00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: of the podcast Doctor's Real Friends. Um, we're in a

25
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: Hunda Tu song. Thank you to Hunda for sponsoring this

26
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: uh episode of our show. And we came up with

27
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: this really cool idea to do an episode where we

28
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: drive around Hollywood and talk about some places that really

29
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: influenced me and Donald's lives while Inwood. Yes, and we're

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: starting in the valley where where Donald lives now. And

31
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: we're not gonna say the street that so if you

32
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: said the valley, it's pretty hard to find you in

33
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: the valley. But Donald lives or may not live in

34
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: the valley. Um and um, so what year let's start.

35
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: Let's start at the very beginning. I don't know what

36
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: it was that I moved out here. I'm gonna be

37
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: honest with you, Like, I just know they were too high. No,

38
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I was like in my twenties,

39
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: like I was three. I knew it was. I know

40
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: it's right, it's just been so long, Like I've lived

41
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: here longer than I lived in New York. I grew

42
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: up in New York, born and raised in New York,

43
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: and so when I moved out here, I was like,

44
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I want to say I was high,

45
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: but I was very young, and I've been here longer

46
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: than I lived in New York for it, and so

47
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you the exact year. Like if you

48
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: asked me what year Rocco was born, I just learned

49
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: that it was two thousand. Really, yeah, he's the one

50
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: that teaches me that ship. That's the crazy feel that

51
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: you've smoked away that part of your memory. Yeah, all right,

52
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: I smoked away a lot of ship, dude. You do

53
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: some memory exercises that today. I couldn't remember short ribs

54
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: for some reason, Like that's the word. I was like,

55
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: what kind of ribs are those? They're beef but they're

56
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: like they're not beef ribs, but they're not. And I

57
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: was like, flank ribs. That's so cool when that comes

58
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: up like that. I tried to tell you all, when

59
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: you signal in your dashboard, the camera on the side

60
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: shows you what's on your side, All right, next time,

61
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: you sure of that because I've never seen that before.

62
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: That's really that is honestly very cool. That's very cool

63
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: because I'm always worried about my blind spot. M hm.

64
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, worry about your blind spot.

65
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna never worry about I never worry about my blonds.

66
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: It's going to be a good You know what this

67
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: reminds me of in swingers when they're like hard but

68
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: then right before they get to Vegas, Vegas, Vegas And

69
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: that's not Vegas either where they shot it, no where

70
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: they where they The first lights that you see when

71
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: you're going towards Vegas isn't Vegas. It's Barstow, isn't it. Yeah? Um,

72
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: well that's pretty cool. I like that. This is pretty.

73
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is meant to be like a family car.

74
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty. It's pretty sexy. You look pretty. You look

75
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: pretty hot driving it. I'm not gonna lie it. You

76
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: look good. Thank you very much, guys, because I realized

77
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you can have it's a family car,

78
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: but it's me for sexy dads like you. So do

79
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: you even look at your mirror? You always look at

80
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: your marriage. But you know what you had me thinking.

81
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: I was thinking, like you know, because you know you're

82
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: not like the greatest driver in the world. And I

83
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: was thinking about how happy I was that the Tucson

84
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: has all these safety features. Excuse me, where did you

85
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: get that? I'm not the greatest driver. I think you're

86
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: a good driver, but you're not necessarily like the greatest.

87
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: I disagree with you. So I was happy that the

88
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: tuc has all these You think you're the greatest driver.

89
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: I am. I am the greatest to take this Tucson

90
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: on the track? You know what it is? I feel

91
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: like I'm Peter Quill and your rocket Raccoon. Do you

92
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: know who they? I don't know what that means. It's

93
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: like he's the captain, but you think you're the captain,

94
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: and then you guys probably over whose ship? This really is?

95
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: Like Chewy and Han Chews we complains a lot like

96
00:05:52,400 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: you let me drive good. I feel like, isn't that

97
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: what he's saying? And probably probably? But do you never

98
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: hear Hans say anything like you know, well shut up

99
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: if you think you can do so much better than

100
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: do it. You never hear Hans say that. So I

101
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: don't know if Chewi complains about driving. I think Chewi.

102
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: Do you think Chewy likes working for Han. Yeah, they're

103
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: best friends. Now is Hans pay Chewy? No, they make

104
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: equal money. So whenever they do an assignment they get

105
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: they split it. I mean, let's think about it. We

106
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: don't need clothes, so it doesn't have to pay for that.

107
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: Does Chewi Pooh? Most certainly you never see Chewi Pooh.

108
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: You don't see anybody can in Star Wars, but he's

109
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: never like I think the Mandalorians the first time we

110
00:06:52,240 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: ever saw a toilet in Star Wars. Star Wars in

111
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: your podcast? Um, all right, so Donald, tell us a

112
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: little more about your You don't remember the year you

113
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: came out? How long until you got a part? I

114
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: came out the part. So this was California, so much

115
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: earlier than I moved right, And my mom was like,

116
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: my mom kept telling me that's a mistake. All you're

117
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: gonna do is get there and you're not gonna have

118
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: any money and you'll be back because of that for

119
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: the confidence. Mom she was like, when you go to California,

120
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: you should go because the job brings you there. And

121
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, fine. So the goal was how

122
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: can I get a job that shoots in l A.

123
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: And so when Clueless happened and they were talking about

124
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: making the television show. I remember thinking, this is my

125
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: way out, this is my way out the Clueless movie.

126
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: You were still living in New York? Yes, And where

127
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: did you shoot the Clues movie? In Los Angeles? So

128
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: you came out to shoot that but then moved back

129
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: to New York, right, And at that point I made

130
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: friends with Seth Green and breck and Meyer. Where did

131
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: you live while you're making a Cluss movie? At the

132
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: uh smoked it away? No? I didn't smoke it away.

133
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: I just don't know the name of it. But it's

134
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: right off of La Saga. Okay, so the apartment or something. Yeah,

135
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: it was like an apartment slash hotel. But I've made

136
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: friends with Breckon and Seth already, and so I was like,

137
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, I would, I would telling the audience that

138
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Donald was merging onto the one on one was dangerous

139
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: highways in the world. You're getting on the freeway? Is

140
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: that so? But I'm not Stacy Dash? But can you

141
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: turn around into your screen face? No doing to the

142
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: camera the most famous car screen ever? Where did you

143
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: shoot that on the One on one? No? That was shot?

144
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: You know there's this. You know where the Aquarium of

145
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: the Pacific is, there's a little private freeway over there,

146
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: and we shot him on that down Yeah, well there's

147
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: never any cars on it. Old trivia for you. I

148
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: did a pilot that didn't come out. But the seven

149
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: ten Freeway, which is a big free they were building,

150
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: stopped for political reasons and all sorts of Michigas. They

151
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: weren't able to finish it. So for like a mile,

152
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: it just goes and then dead ends, and they rented

153
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: to film productions to use because it's a mile of

154
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: freeway that's a dead end. I think that's where we

155
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: shot this, and that's where a lot of the Aquarium

156
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: of the Pacific. Maybe it's the same thing, but I

157
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: just know that a lot of people um have shot

158
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: there before because it's this kind of because of whatever

159
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: politics happened, they just they dead end and they couldn't

160
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: keep building it, and so it's like a mile of

161
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: freeway you can use for shoots. Where they shot the

162
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: opening scene of Lala Land. No, that was an actual freeway,

163
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: which is wild to me. Yeah, they actually shut down

164
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: a freeway to shoot the opening. They did that, But

165
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: Donald start Land, we could turn this into a podcast

166
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: that also visits Lala Land locations. We're gonna grip with

167
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: observatory and show so that. So that looked like it

168
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: was gonna happen, and when it did, they gave me

169
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars to move to Los Angeles and with

170
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: that five thousand dollars, I got the apartment that were

171
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: It's funny that I got the exact theme on money

172
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: from my parents to come out here. We both started

173
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: with five grand and nothing else, nothing else. That was

174
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: it five brands. And it wasn't like I had the

175
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: comfort of thing like I can always ask my parents,

176
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: because like, no, they just gave me five grands. That

177
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: was my only source of being able to hit up

178
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: anybody for extra money was my parents, and they had said,

179
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: here's five grand and I put it all into getting

180
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: a car. I had to get a used car. Yeah,

181
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: I've rented a car when I rented cars when I

182
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: first got out here, cuse I thought that would be cheaper.

183
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: And then it wasn't cheaper anymore because some lady on

184
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: the street that we're about to go to had a

185
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: heart attack while driving. My car was parked out in front.

186
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: I'll never forget this. I had just come back from

187
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: playing paintball with my buddy Meach and I was showering

188
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: and Meach was playing this back when Nintendo with the

189
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Cube was out right. Yeah. So he's playing fucking Bond

190
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: on that ship, practicing uh and it's fun. He knocks

191
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: on the fucking door and I'm like, dude, what the heck?

192
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm in the shower and he goes, yo, I think

193
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: somebody just hit your car. And I was like what.

194
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: And so I go out and there's this you know,

195
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: old white lady. Well, I think this might be quicker

196
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: than because then we got to get off one because

197
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: it's Sunday. Um and she's like in the street like uh,

198
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: and the cops are there and she's like, oh god,

199
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: and it was It's it's so long ago. I was

200
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: so new to Los Angeles that I still had my

201
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: uh license. What's that somebody's coming up on that? That's interesting.

202
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: That's good stuff. Assholes like that that speed up when

203
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: you're freaking trying to turn. I know, that's the one.

204
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Tucson just gave you a warning

205
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: that that guy was over there. Thank you, Thank you,

206
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: Tucson give it up. Pet anyway, you know, Pet, come

207
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: down and so and so I walked outside and she's,

208
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: you know, faint. She's like, oh God, I'm so my

209
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: heart And it was so long ago. I was no,

210
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: the cops were already there. I'm so of Los Angeles

211
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: that I still have my uh my Springfield where I

212
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: got my I got my license at Springfield, Massachusetts, because

213
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: I kept failing in New York. So I was like,

214
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: let me go to Springfield. There's too much data coming in.

215
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: You couldn't get your license in New York, so you

216
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: went to Massachusetts. No, that's wrong, I take that back.

217
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: I never heard anyone leaving the states getting as I

218
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 1: got it in I got. I got my license in

219
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: uh in New York. But I don't know how this

220
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: worked out. I had I stayed with my grandfather for

221
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: like a summer, just hanging out with him in Springfield.

222
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: And while I was in Springfield, instead of getting a

223
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: New York license, I got a Springfield license because I

224
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: just used his address, like I had already passed the

225
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: test and all I needed to show with proof that

226
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: I did that and if I if I'm correct, But

227
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: I had a Springfield license, right and I bought my

228
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: car in Springfield also, so I'm so new to California

229
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: that I still have that license. And there was this

230
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: one cop I don't know her name, but she would.

