The Heart of David is back. Not only do we have
0:02
the old classic selection, but we got a new drop called
0:04
Pray for Your Friends. The number one important thing God wants
0:06
us to do is love thy God with all of your
0:08
heart, but the second one is love thy neighbor. The best
0:10
way that you could love them is to pray for them.
0:14
This is my new favorite T-shirt. Church boy right here and
0:16
look at the bag, very clean, very nice. I'm not gonna
0:18
lie, I never really wear like white or cream style hoodies,
0:20
but this is just a vibe, dude. This is like, hey,
0:22
how you doing? I like you and I know you like
0:25
me, because I look good. If you like any of these
0:27
options, make sure you guys go to theheartofdavid.co or click the
0:29
link in my description. I love you guys, make sure you
0:31
get it before it's too late and it's gone and like
0:33
the sun, it's going away, hurry up. It
0:37
might be hard for the audience to understand this because when
0:39
you're in show business, they don't see the joke when you're
0:41
building it, they see the joke when it's ready to go.
0:43
But with those jokes come the actual real pain that you
0:46
go through. How do you deal with it? Cry? Uh,
0:49
drink? Really? You find
0:51
ways to deal. But that can't be healthy. It
0:53
can't, and it's not. Did you catch yourself drinking
0:55
a lot because of that? Yes, still. I still
0:57
deal with the situation of people coming into my
0:59
life and people leaving my life. A lot of
1:02
relationships are affected because we do this. And if
1:04
you're not careful, you know, people do
1:06
get hurt. There's
1:12
more often I sit down with somebody and they say
1:14
something that makes me think. Bro, this was great. I
1:16
love you guys. I love you guys. You give me
1:18
something to think about. I
1:20
had a lot of fun on this interview. You
1:23
should just have a show called Before We Get Started
1:25
and then every like five minutes say, listen, before we
1:27
get started, and it's just
1:29
an ongoing thing. Keep going, keep going with it. And
1:32
it's like, it's the best conversation ever. I know
1:34

2:21
of movement like people were losing their
2:24
minds that you showed up. My
2:26

2:29
by Eddie Murphy. As.

performances when there's a surprise? Because there's
4:07
less pressure and so you're kind of
4:09
coming in into it like this is
4:11
a fun experience. There's kind of no
4:13
pressure if I disappoint anybody and
4:15
then you get that response so it gives you that extra
4:17
confidence. There is literally no pressure and all
4:19
it is, it's just bliss. It's just like
4:22
you're getting hit with everything and I'm
4:24
only doing a few minutes so I don't have to do an
4:27
hour, hour and a half, two hours. It's
4:29
literally 10 to 15 minutes and
4:32
it just came by to say
4:34
hi. Yeah, comments work out that
4:36
way. They work out their material. Are you working on
4:38
new material when you do that or are you coming
4:40
in with your best? Well,
4:42
I don't want to practice on 16,000 people so
4:45
if I'm only up there for a few minutes I'm going
4:47
to do something real. I'm going to
4:50
say hi but I'm going to, you know,
4:52
I'll do some real material. So take me
4:54
back. You started doing stand-up quite
4:57
some time ago. I know you've been in the industry for 25 years
5:00
now. When you first
5:02
started you needed to side hustle and you were
5:04
digging ditches. Who
5:07
are you digging ditches for? I know that's
5:09
random. I have to add. You
5:11
were side hustling for the cartel. What's going on?
5:13
What are you doing? We all have a past.
5:17
No, at the time I was working
5:19
for a cell phone company called LA
5:21
Cellular, like real
5:23
close by to here and I
5:27
had quit my job to pursue comedy
5:29
and I found out right away that
5:31
I wasn't doing enough to sustain
5:33
myself and so I needed
5:36
to do stuff to just make money
5:38
to pay real quick money but I
5:40
didn't want to commit to something because I had
5:42
been offered a chance to be a foreman because
5:45
I was working selling cell phones inside of
5:48
a Home Depot type store and so I met
5:50
this man who had his own business and he
5:52
goes, hey, you're really good with people. You're bilingual.
5:56
I would love to hire you and send you to
5:58
school to run my business. He goes that
6:00
cut off for you and he put it out there, you
6:03
know, he's gonna pay me very well But
6:05
it was one of those things where I told him I go I
6:08
really want to be a comedian and and if
6:10
I do that, I can't she's like let me out of the bag. I Said
6:15
I want to be a comedian and he didn't get
6:18
it But
6:20
it was one of those things It was one of those things
6:22
where when I quit the job and
6:24
I needed money I called him and he goes oh so you want
6:27
to be a foreman after all? I go. No, I need it I
6:29
need some something where I could just make
6:31
some quick cash. Yeah, he goes the only thing I
6:33
have Yes, the only thing
6:35
I have is You know
6:37
digging digging holes and trenches and stuff like that with
6:39
the guys he goes, but that's that's beneath you man
6:42
You can't be doing that. I go I need money
6:44
and so give me a shovel and next thing I know I'm out
6:47
there freaking And then
6:49
the guys out there giving me shit. They're like, you
6:51
know, they're telling me in Spanish. Oh, yeah, too Took
6:54
a blessing less. You're like, yeah, I speak English. They're
6:56
like Why are
6:58
you here they could not they could not
7:00
understand why I spoke English and why I
7:02
was legal and Wanted
7:04
to dig ditches and they're like what they're just scratching
7:06
their heads and like it's they're like well post for that
7:09
No, no, so not pizza order us a pizza since
7:11
you speak English. I'm like you
7:13
know, but I had to do
7:15
that because I did not want to commit to a job I
7:18
had already quit my day job to pursue Comedy and
7:20
I just needed cash and so they did this
7:22
at the time. I was God
7:25
what 20? What does it look
7:27
like back in that day when you're trying to do comedy because
7:29
nowadays it's I feel like comics
7:31
are they don't know how easy they have it
7:33
I Will be one for an
7:35
example like bro I could post a video and get thousands
7:37
of people to see what I'm doing or where I'm gonna
7:39
be It's kind of cheating a little bit
7:41
compared to like how people used to like really run their
7:43
hours So how are you at a 20 year old? Like
7:45
how did you want to run and go as a 20
7:48
year old? I didn't have the
7:50
tools that that comics have today So
7:52
there was no social media. You didn't
7:54
have a phone where you could just
7:56
you know Record yourself and post the video if you wanted
7:58
to record yourself you had to have a
8:01
camcorder, a video recorder, like, you
8:03
know. Yeah, like the one your mom and dad
8:05
comes out with. You had to know somebody, like,
8:08
that was the big thing back then. Oh, I
8:10
got a friend that shoots weddings. Oh, really? If
8:13
you could find a wedding dude, that was the
8:15
ultimate bad guy. That's your guy right there. That's
8:18
your guy. So you needed to find a
8:20
wedding guy that shoots videos and that had
8:22
the machine that they could put text on
8:24
the screen. You don't realize how, like, and
8:26
you thought that shit was crazy. When you
8:28
could get your name, really they'll put your
8:31
name on the text on the screen, and
8:33
not captions, but just your name. Like,
8:35
yeah. And then for bookings, I'm gonna make that.
8:37
Please, for bookings. And then, you know, so back
8:39
then, it's like, God, you really, first
8:41
of all, you had to talk to people. You
8:44
had to be good at making calls.
8:46
That's funny. Nice. I did
8:48
that with my mind. What do you do,
8:51
do you hand out flyers? Yes, you
8:53
had to, oh, you had to make
8:55
friends with an artist, somebody who could make flyers. Because
8:57
back in the day, when I was 20, the
8:59
big thing was robes, nightclubs,
9:03
going, you know, everybody was throwing parties. Were
9:05
you at raves? I was
9:07
not. That was not my thing. Okay. I
9:09
would love to see you at a rave. No, no, I went
9:11
to one. It was a one and done. I'm like, this is
9:13
not for me. I hate this. I'm going on. It
9:16
became a wave. Like, okay, I'll see you guys later. A
9:18
rave was a wave. But yeah,
9:20
back then, we didn't have any of the
9:22
tools of now, so it was very challenging.
9:24
You had to, again, make phone
9:26
calls. Remember people's names. You had to
9:28
write names down, you know,
9:31
follow up, make a phone call.
9:33
You didn't text. That wasn't an
9:35
option. You had to make a phone call.
9:38
And then you'd have to have
9:40
people vouch for you. That was the credit
9:43
back then. If you can get somebody
9:45
to call on your behalf, hey, listen. I got
9:47
this friend of mine. He's really funny. He's kind
9:49
of shy. He's going to go out
9:51
there and just give him five minutes. You'll see.
9:54
Having somebody call for you was huge back then,
9:56
and that's how you would get your foot in
9:58
the door in places. You needed to know. somebody
10:00
that knew somebody and nowadays it's
10:02
that's you know you don't just
10:05
get your phone it's like whatever do you miss
10:07
that type of day it's different I
10:09
do miss the the
10:12
connections you would have with people because it
10:15
was more so face-to-face there's a real relationship
10:17
it was a real relationship you
10:19
know and I think that things
10:21
come so easy to us on our phones that a lot
10:23
of times it's like okay I'll get back
10:26
to whenever or you know you leave somebody on the
10:28
red and you don't realize like some people take like
10:30
oh my god you left me on like it's
10:32
just back then I feel like
10:34
it was a lot of you were connected better
10:37
yeah social media made it less so and
10:40
I wish I could go back in those days because
10:42
like now you go to parties or events and every
10:44
was just on their phone nobody even cares about talking
10:46
to me yeah to me I grew up with the
10:48
Middle Eastern dad that's like how
10:51
he learned English was at Home Depot
10:53
talking to everybody like he would talk
10:55
to every single way hurt up
10:57
so you're not Mexican I'm not I
10:59
just put it up for the day I
11:02
grew up in Arizona I grew up
11:06
in Arizona so I was surrounded by
11:08
Spanish people and they the way you
11:10
guys are raised and the way we're
11:12
raised is very very much almost the
11:14
same stay out of trouble don't talk to
11:16
your mom and dad with any attitude like we would have that
11:19
common ground we would watch our white friends talk to their parents
11:21
and then just be like there's no way there's
11:23
no way my mom watched my friend talk to
11:25
his mom one day and I wasn't allowed to
11:27
hang out at their house anymore because
11:29
she was like you know that's a bad example
11:31
my neighborhood would always tell their kids well what does
11:34
mrs. janko say about that you go listen to her
11:36
and then she should set the rules so everybody would
11:38
hate me because my mom was paranoid but that's I
11:40
don't know if that's how was your relationship with your
11:42
mom I had the best relationship
11:44
with my mom my mom was just everything
11:46
so there was not a whole lot of
11:49
arguing and back and forth I
11:52
loved it very much but you know there are
11:54
those times especially when you're going through the hormonal
11:56
changes the 10 11 12 and then you know
12:00
You 16 17 18 where you you
12:02
know, it's just you're running on different hormones
12:04
And so there was a couple times where
12:06
I got a little louder than I should
12:08
have Felt
12:11
bad immediately. So, you know, like I
12:13
never I can honestly say I never
12:15
got disciplined as a kid Physically
12:18
so there was I never got hit
12:20
with a belt hit with a shoe, you know, everybody
12:23
has those stories Oh, man, I pissed on my mom
12:25
and you know back in the day cuz back in
12:27
the day It was like it was on yeah, it
12:29
was the Wild West, you know but um My
12:32
mom whenever she would get quiet that
12:34
would scare me Because I'd hear
12:36
stories from my brother and my sisters and
12:38
my brother Yeah,
12:41
my brother and sisters they they made
12:43
it very clear that like a don't
12:45
cross mom and they're like
12:47
you have a different Mom than we did.
12:49
Are you the baby? Yes, they're like,
12:52
you know, she listens to you, you
12:54
know She caters to you. She didn't cater
12:56
to us and it's just like oh, sorry
13:00
Thanks for taking over the team so I could live
13:02
this life, you know, but we were you know, we
13:04
had a great great connection
13:07
You know again, she was my hero. It was
13:10
just my mom and I so my siblings were
13:12
all grown up and out of the house By
13:14
the time I showed up. There's a huge gap
13:16
Oh what a different for those years So I
13:18
remember living with my sister for a little bit
13:20
and then she was gone doing her own thing
13:23
And so it was just my mom and I saw it's like almost being an
13:25
only child So I got all the attention. It was great and
13:27
I didn't fight with her a whole lot But
13:29
I knew better and then my mom
13:31
would always point out people in the neighborhood that were doing
13:34
things that weren't good Yeah, don't be like
13:36
that. Don't be like that. Don't be like that. Don't
13:38
be like that. What made you listen? I Don't
13:41
know. I guess maybe there was a little bit of fear, you
13:44
know, cuz my mom I'd see how my mom would
13:46
talk to other people But she
13:48
wouldn't do that to me if things
13:50
weren't going right. Yeah, and I'm like, okay
13:53
So you saw that side of her a little bit and you're
13:55
like, I don't want to get there. We're good We're friends. We
13:57
have something good going on because it was a rough neighborhood
13:59
that we lived and we lived right in the
14:01
corner. And so she would tell
14:03
me when I go outside, you stay where I can
14:05
see you, okay? You stay where I can see you.
14:07
And so she would sit in the window and she
14:10
would like crochet or whatever the hell she was doing up there. And
14:13
I'd go out and play in the street and stuff like
14:15
that. And if she saw me talking to somebody that looked
14:17
sketch. Hey, get inside, palmetto.
14:19
And I'm like, okay, all right. Well,
14:22
my mom always spoke loud. So I
14:24
never felt like yelling because, you know,
14:27
because she was just loud. But when I saw
14:29
her get upset with somebody, that's
14:31
when it's like, hmm, all right. Let's not
14:34
get her there. Was she a
14:36
fan of you doing comedy? She
14:38
was, how can I put it? When
14:42
I told her what I wanted to do, her
14:44
whole thing was, I want you to be
14:46
happy. That's all she would say.
14:48
I want you to be happy. I don't get
14:50
it, but I want you to be happy. When
14:53
I did comedy in the beginning, she
14:55
thought it was cool because it was like a hobby.
14:59
Oh, he's doing something he enjoys. That's
15:01
nice. That's how he spends his free
15:03
time. He's doing something that's positive. Not
15:07
like, you know, I didn't have a crazy
15:09
bad habit. You know what I mean? But I still had
15:11
my job. Now when I
15:13
quit my job, oh, I heard it. I
15:16
heard it. Are you literally snoring me? Dude,
15:18
I heard this. I was like, snoring. I thought it was
15:21
Belle. I was like, Belle, why are you breathing? I kept
15:23
trying to go like this. Like, bro, get your nose out
15:25
of the mic, bro. I can hear you breathing. But
15:27
that's so funny that it's your daughter. Did
15:29
you practice a lot of your jokes on your
15:32
mom when you were growing up? Like, was she
15:34
your audience? No, absolutely not. Absolutely
15:36
not. That woman was the toughest
15:39
crowd. And again, she didn't want
15:41
me to pursue this as a career.
15:43
She thought it was OK for a hobby. But
15:46
her whole thing was, you have a real
15:48
job that pays you very well. Because when I
15:50
worked for a cell phone company, I
15:53

