-I was just looking at this.
-
Look at you, a stud on the cover of "Men's Health" right there.
-
But this is what made me laugh. -What? Oh, no.
-
-Dude, look. It's bigger than your name.
-
Look down here. "You and your penis."
-
-Well -- -I just thought that was --
-
-Why is my hand, like -- Why did they --
-
Why did they pick that pose? -Why did they pick that pose?
-
Yeah, yeah. Anyways, congrats on that.
-
Congrats on your penis. Yeah, really.
-
-Just helping people across the country.
-
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-
-How is your summer? Everything going well?
-
-It's been good. -Yeah.
-
-But we had some issues heading into 4th of July at my house.
-
-Tell me.
-
-Well, we had some snake problems.
-
-Ooh.
-
-So, I live in California, and there are snakes,
-
'cause it's like the desert.
-
So there were snakes coming in from my neighbor's yard.
-
Like, big, big snakes, like this thick around.
-
Long, colored like rattlesnakes.
-
We kept spotting them in the yard.
-
-Wow!
-
-So, one day, I'm driving home,
-
and I pull into my driveway in my truck
-
and I see a huge one going across the driveway.
-
-Wow.
-
-So, my wife and I watch "Naked and Afraid" all the time.
-
-Okay.
-
-And they're always, like, eating snakes
-
with a stick and a machete.
-
And they'll -- That's their f-- You know, so I've kind of
-
watched and thought like, "Can I do that?"
-
-Yeah.
-
-So I hit the park. I go running in the house.
-
And I have a lot of, like,
-
machetes and tomahawks and, like, katana --
-
well, from, like, all the movies I've done.
-
-Oh, okay. -And then gifts.
-
People send me battle axes, fully weighted,
-
that can go through armor.
-
Anyway, it's weird.
-
My house, my office -- I've got a lot of weird stuff.
-
-Wow! -Anyway, I go running in.
-
I grab this Tomahawk, pull the cover off.
-
I go running through the house,
-
and my wife sees me running outside with an ax.
-
And she started screaming, "What's happening?!"
-
You know, thinking I'm gonna go
-
murder somebody in our driveway.
-
-Of course. -And, so, I go running out.
-
She comes running out after me in her bathrobe
-
and sees me going after this snake.
-
And she starts screaming, "No, it's too short!"
-
She disappears back into the house
-
and comes back out with one of my training katanas.
-
-Like a sword. A crazy -- -Like a big sword.
-
But it's a training sword, so it's not like a real katana.
-
And I'm like, "That's not sharp enough!"
-
And, so, I'm -- The snake is now going over the wall,
-
into the neighbor's yard.
-
And I'm up to the waist over, trying to get this thing
-
with this tomahawk that she feels is too short,
-
that the snake will be able to bite me back.
-
So she's in the street now screaming, in her bathrobe,
-
waving an unsheathed katana around.
-
And a car stops in the street with this guy,
-
you know, behind the steering wheel.
-
And he goes, "Is everything all right?"
-
-Yeah. It's like you're holding an ax.
-
-It's Beverly Hills. It's broad daylight.
-
There's a woman like that, they're screaming with a katana,
-
and there's a crazed guy with an ax, a hatchet
-
in the driveway, you know, with blood on it
-
from just -- So, we got the snake.
-
-Okay, good.
-
-And my brother could bring over
-
my nieces and kids with, you know --
-
-It's safe now. -It's safe now.
-
-It's snake-free at your house. -Yeah. Snake-free.
-
-I love that you have all these crazy weapons
-
and stuff at your house.
-
-Well, it's, like, all the roles I play.
-
-Well, do you have a baseball bat now from this movie?
-
-I have many baseball bats. -Do you really? Yeah.
-
-Congrats on "Bottom of the 9th."
-
-Thank you. -You produced this, as well.
-
-I did, yeah. -What is this film about?
-
-Well, I play a 19-year-old kid who grew up in the Bronx,
-
in the shadow of Yankee Stadium.
-
And he winds up getting drafted by the Yankees.
-
He's baseball phenom. -Yeah.
-
-And shortly after getting drafted,
-
he's out with his neighborhood friends one night,
-
and they all get into a fight.
-
And he hits a kid.
-
The kid falls back and smacks his head
-
on the curb and dies.
-
And my character winds up getting nine years in prison
-
for it and then another nine years for violence
-
for basically keeping himself alive in prison.
-
So, he gets out 18 years later and returns to the Bronx,
-
having missed his mother's funeral.
-
He missed the Yankees. He missed the girl.
-
-His life. -Yeah, he missed his life.
-
And he tries to put things back together
-
and, in the process, winds up getting a second chance
-
at baseball in the minor leagues
-
and then winds up bumping into the girl
-
whose heart he broke at 19 years old, who's played by my wife.
-
-Sofia. -Yeah.
-
-How cool is that? -It's great.
-
-How is it to work with Sofia? -She's the best.
-
-She is the best. -Yeah, she's the best.
-
-Any drama because you guys
-
are working together but also married?
-
-No. I mean, I was also a producer,
-
so I had to make sure that she was in the car on time.
-
-There you go.
-
-But I'm used to that as a husband.
-
You just tell her a half an hour early,
-
and then we're good.
-
-Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's great.
-
I want to show everyone a clip.
-
Here's Joe Manganiello in "Bottom of the 9th."
-
Take a look at this.
-
-Sonny!
-
Let's see what you got, hot shot.
-
-You need some WD-40 with that swing?
-
-Let's go. Give me the heat. That's all you got anyway.
-
-Let's go win this, baby. Come on, now.
-
-Oh! -Nice, Stano.
-
-It's out of here! Joe Manganiello, everybody!
