43
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: been in my early twenties. Then, yeah, you must have

44
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: been like eighteen, I would have been twenty. The only

45
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: a couple of years separating us and uh and and

46
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: and he's a legendary cat from Canada. Um, Mr George

47
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: Strombolopolos a k A yorgo a k A Strombo. And

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: we're here hanging out in the backyard. So here helicopters

49
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: and planes. That's real. We keep that ship real because

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: we do this ship outside. When Bentley and I are

51
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: having cigars, George just having a vegan coffee, because that's

52
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: what fucking George is. Courtney, our producers here cording it up.

53
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: She's a vegan or a freaking as she calls herself. Yes,

54
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: sometimes I have milk. Yeah, and I'll listen. I think

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: I would do it if I could, if I could

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: still have butter and milk and cream and ice cream.

57
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's called a vegetarian. Oh, I guess yeah.

58
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: Or you could have old milk, and I had old

59
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: milk the other day. It's not bad. No, No, I

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: don't want not bad. I want my milk to just

61
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: taste like fucking water. It doesn't taste like that. Yeah,

62
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to after taste from my milk. That

63
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: makes sense. You know. I'll drink chocolate almond milk because

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: it's like it's like having chocolate covered almonds in a glass. Yeah. Yeah,

65
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: maybe I'll do that tonight. That's a good idea. Yeah. Also,

66
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Eddie's here in case we have any questions we need

67
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: Eddie to do research on and we have, um Eddie's

68
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: cousin or Nisto is sitting in today, do so? George

69
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: and Bentley were talking right before we got on the

70
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: and and say save that conversation. Let's get that Poppa again.

71
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Just saying that I think that Jamie Foxx is the

72
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: greatest living entertainer. And while I think there are a

73
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: lot of people who can do a lot of things

74
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: really well, I can't think of one person who can

75
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: kick at the level that Jamie Cannon every single category, um,

76
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: and also do it with this generosity of spirit. He's

77
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: a powerhouse. And then after I said all that, you

78
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: say and you could throw football, the length of a field.

79
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. So he can do everything. He

80
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: can do everything he can. I mean, listen to guy

81
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: can sing. He's classically trained on the piano. He can

82
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: sing opera. Uh, he can act his ass off. I

83
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: mean the Oscar says that, right. He can. Uh, he's

84
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, he can. Like I said, he can throw football,

85
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: he can play basketball pretty decent. Uh, he can do

86
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: it all. And so I was trying to think about

87
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: who that's the other person impersonation when he did that

88
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: fucking Lebron when I was dying, Yeah, that Lebron, because

89
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: I was like, that's one I didn't When he did it,

90
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: I was like, fuck, yeah. That's when they said he's

91
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: gonna play Mike Tyson. I go, I could totally see

92
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: him becoming Mike Tyson. Well, you know, my my thought

93
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: behind that was Jamie too old to play that. But

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: he still has he still looks youthful enough to pull him.

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Jamie's the same age as Mike Tyson

96
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: his name, Yeah, but he'd playing Mike Tyson younger. Yeah,

97
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: but Jamie don't look like I mean Jamie could. Mike

98
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: had a very mature look at twenty he did, you know,

99
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike didn't look like a twenty year old kid,

100
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: he'd like a grown pit bull. Yeah. You know, Jamie

101
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: also has this ability to um make people around him

102
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: better on camera. And a lot of times you see

103
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: a really great actor and they steal the scene. Jamie

104
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: doesn't steal scenes. Jamie creates a space where everybody wins

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: on camera. That's a really unique, really unique ability. Yeah.

106
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: You know. The crazy thing about Jamie is that you know,

107
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: he's he's a very generous guy when he likes you,

108
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: so he keeps the circle small. He uh, he's he's

109
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: very much a guy that's big, big, big out on

110
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: the open. But and you know, and he's at home,

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: he keeps the circle small. But the people that you

112
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: know that he messes with, those are the people that

113
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: he messes with. And I've been working with him now

114
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: for twenty about twenty six years, and our relationship, I

115
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: feel like Jamie's like a distant relative. He's like he's

116
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: like my seventh cousin. You know, I mean you've known

117
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: him a long time, him a long time. Yeah, at

118
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: least about thirty years. Is about how a house party though,

119
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: because I was an usheraddit movie theater on House Party

120
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: opened and where you were in the House Party, Bentley,

121
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: I was in House Party. I'm gonna show you. I

122
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: gotta show you this scene. It's it won't go away.

123
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: It's just still out there on the internet. I don't

124
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: remember you in it. Yeah, so I'll tell you and

125
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: then you'll go, oh, maybe you remember that that the

126
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: one little thing where in the bathroom the toilet got

127
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: clogged up. Yeah, And they're all blaming me on clogging

128
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: up the toilet and I'm like, what me, You know

Speaker 1: from the from the South Asian side called Bollywood Shuffle

154
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: or whatever we would call it. But I want it

155
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: to do it, like to show that the exact same

156
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: story exists with a different bunch of people. Right, how

157
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: did he How did he feel about that? He's he

158
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: he was like, you know, your story is way better.

159
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, I

160
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: want to tell your life story. I go, that's great,

161
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 1: that's a separate thing. But I really want to really

162
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: do your movie. But I don't want to press him

163
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: too much because you know, I get it. You know,

164
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't want somebody to He's been he was guarded

165
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: with it for so long. I mean, since I've never

166
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: done anything like that. I mean, I wouldn't trust me either.

167
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: For Fox Sex. You know, I think you should make

168
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: that film, the word version of that film. I definitely

169
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: would like to, but I would I wanted his blessing

170
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: to do it, you know what I mean, because I

171
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: didn't want to do it like I'm gonna do it anyway.

172
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that guy. And I respect

173
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: Robert too much to just be a punk about it.

174
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: Yeah you can. He's so nice. I mean, you know,

175
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, he's the nicest guy on the planet. Man. Like,

176
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna disrespectful of

177
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: the guy ever, you know. I mean, everybody was in

178
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,239
Speaker 1: that movie. Everybody's in Hollywood Shuffle, so Hollywood shouff, I think.

179
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: Don't quote me on this, but I believe it was

180
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: the movie that had the highest rate of taft Hartley's

181
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: and to get in the sag through that film. So

182
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: Robert goes on record for putting the most people in

183
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: the Screen Actors Guild at that time. I don't know

184
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: if it's been surpassed by now, but at that time

185
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: that was a fact amazing and I was one of

186
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: those folks man that slid in the door. I don't

187
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: even know what a taft Hartley was. It's just it's

188
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: it's almost like a waiver kind of thing. I guess

189
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: it's like an induction you get accepted in, you know, so, yeah,

190
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: because you needed a certain amount of movies before right

191
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: to do it. Well, but if you're in person of color,

192
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: you needed less because there was less available. Yeah. But

193
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: the way the way that it works is it's like

194
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: the Screen Actors Guild is it's tricky. It's that it's

195
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: that catch twenty two where you have to have a

196
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: speaking role to get in, but you have to have

197
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: you have to get in one to get a speaker.

198
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: So it's like, uh, when you make an independent film

199
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: and then that film becomes a union film, everybody in

200
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: the film has to become union. That's amazing. Yeah, oh nice,

201
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: It's like a big towns and shot this whole ship

202
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: on his on his credit card. He told me that, Yeah,

203
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: that's insane. You know what. Russell was so funny because

204
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: I remember like towns of would give us walkie talkies

205
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: and say go stand out on the corner of Pico

206
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: on lebre If you see the police coming is the

207
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: code word because we did. We had no permit none.

208
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: Isn't that where the Winky Dinky Dog was not a

209
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: winky dinky dog. It wasn't. As my helicopter was flying by.

210
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: Oh that's okay, hey, this Russell's friend dog. Because the

211
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: holes got to eat too. That movie was incredible. Wednesdays

212
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: Feeds the song and clothes, that's sad. Wherever the line was, no, Um,

213
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Winky Dinky Dog was on uh Slawson and Western. It

214
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: was this little small spot there and uh every time

215
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: I tell people that they're going it was, I'm like,

216
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: I was there. That's me. I know where it was

217
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: because there's a spot on Fairfax that looks like it

218
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: is it okay dog? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's

219
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,960

00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: little ship hole man, and it had this little area

221
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: with like it was fenced and it was really weird. Man. Uh,

00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: just some yeah smack dab in the middle of the hood. Yeah,

225
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: that's where you want to shoot in the mid eighties,

226
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: shoot and get shot. Yeah. Two shootings, one one bill. Yeah,

227
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: it was amazing. What was that like? Those shooting then

228
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: they're knowing that it was independent and knowing that no

229
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: one was making films like that. Well, you gotta understand

230
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: who knew what. I didn't even know what independent meant.

231
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: I don't know any of that stuff, man, I'm telling you.

232
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: I was at Santa Monica College sucking up man, you know, like,

233
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: what were you taking? I don't even remember. My mom said,

234
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: you know what I did. I used to go to

235
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: Santa Monica because they had great pancakes in the in

236
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: the you know, like in the little cafeteria. So I

237
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: used to go meet my friends and we would just

238
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: sit outside and just bag on everybody and walked by

239
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: just talking ship. So I was good at that. And uh,

240
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: my buddy met Robert Townsend and he said he wants

241
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: to volunteer on his film. He called me up the

242
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: same man, you want to be in Hollywood, And I

243
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,280

244
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,440

245
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: ever saw. So when I went over his house and

246
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: met him for the first time, I was like, oh, ship,

Speaker 1: for you or his towel? Yeah? You know that's crazy.

00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: was in the middle of a of a shootout. There

257
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,960

Speaker 1: and me and my buddy Tom, we're underneath a car

259
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: trying not to get hit. Right, this guy comes up

265
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: you know you aren't gonna come to my neighborhood and

266
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: do it. Man. I was like this, get under the car.

