Two Guys From Hollywood

S2E16 - Season 2 Finale - An Interview with Kevin Spirtas May 23, 2024

We've come to the end of Season 2! They discuss the ups and downs of Season 2 while, of course, reviewing some of he latest movies and television shows. Alan and Joey had been invited to the cast & crew screening of "After Forever", the Prime Video series now airing its third and final season and decided to have as their final guest, actor Kevin Spirtas, best known for paying the dashing Dr. Craig Wesley on NBC's "Days of Our Lives." Among his many credits is Nick in the slasher film Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) which, of course, is our favorite.

S2E15 - Music Man - A Conversation with Desmond Child Feb 22, 2024

Meet Desmond Child, the amazing songwriter and producer who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2008. His hits are endless and you are sure you recognize more than a few: Kiss' "I Was Made for Lovin' You"; Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' "I Hate Myself for Loving You"; Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin' on a Prayer"; Aerosmith's "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" and "Angel"; Cher's "We All Sleep Alone" and "Just Like Jesse James"; Alice Cooper's "Poison"; Michael Bolton's "How Can We Be Lovers?"; and Ricky Martin's "The Cup of Life" and "Livin' la Vida Loca", among dozens more! His demeanor is fun and the Two Guys have some great fun with him as Desmond opens up about how he broke into the business, his Cuban roots, his favorite collaborator and so much more.

S2E14 - Rant & Rave - Just Alan & Joey Dec 29, 2023

Many listeners have requested that Alan and Joey do an episode on their own, without a guest. The holidays felt like the best time not to intrude upon a guest appearance so the Two Guys sat down and ranted and raved about some of their most unfavorite things, from driving while texting, mixing and matching designer labels and the general complacency of the world! Join them so you can complain a little alongside the pros!

S2E13 - Walkaway - Conversation with Democrat defector Brandon Straka Nov 01, 2023

Interview with Brandon Straka - interesting and a little combative. Born and raised in rural Nebraska and now a resident of New York City, Brandon created and promotes his #WalkAway Campaign message and his desire to bring a new awareness and understanding to the reality of politics in America today. He left his hatred for Trump and the Democratic party and "walked away" to the MAGA Republicans where he claims his mission is to unify America. We thought his message, while interesting, was a bit extreme in that he feels to fix America means burning the government to the ground. The most interesting takeaway here is that we agreed with Brandon on many topics and it was clear we wanted many of the same things despite our opposing party affiliations. We just felt there was a different way of achieving the goals than "walking away."

S2E12 - The Real T & Me : Two Decades with Tina Turner - A Conversation with Eddy Armani Oct 17, 2023

Exclusive interview with the author of THE REAL T AND ME: Two Decades of Love, Life, and Friendship with Tina Turner, which is publishing for the first time in North America on the same day this podcast premieres. At a young age Eddy used to pray he would become Tina's best friend and, years later, through perseverance and ingenuity, he met Ike & Tina Turner when he was only 14 years old and started their fan club. Then he lived through the tumultuous breakup of their marriage and became Tina's personal assistant, confidant, travel companion, and eventually became the person who created her new look as she broke into mega-stardom on her own. His story is, without a doubt, the most honest and intimate access to the private side of this international rock superstar and you will come away loving her even more!

S2E11 - Blowback - An Interview with Whistleblower Miles Taylor Sep 14, 2023

It all started with an anonymous piece in the NY Times in 2018 from a high source inside the Trump administration who revealed publicly what Trump's cabinet members were saying privately - that the President was unstable and unfit for office. While serving in top roles in the Department of Homeland security, Taylor had witnessed shocking acts of corruption that led him, with the support of other high ranking Republicans within the administration, to write the essay and, later, a book about his observations. Now, Miles, under his own name, has published a second book which appeared on the NY Times Bestseller List. We had the opportunity to speak with this conservative patriot and ask about some of the things he saw and why he's so concerned about Trump's, or a facsimile, return to the oval office. We also pressed him on what he does and doesn't like about the new direction of the GOP and the Biden administration. It sounds like a sobering episode and much of it is but, you know the Two Guys. They are not going to allow the destruction our of democracy to get in the way of humor and, surprisingly, this serious author blended right in. Anderson Cooper and Kanye West on the Stink list. Why?

