Starting point is 00:03:10 Sacramento was a lot of fun, and I always, I've been having a great time doing this lately, excuse me I gotta be honest with you guys for years I would go out and I'd have a miserable time there was a job

Starting point is 00:03:35 I think that happens with everything Like people I mean I work in TV And people think it's amazing And it ain't looking back If I had seen it three years ago I'd be like Oh shit that's amazing
Starting point is 00:03:44 but everything I think turns into a job at some point. Well, you don't want it to turn into a job. Exactly, yeah. That's what the thing is. You never want what you love to turn into a job, and turn into a job, even going on the set. Anything I was doing turned into a job, now I'm doing it because you guys called me out.
Starting point is 00:04:02 That's what I feel like. These people on Twitter have called me out with the podcast. So now I got to keep on my toes. I got to write every day. You know, on Mondays, I make my delivery to Omar for the book, you know, whether it's a paragraph or a fucking chapter when I get out of here, I'm going to go home and clear up the paragraph and send it to them. And it's just
Starting point is 00:04:18 amazing. You can stand up and meet in these people and smoking dope for you, but Sacramento is definitely off the chain. So many fucking people went, it's just amazing. Anthony Johnson, the black dude. I mean, I just saw you know, and it's like a family. We're building a little family all over the fucking country. And it really is a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:04:37 And I'm really working on my passport. I can't really wait to go to England, the UK, and Ireland and fucking the flying Jew. We're going to taking this fucking part of Israel. Oh shit. Fuck, yeah. Blow up the cliff and we'll shoot a little special down at that cave, the religious cave down there.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Jesus. Put a $100 dollar bill and do 10 minutes. You follow me? That's my dream to shoot a fucking 10 minute special, my little cave. Oh, God. People would have heart attacks in Israel if they saw you. No, they wouldn't. They love all that.
Starting point is 00:05:04 No, they love it. But I was saying, like, just... They love it. They fucking love it. What's going on? Where's I want to be around? It's Monday morning. I play some fucking music.

And it's all over. You're going to be back-sling him dick like a savage. Got to talk about something off the bat. I saw something like after Sacramento Thursday night. I do a show, you know, and it's always when you have to do radio next day.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Okay. I told you. I get up at 4.45 because I don't have to get up. Yeah. Do you understand me? I don't come to do the podcast. We don't have a boss. It's when I have something to do that I can't fall asleep.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I know that you people go through that. When you have to be somewhere, I can't fall asleep. Do you get nervous? Something happens to me. So when I don't have to be somewhere, I can go to bed at fucking nine and get up at four, like nothing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:13 But if I got to get up at six, I'll sleep, you know what I'm saying? Like very, today I fucking couldn't wake up. I was wiped out. I ate a hash cookie. I ate a hash lollipop when I was in Sacramento. Some guy showed up with a fucking bag of these. They were amazing. Munchies, edibles.
Starting point is 00:07:28 If you see them, fucking get them. They're made with bubble hash. And you could feel it because bubble hash stays with you. It's like taking like a little pain pill for your body. Like if you had sores, I've been doing that epileptical machine. I fucking love it, Lee. I fucking love it. It beats the fuck out of you up.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Like, you get sore. I had never really done it before and I do it like in 20 million increments. Because you're moving your whole body. Yeah, everything hurts. But I took the hash bubble fucking lollipop. But I ate one last night when I was answering back to email. And I got fucked up when I passed out. This morning it was just I had to drink two cups of coffee
Starting point is 00:08:02 and had to stay in the show next to 10 minutes. That's why I was running late. But I want to talk about something that. Thursday I went back to the room, DiAgostina. I went to Walmart and I got waters and shit like that. I went back to my room and I was going through stuff. and I put something on that I never watch ESPN. I'm not a big ESPN guy.
Starting point is 00:08:19 You know, it's okay. It's not like I was there in the beginning when I used to watch it now. And they were shown a movie called, it was 30-30, which they're all fucking classic. Oh, yeah. But this one was called Survive in Advance. Is that what you called me about last night? Yeah, it was the Jim Valvano story. You never heard the speech or nothing?
