medicine specialist hip-hop legend Too Short is with us, and talent agent producer and personality. David Weintraub is here as well. Freaky Tales, the name of the movie. It's in theaters as you hear this. And I saw the trailer for it. It was really impressive. I mean, Pedro Pascal, Tom Hanks, Ben Mendelson, lots of names, really

cool piece. So tell us all about it. It's a movie based in 1987, Oakland, California. And it's about, in a nutshell, it's just about underdogs sticking up for themselves. That's all I can tell you because the movie is so unexpected, like from scene to scene and how it all falls together in the end that there's no way anybody can explain it. So you got to go see it. But is it, it's sort of three tales going on simultaneously? But you kind of don't, it doesn't really make sense until the end.

It's Tar of us this Tarantino ish Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Tarantino and I also love the format of a bunch of different things going on and Checking in and then going I it sounds counterintuitive when you think about making a movie because you just think about Rocky You know one guy wants to get to the championship training, you know, all thing. It feels counterintuitive to hop from this story to that story to the other story. But actually, many, many years ago, my grandfather, Laszlo Gorog, worked on a film called the tales of Manhattan. It was about tails, like coat and tails.

And it followed the jacket as it went from a conductor to a hobo and followed the life of this tails. It's kind of interesting, right? Yeah, it is. I don't think I'm saying it correctly. Did he write it? He wrote one segment of it. They did Manhattan.

You're just trying to one up us right now, because our movie's called Freaky Tales. You're like, my grandfather made a Tales movie. The Tales of Manhattan. There it is. From like what year? Not quite as diverse a cast, but there's a couple of brown faces down there somewhere.

Can you read who was in W.C. Fields? That's Paul Robeson. That's a legend. W.C. Fields, Edgar G. Robinson, Rita Hayworth, Henry Fonda. Jesus. Ginger Rogers. Paul Robeson. And are we talking about like 1952 or something?

1942? 1942. And it followed this jacket, this tails around. And it was- Charles Boyer. It's interesting, cause it would start with a conductor and then it would end up in some hobo would be wearing it at some point, but anyway.

Is that W.C. Fields? Is he the hobo? I didn't, I've never watched it. What'd you just say? You need to remake this show. This is- David's mind is going. This is, you know, Freaky Tales 2 with the jacket.

So how did you guys get involved with it? Well, I got a call one day out of the blue and we were thinking about doing some movies at some point. And I got a call from Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden who wrote and directed Captain Marvel, this monster monster movie. And they were like, we're huge to short fans. And we're working on an idea about Oakland underdogs. And we need his music, his voice, his ideas, and his presence somewhere in this movie. And before I even called short, like I'm a huge fan of their work. And I was like, we're in, you know, and then I called short told him him about it. And he thought we were doing a Marvel movie. I said, the guys who did Captain Marvel, he's like, okay, now we're doing a Marvel movie.

Yeah, you tell it like that. No, he really called me and said, Marvel wants to do a movie with you. I did not, but. He reeled it back in after it all landed in the right space. But it came out Marvel. Doc, Doc, he has selective memory. I go through this in the 17 years of our business.

It's selective. He will remember it his way. We might want to do a little analyzing on that. So it's in theaters. What kind of release are we talking about? Wide, nationally. You know, it was, we did the movie, took it to Sundance. It performed really well there.

Lionsgate did the acquisition last year, so it's been this year wait of coming out for Pedro to be available to do the press. And Friday we hit it, and that's four years in the making. But I think it's an unexpected project, not only from Short and myself, but to be a part of such a big movie and really the quality of it.

I hope when you guys see it, you'll really enjoy it. It's a wild ride. The trailer is really impressive. I hope when you guys see it, you'll really enjoy it. It's a wild ride. The trailer is really impressive. I didn't know what to expect, but I mean, I've seen quite a few trailers. You get a pretty good idea from the trailer. I'll tell you what you get. You get an idea of budget and quality.

Like, that's hard. You can't always tell exactly if it's a great movie or not, but you go Okay, this is not some fly-by-night low-budget. Whatever. It's well done and it's interesting and you get to see who's in it Although I didn't see Tom Hanks in it or did I well Tom Tom, you know is from Oakland So so it was sort of a relationship with the directors that they had he's you know He's not the star of it, but he has a very very meaty role in it and it's it's it's surprising. So you're not gonna see him in the marketing of the movie but he

has a pretty big role in it. I would is that as some kind of contractual thing? Because I'd like if I'm Tom Hanks is in my movie I'm shoving him. Well yeah if you're doing it you know for a nominal amount of money and it's like a favor thing you're not gonna get the rights to market and advertise that version. Put them in the trailer and it's also a pleasant surprise when it happens and you don't know. Yeah, no, I kind of agree. I hate it when I see a trailer where you just kind of go, okay, now I just know what happens in this movie.

