No , I'm in LA frank is in New York and I'm right here yes . And this is still Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast and I think it's still carrybuys . Anyway, our guest this week is almost as well known for his onscreen antics as he is for his off screen ones. He's an act or and musician who's been in one hundred and fifty movies , including a star is born and lethal weapon , point break , the firm fear and loathing in Las Vegas and of course the buddy Holly Story for which he was nominated for an academy award ong his very strange journey, he's worked with icons like Clint Eastwood , Gene Hackman, Jeff Bridges, David Lynch, Sidney Pollock, Tom Cruise , Tony Curtis, Robert Duval, Dustin Hoffman , and Barbara Streisand , please welcome the man who manages to make me seem grounded and normal . My friend Gary Busy . Yay . Hey , thanks for the introduction there. I'm very happy to be with you right here by the Capitol Regers Tower and the wicked play going on over there. And it's just great to be with you, Gilbert. I respect you. I have a great honor honor to be with you doing this stuff and you incite me and motivate me and inspire me to do things that will feel like somebody just pulled the rug out from under ready. They're ready to fall . Well, you're scaring me already, Gar. Is that is that you laughing, Frank? That's me, Gar. That's sounding like that sounded like a young girl who lost her child wig Small child's wigs are hard to lose. I have no comeback to that. No, the first time I saw Gilbert was in a movie called Beverly Hills Cop and Eddie wanted to do the same with Gilbert. And when the scene was over, I said, Who is that guy ? I'd never seen Gilbert before. And I went, Oh my God , what happened ? What happened to the director of the screenplay? And everything was on the money and knocked me out and I'm very happy to be here today working with you . And we have an idea we're working on for later talking that I'm very happy about . Yeah, that was Beverly Hills Cop two . Yeah . Yeah. Yeah . Could you have trouble hearing the word cut? Now let's talk about your most famous part and that was the Gary the Gary Beause story. That was the buddy Holly story. You know, I had people come up to me after the movie and said, were You great in the Gary Busie story. And I said, No, no, no, this buddy . That's funny. And one guy had tears in his eyes in New York City when we showed it there . And I went up to shake his hand and he said, Get away from me, get away from me. You spoke me. You spook me. You had Buddy with you. And I said, Well, thank you very much. And months later, after the movie was finished , I realized that I did channel Buddy Holly's spirit in my voice . And my whole posture changed when the movie was over . I felt smaller , I felt like I'm back to Earth that movie took me someplace that project took me someplace that I hadn't been before . And I'm not talking about Star Trek. I'm talking about heavenly spiritual connection with Charles Hard and Ollie, AK A Buddy. Oh , how did the part first come into your life The people who Jorge Selznick, God bless her . George Selznick in a way discovered me and said she wanted to take me in and see the Buddy Holly people. I said, You can't make a movie about Buddy Holly. Nobody can sing like him . And I told her a reminder, I was in a movie about Buddy Holly story called Not Fade Away about the crickets and Buddy Holly three years ago , but they didn't have the rights to merchandise Holly's name in Garmer's movies . So then the guys came to wn for Philadelphia and never made a movie and then cast me as Holly. And I said, You guys , every story they told me about Buddy Holly, I changed because I knew the truth. Then they took me down to the Village Record ers and I sang two songs reigning in my heart and heart break why do you kiss when my baby Todd Tizmy. Got the gig . Went and did it. Every shot was one take. It was a magical spiritual connection with Buddy. And you sang you did all the singing yourself in that movie. I did all the singing myself and playing the guitar . Yeah, I was live and in cover. I was going to say Gary, there were so many great actors in that film that ensemble was Charles Martin Smith, Don Stra ud, and your old friend Gaylor Sartain playing the big bopper But what you don't understand great company. What you don't understand, Frank, it was not great company . Really ? It was cast it was cast away from the authenticity of the drummer , JI Allison and the bass player, Joe B. Malden and so therefore it didn't work in that way and the authenticity of it because I know all those guys I know I never knew Buddy but I know him now very well because of the movie and Jay Allison, Joe B. Maud and Sonny Curtis . People who knew Buddy back then and were writing songs with him and playing