Speaker 3: have a mind, you have the ability to change things.
Speaker 3: You have ability to move yourself forward, you have ability
Speaker 3: to be in or out, you know. And and I
Speaker 3: spent a lot of time by myself.
Speaker 4: I was an only child.
Speaker 3: Even today, I don't talk to my family. I don't,
Speaker 3: I don't, you know, they weren't very nice to me.
Speaker 3: And I would watch TV and I would you know,
Speaker 3: I watched Red Fox Tonight's show in seventy three. Freddy
Speaker 3: Prince became like a huge influence to me. Pastor committed
Speaker 3: suicide at seventy seven. And then in two thousand and six,
Speaker 3: before I went into the Walk of Fame, I said,
Speaker 3: you know, if Freddy Prince doesn't go in, I'm not
Speaker 3: going in, you know. So they got him in there
Speaker 3: and his family was there. And when I was a
Speaker 3: kid watching Chico on the Man on Friday after Sanford
Speaker 3: and Son at eight thirty, My time spot October eighteenth
Speaker 3: is the same time spot that Chico on the Man
Speaker 3: had in nineteen seventy four and now I have it
Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4: I like it. I like it.
Speaker 5: You got I mean, so you you just got to
Speaker 5: know Freddy I mean on the TV, but you guys,
Speaker 5: you guys, you got to know him personally.
Speaker 3: Imagine the sun, No, the sun, there's a whole Listen.
Speaker 4: Man, I'm a strange cat man.
Speaker 3: I would go to Forrest Lawn and I would just
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would pray or I would
Speaker 3: just wish I was in high school that things would.
Speaker 4: Go my way.
Speaker 3: You know, you don't really know. I mean, I wasn't
Speaker 3: the smartest, you know kid, and.
Speaker 4: I ended up. I ended up, you know, Latinos, if
Speaker 4: anything's loose, you know, it was already loose.
Speaker 3: I stole his headstone. I stole Freddy Prince headstone in
Speaker 3: like nineteen seventy eighth. It was already loose.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, so.
Speaker 3: I used it as incentive to to to think that
Speaker 3: I could become a comedian, that I could be successful.
Speaker 3: And the day that I got him the star in
Speaker 3: the Walk of Fame, I think I closed that circle
Speaker 3: of of of fellay. Theft from a cemetery, and.
Speaker 2: But I mean I thought, you were being figuredive.
Speaker 5: You literally took the damn You took the actual headstone.
Speaker 2: Where the hell did you put it? Where is it?
Speaker 2: You still have it?
Speaker 4: I still have it? Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3: And the craziest probably one with my grandmother to thrifty
Speaker 3: mark and you have all the tabloids, you know, at
Speaker 3: the checkout stand and there was a glow and there
Speaker 3: was Freddy Prince's mom and it said grave robbers are
Speaker 3: trying to steal my son.
Speaker 1: That was me, Oh shit, So you being making headlines forever?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean, you know when when you
Speaker 3: when you feel hopeless, man, I mean, how hopeless you
Speaker 3: have to be that you stole a headstone in order
Speaker 3: to motivate you.
Speaker 5: Wait, whatever it takes, whatever it takes, I mean, but
Speaker 5: when you took I mean, did I hear you right?
Speaker 2: You said you still have the damn thing.
Speaker 3: I still have the same thing, but I still have it.
Speaker 3: But me going in before Freddy Prince had forgotten about him,
Speaker 3: but putting him in the walk of family, then me
Speaker 3: going in was my way of saying, you know, sorry,
Speaker 3: I took the headstone, but you know I can tell
Speaker 3: I needed it more than it needed to be on
Speaker 3: that in that vault.
Speaker 5: So man, he was so he was I mean, is
Speaker 5: that in della? I mean so that if you look back,
Speaker 5: I mean there was no sort of more. I mean now,
Speaker 5: he was it.
Speaker 2: He was the guy.
Speaker 7: He was.
Speaker 5: He was for you, this sort of manifestation you talk
Speaker 5: about manifesting it and.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, I would be drinking with my
Speaker 3: friends in high school, man, and you know at some point,
Speaker 3: you know, uh, whenever when the first Latino says I'm
Speaker 3: not afraid to die. You know, everybody's had too much,
Speaker 3: you know, And I always got like, hey, you know what, man,
Speaker 3: I'm not afraid to die, Like all right, but I
Speaker 3: would I would, I would get I would get sad
Speaker 3: and I would cry about Freddie Prince because I was like,
Speaker 3: I was seventeen eighteen and I would be crying and
Speaker 3: my friends would be.
Speaker 4: Like, what the fuck is this dude's thing?
Speaker 3: Man, Like like, hey, man, I'm not sure if that's
Speaker 3: like healthy or what you got going on? But I mean, you, dude,
Speaker 3: you you gotta get you didn't even know him, right,
Speaker 3: I said, no, I mean it was it was. It
Speaker 3: was pretty bad. I still love him, but I don't
Speaker 3: think I I don't think I'd do that anymore. But
Speaker 3: I appreciate what he gave me and what he gave me, uh,
Speaker 3: and what I needed to get to a level where,
Speaker 3: you know, when nobody believes in you, you find you
Speaker 3: find solace in a in a in a cemetery of Marker. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So George, in high school, were you doing you know,
Speaker 6: comedy classes? Were you doing acting? What were you doing
Speaker 6: in high school?
Speaker 4: You know, I played baseball, you know at San Fernando High.
Speaker 3: You know the Charles White, all the Williams brothers, Manford Moore.
Speaker 3: So so USC had the pipeline to uh, San Fernando, Hia.
Speaker 4: A lot of guys came out of there.
Speaker 3: So uh there was this captain kangaroo looking teacher that
Speaker 3: was the drama teacher at San Fernando High, mister Schaeffer,
Speaker 3: and Uh I had seen that he was a comedian
Speaker 3: and he had performed at Coconut Grove in the Ambassador
Speaker 3: where Robert Kennedy had gotten shot there.
Speaker 4: So I went to him.
Speaker 3: I went into the side door, and you know, he
Speaker 3: was teaching a class. So I'm there, you see my silhouette.
Speaker 3: He's like, can I help you? I said no, no,
Speaker 3: I'll come back, and he's like, what what what can
Speaker 3: I do for you? I said, uh, you know, I
Speaker 3: heard that you were a comedian. You know, I want
Speaker 3: to be a comedian. And this this, this guy says
Speaker 3: to me, So do you think that it's it's it's
Speaker 3: uh that I take time away from my class to
Speaker 3: teach you about stand up?
Speaker 4: Stand up?
Speaker 3: You can't teach stand if you have to do it.
Speaker 3: You know, you think that I should take time away
Speaker 3: from this class in order to test said no, no,
Speaker 3: I said no, I'm sorry. I even came in here,
Speaker 3: you know. And this guy man just like man, tore
Speaker 3: into me, you know, and and uh.
Speaker 7: What a fucking dream killer?
Speaker 3: George jeeseus before my book while Your Crime was on
Speaker 3: the best seller list, and I put him in there
Speaker 3: and I told him to go fuck himself.
Speaker 4: In my book.
Speaker 7: Well, let's say his name again. What's his name?
Speaker 4: His name and mister Shaffer, he was.
Speaker 7: A nay, mister Shaffer, go fuss.
Speaker 1: Everybody had a teacher name mister Seffer.
Speaker 3: I would only say for somebody to go fuck themselves.
Speaker 3: And that's like, that's that's my line right there. You
Speaker 3: know a lot of people don't believe. And that's fine,
Speaker 3: who's to say. But when it does happen, people go silent.
Speaker 3: You know, nobody, you know, more people call me if
Speaker 3: things go bad than when things go good. And culturally
Speaker 3: that's a terrible thing to be around.
Speaker 2: But George, I wonder.
Speaker 5: I mean, in hindsight, I imagine it had to be a
Speaker 5: hell of a motivator at the same time, right them wrong,
Speaker 5: Get him in a goddamn book, keep going the grit,
Speaker 5: have him in the back of your mind all your life.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you know.
Speaker 3: You know, when I was doing my first show, the
Speaker 3: woman who played my mom came into into my dress
Speaker 3: room one time and she's like, uh, can I a
Speaker 3: see a quick because you know it's can mean nobody
Speaker 3: ever heard of me really, And she goes, uh, what
Speaker 3: what motivates you? You know what, what what motivates you?
