00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 4: time when it seems like a short amount of time

00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,000

51

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,320

00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: it was one of those like are you kidding me?

62
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,720

Speaker 4: and Joe Koi.

81
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: It's called the super Bowl of Comedy. How did that

82
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: idea come about?

83
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: It was me. I will take full credit for that idea,

84
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: just because it's like, you know, you do the math.

85
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: Djokoy has I think the most sold out shows for

86
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: a comedian at the Forum, and between that and the

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: numbers that I did at Dodger Stadium, I said, hey man, look,

88
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: our fan base is very similar. Every time I crash

89
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: his show, people go crazy. Every time he crashes my show,

90
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: people go crazy. So I said, you know, it's become

91
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: a little redundant. Man, how many how many sold out

92
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: shows at the Forum do you want to do? So?

93
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: I was asked to present him with a plaque for

94
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: the all those sold out shows, and I said, hey, man,

95
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: and I'm talking on the micro in front of all

96
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: those people, and I said, I want to present you

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: with this, but how about we do something together? And

98
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, show here at the Forum. I go, no, man,

99
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: let's take it across the street. And when I said that,

100
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: the crowd went crazy, and I'm like, dude, that's the

101
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: focus group right there. They just approved that. I said,

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: let's do it. The numbers make sense. Yes, you know

103
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: all these sold out shows, my sold out shows, we

104
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: put those together. That's a sold out stadium.

105
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean think about it. That stadium holds

106
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: seventy five eighty thousand. No comedy show can ever has

107
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: ever said, yeah, okay, if you sell out five Madison

108
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: Square gardeners, but one show one, you're going to be

109
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: the first.

110
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: You and enjoyed to be the four the first to

111
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: do that.

112
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: And it's officially sold out, so that the hardest part

113
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: is over. Now we got to deliver.

114
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 4: You definitely gotta live so is this is it going

115
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: to get screamed anywhere? Or is just it's just you

116
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: and here.

117
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: So the beauty of this show is that with Dodger Stadium,

118
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: it was it was really challenging because I had to perform,

119
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: and then I also had to report to Netflix. I

120
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: had to deliver a special. I'm recording a special. I'd

121
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: never done a stadium before, so we had to make

122
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: sure the sound, the lighting, the production, everything was at

123
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: a certain level. So I was so stressed out just

124
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: trying to make sure that everything was gonna, you know, work.

125
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't worried about my set, the material was there,

126
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: but I was worried about everything else, plus making sure

127
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: Netflix was happy. And this one we cut everybody out.

128
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: It's just a performance, So it's a one and done.

129
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Anyone who goes, they're going to see the show and

130
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: it's only for them.

131
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 4: And they can be saying, you know what, I was

132
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: there when Gabe Enjoy sold.

133
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: Out, so fi.

134
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's not being streamed anywhere, it's not being

135
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, it's it's just for us.

136
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 4: You're known for your impressions, give me your top five impressions.

137
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: I think more so the the impressions are more like

138
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: people are just characters as opposed to like legit impressions.

139
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Because my impressions are there, they're okay, but it's not like,

140
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, like oh my god, it's not like it's

141
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: so spot on where it's like I'm trying to think

142
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: like Godfrey when he does oh, when he does Steve Harvey,

143
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: when he does Steve Harvey, you close your eyes and

144
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: you see Arvey.

145
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: Or he does he does me, I mean he's really good.

146
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: Or when he does Jason Statham.

147
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: That's another one.

148
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: So when you when you go into it, I guess

149
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: this is method active. I guess when you go into

150
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 4: a character because you've done a lot of voice of

151
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: voice acting, So how do you how do you come

152
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: Like they show you the character, they show you the schedule,

153
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: says okay, this is who we want you to play,

154
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: and do you says okay, I will be Gabe, or

155
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: do you transform yourself and says I'm gonna be here.

156
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: If we're doing a voiceover, like for a movie, sometimes

234
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: Mexican to actually voice Speedy Gonzalees. It's always been uh

235
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: other than really yeah, I didn't know that it was

236
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: the first one. So I was very proud of that.

237
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, but.

238
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: But Speedy, but Speedy got a little got a little,

239
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 4: got little part your own.

240
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: I mean he got everything he is, he's born.

241
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: And he's years ago. When they took him off the air,

242
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: Mexicans actually protest. They were upset. They're like, this is

243
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: the only representation we have, and you took him away

244
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: from this because someone else was offended, not us.

245
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, oh my goodness.

246
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 4: You also you turned down Happy Feet. You had an opportunity, oh,

247
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: because that was a great caft, the great Robbie Williams.

248
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even know how you know that.

249
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, many years ago auditioned for this film called

250
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: Happy Feet, and I got the part. I got the part,

251
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: and I even had a part where there was singing involved.

252
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: Right.

253
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: It was a song from uh it was my Way,

254
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: sung in Spanish, and so I did the song in Spanish.

255
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: It was originally done by the Gypsy Kings did it

256
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: in Spanish, and so I had to sing the song

257
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: and so they liked the voice, they liked the way

258
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: that they sang, and then they offered me the part.

259
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: But they said at the time they the budget was

260
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: really like they're talking about points, yeah, because they didn't

261
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: have a front money, right, And at the time, I

262
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: was doing really well at the clubs. Yes, at the

263
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, my manager at the time said, you know what,

264
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: the stupid movie about penguins are you kidding me? Go

265
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: on the road, go make that money or make your

266
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: freaking eight hundred dollars plus points, because that's basically what

267
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: it was movie. So I passed on the movie. The

268
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: movie freaking blew almost it was stupid. It was stupid,

269
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: It was so stupid. And anyway, she's no longer my manager.

270
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, and every time I see a pinguin, I

271
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: cried just a little, just a little tier, just a

272
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: little tier. But I love the fact that Robin Williams

273
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: got the party that I passed on, and I'm.

274
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: So you were going to be the lead.

275
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: Uh, it was not the lead. It was the It

276
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: was the Deli penguin that was like the sidekids.

277
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was yeah, yeah, it was Robine's

278
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 4: part because you look, you had Robbie Williams, you had

279
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 4: Nicole Kidman.

280
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: I think Emily Blunt was in it, Britney Murphy.

