Speaker 1: she got her nose broken, and then your stunt man
Speaker 1: got his cheekbone busted and his lip busted. And then
Speaker 1: Peter just started punching the somn because he was so
Speaker 1: mad that he punched the guy. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: and you wanted me to do that stunt? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: see now you see why I backed out of that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not because of course I'd love to do a
Speaker 1: fight him. Do you know a lot of the stunt
Speaker 1: coordinator guys in l A, like Pete, Pete Antico. Do
Speaker 1: you know Pete, it's been a minute because I've done
Speaker 1: When I was younger, I did a lot more violent films.
Speaker 1: You can do a psycho really well, do you do?
Speaker 1: Have you do crazy. Really, it's a good thing that
Speaker 1: I have a place to vent. Yeah, it's good because
Speaker 1: it imagine that's the thing because people don't realize, like
Speaker 1: who's home would I be in if not from movies?
Speaker 1: Um No, I always tell I tell people I go
Speaker 1: when when you see actors doing things, it's not they
Speaker 1: didn't randomly pick this this energy out of nowhere. That's
Speaker 1: something that's inside of them. That's something that was there. One.
Speaker 1: If they weren't an actor, that could have been them.
Speaker 1: I would agree with you in a lot of different ways. Seven.
Speaker 1: I had kind of been out of the hood. That
Speaker 1: was a great movie. That was that movie? Is that
Speaker 1: where you met sam That is? I mean actually no,
Speaker 1: I met Samuel before I met Samuel at the premiere
Speaker 1: of was it Menace? Yep? Or Dead Presidents? Where were
Speaker 1: you in Dead Presidents? Yeah? I was in both of them?
Speaker 1: Yeah you were yeah, yeah it was it Menace where
Speaker 1: he plays Yeah the funk you were in Dead Presidents.

Speaker 1: money yet, motherfucker better pay up else. I told you
Speaker 1: I pay your monkey as that's what I'm ready. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was what's his name Jimmy. Yeah, I'll pay on
Speaker 1: my gass when I feel like it, and he said
Speaker 1: blasting on my fist. So that's what I met Sam
Speaker 1: for the first time, and I love that. That's one
Speaker 1: of my favorite Me and Jacob Vargus memorize those lines.
Speaker 1: We used to play that back and forth. That's that scene,
Speaker 1: which is so much fun. I always feel like, um
Speaker 1: Lorenz Tate should have got an Economy Award nomination a
Speaker 1: couple of times. Yeah, Chris Tucker could have got one
Speaker 1: for a menace, I mean form for Presidents for President,
Speaker 1: because you know, Chris Rock audition for that, and there's
Speaker 1: quite a few people audition and and Tucker. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean he's not illiterate, but he's not not really a
Speaker 1: I don't like a reader per se. Yeah. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: he he had to he had to get off book
Speaker 1: to perform, so he had to he had to prepare.
Speaker 1: So then again the Furi goals away and he goes
Speaker 1: in and he literally earned that role. So I didn't
Speaker 1: be Boot can't with him. Boot can't what Chris Tucker
Speaker 1: was hilarious. Chris is a great guy. But I love Chris,
Speaker 1: but this is before you know he uh gosh, I
Speaker 1: don't even know Friday he come out yet. I don't
Speaker 1: think it had Jesus, but the Presidents was like ninety
Speaker 1: two no, no, I think it was no. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: I just remember I remember Chris Tucker when it got released. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably yeah, But I remember Tucker got ambushed in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night because he didn't want to do
Speaker 1: his night watch. But he told his hooch maans like
Speaker 1: the main nobody's stocking us. We had Captain deal Die
Speaker 1: stocking us and uh, I just woke up in the
Speaker 1: middle of night. I just heard something and I put

Speaker 1: I was stealing my parents cars and motorcycle and my
Speaker 1: friends were stealing cars back on the mid eighties and
Speaker 1: none of us knew how to drive. We stole one time,
Speaker 1: stole a Dodge Omni hatchback four door and it was stick,
Speaker 1: and none of us knew how to drive stick. We're
Speaker 1: just jerking around the city and like a bunch of idiots.

