1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Hi.

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 2: I am Kate Hudson and my name is Oliver Hudson.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: We wanted to do something that highlighted our.

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 3: Relationship and what it's like to be siblings.

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: We are a sibling railvalry, No, no sibling rival. You

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: don't do that with your mouth, Vely, that's good. So

7
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: I just finished a meditation, and I've been meditating on

8
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: and off, I don't know, since I was nineteen. Mainly off,

9
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: but when it's on, it's on. You know, I've had

10
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: experiences with meditation where I have been consistent and.

11
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: You really are able.

12
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: To draw into a pretty special place of clarity and

13
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: of nothingness.

14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: I felt it. But that's the reason.

15
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: That's the reason why it's called a practice, because if

16
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: you don't fucking practice, you know, you can't get there.

17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: I know how good it can be and how good

18
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: it can feel, so I'm trying to stay consistent with it.

19
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Meditation kind of saved me, you know, when I was

20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: having my anxiety twenties and in my thirties and forties.

21
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: You know, I basically have anxiety every decade, it fucking seems.

22
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: But you know, when you're able to sort of drop

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: into this space and let everything go. It definitely can

24
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: bring you out of a lot of situations, but it

25
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: needs to be, in my opinion, practiced on a daily basis,

26
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: because what I do in my whole life. If I

27
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: feel like I'm not looking good, always had a shape,

28
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: I'll work out hard for six weeks and.

29
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: Be like, yeah, that's pretty good and quit.

30
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: If I am feeling shitty or I'm feeling anxious and

31
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: I'm going through a spell, I'll meditate and get better.

32
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay done. You know, I'm a quick fix

33
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: it guy. So I'm trying to maintain a consistency here,

34
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: and I'm trying transcendental meditation only because Howard Stern does it.

35
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: Because Howard Stern is like my idol. I just love

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: him so much and I know that he does TM,

37
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: so I want to try TM.

38
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: And I just did it and now I'm here.

39
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: So I'm not sure this podcast is going to be

40
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: any different or better. I'm not sure if I'm in

41
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: a better state of mind now or not. I don't

42
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: even know. But I know that just sitting quiet for

43
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: twenty minutes is probably a good thing no matter what.

44
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: Anyway, we got a cool guest on today.

45
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: I got a cool guest on Carlo Smincia been around

46
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,639

00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,760

Speaker 3: I'm excited to talk to him. Amazing upbringing.

Speaker 2: bring in someone who I'm not interested in talking to,

55
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: or we just need to fill space, you know what

56
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Like I'm fucking here, I'm just doing my thing.

Speaker 1: I looked at your schedule. So yeah, I sometimes get

77
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: caught up in how fun it is to entertain and

78
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: to make other people happy and laugh, and you know,

79
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: in that laughter infuse those ideas you know of hey,

80
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: look at the world from a different perspective.

81
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but does it? But does it? Tickets toll though?

82
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: You know where eventually you're like, shit, man, I gotta

83
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: I gotta sit down for a second.

84
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 1: Yes, it it Well, it doesn't because because during the day,

85
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: I you know, my job entail you know, an hour,

86
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: an hour and a half a night, depending on the show.

87
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: So let's just say it's two to three hours, maybe more,

88
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: maybe five at the most. The rest of the time,

89
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: I can do with what I want and as long

90
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: as I don't you know, party too hard or indulge

91
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: in that stuff after shows that make the day. The

92
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: next day, right, it's the next day. So you go

93
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: to sleep, you know, you go to sleep at one o'clock,

94
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: two o'clock in the morning. Eh, you're fine. You wake

95
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: up at ten or eleven, go to sleep at six

96
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: to eight o'clock in the morning. After a night, you're

97
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: waking up to literally do a show. And that's when

98
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: it gets bad because now you have no memories, no life,

99
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: no existence. You're just literally hanging out with people making

100
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: them laugh, then trying to maintain that up by doing

101
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: drugs keep you up, and then the next day it's

102
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: like boom all over again, and you're tired, exhausted, You

103
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: have no memories, you didn't go anywhere, you didn't do anything.

104
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and then you're chasing. You're chasing the hangover,

105
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: you're chasing the night. You know, I've dealt with that too,

106
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh man, this is bad. I have

107
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: to have a cocktail or I have to have something

108
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: to write the ship. And then it's just this consistent

109
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: chasing the tail type ship.

110
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because at night, right, you want to you

111
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: want to maintain that, so you get a little drunk

112
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: and then somebody offers you whatever it is, Yeah, that

113
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: keeps you a little high. Yeah, then you got to

114
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: take something to go to sleep, right, Also, now you're

115
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: doing it down or to go down to sleep. Yeah,

116
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you wake up and

117
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm groggy. I gotta do a little something

118
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: and wake me up. And that cycle just continues and continues.

119
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: So as long as you don't get on that train.

120
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that something that you've dealt with in your career,

121
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: like early on where you know you you had to

122
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: sort of use substance to maintain your your sort of.

123
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: You're not not ambition rise to keep up and keep going.