281
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: Now keep in mind that's when they actually that's when

282
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: they got a budget. I came in super early, when

283
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: it was just like, so.

284
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: You you have made more because you got the yes,

285
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: but you don't know.

286
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: You never know. And so the fact that the fact

287
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: that I turned down that movie and it was as

288
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: as successful as it was, it made me say yes

289
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: to any time an animated film came across my table.

290
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: I said yes automatically. I didn't even want to know

291
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: don't even tell me what the deal is. Yes, I'm there.

292
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm there because you know.

293
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 4: The animations are always going to do well, because because

294
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 4: the kids want to go, and guess what, the parents

295
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 4: got to go. So now you got instead of one person,

296
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 4: you got two, three, four, five, six people coming.

297
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 2: To the movie. So animation always really does really, really well.

298
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: So I wanted I made a mistake again. Uh in animation.

299
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: I was in a movie called planes, Called Planes, and

300
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: in this movie, the lead was Dane Cook and the

301
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: second character who was going to be like the the

302
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: major in cars basically like think of cars. So they

303
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: made the major character the sidekick. I was scared. I was.

304
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: I was that was me. I was the I was

305
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: the major character. I was the sidekick. And they said,

306
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: all right, look we need you to come and do

307
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: a table read. All the characters are going to be there.

308
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: They're going to do a table read for the executives. Well,

309
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of work on the road on

310
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,400

00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of work and it's not fun.

345
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: Comedy is fun, stand up is fun. And doing voiceover work,

346
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: you just show up. You don't got to memorize lines.

347
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: They feed you before you go on the booth.

348
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: Do you need anything else? Do you want anything else? Okay?

349
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: You know it's cool and then you know you leave

350
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: and everyone's happy and you know, and then you show

351
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: up and do.

352
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: Press is you it is turning down happy feet and

353
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 4: going on the road and doing your gig because, as

354
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 4: you mentioned, that's what pays the bills. That's how kep

357
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: Is that probably your biggest regret as.

358
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: Far as work goes, Yeah, definitely, because I know that

359
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: would have that would have definitely changed my life early on.

360
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: But does that but now all of a sudden you

361
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 4: got millions in your pocket, gave it changes the way

362
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 4: you think, It changed the way you do things.

363
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: It does change the way you think, but it doesn't

364
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: take away from the fact that you acknowledge that there

365
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: was an opportunity there. You should have taken it. You

366
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: should have done everything you could with that opportunity, and

367
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: you didn't. And because you didn't, and you saw what

368
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: it turned into. It's a reminder, don't take these little parts,

369
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: these little things for granted. These little seeds can turn

370
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: into a giant tree, you know. So don't ever think

371
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: that you're you know, you're you're too good, or that

372
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: something can't be.

373
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: Even a Red Williams a chore. You started out as.

374
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: They started off as a seed. So yeah, it's just

375
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: it's but it's a reminder, you know. And and I

376
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: know all of this can go away with one bad tweet.

377
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I mean.

378
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: So you ah, man, I'm very.

379
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: Selective with my tweets. Yeah, you know. They say they

380
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: say you can say whatever you want. You can't.

381
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 4: You can't you free it's freedom of speech, but you're

382
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 4: not consequence.

383
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: There you go you and in our game, it's one

384
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: of those things where because of the size of the platform,

385
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: everything you say is dissect but everything you say can

386
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: be you can take it one way or another. And

387
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: so you you do have to be careful because you

388
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: got to protect that. You built this thing up. You

389
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: work really hard to get it to where it's at,

390
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,000

428
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 4: I'm sure young and up and coming comedians ask you,

429
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: gave Man, You've been in this thing almost thirty years

430
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 4: how have you been able to enjoy the level of success?

433
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: sure there are a lot of times that you're like, man,

434
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 4: I don't know if this thing for me.

435
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: I think all of that was early on. A lot

436
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: of that was in the beginning. I think the hardest

437
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: part of doing what I'm doing is it was early

438
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: on because you weren't sure. You know. It's like, I

439
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: had a really good job. I had a job that

440
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: paid me five thousand dollars a month. Keep in mind

441
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: this is nineteen ninety seven. My rent was maybe five

442
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month. I had a carnal that was

443
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: maybe one hundred and fifty dollars plus insurance. I was

444
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: doing extremely well for myself. I was selling cell phones

445
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: for a company called La Cellular, which eventually turned into

446
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: AT and T. And I was selling phones and making

447
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: commission and I was just I was killing it. I

448
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: had a badass leather jacket from Wilson's House of suede.

449
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Remember Wilson's House. A swede the ball you walk by

450
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: and the like, yeah, smell it, you smell it, you know,

451
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like that in the food court,

452
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: two things that we could smell, and so I was

453
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: doing really well. So to give that up to chase

454
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: this dream where basically as soon as I quit my job,

455
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: I got evicted. I had to sleep on my brother's

456
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: freaking couch. You know. It was one of those where

457
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: everybody kept saying, you got to go get your job back,

458
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: you had a really good job, and I'm like, I

459
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: can't because I was burning the candle at both ends.

460
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: For me, the hardest part was the beginning, and then

461
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: once the ball got rolling, I'm like, okay, here we go.

462
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: So when comics asked me for advice and they say

463
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 1: what should I do, it's really hard for me to

464
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: give advice because it's coming from somebody who's been around

465
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: for almost thirty years, and my advice is from nineteen

466
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: ninety seven, not from now. The game is so different now,

467
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: with all of social media media, with all the other

468
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: tools that you have at your disposal. It's so different.

469
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: So it's hard for me to give that advice. You know.

470
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: As far as what happens on stage, that's something else.

471
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: But now even comedies change where people use screens and

472
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: they use music, and they use all kinds of other tools,

473
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: and it's like, ah, I don't do that. So it's

474
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: hard for me to tell someone, you know. And I've

475
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: tried giving advice and unfortunately the advice I gave wasn't

476
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: good because it didn't fit that person. It was a

477
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: good advice for me, but it wasn't a good good

478
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: thing for them.

479
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 4: I think the thing is is that they see you now,

480
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 4: they see you doing Dodger Stadium. They've seen you doing

481
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 4: these big events, but they don't realize you didn't start

482
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 4: out doing Dodger Stadium. You didn't start out doing Madison

483
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: Square Guarden. You started out performing in front of twenty people,

484
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 4: in front of one hundred people, And so people all

485
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 4: they see is the success, and nobody wants to see

486
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 4: that period when you weren't as successful as you are now,

487
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: and so people just can't wrap their rap.

