Michael Imperioli is back for a 3rd time on Really Famous. This time we did it in front of an audience of friends, family and fans of Really Famous and Michael. It was A BLAST. I loved it. There's a lot to explain, and I do it in the intro. Enjoy. Here, a sample of interesting things Michael says during the show: “I got really addicted to the news. Then at some point I realized, ‘Oh wow…they really want you to be addicted. They're a business. They want you to sit there as long as possible.’” “I question all those things. I don’t know.

I’ve done that a lot of times, but actually going somewhere and talking about how we view the world is really interesting and engaging.” “I don’t like looking back so much. I really like looking forward. Like if I’m on a train facing the wrong way, I’ll get sick.” “David Chase actually said he doesn’t think ther