that same Eric the like the had us

or Mimi's cafe they had a black angus
17:17
unless I always wanted to get up black
17:19
angus the first time we ever did. oh
17:21
god what when it when I was something
17:24
cell phones while some self man hours i
17:26
felt like I was ballance I remember when
17:28
he males you were physicists and worth it
17:30
out So I want to Wilson's House of
17:32
Swayed and I bought myself a leather jacket
17:34
and like a trenchcoat leather. And
17:36
you could smell ever walked. it's smell
17:38
it and I had like the lining
17:40
it was bad as to have it
17:42
is a real nice jacket on but
17:44
yeah I was doing that so when
17:46
i quit that job my mom. My.
17:48
Mom slipped out because she's like you have
17:51
a. Great. Job that pays
17:53
you very well. You have insurance.
17:55
You. No one's ever had like we have grow
17:58
by things on signal or whatever. The insurance. Is
18:00
that a plane or that they will provide
18:02
for us on. my mom made it a
18:04
big deal about the insurance she goes. You
18:06
have no idea how lucky you are and
18:08
it's not regulars are you? I was ppl
18:11
like the best gets dental. I just got
18:13
my some braces ah and so my mom
18:15
was very upset with me. She thought that
18:17
I was. I was making a huge
18:19
mistake by quitting my job to pursue comedy
18:22
so she's not think I was funny and
18:24
see that not think I was making a
18:26
good choice and and is in the her
18:28
scissors the years the your family doesn't believe
18:30
in is is that like. Or does
18:32
that make you want to prove it more? It.
18:35
Didn't hurt, I just felt like she
18:37
didn't really understand. Or.
18:39
Maybe she did because my father was a
18:42
Mariachi, my father was an entertainer, my father
18:44
was a touring act my fault and that's
18:46
how she met my. but she met my
18:48
dad at a nightclub. Let's. Go, you
18:50
know? And so maybe she understood too
18:52
much and just didn't tell me. Maybe.
18:55
She just didn't want me to go down
18:57
that road because you know for my dad
18:59
were no longer together. There were no longer
19:01
a thing and I don't know but but
19:03
she didn't She never laughed at my comedy
19:05
on stage but I could make her last
19:07
and as you know in the room. Yes,
19:10
She's she's maybe didn't necessarily want you
19:12
to just not make people laugh. She
19:14
probably was worried because you know that
19:16
the industry's toss. That's what I mean.
19:18
Guess. So knowing that the industry's toss.
19:21
let's get into that because you've been
19:23
in this game for twenty five years
19:25
at the highest level possible. Legit Dodger
19:27
Stadium. Be the first and only comedians
19:29
ever do that. Beatles had a hard
19:31
time doing that. That's. Ridiculous
19:33
to say this. saw like are making up.
19:35
What? You've got going on here. lights
19:38
are you go from. You
19:40
know, working very hard having of like
19:42
roommate splitting three fifty for read. To.
19:46
The success that you are now. How do you
19:48
keep your heart the same? How to keep humble?
19:50
How to keep grounded? How do you put up
19:52
your boundaries? Because when I met you immediately I
19:54
told that idol he's down to earth and he
19:56
still has his heart and that to me is
19:59
the best compliment. The give a man
20:01
because I met very, very good men.
20:03
Great men fall to decide The stuff
20:05
now because they wanted to is because
20:07
their environment broke them so many times
20:09
they become bitter, angry, or prideful. It's
20:12
a very slippery slope Howard is: you
20:14
manage to keep yourself. Where. You're
20:16
at as he got a luck had a lot
20:18
to do that and having the. The.
20:20
Upbringing and I'm like or the way that
20:22
I was raised by my mom and it
20:24
says it will again. We go back. that
20:26
conversation before we we got started about you
20:28
know, religion and what you believe in and
20:30
just the way you you should be. Just
20:32
treat people well, be nice to people. It's
20:34
harder to be a dick, you gotta go
20:36
out or your way to be an asshole.
20:38
So much easier to just. Be. Nice.
20:41
You know I am a reactive person so I'll
20:43
give a person or a chance and then freaking
20:46
you know her if of if need be by.
20:48
So I told Bell I'm a bully to bullies.
20:50
If you're ever going to come at me or
20:52
but you back I just don't like to start
20:54
at Olive. Finishing at the yeah would think you
20:57
just wasn't I've managed shortly ago and I was
20:59
gonna watch you guys throughout our morning I decided
21:01
to buy yourself but today we want to just
21:03
focus on to things that are very very important.
21:05
A lot of people and really high thing about
21:08
why raise this issue: Missile fired by law to
21:10

21:12
in my oranges. Super easy. An important source
21:14

21:16
alexa include the lies mean just because I
21:19
want to focus to after I'm done with
21:21
the gym and I'm in the steam room
21:23
I got my workout and but also to
21:25
sit there and meditate focus on things that
21:27
I need to get done that it is
21:30
amazing. Honestly city see for yourself just to
21:32
get yourself your on opponent for on and
21:34
a done already for the death if you
21:36
don't want to do to videogames I do
21:38