Starting point is 00:08:38 You've never seen any of that shit, Lee? In recent years, since I've come to L.A., they, when he passed away, they had a big, like the Jimmy V. Cancer thing. Right, right. So I've heard of him, but I don't really know the story. Okay. In 83, I'm a street guy straight up. I'm out of high school.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I'm working at Boulevard Hardware and Fairview. I get pinched in my first check. I stole some checks, and I gave him to a buddy. He got caught with him and ratted me out. And they came and arrested me, and I lost my job. But when I was working there one day, this is the fucking weirdest thing. I was going to go see Pat Benetton.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Pat Benettontar was on tour, supporting the one fucking album after promises in the dark and all that shit. And I went to the metal hands in the fucking snow to get these tickets. And as I walk in, I hear this commotion, and it's all these black dudes and a white dude that's North Carolina State. They were playing somewhere in that area for some Christmas tournament. And I was walking in to get tickets. And I just happened to see them and they just came out of practice. And something, they stuck out in my fucking head. they stuck out in my head
Starting point is 00:09:44 something about them I didn't know what it was At that time my life I was doing a lot of fucking gambling I was doing a lot of drugs But I was gambling to make a living Which is never fucking good You're gonna lose
Starting point is 00:09:55 Oh yeah Like I actually thought in my head That I was smart and everybody else And I was gonna bet You know 3, 400 a week And fucking win So every week I was minus 200 And I had to do some criminal activity
Starting point is 00:10:05 That's where all those stories go back When I go to Boulevard East And mug the fucking perverts And we were just doing crazy shit So it just so happened that the Redskins, I think, won the Super Bowl that year. Okay. In January, they beat the Miami Dolphins to kill the bees. I think that's the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Don't quote me on this. And they paid me that day. I won $800. And I went into the city, and I went to 174th Street. They used to have a Thai chocolate, Thai wheat thing there, this little old man. And I would go in and buy chocolate Thai wheat. Okay. I had a bunch of money.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I usually bought 20s and 10. This time I had 8. $800. That was big for me. So I went in and bought a quarter-round. It was freezing. It was January 21st. The Super Bowl was usually January 20th in those days. January 28th. It was fucking freezing in New York. I asked, oh, God, do you mind if I roll a joint in here?
Starting point is 00:10:55 Because it's fucking cold. My plan was to go outside, smoke the fucking joint, walk down to like 163rd over the Broadway and take the train downtown and take the bus over back to the North Bergen. Okay. To report authority. So I go in there, I roll the fucking. The joint of weeds tremendous.
Starting point is 00:11:12 It's chocolate tie weed. They don't even make that shit no more. They have it down like in Miami. It's called Lamb's Bread from Jamaica. And I fucking go outside and I roll this fucking bone and it's windy out. So I put the joint in the corner. You know, you put something in the corner and spark it. And I feel a gun to my head and it's a fucking mailman dressed up undercover.
Starting point is 00:11:31 And he goes, get them on the floor. And he puts handcuffs on me. Within minutes, they pull up with these cars and they roll me over. And they go in my pocket. I got fucking $700 in my pocket. They get the weed out there. asked me my name. In those days, I didn't carry a fucking ID. There was no ID. The ID isn't me. You want my name?
Starting point is 00:11:46 Fucking guess it, cuck, sucker! Like Jeopardy! So, uh, they threw me and fucking, uh, the thing. They asked me for my name. I told him to chute. They did like an instant fingerprint in those days. This is 19, fucking 83, and they had that shit. I had to wait like an hour for the results. They just held me in like a paddy wagon. And they said, you didn't lie. They took some of the weed and threw it on the floor and gave me a ticket. And they got me for possession and something else.