S2E10 - Drawing Directors - A Conversation with Randal Kleiser Aug 31, 2023

Randal Kleiser, the film and television director, producer, screenwriter and sometime actor is best known for directing the 1978 musical romantic-comedy film Grease, among some other iconic films you may remember, such as The Blue Lagoon, Summer Lovers and Big Top Pee Wee to name a few. He has a new book out which is charming titled Drawing Directors and Randal has drawn each of the illustrations live in the presence of these directors without their knowledge. He joins us in the studio to tell us what this is all about. We also discuss his films, his past, his present, his passions and what he has coming up! He's a charming man with some great Hollywood stories. And, as usual, the Two Guys are causing a ruckus and saying something wildly politically incorrect. Watch out Lizzo!

S2E9 - Club 90: The Sisterhood of Sex - A Conversation with Jane Hamilton, Veronica Vera and Robin Leonardi Aug 19, 2023

Five women had no idea they were about to form a pornography sorority — a sisterhood that would change their careers, their lives and eventually, the way much of the public viewed people who work in porn. There was the "superstar" turned mom, Jane Hamilton aka Veronica Hart. The Jewish, artsy, exhibitionist, Annie Sprinkle, who claimed to have had sex with more than 3500 men. The former Girl Scout, Candida Royalle, an aspiring actress who was exiled from ballet at age 15 because she was too curvaceous. Veronica Vera, the girl with the strict Catholic upbringing who had a great sexual curiosity. And Gloria Leonard, the "nice Jewish girl" who had been a Wallstreet stockbroker and ended up taking on Larry Flynt and Bob Guccione as the publisher of her own High Society magazine. Join us as we speak to Vera, Jane and Gloria's daughter, Robin, about this "club" and why it was formed as we take a stroll back to 70's porn!

S2E8 - The Dog Bites Back: An Interview with Dog the Bounty Hunter and Francie Chapman Jul 18, 2023

A world EXCLUSIVE 40 minute interview with Duane Chapman, aka Dog the Bounty Hunter, and his wife Francie, (specifically talking about the accusations thrown at Dog) after the couples appearance on a Facebook Live show to promote their upcoming appearance at a church in Washington state. Alan Nevins (a past but longtime manager of Duane and Beth Chapman), and his co-host, Joey Santos, had lots of questions for the duo about their remarks, especially since the press promoted his outburst as a "homophobic rant" and a threat against failed Bud Light promoter Dylan Mulvaney. The video went viral hitting news outlets across the country. The co-hosts point out that the person who was inferred in the appearance does not identify as gay but as a transgendered woman. Both podcast hosts have their own annoyances with how the press handled the announcement. The interview gets heated on both sides, especially when talking about Christianity vs. “Hypo-Christianity” and how homosexuality is interpreted by the Christian faith and the various mis-interpretations found in the bible itself. The hosts breakdown the Facebook interview piece by piece so that the audience can understand how Duane and Francie’s remarks might have been taken out of context. The “Two Guys” insist that in a world where no one “listens and learns” everyone deserves the chance to at least be heard! Many will find this interview enlightening but certainly will be shocked by what Dog and Francie ultimately say about Dylan Mulvaney and gays. They stand by their faith and are unapologetic for how they want to live their lives and their perspective on the world around them. .

S2E7 - The Queen of Versailles: A Conversation with Jackie Siegel May 19, 2023

She’s known as “The Queen of Versailles” and her Orlando estate, inspired by The Palace of Versailles outside of Paris, is the largest house in America. Enduring years of construction, destruction and reconstruction it truly has become not only a (very costly) labor of love, but the ultimate mission impossible to finish! This modern day “queen” is no Marie-Antoinette. She is not serving “cake”! Find out exactly what this star of The Queen of Versailles Reigns Again is serving as her life is about to become a Broadway musical starring Kristin Chenowith. She opens up about the house, her husband's health scare and the death of their teenage daughter. The boys discuss the movie Mafia Mamma and the Michael J. Fox documentary, Still. And things get a little catty as the conversation turns to Jeff Lewis of Flipping Out.

