Make some noise! And right now, we have one of the best actors on earth. That's right. Definitely the number one Puerto Rican actor in the world. We hear he reigns from LES by way of Puerto Rico. He's done at least 5 million movies. That's it. He's done with, he's worked with the works of Denzel Washington

and a whole bunch of other people on Bone Collector. It was fucking phenomenal. Thank you. And he's here right now. Today we are turning to this day into the Puerto Rican Day Parade because I am half Puerto Rican, but today I am fully Puerto Rican and right now we got Louis Guzman and the Villamayca!

First off, but today I am fully Puerto Rican and right now we got Louis Guzman in the building! Make some noise! First off, first off, you know Carlitos way. We gotta start with Carlitos way. Dalianga. Pachanga. Pachanga. Okay, so now, did you work with Al Pacino before or no? No. So you get this call and what happens? I get this call, I go in Did you work with Al Pacino before or no? No. No. No. So you get this call and what happens?

I get this call, I go in and I audition. My boy found, there it is, okay, it's your time. My boy shows up with his leather jacket, he found a time for the queer park. I put that shit on, I go to this audition, I do my shit, I get a phone call. Yo, you're a pachanga. Okay, cool. Let's go.

Because it was easy for you to play a guy from the neighborhood because it seems like you're a guy. You know what it was, man? It's like, how many pachangas did we grow up with back in the day? How many dudes that were hustling? You know, how many dudes that when shit go wrong, they flip to the other side,

you know? And that loyalty shit, you know, from those guys anyway. Now, is that one of the roles you related to the most out of all the roles you did? Because you really did like three million movies. Yeah. You know, every role is different, to be honest with you. You know, sometimes you do this guy, like I said, like Pachanga, you know you're representing a certain

kind of flaw from the neighborhood. From the body. Right. And then all of a sudden you're playing the dad, you know what I mean? And then it's like, now you got like role model status, you know? And then you're playing the nurse and shit so you're caring about people or you know, you're caring about

who knows, but everything's different. When I did the Bone Collector, I just saw that the other day. I had to learn forensics. I learned real forensics. You walked in there like you was really police. You got something that I would like to say

that Denzel Washington has. Whatever role Denzel plays, I believe them. Whatever role you play, I believe you've studied for it for 50 million years. That's how good you are. That's what I strive for. I strive for the honesty in what I do.

The same thing with your music. You want to convey the honesty of your soul and stuff like that. For me as an actor, I want people to believe me, but I also want them to feel like what's going on, you know, with this character. People relate to that. Now your new movie, you got a new movie.

It's about like singing. Uh-huh. And church, is there church in there? It's a faith-based movie. It's called Hold On. Flavor Flav is in there. Flavor Fl it Church in there? It's a faith-based movie. It's called Hold On. Flavor Flav is in there. Flavor Flav is in there. You know I told Flavor Flav, God damn it.

I was watching the trailer like, who is that ugly motherfucker? I said, okay, okay, Flav is my man. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You get to open that. That's my man. Come on. So, you know, he's in it. But it's a faith-based movie.

We started shooting this movie two days ago last year. And we just screened it here last night in Miami. But it's an incredible movie, man. It's a movie about inspiration. You know, it's about people dealing with family that have evictions. You know, it's about not giving up. It's a really well done movie. And the sister that's in it, it's based on her story.

She's an incredible singer. She wrote the song, Hold On. The one that's singing, that's about her? Yeah. Wow! I thought that was an actor.'s about her? Yeah. Wow. I thought that was an actor. And she wrote that song. Wow.

And let me tell you something. Like, when you see the movie, the end of the movie when she sings the song, we actually filmed the orchestra live singing it. You know, we didn't want her to sing in the studio. Then slip, sink, get out of the film. We did it live. And so, you know, and it was want her to sing in the studio, that's lip syncing on film. We did it live. And so, you know, and it was this little movie, man, that this young man directed. He wrote it. He directed it.

My son helped produce it. I see. You know? Yeah, my son sent me. Wow. He, you know, and it was these young people. They put this movie together. They asked me to do a part.

And I did. You know, you got to support the young people, they put this movie together, they asked me to do a part, and I did. You know, you got to support the young people. All right. Well, all the project is of your son. Do you got a mic? Because I don't think nobody can hear you, bro. Oh, the mic right there. Okay.

Oh, ooh. Ooh. You going to take a shot? You going to take a shot? Let's take a shot, man. By the way, everybody, this is pina colada. Soma colada. Excuseada. Soma colada. Excuse me.

Soma colada. It's the best shit on earth. You've covered it in the news. I'm covering it up. It's the best shit on earth. And listen, we heard you at Tequila Guy, so we got you the Pup Daddy Deleon. He personally sent this for you. Pup Daddy.

I told him we was interviewing you. Don't tell me that, bro. That's the sweet of God. That's the sweet of God. Sweet of God. He personally, I said, he asked for Don Julio. He said, well, you know what? We got to send him this.

So we're going to have this shot that you poured, and then we're going to take a shot of that because Pop Daddy sent it for you. That's right. Salud, God damn it. Salud. Make some noise for Puerto Rico's on his back. Yeah, baby. What? My bad. baby what was your what was your what was a movie role that you wanted and you didn't get because

i'm gonna tell you mine you took it from me okay wait there's a movie called the saint Oh, really? Okay, we'll get to that in a second. Okay, okay. Okay, wait. There was a movie called The Saint of, what was that, Fort Washington or something like that. And it was Danny Glover who was in it, and this brother named Rick Aviles, who was Willie from Ghosts. Okay, okay. Okay, and that was that one part I didn't get. I really dug the part.

You know what, man? I took it with a grain of salt. My philosophy has always been, you know, Papa, you didn't get this. There's something else coming down the pipe. That was always my attitude. You know what I mean? Yeah, man.

I didn't get that, but I got pachanga. So you got that. Let's make some noise for your pachanga. Woo! I'm going to tell you a funny story. Okay. These people from HBO, they call me. They're like, yo, we want to do this thing. So I fly up once.

They're like, yo, I think you got it. Then I fly up again. You're going to hide in there. And then I think I got it. And then I fly it a third time. And they're like, yo, I think you got it. Then I fly up again. And then I think I got it. And then I fly it a third time. And they're like, yo, you almost got it. We just gotta have one more verse and read. So I was like,

alright, cool. I flew back wherever I was at and I caught Violet. I was still on Violet at the time. So I was still living in New York, but I was out of town recording an album. So I was like, I just wanted to know who's the guy that is like Louis Guzman

and that road is made in America. Wow. As soon as I said your name, I said, they don't have to call me back. I already know. I already know. I didn't get it. I turned it down like three, four times. Oh my God, that's why they gave me a job. Oh my God.

That's why. I only had it because you turned it down like three, four times. Oh, my God. That's why they gave me a job. That's why. I only had it because you turned it down that day. Stop me. Stop me. I tried. He tried to give it to me. I tried. You know what I mean?

He tried to give it to me. At the end of the day, I figured you needed to freaking travel a mile, so let him come back and forth. And he loves to travel. Yeah, I do. I do. I do. He loves to travel. I, I do, I do, I do. He loves to travel. I'm the only person that loves to connect on flights.