Starting point is 00:12:11 It was just a ticket in New York. It was 1983. And it was 83 because they put me on six months probation. I fucking, I had to go to Mike Court. Okay. So from January, which after football season, to March, it's basketball. It's college basketball, April. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:29 It's college basketball all the way. So I didn't know the whole story. These guys were winning. While I'm doing all my criminal activity, North Carolina is fucking winning, winning, winning, winning, and finally going to play Houston, Houston, five slam a jammer with Clyde, Jackson and Akeem, the Olajuwon. These motherfuckers were nuts. This was like watching a college, a pro basketball team.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Everybody slammed dunk. They had the best center in the fucking game at the time. Best Senate in the fucking game. Who? His name was Akeem, Elijah. He was like number five, and he was in college. It was Moses, you know, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. And this guy was up there with the best centers,
Starting point is 00:13:03 and he was in fucking college. And they're playing North Carolina State, this fucking team that's got nothing. They're a bunch of short guys, Thirl Bailey. and they fucking North Carolina Houston's given nine and a half That's how big of a point spread
Starting point is 00:13:15 Nobody bet The line started at 8 They went to 9 a half Nobody bet North Carolina State Nobody, you understand me It was that much Like you didn't see it in your future It was not gonna be
Starting point is 00:13:26 In those days There wasn't sports center and shit like at bars So you had to call sports phone Cost you 35 fucking cents So you had to walk around with change in your pocket Every time you seen a pay phone And it would update it every 15 fucking a minute. So sometimes if you call back, you got the same
Starting point is 00:13:42 goddamn scores. A lot of people don't know about this shit. This is waiting for the fucking internet. This is how old I go. You got to call up and they slow down tonight's results in the third quarter to Nixon Boston Celtics, 68, 64. You would die. You would wait on the fucking phone. And I called in the first score
Starting point is 00:13:58 I get at halftime. They're beating them outright. Houston or North Carolina? North Carolina is beating Houston outright. Getting eight points. Beating them out right. Nine and a half points is beating them. Like Baye is something like that. Anyway, I get back to Jersey, I run down and says, I bet fucking Houston. This
Starting point is 00:14:14 is when I was out there hustling, the gangbanging whatever the fuck you want to call it, selling Coke and robbing people. I bet Houston giving nine points, and they fucking lost North Carolina. North Carolina was this dream team. Just come from behind. The best player they had
Starting point is 00:14:29 got hurt. So Thursday night after the fucking show, I go back to my hotel room, I'm smoking a few numbers, I got a diet fucking Coke, I'm sitting there eating fucking strawberries. I bought And this thing is on And it's called Advance and what would I tell you it was called?
Starting point is 00:14:44 I'll have to look at it. Succeed in advance or something like that. Okay. And basically it was about Jim Valvano. He opens up with that when he first took over the team he would do a practice once a week where he would cut down the nets
Starting point is 00:14:57 practice winning the championship. He would cut down the nets. Oh shit. So these guys like after a while at first it seemed redundant but after a while we started to have fun doing it. And we started to believe.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Yeah. And all Valvedo did with these guys was what we do here at the church or what's happening now is tell you, bro, that all you need to do is believe. That's it. If you look at yourself, close your eyes and go, you know what? I'm going to go in there and start selling cocks on the mail. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:31 I'm going to go on the fucking line and make YouTube videos of me yelling on a screen with a cock in my hands. I'm going to sell fucking fake cocks in the mail. Whatever the fuck you decide to do. You have to believe it first. You have to believe it's going to fucking happen. And that's what he instilled on him. And he's got a speech on ESPN that's a famous speech today.
Starting point is 00:15:48 I never, when he did the speech in whatever year, I could lie to you and tell you I watched it. It was emotional. I never saw it. I was subscribed to Reader's Digest in 94 because of the jokes they had in there. Remember the little jokes that you don't read his digest is for old people? I've read it. But I like that because you go to old people's house and it's interesting.
Starting point is 00:16:06 So I would subscribe to Reader's Digest and send my stupid jokes. and I never told nobody else. I'm telling you people on the podcast for the first time. And my jokes never made it, but they always have interesting stories in Readers Digest, and I read this story. One of the things, at one time in my life, and I've told you guys this,
Starting point is 00:16:20 I was prepared to kill my ex-wife and the boyfriend because of what they did to me with the daughter. Yeah. And I remember a quote that he had said in that in that speech that always stuck with me. This is why I was prepared to go to prison as a man. He goes that no matter what they do to you, they can't take away.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Cancer can't take away your soul, your heart. art or your brain, that that's what lives on forever. Yeah, I have it. Do you want me to play? It's like a 10-minute thing. Do you want to not do it? Yeah, fucking play it. We got some calls. We got just, we won't play the whole thing, just a couple minutes of it. It's brilliant. It's a brilliant fucking speech. So someone has to help him walk up the stage right now because he's so depleted? Bro, he blows it the fuck up. He blows it up. People have watched it. We'll just listen to a few words, whatever he's got.
