-Thank you so much for coming back.
We love having you here. -Always.
-And, of course -- [ Cheers and applause ]
Morrissey is here. -Yeah.
-Dude, I heard that you were super excited about this.
-Yeah, I'm a little nervous. -You are?
-A little bit.
-Just to be in the building with him?
-Maybe. I mean -- So, I've been listening to Morrissey
since I was, like, 13 years old. -And now you're 15.
-Morrissey and the Smiths -- -Yeah.
-Yeah, now I'm 15. -So, for two years.
-But I've been listening to them...
-Big Smiths -- -Yeah, huge Smiths fan,
huge Morrissey fan. It's one of those things
where I kind of feel like he raised me a little bit --
-Wow! -With his music.
-Wow! -Yeah, and like,
all of my friends, you know, we would just --
we would listen to the Smiths and Morrissey,
and then we would quote them.
Just kind of casually pull out,
"I wear black on the outside,
because black is how I feel on the inside."
[ Laughter ] -Yes.
-You know, like, t-shirts and stuff.
It was just -- it was one of those things where,
I'm kind of shaking right now. -Yeah.
-I'm a little nervous. -Did you get to say hi to him?
He's really -- he's nice. -No, not yet.
[ Laughter ]
-Do you not want to meet him?
-No, I'd probably love to.
But I'm also, like, I'm cool being a fan.
I'm cool being a fan. I'm literally nervous.
-I got you. [ Applause ]
-I don't get rattled. I really don't get rattled.
But it's -- when they were like,
"hey, you going to go see Jimmy?"
I'm like, "Great, I'm totally down."
They're like, "Morrissey is going to be on his show."
I think I just froze. [ Laughter ]
-Started crying. -It's a very weird feeling.
I'm not usually off my game,
but this is kind of putting me off my game a little bit.
I'm usually very cool. -Would you get a tattoo
of his autograph? -I don't know.
I don't know if, like, Jack Pearson --
-Do you have a tattoo at all? -No.
-No? -No. That's like the only one.
That's kind of legit, though, I guess.
-That would be the only one you would ever get is Morrissey?
-Maybe. When I was a kid, I wore my hair like Morrissey,
I dressed like Morrissey. -Really?
-He kind of consumed my life. -This is fantastic.
-Yeah, you've never seen me nervous.
-Yeah, I've never seen you like this.
I love it, it's fantastic. It's you and it's also,
Mayor Pete is on the show as well.
He's running for president. -Which, yeah, I wanted to put
a Mayor Pete shirt underneath of my Morrissey shirt.
[ Laughter ] -That's enough representing.
I appreciate that. -And A Roots shirt.
-And a Roots -- I got you. Then you'll be wearing six shirts.
-Yeah, I know.
-Did you ever run for school president or class --
-Yes, I ran and I won. Senior class president.
-No way! -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ] I did, I did.
-That's fantastic. -So, El Modena High School
in the city of Orange, I was senior class president.
-Wow! What was your issues?
-So, one of my best friends, Garrett Kerr,
he was also running. And he was this very handsome,
blond hair, blue-eyed guy.
And so we got up there together and we said,
listen, we can both do the job,
but it all comes down to, do you want a guy
with blond hair and blue eyes
or a guy with dark hair and dark eyes?
And then we, like, literally dropped mic
and walked off stage. -That was it?
-That was it. [ Laughter ]
-That was your whole thing? -And I won.
[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah.
But this is -- -I would have voted for you.
-Thanks, I know. It's like looking in the mirror,
you and me. -Of course, we're like twins.
Twinsies. -Yeah, totally. I know.
[ Laughter ]
[ Audience cheering ]
-Was your name ever tricky growing up?
Milo Ventimiglia. -All the time, man.
Well, first name, people would call me "Meelo."
-They'd call you "Meelo"? -You know, I'd get that.
There's a lot of international folks, so the M-I sound is "me."
But, Ventimiglia, that just got butchered all the time.
I mean, Ventimi-- vegetarian. Milo Vegetarian.
[ Laughter ] The worst one though, actually
was Milo Ventimi-whatever.
No joke, no joke. [ Laughter ]
-Legit someone said that? -Legit. Milo Ventimi-whatever.
[ Laughter ] -Who said that?
-I was 12. I was 12.
I was playing football.
We were in the big championship game.
I'm running out on the field and they're announcing everybody.
And they literally get to Venti -- Venti-whatever.
Ventimi-whatever. -No way.
That's something you don't forget, right,
when you're 12 years old. -No, man,
I've got to find that announcer.
-I read something funny
and interesting about you on the Web.
I don't know if it's true. Usually it's not but --
-Okay. -I heard that you like to sit
in the front seat if you take an Uber?
-[ Laughs ] Yeah. [ Laughter ]
Sometimes. -You really do?
-I feel weird. It's like car service.
Car service, you're like, there's a professional,
there's kind of a code of conduct.
Someone's personal car?
I feel like I should probably just, you know,
sit next to them. So sometimes I'm like,
"hey, you mind if I just hop up front?"
They're like, "no." So I hop up front.
Seat belt's on. You know, talk about the weather.
Talk about -- -Really?
-Yeah, yeah. -You chat it up with Uber --
-Sometimes. -Do they recognize you?
Do they know who you are? -Oh, yeah, by the time
they drop me off, they're like, "Hey man, can I get a photo?"
-They're like, "Dude, you're Milo Vegetable."
[ Laughter ] "Dude, I love you."
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally.