S2E6 - The Blond Strikes Back - A Conversation with Morgan Fairchild Mar 27, 2023

You know Morgan Fairchild from Dallas, Flamingo Road, Friends, Roseanne and many other television shows and theater work she has appeared in for many years. We think you probably don't know this side of Morgan - the science nerd! We dove into Morgan's other life and her fascination with all things science and what she describes as her moral obligation to share her knowledge, especially in the 80's when she was the first Hollywood personality to get involved with AIDS. She is beautiful, smart and funny - no "blond" here! And of course, this week's "reviews" by Alan & Joey of movies, TV and bad clothes!

Hear their story, learn how they did it.

S2E4 - KISS and Tell - A Conversation with Gene Simmons Dec 30, 2022

After a forced 3 week break, Alan explains what happened with some sad news. But that doesn't keep the duo from skewering or praising their latest media consumption. Then things turn for the very funny when they bring Gene Simmons into the fold, which took the Two Guys by surprise. Also known as his stage persona, The Demon, he is the bassist and co-lead singer of KISS, the hard-rock band he co-founded in the early 1970's. Well known for his intelligence and bad-boy behavior, he proves himself here - wild, funny, crass and generally over the top as he opens up about the band's farewell tour, money, marriage, a few choice words about his fallen band members, and the time he spent dating Cher and Diana Ross. As you can imagine, the Two Guys loved it!

S2E3 - Cancel Culture - A Conversation with Melissa Rivers Dec 02, 2022

Who didn't love the iconic Joan Rives and her style of humor which dominated the airwaves for decades. With the new "cancel culture" how would Joan have navigated these waters? Luckily, Joan left an incredible ambassador behind in her daughter, Melissa, and we discuss her mom alongside her new and very funny book, LIES MY MOTHER TOLD ME. And, as always, Joey and Alan discuss some of the things that annoy them and, as always, catch up on their entertainment intake, especially the Dahmer series since Alan represented Lionel Dahmer's book A FATHER'S STORY.

Mr. Hackford has been an active member of the Directors Guild of America for over 40 years, including twice as elected President of the DGA, beginning in 2009.

S2E1 - Politics & Politeness - A Conversation with Michael Fanone Nov 17, 2022

They’re back! Two Guys From Hollywood returns for Season Two. Continuing with their unique brand of humor for this grab-bag pop culture podcast, the Hollywood based literary agent, Alan Nevins and his longtime friend, celebrity chef & columnist, Joey Santos, return in their second season premier. It's a shocking, no holds barred interview with Michael Fanone, the officer nearly beaten to death on January 6th at the U.S. Capital who then later testified on national television for the Senate Investigative Committee. The two hosts have captured a side of this conservative Republican and self proclaimed redneck that has yet been seen on any of the news networks promoting Fanone's new bestselling book, HOLD THE LINE. Often touching and passionate yet done with style, humor and respect that ultimately creates a bond between these three men which feels like you’ve dropped in on their dinner conversation. As in season one, we open with Joeys signature cocktail creation, and then the conversation quickly turns to opinionated observations by Fanone about how the most powerful people in government disrespected law enforcement and the hypocrisy of the members of Congress. No one is spared here from the 24 hour news networks to “lunatic” Marjorie Taylor Greene, “Miss” Lindsey Graham and “Trump’s Bottom Bitches”. You’ve probably not heard an interview quite like this!

FRANK SINATRA. Come Fly with Me, My Way, Fly Me to the Moon...these are all classic songs by an icon that we know and love.

FRANK SINATRA is to this day one of the most influential and iconic musicians to grace this planet, and on this week’s episode, Alan and Joey are talking to a man that knew him better than most – TONY OPPEDISANO.

Tony’s new and poignant book SINATRA AND ME: IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS, publishes this very week, and Two Guys from Hollywood is giving you an EXCLUSIVE look into his world. This book has been decades in the making - ever since Tony promised Frank that one day he’d right the wrongs said about him in the press, and share the real stories. In this incredible episode, Tony shares inside stories about Frank, their time together, and what it was like to walk, live and drink alongside one of the greatest musicians to ever perform. Tony addresses Frank's career, his marriages, his fears, his dreams, and gives us his opinion on the answer to a highly controversial question: is Ronan Farrow Frank Sinatra’s son? From the man who knew all Frank’s secrets, you’ll have to listen to believe it. Tony is a natural-born storyteller and his memory is extremely sharp, which is why he is the perfect guest for our theme today: Secrets in the Small Hours.

