HOLY CRAP! I never realized how much work transcribing something like this would be. Here's through to 3:40, and this interview goes for 40 minutes! My intention is to complete it bit by bit by adding to comments, but I don't know if I'll make it...

KP= Kevin Pollak
JM= Joe Mantegna

KP: I had been told by fellow actors and actresses what to expect. I like to do a little recon work, a little research on my costars, and the

director, people I'm gonna be working with. Especially on location. We shot this film in... Vancouver? Or was it Toronto? Yea, it was

Vancouver. I got nothing but this is the nicest guy in show business, and ya know, and for me personally who's a life long cynic devotee I

don't want to hear "Nicest person in the world" I wanna hear crazy rip torn s--t. And I kept hearing from everyone "he's an angel". And I

said, "Like Tom Hanks? Cause that's really annoying" and they said, "Yep, he's that nice." And then I worked with him (swallows) and found

out that they were all lying and setting me up, that he actually is Satan incarnate. No, not only is he extremely gifted but pretty much an

angel and everyone who knows him will pretty much go on ad-nauseam about him and they are all telling the truth is the unfortunate...
So, if you have any questions for Joe Montegna plese feel free to pop them up to twitter.com as well as the chat room. We will be taking

your questions so let them fly. I know introduce my second guest todays show, please welcome to our studios, as he goes around the camera

this time, yes, not in front of it; Mr Joe Montegna. Hi buddy.

JM: How you doing?

KP: I saw you uh *clapping, whistleing* Yea the crew just loves they... "oh, this is our chance to make noise"

JM: Um Hmm

KP: Okay, so you were out there, I'll waste just 90 seconds of your interview time, How many times during the past 40 minutes did you wanna

just bolt? (Implying Joe was thinking) I've gotta get the hell outta here.

JM: No.. I was watching. It was cool.

KP: I figured you were watching, I said God I hope Joe is still out there.

JM: It's all new to me, ya know, even computers, twitters, and all this. I'm crude.

KP: Where are you on that?

JM: I'm crude, I do.. I email, I do all that stuff. I don't do facebook I don't do... My daughter tells me that I'm on facebook but... I

don't ... It's not me. I didn't put it up there.

KP: There's a fake one?

JM: Yea, I guess.. I guess people can just do that they just put your picture up there...

KP: Yes, they can.

JM: and act as if they are you. It's not me.

KP: No.

JM: But that's okay. Whatever, but I'm intrigued by it all, and just tonight I learned about twitter

KP: Did Gaffigan sign you on?

JM: No... I, well yea he signed me on and then I went to the tutorial.

KP: yes.

JM: And that kinda tells you, Welcome! This is twitter, What is twitter?

KP: Yea.

JM: It's like, wow, okay, wow cool. So I mean, I'm embrasing the twenty first century.

KP: Slowly but surely?

JM: Slowly but gently... (nods in agreement)

KP: It may not be for you, I'll tell you why: It's a haven for a narcissist and you don't represent that world very well. Sorry. Sorry to say (laughing)

JM: (Laughing)

KP: But, um... here's the great side of it as I may have explained to you out there: I was looking for a high def camcorder, and I was coming out of a cave. I had no idea where to go. And I just "tweeted", that's the first thing you should learn: tweet, the verb twitter the noun. I tweeted "Hey I'm looking for a high def camcorder" and within 7 minutes 75 people said "try this one" with a link to a website. Not one of them selling the thing that really blew my mind. Just an actual community, that part of it is pretty amazing. And then also just musings.