231
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: She was notorious for telling people, come on, now, you've

232
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: lived out here long enough, it's time for you to

233
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: get your license. Like she did the beat in Hollywood

234
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: and pulled over everybody and actors from all over the

235
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: country who never updated their license, right, and she's like,

236
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: you've lived here long enough, donald's time to get your

237
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 1: new license. But like she was notorious in Hollywood. So

238
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: when she when I handed her my license, I was like,

239
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: here we go and she said it and I was like, um,

240
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: I had to pay for the car that this lady

241
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: hit what because for some reason I thought I don't

242
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: need to get insurance on it because I was like

243
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: an extra however amount a month, how much it costs.

244
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: It's something like it was a Vovo too, so something

245
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: like grand or something like that, something like that, and

246
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: I had to pay for it. I think we brought

247
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: it down to we got it down to fourteen grand.

248
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: And I remember I was doing the television show at

249
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: the time, and it was the whole check like literally

250
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: the whole check. It was like, you know, because first

251
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: of all, a lot of people don't know this, but

252
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: when you started television show and you don't really have

253
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: that many credits, they don't pay you that much money.

254
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: And they didn't pay me that much for Clueless for

255
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: the whole run, and I remember thinking, damn the whole check,

256
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: and uh, I only get twenty two a freaking season,

257
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, and I paid for the car. Wow, that's

258
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: a big hit. No, no punt intend remember get the

259
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: cute farmers market people's market earlier this morning. I remember

00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: opening the trunk because that was the only thing, Like,

261
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,840

00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: of your faces and everything was in text. And I

265
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: was like, I remember you went through a mega paintball phase. Yeah,

266
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: I've gone through several paintball phases where it was like,

267
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: what I like, we should do a fake Doctor's Real

268
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: Friends paintball. Oh my gosh, you are talking my line

269
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: lounge and they just get the coffee sparkling water and

270
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: hit an observation deck and yeah, well you got that.

271
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: Let me tell the year should be like popping people

272
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: from a really good shot. Thought you are shooting age

273
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: actually actual gun. That's fine. I don't need from you here.

274
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: You could post up on like a lookout tower and

275
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: just pick people off. Okay, you know what if I

276
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: could be a sniper in a paintball game, then yes,

277
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: very that's very My paintball phase was so big that

278
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: at one point me and my boy Dion Richmond but

279
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: from the Cosby Show, we're invited to were invited to

280
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: join a team. Yeah, and it got when when we

281
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: realized we weren't going to do it. When they were like,

282
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: so we have practice, and we were like, there's such

283
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: a thing as you're talking about. Absolutely, you're talking about practice.

284
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: But it wasn't just us, like be real from Cypress Hill,

285
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: him and him and him and the whole gang. They

286
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: I think they were like the soul Assassins or something

287
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: like that. They were and they were freaking paint That

288
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: was their paintball team. I played paintball with Will Smith

289
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: because of it, Like yeah, dude, oh god, look here's

290
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: a crazy ship. Why didn't you only play with famous

291
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: black people? Well, it sounds like the best way into that.

292
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: It's just said, when you start playing paintball, you start

293
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: getting invited. People here about this and start inviting you out.

294
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: So Will Smith plays paintball and we were like, I

295
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: remember all of us were like, yeah, we're going to

296
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: play with Will. Oh, We're gonna suck Will you know,

297
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: suck him up, like singing songs about how we were

298
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: going to destroy Will Smith. Right, He's like, he's just

299
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: like the characters in the movie It's probably Sup and

300
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: he's jumping over barrels and ship doing rolls and stuff,

301
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: busting shots like it literally looked like it was the movie.

302
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: My experience of paintball is like, if you go there

303
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: and rent one of their guns, you've done because the

304
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: people who you're playing with, like Donald, are all kidded

305
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: out with the latest stuff, and I was just getting

306
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: destroyed because people were so into it. I was playing

307
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: with people like you're saying Will Smith and you apparently

308
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: I remember seeing I remember seeing that and being like,

309
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: holy cow, this dude is just like he is in

310
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: the movie. That's amazing, Like I really wanted that would

311
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: be a fun thing to do together, so well, you

312
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: can post up. It's just really hot right now, that's

313
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: the only thing you got to put on all the

314
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: clothings make so you don't get it really hurt that bad.

315
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: It hurts. It was like an air gun can't worse

316
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: than that my body from paintball shots twenty years ago.

317
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. Damn Really, people, isn't like

318
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: frozen paintballs or something, you know, just some of it

319
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: was close range. A lot of you know what I mean, frozen?

320
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: What's that that that's that's a that's a very illegal

321
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: thing that people do, which is really dangerous, is they'll

322
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: freeze their paintballs because they hurt a lot more, but

323
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: they also travel a lot better and they don't cause yourself.

324
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: It's so it's it's it's very messed that. I thought

325
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: it was harder for it to travel because the paint's

326
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: frozen on one side and then the other side isn't interesting.

327
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just for preservation purposes. Have you seen this

328
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: new water gun thing that has little water pellets. There's

329
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: some hybrid water gun thing that's like the new craze I.

330
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't even think they're available because they're sold out.

331
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: But it's like it's like paintballs, but they're little and

332
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: they're filled with water and so you can like blast

333
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: your friends. I don't think they I don't think they

334
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: don't hurt for kids, So I don't think they hurt.

335
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: Like like a like a paintball gun, right, paintballs called

336
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: no I love that. My mom would not when my

337
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: prime paintball phase, my mom was like, you're not getting

338
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: a paintball gun. She's like, when you're eighteen, then you

339
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: can buy your own paintball gun. And of course at

340
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: that point I was in college and had no money,

341
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: and it was like, well, I can't spend five dollars

342
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: pall when I was a kid. Yeah, for a good one.

343
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to get gas, you want

344
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: to get the hopper, all the things that you need

345
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: point yeah, the CEO two to make it. Actually they

346
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: see the CEO two or now can you have that automatic?

347
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: Like whatever? Oh, and you're allowed to play with people

348
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: that don't know that you originally weren't. And then all

349
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, people's hands got so much fast. What

350
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: they automatic, what they made is they made this this

351
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: special two finger triggers that has what's called ramping on it.

352
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: And if it's of senses that you're starting to pull

353
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: the trigger really fast. It just changes to automatic. It's

354
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: fits something like sixty freaking and then or you could

355
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: get the kind of fits like two exactly two. Those

356
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: are the real ones, the bad ones. We're driving through

357
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: Laurel Canyon Boulevard and which is most one of the

358
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: most beautiful parts of l A. I think. And Donald,

359
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: you used to live around the corner from here. I did,

360
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: and this is where we used to come over and

361
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: play poker at your house. And Donald was a bachelor

362
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: and he had the most baller house. He had an arcade,

363
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: he had a theater. Now, he had he in the

364
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: in the living room where there was just a poker

365
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: table with arcade games. And Casey moved and he had

366
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: his all his all his Star wars Um animation stuff

367
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: set up in the dining room, right don't And Casey

368
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: moved in. She's like, okay, this is gonna get and

369
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: we're taking this. It was the ultimate bachelor pad, like

370
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: it was. The whole house was a main cave. Was awesome.

371
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: It's a magical yep. I remember, I still love the canyonmen.

372
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: If Casey would have said, let's move back, it would

373
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: be the happiest day in my life. It's a special place,

374
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: special place in my heart. And um one of our

375
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: favorite restaurants. UM. We're gonna be passing soon. It's the

376
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: only restaurant in Laurel Canyon. UM. And you think one

377
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: of the odds that it was a really good restaurant,

378
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: But it's this very rustic Italian restaurant that's really good food.

379
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: You guysn't ever been there. Out to you, it's amazing,

380
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: you know. On a serious note, I've been reading UM

381
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: just started. Amanda includes his book a book coming out

382
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: she wrote about her story about the insanity of what

383
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: happened in Nick. It's called Live Your Life, UM. For

384
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: your listeners, if you want to get it. It's on

385
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: true Utter now. And I gotta say I was prepared

386
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: to read the book and just just I was not

387
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: expecting anything. But Amanda's a really good writer, and she

388
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: kept such she and her sister kept such journals and

389
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: of course all of her communication with all her friends

390
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: and family. And it had me like crying yesterday. It's

391
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: so beautifully told and so emotional, and it's just so

392
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: insane when you think when you look back at the story,

393
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's it's you. You just kind

394
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: of get used to it. Life goes on. But in

395
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: her retelling of the story, it's just so powerful and

396
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: it all takes place here, um in um look at that.

397
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: So this is the Canyon store right here. Yeah. Yeah,

398
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: and I guess they're they're doing a round. There's there's

399
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: a thing like a there's a bake off or something

400
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: is this, Yeah, this is there, and then underneath right there.

401
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: Oh and it's really really really undernea. Yeah. I've seen

402
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: that a bunch of times. Never been it's really beautiful

403
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: of delicious food. And that used to be the go

404
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: to pizza. You wouldn't order from, like you wouldn't order

405
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: from any of the other pizza restaurants. You'd order from there.

406
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: And like when you moved. When I moved out of

407
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: the Canyon and had to get pizza from like other

408
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: pizza restaurants, nothing compares, there was something that was just

409
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: so good, Like the crust was just right on point.

410
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: I think it's the best pizza in l A. Really. Yeah.

411
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's not not not like it's not like

412
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like New York Street pizza or

413
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: like it's like if you like like that that rustic,

414
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: it's like a wood fire pizza. Okay, cool, great, I've

415
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: been trying a lot more wood fire pizza. So Dary,

416
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: you should definitely take your gal there on a date.

417
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: It's so romantic, brother, I will not only not only that,

418
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: not only that they have a special pizza, Like first

419
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: of all, the whole menu was just ridiculously. First of all,

420
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: the menu is all healthy, like there's mostly healthy foods

421
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: on right, But then every month they have a specialty

422
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: pizza and I remember one month it was truffles and

423
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: that pizza cost like a hundred stocks. It was delicious.

424
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: You know what my restaurant to our friends told me

425
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: about truffles. He said that people pay all this money

426
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: or the truffles, but that's not only what they want.

427
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: What they want is the truffle oil. That's what it was.

428
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 1: But bro, if you're puff bucks, there slice in the truffle.

429
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: And he says, it's the biggest scam in the world

430
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: because we get in there, you're gonna spoil ourselves to

431
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: get the trouble because that's not even the taste that

432
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: you like. The taste you like is the oil, which

433
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: are there you go, I've given you hot tip. I

434
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: got another hot all right, listen, y'all, this has nothing

435
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: to do with driving around l in the car. But

436
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: I get another tip. Do if you have a house

437
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: and there's birds shipping all over your deck or your

438
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: porch or your yard, and you're like so frustrated that

439
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: it's covered with bird poop, I got you. You gonna

440
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: come clean and hook I will come email, I will

441
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: come with a our washroom. No, you go on the

442
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: interwebs and you buy a yellow tailed hawk decoy. Do

443
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: not get the owl that you sometimes see, because birds

444
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: know that owls are nocturnal and they don't give a

445
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: crop no pun intended. You get a yellow yellow tailed

446
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: hawk decoy and you put it out there. You gotta

447
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: put a little weights in it because that wise the

448
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: wind blows it over. I've done the testing for you. Okay,

449
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: fill it up with some old coins. There you go,

450
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: very okay, This this hawk probably cast fifteen bucks on Amazon.

