13
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 5: like I have to do this. I get the invite

14
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 5: to tell a story, right, and they basically animate this

15
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 5: story using puppets, and it was genius. And they're like

16
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 5: Mary like, they were like real detailed, amazing.

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 3: The heads really look like the people.

18
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, picture with it and suit on an old thing.

19
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: And it was like, oh my god, we gotta find

20
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: out where those puppets are.

21
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: By the way, because those puppets are around.

22
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: You know.

23
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: We said, did you ever take your puppets?

24
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: I didn't take No, I didn't take out.

25
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll find it my personal shrine of humans.

26
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 2: But the speakeasy basically that that we built, we built

27
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: this show. I thought, oh, man, you know be really

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: fun if like all of us have this crazy story

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: that we've never told before, and the idea was that

30
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: we use marionettes to to bring.

31
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 3: That story to life.

32
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: Right, So we would basically design all these marionettes and

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: every every notable friend who came to to tell the story,

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: we would do a replica of their of their face

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: into a into a puppet.

36
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: So it was called the Hollywood puppet Ship Show. And

37
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: it was so fucking funny.

38
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: Like and I had so many friends, like our boys,

39
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: Steve Oki, like Joe Jonas and Gina Rodriguez, and like

40
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: we had everybody come and tell the story.

41
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,279
Speaker 3: It was so it was so funny.

42
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: It's a random genius. Thank you, Thank you.

43
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: It's a cool idea, man, because you could whatever you

44
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 5: can't say in real life, you can get away with puppets.

45
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

46
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: You're forgiven. You're forgiven.

47
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 5: Wow, man, this is how even you know, when you

48
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 5: look at the South Park guys, they got away with

49
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 5: the hand put it in puppetry and like all stuff,

50
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 5: you could never ever say so. But even though it

51
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 5: was like VH one.

52
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: Wasn't it, Yeah, it was it was like sitting again

53
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: on all of them maybe they're really good.

54
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: People love this show. It's very cool.

55
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: And the story, what story did you told you?

56
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 5: The story was so it was one of the most

57
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: horrendous periods of my life. Like I just moved to

58
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: la And what was crazy is that I was, you know,

59
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 5: I retired from the NFL, and I wasn't a superstar.

60
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 5: See a lot of people think you were in an NFL,

61
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 5: but I was on the end of the roster. There's

62
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 5: like the last ten fifteen guys on the roster. They're

63
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 5: just they're holding on. Man.

64
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: We got the NFL minimum.

65
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 5: And what happened is I would play one year and

66
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 5: then get cut and then set out so that money

67
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 5: had to last for two years and then get picked

68
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 5: up us and I play again and then get cut again.

69
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 5: And so it was a really really again Me and

70
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 5: my wife were going through all of it. But this

71
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,520

Speaker 5: I want to be writing my little ideas. I have

164
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,640

281
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 5: like you got and I see what this woman is doing.

282
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 5: So they said, no, we don't have to do that

283
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 5: because they want They didn't want to arrest it. And said,

284
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 5: but she says you got to get out of here,

285
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 5: and you're being evicted, right, my god, worst story ever man.

286
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 5: And so but then I went to one of those

287
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 5: family law places and they said, okay, since she is

288
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: trying to evict you the whole thing, you don't have

289
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 5: to pay rent anymore.

290
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: Protected.

291
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: I went, what California.

292
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 5: It's California law and said, so you gotta wait till

293
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 5: they can figure it all out, and the whole thing.

294
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 5: And we went four months trying to figure this all out.

295
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 5: I said, don't pay the rent, said don't do it,

296
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 5: and now I had it saved up.

297
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 4: Wait wait because if you would have paid it, then.

298
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 5: What well, it's it's literally because of her complaint against

299
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 5: me and the attempt to evict has now kicked in

300
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 5: this and I didn't want to go. And it wasn't

301
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 5: for lack of finances. It was some of the order thing.

302
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 5: You had to let the court settle it out and

303
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 5: you had to wait for the court, so don't move,

304
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 5: and nobody could literally move. But it was our advantage.

305
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my god, like, okay, okay, what's next.

306
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 5: And then while we were doing that, my wife was

307
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 5: working and all these things out and there we need

308
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 5: to find another place to live. Okay, we need to

309
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 5: find So we had like three four months to find

310
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: another place too. We ended up moving across the street

311
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 5: and this man who just knew this lady was crazy.

312
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 5: He was like, hey, I'm moving out. I saw what

313
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 5: you're going through with her. Hey, I got a new place.

314
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: It was beautiful, it was gorgeous, and I said he

315
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 5: Then he said how much it was?

316
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: And I said, I can't afford that. I can't afford it.

317
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 5: Damn it, I said, I can't afford it. He said,

318
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 5: what can you afford?

319
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: Come on, man, dude, I'm getting choked up.

320
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm getting choked up there.

321
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: We opened him. That's the way you gotta look at me.

322
00:15:51,120 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 5: Oh, man, dude, he said, what can you afford? I said,

323
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 5: I can afford this and he said, I'll take it.

324
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: And man, me and my little girl, my wife, my

325
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 5: little girl. She's in the little wagon. We moveing our

326
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 5: stuff across the street. And that was.

327
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: That was. But the story I told was Devil White Puppets.

328
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: That we told that story with puppets.

329
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 5: Oh they told that story with puppets. But you know,

330
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 5: but we ended up. And now I look back at

331
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 5: those those times, man, because moving out here, man, it

332
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 5: was so hard because I, like I said, I.