Speaker 3: And I said spikee And she's like, you know, that's
Speaker 3: not really healthy. And I said, hey, it got us,
Speaker 3: it got us here, and she's like, yeah, So I
Speaker 3: think I don't know a spite so much anymore. But
Speaker 3: in the beginning, I felt like everybody was against me,
Speaker 3: and that's the way I had to feel in order
Speaker 3: to succeed. If I felt well, I just had you
Speaker 3: just have.
Speaker 4: To feel like you have Well, I didn't have any
Speaker 4: other options.
Speaker 3: But I don't know why I made myself feel like
Speaker 3: I had any but I may I made I put
Speaker 3: myself in an adversarial position in order to dig myself
Speaker 3: out of that.
Speaker 2: How the hell do you?
Speaker 5: Was there anything or anybody after that experience that motivated
Speaker 5: you or got you back on.
Speaker 2: I gave you that sense of confidence.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: My baseball coach, when I was getting ready to graduate,
Speaker 3: we had done a car wash in order to raise
Speaker 3: money to get equipment, you know, and I hadn't sold.
Speaker 4: I was never I was. I was shy.
Speaker 3: I wasn't a guy to go knocking asking people if
Speaker 3: they could buy car wash tickets. So when I gave
Speaker 3: him the tickets back, he said, you owe me two
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 4: I said for what?
Speaker 3: For the tickets you didn't sell? I said, I didn't
Speaker 3: sell any Yeah, but you took them. You're liable for
Speaker 3: the two fifty. I said, I'm not giving you any money,
Speaker 3: you know. And he and I when nose to nose,
Speaker 3: I was like seventeen, and he told me, you know,
Speaker 3: you're a quitter and when times get tough, you quit.
Speaker 3: And I'd like to see where you are in ten years.
Speaker 4: I just see where you are.
Speaker 3: In fifteen years. Because when shake is tough, you pack
Speaker 3: it in. You pack it in because it's too tough
Speaker 3: for you. And when the shiit is tough, you quit.
Speaker 3: And I was like, is that right? And we're like this,
Speaker 3: and I remember I turned around and my friends were like,
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it. A teacher and a student going
Speaker 3: nose to nose. And you know, when I started playing
Speaker 3: golf in nineteen eighty one, and golf is hard to play,
Speaker 3: I would pick my ball up and.
Speaker 4: I would tell this guy, say, man, I'm leaving. Where
Speaker 4: you going? I'm going?
Speaker 3: You know, I forgot I had to go do something.
Speaker 3: But I was quitting because it was tough. And then
Speaker 3: one day in the car, like in those movies, his
Speaker 3: head showed up like in the movies, and I pulled
Speaker 3: over to the side of the road and I said, shit,
Speaker 3: this guy was right. And I went back to the
Speaker 3: high school. He was still coaching, and I went and
Speaker 3: apologized to him, maybe the only person I'd ever apologized
Speaker 3: to in my life, because we would just pretend people
Speaker 3: didn't exist if you didn't agree with him. And and
Speaker 3: I went back there and he said, what do you
Speaker 3: What are you doing there? I said, hey, man, I
Speaker 3: came to apologize to you for the way that I
Speaker 3: treated you when I was here. And then I went
Speaker 3: over the stuff and he shook my hand and he said,
Speaker 3: you know, that might be hope for you, but in
Speaker 3: all honesty, I don't think. I don't think I could
Speaker 3: have gone forward if I knew that that guy was
Speaker 3: right and I didn't go over there and apologize.
Speaker 1: To him that I love that dude.
Speaker 3: That was never a guy that would be by the
Speaker 3: you know, that's hey, that's a you know, that's the
Speaker 3: main thing to do. I was always looking to not
Speaker 3: be responsible.
Speaker 5: When did when did you start realizing you had the
Speaker 5: chops for comedy? Where you were like, man, this I
Speaker 5: mean were you? I mean, if you weren't up on stage,
Speaker 5: you were just John with your friends and full shitting
Speaker 5: and just trying to you know what we were you
Speaker 5: that class clown.
Speaker 4: Guy or what was on the way to school?
Speaker 3: You know, uh, you know a guy would be how
Speaker 3: many get out of my gout it? So as soon
Speaker 3: as that guy was done talking, I would say to
Speaker 3: my friends, how about to get out. I could do
Speaker 3: the voices of everybody that that was in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Get out of here, stop, you know. And uh so
Speaker 3: those guys were they were tripping, man like, they were like, man, trust.
Speaker 4: Could do anybody's voice. Man he o. Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 4: It was fun.
Speaker 3: And you know, those and those guys like, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm still friends with a lot of a lot.
Speaker 4: Of the guys, you know, and uh.
Speaker 3: You know, to look back, you know, to look back
Speaker 3: and see that everything that I've wanted to do I've
Speaker 3: done is pretty wild, especially because you know, I was
Speaker 3: never a student that I mean, I knew when I
Speaker 3: was eleven I wasn't going to college. But it doesn't
Speaker 3: mean that I was worthless, you know. I just made
Speaker 3: my work somewhere else.
Speaker 5: What was there a point when, I mean it was
Speaker 5: obviously the high school years, but in early years in
Speaker 5: twenties or something where you're like, man, now I've made it,
Speaker 5: or at least I know I'm on a path. Man,
Speaker 5: I'm on the other side of any doubt. I'm on
Speaker 5: the other side of that asshole that was telling me
Speaker 5: I'm never going to mount the shit.
Speaker 3: You know, I was working. You know, I live with
Speaker 3: my grandmother. You know my grandmother. I tell everybody for
Speaker 3: Latinos I moved out of I was thirty three when
Speaker 3: I moved out. You know, just a boy. You know,
Speaker 3: nobody ever wants to nobody ever wants to leave. You know,
Speaker 3: when I was a teenager, my grandfather said to me,
Speaker 3: I'm going to charge you fifty dollars a month rent
Speaker 3: so that you understand what it's like to pay rent
Speaker 3: and what it's like to have obligations. And when he
Speaker 3: died in eighty eight, I owed him twenty eight dollars
Speaker 3: in rent.
Speaker 6: Hey, George, I think one of the coolest moments here
Speaker 6: with Marshawn is I remember, you know, he's playing the
Speaker 6: Raiders and I get connected with you through our mutual
Speaker 6: friend and great friend Pat Montann from Train and you
Speaker 6: come to the game and then we meet. You see
Speaker 6: Marshawn before the game, meeting for the first time. And
Speaker 6: then you know, after the game, we go to a
Speaker 6: store in Oakland. Just a epic, epic day. But then
Speaker 6: even fast forward about eight ten years later, he's in
Speaker 6: your show, correct and Marshawn take me through that because
Speaker 6: I know that George has always been an idol to
Speaker 6: you in terms of everything, and your mom. Take me
Speaker 6: through that day when you met him, Marshawn, as well
Speaker 6: as the day you came on set.
Speaker 8: Man, it's all a funny because we was talking about
Speaker 8: that one to the to do the show, and my
Speaker 8: mama was all, that's George, George, and George was you
Speaker 8: know what I mean, really really fucking nice to my mom.
Speaker 8: And I'm like, George, you know what back in Yeah, No.
Speaker 4: I told her mom.
Speaker 1: I told you my mama hot and ship man.
Speaker 3: I said, Mama, you want some champagne marshall and said,
Speaker 3: you trying to.
Speaker 1: Get my mama trying to get my mama drunk? What
Speaker 1: the fuck going on?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 4: What the fuck?
Speaker 8: And you know, my mama is a motherfucking comedy junkie.
Speaker 8: And I swear that she just like, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean, if anybody know my mom or whatever met
Speaker 8: my mom, she just got that that that motherly figure.
Speaker 8: And it got to a point where my mom calls, oh,
Speaker 8: George intown, I'm just gonna call your like, Mama, don't
Speaker 8: call that.
Speaker 1: No, No, he said, it's cool.
Speaker 7: I could call him.
Speaker 8: So every time she go and pop out at a show,
Speaker 8: you know. I mean, they make sure to send me
Speaker 8: a picture or FaceTime me hey. And I know for
Speaker 8: a fact though my mom in good hands. Whenever she's
Speaker 8: around George always make her feel comfortable.
Speaker 1: And I I mean, I know, ad.