451
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna fill it with some pennies. Bam. Birds are

452
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: like I that I'm not going there's a freaking hawk there.

453
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: You think I'm gonna sit there and poop solves it

454
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: like that that is your pro tip from Zach Rathabo.

455
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,879

00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: keep it down. That doesn't work, and that didn't This

572
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: is the kind of complex where if they're not down,

573
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be pissed because you're all right on top

574

00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: he couldn't he couldn't find the beat to save his life.

580
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,760

00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: I think I gave him gift baskets, wrote very sweet notes,

598
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: and this lady put in my mailbox Staple on the

599
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: other side of the sweet note I had written. She

600

Speaker 1: flipped it over had written in block handwriting, I will

601
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,440

00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: she stapled the local noise ordinance rules to piece of

603
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: paper and put it back from my mailbox. Jerk, I

00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: came to set up a tent for Donald's wedding. She

607
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: called the police on them hitting the fucking steaks into

608
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: the ground. The police are not your personal security for

609
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: it's just like a waste of waste of got to

610
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: come out up to a complaint about hammering a steak

611
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: in the ground. I missed this place, man, we used

612
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: to have. There was another dude that lived here who

613
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: worked in like in that Brother's arm whatever. That World

614
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: War two movie he was on that that was his.

615
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: He hadn't done it yet, but so he was just

616
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: starting to. He moved to Hollywood the same reason way

617
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: I did. And uh, several year a few years later,

618
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: banda Brothers came out and he was one of the

619
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: leads on it. Let's sake, we'll be right back after

620
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: these fine words. All right, So now we're gonna go

621
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: to my the first place I stayed when I was

622
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Now you stayed here, Now what was

623
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: your deal? You moved here? I remember you moving here

624
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: with a girl is there? Let me tell you the story. Um,

625
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: I went to Sundance for the very first time, and

626
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: I like fell madly in love with a woman that

627
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:38,479
Speaker 1: I met at Sundance. And she was the prettiest woman

628
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: I had ever met. And she at the time, and

629
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: she was just so cool and it was so exciting.

630
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: What did she do for a living? She worked, um,

631
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: the Disney lot for a producer. And I didn't have

632
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: a car, I didn't have a dime. So I was

633
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: in a movie, my first great part called Gay you

634
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: Know You, with Michael West and and Heather moder Razzo,

635
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: and we went to Sundance, which is a big deal.

636
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: And while there I met this woman and she was

637
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 1: just I was just like drop jog and we really

638
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: hit it off. But she was here and I was

639
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: in New York and we were gonna try and do

640
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: the long distance thing and and um, so she lived

641
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: in this house with two other guys. One was an actor,

642
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: and one eventually became a very successful agent. But they

643
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: were like, you know, all roommates in this duplex and um,

644
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: and it was really I I came out here with

645
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: with no money. It was really stressful because I just

646
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: didn't I wanted to I wanted to like impress her

647
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: and have her stay interested in me, but I just

648
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: had no money. I had didn't have a car, I

649
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: didn't have a cell phone. This was like right at

650
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: the beginning of cell phones, and I certainly couldn't afford one,

651
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: and so I and she was like living in the

652
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: small back room like I think this one day was

653
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: probably like the maids quarters back in the day of

654
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: the house. It was like, I swear to you it was.

655
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: She was Invincent's quarters. She was Invincent's quarters. It was

656
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: like her bedroom. I'm not exaggerating. Her bedroom was basically

657
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: the size of a king sized bed and she had

658
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: like a double bed in there, and we crammed in there.

659
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: I had nowhere to put my stuff, so I would

660
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: like and I did. I was so worried that her

661
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: fellow roommates would be mad because I was like there

662
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: without without paying any rent. And they certainly were not

663
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: too into it um at all understood. I don't know

664
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: if you ever been in that position, but like, I

665
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: was trying to hide where my clothes were, and I

666
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: remember one of the roommates came in, he was actually

667
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: paying rent, and he was like, yeah, that spot where

668
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: you're keeping your clothes and I was like yeah, he goes, yeah,

669
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's gonna need to have that spot for her clothes.

670
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, okay, So I pulled all

671
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: my clothes out of that one little spot I found,

672
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the next day, all

673
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: her closer. She took my nook, she took up, she

674
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: took my clothes up. That dude, that dude's kind of

675
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: a bitch though for saying that ship well, but I

676
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: mean putting yourself into his position. He was paying the

677
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: most random sure, because he had the nicest room. And

678
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: here I am this guy, I'm using his house, I'm

679
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: using his kitchen, I'm you know, I'm in his space

680
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not paying any rent. Yeah, but neither was

681
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: his girl. I know, but he probably justified like, yeah,

682
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: but I don't care, I'm paying rent, you're not. I

683
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: don't know. Anyway, he's a nice guy. But I'm sure

684
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: he is a nice guy, but that was I remember

685
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: him telling me like one time, this is the kind

686
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: of guy he was. He is a lovely guy actually,

687
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: but but I think his tensions for having me in

688
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: the house were growing. And he opened the fridge and

689
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: I was in the kitchen. He goes, who He's putting

690
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: low traffic items in the high traffic spot of the refrigerator,

691
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, what He's like, there was no

692
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: need for this mayonnaise to be at the forefront, in

693
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: the middle shelf. It is not used often. It needs

694
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: to go in the back, like like, well, you can

695
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: fix that yourself. The energy Also, I think a few

696
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: times like I didn't know where to poop because I

697
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: knew wanted proving her bathroom right, because then you're embarrassed

698
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: that you dunk it up, right. So then I would

699
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: when those guys were and I would go and poop

700
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: in their backs, but they but they didn't have the

701
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: toilet brushes, and sometimes I would leave a few streaks.

702
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: I remember her home. So my girlfriend calls me. She's like,

703
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: hey's just talking about something. I'm like, you never want

704
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,479
Speaker 1: to hear that. She's like, um, some of the guys

705
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: are saying that you're streaking up their bowl might as well.

706
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: It was so embarrassing anxiety. Ever since then, I always

707
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: make sure that there's a tweather brush ready in case

708
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 1: streaks we are about to take. Many a night, when

709
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: drunk out of my mom before I got home Pinks,

710
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: Oh my gods, hot dogs, I always wondered, who's who's

711
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: lining up for Pinks? That was you've never had a

712
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: Pinks out? That was the delicious. They do a number

713
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: on your stomach too. But when I talk to the

714
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: Golden Apple Comic bookstore, the yea, I used to go

715
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: there too, So if you're not from l A, this

716
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: is a very popular tourist location which was closed for COVID,

717
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: but I was clearly back open. Oh yeah, they're they're

718
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: open open. It's Pinks hot Dogs. People line up. This

719
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: line is like very long. I didn't know the hot

720
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: dogs were happy. So one time Pink's Hot Dog did

721
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: a thing on scrubs and they let me have a

722
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: bunch of like if something like more than I could

723
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: possibly use before they would perish. And I remember being like, dude,

724
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: I got Pinks hot Dogs for days because I used

725
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: to love this place, and the people that came to

726
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: set remember me to check this out. But the lead

727
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: vehicle is driving away that in case you weren't paying attention,

728
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: like go and also look at that. It lets you know.

729
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 1: It calculates your attention level, and it's tell it's telling

730
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: Donald that his attention level is high. And it has

731
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: a little icond of coffee. That's so funny. I wonder

732
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: what it looks like when you're not bidding from the road.

733
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: I have yet to experience that one because I am

734
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: a very good driver's accrap and I can see that.

735
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: But it also this is also cool. The Tucson tells

736
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: you when your last break from driving was. That's wild.

737
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: So Donald, we've stopped for outside his apartment, so it

738
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: says it's been six minutes since his last breaks wild.

739
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: That's really that's a lot of attention to safety. Be

740
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: like you're going to the left lane, yes, look at

741
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: the camera comes up you guys see, Donalds won't hurt us.

742
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: I would like it if the Tucson told us it's

743
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: been six hands cold, told us it's been six minutes

744
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: since your last group to your friends. So cold. And

745
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,479
Speaker 1: then there's like an icon of like a sad face

746
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: that comes. I haven't rubbed your friend? Alright, alright, so um,

747
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: so I come out here and um, she lived fortunately

748
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: next to a Ralph's that we're going to pass if

749
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: you're not from an l A Ralph's is a very

750
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: popular supermarket and the way before Subway had the five

751
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: dollar foot long, Ralph's sold a giant sub that you

752
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: could have made. It would cost five bucks. And I

753
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: couldn't believe this. It was too good to be true

754
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: because I knew for five bucks I could have lunch

755
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: and dinner and um, and that's how I would eat

756
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: because I just I didn't have I didn't have a job.

757
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: Just cold cuts all day long. Well yeah, cold cuts

758
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: for lunch, cold cuts for dinner. What would you do

759
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: with the breakfast relationship? Skip breakfast? And that is why

760
00:42:52,560 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: was streaky buddy? Cold cuts? And god, um yeah, you're right. Okay,

761
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: So what happened? So I started to relationships started to

762
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: get really stressful because um, I hold on, they're gonna

763
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: make a left here on the second. Oh my god,

764
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: I really I'm gonna get emotional. I have not been

765
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: back here in been um since like two thousands. Welcome

766
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: back and it's in the same city. That's how big

767
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: l A is. By the way, you cannot go by

768
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: and by where you guys broke up. So yeah, so

769
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: I'll so. So basically I couldn't operate. You can't operate

770
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: in l A without a card. This is before Uber. Obviously,

771
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: now with Uber you can, but it's very hard to operate.

772
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: It was very hard to operate, um And so what

773
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: I would do is I would get up in the

774
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: morning and I would drive her to work. She worked

775
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: on the Disney lot, which we're gonna end with because

776
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 1: that's where you and I had some of our final

777
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: auditions for Scrubs. So I would get up, drive her

778
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: to work, and then i'd have the car to go

779
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: on audition or to you know, do a couple of things.

780
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: But with l A traffic, I didn't have that much

781
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: time before I had to pick her up a fun

782
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 1: yeah you know what I mean. Like, I certainly couldn't

783
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: be linked to three because she would scream at me.