267
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: So after it was over, you know, we were just

268
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: talking about damn man, our life could be over just

00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: So we lived. You weren't even from the hood. That's

275
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: the best. Well, you know what, So the hood is

276
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: so funny in La because all the hood's got palm trees,

277
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: so you can't even really determine what dis Yeah, and

Speaker 1: there at five thirty and I was like, yeah, man,

304
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm down. So he taught me just by working on

305
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: that that movie All about show Business. You think, though,

306
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: how if he didn't. If he wasn't open to that,

307
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: how different your life might have been. Just the fact

308
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: that there's this guy with a bit of experience. He

309
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: wasn't super experienced either at the time. Right now. He

310
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: just wanted to make something. He's passionate, passionate, and he

311
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: looks at you and he's like, all right, you want

312
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: and you can get in. Just to act the kindness

313
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: from somebody, well, I mean, it wasn't that easy because

314
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: he wasn't He wasn't extremely friendly towards me at first.

315
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: He was always a nice guy, but it was like

316
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: I was apprehensive, Yeah, and I was like a pest,

317
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, I'm around hanging out right

318
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: yeah nineteen I'm like, Rob, can I come over tomorrow?

319
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: And he's like, nah, But look at what happened. Yeah,

320
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, after I worked on the film

321
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: for two years for free, and so we took two years. Yeah,

322
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, about two and a half years,

323
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: but came out in seven. So he must have shot

324
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: in eighty five. He started shooting in an eighty five.

325
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: He shot, you know, pieces when he could afford to

326
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: buy more film ins and and stuff. So it just

327
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: took that time. You know, it's like shoot three days now,

328
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: we'll get some money. We're shooting about a month and

329
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: it was very sporadic how it It wasn't like a

330
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: really full proper film. Shoot oh no, no, no, no, no, masterpiece.

331
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: It's still a masterpiece film. That was a great movie

332
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: because there's that you know, Eddie Murphy scene, and then

333
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: there's the audition scene number whereas give me your wallet,

334
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: give me your wallet, and then the School of Black Actors,

335
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: Black Acting School, Like that's the same ship the Indian

336
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: guys are going through. Like I mean, I honestly feel

337
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: like my agents get like a call and it'll be like, uh,

338
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: we're looking for like a Russell Peters type. My own

339
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: agents probably like we got disease. I'm like, you know

340
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, yeah, but we need a Russell

341
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: Peters type. We have Russell Peters. Got anything else. I'm like,

342
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: you just said fucking Russell Peters. I mean, you know whatever.

343
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: But that's the way the business goes. It's it's such

344
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: a shifty business. It's a business. Is I'm also really

345
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: interested to see what kind of independent movies that what

346
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: scene comes out of India at some point because there's

347
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: so many experienced crew there. They make films at an

348
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: unbelievable pace. Yeah, but I mean it depends on uh, now,

349
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing. And when you get to the cruise,

350
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: it's got to be like yeah, because like that, they

351
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: shoot very differently, so the way they light is different.

352
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: And so to get them to make that adjustment to

353
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: try and make cinematic movies as opposed to Bollywood films

354
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: is going to be the trick. And that's that's where

355
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: you get the new blood in, you know, that's the

356
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: new kids who come in with the different ideas. And

357
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: I remember interviewing American and he he created a big

358
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: stirt because he just wanted to shoot one movie a year,

359
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: because everybody expect they have to shoot so many films.

360
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: And he's like, no, I'm just gonna do one movie

361
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: a year. But I know actors in Hollywood, big stars

362
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: like him, they're not doing a movie a year. There's

363
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: no chance for a couple of years. Yeah, you know.

364
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: And but the pace there was just out of control.

365
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they shoot and then and there's no hours.

366
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: There's not like, oh we're gonna do a twelve hours

367
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: guys were done. Yeah, oh yeah, it doesn't matter. Is

368
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: it true that they can shoot a film from beginning

369
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: to actually having having it in the theater in a month.

370
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but I wouldn't doubt it. Yeah,

371
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, they're on that lap opera schedule. Maybe, right,

372
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of how soap proper's role. So maybe that's

373
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: what the actors get their fucking lines the day of. Yeah,

374
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: get one take to do it. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy,

375
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: and people make fun of them like you can make

376
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: fun of them that you're literally watching a cold read

377
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: and the beast at it too. Yeah, that's the the

378
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: hardest working people in Hollywood for sure, in terms of

379
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: being the film business. Yeah, actors, it's very difficult anyway.

380
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: That's why I knew the day I met Robert what

381
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. I knew that I don't want

382
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: to be an actor, let's just start there. I want

383
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: to be creative. I want to write, I want to

384
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: produce and direct. I knew that the very first time

385
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: I set foot on a set. The acting thing, you know,

386
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: I feel very lonely. You know. That's that's the thing

387
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: about what Russell does, going up on stage and doing

388
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: stand up. It's the scariest place that I can imagine being.

389
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: You don't have to imagine that. You used to do it, yeah,

390
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: but but never never in front of an arena full

391
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: of people. I know, but that's a different time. I mean,

392
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: you've already put in your work and now you know

393
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: they're already there to see you. The reason you get

394
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: nervous is because you're not sure how they're going to

395
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: react to you. When you know they're already there for you,

396
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: You're like, well, all I gotta do now is not

397
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: disappoint them. That's literally your only your only goal at

398
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: that point is do not disappoint these people. Sixteen thousand

399
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: people came to see you because they like you. Don't

400
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: fucking let them down. I'll tell your back in the day,

401
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: I saw I saw Russell at a place called Yact

402
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: in Toronto, which was at Young and Eglington, kind of

403
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: a famous comedy club in the city. The club Jim

404
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Carrey started. Yeah, and it's a small basement club, right, um,

405
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: And I saw Russell there. This is I mean forever ago.

406
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: And then decades later, one subway ride down, you sold

407
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: out the hockey rank, you sold out the home of

408
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: the Raptors, A couple of nights in a row, and

409
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: it was just subway right down. So I was just

410
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: thinking about how I remember seeing Russell you and you

411
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: think you hosted that night too? Probably yeah, And it

412
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: was just a small night. And then decades later this

413
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: and no comedian in Canada has ever pulled off what

414
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: he's done to be able to do that. Arena's across like,

415
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: nobody can do that. No, only Russell. Not to toot

416
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 1: my own horn, but seven times that's right. But I mean,

417
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: what do you mean, I do want to get the

418
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: facts out there. I mean, since we are talking about it, guys,

419
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, how is that though? I mean, once

420
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: your hometown, it means more to you. I can't I mean,

421
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: I can't understand how that happened. It was a meteorc

422
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: rise for you. So what do you attribute that too? That?

423
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: Um well, it's different. See in Toronto, I had already

424
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: had like the local following, like I was already like

425
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: and especially in the black community in Toronto, I had

426
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: that was like, That's why I grew up, That's the

427
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: people I grew up with. And then Kenny Robinson star

428
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: did uh Black Comedy Night on Sunday started in April

429
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: of and uh, and that's that's that's what really I

430
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: found my I found like, oh, I could beat me

431
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: up here now. So once I found out I could

432
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: beat me up there, that's when I really started working

433
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: hard on those shows because I would want to do

434
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: a different set every month. You don't. In the United States,

435
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: so much of comedy is based around race, right, and

436
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: there's so much about that. That's not really how it

437
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: works in Canada. You have had a little bit of

438
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: the French English stuff, but you didn't. You don't really

439
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of comedy based on race, and no

440
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: one feels comfortable going on and being hyper offensive unless

441
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: it's that old school white guy kind of offensive, which

442
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: quickly played out. So Russell, I mean, from my perspective

443
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: watching you, you rise in in the game, was you

444
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: were able to uncomfortable enough to say things that people

445
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't say. But you never came across as a guy

446
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: who had a background privilege of racism in you. You

447
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: just for all the reasons, but you showed up and

448
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: you said ship that people wouldn't say, and Canadian comics

449
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't do where Russell didn't because he's international. In the

450
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: neighborhood that he grew up in Brampton. So I'm from Alton,

451
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: which is right next door from the town next to me.

452
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: It's very um, it's very ethnically diverse, but it's still

453
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: very much you're your own ethnicity. So especially at the

454
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: time we grew up in the seventies, my town was

455
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: blue collars, fun and it was auto plane up there.

456
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: And yeah, white, really white, like white, trashy white, and

457
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:36,239
Speaker 1: black and but immigrant black like Caribbean. So and there

458
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: was not very many Indian people at all in my hometown.

459
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: Then they were in my hometown Malton. Well, Malton was

460
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: really Italian at one point, and then it became very

461
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: Indian and all the Italians moved to Woodbridge. The neighborhood

462
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: over your town became a mirror of my town because

463
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: it became really Indian and became really really black. And

464
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: then I remember like when in like eighty four west

465
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: towards your school, do you went to Ascension But eighty

466

467
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: Westwood remember they came to play us. I think one

Speaker 1: teachers was a wrestler and they wanted to wrestle each other,

470
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: so that the schools got together. And I remember it

471
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,160

474
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: was the coolest white boy had ever seen in my life.

Speaker 1: is it man? Little Richard, you know, learned from es Brands,

606
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: but essentially is what I heard him and say when

607
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: he passed out. He was like the king and the

608
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: Queen of rock and roll, like little Chure. That's what

609
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: they said. Like Little Richard is kind of ground zero

610
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 1: for all of us for music. I mean really, I mean,

611
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: you know what's funny is because of the music he made,

612
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: nobody ever really made a big deal about him being gay.

613
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't think every it was ever mentioned while he

614
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: was alive. I don't recall it. Yeah, yeah, he was

615
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: just great. He was just like inspiration was inspiration. Yeah,

616
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: so he that he inspired like everybody everything, everybody him

617
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: and Chuck Berry. What about Hendrix. I'm sure Hendricks had

618
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of that from him, and so did

619
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: Uh what's our other guy? Uh uh Prince? Yeah for sure,

620
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: come on, yeah, for sure as obvious. Yeah, Prince even

621
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: said he loved Little Richard. Yeah, like the like all

622
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: the flash of Little Richard and then he liked the

623
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: funk of Rick James and then the guitar style of

624
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Hendrix. You know, Prince said. Prince never once hit

625
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: who his inspirations were, and you never felt like Little

626
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Richard was trying to play somebody else's game for music.