music with him . So I was on my own there, but I wasn't running because I had Buddy inside me and in my spirit You were nominated for an academy award, opposite to Niro and John Voyd and Sir Lawrence Olivier and Warren Baty. Tell us what John Voyd said to you on Oscar Night. I found that kind of touching. John Voyage said, Gary, listen, you know what? If we all traded parts, all five of us , none of us could do buddy Holly , like you did. And I said, Thank you . And then John won the award. And I said, John , I winked at him and said, Congratulations. Well, you were, I guess, the first time or one of the times , you were in a very serious motorcycle. And you weren't wearing a helmet. No, I wasn't. I wasn't. I went around the corner at Washington Robertson right across the street from Bartels' motorcycle shop and I hit some dirt and spun and started fish tailing and I hit the rear brake and the front brake and it flipped me over and hit my head on the cur b and split my skull open from the ear to the top of the crown and knocked a hole of my skull about the size of a fifty cent piece and they took bones out of my pelvis to replace the hole in my head and my pelvis has a double compound fracture scar . But I'm living and walking and I had to start all over at Daniel Freeman Theater learning, how to walk , talk, eat, dress have a memory . I just started from nothing . I started from my source, my life and went forward to become more so now than I was before the accident because my brain has been altered . It hadn't been damaged . I see life in a very, very different way than I did before that accident , that blessing and that shrimp . It's really amazing what life can give you . It's really amazing. You just gotta pay attention and it's okay to be nuts . It's okay to be nuts. And when you first walked in, you gave me a plaque. I gave Gilbert a plaque that has the word nuts on it . And nuts stands for using the letters to spell the word nuts , never underest imate the spirit . When you are feeling the grace of the spirit, it's okay to be nuts for you, sir. So thank you. I'm going to put this up in my house now and that's a great lesson . Now so you had to relearn everything like an infant? Yeah after the accident. Yeah , and it was really enlighten ing experience . And you had to learn how to eat again. Yeah . I would eat a lot of times with forks that had I would eat without utensils , but I could feel the food going in me. This is the power of your mind . And then I would say I would take green beans, I'd for them and stick them up under my lip so I'd have a snack later . And then I ate I ate as good as I could, but I needed help. You need help with everything you do for your coordination, you' preosturizing , you're talking , even you know, from the waist down, you have a you have a set of plumbing in your body . Well, you have to work to do that. did you have to be potty trained again? Potty trained? Yeah, I don't remember, but maybe so . That's when you could have video . Yeah . No . No , and you but you experienced dead, huh? You experienced death at that point ? Well, I left my body and went to the other side. I died after brain surgery . I mean, my body kept quit working. So I found myself in the spiritual realm in the supernatur al surrounded by angels . Looked like just about as big as a volleyball breathing gold lights and magenta and Aberm , and three of the lights came right in front of my essence and the one light on the left spoke to me and thought an Androgynous voice and told me what I was doing was good, but what I the responsibility that was coming to me. I had to look for help in the spiritual realm . And said you can come now or turn to your body, it's your choice . And once when you're on the other side and you hear the truth .'s where That you are. There's no thanking over there . No thanking. You said in an interview that you said in an interview you had forgotten that whole experience had a what? You had forgotten the whole experience in the other world and then you saw ghost . Yeah, that's right. I had a friend of mine, Joan Kulpepp,er rest in peace, Jo hn. She said, Go see this movie ghost . And I said, Why? She said, You'll have an essence come from your subconscious to your conscious and you realize you're not in a dream . Oh, okay. So I went and when I saw the balls of light around Patrick , that's when the weeping started from down deep . And when the movie's over , the credits roll, the lights come on, the audience leaves, my friend said , Are you okay ? And I looked at my friend and said, I've been there. I've been to the other side . And it was , boy, it's a beautiful experience , beautiful experience that gives me the power to motivate and inspire other people with looking with love from my eyes to others and considering their feelings