This is an I-Heart podcast.
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the On Purpose podcast.
Recently, I had a conversation with the one and only, Madonna.
When I was broke and I had no friends, nowhere to live, I was held up at gunpoint.
I was robbed.
Always horrendous things happened to me.
I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me in New York is better than what my life was, so I'm not going back.

Let's make some roars.
He's a legendary Queens rapper.
Hey, hey, he's a Miami hip-hop pioneer.
What is DJ EFN?
Together, they drink it up with some of the biggest players.
You know what I mean?
In the most professional, unprofessional podcast
in your number one source for drunk facts.
This drink champs, motherfucker.
Every day it's New Year's Eve.
It's time for drink champs.
Drink up, motherfucker.
What a good be, hoping to do this will be. It's your boy, N-O-R-A.
What up is DJ, E-F-N?
There's a militant crazy wall.
Drink, Tats, Yafi-A-Hawr.
Make some noise!
Now, this brother has a beautiful story, man.
From the beginning, you know what I mean, you know,
from him being homeless to, you know,
him moving to Orange County to him, you know what I mean,
going to Hollywood and dominating it.
You know what I mean?
You know, repeated.
role after role, your favorite actor
is in the scene with this brother
being his supporting actor.
You understand what I'm saying? This man is a legend.
It's about time to give him his flowers.
We've been waiting to do this. In case you don't know
what he's talking about, we're talking about the honorable.
They want to know Noel G!
Now, let's ask about the name
off top, right? No LG.
Now, why is it G? Because
people could pronounce your last name? I can't even
say my last name, Doug. Straight up, man. No, I'm trying. I'm like, if you figure it out, you let me know, you know what I'm saying? I know, right? I just make it easier, dog, by saying G or whatever. But, no, the truth of it is, is because my mom's Mexican, my dad's Italian. And your dad's full of Italian. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. So my mother's half Puerto Rican, half Mexican, half Mexican. Mexican, right. And I'm, I'm Baskin Robbins. I'm 31st, you know. But I only, I'm Mexican at heart because I grew up with Mexican Americans my whole life. So that's the only side I know. I don't know my Puerto Rico. I don't know. I don't know. I'm
Yeah, I don't know, none of that stuff, you know what I'm saying?
And I moved to the United States, and I was like, what's up?
You bad bunny cousin.
Man, you didn't know more about me than I do myself, man.
He didn't get your 23 of me in his back fucking right now.
But you were born in Puerto Rico.
I forgot we had personal conversation, bro.
No, no, no, but I looked you up as well.
Let it out, let it out, bro.
You were born in Puerto Rico, and then your mother moved to California,
and I believe the first place that she moved to California was Compton.
Yeah, exactly.
She thought Compton was nice.
She thought Compton was sweet, man, straight up,
because that's all she heard about on the news, you know what I'm saying?
Until she got the real news, you feel me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it was funny because they came from, you know, out of town.
They don't know what's up or whatever.
But they kept on here and Compton, Compton, Copton, Copton on the news.
They're like, oh, that's the place to live.
And then little did they find out, like, no, that's not the place to live, you feel me?
So then they backed out of there, went to Orange County.
And so then I grew up in OC, but, you know, I grew up with Mexican
Americans, like I said, my whole life.
So that's all I pretty much know.
Right.
The last name thing, you know, my dad's Italian.
And so I just never knew how to say it.
I still to this day, I really don't.
How do you think you how you say it?
The way I try to say it, I don't even know how to say it.
I can't even attempt it, Doc, straight.
That's why I just said to well, G, man, keep it easier, boy, you know what I'm saying?
Please try.
You try.
You try, you're a similar issue.
My last name is Italian.
Let me know, don't.
Let me see.
We're going to figure this out, though.
Straight up.
We're going to solve a mystery today.
This is a laugh here's, by the way.
Today we're going to solve a mystery.
We're going to go with that.
Google Emmy.
We're going to go with that.
It's not like you related to Tony Surprise.
You see what I'm saying?
You see what I say, Noel G?
Keep it simple, bro, but we're going to go with that.
I'm just going to pretend your guests is the right guess.
So let's take it from there, right?
Because, you know, you got so many people like, like, you know,
like Brad Pitt and all these other people, like you find out that they have
stage names, right?
So, and then you, you know, I forget, like,
so many people that...
They change their names all the time.
They change their name.
Now, is that something that your agent told you?
Or that's something that you adapted and said, you know what?
No, no, no.
I just, I didn't really change my name.
I just said, Noel G.
To keep it short and simple, you know what I'm saying?
So that way, we didn't have to go through the whole deal of how you say my last name.
Right.
And so that just became kind of like, that just kind of like worked itself in there.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I'm going to bounce around a little bit, right?
No, I saw a love.
Go ahead, I go with the flow.
man. Jim Carrey stuck a bird up your ass.
Hey, let's not get personal,
Paul.
That's not, hey,
wait, wait,
wait, wait,
wait,
we don't get personal,
you know what I'm saying?
Hey,
all I know
was the check cleared,
bro,
that's all I know,
guys,
get up.
No,
but we got to
get it.
He had to go there,
Doc.
You had to go there, dog.
You're messing up a podcast,
bro,
you're messing up a show.
It's one of the most
classic scenes.
As long as you didn't play
in slow motion,
be straight,
dog.
Yeah,
because it's one of the most
classic things. I believe it's Bruce Almighty, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bruce Almighty, you guys...
There's not a day I leave the house, bro, and don't
hear that straight up, man.
Like, I'm, I don't go to the zoo
no more. I'm good, I got handicapped
parking when the movie was over.
I couldn't walk straight, bro. I need it to be eight
the whole deal, bro. Like, no, I'm telling you
straight up. There's not a day I leave the pad and don't hear
that. Okay, that hasn't made me crazy
yet, but... Okay, no, no, no, no.
Okay, so... He's going deep,
huh? He's going down.
Literally.
Was that? Was that... Literally? Was that...
Was that in the script or was that improv?
No, that was actually...
So, Jim Carrey is a nut, bro.
I was only supposed to work on that movie one week.
I got seven weeks out of it
because Jim Carrey kept on changing the script.
Wow.
So what happened after the Monkey Deal,
which I didn't know about when we first started doing the movie,
that came cold turkey, right?
But we're just going to go with the flow
because it's Jim and, you know, whatever, right?
But just to give you a taste of how much he was changing the script,
what was supposed to happen after that,
scene was he says now it's time to teach the rest of you guys a lesson. And so one of my
homies says, oh yeah, you and what are me? And then what ends up happening is 50 Jim Carries
jump out of Jim Carrey. And we each get our own individual beating. And so they actually
started filming this stuff. Like they brought in Jim Carrey lookalikes. I thought this stuff
would at least make it to the special features. You know what I'm saying? So long story short,
man, just to kind of fast forward. What ended up happening was we actually started filming
all this, you know, different
stuff that Jim Carrey was coming up with on the
spot. So, like, one gangster
was getting, like, there was a Jim Carrey
gangster, and he was hitting the switches
on the Impala. It was getting bounced up
in between the hood and the engine.
Another gangster was, like, there was some
Jim Carrey Karate guys. They did
Cobra Chi, one of them. And they
had all this stuff going on, right?
So to end the story, what ended up happening was
one of the producers came
and said, hey, Jim, we're going way over
budget. We're filming longer than we're supposed to. And in the movie, it's too early to display
your power like that. So we need to end this now. We need to stop it. And so what ended up
happening was they ended up doing the bug thing. And the monkey had to come back home, right? And so
yeah, long story short, that's how that got killed quick. But yeah, man, I mean, Jim Carrey was
a nut. Like, he changed the script. So, but for me, it was a beautiful thing.
Right, right? Because I'm on a one-week contract, one-week contract turned into a seven-week
contract, and I'm like, this is straight.
So I was a happy camper, you know what I'm saying?
So, so, um, let's bounce around a little bit.
So you started from a Taco Bell commercial.
Yeah, yeah.
Very racist.
Yeah.
She's stupid, bro.
We go in there, we go on there, no.
I want you to smoke.
Give me some.
How did you get the Taco Bell commercial?
How did this happen?
No, literally, it was crazy, man.
The Taco Bell joint happened because I was dating this girl at the time, and she wanted to be an
actress.
I wanted nothing to do with it.
Okay.
So long story short, I go into this acting class.
Never thought about acting a day in my life.
I'm, you know, I'm acting a fool in the streets, whatever, whatever.
And literally, right place, right time.
And you know to win the lottery, you either got to be Mexican or over 75 years old, right?
That's your pal going out.
You know what I'm saying?
And so literally, right place, right time.
Never thought about acting a day in my life.
And I'm just being real, man.
When I went in the acting class, I thought everybody was dorks and nerds.
So I just start talking smack, you know what I'm saying?
And what ends up happening was there was a cat, and there was a producer.
He was scouting talent that day.
Comes up to me after the class, and he says, hey, you know, you're kind of funny.
You want to be on a Taco Bell commercial.
I thought he was on some BS, whatever, whatever, but he ended up being real.
I gave him my number.
Two weeks later, I'm doing a commercial for Taco about the age of 15 years old.
That's crazy.
And at 15, I didn't know about residual checks.
Right, because they kept coming.
Right.
And for people watching who don't, you know, white people invented this.
Just so you guys know
And white people are like
We go make money while we sleep
They figured it out
And we just jumped on the bad wagon
Right right
And we just you know
Rolls with that
Was it 700 bucks or something like that?
Back then I forget
I don't even remember what I was
I went from bling bling to like
I mean I went from nothing
To like bling bling overnight
You feel me like
It was like hitting a baby lottery
These digital checks were coming in
I thought it was a computer mess up
Right
But you know I'm cashing them
Because I want to be a good citizen
You know what I'm saying
And do my part
I can do it, right?
So I'm cashing them, dog.
But after it got a little weird, I was like, well, I keep on getting paid for this commercial.
And he explained him.
He's like, no, no, no.
That's how actors get paid.
I said, what?
I said, well, I want to be an actor.
And that's how it kicked off.
So he knew a manager guy.
It hooks me up with this manager.
I go meet this cat.
I don't know what's up.
I come in like this.
I don't know nothing from nothing.
And he's like, I like you, man.
Let's see what I can do for you.
Is a manager or agent?
It was a manager at the time.
This is way back when.
This is like when we did.
get art to an art joint, you know what I'm saying?
And this manager guy,
he started sending me out on stuff, but everything
he sent me out for was Gangster
1, Cholo 2, Trigger.
I'm like, I thought I was here to act, bro.
You'd be in yourself.
Yeah, I was like, I mean, I've been to college once.
I had to drop somebody off.
I'm just saying, man, so that's how the acting
kicked up. But let me just back up
for two seconds to explain to our viewers
who don't know what residual checks are.
Residual checks are, when you do an acting
job and they show that
commercial 15 times
in one day, that's 15 checks.
15 different checks. Yeah, yeah. So that's
what residual income is, you know what I'm saying? Just for those
of you who didn't know. Right, right. It's like royalty.
We'll put fun facts at the end.
So then, not only you
did the Taco Bell commercial, but you
started to do like Taco Bell introduction
commercials or like
for other like Fridays and stuff like that.
You was like the guy that... Oh no, I got
you on this one. Okay. No, because I didn't do none of that.
Okay. Taco Bell commercial
was the only thing I did that was in the cat down.
You didn't know what I did was,
I know what I did was, I know what you're talking about, though.
You're close, you're hot, you know what I mean?
But, yeah, you're hot, but you ain't sizzling yet.
Yeah, no, you ain't sizzling yet.
So what happened was, like, the starting of the career,
I did industrial commercials.
Okay.
So, like, if you worked at Burger King,
I was the cat, like, this is how you wrap a hamburger.
Yeah. This is how you use the register.
I was that guy.
Like, you know, I was doing, like, security videos
for like Kmart and Walmart and Target.
Like instructional video?
Instructional videos.
So like if you're sitting in an orientation,
I'm the guy still in a CD in aisle three.
And they're telling the security guards,
if you see someone stealing in the store,
this is the proper procedure about you take.
I was doing that.
But back in, that was paid, dog.
And back then, I was a big.
And back in, I didn't know that.
Yeah, I was.
He was so gangsta one in those videos.
I was, straight up.
But again, the checks were clearing, you know what I'm saying?
But I was like, at that time, it was crazy because they were paying like $1,000 a day.
Wow.
And remember $1,000 a day back in the 80s.
Well, that's some money.
I remember I could make $1,000 last a whole month.
Nowadays, we spend it in a day.
But back then, $1,000 last you a month, you know what I'm saying?
I was just making good money back then.
So I was like, yeah, we're going to ride with this.
Okay.
So we get to that.
What was your first big role?
Was it training day or was it fast and furious?
No, no. My first big role was Fast and Furious. That's what started the roller coaster ride.
Paul Walker, right? It took off from there. Yeah, Paul Walker, rest in peace, man.
And that's what, you know. But my first movie ever in theater was an Adam Sandler movie with Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider. I had a small part.
Animal, Animal. The Animal. I had like three or four lives. Yeah, that was my first movie ever in theater. And then Fast and Furious is what kicked off the roller coaster.
What part of animal was you at? It was a small part, man. Straight up. I was in this part where they rolled.
up on the corner, there was some...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The graffiti in the background and he goes
told him, we boxed at y'all.
And I told him, what's up?
What you doing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that was your first movie.
Adam was my favorite movie.
My first movie ever did it.
Okay, I was what I knew exactly.
I just didn't know the role.
Yeah, yeah.
So when I saw it in your just, this biography,
I was like, let me ask him, bro.
I wanted to be shocked.
No, no, I got you.
I got that.
It was funny, though.
Wait, hold on time about.
Go ahead.
We can't, we can't.
You know, we can jump at it.
How did your first movie become fucking a thing?
How did you get that role?
Animal.
Well, it was funny, man, because we had this audition in the way that they did it.
They did it right there on the spot.
So when we first initially went out for that movie, we were cast it as extras.
And they said, you know what?
We want to give some of you, well, I take that back.
They go, we want to give one of you a speaking part.
Okay.
So what they did literally is they lined up 10 of us.
They auditioned us right there on the spot.
All Mexicans?
All Mexican gags or whatever.
And they, uh, ten Cholos, there was like a lineup.
All we were messing was the numbers.
And, uh, long story short, man, they lined us up and they were like, say this line,
say this line, say this line.
And they picked us right there?
And I was the one who got picked.
And then you was like, this is my neighborhood, right?
What you said?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, right there, they let us play with it.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it was on the spot.
They let us improvise a little bit.
So we got to, we got to mess around a little bit.
And so, so, I've never, ever in any movie I've done stuck to script.
I don't think I'm the
Yeah, you can't
He can't
You can't
You gotta make it your own man
It's mandatory
You can't
You can't
So, okay, boom
Now
I imagine you take your family
To go see
Animal in a theaters
Or no?
No, no
No
No
No
Why?
Well, I don't got no family
Okay
So yeah
I never met my mom
Or dad's side of family
So I
Anyway, it was not
It was just me
But
Wait I know your dad
I know your dad went on the cruise
My dad left me at 13
Right
He bounced out
And my mom left too
I don't blame my mom
That's a whole other story
That's a whole other rabbit hole
You know what I'm saying
But yeah
And my parents were the only two
To come to the United States
To start a living
From their family
Yeah
So I never in my life
Met my mom's side of the family
Or my dad's side family
So the way I got no cousins
Brothers, sister, nieces nephew
Uncle and Grandma Grandpa
I got no family
Straight up
I'm the only Mexican with no family
You guys got some you want
I'll take them straight up man
I'll take them, knock.
You got to start fucking, man.
You got to create your own.
Jesus.
I got some kids out there I don't know about, bro.
So is it true that your father's friend was a millionaire?
Yeah, he owned the company.
He asked him to come around.
He owned the company that my dad worked at,
and my dad was a fisherman on the side.
He loves scuba diving.
And one day this guy straight up, he just asked my dad.
He said, you want to come selling around the world with me on this boat?
and my dad came home one day and said I'm but he said he told my dad he said if you come with me you can't bring your kids yeah can't bring your kid with you it's crazy so within two weeks my dad just wrapped it up and he put everything in storage and bounced out and he sold the house sold the house everything talked to you like this is what I'm a dude yeah well he didn't really talk to me per se my mom was the one who talked to me but I called it the two weeks of hell because my mom was arguing with my dad saying you know what type of man have you become who are you who did I marry you
and I saw her fight tooth and nail like for two weeks
begging and pleading and crying and screaming
begging my dad not to leave.
And, you know, then I went up to my mom.
The reason why I don't blame my mom is because I went up to her
and I said, hey, look, I got a place to live.
But I really didn't, though.
And the reason why I did that is because my dad
was the breadwinner of the family.
So if my mom would have stayed,
it would have been two homeless people instead of one.
So I told my mom, I said, go with my dad, I'm straight.
I got a friend to live with.
This was all made up.
I really didn't.
And long story short, my dad gave me $500 and pretty much said, good luck to me.
So at 13, that's how I got in the street life, started hanging out with the wrong crowd,
started learning how to rent cars without asking people, got into the street pharmacy business.
You know what I'm saying?
We were part-time movers too, and what we would do was move things on, like, other people's houses to, like, where we were at.
And we did a lot of that stuff, so yeah.
Did your parents, did they ever come back around?
My mom did, but I haven't seen my dad since.
Wow.
Is that when your connection comes from East Los Angeles or no?
No, so just so you guys know, I call it Hollywood.
I don't call it Hollywood.
I call it Hollywood, you know what I'm saying?
So, yeah, when the acting kicked off, that's when I moved to L.A.
And I was living in Gardena, and I lived in Gardena for about 22, 22, 23 years.
And then I came back to Orange County.
Okay.
Yeah, because I had to get the hell up out of Gardena.
Man, that place was hood as hell, bro.
There was times I came, literally was taped off.
I couldn't even go to my own spot, you know what I'm saying?
And where's the garden?
It's like 15 minutes from Compton.
It's right next to Englewood, all that.
Is that considered East Los Angeles or no?
No.
No, I'd say, like, I don't know, West Los Angeles.
Okay.
Yeah, West.
Okay.
Now, something that, you know, you know, just looking you up and stuff like that.
I didn't know.
He's doing his research.
I'm going to be honest.
I'm going to be honest.
Someone Googled Noree real quick, man.
Put a dance in the facts in front of me, that.
Hold up, man.
He didn't have history on you.
I got a couple questions about a cell, boy.
But it's something that I didn't know.
No, go ahead.
The first time I ever heard of Orange County was this movie about Jack Black.
I know I'm, I'm lame.
I know I'm from New York.
No, you're good, man.
I never kind of like.
Put it together.
I never put together that there's the same Arrest County that I used to see on the news.
Oh, got you, gotcha, got you.
Like, I thought Jack Black's, Arnest County was something totally different.
From the one over there.
Yeah, but the one over there.
I had no idea.
You were on a different page.
When I'm looking up
your shit and I'm like, oh shit, he's some
Orange County. I'm like, but not the Jack Black one.
I'm sitting back and I did not
realize that. So
I mean, it's a big county.
Describe me. I didn't know when I was little
and then we moved to Southgate.
Oh, so you were out there too.
I was born in L.A.
Oh, you were? Okay, God. But you lived
in Orange County, though.
Well, when I was a little kid
and my parents supper and we ended up in Southgate
in Huntington Park and all. Okay, gotcha.
Yeah, that's L.A.
Yeah. But you know Orange County
because you probably went to Disneyland.
Well, I mean, yeah, later on.
Yeah, I'm just messing with that.
But we lived in the hills in Anaheim, for when I was like two years old, and then the rest was
Southgate.
Yeah, yeah.
So let's just say Perch County is just a lot more peaceful than L.A.
Let's just put it to you like that.
But y'all have gangs, though.
Oh, yeah, no, they got hood out there all day long.
Yeah, they got hood out there all day long.
It's just, it's just, there's a lot more spots that are more peaceful and safe than L.A.
L.A. is pretty much a mess all over the place, except Beverly Hills.
Right.
Maybe you probably see hills becoming a mess.
Well, now it is, but back then, when it was more controlled slash discipline slash, you know, whatever, it was, it wasn't, it was safe.
Other than the Mendez brothers, man, they jacked up.
Oh, yeah, I'll be watching there on Netflix.
They jacked up Beverly Hills, bro.
Okay.
So let's describe something, right?
In the East Coast, like, the Latinos and the blacks kind of like, like, it's kind of like, I don't want to say the same, because it's not the same, but it's like, we might.
migrate. And
California,
for some reason, it's like
the prison system even lives
outside. Like, Mexicans stay with
Mexicans, black stay with the blacks, the white state with
the whites. Why do you
think it's like that? Because of the prison system,
I'm asking. Yeah, no, no, no. It's kind of
funny, man, because that's the part that's
where I think it's stupid, you know,
at one time in your life,
hopefully you mature up, you know what I'm saying?
And it was kind of whack
that you don't get along on the
streets and you might have murdered an enemy, but now you go inside prison and you got to get
along with who you murdered and hated your whole life or was taught to hate or be against
or whatever, you know what I'm saying? So to me, it just made no sense. I'm like, I'm in life
because of one of you, you know, and now I got to get along with you? Like, nah. So it's a lot,
it's a lot different out there, you know what I'm saying? And out there to keep it 100, if you were
black and you grew up
with the Mexicans from birth,
then you get accepted that way.
Like, will I have? Yeah, yeah.
Then you get kind of accepted that way because
you know, you were there from, you know,
so there's like an exception. But the other Mexican
gangs that are full on Mexican are like,
nah, that's wrong. You know what I'm saying? He's black.
He shouldn't be in a Mexican gang. Right.
So they keep it, you know, separate,
even on the outside. You feel what I'm saying? Unless
there's a special cause like that or something
like that. Because I asked what I am on camera.
And then you got some Mexicans who, you know,
quote unquote, because I don't want to say one person
talks this way or that way. I'm talking
about the majority. You got Mexicans who
talk black, and then you got some blacks who talk Mexican.
Yeah. And that's kind of like, what?
Like, it trips you out a little bit. I see that.
Damn, what the fuck I'm about to say?
About who?
Well, I am. All the Q card here?
Yeah, yeah, because I was like,
I talked to him on camera and
off camera, right? Right, right. And I was like,
like, like, because
I get your story, Bob.
Yeah, go ahead.
23, 22, 23 years ago.
I meet this girl from East Los Angeles, right?
East Los.
East Los.
She always has come to see me.
She never invited me to go see her.
Oh, really?
She kept you in the safe zone.
Never invited me to go see her, right?
Yeah, you started tripping at one point.
No, no, I'm fucking nor.
So I didn't go, I don't care.
I don't want to go.
Anyway, but I wanted her to know that I wasn't scared or whatever.
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the on
Unpurpose podcast, recently I had a conversation with the one and only, Madonna.
When I was broke and I had no friends, nowhere to live, I was held up at gunpoint, I was robbed.
All these horrendous things happened to me.
I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me in New York is better than what my life was.
So I'm not going back.

