-Yeah, yeah, yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]

-Does that mean -- -New Jersey.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Does that mean that you are a big Springsteen fan?

-Yeah, dude. I'm the -- yes.

I don't want to say I'm the biggest,

because many people out there consider themselves

the biggest Springsteen fan. But I'm a pretty big fan, yeah.

-Really? -I love him.

-And did you ever get to meet him at all?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. A few times.

-Wow. Do you remember the first time?

-Yeah, well, the first time that I met him,

I met him two nights in a row

when he was playing in New Jersey.

And I was with a friend who knew him.

And the first time I met him, I couldn't say anything,

and I destroyed his bathroom.

[ Laughter ]

I was so -- I was so nervous.

Oh, it was horrible. It was, like, I was nervous.

And I was freaked out, and I couldn't talk.

-Oh, my God. That's terrible.

-Everybody knew, and it was bad.

-Oh, my. -Luckily, they invited me back.

And then, the next night,

he weirdly invited me to dinner after that.

-Really? -And we went to --

Yeah, we went to eat. And he -- And it was great.

And I asked him all of the questions

I always wanted to ask him.

And weird questions, you know, like, I asked him

if he eats at home when he plays in New Jersey

or if he eats at the venue.

-That's a great question. -Yeah, he said so, too.

He was like, "That's a good question."

He's was like, "I don't eat before the show.

I like to be hungry when I go out there."

And I was like, "Holy crap, that's a great answer."

-Yeah! [ Laughter ]

-And now I don't eat before I work.

-Yeah. I'm never gonna eat ever again.

-I always want to be hungry. -Yeah.

-Got to be hungry for the crowd. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-You do a pretty good Bruce. -Thanks, man.

-Well, I was thinking maybe, if you want,

because I can do Bruce, as well.

So I thought maybe we could -- -Yeah, you do a very good Bruce.

-We could do a Bruce-off. If you don't mind.

-Oh, yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]

What are we doing? -Just gonna read --

These are two children's poems.

And I'll read the top one, then you can read the bottom.

-Okay. All right. Lets see.

-You want to go first? -No, you go first.

Oh, you're gonna get up.

-[ As Springsteen ] All right.

How you guys doing over there, all right.

[ Cheers and applause ]

You know, Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Humpty Dumpty had a -- one, two, three, fall!

And all -- all the King's horses and all the King's men,

you know...

I remember growing up in Jersey and my dad used to --

My dad used to come into the bedroom.

He'd wake me up, "Hey, Bruce! Hey, Bruce, you sleeping?"

I'd get up and go, "No, dad, I'm not sleeping, I'm dreaming."

[ Light laughter ]

He'd say, "What are you dreaming about?

You can tell me."

I said, "I'm just dreaming!

I'm just dreaming that, one day, Humpty Dumpty

can put himself back together again.

That's what I'm talking about!"

-[ As Springsteen ] Little Miss Muffet...

[ Laughter ]

...sat on her tuffet.

-[ Normal voice ] Oh, that's pretty good.

-Eating her curds and whey.

[ Light laughter ]

Along came a spider named Wild Terry.

[ Laughter ]

Sat down beside her.

And made love to her in the dirt.

[ Laughter and applause ]

And that frightened Miss Muffet away.

-Oh, yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you for doing that.

I got to talk to you about "The Irishman,"

because you got to be so excited --

I would be so excited just to be involved with this movie at all.

-Totally. -And you more than hold your own

with the biggest actors in the world.

-Thank you. -I mean, you're fantastic in it.

-Thank you very much. -Who do you play again?

You play Skinny? -I play a guy

with the best name ever -- Skinny Razor.

-Skinny Razor. [ Laughter ]

That is fantas-- What a great nickname.

-Yeah, yeah, I know. Apparently, he was a real guy,

and he was very talented with a skinny -- with a razor.

-Yeah. And they gave you --

-He wasn't a barber. [ Laughter ]

-No, no, not at all.

But you know, a little bit, Al Pacino.

-Yeah, I was lucky enough to do a play with Al,

and then, we did a movie together called "Danny Collins,"

and he's become a great friend.

-What's he like? I mean, what do you do?

-He's so sweet. He's just very warm.

You know, he's a great card player.

I play cards, poker game, you know.

-Do you do an impression of Al Pacino?

-Yeah, but you know, the funny thing about those guys, right,

is like, I feel like -- it's like the mob.

Like, I don't want to get on -- you know.

I don't want to say too much. -Yeah, yeah.

-But I'll tell you one quick little story,

'cause it's very short.

But, you know, there's a scene in the movie.

And Harvey Keitel and I are sitting at the table,

and Al comes over as Hoffa, and all he does is come over and go,

"Skinny, Angelo," and, you know, it's an ad-lib.

And, so, we say hello, and then, on the next take,

Harvey goes, "Let's not say anything to him

when he comes over, because we don't like him anyway,

so let's ignore him. Let's ice him out."

So, do the second take, and he comes over,

and he's like, "Skinny, Angelo," and we don't do anything.

And he goes, "I'm feeling a chill."

[ Laughter ]

And he walked away, and it was the greatest improv.

-I'm feeling a chill. -It was so quick.

And he walked away, and it was awesome.

-I love this movie so much. It's fantastic.