first . Even Frank . Yes . See, I got that sorry Sherry . I got that same feeling when I saw Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. You what, you touched Solomon in the gentle ? What did you do, Solomon ? He says Solomon and the Gentlers . What is a general? Gary, I was told you had some anecdotes about hosting Saturday Night Live in nineteen seventy eight and spending time with the original cast and Belucia in particular. It was seventy nine and I don't I don't even know what an antidote is. It's out of medicine. You put in your butt to keep it from farting. That's an antidote, yeah. Now that was like the wild time when that show . And Beluci was there. He was a crazy man. Belushi, yeah, when I was having the first meeting with the nineteen writers and Horn Michaels . Blue she called from LA and all the riders went, No, no . And Blue she said, tell all the riders I want to be in every skit with you. Everyone . I said, Okay, that's fine. The riders all go but it worked, it worked, it was the best it could be. My favorite skit we did was women's problems . Oh sure. Where we talked about Dan Ackroyd was the host , then it was Murray, Bill Murray, Garrett Morris and me . And they dan said, What parts of a woman body do you like the most? And Murray said, Breast, put me down for breast . And what about you, Wally? That was me. Breasts, humongous breasts. And what about you, Mike? And that was Garrett. I like a woman with a big butt, something I can hang on to and hit with a car antenna. I remember it well . That episode also had the great sunny Daisy in the fireworks . There was one line when they asked you who was Who was the ideal woman for all of you? Oh, I said Wonder Woman. I said Wonder Woman is six foot four . But I remember when you say you were talking about all of you would love big breasts . Garrett Mars loved a big butt . And then they said, Who's the ideal woman? And all of you said, Adrian Barbo . No, I didn't say that . I said Wonder Woman. Oh yeah , Wonder Woman. Yeah, she's six foot four . When I said that, Lauren said, Oh my God, I couldn't stop laughing because we were all . No. I was still say in that that episode, was the episode where you played with Rick Danko and Paul Butterfield. Yeah, that's the tour we put together and should have filmed it, but we didn't. And Rick and Paul are now gone to the gone to musical heaven , but that was an incredible journey with Rig Denco who played bass with the band. Sure. And Paul Butterfield who is a harmonica player like no other. And now you have a thing, a book called Busie . Yes . Busiasms . That's where I learned to do this several years ago . I was dealing in the past and writing in a journal. It's all the things I did wrong how, I was betrayed . And I said, What are you doing this for? This is in the past . Where are you? I'm in the now . So the first Businessism was the word now . NOW stands for no other way and I have it's a big thick book and it's going to be out. It's I don't know Stephanie's gone so I don't know where you can you can call in out when Stephanie get abus ed from my home like you have there in nuts. Yeah. Do you know where we go Garybusy dot com and click on Bucciasma. Thank you very much, Dar . And now like one of them is fart . One of them is fart . That's a b odily function you can't deny, buddy. Yeah. So you need to understand that FRFART stands for feeling a rectal transmission . It's free. It's easy. It comes with a dinner. You were given that fart tube because to get the gas out of your lovely little body . This podcast has never been so educational Let me ask you about your musical background and the rubber band and I'm interested in I think our listeners would be interested in how you made the transition from music to acting. They're both the same thing. They're just different instruments. Acting is the instrument with my body. Music is an instrument like the drums I play and the guitar I play . And they're both music though in my feeling of truth is the highest art form of them all music is Tell us a little bit about the rubber band and how you guys made your way out to L. A. Well, I was transferred to Oklahoma State University in Oklahoma when I hurt my knee playing football, so I lost my athletic scholarship and I took a drama, drama , drama scholarship to OSU . And I was pledging Sigma Kai so I went in their house . They had a piano player, a bass player, or a guitar player . And I was just learning to play the drums self taught . So we formed a band ended being the best band on the campus and then we went to Californ and made a deal with Epic Records. And that's when the name of the band was Carp, CARP, which is horrible name . And then we broke up when I started acting because I had to I had to leave the band to go do the stuff on the set . And it was just