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: Oh I gotcha. No, No, I was never I was

125
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: never that person. You know, when you grew up in

126
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: the projects the way I did. You see the positive

127
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 1: and the negative of the drug system, right, the abuse

128
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: on one side and all the lives that it ruins. But

129
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: you also see the guy that you know whose parents

130
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: were poor and broke, and all of a sudden, two

131
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: years later they moved out of the projects and they

132
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: had a nice house somewhere, you know, in a middle class,

133
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: uper middle class neighborhood. So you see that, but then

134
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: you also see that those guys never reached the age

135
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: of thirty without getting shot, killed, or in jail. So

136
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: you see the whole gamut of it. And I just

137
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: never I'm a math guy, so I never saw the

138
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: the reason for those kinds of things, and never saw

139
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: the reason to get drunk. I was never afraid to

140
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: talk to a girl. I never I was never the

141
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: guy that was like, oh I'm going on stage, Oh

142
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: my god, I'm feeling I'm feeling weird. Let me let

143
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: me take a shot here, or let me you know

144
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: what I mean? Do that. That was never, That was never,

145
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: never a part of my of my cycle, book life.

146
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: My cycle was always be in the moment, be in

147
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: the now, see what the world is giving to you.

148
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: Change the world, make the world a better place. Doesn't

149
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: matter why you're here, Make the world a better place,

150
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: and that will be your reasoning. Like all this kind

151
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: of stuff, you know, reading those kinds of books, they

152
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: had cart totalis of the world, you know what I mean,

153
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: the Singers of the World, does you know? Trying to

154
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: find that. So that wasn't the thing that got me.

155
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: The thing that got me and still gets me is

156
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: since I don't do all that stuff eating in the

157
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: middle of the night after shows because I can't eat

158
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: thefore shows. So if I have a two to three

159
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: show night, three show night, right, the show starts at six,

160
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't eat anything after four thirty. And

161
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: if I do, it's a really light salad or something

162
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: like that can between shows too heavy. So all of

163
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's two o'clock in the morning and I

164
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: haven't eaten since five, and I'm fucking hungry, bro like hungry,

165
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: and you know, a mixed salad or it's whatever that

166
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: that does not sound appetizing when you're a little drunk

167
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: at that hour and night. That's when I'm like fighting it,

168
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. The last the last time

169
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: we did that, and it was kind of an intervention

170
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: moment for me, Me and my friend, just two of us.

171
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: We're at the drive through of a water Burger. We

172
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: ordered and the lady goes, that's gonna be seventy eight dollars,

173
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: and I said, bro, we gotta stop, dude, this is

174
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: two people, this is two people. It was just so

175
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: much food, man, So I just and I said to myself,

176
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: we got we got a fa this out, So I'm

177
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: trying to find a balance with that.

178
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: No, no, I get that, But.

179
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: These are the problems that it's hard to talk about

180
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: with regular people that have regular jobs, who really work hard.

181
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm this is why sometimes I just

182
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: hold my tongue because in my head I can hear

183
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: my gardener going, oh, it must be hard. It must

184
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: be hard for you to have to eat in the

185
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: middle of that night. Yeah, so you have seventy eight

186
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: dollars to just throw away on food at four o'clock

187
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: in the morning. I could hear that boy is telling me, like,

188
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: shuit your pie hole.

189
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: I totally get that. But and I've talked about this

190
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: on our podcast. You know, my sister's not here. We

191
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: talk about it all the time. You know where sometimes

192
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: if you are a privileged, fortunate person you know, or

193
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: who has made it in one way or another, we

194
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: are afraid to talk about our feelings and our struggles

195
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: and our issues and our problems because of exactly what

196
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: you're talking about. The fear of sort of judgment, you know, saying, oh,

197
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: you think you have it bad, but right, it's all relative.

198
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: We all have our issues, you know what I mean.

199
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: No one knows about my ship. No one knows that

200
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: my dad left when I was arrived. I mean a

201
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: lot of people do now. But I have my own

202
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: fucking shit. And if I can't express myself, you know,

203
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 2: publicly or if on a podcast and I'm not being authentic,

204
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: then that's then I'm not having fun honestly doing what

205
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm doing with this anyway.

206
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 3: So I just say it, you know, and it's it

207
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: is what it is.

208
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: We all have our issues, no matter what you know,

209
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: social class that we come from.

210
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can feel, you know, you're.

211
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: A privileged person to be where we are, But that

212
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: doesn't mean we can't have our own our ship.

213
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, the fact that we feel that is awesome.

214
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: The problem is that unless you go deeper, right, unless

215
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: you go to a real deep place like you just

216
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: did about your dad or moments like that, the problem

217
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: is we don't get empathy exactly, or we don't get empathy,

218
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: or we get hatred. Right, you get one or the other.

219
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: You get like really who cares? Or fuck you? Let

220
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: me tell you right, Yeah, So that's our fears. So

221
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: that's why for me personally, what's been a godsend is therapy.

222
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I've been doing it since two thousand

223
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: and eight, you know, And it was funny because it

224
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: was just not but a month ago, you know, I

225
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: was talking to my therapist about a similar situation like this,

226
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, man, sometimes I feel like I

227
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: don't have anybody to reveal those truths to because it

228
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: is important to tell those truths. And thank god that

229
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: you have this avenue, and you know, I have that avenue.

230
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: But he said, you know, well, thank god you have

231
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: me because you can tell me everything and anything, and

232
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: at least that, you know, feels a certain void. And

233
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I thank god I have him,

234
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: and you know, he's become, you know, a friend of sorts,

235
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, and I know that he's a therapist and

236
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: there's a transactional thing that occurs there where I pay him,

237
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: But you know what, I pay people to see me perform,

238
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I would do it for free, as

239
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: I've done it for free before. So that doesn't change

240
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: that dynamic. But you're right, it's needed.

241
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: Did you find a therapy When you got into therapy,

242
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: do you feel like that changed your comedy? You know,

243
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: because you are now dealing with a deeper part of

244
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: yourself and you know, pain is funny, There's no doubt

245
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: about it.

246
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: I'm very self.