So I'm going to sit here and wait for it. I would think this would be a really good time for a film like this because China is gonna be shutting down to all the big ones the big budget films and people are gonna be looking for stuff here So they're not gonna make the crazy budget films and real story could become the thing again, right? Story and characters. Yeah, so China's done no more no this morning. They said they're not gonna allow importing of any Of our cultural materials. Oh my god. Wow. Oh really? Yeah. Good times. Well, censorship. Yeah. So no freaky tales in China. I guess I guess we can cancel. I don't think it would be. I don't think that's where you're

gonna have your success. You're gonna have it here and in Europe. Yeah, for sure. That is wild. So who wrote the film? Ryan Fleck and Anna Bowden. Oh, so they wrote it. They wrote it and directed it. So they also, I don't know if you ever saw a movie

called Half Nelson. That was a big Sundance movie. It was Ryan Gosling's first kind of movie. So they're the masters of the art house, indie super award-winning films and then as They elevated they made these giant blockbusters like Captain Marvel So they kind of hit both tears and this one goes kind of in the middle because it's a hybrid action comedy You know karate wild ethereal movie, but it also has this you know very dark

arthouse feel to it. Yeah, I've seen half Nelson, I'm trying to remember. Ryan Gosling was a drug addict teacher, and it was like the story of him being an addict and being a public school teacher. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, I sort of, I remember seeing it,

and I heard it was really good, and that's why I saw it. I don't know, is that movie 15 years old now? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so yeah, it's kind of nice when people cut their teeth making real movies and then get the budget because they can take that storytelling that you have to do when you don't have the budget. Half Nelson is 19 years old

Well, he hasn't been in a movie since medicine society. Well, oh really? We have voices one and have a small part in it. Yes, look at me. Oh, they um decide to slide me in there but from what I was told Ryan the director one of the directors was about 10 years old and he was a big fan of my music as a kid growing up in around Oakland and At some point in his young film career He said he wanted to make a movie named after one of my songs freaky tales, which is the song I made in 1987 and He just had the title

Didn't they say he said he didn't know what this movie was gonna be about, but one day he's gonna make a movie called Freaky Tales. And when he got with Anna about finally doing the project, they went through a few ideas, and he would come up with these outlandish ideas, and she would shoot them down, and finally they agreed on a story, and this is the one we got.

So it's sort of a passion project for him, and he put a lot of Bay Area music in there Different styles he put some of the old 70s stuff some Tower of Power and Point of Sisters and just a lot of name It's very it's very um Bay Area Oakland based on them the nostalgia did you feel the Oakland? They actually filmed it in Oakland and there was kind of challenging because they don't make a lot of movies in Oakland like hardly none and They put they pulled it off They were given the option of filming somewhere and pretending you're in Oakland

But they it says since it's a passion project they kicked up the extra bucks and got it done in in Oakland Nobody shoots anything in California. Right just think of that surprised. Yeah, but we over the years We have the San Francisco backdrop movies We know the Bay Area we see the Golden Gate movies, but yeah never little Oakland. Oakland doesn't make it. No I'm trying to think of what movies got in Oakland. Let's see There was the fan with Robert De Niro and Wesley Snipes. That was in Oakland That giant he was a San Francisco Giants fan, he was kind of a poor guy, so he didn't, I think he lived, may have been in Oakland,

De Niro, the Knife salesman. But if it matters, we got homegrown Tom Hanks and Clint Eastwood. So we like not shoot movies in Oakland, but Oakland gave the movies a lot. Yeah, yeah. Oh, is Clint Eastwood an Oakland fan? Come on, let's go there Wow Wow, I didn't know I didn't know Tom Hanks either look it up We got a guy on Google over there and other side of the window Google it

You know, it's weird. It's not I don't know why I never think of people's coming from Oakland But have you spent time there? I have. I went, I had a friend who rented a house in Oakland when I was like 22 or 23. I decided at some point that I couldn't get my comedy going here in Los Angeles. I somehow decided that Los Angeles is where you end up, but you need to start somewhere. You need some town that you could work at and work out of and some little club somewhere. Yeah, I thought I had this fantasy. And so I packed up my pickup truck. By the way, the chapter I've never heard. When was this? This is probably like 1988 or something, something like that.