an automatic just a natural segue . I see. Now talked about taking dramas. Oh, wait a minute, one other thing I must say the music that I played and still play gave me the inspiration and the knowledge of free openness to do the buddy Holly story Did you play drums with Leon Russell and Willie Nelson and Chris Christopher? Do I have that right? Yeah, you do. And I wanted to ask you, you said you took drama lessons and you always hear stories about how actors prepare for a role . Well, I never prepared for nothing because I think acting is the absence of acting. I think it's believing the truth of the moment you're creating . You know, the back damn the old days they were too excited . In film you have a lovely mic and a mic here. You talk like that . Honey listen to me . I want to reach your ears with the softness of my whisper . Whoo, that brings the audience very close into the heart of the players on the screen. If you were hired to do the Gilbert Gottfried story, how would you prepare ? Oh dear . I would have to study your childhood , you know, your authentic childhood and having an interview with your parents and also your beautiful significant other and people you work ed with . And I would get that all in a line. Of course, we're not the same size. We don't have the same color of fair , same color faces, yeah. But so what's in a color? I don't see the color of someone. I see the heart of someone . And that's a beautiful thing to go on for you. I would see your heart . And I would see your emphatic nature to be just obnoxious . You're so good at obnoxiousism I mean slavery apprentice talking to the executives and if you try to do that I'll give it a can't do it. I can't even keep onwhere . Okay . This is uncanny. Wow . Okay, I want to ask you, smart man. Okay , of minimum intelligence . You've got me figured out. Yeah, I know it's easy. Yeah. Where did the word uncanny come from? I don't know. You're supposed to know. Well, I don't. Well, if you don't make it up, give me a game . It means cans were invented , everything , all these green beans and things like that were uncanny . It means they cuz they couldn't be put in cans . You sound like you're on the old Liars Club with Jack Barris on the Liars Club Maybe enough definition. Am I correct, Gary? Your poet? Am I correct? No, yes. No, no . So County has nothing to do with being in a can or not. Well that would be a homosex reference. Homosexual reference would be riding the ferris wheel backwards of the underwear down . So if you don't indulge in anal sex , you're uncanny. Anal sex? Yes . What does a can have to do with a rectum? I would think of like , you know what? Can has been used for both breast and asses. Sometimes you see a girl, she has nice cans or look at that big round can What is a round ten? Harass , Gary. Well, I'll miss you round ten and we'll figure this out. What does uncanny mean, Gary? Uncanny means something that can't be understood by the way it's said . Really interesting. You can't understand the definition of what it truly is because you're missing the fabric of its core and that's uncanny . Now you told me the definition of relationship . Yes and Yubusiism. Yes . Could you repeat that? Yes. R E L I T I O N SHIP stands for really exciting love affair turns into overwhelming nightmare sobriety Exit per il On the other hand, let's look at romance R O M A NC E lying on magnificent and necessary compatible energy . That's it's impressive that you memorize all of these Gary. I don't know fingerprints. I travel with Q cards. There's five hundred of them in here now. I see. Can I ask something about I saw an interview with and you were talking with you and you were talking about how you create a backstory for every character you play Life like Mr. Joshua So you do prepare No, I don't prepare . I don't prepare at all. Mr. Joshua, the antagonist in Lethal Weapon, yeah . Lethal weapon. I remember I'm not having a senior moment like Gilbert Okay . Okay, mister Joshua, here's his backstory . He would walk through his grandmother's blood to get a poster stamp and never look at her . That's the epitome of the definition of being cold in your heart and your eyes. Do you do that with every character you play? I do that with everyone I meet, buddy. So you fucking lied to me and said you don't prepare . That's not preparation. Yeah, okay. That's not preparation. That's giving me the backbone of mister Joshua's emotional failure. Okay . Could you give us the backbone of some of your other characters like an under siege . You are this psycho who is gonna well, that was great. John Lawton saw the other night had a greeting called Whiplash that you almost see And he wrote a scene for me when Andy Davis, the director gave me a book about the USS Missouri going to combat zone . When they cross Equator, all