247
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm so self deprecating, which is probably detrimental to my

248
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 2: success because I fucking put myself down all the time

249
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: in the vein of humor, you know what I mean, right?

250
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: A little too much?

251
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there definitely is. It's a way to sort

252
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: of deal with insecurities, There's no doubt. But do you

253
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: feel like once you got into therapy and really were

254
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: in do it, it changed your perspective in the way

255
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 2: you performed your jokes hugely so.

256
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: And one of the biggest reasons that that happened was,

257
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, I had seen and been interested in, you know,

258
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: psychology for a very long time in philosophy, so I

259
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: remember that when I would ever see TV shows or

260
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: movies that had you know, therapist in it, it was

261
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: always like, let's get to the root of the problem,

262
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: let's figure out why you feel this way. And I

263
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: thought that that was so important and it might be

264
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: to others, but I remember something occurred really early on

265
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: in our therapy sessions where I said, maybe we need

266
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: to find out why I behaved this way or why

267
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing this specific behavior, and my therapist said, we

268
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: could do that if you want, or we could just

269
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: work on changing it. It's up to you. We can

270
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: go and try to figure out why this happens, or

271
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: you can just say I don't want to be that

272
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: way anymore and begin to change. It's up to you.

273
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: And I said, oh shit. I thought we had to

274
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: like find out, like I had to go to a

275
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: moment of like, oh my god. It was when my

276
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: mother wasting my brother and I was in the closest's

277
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: scared and that's why I hate women's shoes, because I

278
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: was in the closet with the shoes now. And it

279
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: changed me so much because it made me realize that,

280
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: and it changed my comedy because my comedy up until

281
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: that point, my setups were a little more contrived because

282
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, I was going to say stuff that

283
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: people were going to be affected by. So I tried

284
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: really hard to kind of get to the root of

285
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: a problem, so to speak. And what it made me

286
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: change was like, now, these are jokes, and if you

287
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: don't understand that, that's on you, not on me. I

288
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: don't have to change. I don't have to give you

289
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: a diet tribe of my life and your life. In

290
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: order for us to do a joke about how my

291
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: mom beats when I was a kid, We're just going

292
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: to do the joke to it quicker. So yeah, it changed.

293
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: It changed me vastly. It also made me a bit

294
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: more sensitive to other people's pains, the fact that I'm

295
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: going to say things on stage that are going to

296
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: trigger negative feelings. Not on purpose, but I talk about

297
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: how I was sexually used as a kid on stage. Right,

298
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: no matter how funny that joke is, no matter how

299
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: good I perform it, no matter what my perspective is,

300
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: there's gonna be somebody that is lacking their ass off

301
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: and is immediately going to be taken like a movie

302
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: where your pan on their face, it freezes and then

303
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: there's a time work and then all of a sudden

304
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: they're in their trauma. Right, I know that I'm going

305
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: to do that. So now that I'm aware of that,

306
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, I try to say little things, you know,

307
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: puts in there, says like, hey, this is how I

308
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: deal with this trauma. This is what I do, This

309
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: is what everybody does, but this is how I deal

310
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: with it. Or I'll say, hey, my friend said, how

311
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: do you do this or a woman said to me,

312
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, and infuse their feelings or what I think

313
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: they might be feeling into it that dat has changed before.

314
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: My idea was, hey, dude, it's a fucking joke. Seriously,

315
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: like if you can't understand that, why are you mad

316
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: at me? Right? And I do feel that way to.

317
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 3: A point, like you know who I am.

318
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 2: You've come to see me, you know my frit So

319
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: don't be offended by what I say.

320
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: Right, But there's still you know, there's still somebody out

321
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: there that's like, hey, a priest diddled me, and I

322
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: feel I never I haven't resolved those resolutions yet. So

323
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: my whole thing is to do the joke and have

324
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: them feeling like, Okay, that was funny and maybe I

325
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: can talk to him about this or maybe I can

326
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: deal with it the way he out with it or

327
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: whatever that is. But as long as they don't stay

328
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: in there because of me, I'm okay. I'm okay with that.

329
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: But that but you know, having empathy, seeing other people's

330
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: you know, affect on me, seeing my effect on other people,

331
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Therapy.

332
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: That's interesting because you're taking on the burden of potentially

333
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: thousands of people because in your set you have you

334
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: don't know who you're offending, So it's kind of a

335
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: hard one. Maybe with something specific like sexual abuse that

336
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: you went through, you know that there's probably a few

337
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: people in there who have dealt with that. But within

338
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: your set all the other sort of jokes you might

339
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: be telling that, I mean, it's hard. I mean, it's

340
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: not on you to take on everyone you know and

341
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: have to amend for them, to make sure that they

342
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: feel okay.

343
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: You're right, But the only thing about therapy for me

344
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: is that you know, it has taught me that, you know,

345
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: I do my part so that I can be okay

346
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: with me, right, I do my part so that I

347
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: can live with myself. But you're right, it is not

348
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: my responsibility, you know, to take on the burden of

349
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: everybody's pain, everybody's past, everybody's tortures. You know, I'm not

350
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: triggering anybody. I am telling my truth, my side of

351
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: the story, so to speak, comedically on stage, and I

352
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: do my best to be protective, so to speak. But

353
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: at a certain point, it is it is a comedy

354
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: show and it's not a podcast like this where I'm

355
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: not bound by having to be funny and having to

356
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: tell a joke and having to entertain where I can

357
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: be open about something like this. So yeah, that's a

358
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: different venue. And you know, I do my best, but

359
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't take on that responsibility. Everybody's responsibility for happiness

360
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: is on them. Y is on each and every one

361
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: of us. And that's it. And that's hard for us

362
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: to believe when you create a cancel culture where when

363
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: a person that disagrees with you is shut up, when

364
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: a person that doesn't feel the way you do is

365
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: shut up, and you basically try to create a world

366
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: for these people that is perfectly sane and perfectly benign.

