“No, I know. I know. It was uncomfortable too because he loved me so much. Listen, dude, my grandpa did more than just trade his plumbing things. He took me to auditions. They used to hire me to go work in the malls. And he got me like these gigs where they would pay me 20 bucks an hour. And then I would go to the mall with a guitar player. And I would like busk. I guess it's busking is what it is, right? And I would go or outside I'd busk at Grandville Island or places and he would just sit. And I loved it, man. I didn't care who was listening, where I was. I did.”

“Exactly the same And I think it was like it had to be you. I sound like that. I sound exactly like that. The same way. And what's weird is like it wasn't like I put on an effect. That's how the voice sounded. And my buddies used to make fun of me. I have one of my best friends, Brad, would be in the bus. And he goes, there's Boobla singing with that fake voice again. And even today, and he's still one of my back, literally, one of my best friends. And we're drinking beer. And he's like, shut up, man. And he loves to sing too.”

“You sure. You know what I mean? Absolutely. And thank God there wasn't the voice of American Idol. Because if I was 13, I would have been in the shower saying, hey, Sam, check this out. Um...”

“Being on stage, I would fantasize about seeing them in front of the crowd. Every shower was another opportunity to go and fucking kill Madison Square Garden and, you know, know that that crowd in the shower was just loving.”

“Oh, dude, even before that. For me, music was, it wasn't even a question. It was It was a defining part of my essence of me. Like I Everything I did was music, was just, you know, a fascination. And it's funny when many times parents will go like, my daughter is fourteen and she's, and do you have advice? You know, she wants to be a singer. And I have advice. And it's like, listen to as much music and all of it, like go across the board of every genre and download it and process it and steal all of it. Steal the best parts of all of it and you will find yourself. But another thing I always say is fantasize. Like, dude, that is for me. I would fantasize about”

“That Nack King Hole is that unbelievable What's wrong? How could they, how does Samoa's not here Elephit Fitzgerald and just shit a brick and realize that is stupid? That's just too good or that that gorgeous orchestral arrangement of that song and those horns doing that thing and that swinging, like I know hip-hop is great, but no that beat that I just heard in that Dre song, that isn't close to being as fat as the one I just heard backing up Bobby Darren in Mac the Knife. Like that's smoking. I knew.”

“He was my hero is my hero. 13 years old, we were always best friends. I don't know why. You know, you know, dude, sometimes certain people you connect. And it's like you were made for each other. And that was my best buddy. We talked about hockey. And we talked about music and even at a young age, I was fascinated by the great American songbook. I was just, I didn't know I didn't understand, and I remember being confused why I was the only one too. How could other people not? Understand”

“I just took a big breath and I said, like, wow, Grandpa, okay, this is us, man. This is us, and I always think about my kids and say, like, okay, be strong. Don't let your kids ever see you weak. Don't let your kids ever see you scared. And weirdly, it just brought this. Wonderful calm over me and um Really nice, man. It just bought me calm and I went out there and I thought I killed it. I thought I was very charming.”

“Grandpa Mitch. Grandpa Mitch, yeah. Huge. Huge, massive. As a matter of fact, yesterday I did one of the probably scarier things that you can do in this entertainment business. I was asked to be a surprise guest to sing a song as a tribute to Barry Gibbon the BGs in his induction into the Kennedy Center honors, which I think is, in my opinion, maybe, if not the pinnacle, one of the pinnacles of Americans celebrating culture. But weirdly enough, my grandpa, he passed away five years ago yesterday. And so more than anything, I was standing backstage. I could hear my introduction. And I was like, my mouth was dry. My heart, I could hear my heart beating in my ear.”

“and just crying, you know, missing him so much. And this was the closest thing that I would get to him. And it's crazy that as life went on, I became, dude, I'm him. Like thank Jesus. Thank God I'm him. But I turned out to be my dad.”

“So, what I was saying about you were asking about my father, dude, my dad used to carry a sock full of quarters, and every two weeks he'd come into port, and he'd wait in line at a payphone. And then he'd call. And then he used to, oh man, it makes me emotional. And I do the same thing now, but he used to, he would leave notes, and he'd hide them everywhere. And so he'd be gone for like a month or something, and you'd go into a drawer to go get your, you know, pencils and papers. And then you'd see the note I remember being like seven, eight years old, and I don't know if you ever did this stuff or maybe I'm just a weird kid, but I remember like holding his clothes.”