627
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: That Richard, we were playing his game, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

628
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: it was all him. I saw a concert once with

629
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: Chuck Berry and it was wild. Had to be yea

630
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: Chuck Berry Bowdedley, Chuck Berry bowded Ley, Little Richard one

631
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: night and Jerry Lee Lewis was supposed to show up,

632
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: but I said he got sick. I found out later

633
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: I interviewed a guy in his band. I think he

634
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: was just too fucking high to make the plane. Was

635
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: this It was like something like he was still too high. Yeah,

636
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: that's what That's what his bandmate said at the time.

637
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: But but Chuck Berry was obviously and mean to Chuck

638
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: was mean, which is what I liked the bottom on stage.

639
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: He didn't give a fuck. He turned he was at

640
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: the sky Them in Toronto and everybody was playing to

641
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: this big background monitor. Chuck berrys like, that's not rock

642
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: and roll, turn it off, So he everybody had to

643
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: look at him on the stage. You could barely see him. Yeah,

644
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: he was just amazing and boat deadly too. But little

645
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: Richard Slaid had had to slayed that show. I think

646
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: that Wasn't there a Chuck Berry's sex tape that came up? Yeah,

647
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: I think it was. Well. I think he had cameras

648
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: at his theme was at his house. It was innocent. No,

649
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: I think he used to like he used to like

650
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: the ship on Girls or some like that. He apparently

651
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: had cameras above the toilet so you could watch the flush. Man.

652
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: I was watching an episode of American American Dad and

653
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,959

Speaker 1: feel badly about that doesn't sit well a fat Man.

707
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: Although all the other space movies were also category it

708
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: was like, you know, teenagers, and there was like from Space.

709
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: It was always someone from space. Remember Homeboys and Outer Space?

710
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: Wasn't that in four? Homeboys and Out of Space came in?

711
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't that Flex? It was Flex Flex and Darryl Bell.

712
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: I can't think of a guy's name that that created

713
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: that show. A knowing to her brother and uh, we

714
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: went to a screening of this film, right they were

715
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: showing all the new film. I mean TV shows that

716
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: were coming out and they played the pilot to that,

717
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: and I just remember Chris rock was in the theater

718
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: and he was just heckling. He kept going, bring me

719
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: the head of the man who allowed this show to

720
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 1: be made, right, but he's doing it under the seat

721
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: and we're laughing so hard. It was. It was really bad,

722
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: really bad that idea, man, really bad idea. Homeboys. And

723
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: remember Rickety Rocket. The Rickety Rocket was my favorite car too. Yeah,

724
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: I remember that Rickety Rocket was like this. It was

725
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: a cartoon about these spaceships, but they were in the

726
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: ghetto and the spaceships had these big lips and they

727
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: were It was like the most stereotypical ship. You gotta

728
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: look up. Rickety Rocket did not play in Canada, not

729
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. That Eddie Google of Rickety

730
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: Rocket and the Rockets. The Rockets would fly and smoke

731
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: would be coming out the back because they were all

732
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: fucked up, and they used to talk like yeah man, yeah,

733
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: and the Rockets talked you got do you watch Black Jesus?

734
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: I saw Black Jesus. I saw the first season. You

735
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: know Jesus again. Charlie Murphy Spoon was that I forgot

736
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: the guy that played you know he's a comic. Yeah,

737
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: what's his name? It gets really good Black Jesus is

738
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: it's I think they've done three seasons, right, but they

739
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: started doing it about two thousand ten. Thewhere around there

740
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: came out late. Is that rickety rocket? That's rickety rocket.

741
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: Those are the people that drove the rockets. But you

742
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: got to see the rocket ships themselves. Yeah, there we go,

743
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: there go goddamn. And the rocket would talk and ship

744
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: and it would talk like in his job, bass teeth

745
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, it kind of looks like the Magic

746
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: school Bus. You know. It all makes sense to me

747
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: now because when Greg Knight said that a rickety Rocket

748
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: was my favorite cartoon after marriage, the honey Moon. Yeah, yeah,

749
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 1: it all makes sense now. So I wonder if maybe

750
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: he got Erica's his name. I wonder if he got

751
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: the idea for Homeboys and Out of Space because of that,

752
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: it could be maybe hey, we should make a live

753
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: action of this. And at that time, remember homeboys was

754
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: like a new hip word. Are these your homies? That's

755
00:37:53,600 --> 00:38:01,279

949
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: I went to Vancouver when I was about three or

950
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: four years old. You know, my parents the pictures. I

951
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: see the pictures and I kind of remember, and I'm

952
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: not sure if I do or if I just remember

953
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: the picture. But uh, I've been wanting to get to Toronto.

954
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: I will not go to Toronto unless I go with

955
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: Russell Peters or George Georgians. George, you'll come with both

956
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: of us, yeah, man, yeah, we'll have fun. George and

957
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: I we do hang out back home too. Yeah. I

958
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: was at your host last Christmas. Yes, yes, yeah, that's right. Yeah.

959
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: I was sitting at home watching TV by myself, like Christmas.

960
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: He calls me like what are you doing? So I'm

961
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: just watching TV. It's like, come over, come over, have

962
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: food with us, hang out. So I just went over.

963
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: It was good. He held my baby and help your baby.

964
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: That's right now, you know, it's fantastic. This guy is

965
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: very generous anyway, so he is. I mean, you would

966
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: think it's a front. You really would think it's a front.

967
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: But it's like this. It's like, you know, you go

968
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: over his house and you feel comfortable and just like,

969
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: hey man, I want to go check up. We go

970
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: upstairs and look at it. I'm like what, yeah, just

971
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: go look at it. And I'm like, but aren't you

972
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: gonna show me around? Not just come man? It's walk

973
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, And it's it's rare that you find people

974
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: that are that open and honest. It's my theory is,

975
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: if you're in my house, I know you, and I

976
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: don't want you to feel like you in my house

977
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: and I don't trust you. You're here because I trust you.

978
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: If I can't trust you to walk around my house

979
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: by yourself, well then why the funk you at my house? Yeah?

980
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, And he's always been like that, always been

981
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: like that. You know, you shouldn't. I don't. I don't.

982
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't like being paranoid. Maybe you had that house, um,

983
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: you had the house a crosstreet from w I ended

984
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: up living um in the Kuangas and you had a

985
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: you had a keypad in your lock and when I

986
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: would be coming out late, you just text me to

987
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: keep at and I would just go and that's what

988
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: I would crash to the house. But I would go

989
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: there and then I would walk in and somebody else

990
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 1: would be there, and then eight minutes later, somebody else's

991
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: popped to keep at in and you just let you

992
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: let a lot of people stay there who are just

993
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: trying to make their way. Yeah, because I was on

994
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: the road anyway, I was like, I don't want to

995
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: get this damn house just to be selfish with it.

996
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: And that house was dope. It was. It was. It

997
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: was a pain in the ask. The street. It was

998
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: on the steepest street in Remember a car flipped over

999
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: right beside me doing a U turn. Yeah, it's the

1000
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: steepest street I've ever been on in my life. But

1001
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: I bought it because when you were walking up the stairs,

1002
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: you can see the Hollywood sign out the window. And

1003
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: I used to wake up every morning and look out

1004
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: the window and go, holy shit, I'm here, I'm here,

1005
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: it's right. I remember having I remember. I would go

1006
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: back to Toronto still and I had this nice new

1007
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: house in Hollywood Hills, and I would still travel back

1008
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: to my town house that my brother and I lived

1009
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: in in Woodbridge and My bedroom was small. It was

1010
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: a bed on a on a frame. It would hand no,

1011
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: like it didn't have like yeah, it was a box

1012
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: springing a mattress, one of those metal frames, and it

1013
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: was pushed against the wall so I wouldn't fall off

1014
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: the bed, you know what I mean? And uh, and

1015
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: the clothes were piled up on the floor. It was

1016
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: like a fucking teenage boys bedroom. And the bathroom was

1017
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: across the hall. It was like it was like my

1018
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: first house. And I remember waking up one morning and

1019
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: and going, fuck, I think that l a ship was

1020
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: all I really believed. It was a dream, right, yeah,

1021
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: like and then I feel like that Hollywood, it was

1022
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: a dream. Oh it was a good dream. And then

1023
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: my brothers like, when you go back there, like not

1024
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: a dream? Good? All right? It was nice. That's the

1025
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: fun part. When it first happens, I thought that it's

1026
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: not fun now, But when it's all everything's brand Newdy

1027
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: was so nice. That's why I think comics Rawle was

1028
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: pushing the envelope to try and find something new, So

1029
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: don't we don't get stagnant. Ye, Well, that this is

1030
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: one of the great things. It's probably a creative thing.

1031
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: I think you're right, And it's one of the great

1032
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: challenges in my life is that everybody in my life

1033
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: has grown and evolved, and we all change a little bit.

1034
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: I still feel inside I'm still that guy. So I'm

1035
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still as energized by the new experiences I've

1036
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: ever been in. L A is a crime scene of

1037
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: a city, and I love it. But it's a crime scene.

1038
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: George had some dark shit happen. Yeah, for sure, for

1039
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: sure you want to talk about it, I can't if

1040
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: you want to go to tell them what happened. Oh,

1041
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: just one of my closest friends got murdered in my

1042
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,399
Speaker 1: home across the street from that place where I used

1043
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: to live. That happens a lot, Yeah it happens, but

1044
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: like while the friend was just staying there, it just

1045
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 1: a random breaking and a guy got him drugs broken

1046
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: and beat him to death. Yeah, it's pretty nearly, pretty

1047
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: nearly horrible. It's a horrible story. But what's interesting is

1048
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: that that's I always knew l A was like that,

1049
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: and then it happens and you're like, Okay, this is awful.