Okay. Like, you know, people like to fly straight through. Oh, I thought you meant like talking to people. Oh, no, no, no. I like to connect. Like, instead of going straight to L.A., I like to stop in Houston, stop at the bar, you know, speak to a couple of people, tell them. I'd rather connect.

I'd rather connect. I don't know why. So, just so you know, if we ever travel together travel to I just be waiting for you now another thing I just seen to the other day with fat Joe not only you guys had a cook-off but you guys was also in a party correct I hung out with fat Joe for like about a minute and they bailed on me right he should know a minute and then he bailed on me. Right. And he should know that next time he bails on me, we're going to have an issue. Because who can win at handball?

You or Fat Joe? Uh-huh. At handball, who can win? At handball? At handball. At handball? I spot him, bro. I spot him, man.

Because I'm nice at handball. He's man. Because I'm nice to handball. You're really nice. I'm nice to handball. Bro, I grew up at the handball court over there in the park, man. You know what I mean? I say, you know, a real Puerto Rican. A real Puerto Rican takes pride in that handball talk. As soon as you bring up that handball talk, you see his face just now?

He was like, what? He thought that was something else. He was like, what, boy? Better if you have a backhand. Right. You know what I mean? They don't expect that one. He was like, what, boss? Better we have a backhand. Right. You know what I mean? They don't expect that one. Right.

Now, was it harder for you being a Puerto Rican, let alone a Latino, to get into acting? You know, that's a very good question. Because, like, you know, look, man, when I, I don't know if you know my history, but, like, I never intended to be an actor. Right. I was a social worker On the Lower East Side I was working with young people In the neighborhood That's like when the Lower East Side

And the Barrio and the South Park And Williamsburg When it looked like a bomb Hit those neighborhoods Before the whole gentrification Salud Salud everybody Puerto Rican parade Puerto Rican parade and I said, Salud. Salud, everybody. Salud. Salud.

Puerto Rican parade. Puerto Rican parade. By the name of this episode. Puerto Rican. So, mmm. Fucking good shit. What was the question? It was harder

to be on the last team. Right. Okay, so, you know, like I said, my first job was Miami Vice. Miami Vice?

Miami Vice, man. And, I first job was Miami Vice. Miami Vice? Miami Vice, man. And I was a freaking drug dealer. Right. And then my next shift, I was a gypsy cab driver. And then my next shift was like a fucking rapist on a novella. A ledge rapist. Novella? Let's make some noise for novella.

You know? Oh, stop that shit. I hate novella. What the fuck is wrong with know? Oh, stop that shit. I hate Novella. What is wrong with you? Oh, shit. But, you know, so those were the parts that I was getting in the beginning. But one thing I understood, you know,

it's like you gotta, in order to build your foundation for what you do, it's like a block out of time, you know? So, I just stood with it, but I also stood being a social worker for like five, six years after I got in, you know? After you got in acting? Oh, yeah, bro, because my passion was like working for my neighborhood, working with my people and shit, you know? The acting thing for me was a hobby. It was a way for me to subsidize my salary.

Bro, the only reason I did Miami Vice was I could buy a used car so I could drive to Orchard Beach on the weekend and I could take the train and the bus. You remember those days? You remember those days? Everybody from the Bronx is like this right now. Yo, who the hell here has ever been to Orchard Beach and having to take the train and the bus? I ain't going to brag.

I've never called it Orchard Beach. I also call it Cho-Chon Beach, right? Cho-Chon Beach. They call it Cho-Chon Beach. I was a horny front. I've never called it Orchard Beach. I also call it Cha-Cha Beach, right? Cha-Cha Beach. They call it Cha-Cha Beach. I was a horny guy. I'm sorry. I can understand that. I used to hear a different name for it, but that's okay.

I'm good. You know, but anyway, you know, so I used to get all these roles and stuff like that. And basically, I just said, you know, I'm going to keep at this. And one thing will lead to another, will lead to another. You know, I was still, like, doing the gangster role, you know, this and all that. But little by little, things started kind of flipping a little bit. You know, I did a movie called Q&A with Nick Nolte. It was a Sidney Lumet movie.

I got to play this detective. It was the first time I did a movie from beginning to end. You know, and that was like, I don't know, 90, 90 was it? I think it was like 90. I was born in 90. Okay. God bless you. You know?

So, like I say, you know, I did that role. And then soon after that was when I landed Pachanga. And then I kept going and going and stuff. And then I did House of Buggin'. Would you say, because I don't want to get back to the Latino part, but would you say Pachanga was your breakout role? That was the role to break you out? You know, I would have to say it was a very popular role for me.

I don't think necessarily it was my breakout role because it just happened to have been a big piece of my foundation, definitely. Because, you know, it's a funny business. When I first started out, I used to see guys that were really coming out, but it's a whole shit, you know.

And some of those guys died and some of those guys just fizzled out But my whole thing Like I said, for me The importance of what I was always doing Showing up I wanted to always make my contribution

But the biggest Lesson that I learned Was being humble Being humble to everybody Being humble to everybody that I work with Being humble to everybody. Being humble to everybody that I work with. Being humble to you, to you,

to you, to you, because I know that's my true side. That's who I am, you know, and I used to see people and it's like,

are you fucking kidding me? She threw a fucking fit because she didn't have fucking Avion in her fridge. Right, right. And now she can't fucking work and she wants to go home? Right.

Yo, that's not being about the work. You feel blessed to be there? Every day. Every day. I feel blessed that I'm sitting here with you guys right now. Let's make some noise for that. Thank you.

So I want to get back to the Latino actors, right? But for now, so now, you probably like the most historic when I mention this because Carlitos Way, the original one, you was in there. right but for now so now you got you got you probably like the most historic when i mentioned this because carlito's way the original one you was in there but then the twist came you in part two you're not but you're in part two but people don't perceive part two the same way how did you feel like how did you feel about that? You know, um, I found it, like, really, I understood

what they were doing. Because you was the only one from part one in part two, correct? Right. Okay, cool. So you understood. But part two is, like, before, you know? That was before. Like, I questioned that. I said, hold up, man, hold up, hold up. I'm Pachanga, right? And this one.

So who did do is that oh somebody related to Pachanga that almost looks like Pachanga

so we can definitely do it and get over and make it work because I mean come on man who doesn't have somebody in their

family that has the same that might be like even like one or two generations removed from you. But it's like, yo, he got my fucking instincts. He has some of my characteristics.

My brows, yeah. He got some of my like habits and shit. You know, so okay, I can buy that. So what's the difference from working with Al Pacino and then Puff Daddy? Okay, night and Day? Exactly. Describe that Night and Day for us.

We know already. We just came from Puff House. God damn it. Because, I mean, you know, Al Pacino, you know, he's an iconic actor. Is he a method actor? I couldn't even tell you that.

You know? I just know that when he does his thing, he's focused. I mean, I don't really concern myself with whether he's method or not. When I hear action, it's like the ball's in the court. Let's go. Let's make this real and have a conversation.

All right. As far as Puff Daddy goes, you know, it's a hobby for him. All right. You know, for Al, it's a craft. It's a craft. It's a craft. You know, and not to say a hobby can't be an art. All right.

It's like a big difference, you know. All right. Now, you're not a method actor. Huh? You're not a method actor. No, I just show up. You just show up. I just show up. You're just that talented. Well, I'll be not a method actor. No, I just show up. You just show up. I just show up.