Speaker 4: Vice, but yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3: But Marshaan doing our show is you know, you know,
Speaker 3: when you're when you're on TV, man, like you're always
Speaker 3: looking for advantages. And I mean, to have Marshan do
Speaker 3: that show about the Raiders and about my love of
Speaker 3: the Raiders, and it's just man, I mean, it just
Speaker 3: gives us so much credibility. Like already we became the
Speaker 3: show that people already start to guest star, you know,
Speaker 3: want a guest star on, and you know, Marshaan's and
Speaker 3: in addition to some great, great people that have been
Speaker 3: friends of mine. And when you call them, I mean,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have asked, you know, but they were like,
Speaker 3: I think we would do a show about the Raiders,
Speaker 3: you think, And I said, ask Marshan, And I mean
Speaker 3: the fact that you know, somebody like him would come
Speaker 3: and be there and it was just I mean, and
Speaker 3: he was great. It was great, not I mean, and
Speaker 3: you know that that was that was for sure. That
Speaker 3: was a fucking highlight for me.
Speaker 8: But I think my biggest highlight, which you have, being
Speaker 8: when uh wheel was on the fucking sideline and.
Speaker 1: He like, man, let me let me try that helmet on.
Speaker 8: You put the helmet on with the visor. I'm like,
Speaker 8: oh yeah, man, that ship was that ship was big.
Speaker 8: I don't know, I got the picture somewhere.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Marshall, what is this during one of one of
Speaker 5: your games, you just go to the sideline.
Speaker 1: On the sideline of the game. I told him, hit
Speaker 1: go in there and get a couple of plays.
Speaker 3: See what you got?
Speaker 4: See what you got? Man?
Speaker 6: Well, remember we all had we all had the We
Speaker 6: all spent in New Mexico, Mexico City together and Anthony,
Speaker 6: your buddy Anthony Anderson, was a couple of weeks ago, so
Speaker 6: we talked about that as well. But me, you Gavin
Speaker 6: watching more Shawn in Mexico City was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Marshawn almost crashed out, but he came over to hello
Speaker 3: to me and he hit some some some uh palettes
Speaker 3: that had AstroTurf on.
Speaker 1: Remember that, Marshall, Oh yeah, I almost bust my an.
Speaker 5: He couldn't, George, he couldn't handle the elevation and in
Speaker 5: Mexico City, he was complaining the night before that he
Speaker 5: couldn't even get up the stairs because he was.
Speaker 7: Let me ask you a question, George.
Speaker 6: I know it's well documented, but in June, you had
Speaker 6: that show with the Casino, and it's interesting now everything's
Speaker 6: changed now with with society and and disrespecting people, being
Speaker 6: nuts and whatnot. So take me through when you're on
Speaker 6: stage and when when you had a heckler at the
Speaker 6: casino at your show starts yelling at you and saying
Speaker 6: dumb stuff and you walked off.
Speaker 7: Correct, it was more.
Speaker 4: Than just one. And you know, I tried to get
Speaker 4: him to be calm.
Speaker 3: You know, if I can't talk and nobody's listening, and
Speaker 3: then you know, there's no reason to be there. So
Speaker 3: so I must have said three times, hey, you guys,
Speaker 3: you know, you guys need to, you know, get it
Speaker 3: together here.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't go forward, man, you know. And then I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm sure they were happy to see me. I was
Speaker 3: happy to be there, but it just got to be
Speaker 3: uh where they just wouldn't be quiet. There wasn't any
Speaker 3: sense in talking. It just would get just get out
Speaker 3: of control. And I was like, you know, if they're
Speaker 3: not going to respect what I do, then I'm I'm
Speaker 3: gonna cut out.
Speaker 6: Did this happened though, five ten years ago as well
Speaker 6: with Eddie Murphy and you and other comedian Did this
Speaker 6: happen back in the day or is it more recently
Speaker 6: now where these guys think they can come in and
Speaker 6: pay the ticket and yell at people.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm not sure if that's the case,
Speaker 3: but you know a lot of comedians now, younger guys,
Speaker 3: they make their like bones by talking to the audience,
Speaker 3: like I don't you know, I never really kind of did,
Speaker 3: but a lot of guys like that guy Matt Rife
Speaker 3: and those guys like those guys, that's their whole act
Speaker 3: is talking to the audience. And when the audience thinks
Speaker 3: that they're part of the show, then they want to
Speaker 3: yell out. And you know, I think people were over
Speaker 3: served and and all of that. But you know, I'm
Speaker 3: as much to blame as as they are, but I
Speaker 3: just didn't see it a way forward. So you'll take
Speaker 3: the responsibility. But also, you should never be where you're
Speaker 3: not respected, no matter where it is.
Speaker 5: George, is that I mean, you know, with dougs. I
Speaker 5: guess implying to is I mean, you see a coarseness
Speaker 5: that's developed over the years. I mean just we see
Speaker 5: society obviously, but you see it inside when you're I
Speaker 5: mean in the rooms, when you're doing your craft.
Speaker 3: You know what, I would hate to think that, you know,
Speaker 3: I mean, you grow up that way, but I would
Speaker 3: hate to think that this is what's in people's hearts.
Speaker 3: You know, I think X and Instagram. It's a lot
Speaker 3: of negativity, you know, just I mean, if you don't
Speaker 3: agree politically, or you don't agree with labor, or you
Speaker 3: don't agree with whatever, you know, fine, but you know
Speaker 3: you go, you fucking go back to Mexico, you fucking
Speaker 3: wet back. You're just like, man, this is just like
Speaker 3: really like is that is that? Where is that? Where
Speaker 3: people are?
Speaker 4: Man? It's just like wow, man, I mean.

Speaker 6: I appreciate.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 6: You've been that way the whole time, and I love
Speaker 6: that about you. And you're not afraid to do that unapologetically.
Speaker 6: And even I remember when Gavin got elected governor, you
Speaker 6: call him and say, hey, what's about what about this?
Speaker 7: What about this? What can we do better?
Speaker 6: And I appreciate that mindset you have because most people
Speaker 6: don't have that. But you're you're unapologetically honest at all times,
Speaker 6: which I love.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I I uh, I don't know if
Speaker 3: I was always that way, you know. In two thousand
Speaker 3: and seven, on Father's Day I played. It tells you
Speaker 3: what kind of fathers we both were. I played with
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Bedminster at his course, and he came
Speaker 3: in on a helicopter. You know, I said, hey, you
Speaker 3: need a right out there, came in a helicopter and
Speaker 3: uh uh after we went.
Speaker 4: To go eat.
Speaker 3: Of course, he orders without us, you know, he just
Speaker 3: he just he just orders without us even looking at
Speaker 3: the menu. Uh. And he's he's got this long brought
Speaker 3: worst with like a pound of he's put just like
Speaker 3: putting on this muscle busy at his country club and Bedminster, right,
Speaker 3: So so all of a sudden, the kitchen doors open
Speaker 3: and these Latinos come in with like a board of
Speaker 3: like steak and shrimp, and come all the people, the
Speaker 3: gayo tortillas and and Trump is like what what what's
Speaker 3: all this? And the guys like, uh, senor Trump, you know,
Speaker 3: George Lopez, and he's like wait, wait, wait a minute.
Speaker 3: So when Trump is here, Trump doesn't get this, but
Speaker 3: when George Lope is here, George Lopez gets all this.
Speaker 3: The guy's like, let's say you're a Trump George Lopez.
Speaker 3: He goes bye bye. I just want to understand. So
Speaker 3: I got a broad worst and then George Lopez, the
Speaker 3: guys like it's spacially pink Trump. George Lopez. You know,

Speaker 3: I was on the eighteenth hole. He and I were
Speaker 3: playing these other two guys and I'm in the sand
Speaker 3: trap and I was getting ready to hit. He throws
Speaker 3: a t in the sand trap. He goes, tee it up.
Speaker 3: They're not looking. I'm like, yeah, I think so tear
Speaker 3: it up. I mean, I've had my things with you know,
Speaker 3: and more so, you know, like.
Speaker 4: When I believe that I have to be the person.
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of there are a lot of
Speaker 3: Latinos that went silent during the Trump things, you know,
Speaker 3: but I didn't, and I think it cost me a
Speaker 3: significant amount of audience. But there was no way, almost
Speaker 3: like going back to high school, There's no way that
Speaker 3: I was gonna let this this guy say those things
Speaker 3: about us culturally and not and not be able to
Speaker 3: say something, you know, I said you know, if they're
Speaker 3: going to build a wall, they better build it in
Speaker 3: a day, because if they leave the material out overnight,
Speaker 3: that should'll be gone.
Speaker 4: I mean I.