Starting point is 00:17:09 to say but I guess I didn't watch the speech live I want the lowest I've ever seen Dick Vidal since the owner of the Detroit Pistons called him in and told him he should go into broadcasting I can't tell you what an honor it is to even be mentioned the same breath with an author Ash this is something I certainly will treasure forever but as as was sent on the tape I and I also also I don't have one of those things going to cue cards. So I'm going to speak longer than anybody else has spoken tonight. That's the way it goes.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Should I skip forward a few minutes? Time is very precious to me. I don't know how much I have left, and I have some things that I would like to say. Hopefully, at the end, I'll have something that will be important to other people, too. But I can't help it. Now I'm fighting cancer, everybody knows that. And people ask me all the time about how you go through your life and how is your day. And nothing has changed for me, as Dick said.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I'm a very emotional, passionate man. I can't help it. That's being the son of Rocco and Angelina Valvano. That you comes with the territory. Right? We hug, we kiss, we love. And when people say to me, how do you get through life or each day is the same thing? To me, there are three things we all should do every day.
Starting point is 00:18:34 We do this every day of our life. You're going to have what a wonderful number one is laugh you should laugh every day Number two is think you should spend some time in thought That's what I'm going to smoke dope is you should have your emotions moved to tears Think about it if you laugh you think and you cry I've never heard this That's a full day that's a heck of a day you go seven days a week there you go motherfuckers that's it special And so we'll laugh together we think together and we fucking that's it.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I can't tell you that you have to listen to this to believe it. He quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson. He says that nothing happens without enthusiasm. That's why I get up in the mornings and I'm fucking excited and listen man, anybody that's rich could get up and have a great
Starting point is 00:19:24 fucking face on. It's the motherfuckers like us that have to get up, you know, and fight it out. Those are the motherfuckers that are really happy.

We all care for you at the church what's happening now. And I know I can see it in your eyes when you make the video. You're like, I can't wait to get a double whopper. I never said that. You didn't say it.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I could see it in your fucking eyeballs. It don't take a swami to fucking tell you what you're thinking about. You know what I'm thinking. What's the first thing you're going to eat? The first thing I'm going to get is a barbecue chicken salad at California Pizza Kitchen. Oh, Jesus fucking Christ. What? That's what you're giving up your sobriety for?
Starting point is 00:24:44 It's a salad. California, a barbecue chicken salad from fucking salad. That's the worst food. in North America. What's all with that? Who owns that shit? It's a division of McDonald's. It's like that other fucking Mexican place
Starting point is 00:24:57 to all these fucking wastes. Chipotle. Yeah, jumping up and down. That's McDonald's beef. I have to get a salad. That's somebody's cat. That's somebody's fucking cat. No salad.
Starting point is 00:25:06 You know what the salad is? What? A salad. Not a barbecue chicken salad. I can't put a little chicken on? No, not a barbecue chicken from whatever. They put sugar in their shit. Did you see the other day
Starting point is 00:25:17 that there was an article of a McDonald's salad? Has his money calories or his money. Did you see that? Oh, yeah, yeah, with the dressing. Don't eat the salad. That's not a salad, though. There's no barbecue. Nobody fucking ever had a barbecue.
Starting point is 00:25:28 It's like barbecue chicken pizza. Who fucking invented that? Oh, I don't want to eat that. Some white dude from fucking Cova City. I ain't doing that shit. I ain't going for it. That's what you're giving up. Listen, if you're going to cheat on your wife,
Starting point is 00:25:40 you're going to cheat on a with a chick who's 21 and's got that butterskin. Her pussy smells like fucking flowers and their assholes like fucking fireworks. Like firecrackers. and that asshole smells like gunpowder. You follow me? You're going to go for the best. So, again, what's the first thing you're going to eat, Lee? Well, I have to start off with a super salad.
Starting point is 00:25:58 So I was going to start off like a small... How about you go to Big Tonys, right down the corner on Cold Water and Riverside, right there by Rouse? Yeah. And you get the chicken breast nice on the grill, and they give you a nice spinach salad with a lemon vinaigrette. You follow me with nice, fresh tomatoes? You put some salt and pepper on those fucking tomatoes? Yeah. You follow me? $8.
Starting point is 00:26:20 You want to give that up for California Pizza Kitchen. It's a salad. It's not a salad. It's a sweet salad with sugar. This is what I'm saying. This is what they're going to tell you at Weight Watchers. When you look at that book and see how many points, so that's not a salad. This is what we're discussing.
Starting point is 00:26:35 This is what we're saying. Look at you. You're like, what I make you chicken. What's in it? I'll tell you in a second. I've got a call coming in. Oh, shit. Who's this on the phone?