Speaker 1: one that U Ramble had in First Blood, that one,
Speaker 1: and he just got a new one Harley. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: well the two fifties sits high and I was fifteen,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't. I had to go to the curb
Speaker 1: to kick started, you know, and I it was Culver City,
Speaker 1: and then I filled it up with gaff before my
Speaker 1: stepdad came home, so he would have beat my ass.
Speaker 1: So I put a helmet on, glasses, gloves and leather jacket,
Speaker 1: so I looked older. So when a CCPD would come
Speaker 1: next to me, I'd be driving down supp Over to
Speaker 1: Cover Boulevard by Veterans Park, you know, and then when
Speaker 1: at the light, I had to get off the seat
Speaker 1: because because it was a tippy toe and the cars
Speaker 1: would come by, and I had a lot of older
Speaker 1: so I just looked by. I was like, so, man,
Speaker 1: just real quick. Couldn't be like, hey, what's up guy?
Speaker 1: I was like trying my dad's Yeah. I was just
Speaker 1: like just real, like so man like. And then the
Speaker 1: light would turn green. I would get on it and
Speaker 1: probe really like hanging off the bike because it'll trying

Speaker 1: really terrible, terrible, trible. Is your mom still alive? My
Speaker 1: mom is where she's a Chatsworth deep deep in the valley,
Speaker 1: deep in the valley. You see her much? I do not,
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm I'm actually talking to her more now
Speaker 1: to uh because as I find details about the family history. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's the oldest out of the of the siblings
Speaker 1: because it was her my aunt who passed away. And
Speaker 1: then my younger uncle who was a medic in Vietnam
Speaker 1: and just he kind of he didn't become an actor,
Speaker 1: and he's a he retired, but he was doing dialysis
Speaker 1: and it was a badass. He had a chance to
Speaker 1: leave Vietnam. My grandpa called, um, who was it? It
Speaker 1: was somebody became a senator that was an actor. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. No, he called Ronald Reagan. When the cops
Speaker 1: fucked with me, Um, the Sheriff's ransacked my, my little writer.
Speaker 1: I had a Mini, a hard body, Nissan hard body,
Speaker 1: those Nissan trucks and malib Yeah, I slammed my had