1988, somewhere in there. 87, 88. That's right in the middle of carpentry and doing the boxing stuff. I was a carpenter. I had a job as a carpenter. I saved up a little bit of money. I remember looking online trying to find a used shell for my truck because I was going to have to throw all my stuff in the back of the truck and go to Oakland. I didn't want to get shit stolen. So I drove out there. I lived in this guy's spare room in Oakland for a while. How long?

I had a, my goal was somebody knew the woman who owned a club called Rooster Tea Feathers. That was a great story. Outside of Oakland. You're making this shit up. He played there. He played there once. It's a club that's That's like it's somewhere near

And and I and I said, okay, I'm gonna get and they got they got me a spot and I got to the club Stand-up spot. Yeah, was this a Barry Katz kind of booking at that time? I didn't know it was a long time before I'd met Mary Katz. And I went- But you'd been doing improv at that point for a while. I was in an improv troupe. Yeah, I'd been doing improv, and like a little bit of standup. And I went to this Rooster T. Feathers place and bombed. Is that the bomb you told?

I've heard your bomb story. Is that the one where time slows down and you can hear your heart beat? It didn't go well. And then I was driving back over the bridge and it was in a rainstorm. And I thought about driving off the bridge. That was my only thought. And then the next day, I just packed up my shit, put my tail back between my legs and drove back to LA. I was there for like two weeks or so. I can tell you when it was, if you guys tell me The Simpsons, the first, the year The Simpsons came out, I remember sitting at this guy's

crappy house in Oakland and watching The Simpsons and going, eh, it was funny. It probably lasts three seasons or so. 1989 was the year. Oh, that actually makes a little more sense because it feels like you were just getting going in the 86 to 89 kind of zone. Would you have any money in that period? I didn't have any money. So you were actually in Oakland close to the time where the movie set. Oh yeah, what year? The movie set in 87.

Oh yeah. But you could get a real feel. You smelled it, you were there. You saw it. Yeah, it was funky back then. It wasn't, I don't know, feels a little more dangerous now, but it was funkier back then. It was fun. You go out on a Friday night, Saturday night in Oakland, things might happen. Fun. Yeah. And there were old houses, like an old Victorian house that had five people in a room. And you're always 15 minutes away from San Francisco. Yeah. And Rooster T. Feathers is in what

ville? It's in something ville. Roseville or something. Yeah, something. Something ville. What's a ville in the Bay Area? Rooster T. Feathers. Mm-hmm. Well, these are all the films set in Oakland. Oh, really? Uh-oh. They went deep. Yeah fruitvale station Yeah, that's big didn't know they shot the butler out there. Yeah, I didn't not a

Not tons of others that you've heard of snowy day in Oakland is pretty new. I saw that blindspotting is a movie and a TV show Yeah, I don't I haven't heard of all these but anyway, let's not get that Where's rooster T? Sunnyvale, okay Almost a feel as a fail. I said it's a fail not a fail How far is Sunnyvale from Oakland Sunnyville is like tech town now, it's probably less than 30 minute ride 30 minutes You've got to go across some bridge right across probably the dumb bright to cross probably the Dumbarton Bridge. That's the one I've been driving off of. I was really depressed.

If you cross the San Mateo Bridge, you might possibly be able to drive off that one. That's the one that's really low. Oh, it's lower. I should have taken that one back. I spent a week with him doing the press for the movie, and I was like, I hadn't spent a lot of time in the Bay in a while, and from watching the news here, you thought it was, you know, homeless people everywhere, completely destroyed a place you don't want to go. It was beautiful. Everywhere I

went, I didn't really see anything like the news in LA was showing about the Bay. And it was surprising to see how much culture is still going on. And like, tourism was off the charts people everywhere restaurants. It's thriving and if you watch the news here and they show the Bay It's like the worst you don't want to go there Yeah, I've done shows there and I didn't find it to be the doom and the gloom. I mean still worse than here They weren't they say I closed it in and out burger. So that's that's not a good sign. We have a voicemail That you guys want to play. I know not what I did. I don't know that heat Nothing to do with this David wants to buy I wanted to I just wanted to bring back, you know our fun