488
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 2: Man, Gabe, you.

489
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: Ain't never struggled to day in your life. That's what

490
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 4: you hear people.

491
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 1: I hear it a lot. Why you. I hear why you,

492
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, damn, really, you know you just

493
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: read off everything was like, well, I might have done

494
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: a couple of things to lead up to that, and

495
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: whether you're a fan of the comedy or not, you

496
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: got to understand that there's a lot of hard work

497
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: that went into what I do. So, you know, comedy

498
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: isn't like like football, you can't rely on statistics. Yes,

499
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: there's non numbers, because if you went off of numbers,

500
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: the greatest comic of all time would be Kevin Hart.

501
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart would be hands down the greatest comic ever

502
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: based on the amount of films, the amount of comedy specials,

503
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: the amount of money grossed, everything is. He would be

504
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: the guy. You know what I'm saying. So with me,

505
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where it's like, all right

506
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: when people ask the question, all right, well, how is

507
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: it that you're doing it, Well, I'm like, first of all,

508
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm willing to, you know, take time to relate to people.

509
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: You know, something as simple as as hey, thanks for

510
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: coming to my show. I really appreciate the fact that

511
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: you guys came to my show. You could have been

512
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: anywhere tonight, you could have gone to the movies, you

513
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: could have done this or that. Thank you for coming

514
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: to see me. I really appreciate something as simple as thanking.

515
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: The audience goes so far, and a lot of artists

516
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: forget to do that. And then when you're sharing these stories,

517
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't come from a place of like, look what

518
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm doing. It's like, hey man, look what we're doing,

519
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: because you guys are part of this ride. Without you,

520
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm just talking in front of a mirror, doing voices.

521
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: And then you know that usually requires medication.

522
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 4: But were you always funny? Did you know you always

523
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 4: wanted to do comedy? Were you a class clown? Did

524
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 4: your mom like Gabe Gabriel? Will you please stop? That's enough.

525
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: For me? No, I'm actually really when I'm not on stage,

526
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm more analytical. I'm not trying to be entertaining off stage.

527
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: I'm not the funniest person in my group of friends.

528
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: My friends are way funnier off stage than I am.

529
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be funny. And I find those

530
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: comics annoying by the way, those comics that don't and

531
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: that shit off.

532
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're trying to be all the way time.

533
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: Wait connect, okay, sorry, I'm like, oh yeah, I'm just

534
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm just very I'm paying attention. I'm listening to what's

535
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: going on in the room, and that's That's basically what

536
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: I do. I I hear what's going on. I'm sharing

537
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: these stories of these moments. That's what I do. I

538
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: take what's happening around me and then i'd take it

539
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: to the stage, right, And that's when it when it counts. Now.

540
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I was ten years old

541
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: and I was I was home watching Eddie Murphy Rock,

542
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: which is not what you should be watching when you're

543
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: ten years old, absolutely not. But my mom wanted to

544
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: go play bingo and I wanted to just you know,

545
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: I was just home alone, right. I was a latch

546
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: key kid. A lot of people don't know what that is.

547
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: Basically you're just left home alone. That's probably considered illegal now,

548
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: but whatever, I'm gonna be that guy in my day.

549
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: Back in my day, yeah, I'd stay home. I'd go

550
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: to the video store with my mom. I'd rent a

551
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: couple of videotapes, and you know, I'd stay home and

552
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: watch comedy. My favorite thing to watch was Eddie Murphy

553
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: and Robin Williams, okay, and so I watch them and

554
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: that's what inspired it. And then I did a school

555
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: talent show and I basically did impressions of Eddie Murphy

556
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: doing impressions of other people. Right, So that's how that

557
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: whole thing got started at ten years old in elementary school.

558
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: Do when people meet you, they expect you to be funny.

559
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: I do get a little bit of that. Sometimes I

560
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: get it more so from strangers. Yes, strangers, go tell

561
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: me a joke, and I'm like, I don't really tell jokes.

562
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: I share stories, like, well, tell me a story. I'm like,

563
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, because anybody who's been to my show knows

564
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: like my stories are fifteen twenty minutes longe. So it's like,

565
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going to spend that time to

566
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: kind of like, if you get it, you get it.

567
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: If you don't get it, a man, just you know,

568
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: maybe I'm not for you.

569
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 4: At the start of every new year, I set my goals.

570
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 4: I tell myself this year, I'm eating right, I'm working out,

571
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 4: I'm working hard, staying on track. Then reality hits, work, travel,

609
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: My first car was a nineteen sixty eight Volkswagen Bus

610
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: and it was h shades of primer and that car

611
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: ran on gas and prayer because it was one of

612
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: those sometimes it got me to work, sometimes it didn't.

613
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,440

614
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: paid maybe five hundred dollars for the car and we

615
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: put that thing together. It was like a Frankenstein car

616
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: because I had pieces from all these different buses to

617
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: put it together. And that, you know, it was my

618
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: first car, and there's a certain level of attachment to

619
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: that first car. And so many many years later I

620
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: got my girlfriend her at the time, her first car back,

621
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: not the actual car, but the car that she had, right,

622
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: And the guys that I got the car from, they're like, hey, man,

623
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, if you want anything else, let us know.

624
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, what about a Volkswagon. And I

625
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: mentioned the car that I wanted and they got it

626
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: from me like in two days. And they said, if

627
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: you want anything else, let us know. And I said, well,

628
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: if you have anything else, let me know. And we

629
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: played that game for about two years and next thing

630
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, I got a building full of Volkswagens.

631
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: So it's just both ways. You're not a Lambeau Farah rolls,

632
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 4: you know, you just want both.

633
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: I have other cars, nothing that's so over the top

634
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: where you're like, you know, Leno has everything, Tim Allen

635
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: has everything, Sein fills the Porsche guy. And so I

636
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: thought that with Volkswagens, I love car.

637
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: Got a collection too.