Speaker 1: two of them, the thousand lots of kim would to
Speaker 1: pull out and no, I had cam c's. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to get I didn't want to be strapped. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so the Sheriff's ransacked it. And obviously, and I was
Speaker 1: teaching martial arts, we were helping kids. I had never
Speaker 1: smoked weed, and my grandpa got so heated. He called
Speaker 1: Reagan and then Um and then Reagan's assistant. He had
Speaker 1: a few. She called me and then next you know,
Speaker 1: like the I guess the heard of the top guy
Speaker 1: is at the sheriff's department and always chief or captain
Speaker 1: or whatever it calls me. Why didn't you just follow
Speaker 1: follow the report? Like Mexican I know what reports do?
Speaker 1: They do nothing. If it was a white person, may
Speaker 1: go and file a report. Oh, those will work. Report
Speaker 1: if you're flying. Found that under Clifton Collins, that might
Speaker 1: have worked. Yeah, well, how was that gonzalas Gonzalez. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, hold on a second, I think they
Speaker 1: saw gonzazas Gonzala from Reagan. The Ronald Reagan thing happened. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it sounds like it sounds like one of those
Speaker 1: Mexican law firms. It was George Murphy, Eddie Cant and
Speaker 1: George Murphy that was the team. So when George Murphy
Speaker 1: became a senator, my grandmother it's seeing my uncle dragon
Speaker 1: a body to a Huey on the news and and
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god. And so my grandpa called
Speaker 1: calls Um George Murphy and um, next, you know, my
Speaker 1: uncle's getting a phone call in the battleship and he's like, well,
Speaker 1: nobody's getting phone calls on the battleship. I know who
Speaker 1: this is. It's Pops. He's like me, Oh, he's your grandma.
Speaker 1: You're my mom, and your mom saw you on TV
Speaker 1: and the body she was at the heart. You're coming home.
Speaker 1: He's like, Dad, No, I'm not. I'm gonna stay here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna finish my tour and when I'm done, then
Speaker 1: I'm coming home. Yeah. Yeah, And then he started cursing
Speaker 1: in Spanish and the radio mimsigan dollars English, English, please goods,
Speaker 1: because you couldn't speak another language, becaudes English. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: but life was so hard at home he'd rather stay
Speaker 1: in Vietnam. So we had a very violent upbringing. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess it sounds like it did. Yeah, And I'm
Speaker 1: gringing therapy session for it is a great therapy session.
Speaker 1: But you know, you gotta get through the paint. That's
Speaker 1: that's the thing you gotta I always say you gotta
Speaker 1: say things sometimes to hear it. So and I think
Speaker 1: that that doesn't that sometimes could be bad in a
Speaker 1: relationship with Like I something, I'll just say something because
Speaker 1: I want. I want to hear how it sounds. And
Speaker 1: then why would you say that? I go, and you
Speaker 1: can't explain it. They think you're deflected, but I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I really just need to hear it out loud. Also
Speaker 1: you repeat it. Yeah, I'll be like what the was that?
Speaker 1: I go. I just need to hear it. And if
Speaker 1: I hear it, then I understand it better. It helps
Speaker 1: for me too. He helps for me to hear it
Speaker 1: from other people. Yeah, my grandfather told me I could act,
Speaker 1: because I didn't. I didn't think I could. I was afraid.
Speaker 1: I didn't think uh, genetically predisposed to it. Why I
Speaker 1: would you You're so deep in the forest you can't
Speaker 1: even smell the pine needles. Yeah, you know, I think
Speaker 1: you're just like you know, A show was tap dance.
Speaker 1: That was a class clown. I was always getting those
Speaker 1: laughs at school and detention. You know, how far did
Speaker 1: you go with hff? Uh? I still huff? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got my shoes at home. Actually I do a little
Speaker 1: tap dancing jockey. Really. Yeah, well, they were like with me,
Speaker 1: good Jackson. The character played Jackson Jackson should do a dance.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm a horse jockey. How I don't know
Speaker 1: how am I gonna do. Give me a reason and
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. And you couldn't really give me
Speaker 1: a reason. Um, so I started. I found all these
Speaker 1: horse shoes all over the track, just all over the place,
Speaker 1: and I thought, fuck, instead of tap shoes, maybe I
Speaker 1: could make some. So with these, I got a bunch
Speaker 1: of these old ones. So when they're not real white,
Speaker 1: I can't warm at premiers, you know, when they get old.