You're just that talented. Well, I'll be honest with you. I mean, look, I study. I was about to say, do such roles. I study, I study, I study what it is that's before me. Like, right now, I'm doing a show. It's called Cold Black. And I play a trauma nurse for a trauma center.

And I happen to be the senior nurse on the floor you know so I care about people I train people I run the trauma center when you do like that I mean I get real medical training Wow you know I've gone to actual trauma center I've seen people get their lives saved I've gone to actual trauma center. Wow. I've seen people get their lives saved. I've seen people die. Wow. You know, I've seen people get stabilized to get them up to surgery. Wow. And so I do the show, and so I see all these things, and so I learn a lot.

So in order to be a social worker, I understand you have to have some type of education, correct? Yes, sir. What do you think you learned more in life? You learned more in studying roles and being an actor you think you learned more in life? You learned more in studying roles and being an actor, or you learned more in school, you think? Man, I learned more in life. You know?

Because, you know, not school, not acting in life, man, because I grew up on the north east side of New York City. Let's make some noise for Lord Eastside. True Life, what's up, my brother? Welcome home, True Life, once again. Thank you.

You know, I've seen the good and the bad and the ugly of our neighborhood. You know, when the AIDS epidemic hit, it hit the Lower East Side harder than any other neighborhood in New York City. Are we talking about crack? We're talking about AIDS, HIV. Oh, AIDS.

I thought you said you are. I mean, as far as cocaine and crack and heroin, you know, everybody knew that, you know? Right. But like I say, you know, you grow up and you see all these things, and I use everything. My life is my reference. You know what I'm saying?

We're doing this right now. Next week I'll get a script to be doing that. Don't get mad at me. No problem. You know what I'm saying? So from this experience, I go, oh, okay, I saw how you handle it, so okay.

Again, it's always wanting to be honest, it's always wanting to be honest, always finding the truth for what you do. God damn it. That's some deep words. God damn it. We're going to make some noise. It is shot time.

Let's have us get shot time. What are we taking? You told me, you told me. Okay, which one is it? They both pump daddies. You can take whichever one. But this is tequila. We can put ice in there for you, too, so it could be like chilled tequila.

No, I'm good. This is the flannel one, this is reposado. Meaning? Reposado is when you're digesting after you eat. Reposado, like I'm reposando. That's the name for that one. That's supposed to be the, yeah, that's supposed to be like the more expensive one,

that's supposed to be like the regular one. You could take both bottles though, by the way. Okay, so you know what? I just wanna take a shot with you. Of this? Okay, okay, of this, yep. I'll give you those two bottles. Yep like the regular one. You can take both bottles though, by the way. Okay, so you know what? I just want to take a shot with you. Of this? Okay, okay, this, yup. And the other two bottles. Yup. You pick one.

Here, give me another cup, brother. Because I'm going to take a shot of this. This is some colada. Out now. Okay, okay, okay. That add, it's paid for. I'll take it. All right, here we go.

Okay, look, look. Oh, I got a big shot. Come on, it's your birthday, y'all. It's your birthday? What is that? What is that? Regular syrup? That.

That? Who told you you could have some of that? Y'all got to relax. This is exclusive. Yo, listen. This is to Luis Guzman for always being the best representative for Puerto Rican people. You are so many people that sit back and just watch you and admire you, admire your humbleness, admire how you in every movie, admire.

I can tell that you're a guy who's into the craft because you're into everything. I can tell. And we just want to admire that. We want to respect you and want to say that. You make us proud every day That's pretty cool Cuz we're alcoholics here So we need to break it down. When you take a shot, you hear the orange pale.

Is that like a cheat code? No, cheat code. And this is what I learned. You know how we used to do shots of tequila and put the salt in it and then the lemon in it? And you do that shit? You know why people did that? That was the gringos that did that shit. The gringos got us again.

Because the gringos would drink bad tequila. You understand? So they can't taste it. So they would do that shit. So everybody does it. So what I learned, when you drink good tequila, you zip it. Mmm. And you highlight the taste.

Mmm. All rich. Okay, now, when we went to the liquor store to get your Don Julio, it was a different Don Julio. It was the 70. But I made that mistake before, and I bought somebody, like, the more expensive version, and they was like, I don't drink that. I drink the cheap one. So that's, so, is there a difference or no in the Don Julio's do you like the 71 or

you like this one I like the 1492 because it's really nice and smooth that's the best I mean, Oscar just told me that I'm the budget. No, no. That was a nice day, too. I would have just said that. We see the $70 one, but you know what happened?

One time I had a guest, and they asked for Hennessy, and I bought them the expensive Hennessy, and they was like, what? I like the cheap shit. And I'm like, man. And we bought three bottles. And we boy three bottles

so yeah yeah yeah relax but so now so now like we were saying earlier um do you think that your first roles like you know being that you were playing Latinos were it was just that

like you was just going to play Latinos you ever thought well it wasn't really until I did the Bone Collector you know Where it was just that, like you was just gonna play Latinos, you ever thought? Well, it wasn't really until I did The Bone Collector, you know, because when that role was originally written, it had a gringo last name, you know? But you kind of played a gringo because, was your name in that movie eddie torres oh no no you was not great yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it wasn't it wasn't eddie schwartz but you know um the producer just thought it would be a good idea and they gave me a shot at it and i did it and and pretty much yeah thank you thank you. And so from that point on, you know, things got a little more mixed up.

I mean, I did this movie called The Count of Monte Cristo, and, like, who would have guessed, man, you know? The only period piece movie that I've ever done. It was beautiful. I shot it in Ireland and Malta and the Mediterranean. And it's like, you know, okay, cool. Now, Puerto Rico is in Paris. Puerto Rico is in Paris.

Puerto Rico is in Paris. The same shit. My bad. Puerto Rico is in Paris. That's part two. I'm in there. Dale. I'm in there.

Just gave you part two. So how did you guys come up with this idea of Puerto Rico is in Paris? My good brother, Eddie Garcia, he had a friend. And Trent said, you know, you come up with a movie, and I'll fund it. So I turned to my boy, Ian Edelman. We turned to our friend, Ian Edelman. And we said, hey, you know, we got some money on the table. If you write this movie, we can

get it done. So Ian wrote the movie. We got it financed. You know, we had the money even before we had the script. And my boy Ian, who was the guy that created How to Make It in America, he wrote it, he directed it.

We put a producing team together, and we shot the movie in Prague, Paris, and New York. And, you know, it was a labor of love, man. It was a beautiful movie. We had fun doing it. It was cool. Now, are you going to ever direct yourself? You know, I've been asked that many times.

And I did direct this one little thing for friends. And, you know, directing is, you really got to be ready for it, you know, because you got to understand that as a director, and I've seen this, man, from the moment you get there to the moment you leave, your mind is like always thinking, you know, especially when you're first starting out because there's so many things that you have to look at, you know, and overlook and check and double and triple check, you know.

So it's a lot of freaking mental work. And I did this thing, bro, and I can tell you, I used to get home at night and go straight to bed, man, with my clothes on, man, because I'm not ready to do that yet. Direct? You know, but I mean, pretty much what I would like to do is help produce, you know, and, you know, I'll keep doing my thing.

