What's the worst note a director has ever given you? Tense up. You know, do it like you did it in another movie. Then I feel like telling them, you know what? You know, what did you get another job? You know what I mean? It's just like, you can't ask me to do something I did before. That's like cheating on somebody. You know what I mean? It's like, no, Let's come up with your own idea. Prepare your ears, humans.

Happy, sad, confused begins now.

Hey guys, today on Happy, Sad, Confused, one of the greats, a first-time guest on the podcast,

the one and only John Turturro. He can do it all, comedy, drama, theater, film, TV, talking

severance and his entire career with me. Hey guys, thanks as always for checking out. My little old

podcast, Happy, said, confused. It took a while to get him. I don't know how it took this long,

but here he is. Today's main event is John Gertrero.

Great opportunity to chat with him at 92nd Street Y, a live event,

keying off of his recent Emmy-nominated performance in Severance, season two.

He was nominated for the first season.

This is a great chat.

More on that in a second. First up, as I always want to remind you guys, if you haven't yet checked out our Patreon, please do, because that's where we put all of this stuff early before anybody else can see it. Access to live events, merch, autograph, posters, all sorts of cool stuff, depending on the tier level you want to try out. It helps us make more stuff here. So go to patreon.com slash happy, say I confused.

Give it a shot. Why not? We've been making podcasts for over 11 years now.

So, you know, every little bit helps make more of the fun stuff over here.

Okay. Speaking of fun stuff, this is such a fun event we had. Oh my God, this was a New York event at the 9th 2nd Street

Y. As I said, first time he's ever done the podcast. John Turturo, I mean, this guy has done

everything. I say it in his introduction, but I'll just say it here quickly.

You know, when I started to love film in the 80s and the 90s, I mean, this guy was everywhere.

He's still everywhere. But really then was when he was discovered and championed and had this amazing symbiotic relationship with Spike Lee, you know,

starting to do the right thing and just being in all these films.

The Cone brothers, you know, Barton Fink, Miller's Crossing the Big Lobosky, oh, brother,

where art thou?