Speaker 1: So I just I could do like housework and ship
Speaker 1: and shoveling ship. So yeah, so I brought three pairs.
Speaker 1: I brought three pairs that put the bottle caps on
Speaker 1: the heels and horse shoes on the front. They were
Speaker 1: heavy and it took me a day to adjust my
Speaker 1: caps a store and once. So I practiced for a
Speaker 1: little bit. And that's actually on my Instagram. I put
Speaker 1: a little post with the boat Carter's um, I get
Speaker 1: the blues just to see how it worked, and then
Speaker 1: I follow you. It was during the jockey period when
Speaker 1: we were filming. You'll see a whole little section, just
Speaker 1: a handful of photos, but you'll see the tap Dante there,
Speaker 1: and then I sent it to him, dude, because I
Speaker 1: knew they wouldn't quite understand the concept of it, because
Speaker 1: I'm like, no jockey would have a pair of legitimate
Speaker 1: tap shoes. So I started with the the coke cans
Speaker 1: and the bottle caps, like the kids doing New Orleans,
Speaker 1: because I love hope with those kids. I'd go up
Speaker 1: to those kids in New Orleans and show much you
Speaker 1: got and maybe like, Tutt, like, okay, what's with the
Speaker 1: only kids? Show another one. They're like, okay, Tutt, Like
Speaker 1: that's the same thing, but you live with the other foot.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, like they knew that I know a
Speaker 1: little like little youngsters, and they're like okay, like so
Speaker 1: much you got, And then they showed me a different
Speaker 1: move and like okay, So then I throw them a
Speaker 1: little five of five and then all the other family
Speaker 1: come running across. I'd see like because I always I'd
Speaker 1: always go with like I get like a hundred dollars
Speaker 1: every Saturday, and I'd get a bunch of fives, and
Speaker 1: I'd go to any of the musicians or the dancers.
Speaker 1: I would just go like I'd leave my hotel early
Speaker 1: in the morning and the trumpet, anybody's doing anything that's entertainment,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'd just be dropping fives everywhere. That
Speaker 1: was my Saturdays in New Orleans and Sundays. I'd love
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah. See a lot of guys would take
Speaker 1: that hundred, turn it into ones and go to the
Speaker 1: strip joint. Well, the strip joint is uh John Olmstead.
Speaker 1: That was kind of like my second home hustler. Yeah,
Speaker 1: had production dropped me off Mr Cohlan's hustler's clothes ring.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I understand if you just drop me off
Speaker 1: on bourbon in front of hustler, knock on the door
Speaker 1: or clothes it's cliff up. Sorry, come on, anybody. That
Speaker 1: was my wine down, Yeah, I got it, a couple
Speaker 1: of drinks before going to bed. My friend calls them institutes.
Speaker 1: He says, they want to prostitute, but they can't commit
Speaker 1: to it, so they want institutes. They'll dry, humpy and
Speaker 1: get naked. But that's as far as you're getting. Honestly,
Speaker 1: it was just a hang from now I get it.
Speaker 1: I mean I'd sit at the barn talk. I lee
Speaker 1: have garza with all of them. No lab dances for me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like I don't even understand a lap dance anymore.
Speaker 1: I went through a phase and like a girl gives
Speaker 1: you a lap dance, what are you doing? Then they
Speaker 1: look at you like they're gonna kiss me. You're like,
Speaker 1: what are you looking at my eyes for? I don't
Speaker 1: want to look at your eyes. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see your pain, and I don't want you to see
Speaker 1: my happiness. I remember on a dead Presidents we hit
Speaker 1: at the clubs pretty hard, and Tucker was dropping fifties.
Speaker 1: Uh Vida Florida, Yeah. And then the cab drive to
Speaker 1: the Friggan's Trip club was expensive, so we would jump
Speaker 1: in one and all split it. But they was dropping fifties.
Speaker 1: And and I'd always pretend that I left my pretem
Speaker 1: at home, so like, I didn't bring any money, let
Speaker 1: me make you laugh dance. I didn't bring my money,
Speaker 1: like and because I would always tell him jokes and
Speaker 1: get him laughing, cause you get them laughing, and then
Speaker 1: they want to give you free lab dances, so I
Speaker 1: would get free lab dances. Tucker's dropping fifties, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm dropping nothing and get lap dances. And he was
Speaker 1: dropping fifties on the girl's sister that I was talking
Speaker 1: to yeah, look now pretty much. But he would call
Speaker 1: me like fur them, like, yo, get up here, man,
Speaker 1: I got your girl up here, and you sister. I
Speaker 1: want to get what her sister like. I know you do. Dude,