the first year sailors have to do horrendous things , and there's an executive officer that dresses up like a woman, and he's called Queen of the Wags . Wags W GS which is short for polywag . At the end of that day, all the first year sailors ready for combat are graduated into a shell back , which is they have the right mental armor on them to face the enemy. And I told Andy, I said, Well, I got an idea for the book. He said, Yeah, what is it? I'm going to kill the captain and drag . Why? Well, because crew doesn't like me . I'm going to send her the fosscal and that's the deal. I said, Okay, so I did it. And I'm sitting there at the desk with a forty four double D stuffed bra on the desk and my pantyhose round my head and the makeup on that I put on myself . I said Strat Tommy Lee Jones' character was Strannix Strannicks look what I'm going through . Nobody likes Commander Krill . He needs to go to the hospital . Something's wrong with him in a mental way . We've got to take care of this guy. We got to take care of this officer. I And'll look ated Todd and said, Do I look like I need psychological evaluation ? And he said, not at all. Boom, and we're out . And the way I look saying that , this I belong in the padded room on the lower story of the mental institution the way I looked . And I bet you saw me like that and wouldn't have mind going out with me . Maybe not. So it's kind of like when they criticize an actor and they say you could see the wheels turning . I'll give you an example. Kirk Douglas was sitting with Lawrence Olivier and Kirk said , Lawrence, I got this review. This is a bad review. Look what is saying about me. Look what it's saying about me, look what he's doing. This is horrible horrible review . And Olivier said , My son , you must learn to get over the good reviews as fast as you can get over the bad reviews , they're meaningless . Yay . Now Laurence Livy, folks . Here's one you would know What is the meaning of life ? You talking about Monty Python? No, do you have any you talking about me and mister Creuso? mis ode. Yeah, he threw up until he bombed everybody in the restaurant with his vomit. But what? That's a big eater. What's your feeling about if I just had to ask you the meaning of life if you write off the bat . The meaning of life forever unlimited . And it has everything to do with the freedom you hold in your heart and the way you feel good about everything . The way it's sm makes you feel good about yourself and good to other people and other people will feel good . One way to do this smile technique is to get a kitchen timer for an egg . It's one minute and when you put the egg in the water , you set up the chick kitchen timer for the egg. It goes tick tick tick tic tick ick. And while that's going on, you look in the bathroom mirror. You're looking at yourself, you start laughing . You might think, this is stupid God, this is stupid. And then you laugh and about twenty five seconds into it . You see what you're doing to yourself and you laugh for real at it and you're you're really laughing at yourself . And then when ding when the timer's over, ding , you go outside and you're already automatically smiling and your aura, your rhythm, your vibration is flowing in a way of compatibility to others . It's smiling and laughing. Life is really nothing on the earth is forever , but life is forever because you don't die. And I've been dead. I've been on the other side twice. What was the other time other than the motorcycle? It's like explaining an organism to a ten year old . You ready? Okay . What? No , on the other side side is you don't think, you don't have emotions, you don't you just feel and you see forever , but you're seeing with your spirit and you can go anywhere you want to as fast as f ainger snap . That means we could go from here to the three stars of Orion's belt and go around the three stars and be back to where you started from in less than a second . It is so pure and nothing but life over there in the spiritual realm . And I've had angels visit me, I've had people who passed away visit me . One day I was sitting on a bench out back of the house and Patrick Swazey who just passed away from pancreatic cancer , I felt his energy and I saw him, a vision of him. He flew right through me and right behind me was my earthly father flew through me . The spiritual realm is all around us now. We're sitting in it , but the deviations life can give us. No, I don't do that. I won't do that. No, no You're thinking without feeling . And when you think without feeling, you're not living life to its fullest example of who you are, in your truth, in your core , and why you came here. And the only reason we come to earth to get in this dense body and have parents and peer groups and go to schools where we went , we're here for one