21:40

21:43
wanna start with course that in mind
21:45
when you are more than welcome to
21:47
my friend, start your day little bit
21:49
focus and energized leaders under description: Skeleton
21:51
it was the other arm but as
21:53
far as maintaining, ah. I
21:56
guess I I've been my mind. It's like I
21:58
still haven't gotten there yet and. I keep
22:00
telling myself that sounds like you know and also
22:02
to the the people you have to keep you
22:05
know because it once you once you tell yourself
22:07
that you have achieved it. You. Stop
22:09
working for it. You stop. Or
22:11
you stop pushing, you, stop trying to grow
22:13
because you're like welcome here a meter across
22:16
Vincent. So. You you got always constructed
22:18
continues the key you know. Keep saying to yourself,
22:20
aren't we? We got a city we got if
22:22
you've grown, gotta keep on moving. And if you're
22:24
still move and you wanna make sure that your
22:27
i'm. You. Know you, you
22:29
don't burn bridges. A burning
22:31
bridges as is a as a terrible thing to
22:33
do and I think a lot of people just
22:35
get to certain place and they forget the road
22:38
that took. Together. Yeah
22:40
I know right we say you guys wanted
22:42
to do the interview here just for that
22:44
goes through areas is greater thorns. You can
22:47
have your dog snoring. Those are the of
22:49
I guess the company next door. they clean.
22:51
I'm. They
22:53
clean my fork lifts and and contain of
22:55
contractors type of quip big equipment sense or
22:57
another pie cleaning a fork lift or for
23:00
another job as powerful as I know. They're
23:02
doing an interview about it. a success and
23:04
was crazy like it's a thick wall and
23:06
then there's a second wall of the parking
23:08
lots of until imagine how wow that is.
23:10
So the guys are sexually clear. They must
23:12
near La Power for those big you know, the
23:14
thick. Forklifts is a. Set.
23:17
Speaking of. Of up with answer the
23:19
question or I'll a my mind I'll all this
23:21
can go we tomorrow. And.
23:23
If all this goes way to more than what do you have.
23:27
Now and I feel like I would have
23:29
the relationships that are made with people. In
23:31
all I'd still be able to talk to
23:33
everybody even I don't have anything. I was
23:35
nice to people, I was cool with people
23:37
and so whether this is here or it's
23:39
not your I can still go back to
23:42
to whoever I was in all. Before
23:44
this united edges, it's one of those things
23:46
where I'd I'd never want to forget. And
23:49
I'm always talking to people and
23:52
I'm always like, for example, maintaining
23:54
relationships from before. Comedy. You
23:56
know, the still a couple people after that new me from
23:58
way back when and I think those. Are the
24:00
people that really keep me grounded?
24:03
And I'm like, okay, I still have that connection to
24:05
the past. Like. They're. Still
24:07
amazing because those are the important things in my
24:09
son. So many people I see like have to
24:11
you know kind of not not realize that and
24:13
they have the fall and you know they have
24:15
to learn the hard way and you know prioritize
24:18
the wrong things and and be alone and and
24:20
realize that whole wow I should have really taken
24:22
the time to realize it was partner for the
24:24
mean. Also. A big you gotta from
24:26
his mom because your mom was making you
24:29
observe other people's behaviors such a young age.
24:31
realize okay this guy. so because of his
24:33
ego so you probably like I'm not gonna
24:35
I'm gonna stay away from that because you
24:38
your first as in Euro. In
24:40
your line of life. Like. You're. The one
24:42
the other your family that made it the
24:44
industry at the level your have so there's
24:46
a lot of new things that nobody could
24:48
kind of guide you in. some yeah there's
24:50
definitely no manual or or instructions on to
24:52
you know doing any of this like seriously
24:54
was one of those things were like wow
24:56
like okay he was it will move over
24:58
the plan with there was no plan you
25:00
know there was little you know plan for
25:03
any of this and ah I was just
25:05
lucky that. I was
25:07
able to. I'm. Not
25:09
only below a comic. What? I was able
25:11
to. Not get to stew and as
25:13
fun as a not get too stupid as were
25:15
sitting in a building full of cars. Are
25:19
not on? Been on. A.
25:24
Lot more of this I never
25:27
got a role for. Never learned
25:29
gets was were very detailed as.
25:33
A soda wanted salaries they allow
25:36
says yo see? I mean really
25:38
my humble know so. How
25:42
did your mom feel once he started? Like getting
25:44
old as success and you know things are
25:46
to change in your life. My. My
25:49
mom knew that. When. I
25:51
was doing asked you know once I showed
25:53
her then she and she got it like
25:55
oh he's good at this is she still
25:57
win Last of the jokes though. She
26:00
the Haider one at one of those. One of
26:02
the jokes early on that I had about my
26:04
mom was how she doesn't get it in like
26:06
Apple's i don't get it doubles as the I
26:08
even had bumper stickers that I would sell at
26:10
the shows that that would say i don't get
26:12
it and that was there was a other things
26:14
and I'd someone for like two bucks and on
26:16
my age because by the bumper to bumper stickers
26:18
and will take my mom to eat without money
26:20
says this is a decide so all my stickers
26:23
or a mom look at this peyton me solemn
26:25
is bumper sticker. That's why we're a Sizzler success
26:27
as I revert were it's as little as three
26:29
days in a row. Or my mom was just like I
26:31
could get used to. There's not much. Use
26:33
of is hop a subset of so
26:36
as well as. Well
26:38
okay so users is a career in
26:40
a to assume that a better like
26:43
find his voice. When did you find
26:45
your voice. I think
26:47
once I started ah because in the beginning
26:49
was his characters voices impressions. that's all I
26:51
did was you didn't know anything about you
26:54
just knew that I could go up there
26:56
and I could just do impressions and sound
26:58
effects and I was very animated and souls
27:00
or not funny but you to really know
27:02
anything about me And so I remember how
27:04
I did one job where I talked about.
27:07
Ah, dancing. At.
27:09
A club. And. I says i'll
27:11
I'll only dance with big girls ah so
27:13
that we finish at the same time week
27:16
and then I did a bit you know
27:18
was his sentence and and I remember got
27:20
a laugh on unlike was the first time
27:22
of actually. Said. Something about
27:24
me and then I. I did a story but
27:26
my mom. And. That was like
27:28
the first Homework A Broke that wall have
27:30
just been characters and sound effects and actually.
27:33
Having some substance there and what
27:35
I learned to do was just
27:38
tell stories but still incorporate all
27:40
the things that made me ah
27:42
like made it entertaining. So.
27:44
Instead of just telling a story about oh yes
27:46
oh there was when I ran into this girl.
27:48
She was really fun. ah nice than I would
27:51
change that and then a be like yes around
27:53
the this girl and she's like oh my god
27:55
Seriously so automatically you're selling story but now you're
27:57
painting a picture. So I was doing all the.
28:00
Voices in a person's and everything and then
28:02
still talking about real things. that since that's
28:04
amazing I thought this whole time Robin Williams
28:06
mans like can inspired you to do impersonations
28:08
because I know he was somebody the Robin
28:10
Williams doesn't He was one of the inspirations
28:12
I remember watching Live at the Met when
28:14
I was a kid. Robin
28:17
Williams. I had watched it as it's a good
28:19
one and. And one thing about him is that. I
28:22
love the house. He could entertain you
28:24
and he could also. Get.
28:26
You emotional. In other some
28:28
comics, little make you think that that's a
28:31
case. Okay look for example, cardinals really good
28:33
at making think Robin Williams could actually make
28:35
you feel something other than that of the
28:38
humor and he would tell the stories about
28:40
his son and I'm like wow you could
28:42
feel those moments and an end in early
28:44
and obviously you could see when when when
28:47
you do movies and he do drama. He
28:49
was really really good at that and I
28:51
liked that he could make himself vulnerable. And.
28:55
That. Was one of those things to words like? Or let
28:57
me let me put some. But. Some real stuff
28:59
out there and see how this goes. And
29:01
it is just a felt good. it felt
29:03
good to open up about certain things. On
29:06
states and people can relate to that. A
29:09
lot of comics use on comedy for
29:11
like a way to express themselves through pain
29:13
is that deep? Do you see yourself
29:15
as well? Absolutely really. Absolute. Now have you
29:17
found a better way to express yourself
29:19
though besides Com and I've tried therapy, I've
29:21
actually gone to sit there and pay
29:23
my freaking to fifty for the our city
29:26
feel about that. In. The beginning.
29:28
I'm just like our guy. I thought
29:30
it was the biggest waste of time.
29:33
I x one wanted us to go
29:35
to or do some couples therapy Now
29:37
just like a split try to has
29:39
things sixty six our situation and are
29:42
I thought that therapy was was. Showing.
29:45
Weakness and I didn't like that. I
29:47
didn't like that I would be. You. Know wanting
29:49
to be vulnerable to one another person. It's
29:51
another thing when you bring in a stranger
29:53
and now you're you're exposing your staying right
29:55
here. And it's is. It felt like ah,
29:58
I didn't like it. I've
30:02
little different level of owner Bill: yes it
30:04
is and you pay them shit. So
30:10
once we started doing couples therapy
30:12
it was like ri Okay, I'm.
30:14
I see it, I get it. And then we broke
30:17
up. And. I continue
30:19
to see the therapist by myself. And
30:22
after a while it became a thing where
30:24
I'm like okay, ah it it in I'd
30:26
walk out. Other more than anything it showed
30:29
me how to ask myself questions. To.
30:31
Their selection, You know? Size.
30:34
I thought it was a very good thing.
30:36
I still prefer the stage lot more fun
30:38
but having somebody you know see what how
30:40
does that make you feel They have you
30:42
stop to think about and that was her
30:45
all her think have you stopped to think
30:47
about how and I'm like oh my god
30:49
like you know have more issues than I
30:51
thought. As a citizen I always have a
30:53
low know. See feel like a gave you
30:55
new tools to be able to handle conflict
30:57
or situations in your life or. I
31:00
feel like it showed me how to listen better. Because.
31:03
I feel like I was always. You know,
31:05
because I was doing what I was doing.
31:07
Like. How can I be wrong? How
31:10
can I be wrong? Look. Look
31:12
at what you know. Look at what we're
31:14
We're we're at what's going on, What's with
31:16
our air. It's if I'm wrong, the it's
31:18
really I'm wrong. So. I didn't
31:21
I didn't see it. I'm like no I'm
31:23
not wrong because if this is wrong I
31:25
don't have your i think you that if
31:27
that's one of those things but you know
31:29
a it was possible to still. Be.
31:33
The wrong way or say the wrong thing
31:35
you know he at i had a really
31:37
does take a step back and allow myself
31:39
to go are at maybe I'm not always
31:41
right and that's a hard thing to do
31:44
Some added checked myself and I sought like
31:46
that's why I you know. I.
31:48
Do appreciate yes Hi!
31:52
This is the sole reason why have
31:54
like dogs. They're the beautiful
31:56
because they love you unconditionally Care
31:58
if he's think. They don't care what you know
32:00
what you say or do at the end of a days long as
32:02
you. Make. Them feel safe and
32:05
comfortable. They love you and I can
32:07
learn a lot from that. sometimes. Silence.
32:10
Is. This is okay. Now they
32:12
give you like security and guess. Silence
32:14
being okay. was that a problem for you back in the
32:16
day? It was because always fall
32:18
actor needed to be something there. You
32:21
know who who taught me that? I don't need to do that.
32:25
Matthew Perry was an interview and he
32:27
said. I. Realized one day that I don't
32:29
always have to make people laugh. And.
32:31
I felt like. If I wasn't doing that,
32:33
if I was quiet, I feel like I'm rude. And.
32:36
I'm like being disrespectful or as the uncomfortable
32:38
nature is like. God gave me the ability
32:40
to not make this uncomfortable so all do
32:42
that. I remember I was an elevator with
32:44
unwanted I was upset and I sat there
32:46
quiet in there was. People. Elevator and
32:48
do when I'm not one person said anything.
32:51
It was the first time of wrote an
32:53
elevator. Where. I didn't talk to any but
32:55
like it's I couldn't believe the other people are okay
32:57
just sitting there not talking and it was so weird
32:59
to me the how could you stand next to a
33:01
stranger not get to know him. So it's only I
33:03
don't like. people don't normally talk in elevators a
33:06
like you always talk of. State are you.
33:09
Might as well as and are not like
33:11
getting a novel is is that it's are
33:13
the odds those the I've always been like
33:15
that at how do you are at you
33:17
manage to cause like it is Might be
33:19
hard for the audience to understand this because
33:21
when you're in show business rights they only
33:23
see. What? You want them to see the
33:26
they don't see the joke when you're building it,
33:28
They see the joke when it's ready to go.
33:30
But. With those jokes com the actual real
33:32
pain that you go through the industry is
33:35
so toss man you to lose friends, you
33:37
to lose our people the you bro bread
33:39
with there's people that you look at in
33:41
the eyes of the your my brother for
33:43
life and now he's gone and you have
33:45
no idea how that even got there because
33:47
you realize you're an industry that you have
33:50
to delegate with other people's egos. prides their
33:52
their relationship. The way they deal with things
33:54
in their home is not Yours is leggings,
33:56
there's there's so many things I could break
33:58
your heart. What what? Women. That happens everyday.
34:00
How do you do with it? Cry.
34:05
Drink Really? Really? Because like that I don't
34:07
I'm not joking. A smoke from the numbers
34:09
of over a year you find ways to
34:11
to deal and then can be held a.
34:13
Cat it and it's not. It's. Not
34:16
ah, you know, This
34:19
You catch yourself drinking a lot of the that?
34:21
Yes still are you. Are you still drinking. actively.
34:24
Why? Rodrigo time. Really gonna have a but.
34:26
I mean you know used to be social
34:28
but I mean it's not like us. Ah.
34:31
Mckenzie. You. Know
34:33
due to cope so much anymore? No. No,
34:35
I don't I don't But I still
34:37
swimmers as low as still deal with
34:39
the situation of people coming into my
34:42
life and people coming and going leaving
34:44
my life and that's that's still happens
34:46
and it's again. You know it's a
34:48
lot of relationships are affected because we
34:50
do this because it's a it's. You
34:53
know it's this. Show Business is
34:55
is crazy. It really is. It's in
34:57
and if you're not careful a new
34:59
people do get hurt or feel you
35:01
didn't know. And. This could
35:03
just be from my observation because this is what happened
35:05
to me. I didn't know how deep the rabbit hole
35:07
this. And I think this is
35:10
the reason why good people fall is I've
35:12
seen really really good like and Susie as
35:14
dig loving people just get burned so many
35:16
times that they're like okay, this is how
35:18
I have to act and beat in and
35:21
behave for me to get respect from people.
35:23
So how do you become the light of
35:25
the room and still respectful but also put
35:27
up your boundaries saying like I'm not gonna
35:29
leave you but if you cross this line
35:32
you're leaving me. It's It's really hard because
35:34
I feel like I've I've been really bad
35:36
at setting boundaries. I've been
35:38
really, really bad at setting boundaries because
35:40
you know it's it's hard to say
35:42
no. It. Is hard to say
35:45
know especially to people that you love and
35:47
care about. Hum when
35:49
they see how things are going.
35:52
There. Is a sense
35:54
of entitlement. Amongst the people
35:56
around you and. It's
35:58
hard to tell him hey, this is. This
36:00
is our am sharing some of this with you
36:03
but it's. It's. Not. You know, all
36:05
available to you and that's how do they
36:07
forget this in and it's it's It's really
36:09
hard to establish that because and once you
36:11
start showing them that you're trying to build
36:13
a boundary all of a sudden your the
36:16
problem. You're the asshole, your the you know
36:18
and then you're like known or that's not
36:20
what I'm trying to say. I is just
36:22
that. in and then you question your software
36:24
like am I the ah So should this
36:27
be forever? But what am I know. Yeah.
36:30
Sure you could bar thirty two k
36:32
gas. Not gonna save us and others.
36:34
success. Sisters you
36:36
don't want is no bad guy. You don't want
36:38
to be the bad guys. You know you're not
36:40
a black guy. I understand everything you're saying. I
36:42
know and what was the first like boundary that
36:45
you're like. Okay, know you're having difficulty setting boundaries,
36:47
but I'll give an example or I will use
36:49
your family as one of them because that's how
36:51
you could. Not a brown shops practice at home
36:53
and then you use it everywhere else. There was
36:55
a interview were saying that you're driving your car
36:57
He said is easy, never really struggled or. Work.
36:59
For something, how could you really appreciate? Absolutely okay.
37:02
And then you have a job or you talk
37:04
about your son being spoiled. Now. You
37:06
love your son. You don't want him to go
37:08
through the obstacles that you went through, but you
37:10
also don't want him to be a spoiled brat.
37:13
How did you set boundaries that?
37:15
that was a really difficult one?
37:17
Because ah, I
37:20
remember. Telling
37:22
my girl first got together you know because
37:24
I saw how hard she worked and and
37:27
the struggle was real and I said i
37:29
don't want us to have to struggle. And.
37:33
She understood she.it seems
37:35
fishy Wentworth. However, my
37:37
son didn't. He didn't He was too young
37:39
to really understand and see it and. Making.
37:43
Someone goes like how do you make your
37:45
your kid struggles me and are on sale
37:47
I've had enough. You can win something so
37:49
many. Yeah it's like say the of the
37:52
story don't work. They. Have
37:54
actually go through it and as environments
37:56
different. Know when your brothers and sisters
37:58
were saying hey, don't. Talk to Mom
38:00
when she gets quite a bubble. blah don't
38:02
cross at life You are still in their
38:04
environment, but if she's not in your environment,
38:06
he can't walk your pass. Did
38:09
you feel guilty that time that he walked in
38:11
and no shoes are just sitting there needs to
38:13
scuttle is a cool and you're like do you
38:15
have no idea. What? To feel like
38:17
to get these shoes that scare you
38:19
that you might have broke his like
38:21
eyes and lice. ah active I could
38:23
see it happening. Unfortunately because of how
38:25
much I was working it's like this
38:27
are I do I. Do
38:30
that woods our top. Do you understand
38:32
what needed to happen? In order for this to
38:34
be this way. You'll.
38:37
See. That substances oh
38:39
God. That's
38:41
that. That's why. Feel that. No
38:44
matter what, I feel like this generation
38:46
just won't. Ah will have. Everything
38:48
at their disposal. But.
38:52
They won't have. Struggled.
38:54
Struggled something that is gonna take it.
38:56
You don't just get cancer download it
38:58
means it's not me After experiencing go
39:00
through you gotta know what it's like
39:03
to fall on your face to hear
39:05
notice to claw your way to get
39:07
to a goal to want something bad
39:09
enough like of a bad as pair
39:11
of shoes on guys like for him
39:13
at that time I was like tech
39:15
or whatever or do do understand like
39:17
you know. For. Me
39:19
To dig ditches. How many ditches I would
39:22
have to dig in order to pay for
39:24
that pair of what? You know when you
39:26
work the math like that Like I understand
39:28
it. But how do you make someone else
39:30
understand that without putting them through it a
39:33
little? Can't you can't They will not understand
39:35
until they have to actually do it Like
39:37
you know that. Settle: Think tough. love. Sometimes.
39:40
You gotta just let them. Let. him figure
39:42
it out on their own but then that feels bad because
39:44
I'm like. I. Always feel like I
39:47
could help. I could make fix this like
39:49
that like that, but then by fixing it,
39:51
I just enable this person to rely on
39:53
me. The next time things get bad and
39:55
they're never going to have that sense of
39:57
of of urgency to do anything. Because they're
39:59
They're always gonna know that I'm going to
40:01
be that safety net. So it's it. Sucks
40:03
and I don't want to see my friends
40:05
struggle and fall and sale and go through
40:07
things, but at the same science, I don't
40:10
want them to freaking just think that they
40:12
could come to me at any moment and
40:14
have be bailed him out. And.
40:16
So it's it's hard. It really is
40:18
and I'm having people try to get
40:21
people are on border or understand where
40:23
I'm coming from because they just the
40:25
you sound like an asshole when you
40:28
try to say this is how I
40:30
feel better like. Do.
40:32
You wouldn't even notice it is really it's gonna affect
40:34
you that is really. But it's not your just tell
40:36
me how we enter our when a deal with this
40:39
I don't know how you dealt with it by i
40:41
had it's before I am as a lot for a
40:43
lot length of. Did
40:46
you get angry before the crime because I would
40:48
explode? let's I would hold it in and then
40:50
when you did break that line and sadly for
40:53
my part it was always on something that people
40:55
are like why did you get mad at that
40:57
It was always the last straw was at a
40:59
random thing and when I explode or just like
41:01
I'm one hundred percent. In so let's I'm either
41:03
one hundred percent going to be your servant
41:05
or I'm gonna one hundred percent be your
41:07
enemy Like access. Be fifty fifty.
41:09
Just weird. I. Feel like I'm faking it here
41:11
and then if I. Seek his years feel as your
41:14
make me as a person. I can't do this so
41:16
that your these are the boundaries I don't cross and
41:18
like don't but it's It's the I've been in the
41:20
game only for ten years and it's still. The.
41:23
Hardest thing to do is say no to somebody
41:25
with a know. Like. I'm sorry,
41:27
I don't think it's appropriate. He didn't work for
41:29
years and then you look like the bad guy
41:31
but nobody just gave it to me to do.
41:33
They get to work for it You and you
41:35
never looked good saying no and the person that
41:37
you're saying no to. Doesn't.
41:40
All of a sudden Go! You know
41:42