Speaker 1: we gotta shoot him sixteens. Well, did we shooting blanks?
Speaker 1: I know, but we gotta be alert. We can still
Speaker 1: get hurt. I'm going we gotta get up on a
Speaker 1: couple of hours. We'll get up here, dude, get up here,
Speaker 1: like I was his golden key to getting to this girl.
Speaker 1: Earl and uh, and I just I just went back
Speaker 1: to bed. I just did. Look, we're still shooting up
Speaker 1: sixty there's still still I had to do all that
Speaker 1: in your early twenties. So it was like, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, So like you're doing that in your
Speaker 1: early twenties. That I mean for me in my early twenties,
Speaker 1: rest and sleep meant nothing. Well, it will come on,
Speaker 1: let's go. We're gonna go get checks. This is great.
Speaker 1: We gotta shoot at six am. Let's go shoot at
Speaker 1: six am. So here's here's the difference. I grew up
Speaker 1: with my grandfather talking about how hard it was to
Speaker 1: get work, how how much they suffered how little they
Speaker 1: got paid, how sometimes they got ripped off. You're never
Speaker 1: late for work, You're always prepared. And I think he
Speaker 1: was Andre Brawer that told me once he was, you know,
Speaker 1: clicking a lot of these cats. They don't know he goes.
Speaker 1: I was asking about Glory. He's like when I was
Speaker 1: on Glory because I was watching Denzel and Freeman like
Speaker 1: a hawk. I was just watching him and learning and learning.
Speaker 1: And you have the other fools that we're going out
Speaker 1: and I was staying home. You gotta think about like
Speaker 1: being an athlete, you gotta get your rest. You gotta
Speaker 1: be mentally rested, physically rested. You gotta be ready. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna win. I've only met Andre Broward once, Huh,
Speaker 1: I mean I only I mean I loved him on
Speaker 1: Brooklyn nine nine, So okay, I did Thief with him. Well,
Speaker 1: we both got nominated for Emmy's won. Actually that's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you have an Emmy though, don't you know Golden
Speaker 1: Globe but he got I don't have. I have some
Speaker 1: have a SAG Award. I've got some awards. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: you're not like you know, it's it's funny because you're
Speaker 1: one of those actors who everybody knows your name. Everybody
Speaker 1: like both of them, both of them, they've known both
Speaker 1: of your names. They'll know it was Clifton. Cons don't
Speaker 1: know the old school. Yeah, because I remember you, because
Speaker 1: when you when I met you at um Boondocks, at
Speaker 1: Boondocks and then they go as a Clifton Collins Jr.
Speaker 1: Go No, that's not his name. That's not his name.
Speaker 1: I don't know him as that, and I don't know
Speaker 1: where and I'm like, is there another guy? And you go, oh,
Speaker 1: you even told me, go no that I changed it,
Speaker 1: and I go, I went back to it. When I
Speaker 1: was doing Price of Glory, Yeah, yeah, it was. I
Speaker 1: was kind of being haunted. I I lost my dad
Speaker 1: to a suicide when I was doing one A seven,
Speaker 1: like two days before I killed myself in the movie.
Speaker 1: I had my father's funeral. Yeah. So you know, Samuels
Speaker 1: there farm me every step of the way, like he's
Speaker 1: I'm making one call. I take care of everything for you.
Speaker 1: So it was always a weird thing being Gonzala because
Speaker 1: I was knowing that I was, because I remember eating
Speaker 1: the mor scene with Samuel, and you know what a
Speaker 1: high school movie has a more scene in the High
Speaker 1: School movie. I said, Sam, this is really weird means
Speaker 1: West Well, you know, you know me's Clifton gonzas Gonzalez,
Speaker 1: but I'm really Clifton Colles Jr. And we're we're here
Speaker 1: doing a fancy movie with you and Mel Gibson producing
Speaker 1: Icon Productions, and I'm Clifton Gonzala because I was pretending
Speaker 1: to be dead when the Clipping Collin Seniors really did
Speaker 1: really in the morgue right now today, I just kept
Speaker 1: to my sister asking me if I wanted anything from
Speaker 1: the more, which is very surreal, like art imitating life,
Speaker 1: what the hell you call it? I have that a
Speaker 1: lot in my life, like those weird moments. You ever
Speaker 1: done that thing where somebody asks you how you're doing
Speaker 1: and you say fine, even though you're not fine. I
Speaker 1: know you have because I know I've done it, and
Speaker 1: I did it for a long time. Anyway, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: You're probably not just going to reveal everything that's going
Speaker 1: on to whoever asks. It's much better to talk to
Speaker 1: somebody who's qualified to help you get through it. And
Speaker 1: that's why I recommend trying talk space, which makes therapy

