:02:01
The biggest fool that's
ever hit the big time

:02:05
And all I got to do
is act naturally

:02:14
Arnold liked pictures.
:02:17
I mean, that's, let's face it.
:02:18
He liked pictures.
:02:20
Well, we're here.
:02:21
This is it, the whole
family assembled.

:02:23
Everybody in
Great Neck, New York.

:02:38
We had three sons.
:02:40
David, being the oldest
:02:43
had a lot of responsibility
when he was young.

:02:47
Seth was an outright rebel.
:02:53
And somehow, Jesse
was just like the

:02:56
the one that keeps
trying to catch up

:02:59
and doesn't quite make it.
:03:04
I have very good memories
of the, of my, well,

:03:09
I have very good memories
of my childhood.

:03:12
I had a great time growing up.
:03:14
I had a great time
because of my friends.

:03:17
And my father was great.
:03:20
I mean, he may not have
been the best father,

:03:23
but he went to
Columbia University.

:03:28
And then when he graduated,
he went to the Catskills

:03:30
to play in his band.
:03:35
The Jazzbo Mambo
:03:37
With a boogie beat
:03:38
Is the newest dance
on 52nd Street

:03:42
The band was called Arnito Rey
and his Orchestra.

:03:45
My father's name
was Arnold Friedman.

:03:47
This was in the late
40's and early '50s.

:03:49
So he played Latin music.
:03:50
It was very big at the time,
:03:51
and so he changed
his name to Arnito Rey.

:03:53
We'll do a Jazzbo Mambo
8 to the bar

:03:57
I don't know.
:03:59
My dad was a cool guy, you know?