Have you ever produced something before? Not indirectly. Right. I mean, not indirectly, I should say. Right. But, you know, that's like me just helping my friends,

you know, and giving them tips and advice and, you know, let's do it this way. Actually, I have produced one of my things.

I produced Puerto Rican Departure. That's what makes a noise. I knew that, God damn it. I was waiting for you to finish

and say, yeah, you did that. Did you enjoy it? I don't have detectives in there? I'm getting this movie confused. Are y'all detectives in that movie? No. Yeah. Oh, alright. Cool, cool, cool. I didn't get to finish watching the whole thing because I'm Puerto Rican.

I gotta give you 100%. And I was doing something bad at that time while I was watching it. I'll tell you later. I know. I'm not gonna ask. I'll tell you later. Okay, okay I'm not going to ask. I'll tell you later. So, you come from LES. You got this role. When is the moment that you say,

this is it, this is me? Now, because you said you was going back to the social, what was it, social worker? He was going back. So, when was the moment where you said, I'm going to quit and this is it? I think it was like 1991. Because I started it in 1985, 86.

And I just think in 1991, because I got kind of burnt out of being a social worker, and shit was becoming so freaking bureaucratic. And, you know, I just kind of feel that I did my job. That's a big word, bureaucratic. I'm sorry, I had to stop you. That's a big word. No, I feel like I did my job, and it was time to move on, you know?

That's what bureaucratic means? I'm trying to use it in another sentence, like tomorrow. Bureaucratic? What's that? Bureaucratic? Bureaucratic. What does that mean? What, did I say it wrong?

No, no, no. I'm trying to ask what it means because I want to use it. Oh, bureaucratic? You want to know what bureaucratic means? That means like people that freaking want to make your life miserable by asking you to make out forms

and paperwork that are not necessary. I definitely can't use that word in this sentence. We'll work on that. We'll work on that. Let's take another shot. We're going to send you to bureaucracy. Oh, you know what I forgot to tell you? What?

That cap is a shot glass. Look. This thing? That cap, yeah, look at that. Uh-huh. You take it off and it's a shot glass. Look at that. And nobody don't got to touch your shit because that's your shit.

So nobody else don't got to touch your shit. You can pour it right in there. That's good to know. Boo-boo. Web-bye. I was thinking that if somebody does touch my shit and they take off, they should make a video. No, no.

Once it goes to the top, it goes web-bye. Watch. Once it goes to the top, web-bye. Watch. Pour it. Pour it. Web-bye. Pour it in there. Oh, shit. My fucking mic., it goes, wepa. Watch. Once it goes to the top, wepa. Watch. Pour it. Pour it. Wepa. Pour it in there.

And actor-comedians. Actor-comedians. Mike Epps, because he's an actor-slash-comedian, right? Comedian, yeah. You are first actor, and you know I'm racist because he happens to be Puerto Rican. Let's make some noise. Because, you know, I grew up,

oh, this is what I wanted to show you. Since I was a kid, since I was a kid, I always thought of making my own movie. And that's my father. And I always, forever, I always thought of making my own movie. And that's my father. And I always, forever, I always thought that you can play my father. I'm going to throw my father's picture around. That's on the back of Melvin Flynn's album. He got gloves on.

Yeah, he got gloves. And listen, he's a Puerto Rican with green eyes, tail, 500 tattoos, earrings. And he birthed me. And I'm the only, like, out of all my siblings, I'm the only dark-skinned one, and everybody else is light-skinned. So, like, if you look at me, they're all Super O's. You call them Oscar?

Oscar? Oscar? Super O, you Oscar, goddammit. Yo, you know how much drugs that guy used to move back in the day, Super O? That's a lie. Back in the days. He's Super Bowl? That's a lie. A lie. Back in the days. He's legit now.

Back in the day, yeah. He's legit now. All lies. Yeah, he got passed the PO. All lies. So look. Ah, shit. Motherfucker just hit me with a fantastic message.

Get out. So you're on Grand Theft Auto Vice. No shit. What? Did you know? Did you know? Like, did your kids tell you how big that game was? Or you knew it? Well, I met the owners. And one of my boys knew the owner. Let's make some noise for you talking rich talk right there.

That was rich talk right there. He said, Nori, relax. I met the owner. You know, they invited me to their place that was on Broadway right off of Houghton Street.

Like, they had like two floors, man, of loft, you know? And one floor was all the gamers,

man, all those young kids just playing and stuff and, you know, so my boy, me and him were walking back

to the LDS and he's telling me, you know, this is, you know, they make more money than like Paramount Studios, you know, so my boy, me and him were walking back to the LDS, and he's telling me, you know, they make more money than like Paramount Studios. You know, in the first week, they sell like half a billion dollars in games. Half a billion dollars. Half a billion. Oh, yeah, dude. Is your boy telling you this as a part of the movie company or is he part of the game company, your boy, he says, telling you this? He knows the owners.

Oh, okay. So he's my boy. Okay, cool. You know what I mean? So he was explaining to me how it works. So anyway, I went in, and I did this shit. And so when the game came out, they sent it to me, and my two boys were playing. And I don't play video games.

So I was just watching them, and I was like, oh, shit, I did that? Oh, my God. Oh, you had already did the voiceover No, bro I mean, I Because I don't do video games and shit, you know Oh, see So what happened was Everybody was gone from the house

I said, oh shit, you know Because my kids would say Oh yeah, pal, we saw your character And it's like, oh shit, okay So you got to get to level four, pal Level four, I don't know what that means. So I start playing, and like in the first five minutes, I try to carjack a nice caddy convertible.

Sounds like an LES guy. Okay? These two old ladies get out. And they got guns. And they got fucking umbrellas. So I start punching one out and then the one behind me stabs me in the fucking head

with the umbrella and like fuck me, man. I got taken out by two old ladies. Oh, they took you out. They took me out, bro. That shit was like the most embarrassing shit, but just go to show I don't have the game set skill. What up, Drink Chance Army?

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here.

And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?

Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there's so many stories out there.

Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.

Let's make some noise for the time. I still feel like you're going to walk me to the train station right now. Here we go.

And I'll get you there, too. My role in Boogie Nights. Boogie Nights. I had that there. Boogie Nights, okay. My notes. My role in Traffic. Traffic. I'm a contact. Okay. Let me see if, okay. My notes. My role in Traffic. Traffic.

Okay. Let me see if that's in there. My role in Out of Sight. Okay. The Count of Monte Cristo. The biggest flop in the world, Pluto Nash. I love that character that I did. What else?

Magnolia. The Limey. Punch Drunk Love. Journey to the Mysterious Island, Mal de Amores, which is an incredible Puerto Rican movie done in Puerto Rico, and Puerto Rico to Paris, The Bone Collector. Oh, my God. Can I stop myself? Crocodile Dundee. Crocodile Dundee really wasn't much of a role. It wasn't more of an experience.

Now, when you a hood nigga, if you in there, you're in there. You're in there, you're in there. They took the boy from the... Because you was the king of New York, too. What? You was the king of New York, too. No, sorry. My bad.

Yeah. Now, do you remember me from Ghost? From Ghost? Where the bitch that was... Where you was doing? They was doing... Demi Moore. Do you remember me from Ghosts? From Ghosts? Where the bitch that was doing Demi Moore. Do you remember me from that? You was the robber. You was the robber. I was younger.