Speaker 3: Said, well, I mean, I said, well, take your beer
Speaker 3: if you put it down. Hey, the Secret Service came
Speaker 3: to my he came to this house. The Secret Service
Speaker 3: said to me. They said they had. First of all,
Speaker 3: they have I mean, you know, Gavin, they have everything
Speaker 3: you've ever put on social media at their disposal. So
Speaker 3: before we get into it, they said, do you remember
Speaker 3: retweeting a picture of El Choppo holding the head of
Speaker 3: Donald Trump? And you know, you know, I'm trying to
Speaker 3: be all like Ben had my attorney right there, trying
Speaker 3: to be all stupid.
Speaker 4: I'm like el Shop Shop.
Speaker 3: I'm like, and see one of the Fantastic Four. They
Speaker 3: go like, no, no, no, open the briefcase. They show
Speaker 3: it to me. I'm like, oh, oh, all right, and
Speaker 3: then the guys, the Secret Service agent says to me,
Speaker 3: do you think that this is funny?
Speaker 4: And my attorney's like, don't answer that.
Speaker 3: And I was like, uh, I got to tell you.
Speaker 3: When I did it, I thought it was funny, But
Speaker 3: right now I don't.
Speaker 4: See any humor in it.
Speaker 3: When I retweeted it, I thought it was right now.
Speaker 5: Nothing, by the way, what what what did they follow
Speaker 5: up with you?
Speaker 4: That was it?
Speaker 5: I mean, that would scare the hell out anyone, right, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, they came, they said, they said, they they said
Speaker 3: they came to to see whether I was a threat
Speaker 3: to the president. And and uh, you know what got
Speaker 3: me in trouble was that Iran had offered a eighty
Speaker 3: i'll say alleged eighty million dollar bounty for Trump. And
Speaker 3: on Instagram, I put in there, we'll do it for half.
Speaker 3: I started this whole thing. And then and then the
Speaker 3: the they consider that a threat against a thing. So
Speaker 3: I told the Secret Service agent, I said, I said, listen,
Speaker 3: man if and the lawyers like, don't answer that. I said, hey, wait,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, I said, I said, I said, what
Speaker 3: you take as a threat to me in my culture,
Speaker 3: it's more of an estimate.
Speaker 4: I said. If you can find somebody to do it cheaper,
Speaker 4: hire them.
Speaker 3: That's just that's just my They didn't think that should
Speaker 3: be funny at all.
Speaker 6: Georgia, are you still as vocal now as we get
Speaker 6: into November now as you were?
Speaker 4: No? I don't think I am.
Speaker 3: I think you know, I think that if it's required,
Speaker 3: I will I will be But I think that I
Speaker 3: don't think it's it's required as much, you know, And
Speaker 3: you know, I'm a comedian, you know, I'm not malicious.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just you know, that's just what we do.
Speaker 3: You know, it's just what what it is, you know, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean it's I mean, it's I mean just on
Speaker 5: that that that severed head stuff Kathy Griffin. I mean,
Speaker 5: she paid a huge price for that as well. So
Speaker 5: I mean this stuff serious. I mean in the context obviously,
Speaker 5: you know, I mean we could talk about this, you know,
Speaker 5: spare me this stuff that Donald Trump retweets, so we
Speaker 5: can get into that.
Speaker 2: That's a whole nother suit.
Speaker 3: Then we also also it's crazy, man, because the Secret Service,
Speaker 3: they said, maybe you'd like to take a look at
Speaker 3: this paper, you know, you bring out this paper, am
Speaker 3: I attorney looks at it. He goes, what are I
Speaker 3: signing this? And I go what is it? And he goes,
Speaker 3: it's the It's it's them allowing the government to access
Speaker 3: all of your medical history and all your family's medical history.
Speaker 3: And I said, I thought, you guys do that already,
Speaker 3: And they were like no, no. And then I told
Speaker 3: the Secret SERVI I said, does anybody ever sign that?
Speaker 3: And he goes, no, By the way, did did George?
Speaker 2: I'm surprised. I mean, knowing Donald Trump, did he reach.
Speaker 5: Out when he first came down that escalator just to
Speaker 5: check in with you and say, come on, George, you're
Speaker 5: a buddy of mine.
Speaker 2: We're golfing pals.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, never did no.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't begrudge anybody anybody's political anybody's political view,
Speaker 3: you know, but when it gets to the point where
Speaker 3: it's like that, like with death I mean, listen, I
Speaker 3: mean I.
Speaker 4: Got death threats, you know the guy. You know the guy.
Speaker 3: There was a guy named Caesar Sayaki and he was
Speaker 3: living in his van. He was like a kind of
Speaker 3: former bodybuilding. He was living in his van in Florida
Speaker 3: and he was making pipe bombs and he had a
Speaker 3: list of one hundred people that he wanted to blow up.
Speaker 4: And I was on the list, you know.
Speaker 3: And D. L. Hugley said, am I on the list?
Speaker 3: I said, did the FBI contact you? He's like, uh no.
Speaker 3: I said, well then you're probably not on the list.
Speaker 3: And he's like, well, why are you on the list?
Speaker 3: And why am I'm not on the list? I said, dude,
Speaker 3: I mean, are we really arguing about who's gonna who
Speaker 3: should get blown up? And you're not on the list?
Speaker 7: Shot?
Speaker 4: How you know?
Speaker 3: He's like what he goes, how do you is there?
Speaker 3: Do you have the list? I said, I don't have
Speaker 3: the list. They just told me I was on the list.
Speaker 3: So the FBI, the UH Higher Patrol, l APD, sheriffs,
Speaker 3: UH park Rangers, everybody gets on a on a on
Speaker 3: a conference call and they go George. I said, yes,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm in New Mexico, George. We're here from
Speaker 3: all of these law enforcement agencies. And they said, you know, uh,
Speaker 3: what we would advise you to do is to not
Speaker 3: open any suspicious packages that might be delivered to your home.
Speaker 3: And I said, okay, and then what else? And they're
Speaker 3: all gone, like they all hung up. Don't open any package?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: So you know, so I said, you know, uh, as Mexicans,
Speaker 3: you know a lot of times people deliver things in foil,
Speaker 3: you know, or an old I can't believe it's not
Speaker 3: butter container that has food in it. I'm like, hey,
Speaker 3: am I SuPAR to throw that shit away like it
Speaker 3: might be some there might be some bomb ass my lizard, could.
Speaker 4: Be some el I'll take my shot, you know.
Speaker 3: But but most of the ship that gets delivered to
Speaker 3: my house is a fucking suspicious package.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I can start.
Speaker 3: I can't start throwing shit away.
Speaker 4: People work hard, man.
Speaker 2: It's gotten serious though.
Speaker 5: I mean with with Trump, that assassination attempt.
Speaker 2: I mean, and trust me.
Speaker 5: On the receiving end of similar to those death threats,
Speaker 5: so I mean it just as well. But it does
Speaker 5: go to the coarseness of this. And I mean, I
Speaker 5: thought it couldn't get worse than going down to damn
Speaker 5: escalator and talking about rapists and you.
Speaker 2: Know the rest.
Speaker 5: And then I mean, and I thought, okay, this is
Speaker 5: the end. Just I remember that early on George, remember
Speaker 5: the tweet with the taco bell right just the sinko
Speaker 5: to happy Sinko to Mile, which was benign, but just
Speaker 5: goes to the just the character, just to who the
Speaker 5: hell this guy is.
Speaker 4: I try to.
Speaker 3: Watch as much of him when he's speaking, because I
Speaker 3: don't think we'll ever see anybody like him again. I
Speaker 3: think when he's gone, there's nobody behind him that will
Speaker 3: be at that level that has no clue as to
Speaker 3: protocol and no clue as to what's right and wrong.
Speaker 3: Like I'll get someone just believed everything they're saying is true.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, yeah, so just I mean it
Speaker 5: goes back to Doug's point. I mean, you've been on
Speaker 5: the front lines of political commentary, social commentary. I mean
Speaker 5: you've been a cultural icon. I mean did that all
Speaker 5: just come naturally or has that just lived experience? Is
Speaker 5: that a great comedy? Is that just being fully expressive,
Speaker 5: being authentic self and just talking about the world you're
Speaker 5: living in and expressing it just out loud.
Speaker 3: I think that I think part of that came from
Speaker 3: the from being a comedian. You do you open as
Speaker 3: you live, you know, you open your eyes, you know. Like,
Speaker 3: but I think seeing people that worked hard and them
Speaker 3: get disrespected by people just because of the way that
Speaker 3: they looked or the way that they dressed or what
Speaker 3: they did for a living was what got me kind
Speaker 3: of got me kind of going.
Speaker 4: You know. But you know, in stand up now.