41:44
And thank you for you know, Enlightening!

41:58
a way you china's are able. It
42:00

42:02
success. You guys have to swallow the hard pill
42:04

50:43
that crossroads right now where I could still
50:45
six it. I could slow elected still
50:47
others from dealing with right now. I feel like
50:49
that's the dealing part, the making the choice or
50:51
because you're so be on tour. See
50:54
disease is is is has nothing to
50:56
do with it. It's me making that
50:59
choice to. To. Do It! Food

is amazing! And. Being
51:03
able to eat out every day
51:05
is a huge luxury and I
51:07
enjoy it at. I love getting
51:10
in the car, driving somewhere, walking
51:12
and sitting in a new place,
51:14
taking in the environment, trying new
51:16
things. It is I I did.

where I could still. Correct.
52:49
It or I could go down that evil
52:51
yeah over dark road. Up.
52:54
But I want to be around. I do. And so my
52:56
motivation as I just. You. Know it's not to

53:00
I do and it doesn't matter what I looked
53:02
like. there could be slim, I could be big,
53:05
my shows are still going to be the shows
53:07
everything's going to happen but it's more so to
53:09
be around to be. Healthy
53:12
enough to enjoy life for example, not
53:14
just a lives, not just a live.
53:17
One. One now when I take the found
53:19
me to Disneyland. right? Ah,
53:21