1050
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: We're still going through the trial, right, so it's still

1051
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: going on the whole thing. But but I still every

1052
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 1: time I would get off that lane and I would

1053
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: I would hit l A, especially in the old days

1054
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: terminal two because you hit terminal two and you're outside

1055
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: in eight seconds, like long, so nice here in your outside.

00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, and there's Wilson's in my family.

1173
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: Um man, but he has kids with or like three

1174
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: or four kids with her, And wait, why did you

1175
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: come over that day? Because I had to show a

1176
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: casino rama that night and I had to drive up

1177
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: to Casina Rama, and I would have been like and

1178
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: I just flown in a town of like fuck man,

1179
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: I was staying up in Casino Ram. I would have

1180
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: to drive down and drive back up. That's a that's

1181
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: an hour and a half drive. I figured, you have

1182
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: Robber Plane at your house, You've got Russ, you gotta

1183
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: come to see this. Come over. You got to come over.

1184
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: Was the coolest man. And I'll tell you it was

1185
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: a real trip for because he didn't seem like he

1186
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: had fun on Stern. No. You know, I had interviewed

1187
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: Robert once before and we we got along pretty well,

1188
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: and so I think that's the reason why he was

1189
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 1: willing to come over. Um, but I still didn't think

1190
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: he was going to come over. So I get the

1191
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: call going Robert Plant said, go come to the house

1192
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: to do an interview. And went, huh, holy sh it,

1193
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: because that's the thing where that joy that I have,

1194
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: all the music that I used to love and all

1195
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: the things that I still connect to Zeppelin or is

1196
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: as big to me as anything I've ever heard in

1197
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: my life. So to me, Zeppelin is when that when

1198
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: that uber pulled up and Robert Plant got over, the

1199
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: Plant in Uber. Yeah. When he got out the car.

1200
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: I think it was number. It might have been driving

1201
00:58:58,360 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: when he got out the car. I was just like,

00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: listen to Zepplin all the time. And I hadn't seen

1206
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: him in years. So I just I said, just so

1207
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: your number? He said yeah. I said, you need to

1208

00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: just come over? And I didn't seen him in years.

1210
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: And so he comes over and I got to introduce

1211
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: him to Robert Plant and I I would have I

1212
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: don't know what I would have done. He would have

1213
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: known who you were. Robert Plant would have known who

1214
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: you were. I think he would have known you were.

1215
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: Robert Plant is really he's really connected to what's happening.

00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: England because he was in Austin for a while. The

1221
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: other one was when James Hetfield from Metallica came over.

1222
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,320

00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: drew what we left South Dakota, drove all night through

1228
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: the snow, and I pulled into my house about a

1229
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: half an hour before Heatfield showed up. And when he

1230
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,600

1252
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,440

01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 1: be the first commercial rap success. Well, it wasn't a

1254
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: big bang Hank who stole Grandmaster Cass lyrics, like the

1255
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: word for word, even the spells out his name and

1256
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: the song I'm the C A S and A OV

1257
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:36,080

Speaker 1: six ft one of them. Cat. You just described cars, Yeah,

1259
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: but I mean Sugger Hill. That song hit, right, I

1260
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: think that's that That thing really hit. First rap song

1261
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: I ever heard, you know, West Coast. So we didn't

1262
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: have we didn't have rap here. Our rap came here

1263
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: late in the eighties with you know when World Class

1264
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: Wrecking Crew and all those guys who was It was

1265
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: mid eighties, mid eighties, mid eighties, so that was like

1266
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: the world Class Recor group wasn't a rap group. They

1267
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: were like R and B that's turned off the lights.

1268
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: They had turned off the lights. It was a great song,

1269
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: but I thought they had a hip hop song to

1270
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:08,479
Speaker 1: our rap song Cabbage Patch. See I when rap first

1271
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood. Hip hop was huge, Wrap is huge,

1272
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: but I um, it was a lot of those dance

1273
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: records and party kind of records, and that didn't really

1274
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: resonate with me because I was listening to a lot

1275
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: of punkin metal at the time, so I didn't the

1276
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: dance stuff wasn't that interesting to mean, I didn't like

1277
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: this goes, so it was like not my vibe. Then

1278
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: we heard Iced Tea and we heard Iced Tea. We

1279
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: were just, oh, this is the guy in Public Enemy.

1280
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: So we had PM and Iced Tea were floating in

1281
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: our head and that was the ship that really really

1282
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: kicked off for us in the neighborhood. And then Best

01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:52,439
Speaker 1: We liked him because he was filthy, right. Yeah. Yeah,

1289
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,240

1292
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: that stuff. That's why the first person I heard on

1293
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: the West Coast just talking some dirty nasty ship was Short,

1294
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: too Short, and uh you know, I spent a lot

1295
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: of time in Oakland, right, so you know when Short

1296
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: was up there talking, it was like gangster. It wasn't

1297
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't good sounding melodic hip hop or anything like that,

1298
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: but it was like it was disgusting Shorts, bitch, I'm

1299
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: saying it sounded like. When I heard him, I was like,

1300
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: this guy gone backwards in time with his like like

1301
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: rudimentary rhymes, like like ship we were doing in the

1302
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: early eighties, like it was you would say on your

1303
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 1: way home from school, like with your friends. That's a

1304
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: game we used to play. We would make up wraps

1305
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: and with the goal was to make it not rhyme

1306
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: when everybody was trying to be dougie, but but different. No,

1307
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: it was. We would do it as a joke. Like

1308
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: I was so thirsty I couldn't think. I opened the four,

1309
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: I opened the fridge and got me a beverage. You know,

1310
01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: just do it like that. That's what early easy. He

1311
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: sounded like, too oh easy. Yeah, you know. He just

1312
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: had that little voice. It was kind of cool, crazy,

1313
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: you know. But and Snoop the same type of thing,

1314
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:11,479
Speaker 1: you know, with that voice, Snooper rap from the gate.

1315
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: But Snoop had that voice though. It was like you

1316
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: had never heard that. It's so much drama and the

1317
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, It was just something smooth.

1318

Speaker 1: he invited me over one time to play basketball. Right.

1375
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,080

1376
01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: But he invited me over and we beat me and

1379
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: easy on Cube, right, And so we played and played

Speaker 1: deadly do right up there. Yeah, of course, Okay, I

1475
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 1: didn't know if it was like something they just sent abroad.

1476
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: When I didn't know is that when when I when

1477
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 1: I first moved out to British Columbia from my first

1478
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: uh well, my second radio job, I didn't realize that

1479
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: they didn't have local police, that it was Mounties that

1480
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,560
Speaker 1: were their police over here. How did you say that?

1481
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: Right there? The Mounties are a real statement of white supremacy,

1482
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: though they were essentially created to displace Indigenous people's. So

1483
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: when if you go to the very beginning of the

1484
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 1: creation of the Mountees, it's a it's some bad ship.

1485
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: It's some bad I mean, it's the federal police. I

1486
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 1: guess there are they are FBI. I guess there are FBI. Right,

1487
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: No ces are c A aren't they try to which one? Yeah,

1488
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: bec I think I think there are more like our FBI,

1489
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: our federal cops we just had. Uh Um, you know,

1490
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: L A p D actually was crazy. I'll tell you that.

1491
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: I'm okay as a as a white guy, as a

1492
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: white presenting ethnic I can't even comprehend what you had

1493
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: to go through here Because L A p D Are

1494
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 1: scary to me, and I've been sucked around by them

1495
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: and beat up by them. But I can't even imagine

1496
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 1: what it would have been like in the eighties here,

1497
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: you know what, it was crazy. But I never had

1498
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: any problems. You know, I was always I was raised.

1499
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta talk to people polite. So when

1500
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: I used to and I got pulled over, and I've

1501
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 1: been on the ground before many times, you know, but

1504
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: you respond to them. Yeah, you'd be a smartass. Of

1505
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: course they're gonna Yeah, you want to play this game. Okay,

1506
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: I knew how to do this. How are you, sir?

1507
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: Good afternoon? Did I do something wrong? What would you

1508
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: like my driver's license? I volunteer everything. Were you scared

1509
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 1: when you were going through that? Yeah? You know what,

1510
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: because you heard other stories, you know. I was never

1511
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: abused by a cop. I mean, let's just be very clear. However,

1512
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: I was told to sit on the curb. I got

1513
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: pulled out the car one time and I was wearing

1514
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: all white I remember this, and they told me to

1515
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 1: get phased down in the street. And I said, you

1516
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: know what, all due respects, there is that necessary. I mean, really,

1517
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 1: get down on the ground. I've got a all the

1518
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 1: white he says, and look, I'm doing my job. Get

1519
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: on the ground. I did it. I get back in

1520
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: the car. There was I did nothing right, and he says,

1521
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: he looks at my license and he goes, oh, and

1522
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: by the way, happy birthday, Mr Evans. I was like,

1523
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 1: this motherfucker. But the sheriffs were just as bad as

1524
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: HP is worse. I think, yeah, yeah, the HP and

1525
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: the L A p D don't get along. And found

1526
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 1: that I didn't know that was. No, they don't like it.

1527
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 1: That's such a weird thing to me. I was like,

1528
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: I got cops were cops. I didn't know there was.

1529
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 1: I've had way better experiences with HP than I have

1530
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 1: with M A P. L A p D. I've been

1531
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: experiences with either of them. To be honest with you,

1532
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: but I always give them the big eyes and I

1533
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: I never question what they're telling me. So did you

1534
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 1: know you were speeding? I mean, I know I was

1535
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 1: going fast, but I was not aware of how fast.

1536
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: That's what I was. I always let them be right,

1537
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, I do say, I don't challenge him.

1538
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: I came off the one on one to the four

1539
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 1: or five here on my motorcycle, and I was just

1540
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: trying out this new race bike, and I just thought,

1541
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 1: fucking I'm just gonna see how fastest thing goes. So

1542
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 1: I was going, and I was going fast. And I

1543
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,600
Speaker 1: come off the on ramp like the transition to the

1544
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: four or five, and I'm moving. I don't know how,

1545
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: maybe I'm going a hundred in I don't know, twenty miles,

1546
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 1: an miles or something like that on the motorcycle. Just

1547
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: loop down the highway and I see uh HP on

1548
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 1: a motorcycle in front of me, So I eat the brakes.