367
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: You're ignoring the feelings of the other people as well.

368
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: What about those other people that you've changed? And and

369
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: so for me, we've been giving you know, you hurt

370
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: my feelings is one of them. I can't hurt your feelings.

371
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't have the power to hurt your feelings, right,

372
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: I only have the power to say something. And you

373
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: allowed your feelings to be hurt, right, right, You allowed

374
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: that to happen. That wasn't me. I didn't do anything.

375
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: I wasn't a part of your life. When whatever trauma

376
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: occurred that wasn't. I I was not there, and I

377
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: think that a lot of us have been advocating that

378
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: in today's world. And you know, the advent of anxiety.

379
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 2: Depends on swings, you know, so far, You're right, You're right.

380
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: I mean it eventually sort of finds some into the middle.

381
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's shifting. I think a lot

382
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: of comedians now are moving back to where it's like,

383
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 2: all right, well we can say what we wanted to

384
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: say now again.

385
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: You know. Well, I don't get me wrong. I think

386
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: that what occurred was needed.

387
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: That's what I said. Like, There's a lot of great

388
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 3: things that came from it.

389
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: It was needed, and it was needed in comedy specifically

390
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: because we got lazy, right, I got it. We started

391
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: being edgy for Edgy's sake. Yeah, Right, Today the jokes

392
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: are literally how edgy, how sexy? Or you know, blatantly?

393
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: You know, can can I be in saying this one thing? Right?

394
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: You watch the most recent rous of Brady, Most of

395
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: those comedians didn't even know didn't even know the guy, right, right,

396
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: They like literally met the guy probably that day or

397
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: a little before whatever, and they're saying all this crazy

398
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: shit about him and whatever. And about all these people.

399
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: It got to a point where it was just Edgy

400
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: for Edgy's sake, and I believe that there was a

401
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: reckoning that had to go because just because you call

402
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: yourself a comedian and you're up on a stage, you

403
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: still have to make what you say resemble a joke

404
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: or else you're making statements. And once we make statements,

405
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: we can get into the trouble of this. That's the

406
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: first thing that needed reckoning. The second one was we

407
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: started apologizing when guys and girls in stand ups started

408
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: to say I'm sorry. What that did was it made

409
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: the joke real. Now, it made the joke an actual statement.

410
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: I've never apologized for a joke, never will. I'm sorry

411
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: if it defense people, and you know that because we

412
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: talked about this just a few minutes ago. Totally do

413
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: not want to hurt anybody's feelings. But I know how

414
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: to create this stuff and do it so that it

415
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: does resemble a joke. And I'm not going to apologize

416
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: for telling the joke because now you're saying that my

417
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: intent needs an apology, and my intent does not need

418
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: an apology. My intent was to entertain you and make

419
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: you laugh. So we didn't need this reckoning. My fear

420
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: is what you just talked about, the pendulum. I think

421
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: that what's going to happen is we're going to get

422
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: an influx within the next you know, a few months

423
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,239
Speaker 1: or years of comedians just going real fucked up heed

424
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: gie like imagine, and they're they're already existing comedians that

425
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: wish to behave you know, like, uh, let me draw

426
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: an analogy, like a Trump comedian that wants to go

427
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: up there and not give a shit. And all you

428
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: need is about two percent of America that love you, Yeah,

429
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: and you will be a millionaire. Literally one percent will

430
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: give you three of three three and a half million followers.

431
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: So one percent, we'll have you selling out comedy clubs

432
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: and making about eight hundred thousan million dollars a year.

433
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: Just one percent. You dropped the two. Now we're getting exponential.

434
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know that's comedian can't exist today, broke.

435
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: So wait, you have you have seventeen siblings? Uh?

436
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: Yeah? Have you living sisters and six brothers?

437
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 2: Fucking crazy? So you grew up did everyone grow up

438
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: in on doors?

439
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: Most of about eight no, six of them wait let

440
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: me see, yeah, six of them mostly in Honduras. I

441
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: was the last one born there.

442
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: You were, and then how long were you there before

443
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: you to the station.

444
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: I came here when I was like seven months old,

445
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: but I loved for periods of time, So I came

446
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: here when I was a kid. But then when I

447
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: was eight, I went to school there. Then when I

448
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: was ten, I went to school there. Then when I

449
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: was twelve, I went to school there. So I kind

450
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: of kept yeah, coming in and out. I lived in

451
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: Mexico for a while, in und Earth for a while.

452
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: But what that taught me was and it made me.

453
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: It made me a much better entertainer, specifically a comedian

454
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: because and I think one of the big things missing

455
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: today in America from a sociological standpoint is having a

456
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: decent sized family. When you have you know, two, three, four,

457
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: you know three to four siblings are more. You begin

458
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: to realize that you don't like your siblings sometimes but

459
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: you love them, and there's a big difference, huge difference.

460
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: You also have to deal with people that don't like

461
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: what you like. Sometimes you have to eat whatever everybody

462
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: else is eating. You know what I mean? When you

463
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: have one kid, you know, I have two kids, and

464
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: I get into that were like, Dad, I don't like this,

465
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: and it's like what am I supposed to do? My

466
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: mom would have been like eat it or whatever. You know,

467
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: But we were poor and we didn't have a lot

468
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: of food.

