Ooh, thank you for that intro dress. I'm Justina Cherco,
10
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:45.320
Thanks so much.
11
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.960
All right, now, what do you always want to be entertainment?
12
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.119
Were you one of those kids who was a little
13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.840
ham so interesting?
14
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:02.200
I know, I'm not sure really. I remember being in
15
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.560
talent shows for sure. When I was in like junior high,
16
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.239
I did want to be the son of attention. But
17
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.079
my sister actually was so she was a singer as well.
18
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.239
We were on cheerleading together. So I was always a performer.
19
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.439
I wanted to dance, and my parents didn't you know,
20
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:21.879
to get all that. Seriously, it's like with fam and
21
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.040
dance and then you do the recitals, and I really
22
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:31.280
shine during dance and performing, and I was my teacher
23
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.560
took a notice of me. I was very proud of that,
24
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.439
and she had me come and like help her young
25
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.879
kids out. But I never really stuck. I didn't stick
26
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.000
with the dance because you know, you got to junior
27
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:44.719
high and it was like, I want to be popular,
28
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.120
I want to do I want to be bought. You
29
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.640
are you know I'm kidding. I'm not gonna sing wicked,
30
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.879
but yeah, you know, it goes and fear pressure. And
31
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.079
so I had friends that were on cheerleading, and I said, well,
32
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.120
I want to be a cheerleader. And I was like
33
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.640
seventh grade and I tried out and I was horrible.
34
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.680
I sucked, I sucked up. I was terrible. I was
35
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:10.639
so bad because I didn't you know, I didn't know
36
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.159
I was getting myself into We didn't have practices and rehearsals.
37
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.960
I just jumped into it. And I didn't make it.
38
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.240
All the friends made it. I cried my eyes out, cried, cried,
39
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.680
and I said, you know what, I'm just going to
40
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.599
practice every single day this whole entire summer. And I
41
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.280
committed myself ridiculously, like a crazy person, to every year
42
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.960
that I could find every window to hit, every high V,
43
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.360
every low V. I mean, I was absolutely insane, like
44
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.719
all the kids were swimming in the pool. My parents
45
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.120
have a pool, and you know, eating hot dogs and
46
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.080
like enjoying their summer, and I'm just like, no, I
47
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.280
want to go to cheers. I'm a cheerleader. I'm a
48
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.240
cheer I want to make it this year. And so
49
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.039
I ended up just going crazy and rehearsing and then
50
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.800
trying out and making it and being the top. I
51
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.439
remember my cheerleading code saying I'm not su to tell
52
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.879
you this that at the top score, and I was
53
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:12.360
like I should, Yeah, where my aof where's my assow
54
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:12.840
for that?
55
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:18.199
You know, I didn't but you didn't even eat hot dogs.
56
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:25.080
I probably did because I love hot dogs, but I'd
57
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.280
be like, nope, I can't enjoy it. I can't, you know,
58
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.879
be a kid. I got to make this cheerleading squad.
59
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.680
I don't know what it was about that being left out.
60
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.319
There was a lot of promo around that, like all
61
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.800
these girls around there and you know, and so it
62
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:42.919
wasn't fut of that friend group and it's just such
63
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.759
a really hard time. For some reason, I just really
64
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:49.879
wanted to do it, and I did, and I ended
65
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.159
up doing it for four years. So but none of
66
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.240
that you know, I wasn't dancing for any of that time. Well,
67
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.840
I mean, you know, you dance your halftime cheers and
68
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.840
stuff like that. So I always thought, well, I was
69
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.680
still kind of cheering, but in a different or dancing
70
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.520
in a different way, which is cheerleading, but I was
71
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:11.000
still performing. So yeah, I always had that bog I
72
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:16.560
guess of performing and then like in I guess junior
73
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.600
high as well, my friends we would do skits. Okay,
74
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.040
we would put on plays in our neighborhood to my
75
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.000
best friend, and I wanted to be the lead of
76
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.560
course in Greece, and they did not want me to
77
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:37.480
be Sandy. I was like, I am Sandy. I just
78
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.120
want I want to be blonde. I want to be
79
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.040
Olivia Newton John. That was my dream, and they made
80
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:48.959
me jan you know Jan Rush, our prussure brush. So
81
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.600
I was sort of sort of a nerd, you know,
82
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.279
I don't think I saw myself and I really wanted
83
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.519
to be like, well, if I'm not going to be Sandy,
84
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.160
I want to be Rizzo. But my friend who put
85
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.199
it all together, you know, she's very control, and she
86
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.480
was like, I'm Rizzo. I don't care or I won't
87
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.040
do the play. So anyway, you know, we did that,
88
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.639
and I think a lot of actors talk about doing
89
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:18.959
stuff like this, you know, in the basement and then
90
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.879
going around to your neighborhood and being like Friday night,
91
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.120
come to our show, right, So so we did, and
92
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.800
we had all the parent who's come and launch us
93
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.040
in my my friend's basement, made a popcorn machine and
94
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.759
we had popcorn, and I think we even went so
95
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.240
far as to sell tickets. I mean, we were serious.