reason and that's to find the truth of ourselves . And when you find the truth of yourself , you automatically are your best friend . And that makes everyone else your best friend. Now there's no judgement. There's no I don't know, you know, there's none of that. Leave that alone , put that away. That's life . And now when you're dead , when you were dead? Yeah, you don't die. You don't. But when you're in that other realm , is that total happiness? Yeah . It's not happy because you know happy is an emotion on earth. Sadness . That's an emotion on earth. You don't have any of that over there . You have what life is, which is freedom and the word freedom, FREE DOM . I'm going to give you abus ing for the word freedom . FRE D OM stands for facing exciting energy , developing out of miracles . And the miracle is the greatest freedom you can have. And there miracles and blessings are all around us . You just gotta reach up and catch them when they come down. Now here's something I'm not done. I always go ahead. I'm kidding. Just thought I'd pull that up . Go ahead. I'm sorry . Oh no, don't be sorry, did you fart? What do your fart smell like to get personal? You eat kosher food, don't you? Cure up, Gilbert, this is all gonna get better .

Doeses y, but does sex exist after you die? Like because you're a spirit now, you're not a physical being . No , sex does not exist over there because you don't have to reproduce .

Well, that's not yeah, yes and no . There's no sex over there love over there is beyond love you feel here and you don't need sex. You did a movie with someone we interviewed recently , Roger Corman . Wow, yeah My first movie. It was called Angels Heart Is They Come and it was me and Scott Glenn. That's where Scott and I met. We've done three movies together, Scott and I . God bless Scott, you're great. Good man . And we had to I had a van and drove my van there . There were no dressing rooms. You got dressed out in the wood . There's one little shack without one wall. That was where the costumes were . Everything was quick, hitting fast and dusty and it was my first time. It was like great. It was like a quasi boot camp for doing a movie. And it was a gift. I called it a gift and a blessing to be able to be chosen to play Henry the Hippie . And Charlie Deerkop, wonderful actor, killed me . And that's to play dead in your first movie you're doing, you have to be shot and die . Man. Gilbert and I love that Sony Curtis , Gary. Did you any special or fond memories of working with Tony Curtis in insignificance? Nothing in my life is sad and the word sad SAD that stands for seeking another detour . Huh? Yeah, Gary's wife is correcting him . She's correcting one of the abuse She's correcting abuses. Would you like to come on the mic and say what they're come on, Stephanie, we want to hear your lovely voice. I think Stephanie said seeking another defeat . Well, that's what she's always doing . But Tony Curtis. Stephanie is beautiful. Tony Curtis. Okay . That's the movie insignificance I was talking about. He played Senator Joe McCarthy. I played the ball player. Teresa Russell played the actress, Marilyn Moreau Demagio and Emil, Michael Emil , who never acted before, but who looked just like Einstein with his hair. So we did that movie together and Tony and I would go , we hung out a lot together and haven't seen him in a while but we hung out a lot together after the movie and we were shooting in New York City city and significance. We were dressed in nineteen fifty clothes and we went over to a sushi bar and had sushi and I said, What are the movies one of your works ? It's an honor to me to see and to know you now. So like it hot . What was that like ? And he went, Oh my God, oh my god , oh my god, I said, Well, okay . What do you mean? Oh my god . And he said, looked at me, he said, Marilyn, Monroe . I said, Oh yeah, she's really pretty . Oh my god, oh my God . He said the love scene they did on the couch , Marilyn and Tony , she wanted to make it real and imaginate her feeling him inside her and it just boy Tony said, I was up and out him in no time . But there's no penetration of the women , but still again, I might as well have been Marilyn's taking a role, taking a performance, taking a scene , and putting herself into it so deep that that felt safe for her and her person , her person, Marilyn Monroe , taking the character, she's playing the singer and the All Girls Man to take it in that deep in her mind in her heart, in her soul. So Marilyn was actually experienced Tony Curtis fucking her in that scene. Well, so she feels . Yeah . And that's what counts for her for her . Mellon was misused and mistaken and misled . But boy did she leave a mark . I saw her in a movie last night two nights ago called Bus Stop and the freshness she has, the freshness, the