EP.20: Murder! Scandal! Conspiracy! - A Conversation with Suzanne Finstad May 25, 2021

Buckle up! This week Alan and Joey are talking to acclaimed author, journalist and biographer Suzanne Finstad about one of our juiciest themes to date: HOLLYWOOD UNCOVERED. There are many famous murders, scandals and conspiracies that are sewn within the fabric of Hollywood as we know it today, and this week, we’re diving into a few that Suzanne knows everything about. Remember Howard Hughes? Well, he died “without an heir” and at the tender age of 20, Suzanne’s first job at a law firm was to find those related to him to get an idea of who would inherit all his money. What Suzanne found was layer upon layer of cover-ups, illegal activity, and lies that, if exposed, would put major players in jail all the way up to the White House. Days before she was to testify in court, she was beaten in her home and left for dead. Now, she’s telling the story that WASN’T included in her book, HEIR NOT APPARENT. We then jump to the infamous relationship between Elvis and a then 14-year-old Priscilla Presley, all detailed in her book CHILD BRIDE. Why the taboo title? You’ll have to listen to find out. Suzanne’s latest book, THE COMPLETE BIOGRAPHY OF NATALIE WOOD, includes detailed, well researched - and quite honestly shocking - new pages that reveal the truth about what happened that night on the boat with Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken. Was her death really an accident? Or one of the biggest cover-ups Hollywood has ever participated in? As always, we have a guest-inspired cocktail of the week! This week enjoy the LEMON BURST.

Our guest this week knows all about this process - planting a seed and watching it grow into something spectacular - and he is Iginio Straffi, joining all the way from Italy. Iginio is the head of Rainbow Studios and the creator of the hit animated series WINX CLUB and the recent live action remake FATE: THE WINX SAGA which took Netflix by storm earlier this year. Who doesn’t love a dark academia fairy magic show?? Iginio explains the seed of this idea, and how he always knew it would become a franchise with a live-action adaptation. He talks about his process, his company, and his vision early on for the WINX cannon, and why it came to fruition. And don’t worry, of course we asked him about the highly anticipated season 2!

Between stories about the creation of “Everybody Loves Raymond” to the importance of enriching your life with travel, Alan, Joey and Phil have a hilarious conversation about Phil’s journey to success within Hollywood, and how the world might be a better place if we just solved our problems over a dinner table. And of course, there’s a cocktail of the week! This week, enjoy THE MAZEL-TINI, a cocktail created by Joey in honor of Phil and the holidays we didn’t get to celebrate together. And if you’re intrigued by the idea of a Jewish Pizza, you’re in luck. Find the full recipes and more on @twoguysfromhollywood on Instagram, and @TGFHPodcast on Twitter and Facebook.

EP.1: Friendships - A conversation with Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs Jan 12, 2021

In the first episode of the Two Guys From Hollywood podcast we meet our hosts Alan Nevins and Joey Santos. Alan is a literary agent in Los Angeles and Joey is a columnist and celebrity chef. Alan and Joey have been friends for over 30 years and the hilarious duo aren't afraid to call each other out. Having grown up in Hollywood they both bring a unique perspective not only on the current state of the industry and the people in it, but on how it has evolved. Alan and Joey discuss their friendship, “Hollywood” friendships in general, and give a summary of their careers. Later in the discussion, Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs - two of the stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey - join the conversation to enlighten listeners about their relationship and how it evolved over a couple tumultuous seasons on the show. They each share what the general public doesn’t really know about them, including their “enemies to friends” story, and they give us a rare glimpse into their personal lives as mothers, partners and best friends. Oh, and of course there’s a cocktail of the week! This week, enjoy THE JERSEY PRINCESS, a cocktail created by Joey in honor of Dolores and Margaret. Find the full recipe @twoguysfromhollywood on Instagram, and @TGFHPodcast on Twitter and Facebook.