Oh, I do remember you was the robber. You was the stick up kid that was out to attack. Time out, time out. Oh shit, you're right. Do you remember that? Yes, I do remember that. Okay, so let me break it to you. Break it down.

It wasn't me. What? No, sir. It was your ghost? No. It was my boy, Rick Aviles, who used to host Showtime of the Apollo. You know? So the reason I bring that up, everybody and their mother till this day

thinks I'm that guy from Ghosts. So if I got a nickel for that, I probably own this studio and buy everybody in this room a Tesla. Okay. So I'm going to run through a couple of movies.

Okay, go ahead. And you tell me. Go ahead. Okay, Boogie Nights. We already established. Yes, sir. Boom. Pelham 1, 2, 3.

Yeah. Denzel Travolta. You got mad movies We already established. Yes, sir. Boom. Pelham, one, two, three. Yeah. Denzel Travolta. You got mad movies with Denzel. Yes, sir. All right, let's stop right there. Because a lot of people, nobody in this room knows Denzel. I met him one time in my mind, right? That's a good place.

And it was around Malcolm X time. And he asked me to smoke a blunt, and I said, relax. But this is all in my mind. Okay. Okay. But how did you, you worked on two movies? How many movies you worked on? Was those two?

Just those two. Yeah, but I worked more with him in The Bone Collector than I did taking out the pillow. How is it working with Mr. Kersney? Relax, hold on. Stay on Denzel right now. We never spoke about Denzel in our podcast at all. Go ahead. So is he like, he reminds you of Al Pacino's type of style?

You know, everybody has a different style. You know, everybody does their craft differently. You know, I don't compare one to the other. So what does he do? Right. You know, it's like. How was it working with him? Oh, working with Denzel was incredible, bro.

He did this one scene one time, and it was like, I'm watching a guy who can't get up and walk, you know? Oh, you're talking about Bone Collector? Yeah. He can't get up and walk, okay. Yeah, and he did that. He did this one scene so incredible and I was like,

I was like frozen because I was... Are we talking about the scene where you come and you pull the shit out and you start going through the shit? And he wanted to try

to get out of bed and he starts crying. And it's like, I was frozen and all of a sudden, I was like, oh shit, Lulu, you got to align.

You got to do align. Because you don't want to waste an incredible moment in someone's, you know, craft performance, you know. So Denzel had his moments that, to me, as an actor, he was memorizing. And as far as being able to work And see that and feel that And experience that In the same space Breathing the same air Fucking incredible But did you know he was supposed to be

Like this Oscar winning actor then Did you know that then Or you figured He's okay He might make it But You know I never even think that way man Because like

I just think of everybody As another artist You know I mean I know when I walk into a room, like, you know, what everybody's status is, whether they won awards or not, you know. My whole thing is that once I hear action, like I said, everything is, it's on a level. Whatever you give me, I'll give you back. Whatever I give you, you're going to give me back. Right. You know, that to to give me back. Right.

You know, that to me is my heart. Right. You know, not that I don't think I'm working with Al Pacino. I know I'm working with Al Pacino, but right now this guy's name is Freddy, and he got issues, and that's what I got to deal with. God damn it. Everybody, it's the Puerto Rico Day Parade. Make some goddamn noise.

God damn it. All right, someone throw some more movies out there to you real quick. Cabo Ray? No, I'm going to throw some more movies out there. Okay, Anger Management. Yeah. You didn't mention that earlier. Okay.

Anger Management. What about it? Tell me more. Well, you know, I work with Adam Sandler. I think I've done I work with Adam Sandler I think I've done four movies with Adam Sandler he's a good friend truly a good friend and when he asked me to do

anger management we had already worked on the movie called Punch Drunk Love and Adam Sandler Paul Thomas Anderson wrote that and Paul Thomas Anderson wrote Boogie Nights and Magnolia and Punch Drunk Love. And so if people don't know, Adam Sandler was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in Punch Drunk Love. So anyway, he called me up right after that, that he was working with what we call anger management.

And I read the script. And basically, I was given the liberty to create this character. You know, so my role in that movie was of a very flamboyant dude. You know? I had cornrows done.

I kicked my ass every day because I never had cornrows and shit that fucking hurt. And then I did this mustache that was like a question mark. You know? When you're an artist, you fucking create, and that's what I did. And I based that character on this dude

that I knew from the neighborhood, you know, that grew up with us, who was very flamboyant, but like always dressed him sharp. But, you know, he had a very feminine type of voice, but he could kick any fucking dude's ass any day of the week. Right. So that's how that role came about. So what was your question about that role?

No, that's what I wanted. I wanted to clarify that. Okay, now. Wait, clarify what? I wanted. I wanted to clarify that. Okay, now. Wait, clarify what? I wanted, relax. What's going on? No, I wanted to clarify that we had the right information. Oh, yes, you did, sir.

So now, also, this is not on my list. This is on my personal. Because a lot of hood people, they don't like this movie, but I love this movie. Okay. Keanu. Ke this more. Okay Keanu Keanu cool Keanu. I'm sorry People like, you know, like real hood people They feel like oh, you know those guys and I cannot care less. I'm in the comedy, right? I love comedy and I thought that movie was funny. I think those guys are some of the kings of comedy

No, I think in their own way. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? It's just like if you compare real hip-hop to new hip-hop or old hip-hop, it's still all hip-hop. Right. It's all hip-hop. Absolutely. So I could care less if you think it's real or whatever you think is real. As long as people respect it and love it.

And that's what it was with Keanu. Like, I remember, oh, shit, this is me. After Dave Chappelle. Yeah, after Dave Chappelle's show. Jake. No, I'm good. After Dave Chappelle's show, I wanted to watch comedy. Right.

And Key and Peele kind of came on after that. And I wasn't kind of mad at their stuff. No. But a lot of people were. It was smart comedy that these guys. To me, that's what I thought. Peele kind of came on after that and I wasn't kind of mad at their stuff no it was smart comedy that these guys to me that's making statements about society I mean if you look at Jordan's movie get out have you seen that movie I haven't seen it yet but do you think out but um have you seen it what I mean was it was kind of like the perfect people because at that time after Dave Chappelle had quit or moved on whatever he did

Can't pill he didn't quite take Dave Chappelle's place but he did take a place in there where and now Barack Obama is president and It's like, you know the black and white type aside like you know and they kind of they kind of focused on that and I kind of I kind of focused on that and I kind of I kind of appreciated it like I was right like the only like nigga nigga better sorry I don't know that makes two of us you know I was like yeah I like it like I don't I don't see the big you know shit that people are saying they're not really from there like I didn't really I just I appreciate it being entertained I just went and watch key I like a lot of people that always have criticism about shit.

And everybody's entitled to their opinion. But you know, it's like, but you can't criticize people when they're doing something that's really progressive and creative and shit. You know, because then you're just pretty much a hater. So then what you got going on? You know what I mean? These brothers came out and they, as far as I'm concerned, it's fucking smart comedy. It was making statements. It was making statements

about society. It was just having fun. You know what I mean? So, I tip my hat to them. And by the way, like Keanu, you know, it's comedy, baby. It's fun, you know? I love Keanu.

That's what it is. I watched that shit all the time. And the cat. Are we going on a shot? Let's go. I like this. Now your lower east side is coming out. Look at you.