784
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: So I had to I had to calculate the day, right,

785
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: because if I was going to have two auditions and

786
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: then like shower and like you know, do a handful,

787
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: maybe maybe work out I had to like then head

788
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: back to the valley to go to the couple more

789
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: blocks will be Yeah, I think it's the next block. Also,

790
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: there's a big Orthodox Jewish community over here because they

791
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: a lot of the Orthodox she was live here because

792
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: they can on the Sabbath when they don't drive, and

793
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: they can walk to their synagogues. Yeah, you beautiful neighbor.

794
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: This is like almost Hancock Park. It's a big difference

795
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: between my experience first experience here in your first well again, yeah, yeah,

796
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: but you sound like you had a smidgin more fun

797
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: than I did. Yeah, I was like doing CPR. Were

798
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: hard broken. So anyway, the relationship started getting really stressful

799
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: because she was never pleased with me, and I didn't

800
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: have any money, and we would like drive by a

801
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: billboard for something exciting, and she was like, oh, I

802
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: want to go see that, and I was just thinking,

803
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: like what am I supposed to say here? Like I

804
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: can't take you to that I can't afford. And I

805
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: started getting really insecure, because you know, she was she

806
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: was sort of increasing her resentment of me because I

807
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: couldn't do things. And I said the honest things like

808
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: if you want to do that, you can pay for

809
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: us to do that, but I I can't and I'm

810
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: so sorry I can't do that for you, but I

811
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: and she would kind of just roll her eyes and

812
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: it was really tricky, and I started. This is when

813
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: I started. I've never really spoke about this, but I

814
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 1: started getting panic attacks. Have you read a panic attack? Yeah,

815
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 1: like the time we have to be on the floor

816
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: and just it is the scariest thing. You're falling on

817
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: a roller coaster, you know. For me, it's imagine your

818
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: LUNGSTI eating up and you just can't get air now,

819
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: and then you're then so you're you're human self that

820
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: your adrenaline spikes because you think you're dying, and then

821
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: you start this loop in your head like I had

822
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: to call on amuals. I can't breathe, my lungs aren't

823
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: working long and then that makes you the long conic

824
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: and then it just circles and circles, and you think

825
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: you're dying. And especially the first time it happens, if

826
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: it's never happening before, you just can't get aaron your

827
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: lungs and you think you gotta call Amiultstaus you're dying.

828
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 1: What's happened is happening, so freaking scary. And that started

829
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: happening because of my my anxiety of being in this relationship.

830
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: And I'm not putting it all on the woman. It's

831
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: not all her responsibility. I was, I was, but you

832
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: were broken, Hollywood man, and you came out here because

833
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: of her, thinking that that that would save the relationship.

834
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: And and it didn't because when I got out of here,

835
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: the pressures were so strong, and I remember I was

836
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: doing homesick and I was calling, um, would you go

837
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: back to Jersey after that? So I was out here

838
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: and I would call on the landline. I would call

839
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: on her land line. Again. I didn't ever sell yet.

840
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: And she had a cell, I remember, and it was

841
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: sort of like it was a time when it was

842
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: kind of fancy to have a self and and she

843
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: would give it to me during the day, but I

844
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: didn't want to use it because it was expensive. But

845
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: I would call my family and friends on her land line.

846
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: And remember she got her landline long distance bill and

847
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: she was like, what is this and I think it

848
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: was like a hundred bucks or something, and I was like, oh,

849
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: I just you know, a bit homesick, just checking over Google.

850
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: She's like well, that's a lot of money. You should

851
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: you should reimburse me for this. And I was like, okay, yeah,

852
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: you're right, I'm sorry. So I remember I was giving

853
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: her the money for the landline usage. How are you

854
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: paying her from that when you had no money? That

855
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: turned tricks. I also never talked about this at the

856
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: Ralphs around the UM so UM. So then what happened

857
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: after that happed? So so we ended the relationship obviously,

858
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: it was just it was it was not healthy for

859
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: either one of us. And and then I moved in

860
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: with Michael Weston, UM, and I got it. I got

861
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: a job together. Yeah, Michael Weston and I did the

862
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: movie together. UM. And then I called an old friend

863
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: who was no. I didn't know Blania Banta. You guys

864
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: worked in college together, right. I knew it was an

865
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: acquaintance in college, but it wasn't until Broken Hearts Club

866
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: where the audition, where we got reacquainted and we became

867
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: friendly again. But so what happened The next place we're

868
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 1: gonna go to is UM where I waited tables. I

869
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: called an old friend. I had never waited on a

870
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: table in my life, but I knew there was a

871
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: hot there was a very hot restaurant in town called

872
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: Look Colonial. It was a French Vietnamese restaurant, and I

873
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: just happened to know a friend of my old friend

874
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: of mine was the manager. And I called her and

875
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: I said, look, I need your help. I have never

876
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: waited on the table, and I know this is a

877
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: very fancy restaurant, but I'm a bit destitute. I really

878
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: need a job. Please help me. And she did. She

879
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: brought me on. She said, you're gonna have to fake

880
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: it till you make it because I don't know anything.

881
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to use the computers. I didn't

882
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: know anything. And she, this woman really saved me and

883
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: I got a job at the restaurant. And and that's

884
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: when that's a good movie right there in itself too though,

885
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like that's like Swingers kind

886
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: of where you know you come, but every everybody's story

887
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: is very familiar to Swingers. That was what made that

888
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: movie so amazing. But it's like you move out to

889
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: Hollywood to become something that you dream about, and they

890
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: don't tell you about the crazy stuff that goes on

891
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: before that all happens. They don't tell you about being

892
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: broke and living in your girlfriend's house with two dickheads

893
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: who want you out, you know what I mean. They

894
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: don't tell you about a landlord or a fucking neighbor

895
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: who just wants to make your life a living hell.

896
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: They don't tell you about no dough and how it's

897
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: really hard to eat out here when you don't have money,

898
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: and yeah, there's always a light at the end of

899
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: the tunnel. Uh. You know, for me, it was for me,

900
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: it was clueless. For you, it was your friend that

901
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: worked at that was a manager at a restaurant. This

902
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: woman I'll never forget she saved me and she, um,

903
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 1: she put me on. And if y'all remember the opening

904
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: scene of Garden State or the opening sequence where I'm

905
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,240
Speaker 1: working in a French Vietmese restaurant, I was all based

906
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 1: on this real life experience. I already did put it

907
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: in a movie. Um yeah, but um, it was very

908
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: hard time because I I had never I was dealing with.

909
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: When even started attacks, it's it's like You're like, is

910
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: this going to be a part of my life? Like

911
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: how do I get this under control? And I really

912
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: had to start seeing the therapist to to start tackling

913
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: it because basically my anxiety kind of it's kind of

914
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: like the dam breaks and your anxiety reaches a point

915
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: for some people, I'm one of them, where you it's

916
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: like the damn broke. Like panic attacks are are are

917
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: a possibility now if you if you dip into red,

918
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: that's all you need is that little bit of a

919
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: little bit of a panic like one panic attack, and

920
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: then you'll have them for the rest of your life.

921
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: That's why it goes well, No, you just first of all,

922
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: you know how to prevent it from happening. You also

923
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 1: know how to handle it when it does happen. Um,

924
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 1: you gain a whole tool chest that you didn't have.

925
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: But it's like if you think about a car needle

926
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: going into red all of a sudden, it's like you

927
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: break through and there and you realize that that is

928
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: a possibility that that can happen to you, and so

929
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: you need to manage it, just like your car manages

930
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: changing gears. Right, Well, I mean you must have some

931
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: experience with this. Yeah, it would happen to me when

932
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: I was very broke, and I very similarly like came

933
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: out here also with five thousand dollars, which is strange yeah,

934
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: it was what was left over from the way. For

935
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: those of you listening, don't try to move to l

936
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: A with five grand. Now. It was done in like

937
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: six lasted six months. I didn't last that long. It

938
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: was very It was very chaotic and horrible, and I

939
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: was broke but fortunate enough to work in an industry

940
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: that was constantly shipping me around the world to cover

941
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: different events. But it was like my first time being

942
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: out on my own and it was a lot of

943
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: new things. But also when I landed, I didn't have

944
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 1: any money, so I was like, where are you feeding

945
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: the journalists? Like we have bagels here. I will eat

946
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: four bagels and that won't be like breakfast and lunch

947
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: and then we'll figure out dinner later. And so yeah.

948
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: When I was at uh TIP, which is Toronto International

949
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: Film Festival, I had been having like small panic attacks

950
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 1: where it's like, okay, I can I can just really

951
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: breathe and work on it and get through it. But

952
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: I had overbooked myself and I was doing red carpets

953
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: for like the second time in my life, and those

954
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: are very stressful as a journalist, and uh I had

955
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: a pang attack so bad. I had to like I

956
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: didn't know where I wasn't or how I was gonna

957
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: get back to my place, and I didn't have any money,

958
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: and I was like I couldn't inhale And luckily my

959
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: friend was like, well, my hotel is like two blocks away.

960
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: You make it. And I was like, just get me there.

961
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: We'll find out what happens. We got there, I just

962
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: lay on the floor and I just curled him into

963
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: the veto position. And luckily she has so many things,

964
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 1: so can she give me a counpin or something? And

965
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: that just knocked me out. It was so bad, like

966
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: they are. I wouldn't wish paying attacks on my worst enemy.

967
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 1: They just come out of nowhere and they're so debilitating.

968
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: But zex right, like once you get your tool kit

969
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: in order and you know, like, okay, it's happening, I

970
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: know how to work through it. Also, you're not gonna

971
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: die once once you have once your brain goes no,

972
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: you won't die from this, like calm down, um. But

973
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: the first time it happened, I remember I was in

974
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: a theater and I was sitting next to Oh, this

975
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,240
Speaker 1: is crazy, but I was sitting next to my acting professor,

976
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: David Downs, and I was taking. I had taken him

977
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: to see a play that I had seen in New

978
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 1: York and I really liked, and I wanted to show

979
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: it to him because it was it was a production

980
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: out here. Production out here was a totally different cast,

981
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: and it was not nearly as good. And we're sitting

982
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: in the audience, and I just I felt embarrassed. I

983
00:53:57,960 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: wanted to impress him that I had found a play.

984
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: He was like my my mentor that I that he

985
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: would really like. And he's one of those guys. My

986
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: dad was the same way, like when they don't like something,

987
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: they want to let you know. So there's a lot

988
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: of like my dad would do the same thing in

989
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: a movie theater. He wanted everyone to know him around

990
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: him that he did. It was not like in the movie.

991
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 1: It was so it's such an annoying trait my dad

992
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: like like not like NFL. But I remember my acting

993
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: teacher was sort of not vibing and was was doing

994
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: some sighing, and I just and I felt embarrassed. And

995
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: I knew the play wasn't as good as what I've

996
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 1: seen in New York, and I, of course the ingredients

997
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: were all there. I was already in an anxious state.