Starting point is 00:26:46 What do you say? Oh, shit. It's my main man The fucking flying Puerto Rican Mick Benacourt What's happening, beautiful? Don't deny my Irishness I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear
Starting point is 00:26:56 It's around St. Patty's time It's funny, Mick, the other day Well, I told you about a year ago I was in a hotel room And I watched the Law & Order SVU That you had written, A line directed,
Starting point is 00:27:08 Or whatever the fuck you had done In your name It was one of the best things I've ever seen on television About them The Army chick that left the thing And one of the soldiers came back
Starting point is 00:27:17 And they thought it was ten. that killed the chick. It was fucking amazing. And the other day I'm on a line, and I see that, what's her name? Who does the podcast with Felicia? Danny Stewart wrote that she was home sick. Did you see that tweet that she wrote?
Starting point is 00:27:32 I was homesick, and I was watching Law & Order, fucking Mick Benincourt's a bad motherfucker. So I said, we've got to get Mick back on the podcast. How are you doing, but I know you don't have that much time today. How are you? I'm good, man. I'm happy to be up this early and happy to pop on the podcast. Yes and say hello.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Are you an early guy? You have children, so you got to be up early, correct? Yeah, you know what? They're actually going out of town. They're going to Chicago for a week for Easter, so I'm going to miss the bandinos for a little bit, but a week to get the house back in order. My wife is leaving Thursday also.
Starting point is 00:28:04 I have free reign for a fucking week, too. Let's go get some steaks. Absolutely. See, we're going to go get some steaks. See what I'm saying? Nobody said a salad from California fucking pizza kitchen. The fuck is wrong with these kids? That's not a salad.
Starting point is 00:28:18 That's the only. place that had Thai fucking barbecue pizza. Who the fuck put together, Thai, there's not a Guinea and fucking Sicily that's going. Who fucking invented Thai barbecue pizza with pineapple and ranch dressing on it? And these white kids are jumping up and fucking down,
Starting point is 00:28:32 you cock suckers. Get it together. I think that pizza has actually killed more Italians. Oh, my God. Italians just throw themselves off the fucking cliffs of the Amalfi Coast. Let me tell you some. I've got... You know when you fly southwest of the L.A.X You go downstairs, they have the Jamba
Starting point is 00:28:48 juice or one of those fucking juices and that's what they got, California pizza. And every time I would go there and I meet Joe, he'd always be eating that shit. And one day I tasted that pizza and I couldn't believe how fucking bad it was and how all these fucking waspy motherfuckers are standing around
Starting point is 00:29:04 talking about their calendars and what they're going to do on their iPhones. I felt like machine gunning all these motherfuckers because that's the best thing you can do with these dumb fucks, California Pizza Kitchen your nasty motherfuckers. I wouldn't want to smell your asshole the next day. Anyway, brother, did you see that thing with Jim Valvano on ESPN?
Starting point is 00:29:26 Did you happen to watch that? Oh, yeah, the 30 for 30. Yeah, the North Carolina State. Yeah, when he was talking about that, he'd make him cut the nets down once a week to practice. And they asked Der Bailey, you know, what did you think about? He goes, it was kind of redundant, but after a while, we enjoyed it, and you start believing that you could, this is going to happen, you know. And we were talking about belief, and that story.
Starting point is 00:29:48 you told me at coffee one day about how you got into writing. I left there and my head blew up, but I knew it was possible because we always look at things and we go, we can never reach for that and all of a sudden the situation happens and there we are. Tell the story, Nick, for me, so these motherfuckers know.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Well, I got the very powerful 30 by 32 where he said his father's policing him where he said, my bag's a pack, my bags are packed, and he just, you know, then he believed that he could actually win the NCAA championship. I thought it was amazing. But I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:30:19 You know, you get the self-doubt in you. I don't know if it's a byproduct of real city Catholicism or what, you know, you and I both came from kind of fucked-up houses. And you get the self-doubt, and I was out here. I was broke. I had no money. I knew I had something. I knew I could do something for you a writer. I've been writing since second grade.
Starting point is 00:30:38 My own shit, you know, notebooks. I go to the Walgreens and I buy a spy. Remember the spiral notebooks with the metal shit running down the side? Fuck, yeah. Yeah, so I'd write in that, but I didn't know a writer. You know, I didn't know what it meant to be a writer or how you would even go about it. And so being out here, you see guys write for TV, you realize that scripts are written. And my agent at the time said, you have to write a spec script.
