.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Eventually it'll catch up and start in November.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So what's going on at stays right theatrics.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
We are getting ready for our next festival, our tenth
annual festival. We're very excited about that.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Are you bringing in any big names.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
From Oh, some big long names. They have a lot
of letters names. No. I mean we work with local,
local folks and that's what makes it wonderful. But the
playwrights whose plays we are putting on from all over
the country. So you know, you get submissions from all
over the country, and we picked four wonderful plays from
all over the country. And so that will be Jill,
(10:20):
what month is this? That will be January thirtieth and
thirty first and February first at the Abbey Theater of Dublin.
I'll be on again and we'll talk about it and
we can give away some tickets in the future. But
that's what it's going to be, January thirtieth and thirty
first in February first.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
If you have a son or daughter who's maybe in
high school theater, that would be really good stocking stuff
for a Christmas gift. So let people know where they
can go to get more information on that.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
More information would be at my website stage rt dot org.
Stage rt dot org.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
What is your favorite play of all time?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I'm not saying that you would write it or be
in just to watch, Like what's your favorite go to play?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So watch? You know, probably boring answer, but probably streat
Cunnamed Desire by Tennessee Williams. And we'll be featuring Tennessee
Williams in twenty twenty six in our program called Before
They Were God. So yeah, I would say, that's just
that's a play I can pick up anywhere in the play.
A movie I could pick up anywhere in the movie.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Were you ever in it?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah? I played Stanley Kowalski. Yeah, actually I look more
like Blanche to Bough. But no I did not. I
was not It could never be in it.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Doctor Cohen is coming in in the next hour, right,
and he brought a friend and colleague and he thought
you were Boots.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I know, I know. That was the biggest insult I've
had in many, many a year to be called Boots.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Now you kind of look like Boots in a.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Very bizarre If I let my goatee grow out a
little bit, more. I think i'd have to lose a
little hair. I actually have more hair than Boots.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You do, well, everybody has more hair than boots.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I guess so. But yeah, so so.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I saw a play the other night in Broadway Series.
It was called some Like It Hot. Oh, and you
think I loved it?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I didn't know what to think. You know, I really
seen the movie. I had not seen.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
The movie was Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
What a fun what a fun production.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I'm glad you go to somebody's place.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I have been to. You know.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's true. That's true. I have that's true. But folks,
it's like dental work, getting pulling teeth. But go ahead.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
We are very busy, yes I know, but I always
made time and we've been there. No I agreetball games?
Did you go to support my daughter?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I've been to. I've been to many. You just didn't
see me there because I didn't want people to come
right back as I didn't want people to come running
over to It's Robert Cooberman from Raw and to take
the focus away from.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Camming, and they would have it would have been like
you would have.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Just that's right, would have autographs and things right, and
you would have felt bad.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
So, so what are you looking forward to? It's kind
of weird.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
This is like the end of November as we're gearing
about towards.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You're Jewish, I am, So what do you look forward to?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm becoming Catholic?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
No, I mean like, you got Honkkah.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Right, Hankah? And this year Honkah is on Christmas Day.
It starts on the twenty fifth. Oh yeah. It depends
on the Hebrew calendar, which is a lunar calendar, which
means it moves all throughout the month. It can start
early December, late December.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Do you ever feel slighted because there is so much
for focus on Christmas as a.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Matter of fact, and all the TV shows.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
First of all, I love it all. I love it all.
We love listening to the Christmas music. I love going
to see the Christmas lights, even just in the neighborhood.
So no, none of that, And I don't feel slighted
because I actually am not a huge fan of the
fact that the Honkah has become the Jewish Christmas. You know,
it's a totally different holiday with totally different origins. And
(13:44):
I think, you know, Jewish people should celebrate that in
the way it's meant to be celebrated and not become
just another Christmas. And I have nothing against Christmas.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
A good friend of mine, David Meckler, he's Jewish and
he sends us Christmas cards every year, okay, and then
really good friends of ours as well.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Scotty asked, who has a Deli married Gina Volpie and
she was big time Catholic, right, and he was big
time Jewish.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So they called their kids divorce cashoes.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh that's excellent.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
And they would send them cashoes bless you, and they
would send out uh huh or happy Christmas cards. But
you know what, you can find a way to make it.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Work, absolutely absolutely, So why.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Can't Republicans and Democrats find a way to make Oh
they do find a way to make it work in
so many cases. And well, yeah, you just had the
meeting between Trump and the new counting right.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Right, right, we had the meeting between Trump and the
Communist Yes.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Would you stop it?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Give people one more time where they can get a
hold of you or get more information on your festival,
your tenth year.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And my company learn about it, stage rt dot org,
stage rt dot.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Org, stage right, theatrics, all right, Robert Cooper man, it
is always fun to have you in.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Have a great Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Thank to you, thank you, and all to your listeners.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Our number two is coming up next with the Doctor.
Cowen and company were back in a moment always protected
by tattletale.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's undefeated, it's the best.