53:49
much better with the scooter and I'm
53:51
like like what's the motivation to wanna
53:53
start walking? be a tough but yes
53:55
you guys are all tired. I got
53:57
energy for days. You must must goose.
54:00
So I think that he not
54:02
only an outside of the i've
54:04
started creating these you know crutches
54:06
that. That. Have not
54:08
really motivated me to one. I have. A
54:11
own. It's hard when you have power of the here's
54:13
a thing like all he don't fit in the chair.
54:15
whoop. Order accustomed. share. You
54:17
if you are this era your that
54:20
I'm sitting on came from a hotel
54:22
ah in Palm Springs. Oh it was
54:24
my room. And I love it and
54:26
I ask is the that the people at the
54:28
see I got this chairs like the most perfect
54:31
share in the world. Where did where did you
54:33
get it I want to order it was as
54:35
if you know and in a being able to
54:37
do that has. I. Feel like
54:39
having resources is yes. having resources also
54:42
is is like kryptonite for me. Wanting
54:44
to get better? That gives as rousing
54:46
a mother say so you're You're at
54:49
the King of the Castle rights. It's
54:51
hard when you have nobody telling you
54:53
what to do. When. Your mom
54:55
was around. She could be your voice of reason like a.
54:58
Don't. Do that to be like zone so
55:00
but when you don't have that anymore and
55:02
your realizing that everybody loves is coming to
55:04
you for advice. Financial. Decisions.
55:07
Or maybe money? Or our
55:09
relationship. When you realize your the source when
55:11
it comes to your problems, you're you're tired
55:13
of helping everybody else. You take the easy
55:15
way out for yourself and this could be
55:17
a tricky tricky past. I.
55:19
Was recently reading a study that might actually
55:22
intrigue you. Because you said you
55:24
wanted to be around and be healthy, right?
55:26
Years, You're worried about your blood sugar. You
55:28
worried about. In the future God forbid
55:30
being at a place where you're alive but
55:32
you will be able to enjoy life says
55:34
it's fullest. There's a study that came out
55:36
that are obese, people have perfect blood records
55:39
and I have an example. My sister my
55:41
scissors obese and she as thank god very
55:43
very good blood and we have diabetes in
55:45
our family to the reason why is because
55:47
she lifts weights. And she does a
55:49
lot of list. And so there's a
55:52
study that saying that lifting weights actually
55:54
help with your insides? So have you
55:56
ever decided? and try to? Just instead
55:58
of fixing your diet first? That's
56:00
tough right? That comes with a lot of passion.
56:02
Like you said, you'd rather go out your friends.
56:05
You just crushed. When. Nobody could
56:07
do in their lifetime. You're exhausted, your sit
56:09
by yourself eating a meal you ought to
56:11
take. Everybody goes celebrates. So why don't you
56:13
just start with lifting weights for a year?
56:15
Get a trainer. I. Did I
56:17
live? I know, I'd I'd lifted
56:20
weights, For. Years. Of
56:22
I did a for for a while but lifting
56:24
weights is only you know. yeah you'll you'll be
56:26
stronger. which is good. you lifting weights if you
56:28
start eating like an ass off it's still gonna
56:31
know. but you're you're right that it at least
56:33
if you're lifting weights you you you're strong and
56:35
you can get up and co move around used
56:37
you're You're carrying that big frame around but it
56:40
doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna lose the weight of
56:42
your stop eating. Yeah. I
56:44
remember I'm a hung out with the. Stone.
56:47
Cold Steve Austin. Any said, you
56:49
can't. You can't out train
56:51
a shitty day. It. You. Can't out
56:53
train a shitty Tommy? You can't out
56:55
train a shitty diet. To. Turn
56:57
out train a shitty diet and I'm like them.
57:00
While I was actually like of solitary rights. He
57:03
hates it when I do that. This is
57:05
Uma not do Not Smoke gasol stop Must. Have
57:09
you ever done under pressure to somebody and then he
57:11
got like oh maybe I should advise him assistant. At
57:14
a great sense of humor, you've got a great
57:16
sense of humor. But yeah, I don't think anybody
57:19
likes hearing impressions of themselves. But so I try
57:21
not to do it around. The people know that.
57:24
Oh. Really yeah I feel slightly get somebody
57:26
could do much the me like I would
57:28
want to see it you know as the
57:30
lowest settings for this but I do have
57:32
in length as good as because you've been
57:35
in so many animated films animated series notice
57:37
you're able to other voices the characters is
57:39
how soon and see your chimp the comedic
57:41
career did you start. Acting.
57:44
And did you start doing voice over or to? They
57:46
saw the you Are A voice I know. Emperor's New
57:48
School. And. I was pretty early on in your career.
57:50
Wow that was really really early
57:52
on Arm. We couldn't tell you
57:54
the here but you probably good says act yes. Sir
57:57
Yes, I love the.
58:00
I love Emperor's New Groove version. So
58:02
ah, once I started doing voice work
58:05
in a sea of the thing with
58:07
voiceover work is that yes, it's a
58:09
it's a credit, It's A. You know
58:12
it's cool to do these projects, but
58:14
the it. Financially is one
58:16
of those things where. He.
58:19
Had to make yourself available and as a
58:21
touring comic my bread and butter is on
58:23
the road. However, if
58:25
you're lucky enough to land a
58:27
voice role on something big then
58:30
it it can blow up and
58:32
you could be a major in
58:34
cars. He could be a character
58:37
that's like what the hell I
58:39
guess And I remember I turned
58:42
down a role. To.
58:44
Go on the road. And the.
58:46
The. Role would have blown up. The
58:49
rep for me it took the role did blow
58:51
up for the person that did it on but
58:53
after that I saw. A major
58:55
point I'm never going to say no to
58:58
voice overalls to that. her is all it's
59:00
done. I've and happened twice. com. So
59:02
anytime I'm with you as reporting on the road
59:04
it. Because at the
59:06
time it's not like now you just take
59:09
your quip meek do your own thing about
59:11
membranes his this is back then and so
59:13
is now. You couldn't take the studio with
59:15
your arm and you could just phone is
59:17
in. Do get better when you see these
59:19
comics taking it's so easy here. like to
59:21
come on easier like subject. no good stewards
59:23
oh did you ask you all know but
59:26
that they're just. So.
59:29
The the I went out for this
59:31
role. And. Very.
59:35
Needed me to sing. In the
59:37
role and so I remember I did of the
59:39
voice and then I sang the song that the
59:41
wanted me to sing and the like. You
59:44
that ensures on a great. Song
59:46
as it. My way
59:49
in Spanish. Army Man, I'm
59:51
Human at or Gypsy Kings version
59:53
Instinct and on. The thing was
59:55
is that the movie didn't have.
59:58
Ah, a real budget. And
1:00:00
so they were telling me, hey, look. It's.
1:00:04
You're going to make like I forget what
1:00:06
the amount was. It was like a couple
1:00:08
hundred bucks. That's to come in
1:00:10
and to the recordings and stuff like that, but it's
1:00:12
gonna require you to. You know you don't need a
1:00:14
cut up like. A chunk of time
1:00:16
to come in and always recording yeah sing
1:00:18
the song on. We.
1:00:21
Can promise we can give you points on a
1:00:23
back and if we decide to do saying that
1:00:25
that's the best we can do. A My manager
1:00:27
of Time was like this is such a stupid
1:00:30
movie. This is such a stupid movie you can
1:00:32
go on the road. He can make Twenty Five
1:00:34
K in Texas right now. You
1:00:36
know, this weekend. And you're you're gonna.
1:00:38
You're gonna cut out. That.
1:00:40
To for for a couple hundred dollars and hope that
1:00:42
it. Breaks. Cause makes over a
1:00:44
certain amounts you can get back and. She.
1:00:47
Was a stupid. And. I'm like,
1:00:49
okay, You're right, And. So passed on
1:00:51
the role. went to Texas made by Twenty
1:00:53
Five K. the movie that I passed on
1:00:56
a Happy feet. Yeah
1:00:59
I've as ours not like I'm happy that next
1:01:01
day. Images they were
1:01:03
a we're not my you know not as
1:01:05
he has on happy feet and who got
1:01:08
the part they gave the part they give
1:01:10
the part but by the time they had
1:01:12
raise the money. Robin Williams.the
1:01:14
parts which I thought was like you know
1:01:16
what if anybody's in a get it much
1:01:19
my childhood hero idea that so I thought
1:01:21
that was cool so he won't allow the
1:01:23
to take you to have that type of
1:01:25
energy sources such as a minute. About
1:01:28
Away the movie. Yeah I can only imagine what
1:01:30
the points and how much money I would have
1:01:32
made because the movie the movie made so much
1:01:34
money. They made a sequel installed gotten the sequel
1:01:37
to I'm. Guessing you when you were saying my
1:01:39
old manager. Was it has a reasons
1:01:41
like this is I. I
1:01:43
I you know either. I think that this the so
1:01:45
at the end of the day when you're really passive
1:01:47
or something and it's something that you enjoy. Sometimes you
1:01:50
know the money that it's gonna make you is is
1:01:52
not worth it. You know because I didn't They you
1:01:54
know you would have enjoys at that time and that
1:01:56
would have a part of the legacy. Unum Say like
1:01:58
I would have been able to say. Like you know
1:02:00
I was in that movie. Like wow I
1:02:02