Ten seasons of celebrity rehab and all the spin-offs and you know The 80 people that I put in that show and I wanted to let you know that one person that we dealt with almost got me killed. What? Yeah and I randomly Carrie Anne Paniche sent me this voicemail that I forgot that she had recorded and I don't know maybe this was season three of Rehab maybe and you knowarrion and Tom Sizemore, God rest them, became very good friends. And somehow they wanted me to become his manager or help him. Tom's. Yes. And this is a message that his manager at the time left me from dealing with the show

and knowing my association with it that he was coming after me. Maybe we should leave it at that because I don't think we should be playing tapes that somebody ... Well, it's a voicemail. I still though, I mean that's... No names, bro. No names. Yeah, I wouldn't do that, but...

If you want to hear it, you don't have to use it. Is it Charles? No. No, okay. No, no. No, it's nobody that we would ever deal with, ever in your life. Mary's pregnant. That's good. Yep. That's good. Mary Care in your life. Mary's pregnant. That's good. Yeah, that's good

Mary Carey's gonna have a child. That's good. It's about Mary Carey. Yeah. Oh who is the porn star? Yeah, sounds like a movie Mary's pregnant Everyone's getting old I I know and you go You know as if you're a drug addict, you know, they don't tend to live much past 50 Do you remember you and me going to save Seth at the hotel in?

All right. So David, a threatening message for how many years? Many. I mean, since since he left it because it was so jarring that this guy felt like he could leave a message. Now, by the way, I never tried to manage Tom Sizemore. My friend who was in the show was a client of mine. She was very close to him.

And they would come and pitch me ideas and we're gonna do this. And somehow that got back to this guy and he decided I'm gonna call this guy and I'm going to hurt him. So it's really funny because this guy, I had a history with this guy prior because one of my other TV shows, Sons of Hollywood, we did an episode with him and he came into the show with C. Thomas Howell and we put him in the show

in this episode with Randy Spelling and me where we were like trying to help launch a movie with them together and he always complained that his name was spelled wrong in the chiron. So every time I would see him, he's like, how can you spell my name wrong in the chiron? You wanna make me look like a fool. So now I think he were then in this celebrity rehab world and you know, all the chaos of that.

And he decided to send me these messages. You're giving us a lot of clues, bro. We're gonna figure out who this is. And he was Tom's manager at the time? Or he put him in the show and thought he was the manager. Yeah. Hey, Terry Anzaldo. You call TimeSize mode one more time, motherfucker,

and that will be a big mistake, okay? I was dead serious about seeing you face to face the other day. You are a fucking scumbag piece of fucking shit. You tried to make this be about me. I don't give a flying fuck about me. I give a fuck about doing good business with good people and you're not a good person. You're a piece of fucking shit. I'm Sicilian, motherfucker. You better understand what that means. Don't fuck with a Sicilian. If I have to take matters into my own hands,

you fucking motherfucking piece of shit, now have the balls to call me back and deal with me man to man so we have an understanding that if you fuck with my office, you fucking cockroach, you are a scumbag, the next time I see you in public, we will go man to man. It gets crazy on you. Man to man. Because you have no idea how much I wanted to drop you in front of everybody, and I will

do that. Do you understand? Keep this on tape all you want. Play it for anybody you want, You fucking piece of fucking shit. There ain't a human being in this town that digs you that matters, okay? You're a fucking scumbag. You've been thrown off of every fucking set. You stay the fuck away from my business, you cocksucker! You understand me? And if you got a problem with this conversation,

come to my office, man to man, and let's settle this man to man. Since you don't have the balls to have proper ethic in our business and you have no respect for what I do for a living. You have no respect for me. So you don't worry about me, then let's settle this man to man. And lady you fucking piece of shit, you understand me? You? 2010? 9? It's almost 20 years ago. They're coming in. Oh, is that on a machine?

It gets crazier, watch. It gets crazier. Pull me! Pull me, you fucking cocksucker! I'll fucking beat your ass the next time I see you! You fucking piece of shit! Play this for your motherfucking lawyer! And I'll tell him what you're doing! You guys sent me fucking emails about harassing a bitch who's harassing now! You motherfucking cocksucking scumbag fucking dickhead! You're nobody! You're fucking nobody! You cocksucker! I think we got the point there. You fucking nobody.