I'll come to pick you up this time.
She was like, no, like you can't come to my neighborhood.
And I was just like, holy shit, right?
And I was, he was like, yo, you know, I know that you're Puerto Rican, but most people are not going to look to see if you're
Puerto Ricans, they're going to just see a black person.
And right now, and I was like, I'm getting along with this motherfucker and everything.
And then she would like this to me.
She leaned her lip down.
And that's just said, I don't know what gang is that, bro.
I was like, oh shit.
And she was like, I belong to the hood.
Oh.
She didn't say I'm one of the streets.
But she was just like, she was like this.
I was like this.
whatever gang it was I knew it
but I'm assuming that she was trying to keep
you safe by telling you
yeah that's what I'm saying
you got to respect that
years later now
she realizes you're trying to give me something
she ain't putting you in the dangers though
and you feel what I'm saying
I was kissing this bitch and everything
yeah
you're kicking
you're kissing the game
kissing the game
that's fun bro
I don't know
you tell me this later
man
After I mean, I know she's going to see this and be like, damn.
You got to respect that side of her keeping you safe, you know what I mean?
She could have put you in the red tape quick and it could have been on.
Yeah, no, very, very true.
You could have walked into something ugly, you know what I mean?
So she loved you back in my point.
Yes, yes, let's make a point.
There was something out there back on me.
She saved my life because I never went, boy, I never win.
You're still here.
So, now, now, you're in arguably one of the most.
Hoodish watched
movie of all time
and not only that
you have one of the most classic
scenes
in the movie
I still believe Denzel
to this day
I think he was everything
I think he was smoking crack
I think he was fucking bitches
I think he was singing
that's hilarious
he took method acting
no no no that scene
I'm not going to lie
when y'all sit in there
and you're like
I get my shit pushed in
and I'm like
yo
that shit was intense
yo even after I met you
I was still scared of you
like I was like
that scene
I met you
I'm like this is a great guy
I was like
that scene never left man
that's hilarious
it never left
so all right
that's hilarious
so it's a two part question
I've heard a lot
but not that yet
go ahead
okay two part
let's start with the first part
go ahead
where was you at
when you get the call that you're going to be
in a movie called Training Day, and did
it, and did they tell you, this is the second part,
did they tell you that who was attached to it, or they just said
you're going to audition for training day?
Yeah, I know, so when I first got the call for that flick,
everything was hush, hush, they really kept that one private.
You know what I'm saying?
I just knew I was going and auditioning for a movie,
but, you know, it was funny at that time
because, you know, at that time, I didn't have, you know,
I had a little bit of bankroll,
but I didn't have bankroll like that, you know what I'm saying?
So I had a fixed-up Honda, some rims,
I came in bumping, and I didn't even know, and this is what's funny, man.
I'm going to put a fun fact on here.
I didn't even know that I rolled up on accident in front of them.
They were shooting a music video at the time, and I don't know for who or what,
but the director of Training Day, Anton Pukwa, was shooting a music video,
and I just rolled up in front of their whole scene and jacked it up.
And I didn't even know that, bro.
I just thought it was some people hanging out, chilling.
I didn't notice the cameras, nothing, or whatever.
And so I straight up just rolled up
And I was bumping the music
And I'm mad dog and everybody
And it was crazy
Because his little brother
No, Curtis, his little brother
Not Antoine
Antoine got a brother
Name Curtis
Yeah
And so Curtis comes out
And he goes
He goes, my brother's looking at you man
He goes my brother's looking at you
And I'm like, I'm like
Who the hell's your brother, dog?
I don't know he's like
He's the director that you're about to audition for
I was like oh
all right so I walked in and we just got into a conversation because he was like hey you know I was in the middle of filming and you just rolled up in the middle of the fact and I was like oh I'm bad dog I didn't even know you know I didn't do that on purpose whatever so long story short we ended up getting into like a 45 minute conversation you're Antoine yeah and we were just chopping it up and I didn't even get to read the part for him at that time he just said I'm gonna bring you back and I said all right cool meaning that was your audition right there that was pretty much my audition right
There, so when he saw me roll up like that, he was like, man, you know what?
Like, you already had me kind of.
So I was like, all right, cool.
But you know how this business is, man.
I make a joke.
If everyone would have kept all the promises that were made to me, I'd be a billionaire.
Right, right.
I'd be a billionaire.
You feel me?
This business is funny.
So you don't know who's going to keep word or not or what, you know what I'm saying?
And then, long story short, though, he ended up keeping word.
He was one of the solid ones, and he brought me back.
And I was like, cool.
Then I did the audition.
and then long story short,
when I got the call for my agent,
then I found out who was attached.
Okay, so all right, so you do the audition.
Now,
they're not telling you who's attached.
They're not telling you.
They top secret with that,
because that was Dead Zell at the time.
Do you know me?
This is a big budget film, or do you think this is...
No, no, no, I came in
not really knowing nothing about the film.
Yeah, yeah, continue.
And the name of the movie at the time
was called Rampart.
This was based on a true story.
Which is another reason why to keep it top secret.
And the Rampart Police...
Rampart?
It was because that's not a good.
No, the Rampart Police were doing that in real life.
Oh.
That was a place in California called Rampart Police.
You heard these stories.
Like this is this.
Oh, yeah, you know about this, right?
Yeah, this is the NWA police?
Pretty much.
Yeah, yeah.
Pretty much.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, they gangsters with badges, bro.
And long story short, yeah, this was like, this was based on a real story on a real
police department that was doing this type of stuff in real life.
And it was the Rampart Police Department.
So they initially named the.
movie Rampart. But Rampart threatened them and said, if you move through with this movie
and you keep it that name, you know, just against us, we're going to sue you. So then they
change the name to Training Day. Okay. But that movie was all based on true facts. Okay. Okay.
And also, I don't know. So you audition. Go ahead. Do they tell you you got the role?
How does this work after the audition? So, yeah, so I auditioned whatever and I didn't get the call to like
three days later, and then my agent called me
up and said, hey, they like you, they want to move forward with
you, here's the deal, and then there it is.
And then, yeah, and then we do it, and it's
done deal. And then you sign the contract first,
and then they tell you who's it stashed? You sign the contract
on set, you know, the agent,
you know how it is, your agency has a lawyer
firm inside the agency, and, yeah, yeah,
you know, so, that's just, I'm like,
he tested me, or what?
No, no, no, no, this is a fan,
I know, I know, I know, I'm saying, you don't know, man.
We signed a contract about that thing, you know what?
So, um, okay.
No, no, so that was it.
Yeah, they called me, they tell me I got the role,
and I was like, oh, okay, cool, let's go.
And then later, when I got the call, that's when I found,
I said, who's attached?
I said, Denzel, what?
I said, I'm in a movie.
And, you know, you want to flick with Den, man,
you got to come on your hey game, you know what I'm saying?
Right.
And so that was it, Doc.
And did they tell you that you was going to have a scene with him?
And no one knows who Ethan Hawke is at the time, correct?
They kind of knew, but, I mean, that's the movie that put him on the map,
but he was kind of known before that.
He did the movie Alive, the true story about the plane that crashed and they had to eat people in the snow.
He was on the come-up, yeah, he was, like, on the brink of, like, you know, but that's the movie that, like, slapped him on the map, like, you know.
So, now, all right, because I'm okay, because I'll go out.
No, yeah, go, I know, you bounce around.
We cover this earlier.
So, I'm with it.
So they say to you, um.
I go with the flow, down, right?
I go with the flow.
So they say to you that, that scene.
I get my shit pushed in all the time, duh.
Like.
Well, how was that scene on that?
paper, though.
How much did you guys?
I'm going to keep it 100, man.
You guys are asking 25 years later.
I forget.
I forget, you know what I'm saying?
You're going deep on me now, bro.
But I'm like, I really don't remember.
But I could tell you this, though.
Okay.
I do remember this, though.
Antoine was very flexible.
He let us improvise the scene and have some fun with it
just to see how we would work it out
and how we would roll
and how we would end up doing it,
whatever, whatever.
But when we got to the bathtub part,
we had to stick.
When he put the gun in the area?
Yeah, yeah.
He was L.A. cop.
We had to get our revenge.
He was ready,
Doc.
Hey, we had to get our revenge,
you know what I'm saying?
We had to get our leave, you know?
I was like, this time we get our turn,
you know what I mean?
But, um,
wait, what do you want me to do that?
Okay, he wants you to see your bathroom seat.
Oh, yeah.
He's like, you got to see it, man.
That's hilarious, bro.
I was like, thanks for the repress, bro.
Thanks for the repress.
He lifted, man.
I was like, no, that's it.
That's it does look gangster, though.
Good thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, Paul, you're right.
That shit does look gangster.
I mean, hey, we had that full hammed up, you know what I mean?
But, yeah, it was a good scene that came together good.
And, yeah, so a lot of people love it, man.
No, but you were going to say when you got to that scene.
Oh, no, I was going to say it.
So, like, when we got to the bathtub,
scene, that's when we pretty much had to stick to script.
Because we couldn't, you know, change
the story, of course. So that's where he just got
a little bit more like, hey, you guys
can still ad lit, but try to stay on page more.
You know what was
messed up? And let me
tell you another fun fact about that movie real quick.
That's the first movie ever.
I want to go back to what you said. That's why.
That's the first movie ever
that Denzel Washington played a bad guy.
That's the history.
That's the history on that. Every other movie he's ever done,
was a good guy. That's the first movie
ever he played the bad guy.
I don't know about after a what.
Frank Lucas. Frank Lucas.
Yeah. Which is right here.
Oh, yeah, yeah. American gangster.
That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, uh, what's up?
We just asked that, right?
Yeah, what's fucking need for you, dude?
What are you drinking, bro?
He's like, catch this ball.
But hey, you wanted to do a review.
That's all right. That's all right.
So tell us about that movie.
So start over with Tracy.
any day and we'll go. No, I'm playing.
So this guy.
Yeah. He's not
Mexican? No, he's from New Zealand.
Yo, that shit fuck me up, bro.
He's in a lot of movies since then, too.
This guy plays Pablo Escobar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, straight up, man.
He's doing, take your glasses off.
Yeah, and I forget what movie it is, but he also plays
a black guy. He plays a black guy
in another movie. Yeah, he plays a black guy, man.
Yeah, he does, where he got dreads.
Get out of it. I know he plays Arab in another movie, too.
He plays Arabic, yeah, like a terrorist or something.
I get what movie it was, but there was, but my point is that guy's a chameleon.
That guy can pretty much play anything, bro.
But for training day, yeah, we flavored them up.
We took him out cruising on Whittier Boulevard.
Okay, yeah.
We told him out of dress, how to talk.
But nobody looked at him crazy for playing the role.
Well, if you notice, he didn't say that much.
You know what I'm saying?
But we schooled him.
We had two, three days to school him and then put him on the map, and then he did what he did.
Was there any issues on set?
Like, we heard the stories about America and Me when they were filming.
They had issues on set.
This was different because this was about the cops.
You know what I'm saying?
So as a Latino actor, you should know better to kind of stay away from cartel-type movies, stuff like that, you know.
Unless you want to be a mark later, you know.
Because we know that when they filmed the jungles, they was actually in the jungles.
We know when they filmed the Bloods, they was actually in the Blood.
Yeah, yeah.
Was that in a real Los Angeles?
Yeah, yeah.
That was in the actual jungle.
So Bone, who...
I'm talking about your scene.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
My scene, the front of the house was in Boyle Heights,
but the inside of the house was actually a sound studio.
That was a fake set.
Yeah, yeah, that's Hollywood for you.
But that was a fake set, so yeah, we shot there.
Now, filming the movie, like a lot of times you do classic shit,
you do legendary shit, but you're in it,
so you don't really understand.
Did you understand that that was a legendary cult movie
as you was filming, or did you, did you,
Did you realize that after it came up?
Well, you kind of think that already because Denzel's attached.
You know what I'm saying?
So you already think and know, like, all right, this is going somewhere.
You know what I mean?
Right.
So I kind of thought about it on that side of things.
But about the actual movie, movie itself, you never know, because every movie's a gamble.
You know what I'm saying?
You could think you got the best movie in the world and then you make it and nobody else
likes it or cares for it.
You know, rents it or watch.
Or you can get cut.
You know, one thing I learn in life, man, I never celebrate until it's always.
You know what I mean?
Some people celebrate too early.
And then they're like, damn, I went in a big scene.
I'm cut out.
And so I don't celebrate until it's over.
But long story short, no, I didn't know that movie was going to do what it did.
You know what I'm saying?
But, I mean, I didn't.
I didn't because I didn't and I did because Denzel's attached.
So you think it's going to.
Makes sense?
Yeah, so I did it like that.
So what was your favorite movie you ever done?
Man, the one that paid the most, bro.
To be real with you, man.
I got a lot of favorites, man, straight out.
You know, I've been very blessed in my career to be able to work and stay work.
And I've been in the biz over 35 years.
And, you know, I've been doing it since 15.
So I've been in the biz for a minute.
But I got a lot of fun movies that I, you know.
Stay at 5 on top.
You know, training day was one of them.
Absolutely.
Fast and Furious, you know.
One, man, five.
Now you're going in on me.
Oh, Malibu's Most Wanted.
That's a good one.
Yeah, that was a fun.
I'm out of boo.
That was a fun one to work on us.
BRAB.
Yeah,
BRAB.
They're trying to make a part two to that,
they should make a part too.
Yeah, they're trying to come back with that.
I don't know, man, you got me.
Let's just go with three.
Let's just go with three for now.
That's four.
No, I was three.
Oh, you didn't name Bruce Almighty?
Bruce Almighty was fun.
We could throw that in there.
That's four.
So then we never need one.
How about the mummy's movie?
You guys were great.
We get to that later.
Yeah, you're trying to save that.
You get to that later.
Yeah, yeah, you're trying to save that, man.
You do what he did
I was Denzel to work with
Yeah I was
I'll play
One more one more
Man you got me on this one dog
Do we got a pause button
No I'm playing
I don't know
Let's just go with those for now
Okay
I really don't know
I can't even think right now
Straight up right
What is a movie
What will hit me later
We'll go with seven mummies
Since he said
We'll go with that
We'll go with that
All right so what is the movie
That you got
Or that was offered
That you just was like
You thought that this
I'll keep it real with you, man
I'll keep it 100. So to
each their own, I got
no judgment, again, to each
their own, I got no judgment, you
do you, you know what I'm saying?
But I will not do a movie where I play a
gay guy, I will not do a movie where
I got to wear a dress. I'm like Dave
Chappelle, you ain't putting the dress on the black man,
on this black man, like that I.
So there was
a movie, and I even forget the name
of it, man, but I'm like, nah, I ain't doing
and broke bad gangsters, I'm good, bro.
There was a movie where I got,
and again, to each their own, no judgment,
I'm just saying, not for me, you feel
me? Like, I ain't going there.
I ain't going there.
But, you know, I'm old school.
I'm still not used to guys wearing pink, you know what I mean?
I'm not even used to that yet.
But again, I'm old school, no judgment.
I'm just saying what's, you know, my real.