469
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 3: You were in East La, right, you grew up in

470
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: East So I grew.

471
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: Up in the projects, in the projects in East La.

472
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: So you know when my mom made food, that was

473
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: the food. That was it. We didn't have a pantry.

474
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: The fuck is a pantry?

475
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: How did how did your parents support eighteen kids or whatever?

476
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 3: Like, how do you feed eighteen kids? How does that work?

477
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: First of all, it's not the way. The number is

478
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: not the way you think. So at any given point,

479
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: there's maybe six siblings in the house. Right, the weather

480
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: was are gone and it wasn't having come yet, right,

481
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: so there's about six everybody over sixteen, it's contributing to

482
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: the family in some way, shape or form, right, a

483
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: job of some sort, a weekend gig of some kind,

484
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: cutting grass, you know, doing work for others. Like.

485
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: So it was never it was never that money going

486
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: out a lot that money goes into a pot essentially.

487
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: So my first paycheck, I'll never forget it. Man, it

488
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: was ninety eight dollars and thirty eight cents, and I

489
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: came home so happy. I was fifteen years old, and

490
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: I showed my dad and he told me to sign it,

491
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: kept it and gave me twenty bucks and he said,

492
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: the family says thank you. And I was like, what

493
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: the fuck has happened? I had ninety bucks and I

494
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: got twenty dollars? Like how did this occur? But being

495
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: around those people, what it made me realize is like

496
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: I can hang around anybody, you know what I mean,

497
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: I can I can tolerate anybody. I can find the

498
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: connection with anybody. It doesn't matter what you are. You know,

499
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: you name the type of person, and I can tell

500
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: you how many exists in my family and my family

501
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: were honest, real and I found that out. I mean

502
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: I knew that, but here's a really great story to

503
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: show you, like who my family are and my belief

504
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: in the acceptance of truth. Right, That's another thing that

505
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: you realize when you're a kid, because we have really

506
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: smart people in our family and not so smart people

507
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: in our family. And I remember when my father at

508
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: one point was kind of telling us what he expected

509
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: of us, and the difference between me and one of

510
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: my brothers was, if I get a B, I'm gonna

511
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: get my ass beat, and if he doesn't get a fail,

512
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna get rewarded. And I remember going, wait, what

513
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: the fuck? Just hold on, hold on. If I get

514
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: a B, I'm gonna get my ass beat. But as

515
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: long as he doesn't fail and he gets all ds,

516
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: you get it. And my father, my father like in

517
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: front of everybody, just looking mean, it's shit. Yeah, because

518
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: for him it's hard to not fail.

519
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 3: Mm hm.

520
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: For you, it's easy to get a's. So if you

521
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: don't get all a's, I know you're fucking around or

522
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: doing something stupid.

523
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 3: That's smart.

524
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: That's fucking smart parenting dude, like your today, Yeah, but

525
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: your parented the individual child.

526
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: I have three kids. I do it the same.

527
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: My middle kid just naturally is good at school. My

528
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: older one is he struggles a little bit. So I

529
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: have more expectations for my middle one than I do

530
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: from my older one. But it's all about effort. It's

531
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: for me, it's effort. Grades don't mean anything.

532
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: Then the letter.

533
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: If I see that you're working your ass off and

534
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: you study for fucking three days on this math test,

535
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: and I know you did and you get it. D

536
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, you're good.

537
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: You're good. Maybe you're just not good at math.

538
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: But if you apply that effort into your life and

539
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: have that work ethic and you carry that shit onto

540
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: when you're in your twenties and you're applying that to

541
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 2: what you love to do, you're going to be successful.

542
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: You know. But that's because and I do jokes about this.

543
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: I go look people that have I kind of it's

544
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: somewhere between three and four, but I say four. Four

545
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: kids are more end up being really great parents because

546
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: you love your kids but not too much. You protect

547
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: them but not too much. Nothing is overkilled, right. Once

548
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: you have four kids, you don't have the time to hover.

549
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: You don't have the time to stay there and watch

550
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: I do this thing. It's pretty, it's really cool. It

551
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: just takes a lot of time. So I don't do

552
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: it all the time. But I say raise your aunt

553
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: if you have two kids, and people raise your hands,

554
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: and then I ask them which one of your two

555
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: kids is the smartest kid, And normally they tend to

556
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: say it's not that one is smarter than the other,

557
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: they're just different. And then I'll say raise your round

558
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: if you have four kids or more, and whoever has

559
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 1: the most kids raises your hands. I ask them, are

560
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: you easily offended? Are you like shy in any way?

561
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: And they're like no. I say, all right, come to

562
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: the come to the stage, and I won't put them

563
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: on the stage normally. I'll put them like right before

564
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: the stage, turn them around so that everybody could see

565
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 1: their face. And then I go, this is the difference

566
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: your parents that have one or two kids, who idealize

567
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: their children and look at them differently, and people that

568
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: have more than four kids. And I say, look forward,

569
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: don't look at me. And I tell everybody, look at

570
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: this person's face. And I tell them, don't answer the question,

571
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: don't answer the questions, don't open your mouth, just exist

572
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: in time. And I say, of your whatever many kids,

573
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: which one of them is the fucking idiot? And at

574
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: that moment, everybody just dies laughing because you could see

575
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: the person every time, just go like you could see it, dude,

576
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: You could see it in their places. And the bout.

577
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: I would say, about ninety percent of the time, I'll

578
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: say what's the name, and they'll say the name. About

579
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: ten percent of the time they're like I can't.

580
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: I can't can't do it.