Speaker 3: Like Jeff Bezos has an eighty million dollar playing Jeff
Speaker 3: Bezos is the richest one of the maybe the richest
Speaker 3: man in the world. He's engaged to a Latina who's
Speaker 3: been married like twice with three step kids. And I mean, Jeff,
Speaker 3: you can find anything on Amazon. You probably can find
Speaker 3: a Latina with no kids, you know. So, Uh, the
Speaker 3: idea that the idea that the richest man in the
Speaker 3: world would would would.
Speaker 4: Go in there.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's to me, hats off. I mean, the
Speaker 3: last thing any smart Latino wants to be as a
Speaker 3: step fother. So the idea that this guy just says, hey, baby,
Speaker 3: all come on here, all your kids, come on in here.
Speaker 1: Paggett, Paggett, come on.
Speaker 3: I mean you saw the shit you look at Ben Affleck.
Speaker 3: Have you ever never seen one dude more miserable and
Speaker 3: being married? And Jennifer Lopez is posting a tweet, a tweet,
Speaker 3: a selfie with her ass. It's almost like next everybody
Speaker 3: wants anybody wants some there it is now up. Uh,
Speaker 3: you can't survive that. The minute that divorce isn't even final,
Speaker 3: they already taking a picture of the ass, like.
Speaker 7: Next, Hey, George, take me through it.
Speaker 6: It's well documented, but for for the listeners that don't know,
Speaker 6: you know you were you were going through it. Remember
Speaker 6: I remember you talking about uh, you know, just belief
Speaker 6: and whatnot.
Speaker 7: And and Sandra Bullock had it.
Speaker 6: You had a kind of an infamous meeting with Sandra
Speaker 6: Bullock who believed in you to a point where it
Speaker 6: left you emotional correct and and and and that started?
Speaker 6: Did that start the Lopez Lopez show? Or what take
Speaker 6: me through? That meeting now with her? And and how
Speaker 6: that came to be?
Speaker 3: It started my.
Speaker 4: First show in and uh, I was about as far out.
Speaker 4: Let me.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, man, I was at the comedy club.
Speaker 3: I was drinking in the nineties, mid mid late nineties.
Speaker 3: I was drinking a lot, terrible act And I remember
Speaker 3: I was in in Austin and Sandra Buick lived in
Speaker 3: Austin and Chappelle had been there the week before. And
Speaker 3: the manager of the club comes to me and says,
Speaker 3: I think Sandra Book's gonna come in. She called, She's
Speaker 3: going to come in, And I was like drinking. I
Speaker 3: was like, man, I don't want her to see me
Speaker 3: like this. You know, I didn't even know her. And
Speaker 3: I got on my knees that in that fucking green
Speaker 3: room and I said.
Speaker 4: Please, please don't let her.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know if I was gonna know her
Speaker 3: in another in months or years or whenever. I wished
Speaker 3: her not to come.
Speaker 4: Wow. And then she didn't come.
Speaker 3: And then I think a year and a half later
Speaker 3: that she was looking for comedians and somebody said, he
Speaker 3: you seeing George Lopez and she went to go see me,
Speaker 3: and I already kind of cleaned up a little bit,
Speaker 3: and then she saw me and she's like, come to
Speaker 3: my office and we sat there for like three hours.
Speaker 3: And then you know, that first show that I did
Speaker 3: had never been done successfully on TV.
Speaker 4: We did it.
Speaker 3: And then at the end of the she was leading
Speaker 3: me down these stairs and at the end there I
Speaker 3: told her, Hey, you know, you know what we're gonna
Speaker 3: what you're gonna try to do who has never been
Speaker 3: done successfully? And if I don't ever see you again
Speaker 3: or whatever happens, I just want to say thank you,
Speaker 3: you know, just thanks, you know, thanks for you know,
Speaker 3: for thanks for today, and thanks for And I'd never
Speaker 3: had anybody believe in me, uh, And she was like,
Speaker 3: why don't you worry about being funny and why don't
Speaker 3: you let me worry about everything else?
Speaker 4: And man, I got in my car, Man, I was
Speaker 4: I was in tears.
Speaker 3: Man, I mean, she changed the direction of my life
Speaker 3: and my you know, everybody that's in my family, I
Speaker 3: mean I and.
Speaker 4: For no other purpose other than she just thought I
Speaker 4: was funny.
Speaker 7: And then she became executive Prouser correct on the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she did that, and she did the show,
Speaker 3: and she did the show a few times and was uh,
Speaker 3: you know, very I mean she came to the tapings
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, and I mean, I wouldn't be
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be anybody without without her, without.
Speaker 7: Her, and then the show.
Speaker 6: Now, George, this is this is well, doc, this is
Speaker 6: about your life, right, this is your life. You've written
Speaker 6: it and this is pretty much your life.
Speaker 7: Correct?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this one. Yeah, I was divorced.
Speaker 3: You know, I got divorced with my wife, and I
Speaker 3: didn't speak to mine for I'm not sure if it
Speaker 3: was I think in the show it's ten years, but
Speaker 3: it was it was years. It was years, man, And
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I only have one kid, and
Speaker 3: I you know, I didn't want to become that father
Speaker 3: that didn't spend time with his kids and and whatever
Speaker 3: issues though about you know, my ex wife and I
Speaker 3: had those years that I didn't talk to mine were brutal, man,
Speaker 3: and I was very self destructive and in that time
Speaker 3: and I was still working. You know, I don't think
Speaker 3: anybody really knew the level of self destruction. But the
Speaker 3: fact that you know, Mayan did a TikTok about about
Speaker 3: a guy that was talking about me, you know, cheating
Speaker 3: on her mom, and uh, the producer saw it, and
Speaker 3: that became Lopez. I mean, it's I mean, Gavin, I mean,
Speaker 3: you can't write. I mean, there's no way that this
Speaker 3: in any in the real world doesn't happen.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I I.
Speaker 3: I equated to the beginning of the Beverly Hillbillies when
Speaker 3: he's hungh Team and that he shoots and he hits
Speaker 3: the ground and oil comes up. This is this is
Speaker 3: about as wild as the Beverly Hill Bully shooting and
Speaker 3: that end up in I mean, nobody makes a successful
Speaker 3: NBC a network show from a fucking TikTok.
Speaker 1: Mmmm.
Speaker 8: I had a great conversation with with your daughter when
Speaker 8: we came, uh, when I came to shoot the show,
Speaker 8: and you know, she gave me a little back, a
Speaker 8: little bit of background, just so to see that come
Speaker 8: together and then you know, actually be a part of it,
Speaker 8: like you know, I mean I'm first of all, I'm
Speaker 8: thankful to you know, have being uh being able to
Speaker 8: you know, be a part of it. But to see
Speaker 8: the relationship that you know what I mean, that you
Speaker 8: and uh, you know, your daughter had took the initiative
Speaker 8: to to build like that's a that's a fucking blessing,
Speaker 8: big dog.
Speaker 1: So you I appreciate it.
Speaker 8: I wanted to say, what's up to your baby girl too,
Speaker 8: because you know, I mean, I was not I was
Speaker 8: not expecting that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she loves I mean, you know, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 3: It's so difficult to succeed in TV and then to
Speaker 3: do it twenty two years after my or twenty years
Speaker 3: after my first show, and then to bring your kid
Speaker 3: with you as is amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hell yeah, man, that's a that's a first amazing messing. Man.
Speaker 8: It just what it showed me was like, man, no
Speaker 8: matter how far gone, you know what I mean, the
Speaker 8: trials and tribulations and ship like you know what I mean,
Speaker 8: once you you know what I mean, you take that
Speaker 8: that that pride and that ego and that chip off
Speaker 8: your shoulder and you know, get down to the gritty
Speaker 8: of you know what I mean, what's really important, Like man,
Speaker 8: you can accomplish a lot of ship once you let
Speaker 8: that shit go.
Speaker 1: You know, you just talking about, you know.
Speaker 8: The negative energy and negative intent that a lot of
Speaker 8: people have, like to be able to put that ship
Speaker 8: to the side and be able to accomplish something bigger
Speaker 8: and greater. I mean, it could have been easy for
Speaker 8: both of y'all just to say, hell, no, fuck it,
Speaker 8: I'm not fucking with him, or now I'm not finna
Speaker 8: fuck with it, to be able to put that ship
Speaker 8: aside and then go on to create something A lot.
Speaker 4: Of people do.