Speaker 1: and by the time I realized I needed help, I
Speaker 1: had honestly been bottling it all up for so long.

Speaker 1: and then Light it Up, people called me and they said, hey,
Speaker 1: are you gonna go by your calls there good as Gonzalez.
Speaker 1: And I was like, that's trippy because I never ever
Speaker 1: talked about going back to my birth name. Although I
Speaker 1: was tired of getting fucked with when you when you travel,

Speaker 1: or residuals or like somebody's by the name Gonzas Gonzalez
Speaker 1: has got your social and that's me, who's calling? That's me.

Speaker 1: found forty prints of my driver's license, my socials, my
Speaker 1: sag Carric had to mel it with every I R
Speaker 1: S thing and that was a pain in the ass.
Speaker 1: And then when they called me like we were thinking
Speaker 1: about if you wanted to go back to your birth name,
Speaker 1: I was like. And then we were shooting at the
Speaker 1: Inglewood Forum and my dad had lived in a trailer
Speaker 1: park across the street, and I got the phone call
Speaker 1: and John Sada and I had gone outside, so I
Speaker 1: had a phone signal and it happened to ring because
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have got it had I been in the
Speaker 1: boxing ring with John. And then I picked it up
Speaker 1: and and I just took that as a sign, like

Speaker 1: I just yeah, I'd love to come back for fights.
Speaker 1: I've been really last night here it did I was,
Speaker 1: I was busy. I was so deep studying and researching
Speaker 1: and writing for Grandpa. For Grandpa like like, it's funny
Speaker 1: because you can think that you found everything, and you know,
Speaker 1: you you change a letter or a word. Next you know,
Speaker 1: you tap into like a treasure chest of photos in
Speaker 1: history and you're like, oh my god, and then you're
Speaker 1: up for like three more hours. What's the direction you
Speaker 1: want to go with the story? Uh, it's it's want
Speaker 1: to start with the origin story for Grandpa's is a
Speaker 1: feature and then um, I was speaking to my reps
Speaker 1: about doing um a mini series. Just on the car
Speaker 1: Pus scene from the He's like, yeah, remember telling you
Speaker 1: the dog was acting like a brat. She does that
Speaker 1: when she's tired. So she acts like a brat when
Speaker 1: she's tired. So you'll pick her up so she can
Speaker 1: sit on your lap and fall asleep and that's what
Speaker 1: she's done now. So that snoring you're hearing is it's
Speaker 1: the dog. Well, because she's a pug. He's got big
Speaker 1: as eyes. You can't close them. Really. Yeah, that's how
Speaker 1: my mom used to sleep. Oh he knows, she knows. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did we get a clean one on that? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my pug. So you're really enjoying this podcast. Huh?
Speaker 1: How was the fight last night? I mean, Tyron Woodley
Speaker 1: really wasn't busy enough. It wasn't busy enough. He stood
Speaker 1: there and I don't know what he was waiting for.
Speaker 1: He would wait for Jake Paul to throw punches and
Speaker 1: then he try and throw a punch. I'm like, you're
Speaker 1: the professional fighter here, you should be dictating the pace
Speaker 1: of this fight. But maybe he was and that was
Speaker 1: his way. No, you don't think because he was. He
Speaker 1: was fighting a taller guy, and he was fighting on
Speaker 1: the outside, and you should be fighting on the inside
Speaker 1: because it's long arms. And yeah, you guys got long
Speaker 1: arms and you should dip in, get put for it
Speaker 1: on his chest and get busy. But he fought the
Speaker 1: wrong fight and he deservedly lost. And I can't believe
Speaker 1: he had that everything, Like, no, I think I won that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you did not. There's no way you
Speaker 1: should think you won that. That's interesting. Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: watch it. It's uh but anytime there's a fight and
Speaker 1: I'm home, it's here. We have the fight here every time. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it realized you're so close to me. Oh but now, okay,

Speaker 1: I mean we had a cretend so wow. Yeah, it

Speaker 1: like so I would literally just shoot it at a
Speaker 1: turf paradise which is in northern Phoenix. Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: like a church like on every corner. That part scared me.
Speaker 1: And that just freaked me out there when you when
Speaker 1: you walk three miles in you pass eight churches, You're like,
Speaker 1: how evil are these people in this town? You need
Speaker 1: this beach church? That's are you people this bad that