Starting point is 00:31:04 And I said, well, what is that? She said, it's an episode of television. So you pick an episode of TV, like Law & Order or whatever you want. If it's a comedy, write a comedy, if it's a drama, right a drama. So, well, what's an edgy drama? goes the shield. So I said, okay, I'll write one of those. And at the time, I had never seen an episode of the Shield. So I went over to Frye and I bought the DVD set of the last season of the Shield and I watched the last three episodes. And I thought, how am I going to, I
Starting point is 00:31:34 couldn't get a hold of the actual Shield script. But then in the very end of the DVD thing, was a DVD special feature that said in the writer's room. So I click on that and there's guy Sean Ryan who created the show. He's sitting in the writer's room, but behind him, there's a giant court board with index card. And I go, what the fuck is that? And it said, I think it's about episode seven. It said teaser on the card on the top of the board.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Teaser, act one, act two all the way, and then it had cards underneath it. So I hit pause on the DVD player, and I look, and I realized that that's how he had broken out an episode. So when I got a legal pad, and I drew something. squares on the legal pad, and I numbered the cards based on the what was on the TV, and I just wrote my episode in that format. Because, you know, at that time I was working at Starbucks. I didn't have time for school.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I had a two-year-old son, and I was on the grind. And I'm like, you know what? If they're not going to fucking let me in, I'm going to find a way it. I'm not giving up. I'll tell you, Joe, I'm not fucking given up. They're going to have to kill me because I'm going after it. That's what I did. I bought a $14 DVD box at a prize,
Starting point is 00:32:50 and I run an episode of television, and that's how I got hired on... Actually, that's the script that got me hired on Law and Order SB. So there you fucking have it, cock suckers. When you're scared of doing something, Mick Benacourt comes to the fucking rescue, you understand me? I love that story. You gotta go at it.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Mick, when you told me that, I went home, and I couldn't put my... And it's funny because the other day I was... You also came on a movie this year, and you told me that fucking story. I couldn't believe that either. Yeah, I did a little bit. He's on Gangster Squad, which was
Starting point is 00:33:19 it was such a great experience. It's amazing why you're sitting there. Your head's blowing up, correct? It's incredible because, you know, when guys move out, you know, like I try to help. I was a teamster back in Chicago. When guys come out that are particularly come from a blue collar background or a very poor background,
Starting point is 00:33:38 those are my guys. I'm always going to meet you. I'm always going to get coffee with you, and I'm always going to help you. Guaranteed 100% of the time. And you're going to deal with fear. You're going to deal with self-doubt. You're going to deal with a weird form of envy.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Because like you said, with California Pizza Kitchen, none of it's going to make sense. So how do you move forward? Well, what's in my control? What can I do? Well, I can go out and I can buy a DVDs at fries. How can I move my pieces forward? I go out, I don't have enough for a computer.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Well, go buy a fucking notebook and buy a pen. Keep writing. You want to be an actor? Go out and act. Anything you can act in. Doesn't matter. Shitty plays, horrible short film. There's people doing shit.
Starting point is 00:34:17 become a part of it. Get out of your head, out of your head and inaction. Don't fuck around and don't listen to yourself. Go after your dream, but it requires work. Go talk. Just work. You know, it's funny, Mick, I was sitting waiting for the plane yesterday, and I was going through my bag, a little travel bag,
Starting point is 00:34:34 and I found sides from some TV show I had done, you know, kicking it. It's a kid show. Oh, yeah. And I was sitting there, Nick, and I'm thinking to myself, that's fucking amazing, that. And what led to that way, I was throwing a buddy in my at the airport.
Starting point is 00:34:49 He called me from Jersey, and he said he saw me in some movie or something of his friends on some DVD, and he goes, you know, it's so weird that you always like movies. Since I came from Cuba, Nick, when you can't speak the language, that's how we learned to speak.
Starting point is 00:35:03 A lot of people don't know that. I learned to fucking speak the language by watching movies and acting out Dick Van Dyke. That's who I wanted to be, Nick. Mick, Dick Van Dyke. Can you believe that? In 1968, I thought Dick Van Dyke was fucking God. I'd watch him.