581
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: I can't say the name out of loud. I know

582
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: you're recording this, and I can't do it. But about

583
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the time, Bro, they say it. And

584
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing that our children are suffering from the

585
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: anxiety that they have. In my opinion, a lot of

586
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: them is because of expectations that should not be placed

587
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: upon them. You know, my dumb brother is one of

588
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: the happiest people I know in real life, but he

589
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: also knows his limitations. He also doesn't try to go

590
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: overboard with it. He doesn't expect things from himself that

591
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: he should not expect from himself, and therefore his anxiety

592
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: levels are pretty normal. You know, I have a friend

593
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: that's been working at McDonald since we were sixteen. Bro,

594
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: sixteen and I was born in nineteen sixty seven. I'm

595
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: fifty six. It's gonna be fifty seven. We're the same age.

596
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: Never accepted a position where he had to actually be

597
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: the manager and run the whole place. Ever, and he's

598
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: happiest dude, makes good money, not the richest guy in

599
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: the world. You know, has a little, humble, little place,

600
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: but he knows his limitations and he's happy, and I

601
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: think that that right there is missing, you know, because

602
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: we live in this world where it's like anybody can

603
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: be anything. Bullshit. That is bullshit. It's not true. No,

604
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: not anybody can be a great actor, not anybody can

605
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: be a great director, not anybody can be a great podcaster.

606
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: This bullshit. Some of us have gifts that if we

607
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: nurture whatever those gifts are, we could be great at that.

608
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: But this whole thing is being placed on these kids,

609
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and that's where their anxiety is coming from.

610
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: And I mean, can you imagine I was like, we

611
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: had anxiety already, we had some of that, but could

612
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: you imagine if it was like could you imagine the

613
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: anxiety you would be placing upon that kid right now,

614
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: the one that you know, yeah, has a little hard

615
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: over the time. Could you imagine if you treated both

616
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 1: the same, or you pretended that there was nothing wrong

617
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: with him, or that he didn't have any issues with math,

618
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: and you were just a dad going, well, everybody else

619
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: gets it, the fuck is your problem? Could you imagine

620
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: the ship that that kid would be born into it.

621
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: I think that on a very subliminal level, we've done

622
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: that to our kids, and we did. We've done a disservice. Bro.

623
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: We got to come back so much so I can't.

624
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree with you more. And that's why I

625
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: do not raise my kids like that at all. You

626
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like it is not about.

627
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 3: There is no pressure now, you know.

628
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: With my oldest right, so he's a junior and he

629
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: wants to go to college, and you know, he wants

630
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: to go to n YU and he wants to go

631
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: to get into Tish and all that stuff. And I said, hey,

632
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 2: why is nam as Wilder? I said, Wilder, Look.

633
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: I'm I'm down with your great aides right now.

634
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: I as long as you're happy, you've got your amazing boyfriend,

636
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: I love your grades. But if you want to go

637
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: to NYU, then I'm gonna push you a little bit

638
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: because you're gonna have to do a little bit better

639
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: than that. Now, if you're like no, I'm cool, you

640
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I'm I'm good with wherever I

641
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: end up. Then hey, I'm going to lay it off you.

642
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: But I'm as your dad, I'm going to try to

643
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 2: push you to a little bit of a place, you know,

644
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 2: so you can achieve what you might want to achieve,

645
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: you know. But in no way am I do I

646
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 2: harp on my kids about your grades or anything like that.

647
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: You know, And is it hard? Is it hard for you?

648
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: Because it's not that hard for me. I thought it

649
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: would be harder to allow your kids to fall and

650
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: falter in life, knowing it's not that hard for me

651
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: because my dad did that to me and it taught

652
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: me the lessons. Yes, and I see the other side

653
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: of it, Yeah, but one of them is kind of

654
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: One of them is getting me. One of them is

655
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: because I told my kid when he was you know,

656
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: my oldest, he's seventeen, he's going into his last year

Speaker 1: a junior and he discovered robotics and anyway, he discovered that,

663
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: and I saw that sparkle in his eye, and as

00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,920

Speaker 1: best robot. Oh Dad, I messed up, but I know

668
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: how to fix it in all this greatness. But now

669
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,320

672
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: should I have made him? Like? I mean, I know

673
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: I pushed them, but I also let him make this

674
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: mistake so that he could learn what he's learning right now?

675
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: Is it worth it? Like? Should I have? And it's

676
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's fucking with me, bro, I know it.

677
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 3: I know, well, it is what it is.

678
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: You know.

679
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: Here's the other thing too.

680
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 2: In my opinion, you don't have to go to the

681
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: greatest college to be an incredible robotics.

682
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 3: You don't have to do that nowadays, you know.

683
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: I mean, so as long as he is in the

684
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: place that he wants to be and and and that's it,

685
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 2: he can study and work and do everything that he

686
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: needs to do and his talent will take him through,

687
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, that's the way it goes. My

688
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 2: kids all want to be in the entertainment industry. Their

689
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: grandparents do, do uncles do what they.

690
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: All want to do it, you know.

691
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: So I'm like, we'll go have fun in college, Go

692
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: have the college experience. If you know what you're gonna do,

693
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 2: you're gonna work hard at that. You're gonna come back

694
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: to LA, You're gonna get an agent, You're gonna do

695
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: whatever the hell it is. You're gonna do your footage

696
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 2: in the door. Nepotism is a fucking live and real.

697
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 3: It's the way it is.

698
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: And you're gonna have to work your ass off, but

699
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: you're gonna, you know.