1549
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to pass them. Right if I pass them,

1550
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get I'm losing the bike. I was going

1551
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 1: so fast, so I just eat the fucking breaks where

1552
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: and I pulled up essentially beside him in my lane.

1553
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: I don't pass him, so he doesn't know how fast

1554
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm going. So I'm riding and I look over him

1555
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: and I nod, and he nods at me, and then

1556
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: he looks at me and he says yeah, like I'll

1557
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: let you go, And I went yeah, and I said yeah, okay,

1558
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 1: So I hit the throttle just a bit take off.

1559
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 1: It turns the lights on. So now my helmet wasn't

1560
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: even on properly time, so I cracked my helmet off

1561
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 1: my face, like what the fuck? Now we're moving down

1562
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 1: the four or five to the cop and the complix over.

1563
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: He says, I said, go. He wanted me to fly away.

1564
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: I went, okay, and I cracked the throttle, shot away

1565
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 1: from the cop and I can see him just give

1566
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 1: me the thumbs up. Just give me the thumbs up

1567
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: in the rear of your mirror. That's that's the only

1568
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: time I felt that safe around the age Piezo was

1569
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 1: on the four or five on the bike. Yeah, that

1570
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:46,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen. A different story that that was white privilege.

1571
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,760
Speaker 1: I get that that was white privilege, but you're kind

1572
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 1: of you're not that white. No, I'm not physically my

1573
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: dad's from me jypt Yeah definitely, but I present white

1574
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 1: to uh yeah, yeah, but no. I got lucky at

1575
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 1: that time. But I got pulled over in Hollywood and

1576
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 1: she had some questions for me, and I was I

1577
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: was very polite for about twenty minutes, and then I

1578
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 1: wasn't anymore. And then I was on the ground. I

1579
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:07,600
Speaker 1: moved to the valley. I don't have any problems with

1580
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 1: the cops anymore. None. I get pulled over, I did something,

1581
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: I probably did it, yeah, yeah, but I don't have

1582
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: any problems. You know, when you when you shameless plug,

1583
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: when you drive a more expensive car, you would think like,

1584
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:27,640
Speaker 1: say your name is Bentley, Yeah, absolutely, and then and

1585
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: then you acquire when his son rolls Royce and then

1586
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, so, so you're driving, the police get behind,

1587
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: You're like, they're gotta pull me over, and they just

1588
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: drive on on bott I'm gonna like this the perks,

1589
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah. Oh. My greatest cops story was

1590
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: in South Africa. Right. We're in uh, we're in joe Burg,

1591
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 1: and there's this guy, he was our international agent, and

1592
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,840
Speaker 1: he was driving the car, so it looks like he's

1593
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: driving about a bunch of NBA players around. We're rolling

1594
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: through joe Burg and we pulled into our our hotel

1595
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: and the police pull us over and this black guy

1596
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: gets off his you know, gets out of his car.

1597
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: He walks up, he goes license and registration. And the

1598
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 1: guy that I'm with is whitey South African Italian, right,

1599
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: and so he gives him, He gives him his license.

1600
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:16,640
Speaker 1: He's like, what is the meaning of this? What is Well,

1601
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,599
Speaker 1: I don't understand the meaning. And so the cop goes,

1602
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: you've been drinking. He goes, well, you know, well I've

1603
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: I've had one one glass of wine. And I'm in

01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 1: the back seat going no, no, you have him drinking nothing, nothing,

1605
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 1: And so the cop goes get out of the car.

1606
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: And so I'm in the back going and man, don't

1607
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,600
Speaker 1: worry about We'll call the Italian consulate for you, you know.

1608
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: And he and the guy goes. He looks in the

1609
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: car and he looks at me, and he goes get

1610
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: out of the car. And my wife's in the car too.

1611
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:44,760

01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 1: you're doing with this guy? It was it was the

1617
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 1: It was the exact opposite of what would happened here

1618
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: because he were black, right, And he goes, he goes,

1652
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: feels so good to be doing shows and selling merch again.

1653
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: And if you sell stuff too, and you're selling it online,

1654
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: that means a lot of orders are coming in and

1655
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 1: a lot of orders you'll need to ship out fast.

1656
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 1: And with so many people relying on online shipping, avoiding

1657
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: shipping hiccups is um must. That's why online sellers like

1658
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: you need ship Station no matter how much you sell.

1659
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 1: Ship Station makes it super easy to manage and ship

1660
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:56,719
Speaker 1: all your orders from all your sales channels faster, cheaper,

01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: and more efficiently. With ship station, you can in port

1662
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,760

01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: automate just about any shipping task. Basically, ship station will

1664
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,720
Speaker 1: do all the heavy shipping for you. And that is

1665
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 1: what I love most about it because I don't want

1666
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: to have to think too much about shipping. That is

1667
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 1: some tedious ship. You'll even get access to discounts with

1668
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: major carriers including UPS, FedEx and USPS. Ship Station makes

1669

Speaker 1: it possible for small businesses to access the same rates

1670
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 1: usually reserve for fortune companies without the contracts or commitments.

1671
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 1: And that's some good ship. So if you're selling stuff

1680
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 1: that you had like a funny sign off when you

1681
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: were with your first TV show about or like a

1682
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: sign on or something I never got to hear, but

1683
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: about like you being like that you're Canada's boyfriend. Oh yeah,

1684
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 1: so I used to I used to introduce myself in

1685
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: the areas your boyfriend, yeah every night? Yeah, you know.

1686
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 1: And how it's actually kind of timely. How it happened

1687
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 1: when I was working at Much Music, which was like

1688
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 1: MTV at the time. We um. I was doing the news,

1689
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 1: so I was reporting on stories it's happening the music business.

1690
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:40,560
Speaker 1: But it was in that era where a lot of

1691
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: the pop stars and the pop culture entertainment television started

1692
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,839
Speaker 1: to change, and I kept being asked to do stories

1693
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 1: about who random pop star was dating, and I was,

1694
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 1: I didn't I was, I didn't feel comfortable with it.

1695
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: Also thought it was kind of bullshit, and you know,

1696
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: and I was still in that and still am. I

1697
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: listened to the kind of music where I respect artists

1698
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 1: and so I want to to be about the artist

1699
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: and they were like, no, you know, people care about

1700
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:04,640
Speaker 1: the girlfriend the boyfriend. And I was like, funk that,

1701
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about Britney Spearits boyfriend. And

1702
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: it was about Britney Spirits boyfriend. And I said, I

1703
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: remember saying this to somebody. Do you notice we only

1704
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 1: ever talked about who the girls are dating. We never

1705
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 1: really talked about who all the guys are dating. I said,

1706
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem right that we're doing this, like

1707
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 1: no what people want to hear about Britney's boyfriends. I

1708
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 1: went on, you're gonna suck it. I'm your boyfriend, and

1709
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 1: that's how I started doing it. And then when I

1710
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: left Much Music, I went to do a talk show.

1711
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: I just said on the air as a kind of

1712
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: a joke, I'm your boyfriend, George as a holdover, never

1713
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: thinking I was gonna keep doing it. But I got

1714
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: a letter from somebody in the audience who said, please

1715
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: don't he is a guy. He said, please don't call

1716
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 1: me your boyfriend because I don't call yourself my boyfriend

1717
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: because it confuses me. And I remember thinking, no, funk it,

1718
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing it. So I just started doing it.

1719
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 1: I got confused by It's just some guy got confused

1720
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 1: by it, even when I called a boyfriend, and I

1721
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: was like, well, no, listen, now, clearly there's some weird

1722
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know what you're going through if

1723
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,519
Speaker 1: that's homophobia, but I'm gonna do it anyway. So I

1724
01:22:57,640 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: just didn't like the way that that's how I started

1725
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: calling myself if your boyfriend? And then it stuck because uh,

1726
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 1: it was CBC, so a lot of older people were watching.

1727
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't remember this, Yeah, that's why I used to

1728
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:07,640
Speaker 1: do it. And he's like, ninety year old woman, be like,

1729
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: you're my boyfriend, and so it just became the thing,

1730
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: and I was happy to do it. It was it

1731
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: was kind of cute. It was a nice break. And

1732
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: so Brittany was the first. She was the inspiration Britain.

1733
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: Did you watch that the he was one of my

1734
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: interviews in that there's an interview I did with her

1735
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: part of it and they kind of take it out

1736
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 1: of context. But I just ran a clip of it

1737
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: because I was trying to warn Brittany back then. It's

1738
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: sort of if you listen to the clip. I was

1739
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: asking her like, do you have people around you that

1740
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: are protecting you? And she's like my family, my family.

1741
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: I felt badly for man. She was a kid, kind

1742
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 1: of a shell of a person, and the way she

1743
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 1: was treated and the media were horrific, horrific to her

1744
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,559
Speaker 1: cold generation. They weren't very nice too, No, not at all.

1745
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,800
Speaker 1: And and and the media need to own up to

1746
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: the ship that they did. I made lots of jokes

1747
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: on the air that I probably wouldn't make today, but

1748
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: when when I sat down across these I didn't. Never

1749
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 1: treated Brittany like that, never treated pop stars like that.

1750
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 1: I tried to avoid most pop stars and interviews because

1751
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 1: I didn't think you could do a real interview because

1752
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: they were all part of the fucking wheel and I thought,

1753
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 1: that's go be with somebody else. That's not the game

1754
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: I want to play. But I the media were horrific.

1755
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 1: Well that's why I think it's interesting that you said that, though,

1756
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: because like everyone was talking about how people would ask

1757
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 1: her questions when she was a teenager, like, oh, so

1758
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,280
Speaker 1: you're still a virgin and you're you know, you worried

1759
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 1: about that. I'm twelve. Yes, I'm a virgin. Awful, awful,

1760
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 1: and they don't. But that's the truth is entertainment media

1761
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: is it's ship, and it was shipped then and it's

1762
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 1: worse now. But it was mean, and at least now

1763
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: with social media there is there are repercussions because now

1764
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: the audience can hold you accountable. Yeah, and you can

1765
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: also somewhat defend yourself. Yeah, if you're misrepresented. Yeah. Yeah,

1766
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: but if you're being attacked, you can't there's no recourse

1767
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 1: for you. No, And Brittany was treated awfully by people.