1:03:24
while. And I'm time
1:03:26
ago. Listen guys he said I got the
1:03:28
part but I got some work on the
1:03:30
road and will I will listen. We understand
1:03:32
you got prior commitments. don't worry the parts
1:03:34
yours would just have somebody or read read
1:03:36
the part for you. Somewhere. About. It. You're
1:03:39
not from. So. Focused on
1:03:42
the road to my saying the
1:03:44
person they had read for me.
1:03:46
Is a voice actor named Carlos
1:03:49
and as rotten he's a He's
1:03:51
a comic old longtime friend known
1:03:53
for ever since The Problem Is.
1:03:56
Carlos. L is rocky. His. Next
1:03:58
level with the voices. The guy
1:04:00
that did that voice of the talk about
1:04:02
to our back in the day Iowa other
1:04:04
I think Rock was model world. He did
1:04:07
so many characters so you. Said you'd
1:04:09
just have. A job as small
1:04:11
as three the line rather the the
1:04:13
parts. Username of freakin' Ringer
1:04:15
you brought in free get you know,
1:04:17
the best? Hell yes it was like
1:04:19
I'm a boxer. my that's what we
1:04:21
got Tyson to fill in for Hims
1:04:23
hear what? Yeah, don't want to come
1:04:25
back while would get Roman somebody who's
1:04:27
who's better at doing voice overs than
1:04:29
I am and sold as petty as
1:04:31
move. He goes in there and he
1:04:34
slays it. He slays the table read
1:04:36
and are like who did we haven't
1:04:38
as things. yeah no they're not going
1:04:40
to be better than this And I
1:04:42
agree. Car Shield It's so I lost.
1:04:44
A part because I wasn't there at that table
1:04:46
read I was on the road and I was
1:04:48
a. Damn it, I did it again. The.
1:04:51
Good part was that they still had other
1:04:53
characters that needed to be that they needed
1:04:55
other roles filled in that movie and saw
1:04:57
they say hey lot when I we can
1:04:59
give you but them decide Dukas Carlos got
1:05:01
it now but we're going off or you
1:05:04
these other parts did you hands on it
1:05:06
not I did it really yeah I said
1:05:08
as a hey I want to be part
1:05:10
of the project So yes I did the
1:05:12
other characters and were smaller you know less
1:05:14
lines, less everything but I was still in
1:05:16
the movie but I remember like ah man
1:05:18
freaky car a little too I go bro
1:05:21
I. Know you killed it in their i
1:05:23
know you killed it in their really same
1:05:25
as A So it was in and I
1:05:27
get in on my list my role in
1:05:29
our minds and see her for ya sister
1:05:31
sweet as it is possible to see that
1:05:33
as as a so now he fielded and
1:05:36
again ill advised by missed out on a
1:05:38
second opportunity like that. For. Gone on
1:05:40
the road so it's hard to balance. But
1:05:42
in doing voice overs for me, I love
1:05:44
voice over work more than regular acting in
1:05:47
like in a tv show or movie. I
1:05:49
love voiceover work a job like this. To
1:05:51
me the mike was do this and was
1:05:53
or I'll have to memorize anything. Everything's right
1:05:56
there. You that of director telling you speak
1:05:58
higher, speak lower, make your. No,
1:06:00
You know I need angrier, You
1:06:02
know? And you're doing it instantly
1:06:04
And it's instantly being done. You're
1:06:06
comfortable. And he gets his play. Yes! And then
1:06:08
have class services, right? They're seeking a yeah,
1:06:10
I'm a dozen or noom. They have an
1:06:13
assistant. Professor
1:06:15
Sigma. What
1:06:19
would our food in? Your Mother Jones was just
1:06:21
as one know. My
1:06:23
buddy actually plays one of the Ninja Turtles and
1:06:25
one of the Teen Titans and he's like your
1:06:28
com or am I? what am I Houses by
1:06:30
the way says he's very, very established. I came
1:06:32
in and he's in his role with his coffee.
1:06:34
That one second I'm finishing up work and he
1:06:36
walks into this tiny little booth. Yeah, any just
1:06:38
like we were, it becomes articles Cab Done!
1:06:40
let's go to the beach in an Allied?
1:06:43
Are you kidding me What this lives do?
1:06:45
This is sick. But so so. Next the
1:06:47
comedy. I like doing voice over work com
1:06:49
and like voice over work and then and
1:06:51
then our acting makes sense because both of
1:06:53
those kind of fall in the realm of
1:06:55
you manipulating your voice surprise never really jumps
1:06:57
is a podcasting. The reason
1:06:59
why I didn't get into podcasting to the lot
1:07:01
of people have asked me how can we didn't
1:07:03
just start doing your own So I feel like
1:07:05
you've you're gonna have a successful podcast. You need
1:07:07
to be consistent. You need to have a good
1:07:10
schedule. You need to have people around you. They're
1:07:12
gonna help you produce. Sick of a lotta people
1:07:14
think oh you just grab him I can talk
1:07:16
know you need to have people. If you can
1:07:18
have a good podcast you need people to help
1:07:20
you produce it.though environment that you set up begin
1:07:22
to have to have your topics that you're going
1:07:24
to cover and so that all takes work session
1:07:26
and time is the shop. If. You're going
1:07:29
to do it right if you're going to dick
1:07:31
off and talk and then you could always come
1:07:33
back to it. You can always go in the
1:07:35
future collector. My whole thing was I don't want
1:07:37
start something and half ass it news I don't
1:07:39
wanna half ass it because is going to reflect
1:07:41
on the all maps to see a shitty podcast
1:07:43
like a yawning like I'm just saying like people
1:07:45
at a representatives on about meet say I would
1:07:47
much rather be on someone else is show and
1:07:49
then just it's a it's a hang you know
1:07:51
this or me as at work it's a hang,
1:07:53
were hanging out we're talking. This is fun. I
1:07:55
don't have to get have anybody said all this
1:07:57
stuff up. I don't have. To coordinate any of it
1:07:59
as you show. The had fun and any about what
1:08:01
about the records if you know. But if it's my
1:08:03
show and I want to make sure I go back
1:08:05
and I listened to it or at least make sure
1:08:08
that okay how did they say that is is gonna
1:08:10
be okay Let's go back and forth with a publicist.
1:08:12
make sure that the the the the person we interviewed
1:08:14
was comfortable with this. Make sure it's the follow ups.
1:08:17
It's a lot of work and if you can do
1:08:19
it right to hold but I knew already. That
1:08:21
I'm lazy was certain things that I'm like. You
1:08:25
know I'm not. I'm not gonna be as
1:08:27
enthusiastic about it after. you know, a month
1:08:29
the first couple I'll be like this is
1:08:32
cool, but I already know me. And
1:08:34
I know that ominous find something else that I'm
1:08:36
gonna wanna do more than the podcast and
1:08:38
other touted as long an hour now so it's
1:08:40
going to turn into something maybe reflecting of you.
1:08:43
What? What I've What are I know? Because
1:08:45
I know me here and again I don't wanna
1:08:47
start something a camp sinister. The you know
1:08:49
and therefore you're giving your audience that quality
1:08:51
performances in concert versus you're just trying to
1:08:53
like. Over it as yeah.
1:08:56
So. Would you ever write
1:08:58
your own animation? Silver? your own
1:09:00
character? Yoda. Netflix
1:09:02
thing going on your teacher. Yes
1:09:05
i had a show as a as
1:09:07
a teacher but also there was a
1:09:09
project that recently got a freak and
1:09:12
eighty six because of of have club.
1:09:16
Changing of of. Of
1:09:18
people over at Netflix. I had a deal with
1:09:20
a with a friend of mine. We were Rob.
1:09:23
Doing. A animated film. Based
1:09:26
on on us on a story but I
1:09:28
had a had given him about my life
1:09:30
and my son's life. kind of like a
1:09:33
clashing of the to Live Together and the
1:09:35
it was gonna be an animated film call
1:09:37
a Chihuahua for Netflix and they are they
1:09:39
pick that up with was great and all
1:09:42
the said Netflix went through this thing where
1:09:44
people started getting let go and other people
1:09:46
started come and and each time somebody new
1:09:48
would come in they would make. Make.
1:09:51
Us redo the script didn't like it or
1:09:53
and somebody makes a they did a good
1:09:55
start changing things and it's like and had
1:09:57
happened too many times and finally you know.
1:10:00
Was it was one too many. And it's like love.
1:10:02
This is just not. It's no longer the saying that
1:10:04
it should have and the i up and so now.
1:10:06
Dress up and powerful! Why don't you just create something
1:10:08
on your own and then sell it. Ah,
1:10:10
that's also an option. Ah such an
1:10:12
for example I have on online I
1:10:15
have the cartoons or a a. A
1:10:17
hard this company in Colombia that
1:10:19
does animation. Really good animation and
1:10:21
I had them take all of
1:10:23
my comedy specials from the past
1:10:25
year and animate them, put them
1:10:27
in cartoons and break. Vi Dane
1:10:29
Cook. Did. You get
1:10:32
this from the could this idea. I remember
1:10:34
Comedy Central did that. Comedy Central was doing
1:10:36
a big i think to call them shortest
1:10:38
way I would take comics bits and they
1:10:41
would animated. says. I'm so surprised
1:10:43
Army so do more that a looks really cool
1:10:45
and it isn't a new up on his. it's
1:10:47
very much it in so yeah. so I had
1:10:50
this company do that so it's breaking up all
1:10:52
my on my specials and so these short form
1:10:54
and palm fluffy bits and so that's why would
1:10:56
post that attacked us. So doing stuff like that
1:10:59
is fun because it's still in the vein of
1:11:01
my stand up. Any time people like you for
1:11:03
a certain thing and then you try to branch
1:11:05
off it's like will this work here the up
1:11:08
you know. Okay he's a funny comedian. Will he
1:11:10
be a funny comedy actor on Tv? The. Or
1:11:12
does this box fit in this box?
1:11:14
Okay, he's a funny comedy actor on
1:11:17
Tv. Will that work on film? Can.
1:11:19
He be a funny enough so it's always
1:11:22
I can you take this and put it
1:11:24
here. Will this work here? Will this work
1:11:26
here? And I feel like animation, animating comedy
1:11:28
bits. Should. Sit should work people.
1:11:30
A you would think people like cartoons,
1:11:32
people like stand up combine the two,
1:11:34
especially if they're fan of the person
1:11:36
self. Is this like do pay and
1:11:38
and and produce my own animated stuff
1:11:41
which is out of. All. That
1:11:43
to say that I love that. You know I
1:11:45
always watch during a movie. That's that takes a
1:11:47
lot more bigger project as a bigger project and
1:11:49
because of the fact that people can just do
1:11:52
this to you. Know
1:11:54
as as so easy. it's kind of his.
1:11:56
It's discouraging and scary at times. As
1:11:59
you need to take. Van edge of the
1:12:01
modern technology on the fact that this
1:12:03
is no longer thing for somebody like
1:12:05
fluffy. This. Should never be
1:12:08
anything for euro. you eat too dirty. sold
1:12:10
out Dodgers state. Who the fuck I'm sorry.
1:12:12
I'm sorry to not swear, but who has
1:12:14
the ability to do this to you. Go
1:12:17
fuck yourself Remained got you? Go sell a
1:12:19
Dodger Stadium in and tell me what's good
1:12:21
or not. It'll be like series like I
1:12:23
can even fathom that you wait for some
1:12:25
it. if? what? If I want to produce
1:12:27
something on my own and put it out
1:12:29
on my own platform, on my own, you
1:12:31
tube, or my own in a website or
1:12:33
whatever I can do that, that's always an
1:12:35
option. But if you wanna be. Ah,
1:12:38
Lung. I want if Obama
1:12:40
to do movie I wanted. In. A
1:12:43
feeder aura one it on the biggest
1:12:45
streaming platform because there is something to
1:12:47
be said about having having your project
1:12:50
on. You know, like I have Netflix
1:12:52
specials. I don't have specials that are
1:12:54
online, you know, collect? Your
1:12:57
looked at a certain way if you if you
1:12:59
release you special or buy yourself some people say
1:13:01
oh well I guess is special wasn't good enough
1:13:04
to be on amazon or netflix and he just
1:13:06
told chance to do on his own unless you
1:13:08
do something like a Louis ck where he one
1:13:10
of actually making more money or producing is himself
1:13:13
when he know like ah what happened how come
1:13:15
he's no longer on that's what kind of us
1:13:17
a thing where people like okay I guess he's
1:13:19
gone down know. And that's
1:13:21
that's part of it's and as dangerous as
1:13:24
an image thing and you've worked so hard
1:13:26
to maintain that. and so this image that
1:13:28
you've bills and as I'm looking around, Woes.
1:13:30
We've got a factory your what we
1:13:33
would would you compounds the compound this tude
1:13:35
com pass I'm seeing marvel on C
1:13:37
W W East. Did any these influence you
1:13:39
on how to patrol fluffy and bring
1:13:41
fluffy into a bigger. Realm.
1:13:43
Like did you take from their ideas? Like were
1:13:45
you inspired by W of Eat or you just
1:13:48
a fan of it? I'm a huge fan of
1:13:50
wrestling. I'm a huge fan of Stubby W. Eve.
1:13:53
And I've are modeled a lot of what
1:13:55
I do after professional wrestling because I'm such
1:13:57
a huge fan and I just love. The
1:14:00
lights. I love the show. I love
1:14:02
the environment, I love the excitement. I
1:14:04
love the products in the March. All
1:14:07
of that is is like this like
1:14:09
wow it's It's so cool all the
1:14:11
way around and I love the details.
1:14:14
I love the details and the quality
1:14:16
of the product is so high. And.
1:14:19
I did. In fact when I started
1:14:21
doing my shows I will spend extra
1:14:24
money so that my stage looks. Like.
1:14:26
A special a dozen just look like us
1:14:28
they just built the States Begin the microphone
1:14:30
there's a curtain I was doing is think
1:14:32
know man I have production I tell people
1:14:34
my shows Ww He Meets The Food Network.
1:14:37
Yes, Is no and by the way
1:14:39
your stadium feeling sorry for Dodgers there
1:14:41
for your daughter. So. It
1:14:43
looked your status so beautiful. I love
1:14:45
your logo of you going like this
1:14:47
like it looks so good with your
1:14:50
palm trees is incredible. To money well spent as
1:14:52
you see those Yeah, yeah, I know. As soon as you
1:14:54
walk out with i Love It and you want to
1:14:56
make people. Feel like the money that they
1:14:58
spent that were on your show? Wow,
1:15:00
look at this you know? And and
1:15:02
so I definitely. I have no problem
1:15:04
spending money on making my show look
1:15:06
better. I know I'm gonna go out
1:15:09
there and give the best freaking comedy
1:15:11
show I can give. But
1:15:13
they're not just their. you know, I'm
1:15:15
not there for the entire experience. In
1:15:17
all, I'm not. They're walking in the
1:15:19
front door seeing this. I'm not there.
1:15:21
Sitting down early on. you know that
1:15:23
the people are still in that environment
1:15:25
and so you want to give them
1:15:27
as much. You. Know as you can
1:15:30
at least I do and I I feel
1:15:32
that we want to go to wrestling events
1:15:34
when I'm at a wrestling event on my
1:15:36
medical license or kinds of stuff. We got
1:15:38
the screens and the intros are always big
1:15:40
and loud and you know there's twenty different
1:15:43
t shirts I can buy all Mannix doesn't.
1:15:45
This is cool because I'm a teacher like
1:15:47
you know. I liked all of that and
1:15:49
so I said Man, I go A this
1:15:51
is working. The lines are long for the
1:15:53
March and I think that's a lot of
1:15:55
times of comics missed the boat on that.
1:15:58
There's like you. Can you can. Definitely.
1:16:02
Do. A whole nother business. You know? if
1:16:04
you got people there that are really supporting
1:16:06
you and they're already invested in what you
1:16:08
do, you know they're just gonna help promote
1:16:10
you more. If you put it as track,
1:16:12
put a teacher out there see, see what
1:16:14
happens? Early. On
1:16:16
all I saw were Cds. Oh
1:16:19
and my buddy Martine goes to get us. Are
1:16:21
some teachers on like why am I going to
1:16:23
school Teacher Marty and I go. The Cd cost
1:16:25
me seventy five cents to make. I sell it
1:16:27
for twenty autographed yet sanded Martine. It's a certain
1:16:29
if I said adults your coffee for fifty to
1:16:31
make and I'd sell it for twenty. I go.
1:16:34
I'm losing money. On that in
1:16:36
mom and my mind he was yeah but
1:16:38
people want to shirts wouldn't want cds. I
1:16:40
know they don't try. Citizen
1:16:43
Right and hundred raining I read. Why
1:16:45
is there are guys who sister. Is
1:16:48
like giving you money idea either. I
1:16:50
good friends and then A but then once up
1:16:53
but then once I started doing that the the
1:16:55
merge I wanted to merge to be of the
1:16:57
highest quality I don't want. Jang
1:16:59
T. hokey freakin in all the
1:17:02
shirts feeling all wrong for being
1:17:04

1:17:06
the the brand that everybody would
1:17:08
use a roof sheath. Ah,
1:17:11