700
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: You know what you're going do. Anybody that that looks

701
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: down upon nepotism or says that it's wrong or whatever

702
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: it is, let's be honest. Yeah, those people don't have

703
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: anybody in their family that is in a place of

704
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 1: success that can help them achieve a goal a little

705
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: easier than normal. That's just life. I mean, it just is,

706
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. The problem.

707
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 3: The problem is the problem though.

708
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: Nepotism argument is when you hear the word, your mind

709
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 2: automatically goes to entertainment, rich people, actors. But that's bullshit.

710
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: Nepotism is on everyone full spectrum. It's from accountants to steal.

711
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: Workers, to every job in the world.

712
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 2: There's nepotism, you know what I mean, it's just hard.

713
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: When my nepotism was a place called California Protein Products.

714
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: They took the guts and the beaks and all the

715
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: food that all the stuff that couldn't be created into

716
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: food from Zachie Farms, all the chickens that they killed.

717
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: And so, uh, three of my cousins, three of my uncles,

718
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: two of my brothers all worked at this one place. Right,

719
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: if I wanted a life working there, I had an end.

720
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: It was done. I could have done it right. That

721
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: was my nepotism, So I had it in my family.

722
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: This is that. It wasn't you know, to a badass

723
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: job where you know you can make millions of dollars.

724
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: That's not what my nepotism was. My nepotism was, you're

725
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: gonna make a decent living and you're gonna come home

726
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: smelling like shit every night. So if that's good, that's

727
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: for you. We got your back, Like that's what I had.

728
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 2: Did you did you ever dip your toes into that world?

729
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: Or no? Are you kidding? Me, dude, my dad nibbed

730
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: that shit in the ass. When I was eight years old,

731
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: they come and they tell me, Hey, your father's here

732
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: to pick you up from school. I walk outside. He's

733
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: a truck driver for this, so he hauled all the

734
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: shit basically back and forth. So I got in his

735
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: truck and he took me to where he picks up

736
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: all the fet goal matter and the guts and the whatever,

737
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: and he goes, so what do you think. I was like,

738
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: I think I never want to do this. Somebody like

739
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: that was it? Brother? Yea, he knew what he was doing.

740
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: He knew what he was doing. He took me there

741
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: to scare the shit out of me and to lead

742
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: me to go I will never do that, and I

743
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: will do whatever it takes to never have to do that.

744
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. So actually on that line growing up in the projects, like,

745
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: were you able to stay out of trouble? I mean,

746
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 2: was that something you was hard to avoid? Or how

747
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: did that work for you and your siblings too? You know,

748
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: there's so many they didn't.

749
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: Speak enough English, so they were not really targets me personally.

750
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: If all of those gang bangers knew that I was,

751
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: I don't know how but they respected that I was

752
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: one of the kids in the neighborhood that everybody knew

753
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: was going to get out because of my mind. And

754
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: so I recall an incident one time, we're a really

755
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: young gang banger was, you know, kind of got in

756
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: my way on my way to school, and one of

757
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: the older guys pushed them aside and he said, hey, bro,

758
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: don't never mess with that kid right there, Bro, that

759
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: kid is going to make us look good. Someday he's

760
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: going to go to school and show people what we

761
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: can be. You are what we have to be. He

762
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: is what we can be. So don't ever fuck with him.

763
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: And nobody ever fuck with this kid. He is not

764
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: a gang banger and he never will be. And that's

765
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: what I got from those guys. That's what I received

766
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: from them. But here's guy who was very intelligent, who

767
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: probably had a great idea, Like I know a guy

768
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: that I was growing up who before they had taco trucks,

769
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: had the idea to do a taco truck and could

770
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: not get alone. And those ideas just sometimes die on

771
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: the grapevine because they don't have the help that they need,

772
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: or the person that they need, or the nepotism required

773
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: or the friend in the right place. And so the

774
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: respect that I got from those guys was that they

775
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: that guy was smart. And I think he saw a

776
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: little bit of him and me, and I think that

777
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: he kind of just went, I don't want you.

778
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: To be me.

779
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: I want you to be what I should have been. Yeah, and.

780
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 3: Looked out for you that way.

781
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what, I never saw it. I

782
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: don't know why right now it's hitting me really hard,

783
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: but wow, I've never really lived in that moment to

784
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: really see his pain in it. I just was grateful,

785
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I now that i'm

786
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: kind of thinking about, Yeah, that the fact that I

787
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: was just a version of him that couldn't exist when

788
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: he was growing up.

789
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 2: That's he wanted to give someone else an opportunity that

790
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 2: he didn't have because he saw himself and you you know, yeah,

791
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 2: that's cool. Do you ever connect with the neighborhood anymore?

792
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: Or is that I do? But it's so hard, bro,

793
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: because you know, when I go back and you know,

794
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: I see that I see the old guy and I

795
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: knew and he's still alive, but his teeth are missing,

796
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, I see the drug abuse signs

797
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: and they asked me for money, you know what I mean,

798
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: or or they or they're embarrassed. Yeah, that's the worst, bro. Yeah,

799
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: the worst is when I go to the seventy eleven

800
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: because my brother, he doesn't live too far from where

801
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: we grew up, so we still go down to the

802
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: seven eleven that hovers between these two neighborhoods, East LA

803
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: on one side of Floral and Monterey Park on the

804
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: other side, which is a pretty affluent, decent neighborhood. Yeah,

805
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: and I still go there, and you know, every once

806
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: in a while, it's happened where I go there and

807
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: they see me and they try to hide and I

808
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: just pretend I didn't see them because they're embarrassed of

809
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: what they look like, or they're high, or they're drunk

810
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: or or whatever. And you know that's that's hard for

811
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: me too, bro, you know what I mean, What do

812
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: you do? Because I've helped, Dude, I've given millions of

813
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: dollars to family and friends of help. Right now, I

814
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: just send a bunch of money to a couple of

815
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: buddies of mine that are dealing with some stuff in

816
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: Houston because of the hurricane and so you know, I

817
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: give back. But yeah, it's hard, bro, It's it's that's

818
00:44:59,280 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: tough to see that.