1768
01:24:58,200 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: But again I don't have I didn't have a lot

1769
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: of time for upstars because I thought they were courting

1770
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 1: this bullshit game. And if you play the bullshit game,

1771
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 1: you can't be mad when the bullshit game hits you.

1772
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 1: But she was a kid, and so it heard. The

1773
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 1: responsibility was not on her, it was on the people

1774
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 1: around her. Was a Disney kid. She wasn't fair. It

1775
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: was it was she was treated terribly, treated terribly. But

1776
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 1: but you had I I knew Miley Cyrus was going

1777
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 1: to go the way she went when I saw her

1778
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: as a kid on what I Carly or whatever was.

1779
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't watch this ship, but I

1780
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,799
Speaker 1: currently was better. I mean she was, Miley was better protected.

1781
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 1: I think, Well, you knew she was gonna go that

1782
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: way because her dad was a big star. Yeah, yeah,

1783
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: her dad was a good guy. I never met him.

1784
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:39,680
Speaker 1: Billy Ray was a good guy. I know he was

1785
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: in Toronto a lot. Yeah, yeah, he was, and he

1786
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 1: was he was a he was a really nice generation.

1787
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 1: The thing he did a little a little nos X,

1788
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,560
Speaker 1: that's no small thing. That's a big thing. What he

1789
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 1: did for a little noasax and and and Billy Ray

1790
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 1: was pretty red. But yeah, the thing about much music

1791
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: was much music didn't always get it right, but it

1792
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: was still there was an era where we actually really

1793
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 1: cared about sure the artists were good. We didn't want

1794
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,120
Speaker 1: We thought being a good human came first. Again, that's

1795
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: a Canadian thing. Yeah, we didn't always get it right though,

1796
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: like a lot of times, she got wrong for sure.

1797
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,720
Speaker 1: When you look back, I think we've deteriorated over there

1798
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: into into what because everything we didn't like we became. Yeah,

1799
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: usually Canada's about ten years behind the US in terms

1800
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 1: of it's it's trends. Usually I think they're now. Yeah,

1801
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: it's accelerated it for two years now. It has it's heart.

1802
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: Canada was like the nicest place, the nicest people, the cleanest.

1803
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I mean it's definitely clean,

1804
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: but we're polite. Yeah, we're polite, but I don't know

1805
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 1: about the nice part. I I don't buy that. Yeah,

1806
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean we're we're genuinely nice people, but we're rust

1807
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: and I are from That's the thing about. And I

1808
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 1: think America goes through the United States goes through this

1809
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 1: as well. Where we're from, the rest of Canada is

1810
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: not like where we're from, and where the rest of

1811
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 1: Canada is. Every part is pretty different. We're from this

1812
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 1: really multicultural west side of our city. It just it

1813
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 1: was a very unique place. We weren't far from the city, yeah,

1814
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 1: but yet we were far enough. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well

1815
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: can you guys tell me what caravan is like I

1816
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: used to be. It was used to ye used it

1817
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: was incredible. It was really incredible until people started shooting

1818
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: at it. Somebody got run over by one of the

1819
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 1: trucks one year. But I don't know, I'm laughing at that.

1820
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't mean to laugh at that, but like it

1821
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,600
Speaker 1: changed at all, Like the parade route used to be

1822
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 1: on University. That's so much fun. I don't even like

1823
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 1: Calypso and I. Artists would come up, every artist would

1824
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 1: come just to have a good time. Like Carabana wasn't me.

1825
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 1: I've never been a carnival in London. Have you ever

1826
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 1: been to that in London? Nottingham, notting Hill? That I

1827
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:48,600
Speaker 1: never I went. I think I went like on the

1828
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 1: day before the day after something. Everybody was like, I

1829
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: don't want to go, it's dangerous. So I was like, okay,

1830
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 1: and I went to I went to some parties from it.

1831
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 1: And I remember when Kiss FM, this was like a

1832
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties when Kiss FM, he used to be a

1833
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 1: pirate station. Then they had gone legit and they had

1834
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 1: like this big party and it might have been in

1835
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 1: one of those parks, like in Nottinghell Park or something

1836
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: like that, and l L performed and that's when Mama said,

1837
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 1: Knock You Out was out and I was like, Holy,

1838
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 1: shouldn't watching LLL here in London? And it was pretty dope, amazing,

1839
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And I was like, how did they get him?

1840
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Did you listen to BLK? Of course I did, and

1841
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: we were kids that we. W b Okay was a

1842
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 1: station in a Buffalo. It was w B Okay. I

1843
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 1: think you can figure out what station was. I wonder

1844
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: what that means. It was ninety four. It was amazing

1845
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 1: because you know, there were no radio stations in Toronto

1846
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 1: when we Radio stations weren't playing hip hop in Toronto

1847
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:40,879
Speaker 1: until well into the nineties. Well, no, we had the underground,

1848
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 1: like the college radio stations were really keeping it alive,

1849
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 1: but like mainstream wasn't doing it, but b LK is

1850
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 1: what we would hear, and that was like the music

1851
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 1: was fucking incredible. And because of where we lived, we

1852
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 1: lived out of range from the one college station that

1853
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 1: was like c KLN eight eight point one. They were

1854
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 1: the ones on Saturday, Ron Nelson, this guy had this

1855
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:02,800
Speaker 1: hip hop show from one till four every Saturday. But

1856
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 1: where we lived, you couldn't pick it up on eight

1857
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 1: eight point one. So if you took the unscrewed the

1858
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 1: cable from the TV and taped it to the antenna,

1859
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 1: you pick it up on ninety three point five point seven.

1860
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: And we could listen to the American stations at night,

1861
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 1: but when the sun came up, we would lose the

1862
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 1: signal and the interference would come in, so late at

1863
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: night you could put on and catch the U S stations.

1864
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 1: And and also you know, in our neighborhood, a lot

1865
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't know Brampton, but Malton, A lot of guys

1866
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 1: had cousins in Philadelphia or in New York. Yeah, I

1867
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 1: would have might would come up that way, like, oh,

1868
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: you're going to New York, you record the radio for

1869
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 1: me while there. Yeah, that's when I first heard go

1870
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 1: see the doctor, See the doctor, and I don't. I

1871
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:41,719
Speaker 1: think it might have been Red Alert who was cutting

1872
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:43,600
Speaker 1: it up that night. I was back and forth and

1873
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:45,800
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, I got this. It was must

1874
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 1: six when that happened, eighty six, because I remember this girl,

1875
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:50,560
Speaker 1: his white girl from school, was going, I'm going to

1876
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 1: New York. Anybody wanting to go, can you give me

1877
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 1: a canggle and record the radio for me? Get certain

1878
01:29:56,400 --> 01:30:01,320
Speaker 1: ship out there, like we couldn't get the dres Glide pumas,

1879
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 1: the suede ones, like they were really hard to find

1880
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 1: back then. I remember the first day a guy in

1881
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:09,519
Speaker 1: our neighborhood had the first Jordan's. I almost wore my

1882
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 1: Jordan WANs here today, but the very fun Yeah, I

1883
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:15,639
Speaker 1: got the I got the o G. I was gonna

1884
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 1: wear them up, the red and black, the red and blacks.

1885
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 1: And I remember the first time somebody had them. People

1886
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,320
Speaker 1: we would go to our front door to look outside

1887
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,519
Speaker 1: to watch a guy walk down the street with the George.

1888
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 1: He had the full student. That guy Billy had the pumas.

1889
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:29,880
Speaker 1: When I saw him, how do you get the pumas?

1890
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 1: So he said, there's no heaven right. Both of you

1891
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:35,880
Speaker 1: guys said that there's no heaven. So I think I've

1892
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 1: asked Russell this before. So do you think that when

1893
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 1: it's over, it's just over nothing else? That? Yeah, why

1894
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 1: should there be something? I don't know. I think as

1895
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,680
Speaker 1: we want there to be something that's that's the only

1896
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 1: reason we made it up. Well, here's what I think.

1897
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 1: I think that I think that your energy will live on, right,

1898
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 1: But I don't think your energy is conscious and I

1899
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:56,680
Speaker 1: don't I think consciousness is a human creation, right, the

1900
01:30:56,800 --> 01:31:01,920
Speaker 1: revolution and adaptation. So the so our energy will stay

1901
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:05,240
Speaker 1: in this biosphere, it'll as it always has been. But

1902
01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll know it. I think you know

1903
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: that I don't. Like I think would be dope if

1904
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 1: something else happened. But I think when the lights go

1905
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:15,760
Speaker 1: at thet anything, we're more realistic about it. Like, but

1906
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: I think that the energy kind of goes and does

1907
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 1: this thing proof for any of it? An a little

1908
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 1: bit of proof? What about Okay? So what about ghosts

1909
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 1: and what about Yeah, I live in the house that

1910
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 1: people think is haunted right now, and there's some weird

1911
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 1: ship that happened in my house all the time, and

1912
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:31,240
Speaker 1: some of it I was doing a live stream and

1913
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:33,599
Speaker 1: somebody asked me, are you afraid? And I said, I'm

1914
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 1: not afraid because only two things can happen, nothing or

1915
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:39,479
Speaker 1: fucking everything. And if if it's nothing, cool, then it's

1916
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:41,840
Speaker 1: on brand with where I'm at. But if there are

1917
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:45,560
Speaker 1: ghosts and something does happen, everything is different. In my

1918
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:48,080
Speaker 1: mind right now, there's another funk. I'm here for that.