96
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.879
We were very serious about it. And I can't remember
97
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:48.000
who was Sandy. I think it was Plicelester actually put
98
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.360
on a blonde wig. But yeah, I was moread the
99
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:54.639
sidekick best friends.
100
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.879
Hey, but you laid that foundation.
101
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.279
Though, yeah, and then uh with another group of friends.
102
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.000
I remember doing a talent shows as a kindermand grade
103
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.920
school and we did Annie and I was the dog.
104
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:16.360
So everybody was laughing at me, you know, I was
105
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:16.720
the dog.
106
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.279
Was well, that's when you learn it, you like laughs.
107
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:26.399
If that was anything for you, Yeah, I was like, oh, okay,
108
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.279
they didn't make me Annie. They didn't make me like
109
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.399
it's a hard knock, like you know, the the kids.
110
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.319
I watched the new Annie and they don't say organ.
111
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.560
They say it's foster child.
112
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:40.360
Really I didn't know that.
113
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.360
Yeah, they changed it anyway.
114
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.480
All right, well we had a couple of ye where
115
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.000
it came from. We actually have a couple of national
116
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:51.639
days today.
117
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.959
Mine's kind of lame. It's for the nerds, so don't
118
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.920
get excited. But March fourteenth, it's National Pie Day, but
119
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.560
not the pie you love to eat. It's pie pi.
120
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.199
You know the mathematical constant. It goes three point one
121
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.120
four nine and it goes on forever. And I don't
122
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:07.720
know why you want to celebrate that today.
123
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:08.480
I have no idea.
124
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.560
I have no idea why you'd be proud of this either.
125
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.879
In July, some nerds they calculated pie out the two
126
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.639
hundred and second trillion vidiot.
127
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.000
I'm really proud of it. I think it's kind of sad.
128
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:19.839
You know what your day is? Pretty cool?
129
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.040
Potato chips? How fout potato chips?
130
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.160
How my mouth doesn't crunch crunch?
131
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.360
I don't want no lunch. All I want is potato chips,
132
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:41.600
potato chips. How my val potato chips?
133
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.439
Today is National Potato Chip Day. Back in eighteen fifty
134
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.240
three at the Saratogain and Sarah Spoda, Springs, New York.
135
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.319
A customer at the restaurant kept sending back his potatoes.
136
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.360
He said they were too soggy. So the chef, George Crumb,
137
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.879
he really got pissed off. So he sliced the potatoes
138
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.240
then as he could. Then he fried him up as
139
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.399
crispy as he could. Then he put a whole bunch
140
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.800
of extra salt on him. Send him back out. Oh
141
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.720
the customer, he loved him, and so did everybody sitting
142
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.439
around him. And that's how the potato chip was born. Now,
143
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.920
as awesome as potato chips are, there is a downside.
144
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.199
Potato chips are really unhealthy. In fact, potato jests they
145
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.879
god's more weight gain than any of the other food
146
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.160
out there. I guess we can worry about that tomorrow
147
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.160
and we'll just celebrate the potato chip today. Are you
148
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:25.040
a potato chip fan?