998
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: And I remember my lungs tightened up and I was like,

999
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't breathe. It was like someone was standing on

1000
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: my chest. And I was like, and and then then me,

1001
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: your brain does? What is your brain do? He goes

1002
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: you start playing it out, You go, oh my god,

1003
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: the animal is gonna have to come. I'm gonna be

1004
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: on a stretcher. All these people will be filtering at

1005
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: this theater seeing me on a stretcher. Oh my god,

1006
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: what is my professor going to think? And just start snowball? Snowball? Snowballing?

1007
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: That's called spiraling? How did you get out of that one?

1008
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: And now I'll tell you how I got out of it?

1009
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: Was a miraculous I was able to do it. But

1010
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: I had taken a few yoga classes and I was

1011
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: I was starting newly into getting in yoga, and a

1012
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: big part of yoga is quieting your mind and doing long,

1013
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: quiet breaths. And while watching this play quote quote unquote,

1014
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 1: watching I sat next to this dude and went into

1015
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: a yoga breath session where I was just slowing down

1016
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: my breath in and ah, And I fully I didn't

1017
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: know what it was. I didn't know it was a

1018
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: panic attack, but I talked myself down. When I was

1019
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: a kid, they used to take us to my parents

1020
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: and my aunts and uncles and everything like that. Used

1021
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: to take all of the kids to the ashram and

1022
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: in New York, and you know, there was this dude

1023
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: mud Nanda and this uh. When he passed away, his

1024
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: protege uh cool Ramaya took over. And I remember seeing

1025
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: people like you know, Lisa Bonet, like a bunch of

1026
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 1: actors and stuff there and what you would do literally,

1027
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: you would just go there and you would you know,

1028
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: either work as you know, labor on the at the ashram,

1029
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: or you would meditate. And I remember that, you know that.

1030
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: I remember when I first it was like, you're literally

1031
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: sitting there. Oh nahma sheva right. And so when I

1032
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: moved out to Los Angeles and my mom, being the

1033
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: awesome mother that she is, she gave me a cassette

1034
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,439
Speaker 1: of that. She's like, if ever you feel like you are,

1035
00:56:55,480 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: you know, not gonna make it, put the s on

1036
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: and just relax. And you know, so I would play

1037
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: that stuff. Wow. My cousins, my cousins still do that.

1038
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: My all of them do that. It's it's yeah, it's

1039
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: definitely chanting um yoga really um. By the way, if

1040
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: you're someone listening, who's who suffering from this? First and foremost,

1041
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: see see a qualified therapist. But also something that I

1042
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: think is I highly recommend is getting into yoga and

1043
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: meditation because that was the most valuable thing if you

1044
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: need it. Obviously there are medications that can help you,

1045
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: but the thing you can do right off the bat,

1046
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: even before you explore medications, is is taking yoga class. UM,

1047
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: get into meditation, which are many apps we talked about before.

1048
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: There's no shrum out here actually too, it's not the same.

1049
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: It's not the same people, and it's not the same chanting.

1050
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: But you're just literally like anything like that, anything that

1051
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: calms you down and gives you an opportunity to uh

1052
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: look inward. It really helps with a lot of stress

1053
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: and everything like that. Like I'd love to take my

1054
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: wife to something like that, but I fear that she'd

1055
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: freaking clown me, Like, Babe, let's go to the She's

1056
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: like the osher, what it was like, she'd be open.

1057
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: So anyway, there's the routes where I would eat Classic Rouse,

1058
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: Giant Petco. You used to shop at that raups. I

1059
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: still do. I used to live right around the corner.

1060
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: We would walk there. It was you want to go

00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 1: So we're driving now into West Hollywood. And so the

1071
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: restaurant this is where my next chapter of my Hollywood

1072
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: story began when I got a job of restaurant. The

1073
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: restaurant's gone now, it's now like a store. So this

1074
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: place right here, do you recall me trying to bring

1075
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: you here one night because we couldn't find a cloud

1076
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: to go to. And you brought me here and and

1077
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: you were like, this motherfucker is bringing me to where

1078
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: I used to work. Your words, was closed this place

1079
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: when I was working here, this was the hottest place

1080
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: in town. It was meant to be a restaurant. It's

1081
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: it's a it's a chain. There's there's chains, the wrong word.

1082
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: It's there. It's a very high end restaurant. But there

1083
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: were five of them across the country at the time,

1084
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: and this was the l a out post and it

1085
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: was very popular and it was meant to be this restaurant.

1086
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: But on the second floor was a bar, and the

1087
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: bar was the spot at the time. Did you come yeah, man,

1088
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: I remember I was broke, Okay, So after cluelessen in

1089
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: between scrubs, I had no money. I spent all my

1090
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: money on a house because I was having a I was,

1091
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: I had kids. I just had to two kids, Dote

1092
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: and Kaya were born, and so I spent all of

1093
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: his money to house myself and my girlfriend at the time,

1094
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: um so that we could live right. And my buddy

1095
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Jordan's used to always try and get me to

1096
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: go out because he was new. He was he was

1097
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: in Hollywood for about the same amount of time that

1098
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: I was, but he was trying to develop himself as

1099
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: a director and all that stuff, and so he would

1100
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: be like, yo, come out with me, come out with me.

1101
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: And one night he brought me here and I had

1102
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: no do. I think I had something like forty bucks

1103
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,479
Speaker 1: on me, so, you know, literally, and I remember my wife,

1104
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: my girlfriend at the time, being like, you know, you

1105
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: might need that for gas. This is okay, all right,

1106
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: And so we went out and I drank my forty

1107
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: dollars like that, and so I had to ask my

1108
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: buddy if he could buy me some drinks. But I

1109
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 1: remember being up in there and it was packed and

1110
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: it felt like we were sitting on the floor at

1111
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: one point, you know what. It was the spot and

1112
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,479
Speaker 1: I didn't really go upstairs because I was a waiter

1113
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: on the main floor, and um, it was very, very hard.

1114
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: I became very good friends with all of the people

1115
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: that worked here. You know, there's so much camaraderie when

1116
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: you're awaite staff and you're going through at the tables. Gosh,

1117
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: on a Saturday night, it was just insanity. And I remember,

1118
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: if you've ever waited tables, there's times when you have

1119
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: this computer and you you put in all the orders

1120
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: and you look at the table and it's you're so slams.

1121
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: You're in the weeds, as they say, and you're like,

1122
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, why does that table not have their

1123
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: appatizers yet, and then you look in the computer and

1124
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: you never put it because he would just so swam

1125
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: and mind you, I'd never done this before, and it

1126
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: is so hard in the beginning, well in the beginning, yeah,

1127
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: I've never done it. I mean to go from It

1128
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: wasn't like I was starting in like a slow diner.

1129
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: I was. I went from zero to a packed SNY

1130
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills restaurant, just like in the movie. I wore

1131
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: a beige tunic. I didn't do I make up, and

1132
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: we didn't have earpieces, but I added that. But one

1133
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: thing that is true from Garden State is that the

1134
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: manager would jokingly tell me in the movie, I'm it's

1135
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: actually George C. Wolf and he's being serious. But she

1136
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: would joke in something she would hold up head shots

1137
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: because people would try and get a job there by

1138
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: showing their head shot for some reason, and she'd be like,

1139
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: you see all these head shots every day. I get

1140
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,439
Speaker 1: these head shots. So if you're late again, I guess

1141
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: who's getting your job and hold up the head shot.

1142
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: And I put that in Garden State, he goes, George C.

1143
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: Wolf goes so and so from Duluth, Minnesota is going

1144
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: to get your job. Your retention level is still high.

1145
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: Um coffee, baby. I really want to look up in

1146
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: the manual what the other icons are. I really want

1147
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: to hit this parking button and see what this car does.

1148
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: You want to try to pay a little parkings somewhere. No,

1149
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to do it.

1150
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, but I kind of do.

1151
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: Let's go on the road. Oh my god, look at that.

1152
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: As he's backing up. I told you there's an it's there.

1153
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: They're fish hye lenses in the sides of the car.

1154
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: But looked, Daniel, that's from above. How could that possibly work?

1155
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: It come? It looks like that? Sure, looks at the wheels.

1156
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,959
Speaker 1: The wheels were a lot bigger than it looks because

1157
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: it's really just fish eye lenses that are just on

1158
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: the side of the car. Really. Yeah, that's incredible. I've

1159
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: never seen that in the car before. All right, So

01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: side of the red side? I got on this next

1211
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: block here, I really roll backwards? Um or did somebody

1212
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 1: roll back on you? I almost fell backwards a little bit.

1213
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh at the top of this is, by the way,

1214
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: this is the worst stick shift street intersection because it's

1215
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: because it's very steep, very we're last to get meat.

1216
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Sunset is advanced because the problem is is that people

1217
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 1: assume that you're in an automatic car these days and

1218
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: they pull up right behind you. So there's no room

1219
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: to roll back at all, and you gotta be you

1220
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: gotta be on it to which is weird, but a

1221
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: stick shift because even when you're on flat surfaces, it

1222
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: seems like it backs up for Yeah, but this is

1223
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: like this part of l is not too hilly, um,

1224
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: but right there is. That's a that's a tough intersection. Um.

1225
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: So we're now going to head to the Disney Yeah,

1226

01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,360

Speaker 1: l A. You've seen it on SNL in the California's

1253

01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: about how to navigate to the four old five got

1258
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 1: it's a sneaker garden. It's so this we're we're passing

1259
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: where where this is must be eight oh two nine sunset,

1260
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: right across from Blats and yeah. So if you're gonna

1261
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: follow our our journey one day, it's it's three doors

1262
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: down from Green Bats Deli. And that was the hotspot

1263
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 1: small nightclub that Donal and I used to go to.

1264
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: That's before you with Casey before hied y that was

1265
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 1: that was everywhere. Now it was real famous, it got

1266
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: real famous. But the original little one was there, and

1267
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: Donald and I gett into lots of high jinks hikes.

1268
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: Remember Jessica Simpson once came in wearing Daisy Dukes and

1269
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: a and a and a flannel to and I said

1270
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: to her, someone got to keep their wardrop. I thought

1271
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: it was funny, But Donald Crimson Casey might have someone

1272
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 1: got the keeper wardrobe hard well she was. She was

1273
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: dressed like like now that that always cracked me up.

1274
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Me and Donald showing up in scrubs. That's exactly what

1275
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: it would be like. Actually. All right, So since we're

1276
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: added to the Disney lot, let's talk about our experience.

1277
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: So when you're we've told you if you're avid listening

1278
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 1: to the podcast about Something's before. But at the very

1279
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: end of your audition process, there's two final steps, the

1280
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: last two hurdles you have to go through. You have

1281
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: to go to the studio and audition in front of

1282
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: their executives, and then you go to the network and

1283
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: you audition. If you make it past the studio level,

1284
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 1: then you make it too that I didn't have to

1285
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: do that at I don't think mine was on the

1286
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,799
Speaker 1: Disney lot. I don't remember where it was. I remember

1287
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 1: it was like a really tiny room. Though, Um, your

1288
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: studio tests, you didn't have to do it. My studio

1289
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 1: test was Zucker's first, uh first, right, My my network

1290
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: test was my studio test. Also they were everybody was

1291
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: in the room, if I'm if I'm correct, I didn't

1292
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: audition for scrubs as many times as you did, right, Well,

1293
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: maybe because you were famous. I had I had competition.