1919
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,479
Speaker 1: I'm here for that. If that's real. I think that

1920
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:54,040
Speaker 1: if if if it does exist, they don't they choose

1921
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 1: not to show themselves to me because I've got people

1922
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 1: all around and go, man, you're crazy. You don't believe

1923
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:00,920
Speaker 1: in man, I'm telling you. My aunt can't. So I go, oh, yeah,

1924
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:02,479
Speaker 1: your aunt came to visit you. Is that right? So

1925
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:04,680
Speaker 1: what what was your aunt wearing? What she had on

1926
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:06,760
Speaker 1: this gown? And that's also her ghost? I saw her

1927
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 1: gown had a ghost too. Yeah, right, because if it

1928
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:11,519
Speaker 1: was a ghost, she would be naked. That's right, because

1929
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:16,640
Speaker 1: come on, now, you just think about that for the

1930
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 1: I just I just imagine that. One of the nice

1931
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:21,400
Speaker 1: things about getting older is you look back at life

1932
01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:23,599
Speaker 1: and you just think that most of this bullshit anyway,

1933
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,080
Speaker 1: right when you get older, you just realize there's it's

1934
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 1: not worth threatening over ship. So if you're gonna die,

1935
01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 1: if there's another plane, if you're gonna die and go

1936
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:34,680
Speaker 1: to the next plane, you're gonna really look back to

1937
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 1: the bullshit that was on this No, you're on another level.

1938
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:40,479
Speaker 1: You're not coming back here. That's why I don't think

1939
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:42,640
Speaker 1: that sh it's happening here, because if I, if I

1940
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,040
Speaker 1: die and I suddenly get to live in another plane,

1941
01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm done with this place. Come onto the next adventure. Yeah.

1942
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:52,320
Speaker 1: I I might have another theory where it's like, okay,

1943
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 1: let's just say there is something else. Let's look at it.

1944
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 1: This is a video game. We're in and level, you're

1945
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:00,599
Speaker 1: out of this level, you move to the next level

1946
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:02,960
Speaker 1: and see that that's interesting. Yeah, I can live with that.

1947
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:05,639
Speaker 1: Did you guys grow up religious? Both of you? Russell

1948
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:11,120
Speaker 1: and my mother is a fundamentalist Christian hardcore. I was Catholic.

1949
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:14,080
Speaker 1: We weren't like it wasn't beating over our head or nothing.

1950
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:16,760
Speaker 1: But you know, Christmas and Easter we would have to

1951
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 1: go and I would always, even as a kid in

1952
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:22,960
Speaker 1: single digits, I would sit there going, something doesn't add

1953
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 1: up in this thing you call the see an ease

1954
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 1: the Christmas and Easters. The joke of my family was

1955
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 1: my mother used to be Catholic, then she found God

1956
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:33,200
Speaker 1: like that religious my mom, Yeah, she's so religious. She

1957
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:35,120
Speaker 1: doesn't even think she's religious. She's like, I don't have religion.

1958
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 1: This is just what I know to be true. But

1959
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:40,280
Speaker 1: I'll say this about my mom, and mom is really sweet. Yeah,

1960
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 1: she's like she is exactly what when people criticize Christians,

1961
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:47,439
Speaker 1: they want Christians to act more Christian. My mom is

1962
01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:50,080
Speaker 1: the embodiment of what you want people to act like

1963
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 1: like she is. She quit her job as a nurse

1964
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 1: because she thought this is in the eighties, because she

1965
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: thought doctors were over prescribing patients pills and she didn't

1966
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with that. She decided to no longer earn

1967
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 1: money except getting a paper root and ship like that,

1968
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:07,200
Speaker 1: so she could just go work on behalf of people.

1969
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 1: So I will. I would come home from school and

1970
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 1: my bed was gone because my mom would give it

1971
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:14,280
Speaker 1: away to a family who needed it. Like my mom,

1972
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:16,360
Speaker 1: that's her life and to this day she does that stuff.

1973
01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:19,640
Speaker 1: My mom was like the Christian right, and then it

1974
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 1: drives her crazy that I listened to the music I

1975
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,280
Speaker 1: listened to and I just can't have that. I just can't.

1976
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 1: I just don't believe in it. Right. Interesting, Yeah, but

1977
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 1: she's were you religious? I mean similar. It was like

1978
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,519
Speaker 1: there was a time when I went you know, like

1979
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:37,040
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I probably went to church

1980
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 1: and stuff more and whatever. But um, but yeah, it

1981
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:42,720
Speaker 1: turned into the same thing. But Mother's Day was in

1982
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 1: the mix too. It was like Mother's Day was a

1983
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:46,439
Speaker 1: good time to go to church as well. I think

1984
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:48,640
Speaker 1: my mom was just like I can feel like I

1985
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 1: did something and then we can go to branch I had.

1986
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 1: I had cousins that were all churchy, and it was

1987
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 1: always weird to me. I had church all the time.

1988
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: I went to Bible camps and Christian camps summertime, all

1989
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:02,560
Speaker 1: that stuff. You know, I didn't have to go to

1990
01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:04,960
Speaker 1: church all my my mom didn't beat that down our throat.

1991
01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 1: So it was like, you know, occasionally we went and

1992
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:10,600
Speaker 1: then uh, my oldest sister got saved and then my

1993
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 1: my other sister got saved, and then it was like hilarious.

1994
01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:19,639
Speaker 1: So so so then then I started going to church

1995
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:21,720
Speaker 1: as a teenager because it was a social thing and

1996
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's pretty girls hanging out in the church

1997
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 1: and stuff, and so I got all into it, you know,

1998
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:28,000
Speaker 1: for a little bit. I got saved. I did the

1999
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:30,439
Speaker 1: whole thing. Yeah, yeah, man, I did all that stuff.

2000
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:32,840
Speaker 1: And so they dipped in the water. Did you get

2001
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:34,800
Speaker 1: the baptism? I got baptized. But they did it with

2002
01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 1: the cross with the water on the head. I didn't

2003
01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 1: get dunked. I didn't do the dunk. I made my kids.

2004
01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 1: I didn't make my kids do the dunk. My wife did.

2005
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:42,240
Speaker 1: I was like this, they don't have to do that.

2006
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 1: They don't want to. I can do I can see

2007
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 1: his son doing it too. Oh my, got always and

2008
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 1: that's how my son talked. J oh my God. The

2009
01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 1: kids the most laid back talk. Oh hey, George, you

2010
01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 1: can't even get mad at. I'm like this. You didn't

2011
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,519
Speaker 1: take the trash out like I asked you to last night. Man,

2012
01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:03,920
Speaker 1: I forget at Just go alright, let's figure it out.

2013
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:07,719
Speaker 1: He figured it out. He figured it out back, that's dope. Yeah,

2014
01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:11,320
Speaker 1: he got a tattoo. The first time I saw his tattoo.

2015
01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:13,920
Speaker 1: You know, of course, as a parent, you flip out,

2016
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 1: because even if you got tattoos, you still feel a

2017
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 1: little weird. Like when you're doing well, because he's making

2018
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 1: decisions now. And I saw that tattoo and I said,

2019
01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 1: what the fund did you do? And he goes, well,

2020
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, I was in New Orleans. I said, but

2021
01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 1: why did you do it? He goes, because I wanted it?

2022
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 1: What could I say to that? I said, carry on?

2023
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:35,519
Speaker 1: I mean what could you say? What is it? Yeah? Um,

2024
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:37,519
Speaker 1: well he's got he's got his whole chest done now.

2025
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 1: But he really, yeah, is the most clean cut looking

2026
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 1: kids you've ever seen. I can't even pictu him with

2027
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 1: the tattoo. It chess is done. Is I've never seen

2028
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:46,720
Speaker 1: your son without a shirt off. There you go, and

2029
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to Well, you might say him in

2030
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:52,040
Speaker 1: your pools. I'm yeah, I'm pretty sure he'd work one.

2031
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 1: What's his Uh? Does he have a thing that he

2032
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:57,559
Speaker 1: likes to do? What he wants acting? He hangs out here.

2033
01:36:57,640 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 1: I met him because his son hangs out my house. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

2034
01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:05,720
Speaker 1: so he's he's a laid back kid. Did you did

2035
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 1: you offer any advice about the game, because you know

2036
01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 1: this business so well. I think I did, But I think, uh,

2037
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,599
Speaker 1: he'll probably listen to somebody like Russell before he'll listen

2038
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:18,880
Speaker 1: to me because he'll feel like, you know, it's dad

2039
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: trying to tell me, and you know they want to

2040
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:23,960
Speaker 1: stick the chest down like they did it. But uh,

2041
01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, kids are kids are tripped. They'll listen to

2042
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:27,479
Speaker 1: the people before they listen to their parents because I

2043
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 1: think they just don't want to hear it from their parents.

2044
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 1: Not to embarrass you, but does your son recognize how

2045
01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:35,240
Speaker 1: important the work you made is that? Does he know

2046
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:39,080
Speaker 1: your your place culturally? I don't think he does. My

2047
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 1: daughter I think does, but I don't think my son does.

2048
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,760
Speaker 1: Martin and Jamie Foxx is Sitcom's Yeah, I mean that's

2049
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 1: that's groundbreaking ship. Yeah yeah, But you gotta understand these

2050
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:51,720
Speaker 1: kids are born like you're right, Yeah, they don't know

2051
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:54,680
Speaker 1: what we knew. Like I had one of the kid here, Um,

2052
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm working with this kid. I'm building an app right

2053
01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,960
Speaker 1: and uh he's I think twenty. How old is that? Zenna?

2054
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:07,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was like really good kid. Uh. His

2055
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,360
Speaker 1: parents are from Nigeria. He's born in Texas and he's

2056
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:13,320
Speaker 1: moved out here. He's six ft nine. He used to

2057
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 1: play basketball and he didn't want to do it. He

2058
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 1: just wanted to be a web designer and get into

2059
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:19,400
Speaker 1: the tech world. And I was like, I respect that.

2060
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:23,000
Speaker 1: And he was asking. He goes, hey, how how good

2061
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 1: was Mike Tyson really as good as people say he was?