Speaker 3: You know when when when I went, you know, there
Speaker 3: was a therapist at the house. It was a Sunday,
Speaker 3: and you know, this was a really nice house. Man.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know the house the TV show Boy,
Speaker 3: you know, right turned.
Speaker 4: To Luca Lakes and I drive up. Man, I'm like,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna miss this fucking house.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, and I.
Speaker 3: Go in there and then Mine's laying into me really
Speaker 3: for the first time ever, like really just yelling at
Speaker 3: me and cussing at me, and and h I you know, deservedly,
Speaker 3: And then when I got in the car, I was like,
Speaker 3: fuck this house. H But I wasn't in there that long.
Speaker 3: I was like, man, I'm want to miss this house,
Speaker 3: and it it got real. I didn't expect you to
Speaker 3: get that real in there, and I was like when
Speaker 3: I got out, I was like, who.
Speaker 4: Man, I wasn't expecting that.
Speaker 3: I want ride into the bus saf But you know,
Speaker 3: I took a lot of the I took a lot
Speaker 3: of I took a lot of the heat, and I
Speaker 3: took a lot of the responsibility. I didn't try to
Speaker 3: pass it off. I accepted my you know, the things
Speaker 3: that I've done. I don't think I'm that person anymore.
Speaker 3: But you know, I I and I do won't blame
Speaker 3: it on my upbringing because I think that's just a thing.
Speaker 3: But you know, there are things inherently, you know, uh
Speaker 3: that that that people take with them, and I think,
Speaker 3: uh isolation was one of my was one of mine.
Speaker 6: Did you guys have to do some therapy together, yours,
Speaker 6: you and your daughter to kind of get through it?
Speaker 6: I mean, because obviously I could tell the I mean
Speaker 6: I would imagine animosity and pissed off anger, all that
Speaker 6: stuff she had. Did you guys have to go through
Speaker 6: some sessions together? It's to probably still do.
Speaker 4: No we we we did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know how long then elevator takes
Speaker 3: to get from like the fifth floor to the lobby,
Speaker 3: but that ship, it just felt like years. And if
Speaker 3: it stopped and somebody got out and be like, oh,
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean more so because you know, I'm
Speaker 3: an only child, I really don't communicate with anybody in
Speaker 3: my family.
Speaker 4: So it's really just it's really just mind.
Speaker 1: You know, you're breaking that generational trauma.
Speaker 4: I'm breaking that generational.
Speaker 1: Trauma, breaking that generational trauma.
Speaker 3: Man, I don't I don't think that. I don't think that.
Speaker 3: I don't think that. I think you know, I spent
Speaker 3: a lot of time alone. I've always spent a lot
Speaker 3: of time alone. And I think in comedians a lot
Speaker 3: of times. You know, now you can go to college.
Speaker 4: And become a comedian, you have a degree.
Speaker 3: But I came from the era where your life was
Speaker 3: a little bit fucked up when you became a comedian
Speaker 3: like Richard Pryor and all the dark all the dark
Speaker 3: characters that were comedians.
Speaker 4: I had a dark side.
Speaker 3: And now you know, guys are TikTok famous and making
Speaker 3: millions of dollars and they have a happy life. I
Speaker 3: didn't come from where comedians had happy life. It's almost
Speaker 3: like when you're a boxer and your fists are the
Speaker 3: only way out of the neighborhood. The humor was, I
Speaker 3: didn't have a plan be I would not even sure
Speaker 3: what I would be doing. But but I didn't. I
Speaker 3: used all of those things that made me afraid and
Speaker 3: then turned them into comedy. But I still spend a
Speaker 3: significant amount of time alone.
Speaker 7: It's amazing, George, when what you've built in your career.
Speaker 6: When we go out in public, whether we go to
Speaker 6: a game or whatever, maybe I go to your show.
Speaker 7: I mean, you're universally loved by everybody.
Speaker 6: It's insane, whether it be you know what, me and Marshaun,
Speaker 6: whether it be twelve year old fifteen year olds, or
Speaker 6: eighty year olds or sixty year olds. I mean, literally, George,
Speaker 6: you can't go to a Raider game without that entire
Speaker 6: stadium going nuts.
Speaker 5: We walked right outside the door. I think we got
Speaker 5: about ten damn feet. I'm like, I'm done with this guy.
Speaker 5: I gotta get the help. You know, I don't know
Speaker 5: where we were going, man, it is a hell of
Speaker 5: a thing.
Speaker 3: But it's you know, I I like that I mean,
Speaker 3: I appreciate the when you see young kids and you
Speaker 3: see people like that, you know that that do that.
Speaker 3: I remember, you know, when I was a kid in
Speaker 3: the seventies and we would get toys for Christmas, you know,
Speaker 3: and a lot of them weren't you you know, people
Speaker 3: would do I don't even know where they got them.
Speaker 3: And then in like two thousand and four or five,
Speaker 3: I woke up in the morning, I was like, I
Speaker 3: wonder if people still do that at my school, and
Speaker 3: I called over there. I forgot how many years had
Speaker 3: gone by since, like seventy three, two thousand and five.
Speaker 3: I called over there and I said, hey, do you
Speaker 3: guys still give toys out for Christmas? And what year
Speaker 3: was that? I said, seventy three, seventy three, and they're
Speaker 3: like no, I said, well, I mean, Keavin, I thought
Speaker 3: seventy three, like seven years ago, and like hell no.
Speaker 3: So I said, hey, I want to do it. So
Speaker 3: I've been doing it for almost twenty years. And when
Speaker 3: you see those little kids there, like I was. I
Speaker 3: saw a little kid in first grade and he came
Speaker 3: up to me and he was like, you're real. That's
Speaker 3: what he said to me. You're real, And that that's
Speaker 3: a shit that gets to me.
Speaker 7: Man, George, is it interesting?
Speaker 6: I mean, you know your day when you started out
Speaker 6: your show is you'd have to go to in front
Speaker 6: of two hundred people, of fifty people, whatever. Now these
Speaker 6: comedians can put some reels out there and might get
Speaker 6: some hits and likes, and all of a sudden they
Speaker 6: become famous. It's a bizarre day, correct now with we
Speaker 6: talked about all the time with Marshaun and talking about
Speaker 6: mentoring these young kids in the NFL and me as
Speaker 6: an agent. It's hard sometimes now with the way the
Speaker 6: social media is, especially in your profession as far as
Speaker 6: you know comedian, as far as what these guys do
Speaker 6: now versus what they had to do when you grind
Speaker 6: it back in your day.
Speaker 3: You know, like there was a there's a saying like
Speaker 3: whatever shines the brightest doesn't last, you know, and a
Speaker 3: lot of times, you know, these guys get if you
Speaker 3: look at YouTube, when you look at influencers or whatever.
Speaker 3: Somebody said to me, what do you do? I'm an influencer?
Speaker 3: I said, what's that where you get other pen That
Speaker 3: was like you to try to swallow a fucking teaspoon
Speaker 3: of cinnamon without coughing, like you know, there's a whole,
Speaker 3: there's a whole. If we guys eat tied eat tide pods,
Speaker 3: and you know, they they look at the attention that
Speaker 3: they get, whether it's on YouTube or when they go out,
Speaker 3: and then when that starts to dwindle, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of them that don't survive. Like they either commit suicide
Speaker 3: or they od whatever. They can't. They can't that adulation.
Speaker 3: They're not prepared for it. But it doesn't last. You know,
Speaker 3: everybody knows it doesn't last. But also they're not prepared
Speaker 3: for the shift and they and they you know, they don't,
Speaker 3: they don't. They can't make they don't make it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the gridd and the grind that motherfucker's put in
Speaker 8: back then, it's like it prepares you. It prepares you
Speaker 8: for the success and it prepares you for the failure.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, it's like, you.
Speaker 8: Know, just like you're saying, it's like right now, you
Speaker 8: just get on there and just try and do the
Speaker 8: most outland this ship and then hope it catch and
Speaker 8: then if it do, like all right, cool, I'm gonna
Speaker 8: ride this train for as long as I can. And
Speaker 8: then when that's up, it's like, okay, now what's what's
Speaker 8: What's some more crazy outland this ship that I can
Speaker 8: do to try to keep this buzz going for me.
Speaker 8: But I mean, you know, when you look at it,
Speaker 8: I mean and you think about it, like all the
Speaker 8: long nights that you really put in to really you know,
Speaker 8: I mean establish yourself and the places that that it
Speaker 8: that it take you. And then I mean, you know,
Speaker 8: the drug Like you know, one of my guys, little
Speaker 8: goofs say, the root of all evil ain't money, no
Speaker 8: more as clout and I mean that shit has been
Speaker 8: like something that's been taken individuals and shit, like you said,
Speaker 8: it's been taking a life. Because when you get in
Speaker 8: that position and it's like, all right, it didn't work,
Speaker 8: and it's like, oh, well, don't nobody care for me,
Speaker 8: don't nobody love me?
