Richard Grieco on Matty P's Radio Happy Hour

You're right--this picture has nothing whatsoever to do with this post. It's just my way of sneakily pimping AE: Apocalypse Earth one more time even as we've moving on to other subjects. 

It's been nearly a month since Richard called in to Matty P's web-based radio show, but I didn't get a chance to listen to the program until yesterday.

It's a 3-hour show, but approximately the first hour is devoted to Peter Weller.  Just shy of the hour mark, "Voice with No Name" marks the transition.

These guys had clearly done their homework, and the show was not only entertaining throughout, but I learned some things I didn't know. Don't get excited, though, when you read the description of the show: though they affirmatively state that Richard is going to appear in the upcoming 22 Jump Street, he did not say that on the show.  In fact, they tried hard to steer him in that direction and he just kept going back to statements like, "I know it's being discussed."  Whether that's because it's an open question or because he's not allowed to talk about it is anybody's guess, but you did not miss a big announcement.

Other highlights:

• The boys run down a list of women they want to know whether Richard has "hooked up" with.  He denies nearly everyone and they don't seem to believe him.
• Richard talks about working with Andrew Dice Clay on Point Doom; apparently, there's not much point in bringing your script.
• Richard describes how Gigolos came about.  You have to hear this for yourself.  It's interesting, but it's also highly entertaining because...well...sometimes he just doesn't seem to think through what he's saying.  It's a good thing he doesn't seem to give a damn what anyone thinks.
• Apologies to those of you who arrived here by Googling things like "what kind of woman does Richard Grieco like?"): Richard makes a casual, passing reference to his girlfriend--the first such reference I've seen/heard since I started this blog.
• Absolutely loved that when asked whether he watched Honey Boo Boo, it was obvious that he had no idea what in the hell the interviewer was talking about.

This only scratches the surface; this one is well worth a listen.  If you're not busy, you should just click this link and listen to it right now:  http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rockydennisface01/2013/05/24/peter-weller-richard-grieco-live-on-matty-p-radio-happy-hr
