-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!