Starting point is 00:35:17 He's still the shit. He's still the fucking shit. And years later, I ended up doing a movie with him, and I couldn't look at him. I kept crying. And he asked me, what was it matter? Did I have a loss in the family? I go, no, I can't look at you because it reminds me coming from Cuba and being a little boy and watching your TV and you were everything to me. So it's weird that I'm in this business now, Mick.
Starting point is 00:35:38 I actually get booked in this business. And you know what's weird? In 87, right before I got locked up, I had a roommate who had a friend out here. You know those people in Chicago that you meet that have a friend out here? They're a cameraman on the show. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:53 You think that's going to be a magic for me in the show business. Yeah, like that guy's going to get me, and he's going to tape me, and one of his friends is going to see me at a bar, and I'm going to fucking be a TV guy. And I remember actually calling him up and going to coffee with him. He lived, like, in Boulder somewhere,
Starting point is 00:36:08 but he would come out for six months and shoot, like, some stupid fucking show, and him, like, you know, telling me all this shit, you have to go to action class, and coming out. out here and getting on a movie and seeing that in reality how hard it was was really how easy it was it's very easy to get on a movie but back then i thought it was like going to the
Starting point is 00:36:28 fucking moon mick yeah like if i see a weird i think some people possess talent and the talent will open a door but they'll kick you out if the discipline isn't there like if you like and of course there's always exceptions to the rule and i think those exceptions are what bring more people here than anything to LA, but the talent needs discipline. If the discipline isn't there, those are the guys you watch fade away.
Starting point is 00:36:56 They hit a little bit. They'll do a movie, tiny part, and then that's it, because they don't have the discipline to take the ride on the rocks, you know? Because you're going to get crashed on the rocks. Oh, fuck yeah. That's the journey. That's the whole fucking patois. How do you deal with failure? Do you fucking cut and run,
Starting point is 00:37:13 or do you man up, learn from it, stand back up, just yourself clock and go, all right, round two. For my first eight years, I dealt with it with a fucking grandma blow and a gallon of water and a couple joints. Now, I just inhale it on a solo, like a doctor.
Starting point is 00:37:29 It's like walking around with no undies on. Commando. Fuck, you don't want to suck my dick, that's fine. I'll jerk off in the fucking corner. That's science. But you're bringing science to get. That's a very scientific approach. What are you going to do? Well, law percentages. Listen, man, I read that article about your boy. What's the
Starting point is 00:37:46 actor that was really big. He did the movie Walking Alone. He did like Fast and Furious. Remember women liked him? He was hot. Oh, Paul Walker? No, the other guy opposite him. He played the cop. Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel said something once. He goes, when I got here, I moved here with eight buddies.
Starting point is 00:38:03 And after three years, I was down to five buddies. And after five years, I was down to two buddies. And after eight years, I was down to one buddy. And after ten years, I got my, I fucking made it. Yeah. And nobody was left. And sometimes I believe just sticking it out.
Starting point is 00:38:19 You know, and success isn't being fucking rich or having a limo or having some Chinese guy in a rickshaw drive you around town. That's what these fucking people. Success for guys like you and me is just being here, Mick. Because we know where we were at one time in our lives. We know how dark it can get. We know that... Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:38:36 We know that fuck you and your motherfucker. I'll get a gun right now and I'm making it happen on it daily. You and I both know that that's always in the quarter of our hearts that I could still go down, get a fucking gun in some new chucks, and I can make it happen, Doug. Well, that was the hardest thing when I was up against the wall when my son was two, and, you know, I didn't move out here to throw out garbage bags of coffee grind at Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:39:02 You know, that wasn't my dream scenario, and my mind started to go to that dark place, and I thought, there's kids involved now. I'm not going to fuck around. I'm going to look at my son and go, I know you're hungry, but Dad wants to be an actor. Like I can't That's not who I am
Starting point is 00:39:17 And that's where it got hard And that's where it got dark And it was You know I was right on that precipice And where you're going to go One way or the other And I just
Starting point is 00:39:26 I took the high road And I stayed out of trouble And things changed You know Because if I go down that road It's At this age I can't come back
Starting point is 00:39:36 I mean I'm going to do that You know My mother wants to jail For robbing a bank I don't have fucking time for that I can't do that to my kids You know

It's funny when I got in here today, Lee said that we got a lot of great comments on the Conahune podcast. Yeah. And let's get something straight, people. I've had criminals on here.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I was going to have a gangstown today, Kenji. And he couldn't make a... today so we had to switch him around i've had gangsters on here i've had touts on here you know i've had comedians on here the people that you react to the most for some reason the health people and number two anybody who talks about fucking fear you people go bananas i got 30 emails i got 22 emails on my facebook i got you know another 10 tweets about it 16 fucking emails on my tweet people were all fucking scared okay and we're all in this together you have nothing to be scared about Life doesn't have a gun.
