1 Dads is recorded in front a live studio audience.
It's 9:00am.
Why are you guys eating spaghetti? Uh, we're trying to get inspiration for our mafia game.
Well, how's it going? Not-a so good.
You know, the problem is you guys are a couple of rich kids from the suburbs.
You probably never committed a crime in your life.
Uh, that's not true.
From to 2000 to 2005, I stole every piece of music ever created.
And I once slandered ke$ha on an Internet message board by implying she was involved in sex acts using her "a, dollar sign, dollar sign.
" As edgy and dangerous as you guys are, I think we should hire a consultant who knows what he's talking about.
What do you mean? Like-like somebody who's actually in the mafia? That's a really good idea.
No, it's not.
Yeah, it is.
Don't you remember all the fun we had with the Nazis we got for kill Hitler? Hey, you know, maybe we should develop our driving game with Lindsay Lohan.
Sounds like more of a drinking game.
You know, you guys, I think I might be able to help you find a consultant.
I happen to have had a friend that was in the mafia.
His name is Johnny Johnny Desalvo Desalvo.
Dad, how do you know somebody in the mafia? We tried to set up a series of Alzheimer clinics for elderly Italians called fuhgeddaboudit.
Wha what happened? To what? Fuhgeddaboudit.
Okay, I will.
Jeez, you brought it up.
Daddy took me to the zoo Na, na, na, na Just to see something brand-new Na, na, na So many stars up in the sky So many questions have I Na, na, na, na Daddy took me for a ride.
I-I just don't want somebody from the mafia in the office, you know? What-what if he makes us an offer we can't refuse? Or-or worse, we can't understand? Oh, I-I watched an episode of sopranos last night, so don't worry, I got the lingo down.
Oh, the gagoots on that doorman, huh? I wanted to give him a cuestamarole upside his scaputo.
Yeah.
He said he's gonna have pizza for dinner.
Johnny, this is my son, Warner.

Uh, hey, thank you so much for consulting on our game.
I'm Eli, Warner's business partner.
What are you, in kindergarten? Well, he's all yours.

How do you like it? Up against the hanging meats in the back of the deli, but my coffee I'll take black.
Wow.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for-for coming down to help us.
M-my dad might have told you that we're working on a game, uh, about the, uh About the mafia.
Mafia? You think because I'm Italian- American, I'm in the mafia? Wha well, a-aren't you? Yeah.
But the point is: Don't make assumptions.
So, San Francisco, huh? So, what are you, like, a bunch of fruit loops? No.
Hey, guys.
Not all of us.
You know, I think we should get to work on the game so that Mr.
Desalvo can get back to the family His family.
The-the, uh, normal, uh, wife and kid The, uh, non I'm so sorry.
Take a deep breath there, lady pants.
Now, just so you know, I only got one rule: I do not answer any questions.
Any questions? Okay, good.
Now, first thing, do not make all these mob guys into stereotypical jerks.
Hey, eggroll, start typing.
Then the player finds out that this magarole's been skimming off the top.
So Tony "I Did Your Sister" Martelli makes him go for a ride.
uh, what do you mean? They they kill him? What part of "go for a ride" do you not understand? Yes, badafootz.
What if you actually want to go for a ride? What am I, a dog with my head out the window? Wow, your information is so well-defined, it almost makes you think this stuff really happened.
Are you wearing a wire? No, I don't wear wires and I don't carry pennies, 'cause Mexicans will strip you for the copper.
Mr.
Desalvo, thank you so much for your help.
I mean, the game really feels authentic now.

Tell me about it.
I've had this string tied around my finger for two months.
Somebody's walking around unstrangled I don't know.
Eli, what exactly is your plan when we get there? I don't know.
Do you think we can lure them into a house of mirrors? Why do I have to come? He's not my son.
Crawford, Johnny's your friend.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, you don't think he'd actually hurt Warner, right? I don't know.

Now I can sit around whacking in my pajamas all day.
I got to get a computer.
Wait, Mr.

Doesn't that mean you owe him one? I suppose it does, my little lotus blossom.
Warner, you can have your company back.

You're a good man, and I'm proud to call you friend.
Come here.
Isn't anybody gonna do anything? Hey! You bet on the bucks and you lost, you scumbag.
So just sit still, and somebody will be there to whack you shortly.
Hey, you gambrozzis, I'm meatball, the talking meatball, and I'm in a video game.