Speaker 1: No, that's not the case.
Speaker 8: It's just that everybody don't have the same attention span
Speaker 8: to that one little crazy shit that you did.
Speaker 1: And since it didn't hit for you that way, all
Speaker 1: my life is over.
Speaker 8: I don't know what to do. And Noah is get
Speaker 8: your ass in the lab and grind for some shit.
Speaker 8: That's all it is.
Speaker 4: That's it. That's it.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I would tell these guys, I
Speaker 3: mean they would say, what did you realize coming up?
Speaker 3: It's like, if you want to get to the next level,
Speaker 3: I said, you're going to have to put them up
Speaker 3: at some point. At some point, you're gonna have to
Speaker 3: put them You're gonna have to show what you got.
Speaker 3: And maybe not the most perfect situation, but there's gonna
Speaker 3: have there's gonna be times when you're gonna have to
Speaker 3: put your and you're gonna have to deliver more times
Speaker 3: than not because you know, you put them up and
Speaker 3: you don't, you don't make it.
Speaker 4: Everybody just everybody just leave.
Speaker 3: Man. I was just, you know, leave, So you just
Speaker 3: got to keep you just got to put them up.
Speaker 3: I remember when I remember when I hosted the Emmys
Speaker 3: in two thousand and five with a bunch of different
Speaker 3: comedians and and uh, I looked out and I saw
Speaker 3: all the sopranos and Willing Grace and six Feet Under
Speaker 3: and all these people and in the middle Robin Williams
Speaker 3: was in the middle. Saw him and he went like
Speaker 3: he went like this to me, went like this, he said.
Speaker 3: I said, if I thought he went like the Robin
Speaker 3: Williams was come on, A great guy.
Speaker 5: I remember I had a privilege of being with him
Speaker 5: uh on a weekend in Washington, d C. And I
Speaker 5: was with him and his agent in the back of
Speaker 5: a limo and we surprised folks at a comedy club.
Speaker 2: He was gonna do his big, big show.
Speaker 5: I think it was actually for the Democratic National Committee.
Speaker 5: It was another one of those big Clinton things. And
Speaker 5: so the night before he's doing what you guys do,
Speaker 5: which is grinding all that hard work behind the scenes,
Speaker 5: putting those dukes up, and he did a little comedy thing.
Speaker 5: Didn't tell anyone. We went in the back. We snuck
Speaker 5: in the back. No one knew, and we have a
Speaker 5: surprise guest, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: Robin when his.
Speaker 5: Place went crazy, you know, sixty people and he's grinding,
Speaker 5: does his stuff. He's iterating. We get in the limo
Speaker 5: and the agent. I'm about to talk to Robin, who's
Speaker 5: soaking wet. He's a completely different guy. He just was quiet,
Speaker 5: his head was down, he was soaking wet, and he said,
Speaker 5: don't say a goddamn word. And we went to the hotel.
Speaker 5: I remember walking back down the hallway the hotel and
Speaker 5: he went into his room, and he said, by gents,
Speaker 5: just quietly, like completely spent, because he was putting everything
Speaker 5: out there, just grinding in order to prepare for that
Speaker 5: next night.
Speaker 2: And I guess it's just a reminder of your craft, man.
Speaker 5: It's just you constantly have to grind, reinvent yourself, and
Speaker 5: nothing easy about what you do.
Speaker 3: In the early eighties, there was a canary yellow Rolls
Speaker 3: Royce in front of the Comedy Star and I was
Speaker 3: with my buddy Ernie and it was Richard Pryor's Richard Pryor.
Speaker 3: So they go, there's Richard Pryor by himself in the car.
Speaker 3: The car is idling, and my buddies I go say hello.
Speaker 3: I was like, fuck man, it takes me like twenty
Speaker 3: minutes to walk over there. I get to the window
Speaker 3: and I look in and he's got a micro cossette
Speaker 3: recorder and he's listening to his set. You could hear
Speaker 3: foo and you can hear the laughter. And I kind
Speaker 3: of backed up and he goes what happened? I said, Hey,
Speaker 3: I saw, I saw everything I needed to see.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So like you know, I've been I've been watching
Speaker 8: you since the Low Pay Show, Like you know what
Speaker 8: I mean?
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about it.
Speaker 8: But you know, when I get to the to the set,
Speaker 8: and you know, I don't know what to expect because
Speaker 8: this is my first time actually doing you know, something
Speaker 8: in front of a live audience the way that it
Speaker 8: was set up. So when we walked in and I
Speaker 8: and I actually see real people sitting in the damn
Speaker 8: stands and shit, I kind of like froze for a second,
Speaker 8: like ooh shit. Uh in the PA like you all right,
Speaker 8: I'm like, yeah, what's good. He's like, no, you just froze,
Speaker 8: And I'm like nah and froze, but talking abo, man,
Speaker 8: I'm ready to do this shit. And as the closer
Speaker 8: I got to it, my palm started sweating, you know
Speaker 8: what I mean, got sweat bees running down my face.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh shit, Like nah, this shit real.
Speaker 8: So when I get on the set and I'm like
Speaker 8: thinking to myself like, oh shit, I gotta remember all
Speaker 8: of these fucking lines. I gotta give them on Q
Speaker 8: and then like to sit around and you know, I
Speaker 8: mean not just be looking dumbfounded like and to think like,
Speaker 8: oh shit, you this is a whole different level of
Speaker 8: of of commitment. This is a whole different mindset, Like
Speaker 8: the whole shit was.
Speaker 1: Just completely different. But it made me appreciate.
Speaker 8: You even more because now I'm thinking, like, oh, and
Speaker 8: you do this shit week in and week out, and.
Speaker 3: I right too, Man, you did great, you did great.
Speaker 3: Your personality, your personality. He came out and grabbed his dick.
Speaker 5: Jesus, we've been talking, We've been trying to talk to
Speaker 5: him out of that, George that.
Speaker 3: We can't keep that one. But just you know, for
Speaker 3: the for the gag reel, I mean, you know, he
Speaker 3: he just you just have this thing, man, like you
Speaker 3: were you were fine.
Speaker 4: You were fine. Man.
Speaker 3: And then and then uh, the director Phil Lewis, he
Speaker 3: was you know he uh he said, hey, he was
Speaker 3: a big Greater fan and Marshaan he wanted Marshawn to
Speaker 3: tackle and Marshawn, Uh, it's like the three step hit.
Speaker 3: Pick him up and drive him into this mat.
Speaker 4: That's what it's bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, that ship was a to me.
Speaker 8: It was It was one of the most I say,
Speaker 8: like for me, like nerve racking things that I have done.
Speaker 8: Considering I've been on the biggest stage, played on the
Speaker 8: uh super Bowl twice.
Speaker 1: You know, I've acted in you know, some movies.
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, I mean and by far that when I'm
Speaker 8: looking around and I'm like, oh shit, like you really
Speaker 8: got to deliver right now. And then when you came
Speaker 8: out on the fucking set, it was a whole different
Speaker 8: fucking type of energy.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Jim Plugget. We was just.
Speaker 8: All in like like oh shit, like we actually in
Speaker 8: the moment of you know, I mean, it was like
Speaker 8: greatness just all around, and when you stepped on that muffle,
Speaker 8: you could just feel your presence from from everybody.
Speaker 1: And then it was so fucking sharp on how everything
Speaker 1: was being ran like. It gave me a great fucking
Speaker 1: deal of respect.
Speaker 8: So I remember them nights while I'm watching watching your
Speaker 8: show on uh well listen, I.
Speaker 3: Mean I saw Bottoms. You were fucking hilarious. I think
Speaker 3: I think you have a career in movies.
Speaker 7: Well, you know, it's funny, George.
Speaker 6: I'm at the super Bowl and I'm there with Paul
Speaker 6: Rudd and I so Paul Rudd says, hey, I want
Speaker 6: to talk to you about more Shawn, And I'm like, God,
Speaker 6: what does he ask me about?
Speaker 7: Marshawn?
Speaker 6: And He's like, whatever movie he's done, I've seen Bottoms twice.