149
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:31.879
Yeah? I love potato chips, every single flavored potato chests,
150
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:39.639
star cream cheese and star cream, barbecue, gosh, every brand, Lais, Cattle,
151
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.440
Trader Joe, some Whole Foods. I'm a huge potato chip
152
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:47.080
brand fan.
153
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:49.600
So you'll be celebrating today, then.
154
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.399
Awesome, and I will celebrate with some potato chips.
155
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.240

176
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:18.080

177
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.080
Haggard from a burglary that he had committed and spent
178
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.440
three years in prison for. Yeah, so Mira could vote again.
179
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.360
All right, Now you're actually voiced in the movie The
180
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.200
Ogilvie Loves a lot of big names are in there
181
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.679
with you. Yeah, what, Chlorus Leechman, Tony Braxton, Christopher Lloyd,
182
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.200
Jamie Presley, Chaz Plimentary. So when you do a yeah,
183
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.399
and it's a little kids movie, Now, when you do
184
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.559
those kind of movies, is everybody in the room playing
185
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.759
off each other or you each kind of just recording
186
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.559
your own voice solo?
187
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:44.360
Or how's that work?
188
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:51.840
So it was very interesting. My experience was I worked
189
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:58.600
production for four days. No I no, okay, it was
190
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.840
a thirty how many day shoots? Thirty one day shoot
191
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.279
something like that, And I worked production and every day
192
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.320
except three days that I acted. So you would think, oh,
193
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.200
my gosh, you know you work thirty one days on
194
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.720
a film. No, that's not the case. And you would think, oh, well,
195
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.879
the name actors worked thirty one days. No, they worked
196
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.000
three days. Every single actor worked three days on the shoot,
197
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:25.960
which was amazing and the fourth day was the voiceover
198
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.679
was ad R. It's where they you know, fixed everything
199
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:36.440
and impost right. And so when I worked, I only
200
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.279
worked with chess Palm Terry, who was my scene partner,
201
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.759
an amazing scene partner. Loved him and I thought, oh,
202
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.720
you know, he's going to be so helpful. And I said,
203
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.480
you know, do you have any advice? And we were
204
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.080
going through like a backstory and I was actually, you know,
205
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.679
being the actor, going okay, so let's go backstory of
206
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.519
brother or sister where our parents blah blah blah. He goes, hey,
207
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.320
you know, we don't need to get that deep. But
208
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:12.639
she's a lot star. I didn't know that. He came
209
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.080
from singing. He was a lead singer, right, so that's
210
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.080
where he got his success. And then he turned it
211
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:25.799
into acting okay, and then right and then uh, the
212
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:31.559
bronx tail is what what skyrocket him. Right, that was
213
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.320
his success because he couldn't sit around and be an
214
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.639
actor and in that struggling mind as he created the
215
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.960
box tail wrote it anyway. So that's that's his story.
216
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.600
But he was telling me like, you know, it's like
217
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.240
you're not the star. I mean in a very nice way,
218
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.480
like you don't have to get cut that artistic about it,
219
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:55.360
just kind of say the lines, don't bump into furniture.
220
00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:00.679
Like he comes from that world of you know, like
221
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.000
he's not a mathod actor. I don't know. I guess
222
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:06.879
I'm thinking of like I can't even think of the
223
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.320
name of the actor right now, but he's very well. Oh,
224
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.960
I think it's Orson because it Orson Welles would say.
225
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.720
I think he would say, just don't bump into the furniture.
226
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:18.679
Okay.
227
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.519
I think there's like a famous Yeah, it's a famous
228
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.840
saying where these older actors just are like, it's not
229
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.200
that deep, say you're a line. So that was That
230
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.279
was kind of him. And so I worked in production
231
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.200
with Chorus, with Christopher Lloyd, with Kerry Ellis nicelest man
232
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.120
in entertainment today. Loved him so much. I picked him
233
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:46.879
up from the airport. He wanted to go to the
234
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.840
Motow Museum just so this all took place in Detroit,
235
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.440
and so I picked him up in the airport took
236
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:55.759
him to the museum. That was super cool. I don't
237
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:57.600
think I would have ever gone to the Motown Museum
238
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.240
if it wasn't for him. Wanting to go and he
239
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:02.879
was like, I'm gonna buy a hat. Do you want to,