But I got a movie where I was offered
a gay role,
and I was like,
and they were offered me a lot of money.
And was it still Hector?
No, I know, right?
I was like, now they're pushing it too far, right?
I was like, no, you've got to come in a switch.
But, no, man, so I just, I didn't take the role.
Okay.
So, yeah, there were some movies that came at me straight up, and I was like,
nah, I'm good.
Okay.
Even though I would have got paid fat.
Wow.
And I turned to death.
So, yeah.
Do you hate people, like, name Hector in real life?
No, no, I'm good, man.
Noria, like, what are you going through?
Is this countably done or what?
I thought it was a joke, right?
I thought it was a joke.
And I'm like, and I'm really.
And I'm really going to you as a scography
and it's like, yo, he paid Hector 38 times.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'll give you the quick story on that, man.
So in Hollywood, they only know two names
from Mexican actors, bro.
It's Hector and Carlos.
Because every time I ever got a script,
I kid you not, it was Hector or Carlos.
It got so bad that my man...
They can throw Jose in there?
That's what I'm saying.
Like, come on, we got other names out there.
You know what I mean?
Pablo, whatever, dog.
I'm like, we got names of him out of him.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, let me talk to someone, you know what I mean?
I'm like, where's the heart of this happening from, dog, straight up?
No, it got so bad that my manager would call me up.
I kid you not.
She'd be like, you're not going to believe this.
And I'm like, what?
She goes another role for Hector.
I said, are you stupid or what?
I go, you're playing, right?
She's like, I ain't playing.
I'm like, all right, whatever, right?
So, yeah, dog, like, so this is the quick way of saying it.
It truly, really genuinely started out as a coincidence thing, but as it happened so much coincidentally, I just made it a thing.
So now I was like, you know what, I'm going to write this out.
And that's it.
But what I love about it, though, is I'm the first actor ever to break that chain.
There's been no other actor out there that has played a different role with the same character name.
I'm the first one to do that.
So that's my...
So I take, I'll drink you that.
So I feel like that's my own little personal tag, you know?
You know, like every actor, like you got your own niche, slash gift that makes nory,
norie, that no one could top, you know, that no one.
And this person got his gift and his gift and his gift and so on.
I take that as my little, you know, my little token, you know what I'm saying?
So whenever I quote unquote got the power to do it, whenever I do a movie now or whatever,
now I actually request it, I say, hey, man.
I'm about to ask me that.
Yeah, now I was going to say, like, hey, can I be called Hector in this movie?
And 90% of the time, they say, yeah.
And so I'm like, of course, Hector.
Yeah, I'm going to think it's my real name.
I'm about to go to the DMV and switch it up, making my middle name or something, you know what I'm saying?
So, yeah, long story short, the Hector thing, I'm just writing it out until, you know, whatever, until the wheels fall off.
Right.
Do you ever think you'll play a doctor?
You know what's funny, man, you say that one right there, because if I play a doctor, now I'm acting.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if I play a lawyer or something like that, now I'm acting.
Right, right, right.
But, you know, pretty much all the roles that I've done have pretty much been me in real life.
Yeah, yeah.
And so I laugh because I got a lot of actor friends.
But you know how it is.
Now I just slap a camera in front of you and you just do you and now, hey, you're an actor.
Right, even though, you feel me?
Right, right, right.
So I just, I just, you know, I love to be challenged, though.
Right.
I do want to, I believe if no one gives you the opportunity, give the opportunity to yourself.
Right.
So I do love to be challenged.
So now I've been taking on different roles where I just did a movie where I played a cop.
It's called Locksmith, yeah, with Ryan Philemy and Ving Rhames.
Okay.
And so I got that one.
And then I got some other flicks where, you know, I do play some different roles.
But I ain't going to lie in front, you know, 85% of the time I'm just playing me.
Hector.
Yeah, hecker.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm like, cool.
You know, if it ain't broke, I ain't trying to fix it.
Let's roll with it.
Got damn.
Makes a noise.
Yeah.
Is it, is it?
Did you ever feel, like, stagnated by, like, you know what, like, I mean, for instance, like, I get the black guy role, right?
If I'm a, right, right, right, like, pigeon-held to me?
Yeah, that's what I was trying to say.
You ever, you ever felt like that, or not really, man, because, you know, my thing is, is you got, you got to get in first to change the game, you know what I'm saying?
And this is what got me in to be able to change a game and start making some other movies where I could play different roles.
But, you know, it's fun playing the bad guy.
You know what I'm saying?
I want to play a good guy.
That's boring.
But, you know what I'm saying?
So, long story short, if I can keep on playing these roles, I'm cool with it.
I ain't tripping.
But, again, that don't mean that I won't take on the role of a doctor or something else.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
A dog walker?
I don't feel like I'm, you know, pigeon-held or whatever.
Because, again, I'm doing other movies that are making me break out of just that character also as well.
Would you play a dog walker?
A dog walker.
Like a dog walker.
You tried to do dog whisper or what?
Heckser.
Isn't that guy your name?
to that dog was for a right no
I think so
the dog training guy that
no his name is Cesson
you were giving up some multiple choice
so true he'd pick up all his movies
so I want him to say something about each
each and every movie
damn we're going to be here for a minute
yeah I'm like man
yeah what are you eating over there
Mr. Lee
you was on the Walking Dead
I saw that in
yeah so I was I was on the first season of the Walking Dead
man um that was cool
That, see, that was a different role right there.
You know, I played a nurse.
Oh, really?
And that movie, yeah, I was like, you know, just the guy I was given the medication
and old people's home, a convalescent home.
So that was kind of a different role.
But yeah, there's, like I said, there's something out there.
But I got to think, man, like you put my thinking cap on and I can't even,
I'm stuck right now.
I can't even.
Do you feel there's much of a difference the experience of doing a movie versus, like, you know.
Television?
Yeah.
In a television show, you can't ad-lib that much.
And a television show, they're a lot more locked on the script.
On a television show, you've got to pretty much stick word for word.
And movies, you get the freedom of being able to make it your own and play with it and do whatever you want.
But in a TV, and I first learned my lesson on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
When I did Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which was one of my first biggest shows that I did, show-wise, I came in, and I went all off script.
And the director was like, oh, yeah.
And, dude, Sarah, Michelle Geller got all upset.
What are you doing?
I was like, I'm doing the scene.
What are you doing?
Right?
I'm doing the part, you know what I mean?
And the director came was like, what the hell are you?
I go, what do you mean?
I go, yeah, I do movies.
I ad lit up all the time.
It's cool.
He goes, well, this isn't a movie, man.
That's a TV show.
And he goes, you stick to word.
Dude, I had to learn that thing in five minutes or less, bro.
I was stressed out like a mug, you know what I'm saying?
So I came back and thank God at that time.
I was good at my memorizing skills or whatever.
I learned it in five minutes or less.
And I pretty much came back 98%.
word for word and he was like all right cool but i never got you know in trouble or whatever you want
to call it more than on a tv show for ad libid and that's where i learned my lesson because tv shows
you know they're on channel two four seven 11 13 so they get afraid if you go off script they don't want
you to say something that's not right for the network and then they got to you know not do the show
or air the show or beep or bleep whatever so okay because they already approved that script
yeah that's what i'm saying exactly so there you got a stick word for word they don't mess around
on those ones. You see
an entourage?
Pieces of it, like here and there. I don't watch
much TV, dog, to keep it real with you.
Every time someone's telling me of a new show,
I'm like, I didn't watch the thing you told him about last week.
There's too much to watch now, man.
I can't keep up. I can't keep up. Man, I can't keep up.
I'm still watching Back to the Future in Terminator and Star Wars.
You know what I'm saying? I'm watching
the movies we grew up on, dog, because a lot of the new
crap is crap. Okay.
In my opinion, in my opinion.
We're going to run through a couple of them.
It's hard to find a good movie nowadays.
The joints that you've been in, okay?
And we're going to just say something about it.
The Mustang, 2019.
That movie was cool, man.
That was, what's his name, Jason?
He played EasyE and Straight Out of Compton.
Okay, yeah.
I forget his last name, but he was the star of that film.
That was a cool one.
That was a true story about prisoners who train horses to race.
Oh, shit.
So they actually go out there, they catch wild horses,
and they use the prisoners to train them to race
when you go gamble and place a bet on horse races
some of those horses were wild horses
that were trained by actual prisoners in prison.
That's crazy.
And so I didn't know any of that,
and that's where I learned how to ride horses.
So I got free horse riding lessons on that one.
Wow.
So yeah, check out the Mustang.
It's an okay movie.
I ain't going to lie.
It's 50-50.
It's all right.
Okay.
John Wins, Miramira.
That was a faith.
based movie that we
did. That was an independent
joint. And that movies, I...
Okay.
The mule. The mule was with Clint
Eastwood. Yeah. Yeah, and that
one was a true story also.
And to be a part of that joint was
off the hook. So Clint Eastwood,
working with him, it was crazy because...
Was he racist?
If he was,
I didn't feel it, you know what I'm saying? He was cool
to me, Doug. But I think, you know,
meet you or anyone in this room if he was racist
we would have said something right right
you know but uh yeah
long story short now he was cool to me
he's a legend yeah he's uh dude
that guy's when I did that movie I think he was
pushing 84
yeah and he's acting and directing
yeah and that was a crazy experience
because Clint Eastwood
all his movie he doesn't
he doesn't yell cut
action all his movie he does
sign language so
he literally does sign language with the
on set and action is like the sign language you action and he'll just direct you like real
calmly like all right norie like do your scene and and show me what you got and just do it with him
here and i'm i'm just going to watch and just keep the camera that's how he directs and you're like
all right and you just jump into it and do what you do and so yeah working with clean eastwood was a
trip man it's it's interesting in this business because you work with a lot of directors and to get
to see how they direct different one one guy got this skill set
this guy got this skill set and so on and so on.
So to be able to get that, it just sharpens you on your side of your craft
because you've seen so many different angles of how they come at it.
And it just makes you better.
You know, I say there's no better training than being on the field itself.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
How many movies are you going to go through, gee?
Because I got over like, we can't go through all.
I got like over 200 and something, Doug.
Someone talked to this guy.
El Chicano.
That movie was shot.
out to my boy Ben Bray, El Chicano, that was a movie with George Lopez, and some other cats
were up in there.
Long story short, that movie was kind of like the first Mexican Batman movie.
They were trying to make a Latino, a superhero, and that's what they were going for.
It didn't work out too well, but we tried.
It's called Ricky Martin.
He's already a superhero.
What kind of superhero is he, though?
I didn't know.
Beyond the Skyline.
That was part two.
That was an alien joint that we did.
Sci-fi.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To be on, Frank Grillo was the star of that joint.
And that was part two to part one.
So that was a cool flick to work on.
I knew a producer who I worked with on some other projects,
and he slapped me up in there.
This is going to take too long.
No, no, we got, we got, we only got 80.
It's only two pages.
It's only two pages.
We can pull up everything.
We cold eyes.
Which one?
Recoly?
You got to come with subtitles on that one call.
Recola, car, yeah. Let me see it.
We call.
We call.
Oh, recoil.
Yeah, recoil.
Yeah, my bad.
He was giving you a multiple choice.
I'm just next to him.
He's giving you an ABC.
No, no, dad, no, that.
We good.
No, we good.
No, we could cut that.
No, no, we hear you that.
Now, Recoil.
That was a movie I did with Steve Austin and my boy, machete.
That was a cool flick.
That one I actually liked.
We played some back in the wrestler?
Yeah, yeah.
Did you drink beers?
Oh, yeah, that guy was, he was the nicest guy on set, man, cool cat, friendly dude.
Wow.
Nothing like he is on TV, you know what I mean?
Right.
But long story short, man, he kicked all of our butts on that one.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, he took us out.
Okay.
The purge, anarchy.
Yeah, that was a cool flick, man.
The purge series was hella cool to be in.
He's crazy, man.
That's one of the iconic horror movies out there, so to be a part of that franchise was heck of cool to do the purge.
And I did some purging on that.
You already know, like we said earlier, you black or Mexican, you're going to die.
Right.
And I died.
Right.
Oh, in the movie.
Yeah, I died in the first half hour on that joint.
Okay, yes, yes.
You got purged.
I thought I was purging and I got purged, exactly.
The Dark Night Rises.
Yeah, yeah.
So that movie was hella cool, bro.
They put a Cholo in Gotham City, you know what I mean?
I did a movie with Christian Bell, Terry Cruz.
and it was called Harsh Times.
And I worked with Christian Bell for like two weeks on that flick,
and we got kind of close.
And long story short, he recommended me for Batman Dark Night Rises.
And he was like, yo, I want my boy Noel G in this flick.
And at first I thought it was a joke.
I was like, you kidding or what?
And ended up being real.
And so, yeah, man.
So I had a little spot in the...
And that I love, man, because that was my first big superhero movie that I got to do.
And so to be a part of that,
Batman? Come on. That's an iconic film, you know what I'm saying? And that's, that's when Batman was good. I'm not feeling Batman part 58 and, you know, 62. And all these remakes are lame as hell to me. But that's what Batman was good. So to still be a part of it at the birth of Batman, I'm happy about that.
All right. Training Day. We covered that, didn't we? Okay, yeah. We went deep on that one. Oh, I know what you're doing. We're covering Cheney Day for Homeboy. Where's he?
That's right. That's right. I'm playing.
Reviews I've trained to do now, I think training they cover, bro.
That's the name of this podcast.
Three trash, Shade.
How long did you train for training?
I know, right?
How long did I train for Tricham?
The Fast and Furious, but I think we covered that.
Yeah, I kind of child support case on that one.
Okay, what?
What?
What? What? What? What? What? The Fast and Infurious?
I'm playing but I'm not playing
Okay
That's the first thing that comes
Wait
Because what I was asking is like the first thing that comes in your head
Fast and Furious was crazy
Because it was like getting paid to party man
There was a moment where I was like are we filming a movie here
You know what I mean like straight up dog
And that's why we came up with the family line
And Fast and Furious
Because it truly felt like a family
Like all of us were just hanging out chilling
As a matter of fact
A couple of the scenes that we shot
The director didn't even tell us that we were shooting
And he just caught the real moment
and he was like, that's a rap, everybody go home.
And we're like, what?
We like, we didn't.
And he's like, no, I already filmed it.
I got what I need and he let us go.
So it was straight up like that.
So for that movie, man, yeah, it was
that was another case where I caught a case.
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host
of the on-purpose podcast.
Recently, I had a conversation
with the one and only Madonna.
When I was broke and I had no friends,
nowhere to live. I was held up at gunpoint. I was robbed. Always horrendous things happened to me.
I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me in New York is better than what my
life was, so I'm not going back. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the IHeart Radio app,