1:17:26
said well that's also holding my breath on it example
1:17:28

1:17:34
a wedding where the sea of a lot of respect
1:17:37
when it comes to your art that ah yes why
1:17:39
you're you're very were Europe and and also to lead.
1:17:41
I. Wanted the best of the best so that
1:17:43
everything on. Putting out there, even if.
1:17:45
I'm at even if I could make more money
1:17:47
by using. Cheaper. Things.
1:17:50
I. Don't want that. I wanted to be
1:17:52
compared to. Like. When people come onto
1:17:55
the shows what was like risk the show.
1:17:57
As Big Merc's lines are long people are
1:17:59
excited. It's. Environment: There's families that like.
1:18:01
I love that people compare my show
1:18:03
to wrestling like it's a thing. Everybody
1:18:06
that walks around states has an intro
1:18:08
video that plays As or Walk Him
1:18:10
Out. In. Orbit comes out to big
1:18:12
music and lights and movements and own and I
1:18:15
come out and it's all bagel regular. Oh my
1:18:17
god it's like. It's
1:18:19
like wrestling. So yes very much I I
1:18:22
i I liked what they were doing and
1:18:24
I wanted us. To. Do that
1:18:26
and so you know. getting the the
1:18:28
paying for a really good artist to
1:18:30
design my stuff. Paying for really good
1:18:32
artist too you know Acree either you
1:18:35
know the original logo which took when
1:18:37
in so many different directions to get
1:18:39
its were or it is now and
1:18:41
and and. Being. Able to.
1:18:44
Create products and stuff and and
1:18:46
and build these relationships with companies
1:18:48
like fungal. Fonkoze.
1:18:51
One of those things were like now I saw Funk or Pops
1:18:53
on the road. But. We I had
1:18:55
established that relationships, but they needed to see
1:18:57
that my brand was a certain level for
1:18:59
them to want to work with me. same
1:19:01
thing would like Up a Be or any
1:19:04
these other brands that likes Volkswagen. They needed
1:19:06
to see that I was at a certain
1:19:08
place for them to go. Okay, and you
1:19:10
do that by investing in yourself, spending the
1:19:12
money to make sure you're giving the most
1:19:15
quality possible. And yes, you can save money.
1:19:17
Yes, you can use cheaper things, but in
1:19:19
the long run, you know, spend the money.
1:19:22
Put. Up good quality stuff and then watch
1:19:24
as people will gravitate towards that. In all,
1:19:26
people want to make that quick money. right
1:19:28
now. no one's willing to take the time
1:19:31
to pot plant the seed. No one wants
1:19:33
to plant the seed baron. Want a whole
1:19:35
truth and want the longer they want the
1:19:38
money right now. Nobel on the plant the
1:19:40
seed because not a lot of people dug
1:19:42
the ditch. Look at their
1:19:44
what about full circle right? So a lot
1:19:47
of epic a set us up before we
1:19:49
get started. On
1:19:52
that side. Lover you care so much of a
1:19:54
your audience and few tricks on how you would want
1:19:56
to be treated you like what would I wanna the
1:19:58
south and you get that. For them with I
1:20:01
think it is wonderful. And the first,
1:20:03
However, the comedy. a joke or maybe open up
1:20:05
from his. Are you gonna come on stage and
1:20:07
my brother, government or job never run a joke?
1:20:09
I loved your jaws. He's got such a big
1:20:11
heart My mom and dad lie. So much energy
1:20:13
opened the door. You'd come to our house after
1:20:15
show. I'm not exaggerating. Three. O'clock in
1:20:17
the morning my mom's making for dinner
1:20:19
for him and everybody on his team
1:20:22
were hanging out and he is without
1:20:24
a doubt one of the most kind
1:20:26
hearted human beings I've ever met in
1:20:28
my life. And. Before.
1:20:31
I left in heat up I was starting
1:20:33
to learn from him. He t said look
1:20:35
at man and in promise me this he
1:20:37
goes never sell a ticket. And. Less
1:20:39
you know for affected by it again. He
1:20:42
goes because once you select ticket. That.
1:20:44
Nobody would want to buy again. He goes
1:20:46
the word of mouth. Of not buying your
1:20:49
ticket. It's forever he goes People
1:20:51

hard on the way out the all said I
1:21:01
can't wait for the next one. Can
1:21:03
we for the next one? And I thought
1:21:06
it's because truly I listened to him when
1:21:08
he said do not ever go out and
1:21:10
just try to make a dollar. And
1:21:12
I think a lot of people in my
1:21:15

1:24:30
that are not an industry see but you're
1:24:32
bragging. Oh yes, you are like flexing or that, but.
1:24:34

1:24:46
is man or bodies the grew I don't Do
1:24:48
you have anybody like that. In.
1:24:51
The been my buddy Martines. You know
1:24:53
I mean earth eat. The thing with
1:24:55
me is that once I started. Working.
1:24:58
And going on the road. I. Stayed on
1:25:00
the road and so. Unfortunately,
1:25:03
I didn't. I wasn't able to branch
1:25:05
out and build all these relationships here
1:25:07
at home because I was always out.
1:25:09
I was always gone, so I wasn't
1:25:11
able to get into certain circles because
1:25:13
I wasn't around. And I
1:25:16
feel like that's why the relationship I
1:25:18
have with my friend Martine and him
1:25:20
anybody around me is so strong because
1:25:22
would been on the road together for
1:25:24
so many years. So. Many
1:25:26
years ago he just did what I am a
1:25:28
memory. Yeah. But as as far as
1:25:30
like you know anybody like that no man it's
1:25:33
I thought it was cool that he brought Tiffany
1:25:35
to my show. Other. It'll
1:25:37
and added from Tiffany's Him back back in the day.
1:25:40
It's not the Laugh Factory and stuff. But
1:25:43
I didn't have anybody that that I was
1:25:45
coming up with new and all because I
1:25:47
was, I was already gone. And
1:25:50
what was your first? like break? like where you're
1:25:52
like oh shoot this is really gonna spin mean
1:25:54
a different direction. Ah
1:25:58
did a television show called Guy Locals. Back.
1:26:02
In the early two thousand and
1:26:04
it was a show that was.
1:26:07
It was the. Like.
1:26:09
Latino version of of Def Jam.
1:26:11
basically. If if that makes
1:26:13
sense it was a will know she's right
1:26:16
is it was a show that that that
1:26:18
showcased new to new up and coming talent.
1:26:20
Gotta yeah but it was all it was
1:26:22
very latin driven with everybody was the people
1:26:24
of color on the show yeah and it
1:26:26
was on this network called Gala Vision Television
1:26:28
and. Gonna be see. It's
1:26:31
a Spanish network so everything's in
1:26:33
Spanish at soccer games as boxing,
1:26:35
it's soap operas, everything's in Spanish.
1:26:37
I was just everyday source these
1:26:39
comedy show was on the network
1:26:41
and it was an English and
1:26:43
so it was the weirdest thing
1:26:45
because. The. Network didn't
1:26:47
have a lot of of of
1:26:49
original programming to put up. The
1:26:52
comedy show was there's show so they
1:26:54
would run the shit out of that
1:26:56
show. All. Day that show would
1:26:59
air once they had up a bunch of
1:27:01
episodes. That aired to three
1:27:03
times per day and so people would
1:27:05
always like a it was just there
1:27:07
in on this is before we all
1:27:09
the you tube and all that stuff
1:27:11
so you vs surface of the young.
1:27:13
The. Other channels plus
1:27:15
they ran ads for the in I Don't
1:27:18
Forget to Miss or the cats, the show
1:27:20
blah blah us and then we the telcos
1:27:22
tour and there were there were promoting the
1:27:24
tour and they would promote it three four
1:27:26
times in our see your Elegant People skull
1:27:28
was always on the screen and so that's
1:27:30
what got my face out there nice and
1:27:32
and I was able to build off of
1:27:34
that because we gotta that these markets were
1:27:36
before I was doing a comedy club and
1:27:39
with radio and promotion and been really promoting
1:27:41
it's I could sell tickets but man being
1:27:43
on one commercial. From that show, we
1:27:45
were able to select theaters Whoa Gas!
1:27:47
So that was the huge first jump
1:27:49
right there. And I already had a
1:27:51
Comedy Central special under my belt at
1:27:53
that point. And that
1:27:55
Comedy Central special only got me credibility to
1:27:58
get booked. but it didn't. The
1:28:00
Medically Equal tickets. This show Equal
1:28:02
tickets. Let people been watching. Live.
1:28:04
In Waterloo? Gonna we're. About the want to
1:28:06
conceal now. So it's a for our would
1:28:08
love to walk through this right? I.
1:28:10
Wanna know the first time you sold out
1:28:13
the club cedar and Stadium because all three
1:28:15
are like. I. Know there was
1:28:17
significantly different ticket sales but to the horror
1:28:19
it's like a it's the same thing with
1:28:21
you cheat from the you work for. Do
1:28:23
you remember these days or why remember the
1:28:25
club? The club was in Texas, El Paso,
1:28:27
Texas for some reason getting back to Texas
1:28:29
against. Yeah, I
1:28:32
sold out of a comedy
1:28:34
club called The Comic Strip
1:28:36
and El Paso and I
1:28:38
remember hearing stories about Carlos
1:28:40
Men sia Ah. Selling.
1:28:42
Tickets. And. They're like
1:28:44
yam and see a he to walk out here with
1:28:47
Twenty five k. He.
1:28:49
Walked out here were twenty five. came in
1:28:51
on my. Dad just blew
1:28:53
my mind. What are you freaking kidding me?
1:28:55
Like because of the time of the comic
1:28:58
making what as a feature? Five hundred
1:29:00
dollars for the week. So.
1:29:02
How many nights wrote some it as I target
1:29:04
else like five Shot yeah as a feature. And
1:29:07
to hear that somebody could make twenty
1:29:09
five thousand like. Oh
1:29:11
My. God. Like that. I don't have to do
1:29:13
one show year set up at the one one
1:29:15
week. You know what it means to see us
1:29:17
as so. I. Remember
1:29:20
when I when I finally got a
1:29:22
door deal you get a door deal
1:29:24
and that it was all negotiated an
1:29:26
I had. I. Made seventeen
1:29:28
thousand dollars. The
1:29:31
entire weekend was sold out at at the at
1:29:33
the club. And. I was just
1:29:35
like wow and on legs. Are.
1:29:38
You kidding me? I'm just. I just stared
1:29:40
at the check and just like this is
1:29:42
insane. How many people can I'd like to
1:29:44
read last night? Assist assess know and I'll
1:29:46
believe me I did this. I
1:29:49
don't mind about your people and I think that's
1:29:52
why it hurts you when they try to throw
1:29:54
you with the guilt because you like do you
1:29:56
have no idea? Canada and the guilt trips Man
1:29:58
it's as sucks is it sucks. And
1:30:00
I I hate disappointing. I
1:30:02
hate. Telling. People know it's
1:30:04
it's and all. Embrace
1:30:07
Are you want to do everything? You
1:30:09
want this is a little. you provide laughter
1:30:11
and smile. Your goal is to make you
1:30:13
when you walk in. I want you to
1:30:15
be happier now and then leave. That's your
1:30:17
like the doctor of laughter right? So when
1:30:20
your own loved ones are looking at you
1:30:22
and they know who you are and then
1:30:24
they say that two things happen. One. You.
1:30:26
Go! Do you even know who I am? You.
1:30:29
See me do this for strangers. You know what I
1:30:31
do for my family and your choosing me to be
1:30:33
something I'm not that breaks you to then you're like
1:30:35
okay, Are you here for the wrong reasons? Am I
1:30:37
Am I. A mirage
1:30:39
Now at this point and in the
1:30:41
second thing is. Okay,
1:30:43
now now I have learned I can do this for
1:30:45
somebody and the that also hurts because there's a lot
1:30:48
of joy you do when you set somebody up for
1:30:50
success Like I'll never forget, The Jo Koy was the
1:30:52
one that brought males. this. I'll always give him credit
1:30:54
for that and I look forward to doing something successful.
1:30:56
Zoc, you go out to be like Joe. Look what
1:30:58
I did when you give me that opportunity and I'd
1:31:00
appreciate if somebody plays ball with me that way. But
1:31:02
when they don't, it hurts mint. There's only one thing
1:31:05
that six my positioning on that thought. Was.
1:31:07
Got. Because. My mom with
1:31:09
them and she goes hey. See,
1:31:12
your friend breaks your heart like three times in a row.
1:31:15
How many times have you ask God for forgiveness
1:31:17
on the same thing that you promised them you
1:31:19
wouldn't do and you you know your heart. You
1:31:21
didn't mean to do that but your surroundings and
1:31:23
your emotions made you lead to make that decision.
1:31:25
So show them grace and know that God bless
1:31:27
to this way because he knows you could handle
1:31:29
this type of life and so when somebody else
1:31:31
fails you in your eyes he shouldn't look at
1:31:33
them be like look at just how to do
1:31:35
to make set. The sad truth is look at
1:31:37
you doing to yourself man because I know you're
1:31:39
doing this to me you're gonna be doing this
1:31:41
Other people and people catch on. Which
1:31:45
got details yet? not yet. Here's this this