He must be fucked up, look at that. That's like a birthday. Take a picture. Perfect, look at those for that. Yeah.

The fucking truth came out. Yeah, but go ahead, I love what you're saying. We filmed at the Intercontinental Hotel on the rooftop and that's actually where they used to meet up. So, you know, we filmed in some of the actual places, bro. Right. So I don't know if Oscar told you this.

Back to Oscar. Tell me that. My very first rhyme that the hip hop world Has ever heard me Say Is I say Jose Luis gotcha

Golden guns and tons Oh shit That's the very first Time I mean I had other records Prior to that But it never came out

Or maybe we tried To make it come out And it never worked I mean I'm just Throw records prior to that, but it never came out, or maybe we tried to make it come out, and it never worked. I mean, I'm just throwing it out there. And so the first time hip-hop, there's a record called L.A. L.A. And we were from New York, Queens,

Left Rack, Queensbridge, particularly. And we went at the West Coast And the very first time Hip hop has ever heard me I say Jose Luis Gotcha

Golden Guns Zintons General Brass No shit And then Again You take the role Jose Luis

Gotcha Don't tell me you auditioned For that too No I didn't audition No I didn't audition No I didn't audition But in my mind I was like That's the guy who should have got it Well let me tell you man

These guys were unbelievable I'm taking a shot with myself or everybody? No I'm not Okay okay Come on You Puerto Rican you can't say no And this is two shots just so y'all know This is one shot and this is another shot Okay I got a shot You Puerto Rican, you can't say no. And he's drinking water? Look, look, look. And this is two shots, just so you all know.

This is one shot, and this is another shot. Okay, I got a shot. You got a shot. We need a shot, or you got a shot? No, he never got a shot. You got to relax. Okay. All right.

Let me get some ice. Ice? No, no. This is my shot. I don't take ice, but this is my drink. I drink the same thing. Okay. Oh, yeah. I drink a drink, and is my shot. I don't take an ice, but this is my drink. I drink the same thing. OK. I drink a drink and then a shot.

Like, some people do beer and then a shot, but I drink and then a shot. Because I'm a real nigga. Que si que. I was going to break this down. Dale papi. And let's close that motherfucker. Yeah, they're going to close it down.

Let's close that motherfucker. They're going to close it down, but you know, the fucked up part about that motherfucker Yeah they're gonna close it down They're gonna close it down But you know the fucked up part about it Now they're gonna have all these little private Jails Damn I didn't think of that part They're gonna have private jails In New York They're gonna put a lot of CEOs out of work

You know I don't know what that was Private jails Put it on mute Till you get it Yeah that's right He's so professional I want you to direct What is it called

Biopsy Biopsy Biopsy My man you've been studying up on that He's back he's back. He's back. Did you take it off mute? Yeah.

We got rated. All right. You think they got rated? Yo, where your shots at? We taking another shot. You got rated? Yo. Yo, we taking another shot.

Come on. Bro, he ain't got shit in there, bro. Wait up. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Watch him. No, no. I trust him.

Oh, my God. My dad. This is good, my dad. Yeah. No, no. He's a drinker. I can't take the sound off. Look at that, everybody.

Come on. Everybody, one, two. So what's private jail? Private jail. Well, that's what they're doing now. They, you know, now being in the jail business is profitable. But. And it takes the responsibility out of the state and the local government.

But you got to figure this. Guess who's paying for that? You know? Every time you put somebody in jail, that's $60,000 per person for the whole year. You know what it takes to educate somebody four years of college? You could do it with a third of that money.

You could send all these men and women that, you know, have not committed these atrocious crimes anyway. We're not educating them. Why keep them in a system that it's going to cost you, you, you, and everybody in this room money out of your pocket? Look at what it costs to go to college. $25,000 a year compared to what? Keeping somebody behind bars, keeping them angry so that when they come out,

they come out angry and they commit more shit. You know? And so now, you close Rackers Island and every borough got to have their own private jail. So somebody's making money off that. You know?

But what would be your answer to like Rackers Island? Because Rackers Island as a native New York City, as a native new york city no matter what borough you come from you got to come to queens uh to come to jail if you commit a crime so what would be your answer if they say all right we're gonna close rikers island so now but i mean there's still people that do crimes i'm not saying they should be locked up

or maybe they shouldn't but what would be your answer if he was to say? Shit, man. You know, I'm not saying we shouldn't close or that we should close Rockers Island. You know, I think we need to create a better system for people out there. You know, it's too fucking easy to commit a crime, man.

And it's, you know, mass incarceration of black and Latin kids and stuff like that. You know, I don't know, I've been down to Louisiana and I filmed in Louisiana State Penitentiary. In Louisiana State Penitentiary,

the population of that maximum security prison, I gotta say, is 90% young black men serving 30 years plus, which is the average sentence. But when you talk to some of these young people, you could definitely

hear in their speaking, they're not educated whatsoever. They're talking to you like a fourth, fifth, sixth grader. You know, and so, you know, something is wrong with society. You know, our people, it's important that we get a good education. And I say, shit, it costs $60,000 a year to lock one person up, and you lock that person up for 10 years, that's $600,000 a year to lock one person up, and you lock that person up for 10 years, that's $600,000.

When you could've spent $150,000 in educating this person, and helping them get a profession and shit like that. But society doesn't see it that way. At least the government and shit. So it's more profitable to have people locked up than it is to educate them. You know, because they're going to make money off the uneducated

people that commit all these fucking petty crimes and shit, you know. People are in jail because they commit petty crimes, you know, steal a fucking sandwich, do something to eat, and now you got three strikes against you, so I'm putting you away for 15 years because you fucking stole

something to eat. But you know what? For those 15 years, it's gonna cost $900,000 to keep you locked up. $900,000. You know what kind of a life that person could have with that kind of money? But why?

And you know, that's just one. You know? You look at the budget Of these states man It's in the billions of dollars to keep people at stuff That's a misinvestment of money That's a misinvestment of community That's a misinvestment of humanity Okay

God damn I feel so terrible Trying to hand you a blunt after that. I feel so terrible. I just got to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got something? You got something, bro? You got cut off last time, E.

I don't smoke, brother. Why? No, no, he don't smoke. But you had a good question, but last time you got cut off last time, E. I don't smoke, brother. Why? No, no, he don't smoke. But you had a good question, but last time you got cut off, E. We need you to say that question again. Which one? The one where he was talking about what cities he answered that. But I really want to know, like, he's done so many roles, so many different kinds of roles.

What's his favorite role that he's played, whether it be TV, film, or whatever? You guys already talked about that? Yeah, but if you want to hear it, I'll tell you. Let's do it. Let's do it. Fuck that.

He's in Colombia. That's what I'm hearing. I mean, you know, I love Pachanga. I love my role in Boogie Nights. I love my role

in The Limey, Out of Sight, Traffic, Punch Drunk Love, The Count of Monte Cristo, Anger Management, you know, taking up the problem 1, 2, 3, Carlitos Way,

Q&A, Mal de Amores, The Bone Collector, Hold On, my role now on my CBS show, Cold Black. So I don't have one because I'm really fortunate. And, you know, shit has worked out for me that I got a really good role, man.