energy, the excitement she has comes out on her face . And she was the very first playmate you, Hephner's Playboy . Now you ? Do you ever watch your own movies ? Do you ever watch my own movies? Yeah. Oh yeah . Yeah, I do. Yeah, I want to see what I've done. Which movie have you loved yourself in? You thought which movie have you seen where you said, wow, I really did it that time. Holly story. I saw it the other night and I hadn't seen it in a long time and it's so pure . Where are you going? You okay? Yeah . Come here Flamboyantly , no. Now, what was it like working with Dustin Hoffman? I was great. Straight time . Dussy was really supportive with me and that was the beginning of my career pretty soon. Yeah . I did Gumball Rally, Stars board , Straight Time with Dustin, Big Wednesday , Buddy Holly All in a row without a day without time off . And you tell us more about a star is born. What? A star is born . A star is burning. A star is born. Yes , yes . When's your birthday? February twenty eighth . That's good. That's when a star was born. I'll tell you about that . Cheer up. But the movie a star is born. Oh yeah, what about her? Yeah, Chris Christophys and Barbara Striesen. What's the difference in whom? One's a man, one's woman. Yeah. It's pretty easy to see. You don't need that question . I wanted to know which one was the man and which was the woman. Which one was a man ? It had to be Chris. Okay . Even though Chris is also a girl said that Barbara Streisen said something to you . I like the way to direct you . I'm telling you, I've never been told this before and when she said it to me , God, I just inside I just went like that because she hit it right on the head . After Daily's one time, we came out and she said, Beaucy . And I said, Yeah . She said, I know what to to get you to do things my way . And I said, What? Tell you the opposite . And I went, Oh my God . I said close with no cigar , but what I meant what was true is she hit the nail right on the head . She's brilliant. Sorry, give us an example of this. What? Give us an example of what a director could say to you and how you'd react. Oh , it depends on what it is . Well, if he said be very sad. Okay, okay, no, no, they can't direct emotions. The emotion comes to the line . I had a line in Big Wednesday and it's when the three of us are going to Mexico . And I came out and said three words, surfboards, women and guns . And I said, What does that mean? To direct your job, Melius. What does that mean? Surfboard women, what's my motivation there? He said , You're talking about three of the best things in the world . And I went, Oh yeah . Simple direction comes from another direction. But he's one of my buddies , Spielberg, Millius , Terry Gilliam. Oh my gosh . You work with some really iconic directors, Millius, David Lynch and Sidney Pollock as well . In addition to Gilliam . No , I go up to David Lynch where we were doing the movie called Last Lost Highway and him on the same khaki hat with a real long bill, a black shirt and khaki pants . And I say, David, what are we doing today? And he would look at me and pause and go , I don't know . And that was it for a good direction. You're on your own And you worked with I'll just say some names to you . Gene Hackman . Gene Hackman worked with Gene in the firm, but we didn't have scenes together , but he was there . And when I met him in the cave and when you go to lunch , when I met him at that line is like meeting royalty . Gene Hagman, man, it's just whoa . And Robert Duval ? Robert Duval . He's an interesting eccentric beautiful artist . I first met Robert Duval when he was on screen and to kill a mockingbird playing Boo Ratley . Great. We did a show called To Get Harry or Let's find Harry . And Robert Ryan Robert Ryan is very a quiet withdrawn man . That's the first beginning of my career. So I didn't know much about him, but now I do. Man, that guy has been around the horn, Robert Ryan, incredible actor . Oh, R od Steger had a scene with Steger sitting across from him . Which movie? At the other house . Lolly Madonna War. Okay , and Steger was looking at me and he prepared a sandwich on a piece of bread with ketchup and raisins . And the mother, his wife, Ross Starger's wife, standing at the door was going to shoot me in the head with a squid bl owing out my brains here . And I had to wait. This is tough. I had to wait till that shot was fired . I couldn't register any expectation of anything . That's sitting there like a frog on a log , you know ? And when it came off, I went out and then when we had lunch, I sat in the table next to Sam Peckinpa. that throat . And he gave me a good look, you know , like he was impressed with what he saw . That's all that happened . But I was impressed with oh look at me. I got blood hanging. I got my hair all out here