Speaker 1: God God eats here right like I didn't know. It
Speaker 1: was creepy. Like I'm way cooler what liquor stores than

Speaker 1: lover out the total ladies. After one little bottle of
Speaker 1: Cisco grape it tastes like solid, like liquid kool Aid syrup. Well,

Speaker 1: remember my homeboy from WAT like her homing, like, what
Speaker 1: are you clown to me? You've got an O E,
Speaker 1: a big old O E, and I got a little
Speaker 1: purple Cisco. Don't worry, You'll be fine. I'm like, whatever, dude,

Speaker 1: I'm singing to all of them like you're fearless in
Speaker 1: your twenties, Yeah, fearless, Like I could take all these
Speaker 1: girls home. I was. I was that guy. I was
Speaker 1: terrible in my thirties. When I started drinking, That's when
Speaker 1: I was. I became really like I was getting laid
Speaker 1: a lot because I was just my game stepped up.
Speaker 1: My my, my, my fears went away. I was like,
Speaker 1: let me talk to this girl. I didn't realize what
Speaker 1: a bad reputation I had until I got engaged, and
Speaker 1: then why all all my exes came out a bunch
Speaker 1: more mad at me? And then chicks didn't believe it
Speaker 1: was happening, Like they thought it was like, this can't
Speaker 1: be happening, you know, because I've never been engaged, and
Speaker 1: I got a game. I've been engaged. Well, this the
Speaker 1: woman I'm with Now I'm actually marrying her, so um,
Speaker 1: but then next year, next year and everything. I just
Speaker 1: don't want to like four or five years. No, we
Speaker 1: haven't eve been together that long. Okay, you're in a bit, Okay,
Speaker 1: but we just we clicked, like we know, we just
Speaker 1: we just we get what's it's that when you go
Speaker 1: I went funk, I get it now, I get it.
Speaker 1: How beautiful is that to find it compatible? Yeah? And
Speaker 1: she's from Long Beach, you know what I mean. She's
Speaker 1: not like, yeah, she's from the hood part of Long
Speaker 1: Beach ninth and ELM, I love it. Yeah. So she's
Speaker 1: not like, she's not like a little prissy one, right,
Speaker 1: But there's something beautiful about people that come from places
Speaker 1: where they had to climb out of and rise out of.
Speaker 1: We're very similar in that regard. We both do what
Speaker 1: we had. We did what we had to do to
Speaker 1: get to where we had to get it built character. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so struggle. We both appreciate struggle, and we don't appreciate
Speaker 1: people who don't appreciate struggle because I'm like, you don't
Speaker 1: don't know struggle, You don't really know adversity. I can't
Speaker 1: even hang out with you. Yeah, I can't. I just can't.
Speaker 1: And I was liking it to boxing. I like, everybody
Speaker 1: thinks they're gonna be good at this, and the first
Speaker 1: time you get cracked on the john, you feel your
Speaker 1: legs go wobbling and the birds are singing around your head.
Speaker 1: You go, wow, why did I do this? It's the
Speaker 1: same with comedy, the first time you get boot off stage,
Speaker 1: when you find out are you going to do this more?
Speaker 1: Or you're gonna quit? How was that? It was? It
Speaker 1: made me stronger because it made me realize, don't let
Speaker 1: that happen again. The same thing with boxing, though that
Speaker 1: I just dropped my right hand. Remind me to keep
Speaker 1: my right hand up next time. Right, But you're not
Speaker 1: you're not in a on a on a stage though, well,
Speaker 1: you're more sort of people are watching you. But but
Speaker 1: people didn't pay to come watch you box. Yeah right
Speaker 1: here you're hoping to have like a career of sorts.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, So I would imagine, but the first time
Speaker 1: is the worst time, is it? Yeah? Because you're like wow,
Speaker 1: and you know, you play it back in your head
Speaker 1: and you realize it was you, it wasn't them. But
Speaker 1: sometimes but you also got to know you who you're
Speaker 1: playing to. Yeah, And I was green. I was it
Speaker 1: was four years into the stand up. Then it was
Speaker 1: ninety nine. You know, I've been doing the thirty two years.