638
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: Kevin does have a sick, great collection. But with Volkswagons,

639
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: nobody judges you. And that's what I really appreciated is

640
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: that it's a fun car. It's the people's car. A

641
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: lot of people have stories, Oh man, we used to

642
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: take trips up the coast and that car. Whenever I

643
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: drive one of those, no one gives you that weird vibe.

644
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: It's more like, oh that's a cool car.

645
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: So you got like a twenty one twenty one window.

646
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all twenty one twenty three. Yeah, they're nice.

647
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: They're nice.

648
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: They're nice, but no one judges you. But I do

649
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: have some a couple of muscle cars, but nothing that's crazy.

650
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 4: What do you have muscle cars, arrows, cascats, I got,

651
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 4: I got old school of new new ones.

652
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: Okay, new ones. I like them to work. You know

653
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Because anytime you have a classic car,

654
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: it's one of those you gotta you gotta own a charger.

655
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: You have to own a charger, you have to own

656
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: a gas thing because they're at one point they're gonna

657
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: wind up leaving you stranded.

658
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

659
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a car that you only drive periodically, normally

660
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 4: on the weekend where there's not a whole lot of traffic.

661
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 4: Because you got to realize these cars are fifty sixty

662
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 4: years of age and they're not built with modern technology.

663
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: Because you've I've been stranded by every single one of

664
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: my cars. Every single one of my cars has left

665
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: me on the side of the road, and it's you know,

666
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: it's embarrassing. You're standing in the car, looks cool. They're

667
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: just like hi.

668
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: People are like they recognized you.

669
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: They're like, what's going on? What are you doing? It

670
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: broke down? You need a ride. I can't leave this

671
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: car on the side of the road because.

672
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 4: No, there's a little bit too valuable leaves side the road.

673
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: I'm just go wait, I call Triple A. They'll be

674
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: here shortly.

675
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

676
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: But you know what, the craziest thing is, out of

677
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: all the cars that I have, you know, my favorite

678
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: car is it blows people's mind. Toyota Siena, a mini

679
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: van is my favorite car to drive. It's my I

680
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: drove it here today.

681
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 4: You hold on, I'm assuming with a minivan you got

682
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 4: to have kids that you take in the school or a.

683
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: Soccer just I don't got kids. I got a four

684
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: pounchiuaha and a white girl at home. And yeah, that's

685
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: all a mini van.

686
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 4: You know, you can find something with more space that's

687
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 4: a little bit more.

688
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: You know what. You know what I love about that car,

689
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: it's so it's such a low pro vehicle where it's

690
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: like I pulled up right in front of the building.

691
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: None of the guys knew it was me in there.

692
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: First of all, they said, you can't park that here

693
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: right away right away because it was an out in

694
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: front of me. There was another nice car. They're like,

695
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: you can't park that in front of me. And then

696
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: the guys saw me and they're like, I beat you, fluffy,

697
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: and then they start speaking Spanish, and then I spoke

698
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: mean away and then I give them some money and

699
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: they're like, no, I promise you that van is parked

700
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: in front of your building right now. That car has

701
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: eighteen cup holders. It gets like five hundred miles every

702
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: time you fill it up. It's high bred. It has

703
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: never failed me. It never breaks down. The maintenance on

704
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: it is minimal. I love practicality because of the amount

705
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: of times I've been left on the side of the road.

706
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: That freaking Sienna is clutch.

707
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 4: So you just drive it. I'm not It's not like

708
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 4: so you just drive it around. If I get you

709
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 4: got to go to Target, you got to go to

710
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 4: the grocery store. You're not afraid to park it, okay,

711
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: And you.

712
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 2: Know it's gonna be there when you get back.

713
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be there. But if I take

714
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: the escalator coming to the windows.

715
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 4: You were in a haunted house too, with Marlon and Wayans,

716
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 4: my wife and kids with Damon Wayans.

717
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: How is it working with them because they do it.

718
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 4: Look, Keenan started it by putting everybody on their Living Color.

719
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 4: And you see that the Wayans, Shart and Marlin when

720

Speaker 4: they had this show, they put people on, Damon, they

721
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: put people on What is it about that family?

722
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: The Wayns family is one of the most talented families

723
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: of just comedy and just everything. I mean, God, I

724
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: remember growing up watching and Living Color. I think Marlon

725
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: and I are really close in age, so we were

726
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: both kind of kids at the time, you know. And

727
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: then Sean was s W one. He was the DJ.

728
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: They wouldn't even let him on the show yet, you know,

729
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: Keenan hadn't approved him yet. Once I had an opportunity

730
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: to work with Marlon. By the way, Marlon is an

731
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: incredible human being. I know you've had him on the show,

732
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: but man, let me tell you, Marlon has, on top

733
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: of being funny, he has so much hearty. At least

00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: text message to just check on me, not how the

736
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: career is going, but asking me how am I doing

737
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: with life, how's my health, what's going on? I mean,

00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: you know, I did one movie with him and Since then,

739
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: we've been friends, and even though I don't see him

740
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: all the time, he always takes time to hey, man,

Speaker 2: open I'd get a role like this.

784
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: I didn't get that much information on the film. I

785
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: was contacted by Channing Tatum. Really, this was like my

786
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: first real legit film. It's like, are you kidding me?

787
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, he was a fan and I

788
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: thought that was the best part. He's like, man, I

789
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: got this part for you, and I think you'd be great.

790
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, yeah, cool. So now I'm working

791
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: with you know, Steven Soderberg, Channing Tatum, freaking Matthew mcconnaday. Yeah,

792
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: everybody in the film was already a successful star. Plus

793
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm a huge wrestling fan, so I'm working with Kevin Nash.

794
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Nash is in the movie. So the day I

795
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: get there, I'm just geeking out. And so for me,

796
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: it was so much fun. I can tell you that

797
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey is more than an incredible actor. He's so

798
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: he's very method by the way, he's scary. He's scary

799
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: because the first time I'm doing a scene with him,

800
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, we do the scene and cut and I'm like, okay, cool,

801
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: good scene, right, and right away he's like, so Tobias.

802
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: He called me Tobias because that's the name of the

803
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: character of the movie. And I'm thinking, maybe he just

804
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: doesn't know my name is Gabriel. He's just gonna call

805
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: me Tobias. So, Tobias, how are we looking tonight on

806
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: the numbers? I don't know. Well, when you find out,

807
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: you let me know. And I'm like, okay, does he

808
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: know what he just said?