1:32:12
waiting list to get on you that
1:32:14
there's a whole process just to be
1:32:16
able to go in that. The reason
1:32:19
I brought it up is because the

you can get a Disney Land. There's no way they're
1:32:43
going to treat you better than this. Live
1:32:46

1:32:50
industry at all but my god this man will

1:33:08
This is gonna come with this room and this
1:33:10

1:33:12
experience. I like experiences specially dinners

And mind you for this reservation he has a
1:33:19
you can only say get a reservation He is
1:33:21
the way for certain. Call the happens like once
1:33:23
a year and you have to call at midnight.
1:33:26
To. Get the and there's only like one the you
1:33:28
can get her teaching get dips below thirty two tables.
1:33:30
So you if you don't get it you don't get it assesses so
1:33:33
he gets it and I didn't I big of a deal is was.
1:33:36
We. Get there. We sit down as a
1:33:38
five course meal. You. Get
1:33:40
know menus. The. Chef comes up to
1:33:42
you. And it just sits. There are fluffy.
1:33:44
Tommy. Myself a new start talking and he
1:33:46
goes okay enough and I'll talk to somebody
1:33:48
else to tell me some of Isis is
1:33:50
I suppose. That. Little go to the
1:33:52
next one and then we get five
1:33:55
meals that are perfectly for us. And
1:33:57
it a blew my mind. A was the
1:33:59
most. Magical! Wow dinner I've ever met Thirty
1:34:01
three know as as a disney but it
1:34:03
it's not up about not as others have
1:34:05
club thirty three hours as soon as compare
1:34:07
because I thought maybe you've done both I
1:34:09
wanted to know name of the places assist
1:34:11
table or non illinois the chef's table yet.
1:34:14
None of the experiences the sustainable but
1:34:16
the rest sausages call something road but
1:34:18
the rest of the restaurant is next
1:34:20
to the California hotel the up sooner
1:34:22
than the California hotel that touch the
1:34:24
California side of things right it's the
1:34:26
restaurant like attached that hotel and tossing
1:34:28
it's rose. I don't know what carbs I
1:34:30
don't have. You got to tell me what's yeah?
1:34:32
Suck it up. So the reason I brought this
1:34:34
up as if I could magically is possibly get
1:34:36
that table would you have dinner with neither. Snow
1:34:39
nor to try to look. this is
1:34:41
just another also a mountain glaciers. Are
1:34:45
no. But seriously, later. As a mother went
1:34:47
and by the way and by the
1:34:49
way this what happens wait assists. the
1:34:51
suicide of about a sub is a
1:34:53
hard surface as he heard me crying.
1:34:55
Large act as good food and isn't
1:34:57
that enough? is he says contribute a
1:34:59
slice of a lift weights after? Yeah
1:35:01
sure see I thought about it will
1:35:03
bring your supporters will fall apart not
1:35:05
yammering sooner. He walked in. apartments severe
1:35:07
as. Well, as you wanna know because
1:35:09
I saw there was some speculation on line
1:35:12
as on article that came from a January
1:35:14
Twenty Four that said that you were thinking
1:35:16
about retiring after this tour. Is
1:35:19
that something they you still considering. I.
1:35:22
Had said it because I really felt like
1:35:24
you know I had jumped the shark after
1:35:26
Dodger Stadium on like among the other side
1:35:28
of it now has how do you. Would.
1:35:31
You do, Then you know Mike. What's the next? goal? How do you.
1:35:34
Mean. Most. People never achieve
1:35:36
that now in life. And to. Didn't
1:35:38
like I felt like the me when I did
1:35:40
Dodger Stadium on like. You. Know thought was
1:35:42
to die tomorrow. There. Is the
1:35:44
movie. New York. I mean, for like.
1:35:47
okay. So now we did it. Now.
1:35:49
What are we going to do? like? Oh my God
1:35:51
We're We're literally on the other side. I'm on the
1:35:53
other side of I picked out. Now.
1:35:55
On the other end. so I'm like. What?
1:35:59
Else can I bring to the? Table. And your
1:36:01
I mean and so like I'm very
1:36:03
if I need a goal I need
1:36:05
be something to work towards of you
1:36:07
sound If you know I have I
1:36:09
have I have found the the next
1:36:11
goal or irrelevant know I'll tell you
1:36:13
know Second, but I've I've struggled with
1:36:15
that whole idea of retiring just because
1:36:17
I feel like I work so much.
1:36:19
I spend so much time on the
1:36:21
road and I'm away from from this.
1:36:23
I'm away from friends, I'm away from
1:36:25
family. I'm away because I'm at work
1:36:27
and I'm enjoying it. But it's also
1:36:29
taxing. And
1:36:31
I said you know what? as I think I've done very
1:36:34
well for myself and. Let's. Go enjoy
1:36:36
the fruits of the labor And I'm saying and
1:36:38
little I did. I did say I even said
1:36:40
I'm on stage or make I think this is.
1:36:42
Now. But. The problem is, I still love
1:36:45
it. I still love it. And. And
1:36:47
I'm young A and and. But I'm also
1:36:49
afraid of. Of going stale.
1:36:51
I'm afraid of people seeing the show ongoing.
1:36:54
You know what? I use that as funny
1:36:56
as he used to be, I might you
1:36:58
know I don't want. People. Getting
1:37:00
a watered down version. Of
1:37:03
the show saw Anita L. can't that's one six
1:37:05
don't like. Okay we gotta go do more shows.
1:37:07
Get through This represents go in this angle born
1:37:09
that angle. try something different and I'll and wrestling.
1:37:12
It's called a. Month
1:37:14
when people start fizzling out. And
1:37:16
they're good guys. The do this thing called a heel turn. Were.
1:37:19
All of a sudden I was a good
1:37:21
guy. Nom. a bad guy so I feel
1:37:23
like I still have that in in mind.
1:37:26
Scene. Where as a comic who doesn't get
1:37:28
political, doesn't get controversial, doesn't get in certain
1:37:30
veins? Certain topics. There's a lot of things
1:37:33
I shy away from because I don't want
1:37:35
to ruffle feathers, because I want to have
1:37:37
people that come out a in. and I
1:37:39
want to bring people together, not divide people.
1:37:42
In all sides of people know that that's that's
1:37:44
the show that I do. I bring people together,
1:37:47
but if I ever get to a place where
1:37:49
I I feel like. You. Know.
1:37:52
As as I could ever do anything different
1:37:54
to. Reinvent. Myself in other
1:37:56
could be a thing where maybe all
1:37:58
of a sudden I. I have. A
1:38:01
real strong opinion about things I learned this
1:38:03
year for we really are. You came out
1:38:05
of the elevator and you said hey, I'm
1:38:07
excited about the show. And the first
1:38:09
thing I said you after watching reform I said hey man.
1:38:12
I guess your lot of your opinions are you
1:38:14
going that direction and like was very excited about
1:38:16
that because you didn't have such a funny way
1:38:19
and was light hearted. but I could tell all
1:38:21
your perspectives are now being shown. That's a cool
1:38:23
thing as I get it. Okay so the he'll
1:38:25
turn his you're doing this and if god forbid
1:38:27
they say always be to like this that's your
1:38:30
church to switch. but you're actually just try to
1:38:32
show people. What's. In your heart and out
1:38:34
of hello. I'm really trying. Yeah, so I'm. I'm
1:38:37
putting up there like stopped. It's
1:38:39
like wolves you but. I'm
1:38:41
the. The trick is to be able
1:38:43
to do it in a comedic with
1:38:45
people are still getting the last, people
1:38:47
are still getting the shelf and it's
1:38:49
not coming across preachy or you know?
1:38:51
here's the agenda, you know? But I'm
1:38:53
I'm telling these stories where I'm letting
1:38:56
people know more about me. like like
1:38:58
the stuff that we would talk about
1:39:00
if we go get a drink. Yeah,
1:39:02
like a like Oregon an opinion I'll
1:39:04
tell you. I try not to put
1:39:06
that out there so that the reinventing
1:39:08
part is starting to introduce real opinions
1:39:10
into the show. But. Do it in
1:39:12
a way that it do it in the style
1:39:14
that I've been doing it and you're finally. Ready
1:39:16
to share that part of you and be more?
1:39:18
I'm. Owning so there is a joke you better than
1:39:21
I thought about a lot. I don't wanna say it
1:39:23
now because of my be i'm eternally you're working on
1:39:25
for the future. But there was one thing you said
1:39:27
a beep it up so we could just like covered
1:39:29
by it was. Ah
1:39:33
yes that to me. I thought about it every
1:39:35
day since you said that because I was like
1:39:37
damn, I never thought about it. From that point
1:39:39
of view, that could be so. Demotivating
1:39:41
and annoying. But then
1:39:44
also was thinking about me being a Syrian nobody
1:39:46
even knowing who I was. So like I was
1:39:48
like. I. Wish somebody even knew
1:39:50
what my people were. I'm.
1:39:53
Excited to see your new worth
1:39:55
of their Am! So yeah I'm
1:39:57
I'm gonna be recording any special
1:39:59
in July and yeah, so. How
1:40:03
do you top that last show that
1:40:05
I did? There is no topping that
1:40:07
particular show. That's A and done. I'll
1:40:09
never do Dodger Stadium again, nor do
1:40:11
I want to do it again. It's
1:40:13
special because I did it once. in
1:40:15
all some I'm grateful that it happen
1:40:17
and best night of my life for
1:40:19
me to wanna stay excited and want
1:40:21
to continue to be a comic. I
1:40:23
definitely needed to start introducing new ideas
1:40:25
into the show and this new special.
1:40:27
I think you heard some of the
1:40:29
material already like. The
1:40:31
spices it is. it's gotta. Love the color looks, hang
1:40:33
on it and I don't know how people are
1:40:36
going to receive it, but I think it's one
1:40:38
of those things where you know along this road
1:40:40
you have people that you know. Get.
1:40:42
On the bus and people that get off
1:40:44
the bus and fortunately more people are getting on
1:40:46
the bus than getting off and I think
1:40:48
as long as there's growth in because every day
1:40:51
on one a monitoring social media and I'm
1:40:53
looking at numbers and it always shows you
1:40:55
how many new followers you have but it also
1:40:57
shows you how many people on followed you
1:40:59
and that as I move. really what a do
1:41:01
that sam the sense that know what I
1:41:03
post the lead to that but then it's
1:41:05
like but you see the new follows and as
1:41:07
long as a new followers are bigger than
1:41:09
the on follows. A thinker. Okay yeah
1:41:11
I'm going to see that side of the
1:41:14
oldest. this material yeah this is very or
1:41:16
is great it's gonna be You know? I
1:41:18
have to say I think a source from what
1:41:20
I watched you on Joe Stage is one of
1:41:22
my favorite materials is done. Because. I
1:41:24
felt like you are literally peaking back the curtain and letting
1:41:26
us be able to see from your point of this and
1:41:28
set of that story they are telling like you know I'm
1:41:30
