Jim and Greg welcome acclaimed actor, director, and singer Robert Davi to sip three martinis. Today, they discuss Davi's role in the new biopic of Ronald Reagan, what it's like for him as a conservative in Hollywood, and his unforgettable performance as Special Agent Johnson in "Die Hard."

First, they discuss how Davi got involved in the Reagan movie project nine years ago and how he deeply researched his role as former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. Davi also explains why he wanted to be part of the film, how the media mocked and attacked Reagan much more at the time than they will admit now, and more.

Next, Davi shares what it's like to be a conservative in Hollywood and how becoming more publicly supportive of conservatives and Republicans curiously coincided with a sudden decrease in opportunities to act and direct. He also takes us inside his recent film, "My Son Hunter" about Hunter Biden, the approach he took to directing it, and why many people discovered the film was far different than they expected it to be.

Then, of course, they spotlight Davi's very memorable role in "Die Hard" and why the film endures more than most action movies. And you will not want to miss Davi's hilarious story about watching the "Die Hard" for the first time alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger - complete with his perfect impression of Arnold.

Finally, Jim and Davi discuss their expectations for tomorrow night's presidential debate.