Starting point is 00:42:13 People have guns. Life doesn't have a gun. Life's not going to fucking kill you or shoot you for fucking trying. Seriously. I get anxiety out the ass. Lee, you get anxiety sometimes? All the time. Thinking about shit.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Jesus Christ, when I was Lee's age, I had ulcers, and I would shit, and then the little blood would drip out. Not come out on this shit like a wallpaper, like a poster on the wall, but it would drip from my ulcer. And they put me on some medication that was I was thinking too much. Don't think about it. fucking nothing you want to be on fucking TV go for it you want to sew clothes and be a men's designer go for it but you want to fucking lay carpet it's your passion you know my passion is Lee fuck all this stand up and talking to people I want to coach I want to coach kids I want to be around kids you know what my other passion was Lee I want to
Starting point is 00:43:00 be a bricklayer you want that was a passion oh fucking still till this day I look at bricks and I go what the fuck am I doing with my life I want to be a brick me Lee I was fucking scared. This shit I wasn't scared for because it came natural to me. I was scared. I would get really good as a hard carry and stop. You know what else I like? I loved being an electrician.
Starting point is 00:43:22 I loved wiring the fucking boards from the pole. I loved all that shitly. But I was scared because I knew I would fuck it up or I'd burn somebody's house down. Fear stopped me from so many fucking things. By the time I got into comedy, I wasn't scared anymore. I knew one thing about comedy. By the time I'd gotten into comedy,
Starting point is 00:43:40 to comedy at 28, I knew one thing about life at that point. I always thought that everything came easier. You'd do something for two weeks and boom. Yeah. That's how I thought. I ain't going to lie to nobody. When I got into comedy, I knew one thing. I knew that.
Starting point is 00:43:53 I didn't want to go back to prison. So I knew that part of my life. I didn't want to do deep crime. And I knew that if I got into comedy, I had to work at it because this was my last chance. I knew that when I was 28 years old. I was 28. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:06 I was 28. People are confused at 22. At 24 right now, you're an editor, but it's not really what you want to do. You know, you'd do it for a living, and you'd make it fun, and you'd make it work for you, but you want to do other things than you're doing it. But fear would stop some people. It's crazy how you were more scared of being an electrician than being a comedian, because the podcast on Wednesday is a little different because I'm not doing it as a stand-up,
Starting point is 00:44:31 but being a stand-up in front of people terrifies me. I could never do that. Well, you know, like I said to you, I remember months ago you came to me. I want to do it. I said, Lee, I want you to get your chops up. And Lee, you've really got your chops up on this podcast. It's hard to believe you're an editor. You're usually looking at the computer sitting there like a fucking momo,
Starting point is 00:44:49 cutting, and going back and cutting and going back in your own. And what amazzing me about you is you don't even get high and do it. Oh, yeah. So me to do that type of shit, I got to smoke 55 joints just to sit there and go back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. It's a fucking nightmare. But somebody's got to do it, but please, people. You know, I love it that.
Starting point is 00:45:07 You guys react to the, I talked about fear one time on a podcast. They made videos about it. So that tells me that people are fucking scared. And you know what? Like I said, I was so scared. I didn't do shit until I was 28. I was hiding at college, selling fucking cars.
Starting point is 00:45:23 And I wouldn't even do that correctly. I was always fought to fit on the board. And between you and me, I was the best salesman on that fucking floor. Yeah. If I was me. But I was always scared. I was always scared to reach because deep in my heart, I remember it was a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Well, eventually you got to find. I can talk yourself out of that shit and just go for it. So if you're scared, you know what? We're all fucking scared. Just do me a favor and go. What you got to musically? What do you got from here? You ain't smoking dope.
Starting point is 00:45:49 You ain't doing with your roommate. She ain't coming in together, bro. People want to see him on the show. We're up to the camera here. She can come in and dance in the morning for us. One quick fucking song. And then we're off and running. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Oh, fuck. Lee. You took him to be deep with this one. I'm going to fucking. Oh, shit. It's Monday. Watch that pussy. Motherfuckers.