2062
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 1: And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? Mike

2063
01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 1: Tyson is the last benchmark? Yeah, he is like, there's

2064
01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:35,600
Speaker 1: not been a Mike Tyson since Mike Tyson. No, No,

2065
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:38,240
Speaker 1: And I was like, are you serious. He goes, yeah,

2066
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean I heard I go. Just go watch his

2067
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:44,519
Speaker 1: knockouts on YouTube. You'll you'll understand it's amazing. But think

2068
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 1: of this. So when we're like fifteen years old, we

2069
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 1: got Jordan's Gretzky, Tyson, Tyson, we got um. People forget

2070
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson. Then comes the primetime deon. We had an

2071
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:05,040
Speaker 1: air of athletes that are on another people can't do

2072
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:07,439
Speaker 1: that anymore, a two sport athlete and being good in

2073
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:10,040
Speaker 1: both sports. No one's doing that. There's no fucking Bo

2074
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:13,840
Speaker 1: Jackson anymore. There's no Dion Standers anymore. Do that. No,

2075
01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 1: And we were kids when we got to see that,

2076
01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 1: it became its so we expected every athlete to be

2077
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah. So I'm a few years older than

2078
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 1: both of you guys, I literally remember seeing Ali fight.

2079

01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 1: it was late seventies when we were watching him, like

2082
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:35,560

Speaker 1: didn't see him play. But I actually worked with Jim

2085
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 1: a couple of times, so I never saw him play.

2086
01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:45,680
Speaker 1: Just just the you know, the highlights and stuff like that,

2087
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:48,280
Speaker 1: but I never saw it in person. I do remember

01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:51,160
Speaker 1: Will Chamberlain playing. Now I was in kindergarten and he

2089
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 1: was playing for the Lakers. That's incredible. The high short era,

2090
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:56,760
Speaker 1: the mythologist man, Yeah, these guys were. I mean, these

Speaker 1: guys were everything. Stuff that much dick and high shorts.

2092
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:03,960
Speaker 1: To take this into the other direction, guys, you know,

2093
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 1: while we're celebrating him, let's not ignore the facts. Look

2094
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: look at that pose right there. How does it not

2095
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:14,639
Speaker 1: just fall out? Do you think that he really slept

2096
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:18,599
Speaker 1: with twenty women? I mean, I mean I don't think.

2097
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: How is that humanly possible? Well, let's see do the math.

2098
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:26,360
Speaker 1: You have to wait, Um, yeah, I mean I think

2099
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:30,240
Speaker 1: you know that's a big numbers man, it's I'm just

2100
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 1: saying no repeats, No, I'm gonna see you again on Tuesday.

2101
01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 1: It was all New Chicks. I that when he put

2102
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 1: that number out, I remember thinking number one. Don't brag

2103
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 1: about it. Is he still lying he he lived around

2104
01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:46,800
Speaker 1: here because I used to see him at the Ralphs

2105
01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:50,439
Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah. I used see will put in

2106
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 1: the supermarket by him, his women at the supermarket. What

2107
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:59,599
Speaker 1: are you doing picking up some chick chicks? Chickens picking

2108
01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:05,160
Speaker 1: up some seconds, big numbers. Jean Simmons say, Jean Simmons

2109
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:08,640
Speaker 1: that he did something was probably as a crazy higher

2110
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:11,920
Speaker 1: but Jean Simmons um the challenge. Jeans, he said, He's

2111
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:14,840
Speaker 1: always say he was. He was happily unmarried for a

2112
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:17,439
Speaker 1: long time. But that came to a head. Yeah, well

2113
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:19,200
Speaker 1: his wife put that to a stop. She did. Now

2114
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 1: he's born again, is he No? I was like, no, no, no,

2115
01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 1: we lost an he's born in Israel. I don't think

2116
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:27,880
Speaker 1: he could be born again. So now that checked out

2117
01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 1: to me, I was like, that makes sense, fucking Jeane

2118
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:34,439
Speaker 1: Jane Simmons, I kuess they were pretty good. I wasn't

2119
01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:35,960
Speaker 1: a big kiss fan as a kid. Kiss I was

2120
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:39,920
Speaker 1: a huge that I think I remember was a huge

2121
01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:42,720
Speaker 1: Kiss fan. Wasn't huge into them. I liked a few

2122
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:44,880
Speaker 1: of the songs back, and I wasn't so much the

2123
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 1: music from the music, yes, but it was the whole

2124
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:52,160
Speaker 1: thing I was, you know, I understand. I My first

2125
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:54,559
Speaker 1: record that I ever got, like real record that wasn't

2126
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 1: like a a kid's record or something, was was love

2127
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:00,200
Speaker 1: Gun Oh nice line was Black Sabbath. Paranoid my first one.

2128
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 1: What year did that come out? Paramoid came out in

2129
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:04,800
Speaker 1: the seventies, But I got it later. I got a

2130
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 1: garage sale, a flea market parking line, right, I got

2131
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 1: like Mind seventy seven I got I got this record

2132
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:13,120
Speaker 1: at the Bramley City Center. I saw it on the

2133
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: wall and I said to my dad, I want that record,

2134
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 1: and he bought it for me. How were you I

2135
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: was six going on seven. Yeah, yeah, that's probably the

2136
01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 1: age I was when I got Paranoid. Do you remember

2137
01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 1: your first line? Yeah? I think it was probably Jackson

2138
01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 1: five going Places album, um No lit the great? So,

2139
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:35,679
Speaker 1: I mean I think that we could all agree. Maybe

2140
01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:38,400
Speaker 1: let's let's let me throw this out. There was Michael Jackson,

2141
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 1: the most recognizable face to ever walk to Earth. Well,

2142
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:48,280
Speaker 1: which face, well, all of them so fabulous, What a

2143
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 1: fabulous joked, That's fabulous. I would say there are only

2144
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: two people in the world who never needed a passport,

2145
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 1: and Michael wasn't one of them in my mind, that's right, Yeah,

2146
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:02,960
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali, right, and the Pope, Pope, Pope, Pope John

2147
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 1: Paul the Second. Him and Muhammad Ali were the only

2148
01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 1: two guys who I think could go anywhere without a passport.

2149
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 1: Maybe Jacko was third. Yeah, but if the Pope took

2150
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:12,800
Speaker 1: off the hat and put on like a ball cap,

2151
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:16,400
Speaker 1: like he went undercover. Yeah, I sometimes wonder if you

2152
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:17,880
Speaker 1: ever did that, did not go for pizza, had a

2153
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:20,599
Speaker 1: cigarette something like that, because he would have he I mean,

2154
01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:22,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I wouldn't recognize him unless he

2155
01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:25,240
Speaker 1: was wearing this whole paper out John Paul the Second,

2156
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:29,360
Speaker 1: You wouldn't you know, No, would you know? Yeah? I

2157
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:30,840
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think that that was one of

2158
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:32,760
Speaker 1: your picks actually, because I was like, I don't I

2159
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:34,800
Speaker 1: can't think of that face. Oh yeah, Pope John Paul

2160
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:36,639
Speaker 1: could walk anywhere that I can see his face now,

2161
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 1: but I don't know that I would recognize that. Well,

2162
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:41,599
Speaker 1: in the era when he was when he was the pope,

2163
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 1: like that guy didn't need not need to pass. But

2164
01:43:43,479 --> 01:43:45,000
Speaker 1: the only other guy was Ali. I think I'll use

2165
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:46,720
Speaker 1: the most famous person ever walked the earth. Do you

2166
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:48,960
Speaker 1: think so? I think even with the little kids nowadays,

2167
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:52,000
Speaker 1: Oh that's you. You may now know that you're right. Yeah,

2168
01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:54,960
Speaker 1: this was good, guys. This is fun. It wasn't this easy, Ben,

2169
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:57,680
Speaker 1: It's fun. Man. Your thanks for having me, Man, thanks

01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 1: this sin anyway. This is a true story. This actually

2178
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:22,599
Speaker 1: happened a couple of weeks ago and I was in Tampa. Um.

2179
01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 1: I went back to my hotel and after my show,

2180
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:29,040
Speaker 1: don't judge me on this, Courtney, I M, she's looking

2181
01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:30,519
Speaker 1: at you though. I went back to my room and

2182
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:31,680
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna jerk off

2183
01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:34,760
Speaker 1: and go to sleep. Now, guys don't jerk off because

2184
01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:36,519
Speaker 1: we're horny. We jerke off because it's the best way

2185
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 1: to get sleep. It's better than ambient and all that

2186
01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:40,840
Speaker 1: other stuff. It's like, real simple, knock it out and

2187
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 1: go to bed. Probably health, there's a lot. Health's the

2188
01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:49,200
Speaker 1: real reason for my fifty. But I'm not horny. So

2189
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 1: I get on porn Hub and I'm looking, and I'm looking.

2190
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not horny, so I'm not getting motivated.

2191
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm on forty five minutes in looking and I'm on

2192

Speaker 1: page j D seven. Well you your bar is your

2193
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:03,080
Speaker 1: bar is too high, right if you need forty five minutes. Well, now,

2194
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:05,759
Speaker 1: I'm just looking for something that's gonna stimulate, that looks interesting,

2195
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, I'm like, okay, finally

2196
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:11,280
Speaker 1: I settle in on this one thing. It's a woman

2197
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 1: solo masturbation scene. She's amateur. I'm like, I'm solo, your solo.

2198
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 1: Let's do this right, right? Yeah? I like fairness, that's

2199
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 1: it's important, iportant. You got you gotta change your habits, right,

2200
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:25,760
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, I put it on the

Speaker 1: volumes on ends. When my A D D kicks in

2202
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:31,639
Speaker 1: because it's amateur. She doesn't have like porn of music.

2203
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:34,479
Speaker 1: She has real music playing in the background. Hilarious. So

2204
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:36,720
Speaker 1: I hear the song playing in the back, go what

2205
01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:41,599
Speaker 1: is that song? What is that? And then the girl

01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:44,160
Speaker 1: starts singing and I go, oh, ship's got a great