1294
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: There were three. There were two dudes whom I knew

1295
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:39,600
Speaker 1: very well and partied with, and and they both auditioned

1296
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: for scrubs at the studio with me, and I still

1297
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: blew the audition man. One of them almost got that

1298
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: job if it wasn't for Bill coming out and be like, dude,

1299
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,640
Speaker 1: come on, get it together. But it's a lot of

1300
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: pressure because you start auditioning in smaller locations and all

1301
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, by the way, this all this all

1302
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 1: goes full circle because where we're going was also this

1303
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: is the route I would take to take that girlfriend.

1304
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: And I told you about to her job, and I

1305
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: would drop her off on this very same lot. So

1306
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: my life came No keep going to go to court

1307
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: only get on the freeway. No, that's a side street

1308
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 1: also that you can turn onto gets the barn. Yeah,

1309
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: I took the one on one. Okay, yeah it's a

1310
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: it's it's Coanga Boulevard actually, but he's just saying to

1311
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: I know, but there's a the side street over here

1312
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: is Coanga also next to the freeway and then it

1313
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: turns into Highland. Huh wild Oh, I know what you're

1314
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: talking about. Where here it goes on the side of

1315
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: the freeway left and then you cross over. Totally I

1316
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: know what you mean. Yeah, totally also valid that the

1317

Speaker 1: of your cut that you keep it. In the episode,

1325
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:22,720
Speaker 1: we're shouting out all of these great restaurants and we're

1326
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: telling people who don't live in l A when they

1327
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: come to l A where to go eat? When you

1328
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: moved out? Here was the spaghetti factory still there? No,

1329
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: maybe it was. I don't I've never been there. What

1330
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 1: is that I've heard? It was like it was literally

1331
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: what it's called a spaghetti factory and it was the

1332
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 1: worst tasting spaghetti. You whatever. It's a well, it's a franchise.

1333
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: So it's like they have one right across from the

1334
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:49,719
Speaker 1: San Diego Convention Center. Every year. One of the groups

1335
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,240
Speaker 1: of fifty a half to meet it was like, let's

1336
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: just go to spahetti factory. Please, No, I'll just get

1337
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: a drink. Yeah, it's fine. Um. Anyway, everything kind of

1338
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 1: came full sir, because now I was on the verge

1339
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: of getting a really life changing job and it just

1340
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: happened to be on the very same back lot. I

1341
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: think it's always so trippy when there is a place

1342
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 1: where you have all of these bad memories and then

1343
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 1: you come back better, stronger. Well, it's really interesting. There's

1344
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 1: so there are some places where I'm like, I don't

1345
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 1: think I've ever done a movie or a project for this,

1346
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: for this studio, you know what I mean? Like I

1347
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: haven't done a paramount job since Clueless. I think if

1348
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm correct, and you know, uh, Warner Brothers.

1349
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 1: I remember I couldn't break I couldn't get into a

1350
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers anything for the longest and the last few

1351
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: things that I've done have been Warner Brothers. Um. But

1352
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: I remember being like driving by because you know how

1353
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: they put the pictures up on the on the sides

1354
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 1: of the studios, Like I don't think I've ever been

1355
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I've been in a Sony thing. Yeah I did.

1356
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:53,600
Speaker 1: Brak Donovan was at Sony. But do you know how

1357
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: you drive by and you see all these pictures in

1358
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 1: you like, one day that's gonna be my picture. That's

1359
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 1: yet to happen until Scrubs. When we did Rubs and

1360
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 1: it went into syndication, and I remember us being on

1361
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:09,000

1362
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: friends being like, dude, you are everywhere right now. That

1363
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: was the old Hollywood Athletic Club, right there is the

1364
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: best place to have a fancy dinner event, play pool

1365
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: and everything. But um, I remember being like this is

1366
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,680
Speaker 1: the best. Wow, I've made it when the bus drove by.

1367
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: I remember going to New York. And it's not dawning

1368
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: on me that I was on the bus until somebody

1369
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: was like. I was sitting in the car with my

1370
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 1: dad and he looked over and he was like, get

1371
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 1: the He was like, look at this, and I looked

1372
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: over and it was us scrubbing in whatever the post was,

1373
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: three of us where it was in New York, like

1374
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: on some street, and he and just my dad being like, wow,

1375
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,800
Speaker 1: my son is on a bus. But I was oblivious

1376
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 1: to it, you know what I mean, Like I looked

1377
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:54,600
Speaker 1: over when I was like, yeah, I know, I was.

1378
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: I hate when people do that. Sorry, I'm sorry. My

1379
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: wife does that ship You might want to turn right. Sorry,

1380
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm reminding you. Listen, man, I'm ham Solo, aren't you Bacca?

1381
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: Look our ip an the music. This was our our

1382
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: last great giant, freaking arc light, our last great beautiful

1383
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 1: movie theater. The last place I saw a movie was

1384
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: the arc Light before pandemic happened. Here's here's the question.

1385
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: Who buys the arc Light or who buys the romedon?

1386
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: Friend Tarantino does. He's got enough money to do it.

1387
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 1: So well's the Hollywood landmark, so let's protected. They can't no, no, no,

1388
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: they're not tearing it down. But I just think it'll

1389
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: be the Netflix romon. Oh, that's that'd be really cool. Actually,

1390
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: are buying a lot of your estate out here. I'm

1391
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna check here. Okay, so check this out on. Let

1392
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,560
Speaker 1: me check your total level. It's still high. Hold on,

1393
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: check this out where the r is. My first manager

1394
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 1: ever in the history of being managed was Tracy Edmonds,

1395
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: and this was Edmonds Entertainment right here where we are.

1396
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: And this prompted one night Zack and I got to

1397
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: go to the Playboy mansion. We went with Tracy Edmonds

1398
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,759
Speaker 1: and we went to Kenny Babyface Edmund's house. You remember

1399
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 1: how big that thing was. That thing was like this,

1400
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:16,720
Speaker 1: so it was enormous. This was this was his thing.

1401
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 1: And right here this used to be a convenience store

1402
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: that wasn't really a convenient store, was a week spot

1403
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: for station. Look at and none of them got on masks.

1404
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 1: I know, the master done, I guess. Look at these

1405
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: people and not even it looks like, um, oh my god,

1406
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: that seems like irresponsible. Um. And we just passed the

1407
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 1: Hotel Cafe, which is where a lot of our friends

1408
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: play music. And it's a great place to see love

1409
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: of music. If you come to Los Angeles, Well this

1410
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 1: right here, you remember this, Vinald Joseph's right, Joseph, Yes,

1411
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: this was a clerk. I remember seeing you think I

1412
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: want to spend rest of my life living on Yuka.

1413
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: That's Vince Vaughn and the masterpiece made. I still say this,

1414
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:15,679
Speaker 1: man to this day. Vince Vaughn and uh Bro fab

1415
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: need to do another one. I'm ready me too, because

1416
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if enough people saw a Maide. I

1417
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 1: don't know if enough people saw swingers. Everyone saw swingers.

1418
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, everyone and saw swingers is old now?

1419
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: Is it still relevant? Like? Does it still feel the

1420
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 1: same If you're listening to this and you haven't seen swingers,

1421
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: you can see swingers and then you need to follow

1422
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:41,639
Speaker 1: it with me. You stole my then, and I don't

1423
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: like you for me. This is my prede movie, man

1424
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: oh man. So we're on our way to the Disney Lot,

1425
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:55,600
Speaker 1: which you can you know, I don't know if they

1426
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: give tours of the Disney law not anymore. They used to.

1427
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: It's a will place though. Fun fact about the Disney

1428
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,679
Speaker 1: Lot helped build it. Um He was planning to build

1429
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,639
Speaker 1: Disneyland right next to it. But the city of Bourbay

1430
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 1: was like, you're going to make us look like a carneytown.

1431
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: Get out, uh and so that's when they went to

1432
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 1: uh Anaheim. But as he was building up the lot,

1433
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: he reature all of the buildings were earthquake proof. So

1434
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:22,600
Speaker 1: it's quite being built in like the early fifties. You

1435
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 1: if you look at it, all the bricks are made

1436
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: so that as they shift, they kind of like ship

1437
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 1: and hold back into one another so won't fall down.

1438
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: It's great still to this day, considered earthquake proof. That's smart. Wow,

1439
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: he was a smart guy, very forward thinking. Um. The

1440
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: the lot itself is featured. Um, if you want to

1441
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: see it in the Tom Hanks movie about the making

1442
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: of Mary Poppins. What's that you call him something Mrs Something,

1443
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: Mr Banks, Mr Saving Mr Bank. So um, obviously it

1444
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: really took place there, that the experience of making Mary Poppins,

1445
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: and they there's all sorts of shots on the lot

1446
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: of Tom Hanks being Walt Disney quick tidbit. What a

1447
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: lot was La La Land comed on? That's a good question.

1448
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 1: My guests would be Warner brother being very good, right,

1449
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: very god so when you're an actor in Hollywood and

1450
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 1: you're going on auditions, you have to drive around, often

1451
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: to cast rigor's offices, but very often if it's television shows,

1452
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:23,720
Speaker 1: um to the actual back lots and there's let's say

1453
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 1: five or six major ones and they're all spaced over town.

1454
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,519
Speaker 1: So back in the old school way of doing pilot season,

1455
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: you could have five or six auditions a day, and

1456
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: you'd have one over here, and then the next one

1457
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 1: would be forty five minutes away, and then then one

1458
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: after that will be back over here. And when I

1459
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:45,600
Speaker 1: first moved out here, I think I've told you this.