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories.
The detective comes driving up fast and just like screeches right in the parking lot.
I swear I'm not crazy, but I think he poisoned me.
I feel trapped.
My breathing changes.
More money, more money, more money, more money.
And I went white.
I realize, wow, like he is not a mentor.
He's pretty much a monster.
New stories, new voices, and shocking manipulations.
This didn't just happen to me.
It happened to hundreds of other people.
But these aren't just stories of destruction.
They're stories of survival, of people picking up the pieces, and daring to tell the truth.
I'm going to tell my story, and I'm going to hold my head up.
Listen to Betrayal Weekly on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Okay, well, it's a rumor.
Okay.
I'll fact check that John Rue was on this set.
Yeah, he was in the movie.
He's in the movie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then when it came time for number two, he said no.
Yeah.
And he missed his whole franchise.
And Ludacris took over.
And Ludacris came to go.
Yeah.
That's, yeah, that one, it ain't even my money.
It hurts me.
That wasn't even my opera to hurt me.
I was like, damn, dog.
I was like, Jack,
rule you might want to double check your answer
triple check that answer you know what I'm saying
okay I'm like you must have money already to turn that down
yeah he did you know what I'm saying he could have used some more that
that one of us good oh man
shout out to Jai man that's right gamer
yeah gamer that was a cool movie that was kind of like the first
video game movie done back in the early day and that
that was a movie with Gerard Butler the guy from 300
and a lot of other flicks and long story short man
And what I loved about that movie, that was in the early day and the birth of the video game world.
And that movie was made like a video game.
And that's kind of what they were going for.
And my boy Terry Cruz was in there.
A lot of cats were up.
Yeah, I did like six with Terry.
That's my boy.
And long story short, man.
What I loved about my career, man, and that I got the blessing for is that starting early in the game, like when you were there.
You know, when I'm there, whatever is we got.
the fresh
you know what I'm saying
like we got it at the birth
of what's happening today
so to be in it from then to now
and see the change and be a part of the change
that's that's a blessing
you know what I'm saying that's crazy
because we know the back then
and we know the now
so I don't know I just love being a part
of some of the films that were like
man I was there when it first started
and I'm here when it's still going
okay harsh times
that was the one that I was just talking about earlier
with Christian Bell
that we worked on that film
and that movie was a pretty crazy movie.
It was Christian Bell played a war veteran
and he went cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
When he left the war,
he didn't get deprogrammed.
So when he came back,
he was like a crooked guy.
It was still a mental case.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, so that was a cool flick.
I would definitely recommend checking out harsh time.
Who was this the...
That my boy David Aaron directed that.
He also wrote Training Day.
Who was his partner in that one?
The actor, that actor?
Freddie Rodriguez, my boy, Freddy.
Yeah, so that was a cool
flick, though, man, straight up. That didn't get its due
justice. There's a long story behind that,
but a lot of people don't know
about that movie, but if you get a chance, check that
out, harsh times. And again,
the guy who wrote Training Day
wrote harsh times. And directed it.
Oh, wow. That movie's hardcore.
Yeah, yeah. It's hardcore. You saw it?
Yeah, yeah. That's what I saw, yeah.
Let's talk about crank.
And did you try to smoke crank
to prepare for the roll?
I'm fucking with you.
I know.
Hold up, man, I sold the crank.
I'm like Scarface. Don't get hired in your own supply.
Make the money.
But, no, long story short, that's a movie with Jason Statham.
And, you know, I mean, again, man, I got to, I was very, very blessed in my career to be able to work with some iconic actors, some definitely bucket list actors, man, that have been in the game and are still strong in the game to this day.
Good looking out.
Thank you.
Good looking out.
Thank you.
Smart Waters.
You try to make me smart.
All right.
And Jason Statenham, what movie was he from?
Oh, he's from a lot.
Gene Jason, Sam.
Who?
Snatch.
All right, that's what I was thinking about.
All right, cool.
He was in front of boxing match.
He was front rowing the boxing match.
He had a lot of joints.
Yeah, he had a lot of joints.
Yeah, yeah, there go.
The bankkeeper, a new joint that this came out.
Yeah, he had a lot.
We could go on and on with his list.
Okay.
Hood of Horror.
That was a movie that I first did with Snoop Dogg.
That was before.
No, I don't know if that was after before Cheney.
I'm trying to think, but it was kind of like a tells from the Crip.
So Snoop Dog played the Crip Keeper.
He's telling three horror stories, and I was in the first horror story that he was talking about.
Okay.
Yeah.
So Bruce Almighty, we already covered.
Blue to horror, man.
You pulled that.
That's a rabbit out the hat right there because that's a classic, you know, that movie.
A lot of people, that's a good Halloween movie.
Halloween coming up, check that one out.
And we already covered Bruce Almighty.
Yeah, and don't get personal before.
We talked about this.
Street Kings.
That was a good.
good one man that's with uh kiano reeves and uh chris uh chris evans okay uh captain america and uh that movie
that was also written and directed by david air who did training day oh wow um he kept me on his
list man i you know a lot of my career i owe to david air thank you bro because uh yeah shot out
to david air man he's a he's a real one man he keeps you in the game and he keeps you in the game
Wow.
And there's very few like that out there, and he's one of the few who does that.
That means you step up to the plate and handle business, too.
Yeah, yeah.
So, you know, when people are like that, you got to return the favor, you know what I'm saying?
But he put me in like six of his flicks.
So the last one being Tax Collector with Shia LaBuff.
Let's talk about cash out.
That's a movie I just did recently, man, with Cuevo and John Travolta.
That's out.
And then Part 2 came out to that, too, High Rollers.
and actually that's part two to part one which is cash out
and me and Cuevo we play John Travolta's right-hand man
so you know John Travolta tells us what to do whatever whatever
and that movie actually that movie just came out about two months ago
so it's still kind of fresh so if you get a chance beep that one out
and where we can find that?
You can find it pretty much on it anywhere.
Okay yeah it's not exclusive to like Netflix or Apple TV
that one is easy to find
Yeah, you got John Travolta and Cuevo in there.
That one's pretty easy to find.
Good.
They just made a part three to it, too.
Oh, shit.
Okay, this is it.
No, no.
The locksmith.
That's the one I was talking about where I play a cop.
Okay.
With Ving Rames and Ryan Philippi, which is actually a pretty damn good movie.
Now, that's not based on a true story or nothing like that.
That's just a movie for entertainment, but it's actually pretty good.
That one I'm proud of it.
I still play a crooked cop.
But I play a cop
How did you prep to be a cop?
Did you do any...
I've been arrested by enough to press.
Okay.
Okay, you want to do the next couple of ones?
It's in front of you.
What happened here?
Replica.
Replica.
Oh, man, that movie, I remember it, but I forget it.
I can't even speak on that one.
I forget that movie.
That's how dope your life is.
He forgets doing it.
that's how
I don't know what you do though man
You got to do some of these movies
And just forget about them
And like when they come out
They come out
You know what I'm saying?
Right
And there's some movies that I did
That's funny because it was named something
At the time we did it
Exactly
Then they changed the name later
And I'm like
Oh, that movie never came out
Right
Find out that it was out
It's been out for five years
And I'm like they changed the name
I didn't even know
Yeah
So I didn't even watch my own flick yet
And they changed it from old
And you know
now they don't even do movie premieres no more that's out the door because of cold
unless you a superhero movie or something like that you ain't doing movie premieres no more
budget wise also because well now they know they're making more money by just slapping it in
everyone's living room now now it's right there you know so just the new world now was it
corsicana uh corsicana yeah that's another movie that i oh that was a cowboy joint that was a cowboy