Speaker 6: Whatever he wants to do it, I'm in you tell
Speaker 6: me whinning where I said so, I called marshauns and
Speaker 6: Marchhaun Paul fucking Rudd says he whatever he's doing, he
Speaker 6: wants you win and vice versa.
Speaker 7: And that's his respect.
Speaker 6: Marshawn's getting now in that in that field, which is again, uh,
Speaker 6: kudos to him and and rare because it's it's a
Speaker 6: testament to what he's done in term of his career
Speaker 6: and and uh to be that way now, which is awesome.
Speaker 3: Marshall's got He's got He's got it. Whatever the IT factor,
Speaker 3: he's got the it. He's got the it.
Speaker 8: George, I appreciated that that goddamn experience was was was
Speaker 8: was one of us.
Speaker 3: But Bottoms Bottoms was one of those movies like in
Speaker 3: the seventies movies where.
Speaker 4: It's just funny.
Speaker 1: All yeah, that ship wash I was really good.
Speaker 4: Agent.
Speaker 5: You're Doug, George, just you know, you brought up prior
Speaker 5: a couple of times, and I love that antidote about
Speaker 5: just hearing them with the cassette tape and just constantly
Speaker 5: just perfecting the art. What I mean, you do you
Speaker 5: have any hacks like that. I mean, you are you
Speaker 5: constantly reviewing tape? Are you looking at old tape? Or
Speaker 5: when it's done, it's done, You're just moving on.
Speaker 2: I mean, what what is?
Speaker 3: How do you?
Speaker 5: How do you constantly stay on on the leading?
Speaker 3: As we get them, we get them all transcribed, they
Speaker 3: get sent to the house, I divide them and separate them,
Speaker 3: and then you know, I'm doing another special at Doby

Speaker 4: show you, guys. One thing so I used to I
Speaker 4: used to write.
Speaker 3: I used to write on these those mead you know
Speaker 3: that those like those spiral notebooks. And I wrote this.
Speaker 3: I wrote this eight six, nineteen seventy nine. I said,
Speaker 3: I know at times I can't make it, but eventually
Speaker 3: I will. I'll hit the American people like a hammer.
Speaker 3: I'll be the best out of set. Was Wow, I was,
Speaker 3: I was, uh. And I've never written anything to myself.
Speaker 4: I mean that, Wow, that right there.
Speaker 3: I'm not even sure what in inspired me to or
Speaker 3: how it's still in my possession after all these years.
Speaker 3: But that's for a for a fucking eighteen year old
Speaker 3: kids to write that to himself is crazy.
Speaker 7: Did you find that? Did you find that years later?
Speaker 6: Or it's always it's always been with me, It's always
Speaker 6: been with you, Okay.
Speaker 2: And you do any I mean are you constantly writing now?

Speaker 5: Is it jokes or is just reflections on your day?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: I think it's it's all, it's I think it's a
Speaker 3: little bit of of all of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all.
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of like you know,
Speaker 3: almost they come to you in your head, or there's
Speaker 3: things you write about or things that you know you that.
Speaker 4: You know when you get older. I mean, it's all
Speaker 4: lot of stuffs have to do older.

Speaker 3: dude that found gold. Remember those old miners that where
Speaker 3: they would run when they found gold. I said, I
Speaker 3: looked at I said, I run like a dude that
Speaker 3: found gold.
Speaker 7: Hey, George, let me ask you the question.
Speaker 6: It's interesting because Moreshaan always talks about he was infamous
Speaker 6: talking about, you know, take care of your mentals. After
Speaker 6: that Green Bay playoff game. You know, you look at
Speaker 6: these like players now and all the athletes and they're
Speaker 6: on uh you know, social media after game and you fumble,
Speaker 6: people want to kill them or they score a touchdown,
Speaker 6: they want to take them to dinner and love them
Speaker 6: with you. And that's the question from Marshaun now too.
Speaker 6: With you guys in this field and you being on
Speaker 6: the road as much as you are, or do you
Speaker 6: find yourself looking at social media and seeing what people
Speaker 6: thought of a show or how they react to the
Speaker 6: movie or you pretty much stay off of it.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: You know what I stay. I kind of stay off
Speaker 3: it because you know, I'm sixty three. Man, I ain't
Speaker 3: got time for that shit.
Speaker 4: You know, I ain't got time.
Speaker 3: And you know I tell Mayan, you know, like I said, Mayan,
Speaker 3: what if they what if a hundred people like you
Speaker 3: and a hundred people hate you. It's like it doesn't matter,
Speaker 3: Like what they say don't matter.
Speaker 7: Amen.
Speaker 4: I mean, I appreciate it, but it doesn't matter.

Speaker 8: for each other, and the way it's not real.
Speaker 3: You know, it's just not it's not.

Speaker 8: see that we have a lot of similarities in the
Speaker 8: way that we approach life. It just showed me how
Speaker 8: much more we are alike than we are different. And
Speaker 8: just you know, I mean the way that he lock
Speaker 8: in you know what I mean, when he doing this set,
Speaker 8: and then you know, I had the chance to go
Speaker 8: and uh to see him in the sphere out here
Speaker 8: in Vegas, and I was just thinking to myself, like, God, damn,
Speaker 8: this motherfucker old as fuck and he's still packing out
Speaker 8: shows and it all come off of just.
Speaker 1: Is his mindset.
Speaker 8: So then it, you know what I mean, that type
Speaker 8: of shit to give me hope as long as like,
Speaker 8: all right, continuing the you know, I mean, because he
Speaker 8: said it like you know, we beat to our own drum,
Speaker 8: like you know what I mean, anything outside of what's
Speaker 8: in and said, we don't let that shit consume us.
Speaker 8: That's right, And I'm like, damn, you know what that's
Speaker 8: that's interesting as fuck. But then you know, it was
Speaker 8: really like I mean, because I mean, you know, that's
Speaker 8: not the type of music that I'm gonna put on
Speaker 8: and I'm gonna listen to. But then hearing this individual
Speaker 8: who you know, I mean, could give me some background
Speaker 8: on I mean the style of play that I had
Speaker 8: and was able to i mean incorporate in the two
Speaker 8: I mean, his mindset and him doing music that shit
Speaker 8: was a It was it was really interesting, but it
Speaker 8: really just showed me like, you know, I mean, no
Speaker 8: matter what, like the biggest thing in which I think,
Speaker 8: you know, a lot of people, you know, my overlook
Speaker 8: is you infeel me or the mindset that it takes
Speaker 8: in order to you know, I mean continue, you know,
Speaker 8: I mean to be great and not and not just
Speaker 8: because we in the time of this social media ship
Speaker 8: and everything is to put out, put out, put out,
Speaker 8: put out, put out, put out, but to be able
Speaker 8: to to to really hone in to to who you
Speaker 8: are and live that shit and have that be your truth.
Speaker 1: That shit is something special.
Speaker 8: So man, and I mean, you know, regardless to just
Speaker 8: a little bit to you know, the social media after
Speaker 8: you do X, Y and Z. It's not that the
Speaker 8: first thing I do after I you know, I mean,
Speaker 8: whether it's a game, I mean, a TV show or
Speaker 8: commercial or something like that is not I go and
Speaker 8: run to the internet to try and see what people
Speaker 8: were saying this, that and the third. But just a
Speaker 8: long A yeah, I might get on there and I
Speaker 8: might run through some shit and I come across it
Speaker 8: like okay, yeah that was cool. But I don't let
Speaker 8: that shit make up who I am. And I'm not
Speaker 8: chasing after you know, I mean the clout or you
Speaker 8: know what I mean, the ooze and the ads, or
Speaker 8: you know, the spitefulness that I would get from hearing
Speaker 8: all these individuals talk about I mean, whether all that
Speaker 8: shit was trash or all that was great.
Speaker 1: This that and the third.
Speaker 8: But more so, just like I mean, at this point,
Speaker 8: it's like if I say something, Dan, you feel me.
Speaker 1: I mean it, I stand on it, and that's just
Speaker 1: what it is.
Speaker 8: And there's nobody out there that's gonna make me waiver
Speaker 8: again or put me against myself because then you get
Speaker 8: put in the position of where that's shit kind of
Speaker 8: lead to self destruction trying to please everybody in so
Speaker 8: I mean, you know that was more so to take
Speaker 8: away that I got from him and to see that
Speaker 8: that motherfucker I think he was like I think he
Speaker 8: like ninety nine or something like that, and to see
Speaker 8: that he's still rocking the same way and selling out
Speaker 8: you feel me though shows and shit, it's like, all right,
Speaker 8: I might be on the something, you know what I.