Speaker 1: So like at that time, I was like this and
Speaker 1: my mouth went completely dry, and I remember thinking in
Speaker 1: my head like it felt it felt the exact same
Speaker 1: as it felt like that, because I remember it felt
Speaker 1: like a dream sequence when it was happening, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: get me out of here. My head, I'm like, get
Speaker 1: you get out of here, ron retreat, get out of here.
Speaker 1: And I just peace and I walked off, and I
Speaker 1: remember I wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry because
Speaker 1: I'm like, you look like a bigger bitch at that point.
Speaker 1: So I'm like I just sat there like numb. I
Speaker 1: was like, but now you probably got ace cars that
Speaker 1: you know that you pull out. Well, now now you
Speaker 1: know if it's you were not at that time, I
Speaker 1: knew it was me. But now now the further you
Speaker 1: get into it, you know when it's them, and you know,
Speaker 1: and you also know where you went wrong. You all
Speaker 1: get point pinpoint. But right there is where I made
Speaker 1: the wrong turn. No, it just wasn't ready. It was
Speaker 1: I was opening for the Far Side, um, and they
Speaker 1: were hot as hell at the time. That had passed
Speaker 1: me eye out and it was in Toronto, was my hometown.
Speaker 1: And I'm a hip hop guy. But you know, the
Speaker 1: scene doesn't really know me. That nobody knows I'm nobody
Speaker 1: at the time. And I had had this baseball jersey
Speaker 1: made to wear on stage. I said, strictly hip hop,
Speaker 1: and it was. It was cream and red and I
Speaker 1: wore these red jeans with it. And uh, and here's
Speaker 1: why I made the first mistake. I got this dope
Speaker 1: jersey made and then I tucked it in my pants
Speaker 1: like like it was a shirt. And so I walked
Speaker 1: down on he was like this clown. And then and
Speaker 1: then from there, you know, just bam, bamboo boo boo,
Speaker 1: get on and I and thinking back, had I had
Speaker 1: more experience in the comedy world. I could have won
Speaker 1: them over, but I was just so I had not
Speaker 1: had that happened. I had no real adversity happened in
Speaker 1: the comedy world at that point. So, so how do
Speaker 1: you go about going on the second time? And what's
Speaker 1: the fear factor like on that second time? Well, no,
Speaker 1: you know where you went wrong. You you realize what
Speaker 1: you did wrong and you and you don't do that again.
Speaker 1: It's the same in boxing, try to correct that mistake,
Speaker 1: the same martial arts, you know, and you and you
Speaker 1: and I bombed in front of people. I wanted to
Speaker 1: not bomb in front so so so the stage is
Speaker 1: got to be way higher. Yeah, but again, still nobody
Speaker 1: knows who I am. I've not done any TV. I
Speaker 1: you kind of a clean slate so to speak. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you have the personal experience now. And there's no Internet.
Speaker 1: I mean there's no There literally was no internet yet
Speaker 1: at that time, there was no knew that I knew.
Speaker 1: And that's where you didn't That's where you dig into yourself.
Speaker 1: So did you So did you go back and you
Speaker 1: put it back to get like I don't do there?
Speaker 1: Did you modify the routine No, it wasn't even it
Speaker 1: wasn't even the act. It was visual, it was tone,
Speaker 1: it was all the things you don't pay attention to.
Speaker 1: And that's when I became more aware of what I'm
Speaker 1: wearing on stage and how I'm wearing it. And you know,
Speaker 1: I still pride myself and how I dressed when I
Speaker 1: go on stage. Okay, I smells your food. Was the Muju.
Speaker 1: He's the new the new face of Ramen. She is.
Speaker 1: They don't don't make puppy Roman. They probably do, probably
Speaker 1: make everything for everyone now they because people get offended.
Speaker 1: Oh she's coming around, her, she's coming around. All right,
Speaker 1: let's wrap this up. Um, thanks so much, Clifton, thank you,

Speaker 1: he that guy or is he this guy? Because he
Speaker 1: plays them both really well. Which guy is this guy,
