Dave and Matt welcome Patrick "Frank" Gallo to the pod.
Patrick has 1 son. Patrick claims he doesn't like to be recorded but that didn't stop him from not only barging in to say hello and also playing an incredible (almost unbelievable piano solo. Patrick is an actor, most recently seen in the Paramount+ mini-series, The Offer, where he played Mario Puzzo, author of The Godfather. Patrick has also appeared in The Irishman, The Deuce, and Boardwalk Empire (among many other credits). We had a great chat about how our kids achieve success without too much interference from their parents, the process of making The Offer, and more.
Dave (@dshalansky) and Matt (@realmattbrand) are on Instagram.
Thanks to Nice Guy Eddie (Dave, Robbie, and Chris) for the use of "That's Us" and to Nicholas Calhoun for the DadPod logo.