You cuck fucker. So this is what happens when you deal with the talent of the 10 seasons of that show. He's not the only person that feels that way about you. Listen, listen, listen. We either got money together or we didn't. Sad that even in this modern era of LGBT rights and parades and days in it, cocksucker is still the go-to. The insult, which is a little sad because we've not progressed past cocksucker. Really, you want to get something under the LGBT sort of protection, this would be a good one. Yeah, because if you just sort of break it down,

you go, well, if the most you can insult a guy is to call him gay, but we have gay pride this and gay that and gay flags and gay community and all this stuff, but we still haven't gotten past the biggest insult is to call a guy gay. But it's what George Carlin got into with those words. It's the But it's what George Carlin got into with those words. It's it's the the sounds cock sucks cock sucker motherfucker He was saying that's why they're such good insults the It's not the meaning of the word at all Those George Carlin's bit. Well, then you call him a couscous either You're fucking logic But that's not insulting though. I didn't like I didn't get insulted or scared at all.

No, I I messaging. I do like it when people become unhinged. I even had the hardest I've ever heard dudes laugh is I was many a million years ago. I was playing some pickup football game or something at the Sun Valley High School and people were feuding. These guys wanted to take over a softball field and the other team didn't want to leave. The woman was yelling at the guys and the guys were yelling, get off the diamond. She started getting really heated.

At some point, she was yelling at them and she just yelled like a 40 year old woman she yelled suck my cock and they all stopped and they started laughing real hard but even a woman can try to insult a dude by making him gay by yelling suck my cock which I guess now you could do with a woman right it suddenly has meaning but back then everyone stopped right in the middle and the guys just started laughing at her. Yeah, it'll never go out of style.

Yes, go ahead. I have a question before we wrap this up. You were around that whole world that Shock G was in. I wonder what your thoughts were about him, because I got to meet him a few times. Well, you know, Shock G gave Tupac his first look in music. We were really close. I remember he came from the East Coast, and he said he literally traveled,

hustling his way across the country. He wanted to get to the Bay Area, to Oakland. He was calling him, and I bought a keyboard from him. He was working at a music store in San Leandro right next to the city right next to Oakland. And we've just been friends ever since. He told me, he said, I'm a musician and you know I'm going to make it. He was very adamant about that. I just, I, my, I think we got robbed of him by his alcoholism and I thought he was just a really Special kind of genius, right? Am I seeing that right? Yeah, he really was

extraordinary fan of George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic and what he was doing with digital underground was he was pretty much Interpreting a new version, but he could turn it into anything he imagined But just his skills on the piano. He was a great piano player, a great music producer. His concepts for songs were amazing. I mean, listen to the digital underground music now. It sounds good right now. It sounds good and it was just, I don't know, he could do anything he wanted no matter how goofy or how whatever and make it great music. I think he's one of those entertainers who once he got in the door he took the eccentric route of you know sort of being kind of because he could reclusive and only one to pop out when

it was time to be the entertainer when I'm not being the entertainer kind of leave me in my world he was that kind of guy I heard at one point he was lit he went back to New York and he was living somewhere where you had to like climb a mountain or something to get to the house like it was there were no conventional stairs or driveways you had to like do a mountain or something to get to the house like it was there were no conventional stairs or driveways You had to like do some sort of hike It was but he was a lot of our geniuses have that thing where they're like I can only be the genius when you leave me alone

Give it to you know the Miles Davis kind of thing. I give it to you when I give it to you But leave me alone outside of that When did he pass away? Outside of that. When did he pass away? I've never seen so many drink as much as he did in front of me I was like, oh jeez, this isn't gonna go well and I tried and he's like, yeah My mom's on me all the time, but and I thought and then I found I Worry you that he was drinking that radio like him. I'd love a couple times. Oh And he just brought he brought sky vodka. I remember that was a blue bottle of vodka.

I've never gotten drunk with him. We literally we were working in the studio and we'd be level-headed. I've never seen that. I'm sure he could do that. I haven't seen the rock star side of him. I've seen him as a musician focus. We're going to make a really good song. By the way he wasn't out of control drunk in the sense that he was unpleasant to deal with at all. He was kind of great to deal with but he was he was aware that aware that something's going to happen. Well, his member, his group member, Money B, carries on the legacy of the group. They still do Digital Underground. He has a guy that calls himself Young Hump. And I think Young Hump is his son.