1460
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 1: I didn't. We didn't have GPS, so and I had

1461
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: no idea where I was going. He was the name

1462
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: of that book that you had to get, the Thomas

1463
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 1: Thomas Thomas Guy, and it was this elaborate map that

1464
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 1: was like three inches thick book. I got that as

1465
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 1: a present for my sixteenth birthday, and my mom was like,

1466
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: you're initiated, right. It was like ABC. It was like

1467
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 1: all the numbers of the letters and then all the

1468
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 1: numbers too. To coincide, GPS was perfect for l because

1469
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,720
Speaker 1: it's just such but that's how studios would get you

1470
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,640
Speaker 1: to the audition. They'd be like, it's page such and

1471
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: such and such and such and the Thomas Guide. And

1472
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 1: you'd like, Okay, to get to here, I have to

1473
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: do this, and then you'd have to trace it back

1474
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 1: to where you are and the Thomas Guide and how

1475
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 1: would connects navigation alone? It was I told you, I

1476
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: think I told you. My brother would draw me these

1477
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: elaborate hand drawn maps. He'd be like, this is he'd

1478
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: be like, this is from Europe, from our place to

1479
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: audition one, from audition one to two, and different page

1480
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: from audition three to four. Big. He was amazing. It

1481
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 1: was very sweet, and he was an artist, so they

1482
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 1: were like beautiful. I wish I still had them. That

1483
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: sounds like a game show in itself, giving some like

1484
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: millennials or a gen kids, a Thomas guy being like, okay,

1485
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 1: get here. The other thing that sucked about living on

1486
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:02,719
Speaker 1: Detroit Street to get over here was always traffic. There's

1487
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 1: always traffic in this area, whether it's going this way

1488
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 1: or this way at some point in the day, right,

1489
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: So if you worked over here to get back, it

1490
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: would take at least an hour just to get through

1491
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: this whole bar, this bar and pass is tough. Now

1492
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: over here is the oak Wood. Well, they don't call

1493
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: the oak Woods anymore, but it's a It was temporary

1494
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 1: housing where a lot of actors who would come into

1495
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 1: town for a little while they would stay there, and

1496
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: children very often. There was a documentary that was amazing. Um, well,

1497
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: can you look it up for me. It's a documentary

1498
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 1: about child actors and the oak Wood apartments. And because

1499
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: their families would come into town for pilot season and

1500
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: they'd live in these in these houses and uh, it

1501
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 1: was something like two thousand three that four thousand dollars

1502
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 1: a month or some crap just to live with it though, man,

1503
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,879
Speaker 1: and and it was if you didn't get the furnished

1504
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: one like it was. This was it was a pain

1505
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 1: in the butted Hollywood Complex. That's what it's called, all right.

1506
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: If you guys want to watch a documentary about it's

1507
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:09,960
Speaker 1: called the Hollywood Complex. And I think they finally rebranded

1508
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: it because it has such a negative connotation. Seriously, So

1509
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: now it's called the Ava Woods. What we're not woods,

Speaker 1: Let's take a We'll be right back after these fine words. Yeah,

1584
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 1: So what can I tell you? I had a regiment

1585
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: that I followed when I started getting callbacks for scrubs.

1586
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 1: I was I would wear the same outfit, blue button

1587
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 1: down shirt I still have. I had a little bit

1588
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: of facial scruff which I kept. And then I went

1589
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: to this June him and run on the treadmill for

1590
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. And then I had these songs. So I

1591
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: pulled into that parking lot on the Disney lot, and

1592
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 1: I had a series of songs I would play to

1593
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:16,560
Speaker 1: get me myself amped up, and one of them was

1594
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 1: a radio head song called stop Whispering, and the lyrics

1595
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 1: were essentially stop whispering, start shouting, and I interpreted it

1596
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:31,759
Speaker 1: as like for myself, stop lip being small, stopped playing tiny,

1597
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 1: like go big, you know when I had one of those.

1598
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 1: I had two songs that were like that, and they

1599
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 1: were both by eminem on his first LP, and it

1600
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:49,760
Speaker 1: was rock Bottom and it was I Just Don't give

1601
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 1: a fuck, and I used to play I Just Don't

1602
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:56,640
Speaker 1: give a funk after every audition, whether I blew it

1603
01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 1: or I got it right. You know. It was one

1604
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,960
Speaker 1: of those things where it was like, you know, like

1605
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 1: that album for some reason really touched on, you know,

1606
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:10,080
Speaker 1: before scrubs. Like I said, before I was I had

1607
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 1: once again, I was broken. I spent all this money

1608
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:16,000
Speaker 1: on this house, and you know, I wasn't managing my

1609
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 1: money well or anything, and I, uh, I everything just

1610
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 1: never seemed to go the right way, you know what

1611
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 1: I mean. It just seemed like no matter what I did,

1612
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't get there. Whether I trained really hard or

1613
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, or whether I studied the night before, I'd

1614
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: get in the room and I'd literally black out and

1615
01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 1: be like, uh, ship was my first line was My

1616
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 1: first line was my first line was my first line,

1617
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 1: and it kept happening. And when Scrubs came around, thank

1618
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 1: goodness it didn't happen. And thank goodness for Bill to

1619
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 1: be honest with you, man, because I don't know. I

1620
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 1: don't know what about him at being such a great cheerleader.

1621
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would have There's no way

1622
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,760
Speaker 1: I would have gotten this part. Like I say that too.

1623
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 1: I say that to a lot of people. I'm one

1624
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,720
Speaker 1: of the worst auditioners you'll ever meet. But if you

1625
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:15,600
Speaker 1: give me the role and give me some time to

1626
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 1: work with you, I'll deliver what you're looking for. Well,

1627
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: it's a good lesson to for for people filmmakers and

1628
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 1: creators out there. Like someone you love, you know, chokes

1629
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:30,559
Speaker 1: at the audition, Like, don't give up on them because

1630
01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:33,640
Speaker 1: they know it's so there's so much pressure, you know,

1631
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:35,920
Speaker 1: here we are, it's just like athletes. I'm sure you're

1632
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 1: you're in the locker room, so to speak. Although I'm

1633
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 1: in my Nissan to Fort SX and I'm trying to

1634
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 1: get myself, you know, psyched up to not mess this up.

1635
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: Everything's on the line right now. It doesn't matter how

1636
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 1: many times I did it. Right before. All that matters

1637
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:50,559
Speaker 1: is that when I go in this room, I'm gonna

1638
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 1: do it right now. And so I would listen to

1639
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 1: that song stop whispering to be like, you know you've

1640
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 1: been you've been being small, you've been you you, you

1641
01:31:58,120 --> 01:31:59,920
Speaker 1: haven't been bringing your best, you haven't been bringing you

1642
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,719
Speaker 1: a game. You're gonna go in there and start shouting.

1643
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 1: And another song I would live listen to was blind

1644
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:11,640
Speaker 1: Melon song, Um, no Change, just afraid to change? That

1645
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 1: song about well, it's not necessarily that co music you

1646
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: listen to, but you you know, we know that, righty,

1647
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:22,040
Speaker 1: you listen to no listen to all music now. But

1648
01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 1: at that point in time, anyway, change was about like

1649
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:29,639
Speaker 1: being afraid of change and and not and and being

1650
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 1: intimidated by by I don't know, I interpreted is being

1651
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:37,639
Speaker 1: intimidated by starting a new chapter where you're living your

1652
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:39,960
Speaker 1: full your fullest and your being your best and your

1653
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: fully self expired. You know that's that's scary as fun

1654
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,600
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. That's you know what I mean, Like,

1655
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:48,599
Speaker 1: the fear of success is real. I don't care who

1656
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 1: you are, you fear of the unknown and if you've been,

1657
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 1: if you haven't been successful your whole life, and it

1658
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,959
Speaker 1: come and and and you see it on the horizon.

1659
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:01,360
Speaker 1: That's the easiest way to talk yourself out and stuff.

1660
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:03,280
Speaker 1: I've been here for so long, you know what I mean.

1661
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna so what if it doesn't happen right

1662
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:08,519
Speaker 1: now for me? Like you find ways to talk yourself

1663
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 1: out of it, that's pretty cool the man like you.

1664
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:17,639
Speaker 1: That was my turn. I'll get one four anyway. That's

1665
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:22,120
Speaker 1: really and I find that very refreshing that you know

1666
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:25,439
Speaker 1: you could go it's blinking yellow, but there's cars coming

1667
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 1: now it's red. Don't talking Chewi. This is Chewy for

1668
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 1: fucking drive carefully. Thank goodness for the two song. All

1669
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:44,519
Speaker 1: these safety features. Look at all these safety features easy chewy.

1670
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 1: Um No, But that's refreshing to know that you know

1671
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 1: you're not the only one that feels that way, so

1672
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, to hear stories like that, that's great. I

1673
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:02,439
Speaker 1: definitely didink um. It's a good idea. You know. Obviously

1674
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:04,720
Speaker 1: we all see athletes on TV listen to music and

1675
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:07,320
Speaker 1: their selves psyched up. But I think it's a idea

1676
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 1: for whatever you're doing. If you're going on a job interview,

1677
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:12,680
Speaker 1: if you're if you're whatever, whatever task is making you

1678
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:15,320
Speaker 1: nervous and anxious, put on a song of time having

1679
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:19,320
Speaker 1: sex with someone. Sure, I wasn't gonna say that, but short,

1680
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 1: you're like in the bathroom, get fired up. Here, we

1681
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 1: go hard to go home. You can harrd to go home.

1682
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:33,800
Speaker 1: You can go hard to go home like some romance music.

1683
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 1: But that's a good way to start it off. It's

1684
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:43,360
Speaker 1: either that or on this hard of a smooth that

1685
01:34:43,479 --> 01:34:46,840
Speaker 1: never works young. Whatever works for you, put it on

1686
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 1: and give yourself like that. That's how I go on auditions.

1687
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,720
Speaker 1: I definitely recommend it for actors, putting on a song

1688
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 1: that gives you confidence, that makes you feel like you

1689
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 1: got this. It definitely worked for me. Do you find

1690
01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 1: that when you go on auditions or and you don't

1691
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 1: really care that much that you do a better job? Um?

1692
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, there's an expression I think of I think

1693
01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 1: I mentioned it before, maybe not but being committed but

1694
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 1: not attached. And so I'm I'm committed, but I'm not

1695
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:19,400
Speaker 1: like desperately hanging on by my fingernails. I need this,

1696
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:22,360
Speaker 1: So it's like I'm committed. I'm gonna go do my best.

1697
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring everything and everything that is in my

1698
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 1: control will be at level ten. But I'm not in

1699
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 1: a desperate place, like if this doesn't happen, I'm gonna

1700
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 1: give up and die right right. That's hard because the

1701
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:39,920
Speaker 1: minute that good audition comes in, Like I remember I

1702
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 1: auditioned for Red Tails, and I wanted it so bad,

1703
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:45,240
Speaker 1: but they kept telling me you're a little too old.