let me just ask you a question
how was it to work with Denzel
I'm playing
no way we're going to come back to that
no problem
I'll play
I'm playing under the stadium lights
that was a
movie with um i don't even tell me i forget is it lawrence fishburn uh guy from the matrix
boys in the hood he was the dad and boys in there's laurence fishburn right yeah yeah yeah that was
a movie with lawrence fishburn and uh mylo gibson mel gibson son and that movie was actually a true
story okay about a counselor who was counseling people and uh he just he turned around a lot
of lives for the better so that was that was like a good positive like turn your life around
type movie. Okay. Hustle
down. Oh, that
movie. That was a movie
actually I shot here. In Miami.
Okay, wow. And who
was in that movie? It was
Pipple.
No.
I don't know, right?
No, no, no, but you would think that
automatic. Actually, we
should have slapped him in that way, you know what I'm saying?
But it was someone
oh my God, it's going to kill me now.
I'm going to, let's come back to that. Okay.
I got to think now
All right
The cleaner
It's just going
Hit me out of nowhere
The cleaner
Yeah
You got me on that one too
He's on clean now
You're refreshing my memory
Doug straight up
I think I've seen this movie
The cleaner
I feel like I said
Like an assassinate
Yeah
Is that that one
Has?
It could have been
I don't know
Where
I forget
Gee
You got me
Doug
You got me
All right we'll come back to that
I feel like
Has does algebra
When he's Googling
You take
He'd be like
Bam bam
Bam bam bam
Yeah, you're taking me back to the starting.
We've got three more left, right?
Did we get me back to the area?
Okay, War of the Worlds.
That was an alien flick that I did actually with Alec Baldwin.
So that was...
Was he shooting people on a set?
That was...
You know, he shot people, you know what I mean?
No, it was the brother.
Oh, not Alec Baldwin.
It was the...
No, it was Alex.
It was the guy in the guy in the background.
No, it's Alec.
No, it was out like clapping shit.
He's talking about who was in the movie with you.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no, no.
But it was before that mess.
Okay, okay, okay.
But he didn't mean to do it.
You know what I'm saying?
He thought it was a blank.
He thought it was a blank.
That's what they all say.
Half of people in jail said that they thought there's a blank.
No, there was a blank action.
One thing that Hollywood has taught me is this, man.
I'm going to tell you like this.
If you were not involved personally
in the situation,
No, no, I'm saying, well, that too, but if you were not involved personally or know the person personally, you really don't know a damn thing about what you're talking about.
All you know is what was said to you, what was presented, but what you can talk on for sure 100% is what you were involved with personally and who you know personally.
But anything outside of that, you just know what you know by what you were told, seen, or heard.
And you really don't know what you're talking about because you weren't involved personally or know the guy personally to really know.
Makes sense?
Sometimes I be laughing, dog.
Sometimes I call them professional interviewers.
Sometimes I'd be laughing.
You see them people get interviewed on podcasts or whatever.
And I'm like, I know that person in real life.
You might not be clapping the way you're clapping if you knew them the way I know him.
You know what I'm saying?
That's one thing Hollywood has taught me, bro.
But go ahead.
Okay, let's talk about Lazarus.
Lazarus, man.
That's a movie I did with actually one of Tyler Perry's people.
Holly Carter.
Okay.
They're real connected, and that was a faith-based project.
Okay.
Yeah.
Do a lot of faith-based and a lot of sci-fi.
Yeah, I do whatever pays, Doc.
You know?
Well, almost besides what I said earlier.
Right.
It broke back gangsters, I turned that down.
So you didn't pull up the cleaner?
Someone's going to make that movie.
Just tell me.
Just say it.
That's an old joint, man.
I don't even really remember it straight up.
Yeah, I got confused.
Okay.
Let me see what you're talking about.
Yeah.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
That's the cleaner?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This flick was with Bill Pax and Son, but I'll be real with you.
I didn't even see it.
And I didn't read the script, so I don't know what the hell it's about.
There's some movies I do that's kind of funny.
I don't even read the whole script.
I shouldn't even be admitting this on camera, but whatever.
Fuck it.
I just, yeah, whatever.
I'm going to give.
Let me go.
Hey, hey, I'm going to give drink.
Something, you know what I mean?
I'm going for that,
you know what I'm saying?
I'm going to give Trichamp something,
but there's some movies out.
I don't even read the whole script.
I just read my part, do it.
And then when I watch the movie,
I'm like, oh, that's why I had a home boy in the bathroom.
You know what do you think about the Hollywood strikes?
You know, I think a lot of it, you know,
to keep it 100 is, if I'm just keeping it 100,
it's about money.
It's really what it comes down to, man.
It's about money politics
And that's why once again
I say if you weren't involved personally
You really don't know what the real story is
Behind the camera or behind the scenes
You just don't know
You just know what's on Front Street
And that's it, you know what I'm saying?
So I think a lot of it is just propaganda
And BS to keep it 100 with you
And a lot of it is done for again
A money situation most of the time
If we're keeping it 100
You know things like that
So I don't even believe in voting
I believe that's rigged.
You know what I'm saying?
Unless you paper count the vote and who you're going to trust to do that,
I don't even believe in voting.
So, again, these are just my opinions.
Right, right.
You know, I don't put my opinion on anybody else.
I just share the way I share and you take it or don't.
But I just think a lot of this stuff is a waste of time, you know, the strikes.
And they go out there and they talk and they talk and they say, we're going to do this.
We're going to do that.
But at the end of the day, it's all about money.
You know what I mean?
So that's in my opinion, once again.
Have any union like SAG or anything like that?
I mean, you've got to be a part of that to work.
You know what I mean?
So, yeah, you're kind of forced into that.
You know what I'm saying?
But I'm financial core.
And I did that so I can work non-union, union, whatever.
And there's a lot of actors, and I'm not going to name them, that are big-time actors,
A-plus celebrities that are financial core.
And a lot of people really don't know about that.
But again, that's why when you're behind the scenes, you know the stuff that the people
on Front Street don't know.
Well, school is, what is that exactly?
financial core financial core is just something that you can say you're against the union for its beliefs
and it allows you to work union and non-union jobs and so so so what that means is even if they go on
strike and there's let's say there's this whole show going on with the union you could still work
well they all up on strike got it which which is unfair but then it's kind of fair because you know that
some of this is BS right you know what I'm saying it's just about
trying to shut people down and things like that.
But you still got to be a part of the union, like, SAG to work.
But if your financial core, it's like an exemption.
You could, yeah, pretty much.
And that's what I'm saying.
Like independent?
Like, you could do independent.
But again, there's people on union jobs that are financial core that will work a union job as financial core.
Oh, okay.
So that's what I'm trying to say.
Like, there's loopholes.
So you could choose when you work the job, which one you want to be?
Like, if you want to go in at SAG or financial core?
If you're on an independent joint, let's say it's not union.
Right.
And your union financial core, you can work on a non-union job without getting busted by the union.
Okay, got it.
Makes sense?
Yeah, yeah.
But if it's union, you might as well just stay union because it's union anyways and you get the better benefits.
Got it.
Understand?
Yep.
But you could then work union and still get the benefits from the union for being financial core.
Right.
Makes sense?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
You have options, basically.
Yeah.
It's kind of like finding the loopholes to be able to stay, you know,
relevant and working and stay in it without being in it, but you're in it.
Makes sense?
Yeah, yeah, totally.
I'm going to tell you with the music industry, kind of like Amaya is about you guys.
Like, you know, you guys stepped up for the actors, actors against AI, and you guys
actually made a change.
You guys stood up for the writers and guys actually made a change.
That's something that we haven't been able to do in the music industry.
We haven't been able to stand together and say, you know what, we don't, we're not for
this streaming. You know what I mean? Because
so how does it feel
to be a part of an industry that actually did make a
change? No,
it's cool. I think in any industry
you have your pros and cons. In any
industry, there's good and bad. You know what I'm saying?
And this AI stuff, you
know, it's crazy because now
I don't even need you to
be you in a movie. Now I can
just computerize you.
But the problem with that, the
reason why a lot of the actors went against that
is really, again, what I'm coming
back to, which I understand and respect, because, again, this goes so far, this is a whole
another drink chap podcast, you know what I'm saying?
Because it goes so far down the rabbit hole, you know what I mean?
But the thing is now is we didn't want to sign our rights to AI because basically, it's like
what they're doing with Bruce Willis.
Bruce Willis can't work no more, you know, but you can still see Bruce Willis in a movie
as if he was in Die Hard to this day, slap him in a flick.
No, hasn't it been one?
And he ain't, no, but I'm just saying.
Yeah, but I think there's word out there that one is coming back.
Oh, I'll give you, oh, I'll give you an example.
No, I'll give you an example of one that is happening.
Okay.
They're going to AI Paul Walker and Fasten the Furious part of the letter.
Yeah, I heard about that.
So Paul Walker, you know, he passed away.
He's still alive in our hearts.
I love Paul.
Right.
But all I'm saying is in part of.
But how does he come back?
Didn't he die in Fasten Period?
AI.
No, no, no, he didn't die in the movie?
No, he didn't die in the movie.
He just drove like a mystery, right?
Yeah, yeah.
He just drove off and, like, they kind of, like, left him driving off starting a family, and, like, he just went another row.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
Does the family get paid for that?
That's my point.
Okay.
That's the fight.
Do they get paid or do they not?
We don't know.
Wow.
You understand what I'm saying?
And the thing is they're putting probably small print in the contracts.
Well, you know about the music business.
It's like they're putting Tupac on some tracks.
Am I right?
Yeah.
And who's getting paid for that?
And doing shows, like the holograms or stuff like that.
Yeah.
So who's getting paid for that?
Yeah.
That's my question.
Do you know?
No, I don't know.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, you know what I mean?
So it's the same thing with AI.
So that's why they fought it because now it's kind of like I can make a whole movie.
All right.
With Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, The Rock, Kevin Hart, whoever I want.
And they're like, I wasn't even in that flick.
You feel what I'm saying?
I was at home.
And if they buy your image, like, for instance, if you.
Well, that's the thing now, too, is like they could tweak your image.
I could put a mole on your nose.
It ain't like copyright.
It ain't, it ain't, it ain't nor anything.
Because in real life, nor do you don't got a mole on his nose.
But I just put a mole on your nose in this flick.
That ain't you.
That's a whole other brother.
And that argument is like, what's up?
Like, no, no, that's me, clearly.
No, it's not.
You got a mole.
You ain't got a mole.
Like, you get what I'm saying?
That's just, it's like what?
Like, in court, it's the details that jack you up.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's when you sign the contract.
Like, they're putting it in a small print so that they're saying, like, if we make
sequels to this, you're signing off the AI on this.
Exactly.
And you don't even, you know, if you're not reading all that fine print or your agents aren't.
And if you find a way to get over that detail, small, you know, whatever.
Now, it's all on the Mickey Mouse print, you know what I'm saying?
It's jacked up.
So, I don't know, bro.
I mean, AI is, it's a curse and a blessing at the same time.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's happening no matter what.
I know.
That's the thing that we all got to figure out.
Don't get started on that page.
We could go down that, that tattoo.
Well, our show was about giving people their flowers, but they can smell them.
They throw us to what.
they can think them, and they drinks why they can drink them.
They should give you your flowers.
Oh, man.
That's all right.
Yes, yes.
This is your flowers.
That's straight up love right now, man.
Snoop said it's better than a Grammy because it comes from your people.
That's what's up, man.
I love that, man.
Snoop, that's what's up.
Hey, Snoop, you read my shoes, though.
Yes, yes, yes.
These smell or ones?
Yes, yes, yes.
I'm like, come on, no.
Man, that's hell of tight, bro.
That's clean, man.
Thank you, drink champs.
That's awesome, that's straight up.
this goes straight up in the private collection
I got at home so that's what's up
that's a lot of love
that's clean that's clean
yeah drink you has to be doing it
that's right straight up
I can take these to the pawn shop too
they go
what was your best experience
on a movie set
like like
like for me
or worst experience too
I want the best and worse
yeah yeah no
yeah I got the answers for those you know
you know what really sucks to be honest
I'm not going to name names
or put them out there like that or whatever
is sometimes you heard that saying
before don't meet your heroes
I've worked on some sets
where it was really unfortunate
that some of these guys were just
not the nicest guys
and again I ain't going to name no names
you know put it out there like that
but I'm just saying like
it just sucks when you come on a set
and you see someone power tripping
and you know
just acting not right
you know what I mean like me I don't care man I don't care if you're the guy who washes the windows on the building or own the building I'm gonna treat everybody with respect I'm gonna treat everybody nice polite whatever but I uh I've been on some sets where some cats were like damn man like really it's like that right and um and that just sucks you know so that that's the worst thing that's the crappy part of this business and that's why I said sometimes you see someone on an interview right and you're like man if you knew him the way I know him you might not be clapping you might
That's the media trained version of the one.
I call them professional interviewers, you know what I'm saying?
So there's that side of it.
The best part about work, and you know how it is, man.
On a movie set, the best set.
And let me just say this last thing.
I'm going to jump to that.
You know how it is, man.
On a movie set, one bad attitude could ruin a whole set.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got one bad attitude in the mix.
It could just set a vibe throughout the whole.
That thing spreads like a wildfire.
Right.
And the best would have to be trained.
I mean, not trained.
Well, that was a good one, too.
but we're talking about it.
It would have to be Fast and the Furious.
Fast and Furious.
If I go back to it, only because it was like getting paid to party.
I'm being straight up.
I literally didn't even think we were filming a movie.
Right.
And what did you're not filming that?
I thought it was just a bunch of homies hanging out, chilling, wilding out.
Like we did on seven mummies and smoking, we drink, and whatever on.
But it was just like that.
When did it film that?
LA.
LA.
Everything was up in LA.
Like Malibor Air?
No, no, no, no, no.
No, this was in the hood.
They were filming in Englewood.
Oh, really?
Yeah, they were.
right there, bro. They were in Englewood.
Where else where they were filming?
It was next to Gardena, too.
They were filming in Gardena. It was funny.
That was the first movie ever also in my life that I only had to drive five minutes to set.
Every other film, I was, you know, traveling an hour or more.
That was the first movie ever.
I was like, oh, cool.
I got to be there at 2 o'clock.
I'm going to get up at 155.
Oh, shit.
All right.
I roll with you, Doug.
Yeah, I got to talk about.
This is a son of money shit.
He's saving it.
He's saving it.
I'm ready.
He's saved it.
Oh, we going there now?
One of my most awkward experiences, right, was we're sitting there.
We're hanging out.
We hit it off immediately.
You, Danny, my boy, Lizzie.
We sit in there, we're talking.
And I remember the director coming up to me, who's my man.
He did my first two videos.
His name is Nick Questin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Nick Weston came up to me, and he said,
the guy Matt
is a method actor
oh you tell
I know you're talking about
the baldheaded dude
no no no no no
I'm talking about
the lead role
what was the guy
he was in Fast and Furious too
I believe
Oh that guy was a trip
Yeah
Go ahead go ahead
So he comes up to our scene
We did a movie together
We sent this up for you
Yeah yeah
We go on there now
So by the way
I have no idea
What the fuck he's talking about right
So he comes up to me
He goes
He's a man
He's a method actor.
So I'm like, all right.
I'm thinking like method.
Like, he has a method.
He has a method.
He does his shit.
So I'm not understanding this.
He's like, yeah, so he's going to be this character the whole time.
And Nori, norie, back up.
I'm sorry to interrupt me.
I'm going to say this just for two seconds.
You were fresh out the gate on your acting career side of things, right?
This is my second movie.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Okay, I remember that part.
Okay, so go on.
So I have no idea what method acting means
And he said, so then he warns me
He's like, he's going to be the same guy
Throughout the whole thing
And I'm sitting there young smoking weed
I'm like whatever
This guy acting like that the whole time
The whole time
What was this character supposed to be like
Just so we know what he's acting like
So we break out of jail
We break out of jail
And I believe
Because it's the treasure of the seven mummies
When it comes out, it says seven mummies.
But the original title, like you said, that it always changes,
was called Treasure to Seven Mummies.
By the way, I'm going to be honest with you.
I didn't even know that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be honest with you.
Did I like the actual film?
No, right?
Not really, right?
But that experience was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Do you remember Ted Turner?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The guy that's such, I believe Deadwood,
and this is before HBO.
He comes up to us and he goes,
if you guys see a snake,
just back out very slowly.
He's like, they won't attack you.
So we film in the scene,
I don't know if you remember,
and we just see our boys just run it.
We're like,
and I couldn't tell us this is racist or not,
but God comes up to us and say,
your boys are very fast.
I have no idea.
All I know is I hear one of my boys
sing goes oh shit
I dropped the jury so
alright so here's what happened
so here's what happened by the way I'm not
there me and you are filming the scene
I'm going go go I'm filming the scene and there's tumbleweeds
that came and then
I just I really do
see my voice
and his voice just gutted right
where are you guys swimming in the desert?
There's in the desert
you can't control this shit
it's a set but it's not control
there was a red racer on the set
A red race is a snake.
By the way, this is snake land.
We want to call it
Arizona Diamondbacks.
Diamondbacks is a snake.
Right.
I had to find that out.
So anyway, we're filming
and then like I said,
I see my boys just run by
mad fast.
And I'm like,
what the fuck could they be running from?
Like, oh, it's not jokes.
So the guy says,
man, your friends are very
bad.
And I couldn't help with the dick.
Like, what is he saying?
So I go over there.
I go into the, and he goes, and one of my friends, I'm just saying,
man, Ted Turner's buffalo shit.
He told me not to run.
He ran, too.
So apparently, they're sitting there, they're sitting there.
So we were in the film, but then we wanted our boys to get in the film.
So they put on fucking, like, cowboy shit, and they're running around with the spurs.
And they're not really realizing, like, we're still in the fucking jungle.
We're in the fucking desert.
So from what I hear, Danny, I thought that's your boy name, right?
Danny and Leasy, they walked over a snake.
And when they woke it up, I mean, they hit him, and they woke him up.
It's called a red racer because that's probably the only snake that does chase you.
So they went and the snake went out of him.
True so.
And they bowed and my man said my whole jury, he drops it.
Luckily, when you snake didn't want the jury, and the snake wanted to ask.
Snake was looking at it.
Yo, so I'm sitting there, and it was just like a wonderful experience, man.
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, no.
Go on, dude, no.
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the on-purpose podcast.