333
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: Didn't know what was going on.

334
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 5: I didn't know what was gonna happen, but I knew

335
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 5: we were after this dream. Me and my wife was

336
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 5: just like, we gotta we gotta make it work. So

337
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: we were so broke. There were times we would have

338
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 5: pizza night, like me and my family loved Friday night,

339
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 5: Pizza night.

340
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: And this is back with Blockbuster and the herd thing.

341
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 5: And I used to park outside of the Blockbuster to

342
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 5: wait for people to bring the movie back.

343
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, a new release. You know, you know, you

344
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 7: see somebody bringing in the box.

345
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: Some of you don't know what blockbusters and plays where

346
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: you're going. Rented a VHS movie, but sometimes the new

347
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: releases they only would have two copies, so you gotta

348
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: get there, you know, to actually get the movie.

349
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 5: You know, my baby girls want to see the newest

350
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 5: thing and the new Disney thing that just kept. So

351
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 5: I used to approach people in the cars when they

352
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 5: be pulling up, like, hey man, you got it, you

353
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 5: got ye hey man, leave me alone, leave them alone.

354
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: But what what what happened is the guy would come

355
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: out and you see it in his hand, Hey man,

356
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: is that you're intersecting? And as soon as he put

357
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: it in, like I want that one.

358
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would be parked out for like an hour

359
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 5: or two hours to get the hot movie then and

360
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 5: then I would take we literally would take flower yeast,

361
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 5: the whole thing, and I would make joke. Yeah listen,

362
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 5: sure Little Caesars was like we couldn't afford that, so

363
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 5: big flour dough and I would make a freaking dough.

364
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then we would put spaghetti sauce and we we

365
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: had we knew we had some cheese. Yeah, that was it.

366
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: You're speaking so hard to my heart. First of all,

367
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: I just want to say thank you for telling us

368
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: that story again. It's uh, it's it's not just humbling,

369
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: but it's also kind of reassuring of all of our stories, right,

370
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: I mean, we we all have a tiny little bit

371
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: of a version of your story. And when we first

372
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: came to the United States, same thing. We were to

373
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: the ninety nine and store for the groceries, you know,

374
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 2: you know, and like, even even though I didn't I've

375
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 2: told this this joke before. It's like, we couldn't get

376
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 2: Coca cola, so we get cola, you know what I mean.

377
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: We couldn't get Captain Crunch. We just get crunched.

378
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what I mean.

379
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 5: You know.

380
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: But but the point is, like somebody was watching this

381
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: whole time, you know, and somebody was watching and knowing

382
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: that the blessing was going to.

383
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 3: Change your life.

384
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 2: It was going to give you the run where you

385
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: needed to continue to dream on the level you were,

386
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: you know, and nothink you know anything from there will

387
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: be coming up.

388
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 5: But this is so strange. This is what's so strange.

389
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: And it's strange, dude. I've been in the most opulate

390
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 5: places in the entire world, the biggest hotel, the best

391
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 5: of everything.

392
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't as good as that pizza. Oh my god, I'm.

393
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 5: Trying to tell you the movie and the pizza and

394
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 5: me and my little girls, all of us, Me and

395
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 5: my wife, my little girl. We all just sitting there

396
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 5: and I'm like, we're doing it. We're doing it. We're

397
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 5: gonna make it. Yeah, dude, again, we've had everything, you know.

398
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: Now it's like, oh, you get a car, you get this.

399
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 5: They're like, but man, when you go back, those times

400
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 5: are so precious and.

401
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: So important, so important to hold up the blessing later,

402
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: you see what I mean.

403
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 5: And again, it's just it's a precursor. It's just it's

404
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 5: the way to these things. You're like, the only way

405
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 5: out is through you know what I mean. It's not

406
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 5: a magic thing. You just gotta earn it. You gotta

407
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 5: take these little steps and baby step it, you know.

408
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 4: But but sometimes God puts you through that to prepare

409
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 4: you for the big blessings. Because you're not prepared to

410
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 4: handle you.

411
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: Won't behold them exactly.

412
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 5: You know.

413
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: He put you put you through those storms.

414
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: Man, it's called seasons, right, Yes, put you through a

415
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 4: season in order for you to harden you, to strengthen

416
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 4: your faith in him. I'm sorry, don't mean to get

417
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: too spiritual.

418
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: Him, no, but that's it. We're all very spiritual people.

419
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: That's that's kind of how I see it, because well, you're.

420
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 5: Right, you're right ready, because dude, one thing I know

421
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 5: is that you know, when you look at when things

422
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 5: come too easy, they's just never appreciated, you know what

423
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 5: I mean. It's like, you know, it's wild because you

424
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 5: kind of have to it. The harder the battle, the

425
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 5: greater that we wore, you know what I mean.

426
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: That's all.

427
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: It's like, that's why the people always say, man, like

428
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: when they're going through that small hell, you know, they go,

429
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: something goods coming, Yeah, yeah, something, something's at the end

430
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: of this road, you know. And speaking of that moment

431
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: at the other road, what was that one moment where

432
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: you tasted entertainment and you're like, oh, I'm about to

433
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: do this.

434
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: What was that moment? Yeah, this is what what was

435
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: crazy was.

436
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 5: Uh, there's several different starts to my acting thing, you know,

437
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 5: because I never again I wasn't trying to be an actor, right,

438
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 5: but but I was, you know, during after security, I

439
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 5: would bounce. So there was a club at Burbank called