“I was on the Graham Norton show and Matthew McConaughey was a guest and I was so excited. And Graham was like, why are you so excited? Everyone loves McConaughey. He said, oh, no, no, no. I love McConnell because my wife would hate it. But every night I listen, ha, it's Matthew. I got a sleep story for you. And I would like listen every night and I was like, Matthew, you sleep with my wife and I. This is Michael, and tonight in this sleep story. And the kids just go”

“Oh man, of course I missed my dad. I remember used to, and you know, it's interesting because I am so lucky to have been born when I was born because my nights on tour away from them, like tonight. I mean, last night, for example, last night was doing a Zoom. And they put their iPad in the room, and I sat with them and I watched a Christmas movie. And they ate popcorn, and Poppy was there. I was just there. I was, you know, they were walking around and wrestling. And it's really strange to say this, but I did this thing. Have you ever heard of Calm?”

“I answer it by, well, I don't just answer it. With language, I answer it with action. So I have probably made my tours. I would say financially, maybe one of the most irresponsible tours in all of touring. So I started a rule where I said, I will do three weeks on, two weeks off, two weeks on, two weeks off, so that I could come back. Or I would literally sit with my wife and she's a tremendous actress, you know, and she has a great career. And I know how fulfilled she is by it. And so I would say to her, let's sit down at the beginning, you and your manager Peppo and me and my manager, Bruce, and let's go through the calendar. So when are you making those two films? Okay, June, July, I'm done. I come with you. And it can't happen if I tour in a financially responsible way.”

“For sure. Yeah, which is something that we understood and it's interesting because who knew that after leaving that life and having that thing where your father's gone quite a bit would be the life that I ended up leading, you know, where I had to be gone quite a bit. And the only difference was... I could say, Dad, why are you leaving? And he would say, son? This is my job. This is how I put food on the table. This is how This is how dad pays for a house and for the holidays that we go on and everything. And it changed for me after a certain amount of success because my kids would say poppy, why are you going? I couldn't say, you know, it's to pay, to put food on the table, you know, because obviously it was. We passed that point, got very lucky.”

“I didn't. And so instead it took all of these incredible people just loving me and going, yeah, let's go. I mean, I was shocked. I was a fisherman. You know, my great-grandfather immigrated from Italy. He was a shipbuilder. My grandfather was a commercial sane salmon fisherman on a sane boat.”

“Even deciding, you know, I want to be a singer. This is where I'm going to do it 13, 14. By the time I was 16, my grandfather was already taking me to nightclubs. And when I started playing in the nightclubs at 1819, they were full. And I was raw, but they were full, full. And people were like, who is this kid? Like, why did, how did he fill up Babaloos? Or how did he fill up the purple onion? Or how did he fill up this theater? Well, they didn't know, but it was my cousins and aunts and my grandparents and my mom calling all our friends and saying, come to the club. So this was a strange family affair because we had no connections. I wish I had nepotism to lean on. But”

“While the environment was probably having the most incredible family, and everybody says that, everybody says, and of course, that's beautiful that people always think their family is the most special. But if you met them, you'd like them all more than me. And then for me personally, I think being the first child who got way too much attention, you know, probably got told like, you're amazing and you're good at every and like it's probably the reason I talk so much. But everything I am. Everything I have, every decision I make, is based on”

“Have a holly jolly Christmas. Everything I did was music. I would listen to Frank Sinatra with Bobby Darren, Dean Martin. Emulate them and then I would steal it all because if you steal from one person you're just a thief but when you steal from everybody it's research but there's 10 years of clubs 10 years of every agent saying the exact same thing we will never sign you but the reason I didn't stop in those 10 years was because if the right person sees me I am one of the greatest entertainers on earth. I play 50,000 people and if there's one looking at their watch I will play to that man I'm not leaving here until I break you. But in a moment My son's cancer diagnosis was a sledgehammer to my reality. And I remember saying to myself, if we get out of this. If we get out of this, I'm living a different life.”