I had such an unhappy child.
that whatever happened to me in New York is better than what my life was, so I'm not going back.

He's awful
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's a good person, man.
He watched her like Holmes, you know what I'm saying?
But so he, he infiltrates them, and then after he infiltrates them,
January 6 happens, and he goes and testifies against these guys,
and he says, yes, you, I don't have all the footage.
They literally gave him the footage.
Like, this shit is crazy, Nick, I ain't going to lie, you're out of your mind.
Well, they got parted.
Yeah, yeah, but they went to jail.
No, it's just of him.
Yeah.
Oh, damn.
Oh, he's the biggest one.
Oh, yeah.
He's a target now.
Well, he's the thing
is so big up than they're going to deep undercover.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, but that, but, um...
Well, we got to hide them here at Dream Champs.
Oh, yeah, shit.
But that's, that's that, um, what, what movie was that for you?
Because that was my second or third.
What movie was that for you?
Um, that was pretty like, I don't know, man.
Use double digits already?
I don't keep track like that.
You know what I'm saying?
Uh-huh.
What year was that?
Because I had more or less...
Let's Google it.
Yeah, actually, yeah, what year was that?
Because if I know that, and I can kind of,
Oh, 2007?
If it was 2007, it was probably like maybe my 30th or something like that.
Yeah, I was like, probably in there, yeah, yeah.
What?
2005 was close.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was close.
Now, is that when it came out?
Was that when we filmed it, or you did it?
I mean, if that's when it came up, then you filmed it even earlier than that.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I remember when you moved to Miami, you had already done it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Martin Cove was in it
from Cobra Chi.
The girl Serena Vincent was in it
from Cabin Fever. She's a famous
horror star. I played the black guy.
I play the black guy. I fuck and they kill me immediately.
I wasn't too far after
you straight up, Doc.
But it was crazy because... You had a crazy killing, though,
because remember your head rolled down...
I remember that part, Doc?
They took up his whole head, dog, and it rolled, bro.
So they made a head...
I was like, oh, man. They did my boy, Norrie.
like that, man. I was like, nah.
You should have kept the head. Did you?
It was actually a prop head. It looked pretty legit, right?
Remember we were messing with it.
They had a guy to play the stunt guy, and they didn't realize I'm black.
So the stunt guy is white.
No way.
Yeah.
Come on, man.
That's crazy, bro.
Yeah, if you ever look at, what's the shit, Roscoe Jenkins, if you ever look at it
when Monique is hitting Martin, it's the same exact thing.
Martin falls as a white guy.
Like, go look at it, Roscoe Jenkins.
I'm that type
But yeah
That's funny
And I remember shooting the scene
And I remember Nick
Like setting me up
He was like yo
He leaned to the girl
And he said
Scratch him for real
And
So as she's on top of me
She's just
And if you look at the actual shit
I actually push her like
Yo what the fuck
And then I jump out the window
And it's like I'm really mad
Like you know what I'm saying
Because he told her to really scratch me
but I didn't think she was going to really do it.
Right, right, right.
I thought she was going to fake it, like, ah, and she scratched the shit out of me.
And I was like, holy shit.
I was lucky I didn't have a wife back then.
And that's what happens in non-union movies.
Yeah, non-union movies.
That was like that.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
Union wouldn't allow that.
I know how I got, I was, I was, I was, I was, look at what my son says, forced.
Like, I was forced, right?
Like, I couldn't tell Nick Creston, though.
How did that, that movie get to your agent?
because that was an independent film he's a hip-hop director he's not really known in Hollywood
he's known in hip-hop well it was crazy because a lot of the music video directors at that time
were trying to do movies you know what I'm saying like a lot of them were jumping in on that game
because high Williams was one of them I did a commercial with him and that's that's what
ended up happening they all wanted to make that transition because they knew there was more money
in the movies you know what I'm saying so but they still did the music videos as well right
because again remember I said you got to get in to do something you know what I mean
And that was the way they started slowly creeping into the game.
But that one was legit.
I mean, as far as like the agent side, it went through the agent.
Right.
And, you know, then I got the call.
But for that one, I just got a straight offer.
Right.
He did not audition me or nothing like that.
But I got some stories on that set that maybe you don't know about, too.
Okay, hold on.
But I remember when we both showed up, we both brought crew with us.
I brought my homies, he brought him.
I'll let you get one.
I'll let you get that.
But let me just remind you on one thing.
To this day, I mean, you know, the brother passed away.
God bless.
Oh, if you say what I think you're going to say, I got a story for you.
Oh, no, not that.
Okay, no, my DMX.
Yes, yes.
I did the Limex station in Arizona, whatever it was at the time.
I believe Owee Mekana was just coming out.
So I did the Lajax station, right?
And DMAX calls me.
He's like, you're in Arizona, dog?
I'm like, how the fuck you know I'm in Arizona?
He's like, I'll listen to Telemundo, too.
Very racist.
Like, yeah, come on.
There's not telephone, though, man.
He's like, he's like, yo, man, come down.
Because I believe we was in Tucson,
and I believe he was in Phoenix, right?
I remember we drove over there.
Remember we had an hour drive to the band?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I remember, like, I'm like, yo, I'm saying something.
And that's when the dude finally broke character.
Like the lead character, he was like,
was you talking to DMX?
And I was like, yeah.
And he was like, and we can go to the barbecue.
I'm going to rent a van, dog, and we're all going to go.
And then I was like, so it's like, all right, cool.
So we all went in a van.
We all went down.
DMX had a four-wheeler for each and every one of us.
And we went out riding.
I fell.
My whole shit was messed up.
I went back as the only one who went back.
But his was crazy.
Gee, I still got the pictures.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Here's what's crazy.
So the dude, I believe his name is Matt.
I don't know if it wasn't.
You should look at the Lee Roe has in The Seven Mummies.
I believe it's Matt
There's the same hat from past one
So anyway
We get back to the house
And everyone is getting in the pool
And Matt just gets undressed
And he has a thong on
Oh shit
And DMX just gave it to me
You imagine him
You imagine him, man!
And like if you're not from New York
You don't know that
Because we could dis you right in your face
And he was like, yo, you're men's in it, man.
And everybody is laughing, and he does not catch on.
Like, he's sitting there swimming, putting his hair back.
It's like here in the Olympics.
And I'm talking about it.
He gets out, starts doing that.
And then he wants to go back in because they go like, oh, at some point in the night, they go, we hunt our own dinner.
And I was like, what?
And it was like, yeah, we're going to hunt snakes.
And I was like, peace.
So I stayed back
and Matt got right back in the pool
and with this dog on
and it was crazy
to this day
God bless
because you know
DMX passed away
he'll still be like
I remember you brought them
people to my grid
you're mad
and I'll be like
yo ex man
let that shit go
but
that was a great
What was your story?
What was your stories
from this?
No,
that's hilarious
I thought you were going to bring up
something else
but now
I thought you were going to bring up
when he started
tripping
Remember, because we had the weed in the van?
Oh, I forgot that part.
And then when he got caught by the cops, because we were rolling on the RVs or whatever, the ATCs, and the cops started chasing us.
And I just followed DMX, remember?
Oh, I was already hurt.
I went back to the house by that time.
Yeah.
Oh, you were there.
Yeah, I was in there.
Oh, I thought you were there for that.
Oh, my God, man.
So we ride because, you know, we were DMX, so we're thinking everything cool, you know?
I mean, like, now everything legal.
Everything legal now.
And come to find out, it was illegal.
But it was funny, though, because the cops rolled up on us.
I can't even make this stuff up.
Cops rolled up on us, and DMX just jetted out.
And I just followed him.
But Matt, he rolled up to the cops trying to explain a story.
I was like, nah, you don't do that.
Oh, it was hilarious, man.
But they let him go later or whatever.
Remember, he came back like an hour and a half, two hours later.
He was like, oh, I was with the cops.
I almost got arrested.
DMX was mad because he was like, dude, my ATCs,
he thought they were stolen, you know what I'm saying?
It was hilarious, dog.
But I thought, but I don't know if you remember it was funny
because I remember we were all of the van
and then you pulled out the bag of weed.
Oh, yeah.
We were happy because we're going to smoke.
But he was like, you guys got weed in the car?
Good.
Remember he started tripping?
You got to remember.
He was all scared, bro.
Back then, weed was illegal.
That time, you know what I mean?
We were happy campers because you brought the grass with one more thing.
Did you remember that, though?
Yes, I do.
And I'm going to blow up one more thing.
Remember, he started tripping a lot and he was getting upset.
So after that, that's what I thought you were going to bring up.
After that, I fell off of the ATV.
I fell off the ATV.
I got way too drunk, way too fast, right?
And I pressed.
Accelerated?
No, the door I was pressing.
Break flipped over.
Ooh.
I ran into a cactus.
Oh.
Now, if you don't know,
I think I remember that, bro.
Everybody thinks a cactus pokes you.
That's not what it does.
It hooks into you.
So I'm so drunk, I'm like, oh, you know what?
Let me keep drinking.
Because you got to go like this to get the cactus out.
You got to unhook yourself.
So I'm like, you know what?
I'll do this later.
Let me enjoy my, let me enjoy my, whatever, whatever, right?
So you parted with cactus stuck to your back?
So, yeah.
So in the morning I woke up before we went to set,
and I went to the hospital.
They took it all out.
I was like, it's like, like, like, you ever get splinters?
Yeah.
It was something like that, but I'm in the morning.
So they gave me, they gave me, like, painkillers.
Pain killers didn't work.
But you remember the chick from Cabin fever?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, she played nurse on you?
Yo, listen to me it.
I came back and she was like, are you okay?
And I was like, no.
Yeah, right?
I fucked up and they gave me this bullshit shit.
I don't know what she gave me.
She had that secret secret.
But it was the quick fix.
Right.
Because I just looked at it.
I was like, she just looked like she knows she's talking about.
No, no, no, she was so fine.
We just accepted what she was talking about.
No, I didn't even, I swear to go on to that.
It was pretty much.
No, look, look, this is all the Adderalls and all of the things that people do right now.
She had the whole shit.
Like, back then in 2003, she pulled it out, like, Norway, I got you.
What do you feel?
I was like, dizzy.
Sad.
and Katie
over here
she was like
here's this one
for this one
and in half an hour
you come back
you see me
and let me take this one
and I did that shit
she was my nurse
on set I swear to God
I never see that again
like
Hey you got a sexy nurse
on set though
straight up
for three or four days
we had a ball
but I
that's hilarious
I imagine
like the other day
I was watching
Canelo and
and Crawford
right
and not the fight
right
but I'm talking about
yeah I did watch the fight
but we'll get to that
But the camaraderie of them sitting there training with their crews
reminds me of like how a rapper is before you get on set.
It reminds me of, excuse me, before you get on stage.
It reminds me of when you prep for a movie, you're sitting around.
Is that something that you're addictive to, like being on set and like, you know,
having your boys, you know, that probably could never be here and having them join you?
No, I mean, it's cool being on a set, you know what I mean?
I love working and staying on sets is fun and all that.
And I think we got, the way I say it about this business, you know, I say it like this.
We're in the best, worst, best business ever.
Yeah, that's how I say we're in the best worst, best business ever.
I like it because, you know, we get to always do stuff like this.
You're always in a different spot.
You meet new people.
It's never the same thing.
It's always somewhere different.
You travel everywhere.
There's a lot of pros on that side.
You know what I mean?
And then it's the worst because, you know, but this is anywhere,
but I'm just saying our business the most because I've never seen it as much as in our business.
It's the most cutthroat, two-faced backstabbing, piece of crap, fake piece of crap business ever.
And that part just makes me so sick, dog, you know what I'm saying?
And so that's why I say it's the best, worst, best business ever.
But as far as, like, working, you know, and I take, I never repeat something that I will not give the person credit who I heard it from.
And my boy Emilio Rivera
I made this comment
And I think it was one of the best comments ever
He said, you can't teach what we live
So for me, my whole point in saying that
I just repeat that
But that's a shout out to my boy
Emilio Rivera because he said that
And I was like, that's good, I'm gonna take that
But I'm always gonna give him his credit
When I take it
Let him know it didn't come from me
But anyways, he said
Once again, you can't teach what you live
And so my point is
When I'm doing a role, I really don't prepare
I'm one of the sloppiest actors out there
Straight up, Todd
Like I said, I don't read the script
I just read my part
I go in there
I do what I do
It is what it is
And later when I watch the movie
I'm like
Oh that's why my character
Did that and did that
And I'm like okay
Now I get the story
Like even when I go watch
The damn movie
It's fresh
Because I ain't read the screen
I don't the hell it's about
I just know as long as what I'm doing
It's legit I'm in
And so yeah
That's how that go
You know what I mean
So there's not
I've never really had to prepare
that deep down now
And respect to that though
If I'm playing a doctor
Right
Or you know
I'm a lawyer
Whatever, I'm gonna, I'm, for something like that,
Cali, whatever, I'm gonna go in more prepared.
Out of character character.
Yeah, I'm going more ready and like that.
But for most of my stuff, like, nah, I just do what I do and it is what it is.
You're like, Hector's here.
Yeah, like, exactly.
You're like, all right, next.
So, yeah, that's how that go.
Did you go for Canelo in this fight?
Ah, man, so I'm just going to give you my opinion on boxing, bro, since we go on there.
I'm not even a boxing fan no more, dog.
We need Mike Tyson back.
Yeah, he's coming back.
I think all the fights are fake.
I think they're fixed.
I think you're watching Dancing with the Stars in a Ring.
Damn.
And my whole thing now, you know, to be straight up,
if you want to watch a real fight,
watch a nobody trying to become a somebody.
That's when you get the real fights.
But once they're rich and they millionaires,
excuse my language, we get bitch-ass fights.
And I'm sick of it, bro,
so I don't support really the boxing no more to keep it 100.
I support the people who are, you know,
trying to become somebody because that's when they're really fighting.
Right.
But once they become millionaires, I get these watered down fights.
And I'm like, I want a Mike Tyson back.
That's my dude.
So I put it out there.
I care less, man.
Like I said, I just say what I think.
And it is what it is.
People can agree or not agree.
You know, we got different people in this world.
Some will agree with this.
But I think all the fights we watch it now are watching Dancing with the Stars.
So I'm not a fan of boxing no more, dog, because to me it just got watered down.
How about Tank and Jake Paul?
Who are you going for?
Oh, come on, dog.
Like, dude, Jake Paul is nothing but a check, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
Straight up.
And they're getting paid and cool, but you ain't watching the real fight.
You're watching the show.
Yeah, I like the show, though.
Okay, well, then watch the show if you like it cool, but I ain't watching the show.
I like the circus.
I get it, I get it, but I'm cool.
I want to, I'd rather watch a Mike Tyson fight when it was real fighting back in the days.
All right.
That's just me.
There's a couple of, Cuff is a dog, though.
I mean, again, man.
He did make millions of dollars, though.
I mean, I'm just saying, man, I just haven't seen a real fight with you.
championship fighters in a long time, in my opinion.
Yeah, you should have watched the fight.
I feel like M.
A lot of people are critiquing it.
I didn't give it a chance because some of the other Canelo fights, to me, were not real
fights.
It was kind of like, come on, dog.
I mean, I don't think they were punching enough, swinging enough.
So I do know a lot of people that are in the boxing world, and, you know, of course
you're going to defend it if you're in the boxing world.
So I'm talking from an outsider looking.
in. But I believe
when we got our best fights once again with the Mike Tyson
days, but this is what Homeboy
said, and I'm not going to name his name, but he said this.
He said, man, you got to understand, man.
Like, when we boxing, that hurts.
When you get punched a lot,
you get hit a lot, and
we're in a ring, and we're fighting.
It's like an NFL football
player. The reason why they run to the side
is because when you get tackled so much,
there's a point where if you can
avoid a tackle, you avoid a tackle.
You feel what I'm saying? So the boxer,
that's how he kind of explained it.
So a boxer does the same thing.
Oh, yeah.
But I think sometimes because it's like when homie's going to the ring, man,
I like when they go for them quick knockouts and they're swinging.
You know what I mean?
And even on some of the last, like the 10th, 11, and 12th ring,
even then you don't see all the swinging and punching.
I'm like, at some point, go at it.
This fight was it.
This fight was it?
The reason why I didn't give it a chance is because I got tired of the fights before.
So maybe now
Well maybe I'd go back and watch it
You know
All the fights before that you were on Netflix
That
No no I'm talking about
I'm talking about
The fights before
I believe it was watered down
You know what I mean
In my opinion
Now you're the first person
Can I ever heard say that
Everybody
Because most people will say
What they need to say
To be liked and loved
And a lot of people
Don't speak their real mind
Because they're afraid
Of being hated on
Or an out-care
I say it like it is
I tell people like this man
you're going to like me for,
you're going to hate me for two reasons.
One, I tell you the truth and you can't handle it
or two, you just came up with your own story
on why you hate me.
But I'm not going to lie or flavor stuff up
to accommodate the world of how I think.
No, because Conno fans is like Trump fans
that you can't convince them.
Like they still think that he won.
Like I said earlier, the voting, I believe, is rigged.
You know what I'm saying?
I believe they already know who's going to,
and there's a, there's a, there's a,
There's a documentary, if you want to get deep on it, there's a documentary that exposes the voting.
And it's called Facism to Freedom.
No, I've never heard of this.
If you ever, I'm going to text it to you.
It's texted to the whole camp.
Yes, yes.
It's called Facism to Freedom.
And basically what it says, like, if the vote is not paper counted on a computer, it could be flipped 5149.
It's very easy to flip it on a computer.
So it goes down the rabbit hole of how and, you know, what, or, but.
But then even if it's paper counted, who do you trust to do that?
And even if it's legit, the electoral system is all fucked.
And that's why, once again, I say, if you're not personally involved, yourself,
what do you honestly really know other than what was told and presented to you?
You don't know Jack Dilley's Squat.
Right.
You guys know the end of drink champs because you win it.
So you know the real of the real here.
And when someone else talks on drink champs or whatever, they don't know what the hell they're talking about.
And you're like, oh, come on.
They don't know what they're saying because they ain't.
in it. You feel what I'm saying? So it just is what it is. So I'm not going to say something
to be liked. I'm going to say what I say, and I'm going to be either liked or not liked
for how I think or what I said. And it'll be what it is. What's your favorite sport?
I like basketball, you know, football. Baseball's cool to watch live, but not on TV,
you know, in my opinion. And in the game, when you go to the game, it's cool. Oh, yeah,
that's all I'm saying. When, yeah, when it's just some, some, some,
sports are made for live, not on TV, like ice hockey. I was never an ice hockey fan until I watched
a game live. I saw my, like, when they fight. I saw it. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. I saw my first game
live, and I was like, damn, ice hockey is is on, bro, it's on and cracking. And then I became
a fan when I saw it live. I wasn't, I didn't really care about ice hockey until I saw a game
live. Then I was like, then I became an ice hockey fan. You feel me? So someone was to call you
for a sports role. What would you prefer? Soccer. Soccer.
Yeah, just because I'm a good soccer player, so, yeah, I'm Mexican.
I didn't figure that.
I knew that one.
I knew that one, right?
No, I didn't think he was going to say soccer.
I knew it.
Soccer is, yeah, soccer is my game.
Could you actually play soccer?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, so I love playing soccer.
Okay.
Yeah.
And just to make this clear, too, I want to put this on real quick, there's no hate on
Canello or any of this stuff.
There's no hate on anybody.
All I'm saying is, I just believe, excuse my language, that nowadays we get bitch-ass fights.
And I'm just sick of it, so I don't support it.
So until I get some real boxers back in the ring, then I'll jump back on.
Because I'm a boxing fan.
I love boxing, bro.
Straight up, man.
Like, ask me anything about the Tyson's fight, Holyfield, you know, all the old Pete, George Foreman, whoever you want to bring up, Ali, like, all day long.
I'm a legit boxing fan.
But some of the boxing matches we have nowadays are just bitch-ass fights, and I'm like, nah.
Yo, let's get rid of these bitch-ass fights.
Like, I'm just like, no, let's put some real boxing back on the...
But, you know.
Well, Dan and White look like he's doing good to me.
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying what I'm saying.
It is what it is.
Hate me or love me for what I said, but it's all good.
We got a quick time?
Let's do some.
So get some, get some, some drinkers in here for them.
Yeah, you want to pick a drinker?
Well, what's a quick time?
What's that?
It's a drinking game.
Okay, okay.
But, I mean, we just ask you questions.
It helps with bringing up stuff.
Oh, got you, got you, got you.
So you's drinking, you sure?
Come on.
Who's the phone?
Charlie left already?
I'm from L.A. Let's get the Los Angeles guy now.
He's representing.
He's right. He's representing Los Angeles, right?
I'm gonna go to basketball.
Come on, play.
You figure it out.
I'm like, yeah, he representing.
Let's go.
I guess you're drinking for both of them.
Huh?
Yeah, I'm just gonna drink from the cup, but none, not shot.
All right.
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the On Purpose podcast.
Recently, I had a conversation with the one and only, Madonna.
When I was broke and I had no friends, nowhere to live, I was held up at gunpoint, I was robbed.
All these horrendous things happened to me.
I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me in New York is better than what my life was, so I'm not going back.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get
your podcast. I started trying to get pregnant about four years ago now. We're getting a little bit
older and it just kind of felt like the window could be closing. Bloomberg and IHeart podcast

fertility care. Introducing Kind Body, a new generation of women's health and fertility care.
Backed by millions in venture capital and private equity, it grew like a tech startup.
While Kind Body did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patients.
You think you're finally like with the right people in the right hands, and then to find out again that you're just not.
Don't be fooled.
By what?
All the bright and shiny.

Kicking up this month, I'll be bringing you all my greatest fear-inducing horror games from
Resident Evil to Silent Hill, me and Tony bringing back fire team on the Fad Dead 2, and we're just
going to be going over some of the greats. Also in October, we'll be talking about our favorite
horror and Halloween movie, and figure out why black people always got to die first.
The umbral reliquary invites any and all fooling, brave enough, to peruse its many curiosities.
But take heed, all sales are final.
Weekly horror side quests written and narrated by yours truly.
With a full episode read and a commentary special.
And we will cap it off with horror movie battle royale.
Jason versus Freddie.
Michael Myers versus the 80 thing with the little tongue muster.
October, we're doing it Halloween style.

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two
with brand new stories.
The detective comes driving up fast
and just like screeches right in the parking lot.
I swear I'm not crazy,
but I think he poisoned me.
I feel trapped.
My breathing changes.
More money, more money, more money, more money.
And I went white.
I realize, wow, like, he is not a mentor.
He's pretty much a monster.
New stories, new voices, and shocking manipulations.
This didn't just happen to me.
It happened to hundreds of other people.
But these aren't just stories of destruction.
They're stories of survival, of people picking up the pieces, and daring to tell the truth.
I'm going to tell my story, and I'm going to hold my head up.
Listen to Betrayal Weekly on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, let me explain the rules.
Okay, yeah.
It's basically like, we're going to give you two choices.
Okay.
You pick one, and we're not drinking out of the two choices.
But if you say both or neither, like, you try to be politically correct, then that's when we all drink.
And really, this is just about, it's not about it.
It's just bringing up names, any stories, you got anything, anything.
thoughts, places, people.
It's just about bringing stories up, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tupac or EZE?
Oh, Tupac.
Any reasons?
Tupac's my G, man.
I love them both, just so we're clear.
But because I'm forced to pick one or the other, I'm going to say Tupac.
But again, I love EZE just as much, man.
I'm actually good with his son, little easy, man.
We chop it up, so we're good.
But, yeah, I just got to go with Tupac because that's just my dude right there.
No, man.
And that's one.
I can beat them nowadays.
They can bring them back.
With what they're doing now, you know what I'm saying?
But, no, I just got to go with,
actually, I got to show you something just for two seconds.
Okay.
It's going to take two seconds, but I got to pull this up.

what role you played in old school yeah i was like i had a i had a bigger part see that's why
i don't celebrate till it's over you know i'm
saying because in that movie I had a bigger part
but then they trimmed it down and I was
like come on man but it was
a real small part but again
I had a bigger part they just cut a lot of it
out but anyways it was
a part where he was on the roof
and he was setting up something or whatever and I was
across the street and I was like hey you're
the godfather man that's what stuff get down
it was a quick little joint man
if you blinked your eyes you messed it
but yeah yeah so I had a little
part of that but so yeah so old

Because there was a lot of love on the Mayans, man.
I grew up with a lot of those cats that I was in the show with in real life.
Yeah, like just not like grew up with them like that,
but just knowing from the business, have relationships with them, got to know each other.
The actors.
I thought you made the actual, like the motorcycle.
No, no, no, the actors.
I'm saying I'd known them for a long time.
So that was a real heartfelt project because it was a bunch of people that knew each other
that were hooking each other up, helping each other out,
making it like a community thing
It's just so many Latinos on
That's what I'm saying
And that's what I'm saying
And that's why there was a lot of love on that set
Graham Greene passed away too
Oh yeah
Okay okay
Yeah
I don't know my name but
If I see his face
Cliff Curtis or Raymond

What part were they in?
where they robbed a bank and um all right so let me let me give you something let me give you something about fast and furious and i say this publicly right i'm not even a fast and furious fan because for me it got too much it got too lame it got too retarded it turned into a superhero movie right and i'm like how do you go from street racing to saving the world right so for me and then they went to space and part night oh come on god i'm like i think i think part 11 is cars underwater part 12 is cars