Like I said, I just embrace them all and do the best I can as an artist. Did you ever feel that you were ever at any point in your career typecasted? And if you did, if you were, did you care? I definitely was typecasted early on in my career. I did care because I knew that there was more to a Latino being this negative entity, you know, in entertainment. But, you know, I entertainment. But, you know, I waited my time, man. I did my work, and like I was

telling everyone here earlier, I put my building blocks together, you know, so one row, okay, he froze again because nobody stands like that. But he's going. He can keep going. You know, so

I just I just feel that You know I've been blessed man Because you know I'm this guy that showed up It wasn't about It wasn't about ego It wasn't about me trying to be better Than somebody else

It was always about me complimenting people Because you know when you compliment somebody in your craft and your heart you can work together that's why I call them Oscar I call them Subo O that's why Subo O connects us together because we're so humble and that's who we are we have so much great success and we're still just so down to earth that's right. That's what brings us, that's the kinetic energy that brings us together. Yeah, man, because, you know, I hear too much that, you know,

people have beef with each other and shit like that, and it's like, is it really necessary? I mean, you know, shit, man, people fucking lose their life over shit and the only beef i got is with my wife oh my god girl all my kids can take a and then they move the toilet paper i hate that i got drama right biggest beef i have and when you go to the fucking refrigerator, and you're looking for that last cup of juice, and there are like three fucking drops in the bottle. They leave it.

Who the fuck does that shit? Just throw it away. You know what I'm saying? Throw it away. What am I supposed to do? Squeeze the fucking... No, man. How many times has that... You know? My nephew did it to me yesterday. What's wrong with you bro listen listen first of all i'm gonna die right i'm trying i'm trying to get myself because listen listen i don't know scientifically proven there's no such thing as

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct

my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say it seems like the ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multibillion-dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company.

The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

Welcome to Play It, a new podcast network featuring radio and TV personalities talking business, sports, tech, entertainment, and more.

Play it at play.it. We're back to Drink Champs Radio with rapper N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. Now, now, I I got to ask you. Because you're here, you're family, we love you. But what do you think of Donald Trump? What was your first response? First of all, before I ask you what do you think of Donald Trump, what was your first response when you heard that this guy is president?

Because I feel like you had to be like me and feel like Hillary was running for sure. I felt like this. I felt like, oh, shit. Oh, shit. Something is fucked up here. This can't fucking be. He's back, guys. He's back.

Well, he's late. So I want to do something more important. We took him out of the room. Okay, you're just going to have to listen. But the thing is that you know, man, the state of America

is pretty fucked up, you know, because it's like, I don't understand, you know, this house represents us because it's supposed to represent the people that got you there, but when you get there, you don to represent the people that got you there. But when you get there, you don't represent the people. So many white people are disappointed.

Freaking special interests and shit. And, you know, like I say, the system needs some kind of balance. And it's far from that. You know, it's far from that you know it's far from that because what happens you got one fucking side that's fucking you know trenched in you got another fucking side trenched in nobody really fucking works together

you understand so it's like either my way or this way and then this side tries to block that side and it's like okay so it's showing that something is wrong with this store.

How the fuck did this store operate? It doesn't operate right. But I think outside of politics, I think really for me the bigger picture is Latinos, Latinos in this country the bigger picture is, you know, Latinos, Latinos in this country.

Because, you know, the thing is, shit, there's what, 36, 38 million Latinos now? We make up a third of this country? You know, but the problem that I find is we're really fucking fragmented. You know, because you got Boricuas and Dominicanos in New York, you got Cubanos in Miami, you know, you have Mexicanos in the Midwest, in the West Coast,

you know, Chicago, you got Boricuas and Mexican mix. But the thing is that we cannot say right now who's our one Latino leader that we look up to as a whole. I want to tell you right now. I want to tell you right now. You're not fucking Ted Cruz. I want to tell you who it is right now. I want to tell you who tell you right now. I'm going to tell you who it is. You're not fucking Ted Cruz. I'm going to tell you who it is right now. I'm going to tell you who it is right now. The one thing that we can respect about Donald Trump

is that Donald Trump led the leadership in unorthodox politics, right? Unorthodox. Did I say that right? You're basically unorthodox and being a good bullshit. But now that that's happening,

that makes it so that makes it so Kanye West can actually run for 2020. Good for him. In that time. But you know what I think should happen? What?

Because this is what we speak about on Drink Chance Podcast all the time, is we want our own community to take control of our community. You know what's one of the best things that could happen right now? Tell me. I'd like to know. Is you run for mayor of New York City. Who that? You.

Fuck that. I had a point in everything. When he said fuck that, it fucked me up. I appreciate that. And thank you for that. But if Trump can run America, you can't run New York. Come on.

But Trump can't run America. Exactly. But he's running it now. He got about 70 days. We're going to give you 75 days. Just make cocaine illegal. Legal. Make boricua. You can't arrest a Puerto Rican

nigga. They got immunity. We just got to's do a day Of Puerto Rico You what Okay A day of Puerto Rico This is what we're gonna do

Right We're gonna elect you mayor This might be a movie Or this might be reality Let's just figure it Let's figure it out Cause that's This nigga in president

Was a fake movie That became a reality So just Picture my image I need another motherfucking drink. Somebody help me out. You give me a shot, you help me out, here's what's going to happen. What are we going to do?

We're going to go to every hood and say, he's running for council. Who's running for council? You, right? But now listen, it could be a movie, so don't say no, because it could be a movie, or it could be reality. He's? You, right? Oh, shit. But now listen, it could be a movie. Oh, shit. So don't say no, because it could be a movie or it could be reality. He's still there, right, Colombia?

We put it together. You win New York City. Okay. Now, we go in the East Coast, now we go to the West Coast. Now, it's actually, because see, a lot of people say, what's the name? Barack Obama, isn't it? That nigga?

It's only three times. We did 73 podcasts. 74 podcasts. It's only three times. We did 73 podcasts, 74 podcasts. It's only three times tears came. 74, I just said that. 74 podcasts, only three times tears came out of my eyes. Did he? Did he? For sure.

Put that shit in my backpack. Beat thing. Oh, yeah. Yo, Super O, thank you so much. Yo, I can't thank you There's no way I can repay you Unless you like

Direct a movie And I'll just Start like in it for you Okay Or you know I'll do a role I'll shoot somebody for you But listen

It's you know It's so much of an honor To meet an actor That I love Like you know There's so many actors Now that our show Has blew up There's so much of an honor to meet an actor that I love. Like, you know, there's so many actors. Now that our show has blew up, there's so many people that call us. We want to make,

we want to continue our shit authentic with people that we relate to. Absolutely. And, um, Absolutely. We're not saying that we don't relate to them. I said that already. What the fuck is wrong with you?

But we're not saying... Come up with your own shit. Hold on, hold on. We're not saying that we don't relate to other guys, but we relate to where we come from and what we're doing. And you are 100%. If we had to choose a first actor, we

would love to choose you. And that's exactly what we did. We had, like, again, like I told you, we had actors that's comedians, actors that's rappers. We had, like again, like I told you, we had actors that's comedians, actors that's rappers. We never had an actor, actor. You are our first actor, actor

and we have nothing but love and genuosity and sincerity and we just want to continue to take another shot with you

and continue to fucking hang. And continue to celebrate your spirit, your legacy, your, everything that you represent, because as a Latino, as a Puerto Rican,

as a Puerto Rican and as a Latino, and as just a man, period, you are our version of Denzel. You are a hood version of Denzel. It's not a role that I ever seen you play that I can say he's frontin that's why I never said which it you notice all the questions I asked you I've never said what was your worst role because I can't I can't relate to that somebody else could probably say what is your worst role. Let me ask you, what was the role that you took

and you said, I want that? I think every role I took, I took it because I was taking it out to do it. You know?