1704
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 1: They didn't say you're a little too old. They were like,

1705
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 1: you're too old for these parts. And I was like,

1706
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:50,559
Speaker 1: what are you talking about. I got such a baby face,

1707
01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:53,280
Speaker 1: like you're a little too old. I think I was

1708
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:56,519
Speaker 1: like dirty at the time. And they were kids, and

1709
01:35:56,800 --> 01:36:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, they're supposed to be kids in it, and

1710
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:02,640
Speaker 1: they were like, we have a role, but you know,

1711
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 1: still you're a little to all. But we're gonna let

1712
01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 1: you audition for it. Guess who beat me out for

1713
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:09,560
Speaker 1: the part two method? Man Motherfucker's two Times in a

1714
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:14,639
Speaker 1: Row Gardens, stay and freaking. He said, I was two

1715
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:21,519
Speaker 1: old looking who beat me out? Sam Jackson? But uh yeah, man,

1716
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 1: Like I remember wanting it so bad and studying so hard,

1717
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:29,600
Speaker 1: and you know, working with my wife on it, and

1718
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:33,280
Speaker 1: you know heard giving me, you know, critiques on how

1719
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 1: I should do it. And everything, and me being like,

1720
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, and you know, going in there and

1721
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:42,200
Speaker 1: just not even close to crossing crushing the audition, Like

1722
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:46,120
Speaker 1: I blew it completely right, but I was so attached

1723
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 1: to it. But I had animosity to the direct towards

1724
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:50,600
Speaker 1: the director. I was like, man, fuck you for not

1725
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: hiring me, you know, like all of these things, dude,

1726
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:55,720
Speaker 1: Like I just I for a minute, I was so

1727
01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:57,800
Speaker 1: piste off at George Lucas, you know what I mean,

1728
01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:00,560
Speaker 1: like just everything because I really at that role and

1729
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:05,840
Speaker 1: I was so attached to getting that role. And it's

1730
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 1: hard not to do that. It's hard. You don't have to.

1731
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 1: There's only so much. There's only so much in your control.

1732
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 1: Now you can't control. Did you really put in the

1733
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:18,400
Speaker 1: work and work on it. Did you really get memorized

1734
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:21,599
Speaker 1: and really know it backwards and forwards? Did you really

1735
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:25,160
Speaker 1: work on it in multiple different ways? Did you really prepare?

1736
01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:27,200
Speaker 1: When I look back at it, I definitely did not,

1737
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:29,599
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like when I look back

1738
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 1: at it, swing it off here, we can get off

1739
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:34,800
Speaker 1: the cold water, right or get off here? Okay? I

1740
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:37,639
Speaker 1: when I look back at it, I smoked so much

1741
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 1: weed before I would study and I smoked weed before

1742
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: the audition, and I might even drank the night before

1743
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 1: to try, like, you know, trying to get into the

1744
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:50,280
Speaker 1: mode and feel creative and ship like that, and that

1745
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:53,439
Speaker 1: you might feel good for a couple of takes, but

1746
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 1: then that's a rap after that, bro, you know what

1747
01:37:56,280 --> 01:37:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean? Like you're off in la la land. You're

1748
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: not no unintended, You're not really got to right, You're

1749
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 1: not really in it to win it. But that's just

1750
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:14,680
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm saying, is that you don't look at

1751
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:20,799
Speaker 1: be really critical of of Did you truly, truly truly

1752
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 1: bring your agga? Did you drink the night before? Did

1753
01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 1: you smoke a ton of weed that week before? This

1754
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 1: is all just acting, but applied to your own life

1755
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:33,720
Speaker 1: in any way you can you know, did you? Is

1756
01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 1: there anything you could have done to have made your

1757
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 1: performance in the moment better? And uh? And then if

1758
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:42,960
Speaker 1: you've done that, you walk away and go, Okay, it's

1759
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:46,120
Speaker 1: out of my hands. Now. I did everything I could,

1760
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: And I can tell you from being on the other

1761
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 1: side of the table. When you're a director, it's just

1762
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:51,679
Speaker 1: you might come in and blow me away with your acting,

1763
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:54,360
Speaker 1: but you look too much like the other guy' already cast,

1764
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:56,400
Speaker 1: or you blow me where you're acting and you're no

1765
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,120
Speaker 1: way you're gonna be the brother of the woman I've

1766
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 1: already cast. The reasons that are just so out of

1767
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:07,280
Speaker 1: your control, age or whatever. Yeah, you know, I didn't

1768
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 1: give myself I know, looking back at it now, I

1769
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 1: know I didn't give myself a chance to win. But

1770
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:12,800
Speaker 1: I was so caught up in the fact that it

1771
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 1: was it was something that I wanted, and because I

1772
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:18,320
Speaker 1: wanted it, I should get it, you know what I mean?

1773
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 1: Like there's that feeling of entitledment. He felt entitled that

1774
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 1: comes with being in the game for so long, you know.

1775
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:28,439
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about Hollywood. I always tell young people,

1776
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: nobody owes you any anything. Nobody owes you anything every

1777
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,639
Speaker 1: every every step of the way, you have to prove yourself.

1778
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 1: Like careful, this woman is literally crossing the street with

1779
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:44,600
Speaker 1: a dog with no lesha. Like I dare them to

1780
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:46,640
Speaker 1: give me an audition for Star Wars, now, you know

1781
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I dare you, triple dog, dare you?

1782
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:53,560
Speaker 1: But that has a sense of entitlement to it in

1783
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: what way you're saying, Like I know that I would

1784
01:39:57,200 --> 01:40:00,679
Speaker 1: be very prepared for that. I'm saying I misunderstood instead

1785
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 1: of it, instead of being like, instead of being like, oh,

1786
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:05,639
Speaker 1: they're going to get getting emotional. Slow down, so we're

1787
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:09,040
Speaker 1: pulling up two well, I guess pull over here, dog

1788
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:11,840
Speaker 1: like that. Oh my goodness. So this is a weird

1789
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,280
Speaker 1: for us because this is not what it was anymore.

1790
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:17,640
Speaker 1: But this is a giant apartment building that used to

1791
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 1: be the hospital. If you ever come here, it's at

1792
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:24,360
Speaker 1: the corner of Riverside and Wins. It across the street

1793
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:29,360
Speaker 1: from Mikado's, across the street from Mercado Japanese sushi bar,

1794
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:31,760
Speaker 1: which I never went to. They would bring it to

1795
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:33,640
Speaker 1: set sometimes. Oh really, then I guess I did have it.

1796
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 1: And there's a famous um industry hair and makeup supply.

1797
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:40,639
Speaker 1: I don't know, don what do you feel. We spent

1798
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:42,880
Speaker 1: nine years of our life on this block. I never

1799
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,479
Speaker 1: thought they'd tear the hospital down to beyond. They always threatened.

1800
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 1: Every year. They were like, we're going to tear it down.

1801
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:49,720
Speaker 1: The first thing, we're gonna make a senior home. I

1802
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:51,880
Speaker 1: think it is a senior No, it's not. It isn't. No.

1803
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 1: That was that was like one of the plans. It

1804
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:56,600
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a great place to live, like a

1805
01:40:56,680 --> 01:41:01,120
Speaker 1: lot of these departments, like who lives there? Okay, look

1806
01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 1: how skinny that is, and we're mad at it being

1807
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 1: a new building. We're gonna criticizing exactly, although I have

1808
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:08,720
Speaker 1: to say it is it is. It is like the

1809
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:13,600
Speaker 1: stereotypic developer threw up an apartment building. I don't know

1810
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,640
Speaker 1: why they all look like, I'm okay to ship on

1811
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 1: it because they took our spot. I wish it was

1812
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: still an abandoned hubble. You're housing so many people, I know,

1813
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:30,360
Speaker 1: But listen, you guys. This this this, this, There's no

1814
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 1: more cartoonish example of some developer putting up an l

1815
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:36,400
Speaker 1: a apartment building than this. This is what they all

1816
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:39,599
Speaker 1: look like. I remember so many things, like I feel

1817
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 1: like my dressing room was like right around there, you know,

1818
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:46,280
Speaker 1: and we so many shots like basically where this little

1819
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: drive in right there is. This was this is the

1820
01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:51,880
Speaker 1: front lobby where all those scenes were. Um, you know

1821
01:41:51,960 --> 01:41:55,040
Speaker 1: what's you know what's crazy. I remember because I lived

1822
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:57,160
Speaker 1: in the valley when we were making this. I lived

1823
01:41:57,200 --> 01:41:59,920
Speaker 1: deep in the valley. I lived in Northbridge. But when

1824
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:02,720
Speaker 1: you would drive by this place on the one oh one.

1825
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 1: I could literally point at my dressing room. That's my

1826
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 1: dressing room. That's my dressing room. And then I knew

1827
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:11,960
Speaker 1: where Zax was, I knew where Sarah's was, I knew

1828
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:17,400
Speaker 1: where Johnny's was, and you know, it was oh man,

1829
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:23,280
Speaker 1: such great memories of you know, they gave us direct

1830
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 1: TV once with like unlimited little things. They gave us

1831
01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:31,639
Speaker 1: direct TV. They gave us direct TV with unlimited pay

1832
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 1: per view. WHOA, No, it wasn't unlimited if we never

1833
01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 1: saw the bill, and so you would just written movies,

1834
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:46,639
Speaker 1: Oh my god. But I just remember being like, Wow,

1835
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:50,560
Speaker 1: this is amazing. And then like any new film that

1836
01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:53,240
Speaker 1: came out, you could just watch it. And that was

1837
01:42:53,320 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: sometimes wide and come to set because I was so

1838
01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:58,840
Speaker 1: caught up in like, you know, the devil Wares products,

1839
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: like you know, we um we uh. And then so

1840
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 1: much of the show, if you know, the show, like

1841
01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:08,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the listeners do, took place in that

1842
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:12,240
Speaker 1: parking lot that's um back there and it's a dirt,

1843
01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:15,439
Speaker 1: but that was like a character. The parking lot was

1844
01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:19,560
Speaker 1: sort of a character in the show. Happened there, and

1845
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, the great thing for us was, you know,

1846
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 1: we just took you on a tour of some of

1847
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 1: the back lots, and the thing about the back lots

1848
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 1: is your Facebook. You're on fake sets, which can look amazing, obviously,

1849
01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:32,760
Speaker 1: but there was something so magical about being off on

1850
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:35,040
Speaker 1: our own. All of it was real. We were in

1851
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 1: a real hospital, and we built, as we've said before,

1852
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:41,280
Speaker 1: we built our sets into the hospital. And Bill had

1853
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:43,560
Speaker 1: no You know, sometimes when you're a lot, the executives

1854
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 1: are always stopping by and giving you notes or saying

1855
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:50,840
Speaker 1: that Bill had no direct oversight here. No one came here,

1856
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:52,640
Speaker 1: no one, no one was going to come visit the

1857
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 1: abandoned hospital, and he was really left to his own

1858
01:43:56,400 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 1: devices to to make the show on his own. Out

1859
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:04,200
Speaker 1: I do, I do, I do miss that time in

1860
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:06,240
Speaker 1: my life. That was a really good time in my life.

1861
01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:10,840
Speaker 1: Man Like I was making money, we were out, we

1862
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:15,200
Speaker 1: were something. We were the hit guys in Hollywood, if

1863
01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:17,840
Speaker 1: you will, Like I remember Fred Savage coming up and

1864
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 1: introducing himself to me and me being like, you're examples

1865
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 1: of this. Not to this Fred Savage, he is awesome,

1866
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 1: but your examples of celebrities you get stoked about, Like

1867
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:34,760

1870
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:45,240