And I love Vin, man, Vin, you my boy, but you're jacking up a classic.
Like Chris Tucker said, you know what I'm saying?
You're messing up a classic.
So I don't know, bro.
So I don't know who they are.
I'm sorry, man.
Like, yeah.
So Terry Cruz or Paul Walker?
Oh, man, that's a tough one, dog.
I'm going to have to jack up the game here because there's no way I could pick in between them two.
Yeah, and I'm going to say both on that one, man.
I can't.
Yeah, I can't go either way on that.

nicest cat in the world man humble dude and yeah that one you got me stuck homie you put me on pause

funnier than the animal.
Then you have a shootout?
We had a shootout scene in that joint.
Yeah, we came back and got our revenge.
We got to get our leg.
Because you took homey girls, home, home under the club.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that movie's comedy, bro.
Like I said, I hope part two flies, you know what I'm saying?
Right.
I want to be in part two.
I'll make a call, bro.
Drink champs, he'll be a part of it.
I'm talking to Jamie Kenny.
Tell him we'll interview.
He's a good word for you, down.
He's a gangster rapper, right?
So he got to come on drink champ.
Yeah, yeah.
That's hard.
That's hard.
That's hard.
No worry. Let's make our own movie, Don. Come on, Blair. Come on, Gene.
The Rock or John Cena?
I'm going to go with the Rock.
Because I don't know him personally. I met him before a couple times.
And every time I met him, he was a very nice humble cat. He's a gentleman, man.
So I got to give Rock his props, you know what I'm saying? All day long.
Dr. Dre or Snoop Dog?
And I say The Rock because I met him. I never met John Cena, so I don't know.
but yeah the rock all day man and I took a couple pictures with the rock and got love for you
rock um what's up dr dr dr dr drae or snoop dog oh man that's another tough one boy you're gonna
have to drink on that one bro yeah dr drake you know you know dr dr dr dr ray man we go way back
i don't know if you guys know this i'm gonna drop one on you right here uh he put me in his
guilty conscience video with him and m and m yeah so i was i was eddie in the video when
it says meet eddie about to rob a liquor store and on his way
So I was Eddie in that joint, bro.
Why, he was keeping that so much.
I'm grateful to be proud of.
So, yeah, yeah, Dr. Dre.
Eddie, too.
Dr. Dre slapped me.
See, you ain't just hector.
That was at the birth of the career, you know what I'm saying.
So that one, I got to go with what they're saying.
But, yeah, man, I was Eddie in that joint.
And Dr. Dre flew me out to New York.
Wow.
I came out there for the awards.
I believe it was 1999 or
2000, the Billboard Music Awards
and I was the one standing on stage
and they were dancing around me doing the rap
bro. He flew me all the way out there just to stand.
Wow.
Yeah, bro.
Just to stand.
I was like, whatever.
He paid my rent that month, so it was cool.
But yeah, man, so I got to give props to Dre, man.
You know, props for props are due.
I got a side one from this.
Blood in, blood out?
Or American Me?
Oh, Blood and Blood Out all day long, man.
American Me was one of the ones.
that violated a lot of...
They said blood and blood out kept it.
Yeah, yeah.
And Blood and Blood and Blood Out all day long, yeah.
I wish Blood and Blood Out would have stayed more in the...
It's still a fantastic movie.
I've seen the movie a thousand times.
I can recite it.
I know every line from that movie.
I love that movie.
But I wish they would have just stuck more to the streets like Menace to Society.
Right.
That's all I'm saying.
But Blood and Blood Out, one thing that everybody was always curious of is, can a white guy be a...
That's what I'm saying.
If there's special, you know, if there's special circumstances, then it's allowed.
That can actually have?
Well, he's the real guy.
Yeah, it's allowed in whatever gang allows it because of a special circumstance that an outside gang wouldn't know.
But the outside gang that doesn't know is still going to, you know, will be like,
hey, man, you got a black guy in their Mexican gang, F that.
Or you got a white boy in your gang, F that.
because a real Mexican gang would, you know, really wanted to stay all Mexicans.
Okay.
But you got different people, different individuals.
You got different gangs who will do it their way and this gang will do it that way.
And you know what I'm saying?
So you can't really call that.
The safe way to say it is in the streets, it really should have been that way,
but it was allowed that way because that one gang allowed it and it is what it is.
But it's based on a real character.
No, yeah.
I'm just saying because of a special circumstance, you know what I mean?
It's like, if I, it's like, let's say I'm a Mexican gangster, you know, and my mom and dad adopted a black son because they were just people like that who did that.
I ain't going to deny you now when we're a teenager.
Especially if y'all grew up together and that's what I'm saying.
And you part of the neighbor, you part.
To him, he's not even black.
To him, he's Mexican.
That's what I'm saying.
And there it's kind of like, you know what, black or not, you win this Mexican gang because you grew up with us.
So we just going to, you know, let you in.
It's like a dog who's raised by a lion.
If a dog is raised by a lion, that dog actually thinks it's a lion.
And look at another dog and be like, who the fuck are you?
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, exactly.
There you go.
And remember, every story's different.
That could just be one example of many.
There might be other ways of how it happened or it does happen, but I'm just given one example.
And the crazy shit is, American Me used to be one of my favorite movies, right?
And then when I've seen how, like, people was frowning upon it because I guess it was almost too real.
I still, if that movie comes on, I'm still scared.
Like, when I watch it, because I feel like, and what's, what's my homeboy name?
That, that, that, Edward James Almost.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This guy's a teacher, but I believed him.
Yeah.
But I mean he's a teacher?
No, you're talking about, uh, stand by me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, stand by me.
Oh, yeah, yeah, stand by me.
I'm sorry, stand in the liver.
I was giving you a multiple choice.
Hold on, I was giving you an A&B, yeah.
Well, another true story.
But so for a person that's an outsider that's looking in,
was that movie really depicting things that shouldn't have been?
Yeah, there was a lot of parts in there that were real.
And you got to remember, after that movie came out,
that's when they overturned.
Didn't they kill the director?
A lot of people died.
A lot of people died in that movie.
You know what I'm saying?
That were behind the scenes.
There's a documentary about it as hell.
Yeah, it was people that were exposing what they shouldn't have exposed.
Sorry if it cut you off
Like for instance
What's this shit
That
That
That
They directed on Fox
About freeway
And he had
Dubcy had
Dubcy was the guy's coach
Oh
Snowfall
Snowfall
So he was the guy's coach
So you're saying like
People who got killed
Was like people like that
Like people who was consultant
I never
Yeah
No no yeah
A lot of consultants
Yeah
Yeah
It was like a gang, this lady that she was like a mediator amongst gang members.
It was the girl that played the mom of the little kid who died.
I think she's the gang mediator lady.
I haven't seen the movie in such a long time.
There's a whole documentary you can watch that it's foul, like mad people died over there.
Yeah. Wow.
Because they were exposing the Mexican mafia, but, you know, I was just going to say this one thing was in the movie,
they exposed how they got drugs in the prison, for example.
You do they ask.
So, no, no, but through the pipes and all that stuff, too, was exposed.
So my point is, when that movie came out, all the prisons in L.A. got overturned in real life because they were like, oh, that's how they get in the stuff in?
And so then they found, and so the Mexican mafia that was locked up in prison got mad and said, how did they know all this?
It's because of this movie.
And so then they put green light on the people that were in the movie who exposed it because now it made it harder for the people in prison to get their drugs and get their stuff.
it ruined the operation
And how they depicted the leader
dude when he was younger
When he got raped
He wouldn't became a mafia leader
It was so
So there were just a lot of things in there
That shouldn't have been said
That shouldn't have happened
Because yeah
Oh damn
I always thought that was a rumor
That's why I'm glad
I didn't even know you were
No but he's right
There's a documentary
You can watch it yourself
And see it with your own eyes
And just yeah
Long story short
That's why I'm saying
there's some movies as
a quote unquote Latino
you just don't want to get involved in
if it's about the street gangs
and something like menace of society
or blood in blood out
whatever if it's something being out
like if it's like monster
against Red Bull
like you'll do that
but if it's Mexican mafia
like nah you don't want to mess with that
it's too close to home right
I'm good on that
like I don't care how much you pay me
I'm straight
all right
I respect
yeah and they know my face
right
they don't know the writer's face
you feel what I'm saying
So, no, I'm good.
I like to say at the safe zone, you know.
Kid Frost or Mellow Manez?
Melo mayonnaise.
That's my boy.
Mello's my peeps, man.
And I'm close to him because of Sendog and they brothers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's right, Melo Man Ace and Sendog as brothers.
I keep a game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they keep me beat.
Yeah.
Okay.
I just did Mello's podcast, too, man.
He cool people.
Yeah, no, he's a legend.
They both legends.
Kid Frost, too.
Yeah.
It's the last one who you get back to the.
You know, loyalty or respect?
I can't go either way on that.
I say both, you know, on that one.
Thank you much, Monty.
I kept it light on you, right?
Come on, play.
So what's next for you?
Like, we all know the actors, you know,
they do that, they venture out either to be a producer,
executive producer, or actually a director.
Is that something that you're looking at right now?
yeah right now we started a company called entangled entertainment and so now we're starting to make our own movies and do our own flicks and right now we're working on one man we're trying to do a Mexican version of Friday oh wow Latino hood authentic comedy which has never been done before and so we're working on some stuff like that and then we got some other things that are in the mix and actually a documentary too that we're doing that's coming out um so and like I said it goes back to
if no one gives you the opportunity,
create the opportunity for yourself.
You know what I'm saying?
And so I always tell people, you know,
there's two ways to make it happen.
Someone could put you in that position
or you put yourself in that position.
You know what I'm saying?
And so long story short,
I love acting,
but I'm actually having fun now too
doing the producing side of it
and the directing side of it,
creating the content.
So you have to be producing and direct.
Instead of being part of someone else's content,
you know, it's always fun to do your own,
you know what I'm saying?
And so, yeah, I got my hands in a couple things right now.
Will you direct a film that you're not in?
Yeah, I would.
100%.
Yeah, I would.
I don't care about, I got into this business on accident.
I was right place, right time, and here I am today.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't care about the fame side of it, this, that, or whatever.
As you see, a lot of my films, some films I do cameo, some films I do supporting
roles, some films I'm the star of.
I care less, man.
You know what I mean?
Just to be in it, period, to me, is a blessing.
You know, my manager made a joke one time, which is a joke, but not a joke.
He said it's when they stop calling you.
That's when you got to worry.
So, thank God, my phone's still ringing.
Goddain.
Who's your favorite actor?
Man, I've been blessed, man.
Like I said, I've worked with a lot of grades.
I've got to work with Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson.
All right, so I'm just going to say.
I don't know what you're about to say, but it looks very interesting.
No, I'm going to say.
Your face is rushing.
I'm going to put it out there, guys.
So here's what I hate about a lot of Latinos in the business.
Now because of social media, a lot of Latinos want to come out and say,
I was always about the Latino people.
I was always in for them.
I always wanted the Latino people to rise.
And you know where my proof is at?
No, you didn't.
Because if you were always in it for the Latinos,
where are our movies from 20 years ago when you had the power?
to change the game.
See, back in the early days,
you can name off 50 black movie stars
and 50 white movie stars,
but when it came to Latinos,
you can only name off 10 or less.
But now, because of social media,
and we cannot be ignored,
now they all want to come out and act,
like, oh, I was always about my Latino people.
No, you weren't.
Because if you were,
why did you put us on the map a lot earlier?
You feel what I'm saying?
Now, I know in any race,
black, white, Mexican, Asian,
UFO, peak, red, purple, blue,
because I want to put it all out there
in case I mess someone.
There's two-faced backstabbing
in any race, period.
Yes.
But the blacks support each other
and you guys rise, man.
You know what I mean?
When there's a black movie premiere,
sports players go to the movie premiere.
The people that are singers go to the movie premiere.
Rappers go to the movie premiere.
The people that were in the movie go to the movie premiere.
But when there's a Latino movie premiere,
the only people who are a part of that,
film, go to the movie premiere.
You don't get the outside going, you feel me?
So now, because...
Awella don't go?
I'm saying, he'd be funny.
I think he's trying to say,
you're more than Auela to show up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just making a point, though, that, like,
now because of social media,
there's a lot of Latinos in the business
now that are doing that
with other Latinos to make it look
like, no, I was always about you guys.
Right. No, you weren't.
Because if you were about us, we're our art
projects from you.
years ago when you had the power to do something and change a game.
Right.
You get what I'm saying?
So to me, it just disgusts me nowadays how fake people are.
And it just makes me sick, bro.
And that's why I sit there and I look at some of these people and I laugh because I'm like,
nah, man, what you're forgetting is the world don't know you personally, but I know
you personally and you a liar, you a piece of crap.
God damn.
You know what I'm saying?
And so that's why I just laugh at the game, bro, and how fake it is.
And it's just so sad and pathetic to me how.
how people will accommodate
or do whatever they do
just to get a check, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's just my little two cents right there.
You know who's a Latino that I see really
contributing?
I went to Bad Bunny concert recently,
and the fact is, like, he has his last concert right now,
and in order to be a part of that concert,
you have to have a 7-8-7 number,
or you have to have a Puerto Rico ID.
Like, he's doing it just for the community.
Have you ever seen something like that?
Like, I mean, that's what I'm saying.
Like, you know, that's awesome.
And I'm glad that that's happening because that's what I love.
He raised $400 million for the, for the out and the portals.
That's sick, bro.
That's sick.
That's crazy, man.
You got to talk about that he didn't come to the U.S.
because he didn't want to make sure ice rated his fans showing up.
So that's why he's not coming to the U.S.
That's cool.
That's kind of dope that he's considering that, you know?
That's love, man.
That's cool.
Let me ask because I've been seeing places like, I've seen them go to the Haitian.
Day parade and I see them actually
move ICE the fuck out of there.
Is ICE real police or what's like?
Yeah, yeah, they're real.
And they're deputizing police to be ICE agents.
They're deputizing the police force.
That's a big word.
What the fuck is debatizing?
They're saying Miami-Dade County Police,
you are ICE too.
Like, you can be like ice.
They're recruiting.
On your day off?
Well, no, no, no.
Like if they pull you over,
then they can also grab you for immigration and take you like if they ice.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that's their.
They're deputizing them.
That's crazy, bro.
That's something that we've been going crazy to Los Angeles.
Oh, yeah, all day, man.
In L.A., they're rioting.
It's stupid out there, man, straight up.
I'll tell you, I have a car wash that I always go to,
go get the car shined up, and it was shut down for two weeks because of ice.
They took like 30 other workers out of there.
So, yeah, ice a real thing, man, straight up.
They're coming in hard.
And that's why people are rioting and rioting and wild and out.
What you've seen, you know, on the Instagram,
That's what it is.
It's crazy.
And what's that happened in mostly downtown?
Everywhere.
Oh, everywhere.
Yeah.
No, that's going on everywhere.
Are they doing it?
They're doing it.
Yeah, they're doing a sweep.
No, they're doing a straight up sweep, straight up.
Yeah, they're doing this.
And the cops can't stop them because they are, you know, they are legitimate cops.
Wait, the cops can't stop ICE you're saying.
Yeah, the cops can't stop ICE.
They can't get involved, yeah.
So what do you mean?
So if ICE just comes up to somebody and beat somebody in it, the cops can't, like,
I mean.
I'm asking, I don't mean, they shouldn't be being, I mean, they shouldn't be.
I always tell people this, you know, never think you don't have a choice.
You always got a choice, but whatever choice you make, you're going to get the consequences of either choice you made.
So my point is, the cops can't stop them, but what's the consequence to that for them?
You know what I'm saying?
So I don't know, but I'm just saying, like, yeah, technically they wouldn't get involved because they're cops too and they're allowed to do what they're doing.
It's legal.
All right.
I ain't going to lie
that the Haitian Day parade
they backed ice down
they came and tried to get
somebody on all the Haitians
In my
Where was that?
In Bradbush, New York
Oh really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Eastern Parkway before
Oh, I did see that
Yeah, they backed them down
And they made them leave, bro
And they did not come back
With reinforcements
They're just waiting until a later
I mean, that's how it's
In some places
Even in the LAS
You know, so in some areas
You get the glory stories
But in others you don't
You know
And what cops are going to do it
And what cops aren't
Everyone's an individual case
Who's going to step in
going to step out.
It depends upon the individual who makes the choice to either do or not do.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Would you ever make a movie about Orange County, the dark side?
Because Jack Black showed the night side.
Yeah, I wouldn't do that.
If I make a movie, you know, I just want to stick to like, it could be anywhere.
Okay.
You know what I'm saying?
But how about your life story?
I mean, I thought about that, you know, but I'm not there yet.
I'm making some other flicks right now that we're kind of working on, like the Mexico.
I want to make, you know, a Mexican version of Menace of Society.
You know, I want to make a movie like that that I haven't really seen out there.
That's been, that's why I said blood in, blood out.
I love that movie.
I love that.
I've seen it a thousand times, and I'll watch it another thousand times.
I can recite the lines, everything.
All I'm saying is I want one that's like Menace's Society where it sticks to the streets and only the streets.
Right.
You know, I'm saying.
No one gets in trouble behind the scene.
Or whatever.
Just, you know, just shows the whole street life.
Because then when that movie got into the prison,
then it got real politic with the blacks, the whites, the Mexicans,
and then it got, you know what I'm saying?
Then it turned into that.
So I was kind of like watching two movies in one.
You know what I'm saying?
But the streetlight part, it was displayed correctly.
Right.
And they did it.
And they did it.
No, no, blood and blood out.
And they, the men of the society, spot on.
Okay.
But blood and blood out as well with the starting.
That's the one that the streets co-signed.
The whole movie was on point.
But I'm just saying.
the street side I loved.
And I just wish there was a movie
that was all of that.
That's all I'm saying.
When the last time you've been in Mexico?
Oh, I go to TJ all the time, bro.
Go to Tijuana?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I go to Tijuana all the time.
You said that kind of...
Yeah, no, Tijuana's cool, boy, yeah.
I laugh, John, because...
No, I've been all over Mexico.
I go out there for car shows and things like that,
but I'm saying I laugh because...
Mexico, I believe if the whole world was ran like Mexico,
there would be no fighting.
There would be no nothing in this world,
because Mexico, the way I say it,
it's like an organized, disorganized, organized state.
I kid you not, bro.
In Mexico, if you whiling out doing your own thing,
but you ain't bothering nobody, nobody bothers you.
They just let you do what you do.
And if you act stupid, the cops are going to just beat you up.
And when I talk about beat you up,
like they straight up beat you up, dog.
Like bloody on the floor leave you to die type beat up.
And that keeps the control.
out there. That's going to float around
quick and nobody's going to really, you know, do bad
stuff or act stupid.
So I just believe if the whole world
was ran like Mexico, because it's
straight up like a don't care.
You know, everyone's like cool and respectful and
calm and peaceful. And if you're doing your
thing, but you minding your business doing your thing, you ain't
bothering nobody else, you cool, you're straight.
Ain't nobody going to mess with you.
So I just believe if the whole world was ran like that,
there'd be no rioting.
There'd be no politics.
There'd be no fight. It'd be none of that.
We'd be in a peaceful world
Okay
Trust when I tell you
Go to Mexico and find out
If you think I'm lying
What's the past part of Mexico
He just gave him to leave my Mexico
That's what I'm saying
What's your favorite part of Mexico
As Christina
Sarah Julie Veronica
No I'm playing dog
I'm like I've never heard
I'm playing now
I'm playing now
I'm playing dog
I'm dead serious like this
I'm like
Are those politicians
No no
I'm messing I'm messing I'm messing
No no
It's just that you know
Mexico's a chalack spot
You know what I mean
Oh, yeah, it's a good spot to eat.
It's a good spot to go chill, get away, mind your business, be in peace.
Like, I can say 1,000 million things positive about Mexico, man.
It's just a spot where if you want to go and not be bothered and just do your own thing, that's a spot to go.
Okay.
Yes, straight up, all that, all that.
Cancun.
Everywhere.
Mexico City is dark, man.
Yo, I knew a dude he used to sneak in to Mexico.
Yeah, that's a little harder now.
From San Diego.
That's a little harder now.
He said hop over, like, it's like, hey, man, I'm going to go to Mexico.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He literally hopped over again.
He's in Mexico now.
And that's no lie.
He's going to get steroids.
That's no lie.
Oh, that's the thing in Mexico, too.
So, like, the pharmacies out there, you don't need no prescription.
You don't need no prescription.
You talk what your ailment is.
And you walk up and you get whatever you want and as much of it as you want.
They care less.
He used to go get steroids.
Yeah.
So I used to go.
No, legit.
They don't care.
Like I said.
As long as you mind in your business,
they ain't going to stop you from doing whatever the hell it is you want to do.
All right.
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the on-purpose podcast.
Recently, I had a conversation with the one and only Madonna.
When I was broke and I had no friends, nowhere to live,
I was held up at gunpoint.
I was robbed.
All these horrendous things happened to me.
I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me in New York
is better than what my life was, so I'm not going back.