809
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 2: Cut?

810
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: And he kept he kept going. So then we're over

811
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: the We went to lunch and we're you know, catering

812
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and he comes up. He's got

813
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: the tray and he's like, what kind of sound system

814
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: you're working with tonight. I'm like, well, I don't know.

815
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's not really my system. I'm just

816
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: I'm messing with a little keyboard. It's not mine. But

817
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'll let you know. So how long you

818
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: been DJ No, I'm not. And at one point I

819
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: just it clicked this He's still a character. He would

820
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: not break character. He would not break character. And it

821
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: scared the shit out of me. It scared the shit

822
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: out of me because every time he look at me,

823
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: he's like, Tobias. I'm like, I got I got a pee,

824
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: and I just I'd walk away. And finally, on the

825
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: last day of the shoot when they yelled it's a rap,

826
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: you know. He because everybody was on such a strict

827
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: diet for the film to stay shredded. On the last day,

828
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: he winds up ordering rallies, which is basically like Checkers

829
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: on the West Coast ordered a bunch of burgers and

830
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: stuff for the guys, And you know, We're hanging out

831
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: at the bar and I'm way at the end, right,

832
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: and he goes Gabor and he called me by my name,

833
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what, I go, don't you mean to bias.

834
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: He goes, oh, come on, baby, and then he starts

835
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: telling me. He goes, I just when I when I

836
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: get in character, I commit to that character. And I'm like, bro,

837
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: I thought you were crazy and we were cool. And

838
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: then I ran into him recently at a wrestling event

839
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: and he was so sweet.

840
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 2: That awesome.

841
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: But he is an amazing actor and very committed and

842
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: he deserves all the accolades.

843
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 4: So I'm assuming that's your favorite part of the set

844
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 4: because you're talking to Matthew McConaughey, one of the stars.

845
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 4: He never breaks character, so every time he sees you,

846
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 4: he's asking you questions that a DJ should know he's

847
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 4: because you're the DJ.

848
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've never touched the record, so so yeah,

849
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: it freaked me out, you know, but I had so

850
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 1: much fun doing that movie. Channing was incredibly nice and

851
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: patient with me because it was my first movie. So

852
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: the first scenes were with him and I was messing up.

853
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: I was messing up lines. I was just like, Oh,

854
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna I'm gonna get fired. But he was super

855
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: patient with me, and I really appreciated that. And then

856
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: again being able to work with Steven Soderberg. Yeah, and

857
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: then you know one of my favorite wrestlers, Kevin Nash.

858
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: That was really really cool for me.

859
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 4: Did I don't know if this is because but you've

860
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 4: seen this, You see Dream Wilder, do it Comedia, you

861
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 4: see Richard pryor comedian that television. You see Kevin Hart,

862
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 4: and you've seen Katwaying, and you've seen Bernie Mack, and

863
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 4: you've seen so many guys that start out on the

864
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 4: tour and then all of a sudden they get is

865
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 4: that what you if? Was that something that you you

866
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 4: sought out? Is that what you wanted to do? Did

867
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 4: you ever think that being a comedian would lead you

868
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 4: lead you to TV?

869
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: I think early on, as a comic, your conditioned to

870
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: think that there's certain things you're supposed to strive for. Okay, okay,

871
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Where it's like, I love

872
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 1: being a comic, that's my favorite thing. I'm not using

873
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: comedy to become an actor, to become a movie star,

874
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: to become this, or become that. Whereas I feel like

875
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: a lot of comics get into that as a stepping stone.

876
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't see comedy as a stepping stone. I see

877
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: comedy as as the destination. That's what I wanted to beat.

878
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: But early on, everybody's telling you you got to have

879
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: a Tonight show, you got to have an HBO special.

880
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: Back then, it was only an HBO special. Right, You

881
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: need a sitcom, and then you need a development deal

882
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: and you need movies, and your conditioned to think that's

883
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. And it took a while

884
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: for me to just break that and go, you know what,

885
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: I've done TV shows. It's cool to say you're on

886
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: a show when you're doing a movie. It's great to say,

887
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: look I'm on the poster, but people don't realize the

888
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: amount of work that goes into it. It's a lot

889
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: of work.

890
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: It's a lot of sitting around, Gabe, to be honest

891
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 2: with you.

892
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of waiting, hurry up and wait when

893
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: you you on the set at six am and then

894
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: you're on the set at ten and you're like, I

895
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: could have been sleeping this hole.

896
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I mean I can just imagine a movie

897
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 4: that's ninety minutes or one hundred and twenty minutes because

898
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 4: of commercial that's only thirty seconds might take you two days.

899
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 4: So I can imagine a movie that's going ninety minutes

900
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: to one hundred and twenty minutes, how much actual downtime

901
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 4: sitting around. You're like, we really could have shot this

902
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 4: movie in like a month if y'all wouldn't, if y'all were,

903
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 4: we really could have shot this movie. But it takes

904
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 4: six months to do this movie.

905
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of that, So I I I

906
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: applaud people like Kevin who has that work ethic, who

907
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: actually wants to do those roles and and and you

908
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,560

921
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: because my manager said that's what I needed to do, right,

922
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, so I was always on that freeway. So

923
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: when I said earlier, man, I took on that four

924
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: five you yeah, it was traffic, and I'm just like,

925
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: m only cause of Sha shap.

926
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I appreciate that.

927
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, after a while, I says, you know what,

928
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm tired. This is depressing. You go on these auditions,

929
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: they tell you you're doing great, Oh my god, that's

930
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: so good, and then they call you know, you get

931
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: the follow up ones. Now you got to do the

932
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: second round or the third round, and then they start

933
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: whittling down all the people until they get the one

934
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: right and you think you're doing good, and then it's like,

935
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: all right, you don't hear nothing, and it's just like

936
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: I wasted all that time. So eventually I got tired

937
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: of going on all these auditions and I said, you

938
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: know what, I'm just going to focus on what I love.

939
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: I love comedy. I'm going to focus on that. I'm

940
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: going to make that priority, give one and ten percent

941
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: of my energy and if something comes from that, in

942
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: which case, That's how I got the part in Magic Mike.

