uh with liza minnelli she was appearing at radio city music hall and walking towards the backstage
with a couple of security guys and there was some you know there was some guys with girls there and
everything and the girls were saying hello and the guys were saying you know the girl said oh
that's joe pesci he goes oh and the guy said oh what wise guy what a good fella i give him a slap
you know in your third year of high school come back come back are you gone
on the uh program tonight nfl number one draft pick dan wilkinson from ohio state randy travis
of course will be out a little bit later and right now we're talking with madonna so
how did you come up with that whole material girl thing madonna
uh i'm glad i'm not part of the active feuds you used to have though
oh yeah yeah did you really call ted koppel tell me it looked like uh
howdy doody yeah you called dustin hoffman a weasel yeah no no see dustin hoffman deserved
to be called a weasel and i'll tell you why he behaved like a weasel because he said he
would come and be on the show and he never came on the show he said yes i'll be there and we
had a whole day picked out for him it was dustin hoffman day the the guy's squeezing oh no sir
oh thank god this isn't being televised god
so about my golf game yeah but no let me just finish up on dustin hoffman
but he's still active no and i said no no no no we buried the hatchet on that and i think
it was as often happens in show business just a misunderstanding exactly and uh we would love
to have him on i don't think he's a weasel anymore oh yeah so this golf game of mine
who do you play golf with well i play golf with jack nicholson and oh man
wow now did you talk to him after the big freeway 9-iron deal yes i did what was that what did he
have to say about that well you know the guy cut him off and practically ran him off the
road and just happen to stop in front of him at a light right sometimes you get upset you know
but see that's i think that he didn't he didn't hit the guy that's a common reaction a common
emotion and many people think about doing that but you you know you can't do that you can't just be
you know you can't no you know it's not a movie it's not a movie so you you and jack nicholson
who else dennis harper plays oh my gosh this is like maniacs loose at the country club
and de niro does he play golf with you guys no bob doesn't play golf as a matter of fact it's
very funny bob and i had an apartment together years ago and uh i used to keep my golf clubs in
the hall and i would hear him he'd come in and i'd hear him giggling you know and i said bob said you
bob is that you so i go in the hall what's the matter he said your golf clubs are over by the
door over there so what's funny about that i i can't picture you playing golf
well you know he's got something
it's a very difficult game though isn't it oh it is but people who love the game just they it's
in their blood for some reason it's in my blood yeah uh what was this uh i don't know if this
happened recently uh a dinner that you attended uh yourself yeah uh maybe de niro was there right um
marlon brando oh yeah yeah there was and who else it was michael jackson what is the gathering here
what is the commonality there well the thing was that uh michael had mentioned you know that he was
good friends with marlon brando and i was working with michael at the time and he said something
about having dinner and i told bob and even though bob worked with him we you know he never met him
i never met him i wanted to meet him and uh frank deleo was uh uh uh michael's agent at the time so
the four of us had dinner together it was uh fun i guess was it fun or was it just bizarre it was
it was it was a little strange no it was fun we it started off very nice this was in someone's home
was that michael's home and we were all having dinner and drinking and i'll tell you something
funny that because i know frank deleon must have said this story uh marlon had his girlfriend or
his wife with him i don't know which was it i don't know i don't know don't pressure me
don't get me started
don't aggravate me
so we were having dinner and drinking and this woman or girl would get up to go to the ladies
room she was the only girl there and marla would stand up and i got up bob got up michael
everybody stood up and she'd go we sit down again she'd come back marlon would stand up i stood up
sat down again and she did it again and he stood up iced it up and we're
drinking wine and drinking wine she comes back we're eating and drinking drinking
and all of a sudden i'm saying to myself i hope she doesn't get up again not in the mood for this
she got up again marlon stood up and i went like this and i went i won't screw this i said
and marlon said screw this broke the ice what what do you what were you guys talking about what was
there to chat about at dinner talking about old films and everything and marlon was very
complimentary and a real gentleman really sweet it was nice well that's good it's you know it's great
fun to have here i i think you're great you're a lot of fun you're a fun guy you're funny too
oh yeah you think i'm funny you find me amusing nice to see you joe pesci