That's why I can tell. Everything is different. You know what I mean? If you look at it, I look at it from the perspective of like, what did I learn from that moment?

You know? And you look at your mistake or your flaws or what you can do better. And, you know, it's not about being hard on yourself. You know, it's about learning from your process, you know, because that's where the teaching comes, you know? So, I mean, that's how I think. And you never had a role that you took and said, damn, I wish I didn't do that. Well, I mean, there's roles that don't turn out the way you want them to, you know, maybe because I can't tell you a movie, you know, because that's like my own thing.

Okay. But sometimes there's just directors that take something in a different direction or something written differently in a different way to mean something different and it's like, you know, you know from your life or whatever, it just doesn't jive. I mean, but those are really rare for me because, I mean,

I've been blessed, like I said, man, just about just about 99% of what I've done, I've really enjoyed doing and have loved working on and have learned from and, you know, I've really enjoyed doing and have loved working on and have learned from and, you know, I've worked with everybody, man, you know, and that's

fucking unbelievable. From Al Pacino to Dick Zell, Washington. I'm just saying, I mean, and everybody in between, Alan Sandler, you know, Nick Nolte, you know, Omar Nassante, you know, Jennifer Anderson. Any Haitian actors you ever work with? between Alan Sandler, Nick Nolte, Omar Nassante,

Jennifer Aniston. Any Haitian actors you ever worked with? You never think of Haitian? Haitian? He's a Haitian guy. Sure, I'm sure I have. You can tell him he can relax. You can tell him he can relax. I mean, who hasn't been on Meryl Streep?

You know what I mean? Meryl Streep is Haitian. I respect that. Why Haitian? Yeah, she's white Haitian. You learned something. I just learned something. He's Haitian, but he's never been to Haiti. I don't understand that, but.

He's Haitian. He's Haitian. He's Haitian. Probably your bro, you've never been to Haiti? He's never been to Haiti. He's 60 years old, but he's never been to Haiti. That's okay. That's okay.

He's 60. How old is he? 60? 60. 60, but he's never been too late. And see, listen, if you look at me and my nephew cuts, my barber shaped us up. Oh, then he goes right back to the barber. My barber, he shaped him up, but he said, fuck his size.

No, I told him, man, we on a time. We on a time. He just said he doesn't deserve to be fresh. Yo, another one? I'm in. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time.

You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time.

You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're on time. You're Rican. I'm Puerto Rican. EFN. Yo, EFN.

What the fuck was that? The knocking on the door there? Yo. I'm actually, yo, E, I'm going to be honest. I got to take a pee-pee real quick because you hold it down until I come back. And we only got five more minutes. Five more minutes, that's it. But I got to take a pee-pee, okay?

Rat-a-miss. Tell us about Rat-a-miss. I don't take a pee-pee, man. Okay, okay. For the weight, that was the name. We do the weighting. I don't unhook myself. Rat-a-miss, Jam, man.

Yo, what's up, bro? Hey, can we go back to the politics stuff? The politics stuff? He wants to go back to the politics. Go ahead. What do you got to say, bro? Now, when you were saying the stuff about Latinos being fragmented, that's the one thing

that I think, the only thing, if anybody can say there's anything positive about Trump, is when he attacked Mexicans, that was one of the few times I anybody can say there's anything positive about Trump, is when he attacked Mexicans, that was one of the few times I've ever seen all Latinos kind of come together. And out here in Colombia, you know, everybody's been asking me about Trump and this

and that and this and that. But you were kind of talking about like, that we need or we don't have, there's a lack of someone like leading us as a whole. What do you think? How can we fix that fragmentation? Because I think it's deeper than...

It goes back to colonial times, why we're so fragmented as a people, as an ethnicity or whatever. Well, I think, number one, right now, there's a lot of fear within our community because all of a sudden these freaking ICE squads one right now you know there's like a lot of fear within our community because understanding these freaking ice squads you know and breaking and breaking families up but i mean look there's many latinos that are born in this country and and um you know we have to really strengthen

the grassroots of latino communities because that's where it starts strengthen the grassroots of Latino communities because that's where it starts, man, the grassroots. You know what I mean? Like, career Latino politicians is not the fucking answer because they have an agenda. And to me, that agenda is not beneficial to the community. But the community, you know, has an agenda. And the agenda is, you know, they want to better their lives and make sure that their

kids can go to college and it's affordable and they got to go to healthcare and shit like that. But, you know, somehow some leader has to come up or, you know, even if it's like four or five Latinos that come together at the front and they represent every cross of Latinos in this country, then at least that's a beginning. Why? Because the vote, man. The vote. When Latinos vote in numbers and when they understand the issues and shit like that you know we're a very powerful

force you know but like I said man this election that happened this past year in this country it happened the way it happened I think people need to study it you know really take a look at it because

you know to me there's something wrong when somebody loses a fucking election by four million votes and they're the president and then the whole fucking system called the electoral college. So to somebody vote, you know, here is worth more than somebody's here who, you know, it should be one person person one vote, man. That's how every other democracy in this universe does it.

You know, we have an electoral college. Somebody loses by four million. He fucking thinks that like, oh, I won my last light. You know what? 270 compared to 53 million people. You know, there's no, are you fucking kidding me?

You know, so, but then again, I also feel that the Democratic candidate wasn't the right candidate either. Were you active during the election? Yeah, I was promoting Get Out the Vote. I was promoting also Bernie Sanders. Okay. You know, because I dug his philosophy. I felt like Bernie Sanders was the right candidate, too.

I felt that he woke up, you know, the thing called millennials. People finally thought, oh, shit, I got a fucking purpose to vote. But then again, I think that the Democratic National Committee sabotaged Bernie Sanders, you know, and again, all the old school kind of politicians that, you know, guys, you got to fucking progress. Get up off your ass. Don't show up just every four years, you know?

Like, they sabotaged Bernie, you know? And I'm not saying that, you know, Bernie would have been the perfect candidate, but we all had a choice, and, you know, I think this country was willing to make that choice. And not all this shit has happened, whether, like, you know,

the Russians were involved in trolling, you know, the key states and shit on behalf of what's-his-face, you know, but it is what it is, you know. I just think that people need to step up, and anybody that goes to Washington, D.C. to represent your constituents, you know, that really should be your primary job to do, and not that of special interest, because then it's people that vote

for you to be where you are, and it's not again, the special interest people. It needs to answer to the people. You know what I'm saying? But the people have to be willing to question their authority. And what I mean by their

authority, they have the authority to say, yo, dude, we voted you in. Yo, woman, we voted you in. What are you doing for us? You know? So, I mean, let me really look at it, you know? God damn it. So, I'm taking another shot and I'm out of here. That's it.

I'm out. One more shot. You gotta do it. I'm out. I'm done. You got to do one more shot. One more shot. Puerto Rican can never say no. Huh? That's what I was told. I'll say no, but for now, I'll say yes. From a father and by a mom, you can never say no.