943
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: I did an audition for it. Someone saw me channing

944
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: and said, dude, this guy's funny. We need him in

945
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: the movie. And that's that's how I got that, And

946
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: that's how I get these voiceover rolls. No one says, hey,

947
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: can you come in and read for this? And that.

948
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: Now everybody's like, no, the very funny Gabory l Iglesias,

952
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,640

00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: myself really good at that one thing. And because of that,

Speaker 2: And I would thank you, and we appreciate you being here.

957
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 4: Do they ever tell your own set don't talk to

958
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 4: a certain act because you hear certain things like you

959
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 4: don't talk to this guy, you don't talk to that person.

960
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,919

00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 4: spoken to.

963
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I've been on a set where I

964
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: had to be that way, but I've heard many stories

965
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: where you have to act a certain way. Look at

966
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: the ground, don't look at that person, don't ask questions,

967
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: don't engage.

968
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 2: You really can't look at the part. You can't look

969
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 2: at it.

970
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: I've heard many stories like that where you're not supposed

971
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: to look at certain talent. I've not been told don't

972
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: do that, but I've heard a lot of stories where

973
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: this you know, yeah, I've heard it kind of like

974
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 1: don't do it. You're going to disappoint yourself. And I'm like, okay, okay.

00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how did you get that opportunity?

977
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 4: Because you've had a lot of you had it, You've

978
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 4: been in some great situations.

979
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: Gay So in two thousand, I want to say it

980
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: was nineteen nine and niney two thousand. I was on

981
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: a show basically the Saturday Night Live version for kids

982
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: on Nickelodeon called All That.

983
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 2: Yes.

984
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: This show featured Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon, Keenan Thompson, who's

985
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: I think holds the record for most sketches now on SNL.

986
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, it was I want to say season was it?

987
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: Season six? Basically Keenan and kel they had they spun

988
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: off and did their own show called Keenan and Caroen

989
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 1: on Nickelodeon.

990
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: Ye.

991
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: So they left all that and they needed somebody to

992
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: come in and fill in. And someone had seen me

993
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: at the Laugh Factory doing stand up and they recommended

994
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: me to Tolan Robbins, who was the producers of the show.

995
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: And so next thing, you know, i'mt Nickelodeon and I'm

996
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: in an office and it's me and my manager and

997
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and they're like, Okay, so you're Gabriel,

998
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: You're funny. Someone saw you blah blah blah blah blah,

999
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: and they're like, they said, you're good to characters, and

1000
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: they said, can you do some characters for us? And

1001
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: then I just started rattling off, freaking basically my set.

1002
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: I was doing, you know, the girl voice, like oh

1003
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: my god, like seriously, like wow. And as soon as

1004
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: I did the girl voice, so like you know, and

1005
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: then I just started doing other voices. I was doing,

1006
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: I think the President, like let me tell you Someth'm

1007
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: right now, you know, just hey, all those little things

1008
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: I was doing, they just I remember they all looked

1009
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 1: at each other. And next thing you know is I

1010
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: was on the set and I was the oldest cast

1011
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: member because you got to figure I was about twenty

1012
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: one already, No two thousand, shoot, I was twenty four

1013
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: to twenty five, yeah, and everyone on the show was like,

1014
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, twelve to seventeen. But at the time, I had,

1015
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, it was clean cut, full head of hair.

1016
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: I had braces, so that really fed into the whole

1017
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: looking youthful. And so next thing you know, I'm on

1018
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: the show. And I went from being a comic on

1019
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: the weekends making I don't know, maybe three four hundred

1020
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: dollars on the weekends if I hit a bunch of

1021
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: clubs and stuff. So all of a sudden, I'm a

1022
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: cast member on all that. And I was making about

1023
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred a weekend, and so my life dramatically

1024
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: changed and it was just like, wow, you know I

1025
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: had a TV the next weekend. It was really cool.

1026
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: I didn't have a TV yet.

1027
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 4: When you see you work close, like I said, you

1028
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 4: worked with Nick and Nick. You see what Nick with

1029
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 4: wild'n Out and he has other projects. But Amanda Bynd

1030
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 4: is kind of felling on some hard times. She's kind

1031
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 4: of going through some tough from that point on, did

1032
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 4: you ever reach out to it? Have you ever been

1033
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 4: in communication with Amanda?

1034
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,240
Speaker 1: So early on with Amanda, she was the golden goose

1035
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: on the show. She was incredibly talented. I remember attending

1036
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: a live Kelodian event and she was hosting it, and

1037
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: I felt like she must have been maybe eleven or

1038
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: twelve years old, and the amount of poise and confidence

1039
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: that she had hosting with a microphone, the way that

1040
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: she worked a microphone, the way that she worked the audience,

1041
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: and she was able to read a teleprompter like with ease,

1042
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 1: like she's she's such a pro. So when I actually

1043
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: got to meet her, even though I was older, I

1044
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: was very intimidated by her. I was just like, oh,

1045
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: that's her. I remember seeing her in makeup and I

1046
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: was just kind of like real small talk. So unfortunately

1047
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: I never became really good friends with her that we

1048
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: couldn't be friends. I just always felt like, man, she's

1049
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: right here, and I'm right here. I just got this job,

1050
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, I try to mess that up. I clicked

1051
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: more with Nick. Nick was super cool. Nick was always

1052
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: invited me out to eat. We were on sunset on

1053
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: Nickelodeon at the studio and he'd always take me in

1054
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: Danny TAMBRELLI to go eat at Carl Junior, which was

1055
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: on the corner, and he's like, got it, guys, And

1056
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, you got it. I was so excited.

1057
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, yay, free food.

1058
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 4: When when Kennan and Cam left, did that add pressure

1059
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 4: to you? Because you know you were coming in to

1060
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 4: replace those guys who had been hugely successful on the show,

1061
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 4: So did that add pressure to you.

1062
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: Like to have Yeah, that was a lot of pressure

1063
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: because they they had one person replaced too, you know,

1064
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: so it's like, and I kept hearing it, You're like, oh,

1065
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: this is the guy that they brought in to replace

1066
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: the two Yes, And then part of me was like,

1067
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: all right, why isn't there another guy here?

1068
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 3: Ye?

1069
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 2: Or why did I get okay, two guys?

1070
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 4: Why did I get double salary?

1071
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 5: You know?