with blood all over it and brush that must be a very hard thing to do. What? When you know a squib, which is an explosive, it's going to blow blood out of the side of your head and act like you don't know what's coming up . What they do, they take a piece of leather about three inches long and about two inches wide and they put a quarter , they glew a quarter on that piece of leather . Then there's four holes in the corners of the leather on each point . And they put that under your hair and take your hair and weave it through the holes and tie it on your head . There's the quarter. Then they take the split, which is the blood chute . They put that on the top of the quarter, then they take the wire to that, run it down the back, down my shirt, and out my leg and over there so the guy can to set off the squib . It's not it's a lot harder than crossword puzzles . I can tell you You know, Gary Gilbert and I have a we love Jack Elam, the old character actor and I think the first time I ever saw you was in the show The Texas Wheelers . If you could look him up or he was always that actor who had an eye pointing in the other director. You know what he did ? He did a lot of shows on he did gun smoke shows and they're at studio city studios . And they'd go across the street and play Lyr us Poker . Jack was a brilliant mathematician and he had that one eye . He got stabbed in the eye with a pencil when he was twelve. That's how that happened for Jack , but he would win . I'd say he'd come back from lunch. I'd say Jack, how'd you do? eighty five dollars . Yeah . See, now him getting stared. He didn't have he'd have little bottles of clear on gin . You know, you see these, you know, the set is on this bunch of boards like this and like this and they stick out four inches. You see those little bottles empty setting on those . Then at five o'clock you'd go to Brown who Job Bean or something . It's so funny. God bless you , Jack Elim. I love you, man. God bless you in the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ. How life works him getting stabbed in the eye . Jack Elam getting stabbed in the eye with a pencil when he was a kid would, you know, catapult his career. Oh, Mel Gibson. Yeah, what did say about Mel Gibson? Men's history ? Good enough. Men's history started with Adam. Who writes the damn questions here? Yes. Men's history. Yes. Men's history. Is this history one hundred and one . When you co starred with men's history, when you co starred with Mel Gibson. Oh, that guy . Yeah, he is the definition of men's history. That guy there. No Mel's great. We had such a great time doing lethal weapon and that fight scene at the end . It took five nights to film from five PM to five AM and it was full speed , four martial arts , cameras everywhere . The water coming out of the fire hydrant was pointed. The drops were pointed at both ends as big as your little finger, hitting you pretty hard . And there's one shot of us before we had to start the fight scene in a certain position in the fight scene, and we had to start on the ground. So there's a picture of I of Mel and I , there's a picture of Mel and I spooning , you know, like gay lovers of Fire Island. We're letting their all turtle up together, but did action gay . It went ahead. It was great working with Mel. Steve . I work with him anytime. He's very smart. He's got a good way of thinking . And of course we all go through our things in life that transfer us into a better place . And that's what he's done . Tell him why you were huh? yeah. Gary Busie's wife leaned over to him and said, Tell him why you were spooning Mel Gibson? Well , it was a way to understand that we enjoyed how we inserted each other's suppositories . We were spooning because it was freezing cold and we were damn near shirtless and we spooned because we were body heat kept you warm . That's all it was John Zyni. Sorry. Is that is that what you want to hear? Don't alright . I've gotten this far without Gary killing me . So I feel your loved. One thing that I really liked in the beginning of my career was when a show that was on the air for eighteen years was going off the air and the show I was on would be the last show and I was it was called the Busters Busters BUST ERS and it was about these Bronco Busters and I fell off the horse my horse in the show and hit my head on a fence post and I died in the streets because my buddy John Beck, the actor , we were going to make money and go build a wrench in Montana and I died with my eyes open and one eye crossed and they called me back in and said it's against TV standards to die with your eyes open on TV . Wow. So they said you know that's great. They said, Gary, you ready? And I said, Yeah . And here's what I did when they said action. Say action. Action . He's squinting his eyes basically like me.