819
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: So real, real quick, because I know we're going along here,

820
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 2: but like real quick, just just getting into the comedy space.

821
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 2: It's the kid, you know, when did that happen? When

822
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: did you know you were funny? When did you know

823
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 2: that this could be a career for you?

824
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: You know?

825
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 3: Were you a young kid telling jokes? We were like,

826
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 3: were you the were you the guy?

827
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: Or No? I was not that guy? What I was

828
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: the I was the young guy that always didn't I

829
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: didn't see the map in things right. My brain was

830
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: meant to write comedy, to write things of that nature.

831
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: So like, here's an example, when I would hear gang

832
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: bangers go I hate white people. White people still fuck

833
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: white people, I would in my head go, well, if

834
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: you hate white people, how come you only shoot Mexican

835
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: like that doesn't make sense to me. If you hate

836
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: white people, then stop shooting us and go shoot white

837
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: people like that. So that thought or thoughts like that

838
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 1: got always in my head. The problem was I was

839
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,959
Speaker 1: around my mom a lot, and my mother she knew

840
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: me really well, and she would spot whatever look I

841
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: had in my face, and she would either smack me

842
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: in the back of the head or grab me by

843
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: the ear, or look at me in the eye and go,

844
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: you better not say what you're thinking. Not here, not now.

845
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: That was her thing, right, it's inappropriate here and now.

846
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: What happened was when I'm nineteen and I discovered comedy.

847
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: I discovered the place where my mother can't tell me

848
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: not here, not now. This is actually the place where

849
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 1: all those thoughts belong. And so every thought that I

850
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: had as a kid of moments like that became a joke,

851
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: became fodder. And I and because I had eleven sisters,

852
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: and eight of them were born in a row before me,

853
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: so there was a period of time when I was

854
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: growing up where there were or nine women in my

855
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: house and just me and my dad. Right, So I

856
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: tell this story about one time my dad got pissed

857
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: because we used to have to go downstairs in the

858
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: backyard and use the water hole sometimes to shower up

859
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: in the morning. Because you can imagine, everybody goes to

860
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: work in school at the same time. We have one

861
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: one bathroom, right that has a shower in it, and

862
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: nine women, so exactly, so my dad one time got

863
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: pissed and he's he said. He knocked on the door

864
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: and said, if you don't open the door, I swear

865
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: to God. And three of my sisters were like, whatever, dad.

866
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: So my dad went downstairs and he made me hold

867
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: his two hands while he squatted over the kitchen sink

868
00:47:53,960 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: and took a dump in the up. That's how we

869
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: dealt with those moments. And now I get too. Instead

870
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: of being the crazy fun uncle at the parties who

871
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: gets you know, drug can tells everybody these awesome stories

872
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: on carloson the community and they's going on stage and

873
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: tell these really great funny stories. So I was always

874
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: meant to do this, and of course there was resistance

875
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: when I first started from my family. A degree in

876
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: electrical engineering, so my family was pissed when I started

877
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: doing stand up so they had it, literally had an

878
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: intervention for me. I came home on a Sunday, all

879
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: these people are waiting. They're all there to tell me

880
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: how I'm ruining my life, how I'm stupid to quote

881
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: my mom. Get a job and then you couldn't tell

882
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: jokes at whatever job you have, But you don't have

883
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: to do this. And thank god, my dad he never came.

884
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: He didn't come to America for success or money. My

885
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: dad came to America to literally achieve the American dream,

886
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: which was to be the best that you can be

887
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: at anything, at whatever that is, and have the opportunity

888
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: to be whatever you want. So the thing was, during

889
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 1: this intervention, my dad started getting drunk. He started drinking

890
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: because it took too long. They were like forty people there.

891
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: So by the time I got to my dad, I

892
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: said to my dad, because I know this about him,

893
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: I go, Dad, like, remember when I was about ten

894
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: years old and you kissed me on the cheek under

895
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree and you said, miho, I came to

896
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: this country so that you could be whatever you want.

897
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: I said, you're the most important voice in my life.

898
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit about what they say, but

899
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: I care about what you think. What do you think

900
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: I should do? And my dad he goes, you know what,

901
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: and he wants to be a clown. Fuck it. Let

902
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: him juggle And that was.

903
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 2: It.

904
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: That was the stamp of my career. Cut to two

905
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: years later, I went International Star Search. We're at the

906
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: after party. I hear it clinglingling. Everybody turns around. My

907
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: Mom's on the stage, raises a glass and says, you know,

908
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: ever since, ever since he was a little boy, I

909
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: knew that he was gonna be somebody special. And I, dude,

910
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: I swear to god, I was about to yell bullshit

911
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: and my dad and I'm like, what are you doing?

912
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: You know, she's bullshit And my dad is like, I know,

913
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: but she's cappy and she's drinking. I'm getting laid to night.

914
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: Don't fuck it up for me. And I was like,

915
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: and that was you know, but she was about to well,

916
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: actually she did. She you know, she continued with it

917
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: and said that when I was born, there was a

918
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: star in the sky and she always knew what she always.

919
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 2: Supports, created some sort of a story that makes her