1072
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: But they were incredibly talented. I enjoyed watching Keenan ankelp both.

1073
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: The chemistry was amazing and that's why they got their show.

1074
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: So I was, I was, you know, I was just

00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I appreciate you.

1083
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,200

Speaker 4: So I could I could, I could see you Raiders fan? Yeah, yeah,

1086
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 4: you probably would its.

00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: Coming out now, I was gonna I wasn't gonna say earlier,

1088
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: but I'm.

1089
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 2: Like, you would use that the cold.

1090
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: Yeah in the Oakland.

1091
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah you would used to go up to Oakland.

1092
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: I would go to Oakland and then you know.

1093
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, good job, good job, so you got fired.

1094
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 1: So one on Nickelodeon, on on, on all that. Because

1095
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: of the fact that I could do the girl voice,

1096
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: they loved dressing me up, putting wigs and skirts and stuff.

1097
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: I could hear catt already and then not the one boobo,

1098
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: and then on the one yeah yeah, they got me

1099
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: in a dress cat sorry. So they would always dress

1100
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: me up with the wig and the skirt and stuff,

1101
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: and so on one episode they had me dressed up

1102
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: as a cheerleader, and so I had like the pigtails

1103
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: and then the bangs and stuff like that, pom poms,

1104
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: the socks with the little ball in the back. So

1105
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: they had me dressed up like that. I'd done a sketch.

1106
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 1: And then at the end, at the end of the

1107
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: show they have the musical guests. The musical guest goes

1108
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: out there, and then after they're done singing, the whole

1109
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: cast runs out on the set. Hey, that's our show,

1110
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: have a good night, we'll see you next week. More

1111
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: all that. So there was an order in which everybody

1112
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: runs out on the set. It's always the shortest all

1113
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: the way to the tallest. So I was always second

1114
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: to last because Nick was the tallest, and so the

1115
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: band finishes and then we all start running out onto

1116
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: the set. Well, I'm running out right, and because of

1117
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: the fact that I have bangs, I can't see that

1118
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: they're a beam going across the stage. There was these beams,

1119
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: and I ran right into the beam and knocked myself

1120
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 1: unconscious on the set of all that, and so boom

1121
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: hit the floor. I wake up and there's a fireman

1122
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: standing over me and he's looking at me and he's like,

1123
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: how many fingers am I holding up? I'm like, I'm

1124
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: like four. He's like, do you know where you're at?

1125
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like Nickelodeon. He's like, do you know why

1126
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: you're wearing a skirt? I'm like paycheck. And so I'm

1127
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: trying to stand up, but they won't let me stand up. Right,

1128
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: I just knocked myself unconscious, and then I'm trying to

1129
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: take off my wig and they won't let me take

1130
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: off the wig because they think maybe the wig might

1131
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: be holding something in place. So what happens is they

1132
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: got the whole freaking ambulance and everything. They put me

1133
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: on a gurney and they take me to the hospital.

1134
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 4: And you still got costume. You still got the wig.

1135
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 4: You still got the cheerleading out there the peak.

1136
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: So all my family and friends that are because they

1137
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: had a live studio audience, they all just saw me

1138
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: gett knocked unconscious. And now basically it's an ambulance and

1139
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: I can see out the back of the ambulance because

1140
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm laying there, and I see all the cars and

1141
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: my family and friends following following the ambulance to get

1142
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: to the hospital. And of course, you know, they put

1143
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: me in the donut. They start doing a you know,

1144
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: scan to make sure I'm okay, and then eventually they're like, okay,

1145
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: he's got a concussion. I had a concussion. They took

1146
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: off the thing, and word gets out that there's an

1147
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 1: entertainer who suffered a head injury at the Nickelodeon lot

1148
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: with the last name Iglesias. So people think that Enrique

1149
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: Iglesias was heard, and now there's all these news stations

1150
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: showing up to the hospital to see if Endrique is okay,

1151
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 1: not realizing that it is a fat dude in a skirt.

1152
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: So unfortunately, which really left a bad taste in my mouth,

1153
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 1: which is why I never did any of the reunion shows,

1154
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: is that they sent someone there to uh with a

1155
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 1: clipboard to get me to sign a waiver saying that

1156
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: that Nickelodeon's not responsible for the fact that I got

1157
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: injured on the set, and I'm like, you know, so

1158
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: the guy's just there, he's like, you gotta sign this,

1159
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, well, what if I don't, And

1160
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: they're like, well, you're probably gonna get fired, and so

1161
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, they threaten me with that, and then I

1162
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: sign it and then they me anyway, So yeah, dirty, dirty,

1163
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: that's dirty. When they say how come we never did

1164
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: none of the reunions because that's what happened. But it's

1165
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: okay because you know, things turned out all right.

1166
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 2: How'd you get a nickname? Bluffy?

1167
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: Wo? I called myself fat around my mom and she

1168
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: didn't like that. Not fat, you're fluffy like a gut

1169
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: come on now, And I'm like, oh my god. So

1170
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: I said that on stage one night, got a huge laugh,

1171
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: and then at the end of the night, no one

1172
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: remembered Gaby Laglessia as they call me fluffy.

1173
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 2: So they still.

1174
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 4: So people still when they see you out in the street,

1175
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 4: they see you out the bout, they don't call you

1176
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 4: your name.

1177
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: They call you fluff.

1178
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 1: No one calls me Gabriel. They call me fluffy. It's easier,

1179
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with it. Really make me a long time, Yeah,

1180
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: it took me a long time to accept it. But

1181
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 1: then I got to a point where I stopped fighting it,

1182
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: and then I flipped the switch. And then I just

1183
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: stepped on the gas and so I started branding it right.

1184
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: And once I branded it, forget it. I mean I

1185
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: did that early on. I branded it so well that

1186
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: if you were to go online right now and you

1187
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 1: google fluffy, I come up before cats quilts comforters caught

1188
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 1: me candy. I am the number one fluffy thing on

1189
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: the internet. And I challenge you to try it right now.

1190
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: Just type in the word fluffy and watch what comes

1191
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: up first.

1192
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 2: Did you hate? You know, because people started calling you that,

1193
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 2: did you hate? Like?

1194
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 4: I hate that I told this story, damn it. I

1195
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 4: should have just kept this a secret for all these years.