You bet Danny McBride?
You know, you know, Mexico, Doc.
He looked like he knows Mexico, right?
Now, we did a show with Pit Boy in Mexico,
that she was dope.
It was off there, yeah, yeah.
I need to see a picture of Danny McBride.
I don't even know who that is.
You don't know who Danny McBride is?
I told you, I'm not, I'm not in there like that.
Like, I don't, shit, show him a picture.
Let me see Danny McBride right quick.
If I see a picture, I probably, what movies are, who is he or what?
Mad shit.
Yeah, Vice President will hit.
Just show him a picture.
Nah, you definitely know who this is.
Oh, okay.
Right now, it's not hitting.
Right now it's not hitting.
Kanye West said he wants him to play him in the movie.
Oh, is that right?
Oh, okay.
You know what that's serious.
Are you the one making that movie?
No.
That's awesome, though.
I think that's awesome.
I actually think it's awesome.
I think that.
Have you ever that Conley West on this show?
Yeah.
Twice.
Yeah.
I want to meet him, low-key.
Now, he's a good,
a good person.
Oh, let me see the pit.
Oh, you guys do it like that.
Nah,
I don't know who that is.
I'm straight up.
Holy shit.
Nah, nah.
Yo, I don't.
You really is Holly Hood.
You got to show him another picture.
No, that's the wrong picture.
This is the same guy.
Yeah, but.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah, straight up.
What's funny, man, is like, I'm in the game like that,
but I don't care about.
Like, you know, you, I know, because we had that personal connect.
You know, we, I don't know if you remember, too.
I'm going to throw one at you if you remember this.
Do you remember the photo shoot we did for the clothing light?
Oh, what, what color was that?
But you remember that, though?
Blanco.
What was that?
Echo.
Was it Blanco?
I think it was Echo.
It might have been Echo.
No, was it, um.
It was, uh, it was, uh, I got it.
You got it, no, I got it here on the phone, the name of the clothing line.
Okay, okay.
I got it on the phone.
Escobar?
No, I mean.
Esco?
Esco?
Esco.
I don't remember.
It was Blanco.
Blanco, yeah, yeah.
Isn't that under Esco?
We did a, we did a photo shoot.
Yeah, we did a photo shoot for Blanco.
In New York.
In New York.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, and then I know we stayed connected here and there on the phone movement and, you know.
But you really go home and you don't look at the movies.
I'm telling you straight up, I don't care to watch TV.
I can't even go to sleep without watching TV.
I respect, you know, whatever, but I just don't care who's who and what's what.
Like I'm, like I'm, like I said.
I'm still watching the movies I grew up on, man.
I'm still watching Indiana Jones and, you know, the good movies from back in the days.
Tell me, in all honesty, when is the last time you went to a movie theater,
honest and God, and caught a good flick?
And anyone can answer this, like straight up.
Lego, Lego, Lego.
The new Superman was all right?
Yeah, all right.
Well, we got one there, you know, but one out of ten.
I'm just going to deal with my kids.
I'm just watching kid movies.
I went to see Lego, the Lego movie that I'm in.
I'm just saying, I don't watch TVR like that.
Are you on the Lego flip?
Yeah, but the Lego flip.
You're one of the voices out there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, the characters.
I'm going to watch it just because of that.
No, it's really good.
It's really good.
It's Farrell's documentary, but in Lego.
God, okay, all right.
I'm just saying, a lot of the new stuff is whack, man.
New generation stuff ain't catching me.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm still an old school cat.
I like, I like my old flicks, you know what I mean?
So you talked about doing a comedy.
which was about doing a street movie
Would you ever do
You direct your own horror movie
And if so, what would it be about?
Yeah, I would do a horror movie
I got a couple running in my head
But I don't want to say that public
To keep it real with you
But I would direct a horror movie
You know, I would direct anything
That makes sense at the time
And that I think would be a good flick
You know, I want quality over quantity
That's why I like you know
Quentin Tarantino, for example, he's only did
like 10 or less movies in his life
because he believes in quality over quantity, and
85% of the time, you go
watch a Quentin Tarantino film, you know
that you're going to get a good product.
You also know that you can. I know sometimes
there's some of his, I'm not saying all his films are
winners, but most of them are.
Right. And I'm just saying, like... A little crazy.
Oh, yeah, they're always a little crazy. He's very creative with this shit.
But that's my point. Like, you know,
I just believe quality over
quantity. So for me, straight up, if I'm reading a script or there's a movie that I don't believe
is either going to take off or do good, I'd rather not mess with it. Right. I'm good on that,
you know what I'm saying? I'll be an actor in a movie like that. Now I'm getting to a position
where I'm picking quality over quantity, even with some of the acting roles I take on. Because
you want to be about the material, not just the part and getting a part in a flick. You know what I'm
saying? So now I'm starting to be a little more picky if we're being honest. You know, I've been
the third quarter of my life dog you know i'm 50 years old man i'm up there so i want to you know
i just rather do stuff that's i always say it like this too good is the enemy of great
there's a lot of good stuff out there cool but i'd rather do great stuff right so good is the enemy
of great that's cool you did a good project and a good song but you just another good song in the mix
Do a great song
That puts you out there
You know what I'm saying
So that's where I'm out
Was that
Was that your first time
Me and Danny Trails?
No, me and Danny got the same manager
So we do a lot together
So I did like 25 movies with Danny
But I only recommend three
Yeah
Because sometimes I say
Some of the movies with Danny
The movie suck
But the check didn't suck
That's how I say
Yeah
So there's some movies where like
I'm like nah
Don't watch that one
I'm good on that one
I tell people straight.
Hey, look, I don't front, man.
I tell people my own movies.
I'll tell you straight on.
That movie sucked.
Don't waste your time.
So I save an hour and a half of your life, bro, don't watch it.
But if I'm in a movie that's legit good, then I'll tell you straight up.
Not just because I'm in it, because I legitimately back that film up.
But there's some movies I did where I'm like, yeah, like I said, the check was cool, but the movie was like, no.
So yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what's the three you recommend with Danny?
You know what's funny?
Recoils one of them.
Recoil, okay.
I would watch recoil.
Okay.
And what else would I watch with Danny?
You know what's funny when you said seven mummies earlier,
I was just telling him before you sat down.
We had this conversation before you sat down.
You correct me if I'm wrong, gee.
I said it straight up.
I said seven mummies wasn't the worst movie.
But it wasn't the best movie either.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But for what it was at the time, it wasn't that bad.
Yeah, it was just me.
Like me seeing my head roll down the street.
Yeah, yeah.
He's traumatized.
So you're in a cryptocurrency?
Nah, man.
There's a whole, you know, I get the get rich quick and, you know, you could come up on the, just, you know, I just tell people it's a good thing and a bad thing.
It's a good thing because of the convenience.
It's a good thing because you can make so much money so quick.
But, you know, slowly they've taken us down to fall into the trap.
And the trap is where you don't want to end up.
And that's a part of the trap.
And I get it.
You can still make money.
It's good, but it's a part of what they are planning and gearing up towards and what it is going to be slash become.
Like one world currency?
When it's the one world currency and you get the chip inside of you.
Like Mark of the Beast?
And what's going to happen is when they got, so that's headed towards that.
So the chip, it's the condition your mind.
So it'd be like, oh, we've always been tapping.
We've always been using cryptocurrency.
We've always been, you know, doing it.
So when you get the chip, you ain't going to think nothing of it
because you won't be like, nah, they've always been doing it similar to this, right?
So the chip, when they put it inside of you, is going to be activated as your credit card.
So long story short, now you could just, if they put it in your forehead or your wrist,
now you could just slide your arm or slide your head, whatever they decide to put it in.
But, and they're going to say, oh, there's all these good things about it.
And this is where they manipulate slash trick you slash deceive you.
They're going to say, you know why the chip is good?
Because now no one could come up to you and just rob you and take your cash.
You know what the chip is good?
Because if you get kidnapped, I can find you and locate you with the chip.
They're going to tell you all these great things.
But here's the part that they don't tell you.
If you do not comply with the government and you do not do what the government says,
all they got to do is simply turn that chip off.
And now your credit card don't work.
And now you can't even go to Carl's Jr. and get a cheesebread.
now you can't even go get tacos or eat and now in order for that chip to be turned back on
slash activated you got to be under control and the mercy of the government and what they tell you
to do to be able to even shop for food or whatever it else is that you want to get and so all
that is leading towards that man so i tell people you're you're soon enough going to be backed up
into having to make the decision of accept or don't accept but when it comes down to it and
And people always, and that's how they control you.
And people always say, oh, they got you control on your phone.
No, they don't, because I could take this phone, I could throw it in a river.
And you no longer got anything on me physically.
But once they put that in you physically, now you're under control because that's your credit
card, that's your currency, that's your money, that's your whole damn life right there.
And again, a lot of this is exposed.
You guys can watch a documentary with your own eyes.
And to go one step farther, respectfully, it's all in the Bible.
It's all in revelations.
It's right there in black print.
So all I'm saying is, but if you want to see some current, watch America faces them to freedom,
you'll get a wake-up call right there, and it shows you how and why this is happening,
because this is all leading up to the one-world government, the one-world currency.
And if you know the real job of a king, do you know what the real job of a king is?
What do you think the real job of a king is?
Governance, I would imagine.
What do you guys think the job of a king is?
well just give me give me one just your opinion first real quick on what you think just just think it out
real quick to hold down the kingdom that but what's the okay what you have an answer what's the job of
governance but i don't know in what way you mean king so the job of a king is to serve to serve his people
it is not to rule the land control the land but that's a lot of power to give to a huge
human being, one man, one individual. And a man with that much power can abuse that power.
And that's what a lot of kings did. They were, oh, damn, all these people love me. Man, oh, I could
sleep with all these girls and no one's up my butt about it because I'm the king. The king's job
was really meant to serve
the people, not to control
the people. That's really the
government's position. The government
is supposed to serve us, not
rule us, not dictate what we do
and don't do. You don't want to live a life
under control by the government
for them telling you when you can piss,
eat, shit, sleep, whatever it is,
right? So the job of a king
is to serve us. So my whole point
is saying that, is that
when you give that much power
to an individual, they abuse.
use it. When you accept the chip, what you are doing is allowing yourself to be controlled by
the government. Is that how you want to live your life controlled? We want freedom. That's what
everyone's fighting for. That's why everyone's panties are in a bunch right now. Because we want
freedom of speech. We want freedom. But that's slowly being taken away by us, away from us.
A lot of it, yeah. And when this chip comes into play, that's what, and if you accept it,
That's when you were officially under control.
And you think that's what cryptocurrency is leading towards?
100%.
100 because it takes away the cash.
You can operate cashless.
And that's what it's headed towards.
Yeah, because eventually it's just a setup to get into a cashless society.
Right now, cash is just the ghost of money.
Right now you can use it until one day.
And you know where the real money's at?
It's the gold and the silver.
That's the real money.
So I'm just, you know, saying it like it is
You could say whatever and think this or that
But later you'll find out and give me a call
Now, you know they're doing taxes
Sensitives for people that move to Puerto Rico
So like like doing tax cuts and all that
And it's the first time I ever been like to a place
And when they actually came time to pay the bill
It was like cash, credit or crypto
And I was just like, whoa
Like that shit was like
And you got to realize there's
That's in all the rich people to Puerto Rico
so they don't have to pay taxes.
I think they pay like 2% of the tax
or something like that, maybe 4%.
So I'm sitting there saying that if they start in that there,
and this is the rich part of Puerto Rico, right?
But then I start to go around.
And I start to realize it's every place in Puerto Rico.
So they're already like doing that like in the hood.
They're doing that in the rich parts.
They're doing that in the middle part.
So if you're saying that, then they already start.
So when COVID happened, there was a couple states that went completely against it and said,
we ain't wearing the mask, we're not taking the vaccine, but then there were other states
that cooperated.
So the Bible talks about civil war.
What's going to happen is everyone's going to try to run their own program, even states.
And when that starts happening, we're eventually going to go to war.
and the Bible talks about how families will fight with families,
neighbors with neighbors, and friends with friends.
Right.
Because everyone is going to start fighting.
And then eventually we're going to get into World War III.
Right.
And that's when the control is going to happen and the one world government is going to happen.
Right.
And then it don't matter if you live...
The Bible says that when all this happens, people are going to run to the hills,
are going to try to make their own gardens because they won't be able to buy food.
You're going to try to grow your own fruit or whatever it is.
Right.
and everyone's going to try to hide and flee because they're going to try to live their own life outside of life where it's really happening where the control is at.
And you're not going to be able to hide because the government is going to control everything that the only place you're going to be able to run to a swamp land or the mountains where you're not going to be able to grow anything or have really resources out there to live.
And your money won't mean Jack Dittaly's squat.
So what I'm saying is all this is geared up towards the one world government.
So my point is, if Puerto Rico's trying that, and Texas is trying this, and Australia's trying that, and Alaska's trying that, it doesn't matter.
Because at one point, we're all going to go to war eventually, and when the World War III happens, then the false peace is going to come into play, and it's going to become a one-world government.
And it don't care if you go to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Iceland, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, it's all going to be a one-world government, and everything is going to be the same.
in the whole entire world.
Deep, I don't think of any better way
to end that.
Take it the picture.
Wait, hold on, but you got anything else to say to the fans
before we get out here?

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the on-purpose podcast.
Recently, I had a conversation with the one and only Madonna.
When I was broke and I had no friends, nowhere to live, I was held up at gunpoint.
I was robbed.
All these horrendous things happened to me.
I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me in New York is better than what my life was, so I'm not going back.

I feel trapped.
My breathing changes.

He's pretty much a monster.
But these aren't just stories of destruction.
They're stories of survival.
I'm going to tell my story, and I'm going to hold my head up.

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast.
Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you.
When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy,
which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome.
Avoidance is easier.
Ignoring is easier.
Denials easier.
Complex problem solving takes effort.