1196
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: Early on, yes, but then when you realize the magic

1197
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: of having an uh you know, share doesn't need a

1198
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 1: last name, right, you know what I mean, there's a

1199
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: lot of people that have pit Bowl doesn't need a

1200
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: last name. There's people that have that one name and

1201
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: it sticks. Now, if you're lucky enough for them to

1202
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: actually know what your full name is, cool, right, But

1203
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: the fact that people know Fluffy, I'm good with that.

1204
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: They know they know my name, so I'm not worried

1205
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: about it. So I'm I'm okay with them calling me that.

1206
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you said there's six level of fatness. You said

1224
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: but personally, in my regular personal life, there's so many

1225
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: things that I've not accomplished that I would like to

1226
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: and one of them is in fact, getting you know,

1227
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: to a healthier way.

1228
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 2: Right.

1229
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: And so yeah, were you always were? You always a

1230
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: big kid with always a big kid, always a big kid,

1231
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: and then once comedy started taking off, you got a figure.

1232
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: It's like, man, I always wanted to go out and eat.

1233
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: I always like, oh, I'd be cool to go out

1234
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: and eat, and then I got myself in no position

1235
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: where I'm like, now I can afford to do it.

1236
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: I didn't cook at all for like three years. It's

1237
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: just like, let's go, and unfortunately it caught up to me.

1238
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,959
Speaker 4: And then because you got to realize you probably start

1239
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 4: your day at nine till o'clock at night, you get

1240
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 4: done at midnight one o'clock in the morning, and then

1241
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 4: you go to eat, and then you go sleep till

1242
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:02,959
Speaker 4: nine tien o'clock the next morning.

1243
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm very much still a night person. So for example,

1244
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: I went to bed today at maybe what eight am?

1245
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 2: Eight?

1246
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went to bed at eight, I had breakfast

1247
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: at six, and then I went to bed at eight,

1248
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: so what And then I slept maybe three hours, and

1249
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: then I got in the car and came over here.

1250
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 4: So what were you doing from say, from the hours

1251
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 4: eleven pm to say six am.

1252
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm just up. I'm up, I'm watching TV, I'm on

1253
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: my phone. I just I'm a night person.

1254
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 2: So your roles are reversed.

1255
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 4: So you sleep what a normal person is out and

1256
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 4: about doing what they do. And when a person is

1257
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 4: normally sleep, that's when you getting your stuff done.

1258
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 2: Yes.

1259
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: And also at night is my favorite time to drive

1260
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: because there's no traffic, right, you know, so I can

1261
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: jump in one of the cars and just you know,

1262
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: take a nice will, take a lap or go to Pasadena,

1263
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: or go to Ontario, come up here to La and

1264
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: it's there's no traffic.

1265
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 2: So it just you know, you just get in the

1266
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 2: car and just drive.

1267
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the best. I'll set a playlist. You gotta

1268
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: remember h during the day or just when I'm out

1269
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: on the weekends. I have so many people around me, yes,

1270
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: and the idea of me going anywhere alone freaks everybody out.

1271
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: It's like, what is something happens? I'm like, I'm an adult.

1272
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: Can I just go? You know what I'm saying, Like

1273
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: I go to Costco by myself and be like, what

1274
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: are you doing? I'm grown? Can I can I go

1275
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: buy a dollar fifty hot dog and enjoy that and

1276
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: go get some sheets or something, you know what I mean.

1277
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: It's like it is it cool?

1278
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 2: Right?

1279
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: It is weird because it's like, you know, people always

1280
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: remind you or they're trying to tell you, hey, don't

1281
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: start getting big headed, don't start acting all this and that,

1282
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: don't start thinking. But then I do normal things and

1283
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:46,959
Speaker 1: it freaks people out even more.

1284
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 2: I just want to go to cost.

1285
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So if I walk into

1286
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: on McDonald's and I order some food at the counter,

1287
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,640

Speaker 4: ordered something a quarterbaut of big mac nuggets or something.

1292
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 2: That's why I'm here.

1293
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: But I am a night person. I function better than

01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: have my preferred car that's more practical that I'm not

1323
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,640

1337
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 2: You know are you?

1338
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 4: So when you get in there and you take these trips,

1339
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 4: what are you thinking about? Because John Cena says he

1340
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 4: does the same thing. John Cena, He's in Florida and

1341
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 4: he says, you know what he says, Shannon. Sometimes I

1342
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 4: get in my car and I take a trip. I

1343
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 4: go nine ten eleven hours and I'll just drive. I'll

1344
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 4: just drive a big circle around Florida and come back home.

1345
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 4: It's just me and my thoughts. When you're in that situation,

1346
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 4: what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about? Are

1347
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 4: you thinking about another set that I got, or you're

1348
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 4: trying to come up with jokes. Are you just clearing

1349
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 4: your mind? Are you saying, thank you God, I'm so

1350
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 4: you bless me? Beyond bass being blessed, what.

1351
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 2: Do you ask? What is Gabriel is and Glacy's thinking about?

1352
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: When I'm alone in the car, First of all, it's

1353
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: very peaceful because I don't have to worry about entertaining

1354
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: or having a conversation with someone. When you're talking to someone,

1355
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: a lot of times, I feel like you're trying to

1356
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: appease them, You're trying to entertain them or keep them busy,

1357
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: and you're not focusing on yourself. So when I'm alone

1358
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: in the car, it could just be me. It's just me.

1359
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: I'll set a playlist, I'll set a play this, and

1360
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,959
Speaker 1: I'll just I'll listen to the music and I'll drive

1361
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and I'll go for all the things that i'm you

1362
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: know that I'm that I'm working on, because you know,

1363
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: there's either there's press going on, there's a show going on,

1364
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: there's there's different endeavors, if that's the right word for it.

1365
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: If things that are happening. So I'm like, Okay, what

1366
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 1: do I gotta do here? What do they expect? Here

1367
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: so and I'm always trying to come up with ideas

1368
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: and and just the creative. There's stuff that I want

1369
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: to do on social media, there's stuff that I want

1370
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: to do. Maybe there's there's an idea for a premise. Yes,

1371
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: So all of that is happening in the car, but

1372
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm so at peace and I'm just driving and I'm

1373
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,560
