["Russell Peters, Whenever He Sees Me"] I'm a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a

little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a She is, yeah. Maybe that's what it is. It's not that you have to. No, it's before. His wife's Asian. You absorb the, I mean, it's through the juice. But it was before. Maybe it's through the puss juice. Oh God. Sorry, sorry, I'm talking about you. Not that your wife has that.

I swear to you, like, you look completely Asian to me. I swear to God. Talk more, Kev, talk more into the mic. Oh, okay, okay, hello. No, I swear to God, like, ever since, I don't know, probably in my teens, like where I'm from, there's a lot of indigenous people.

A lot of people from the- Here we go. No, no, no, just from the Ojibwe- I'm 30% native. Are you one of those? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I swear to God. I'm 23 and that's what they told me. I did 23 and me thinking that I was gonna be that guy

and I'm not, I'm not, I'm just like a giant French Canadian. That's all I know. That's me. I've always known you as a giant French Canadian. That's all I have. That's what you look like to me. I thought that's what I was, I really did. His mom, well he did 23 and me and found out

that he was not full Korean, that he was in fact 10% Japanese, which means that his mom was double that. And I had to break the news to her in Hawaii, and remember she like cried? She cried, yeah. She had like the shame. The shame. Big shame.

Well, I know how the Koreans feel about the Japanese. Not a lot of people know. Yeah, I'll tell everybody, you know what I mean? Tell them. They did some shit, man. It's crazy. They did some shit, bro. We cannot have any Japanese products around

because they get thrown. Oh yeah, your wife's Korean. Hell yeah. My mother and father-in-law. Hello. My harabaji and halmoni. My halmoni is like. He's fucking Asian, man.

Dude, he's Asian. Halmoni is not having any of that. She's like, no. Oh, wait a second. Is it made in Japan? She's like, no. It's like. Oh wow. Yeah, yeah, wait a second. Is it made in Japan? And she's like, no. It's like. Oh wow, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I feel it. I feel it. I'm honorary. Yeah, yeah. It would be really funny if there was a late reveal that you've just been in whiteface this whole time. Canceled, Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant canceled.

Oh my god. That's amazing. The way you said Helmoni was a little too authentic. It was almost too authentic. Yeah, yeah, it's a little too Korean, though. Yeah, but you know, my wife is always on top of me for this because for some reason, I mean, I guess it's just because I'm just an actor.

I absorb accents and stuff. Yeah, yeah. And like, I grew up, my best friend growing up was Filipino, which I say Pilipino. And she always looks at me, She's like you can't do that Like don't you can't you can't do that you're gonna insult people I was like I grew up in this household Like with him he was in my house like we were brothers We were listening to Francis Sam all the time. We were like rapping in

Like I say Filipina she has a real problem with that. Can I say something, bro? When I first met you, I got it, dude. Because you were, dude, it was in the late 90s. We booked an AMPM commercial, right? He is the guy behind the counter. Yeah. Wait, both of you were in it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No way. He's the only man I'm, yeah, so and then the other guy, so it was like four guys parked their car and we go into an AMPM and he's the guy behind the counter. The other guy, I don't know the other two, but there's another guy was Kevin Christie. Oh my God.

So it was me, Kevin Christie, that's how I met Kevin Christie too. So he's a comic by the way, you know, he opens for Whitney, you know what I mean, I just saw him last week, great guy. But, and we talked about you, I said I ran into Kevin Durant again. Anyway, oh, like, well, let's,

Kevin Durant is here. Woo! Asian actor. Asian actor. One of the best Asian actors, Kevin Durant. So. I'd wear that with pride. Yeah, but when I first saw you, and it was weird, there was an instantaneous connection that we had.

Yeah, I thought this is gonna be like a new brother. And it's funny because we like, there's a lot of time in between the times that we see each other, but then whenever we see each other, it's like boom. It's boom. Yeah. It's always at a coffee shop or something weird like that.

I saw you on Hawaii once. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you said something to me, and I was feeling a little low at the time. Yeah. You said something to me. I know why. I know you lost when you were on Lost. Yeah.

I think we were actually in some kind of club. No, that's not, there's no way. Bobby had a club. I'll tell you why there's no way. Can I tell you why there's no way? We were dancing. I don't, okay, don't, I'm telling you. All right.

Just, I believe. Like we had our shirts off. We were like. I know, I remember that. I know. So we had our shirts off, we were dancing. I do remember we were in somebody's room because you guys I remember a script a Lost script. Yeah, so you're gonna bring your lost script to a fucking dance club. Let's be start memorizing mine Because they give you your lines like six hours

The Crowe brothers. Remember you did that movie? I did. Yeah. And that movie was cool because Russell really liked you. Remember you told me that? Well, I did. I did that one before I met you because I did that movie and I moved to Hollywood. And then I think you told me about the AMPM commercial. Yeah, yeah, I couldn't get arrested, saved my life. Oh, I see, I see.

I would walk into rooms and I still had a little bit of my accent and my teeth were still a little chipped out and Hollywood didn't say, okay, we're gonna get your teeth fixed, we're gonna try to make you look better so we can find some way to sell you because we think you're pretty good at what you do.

But yeah, that was pre-the-wash. What was that movie called? Mystery Alaska. Mystery Alaska, check it out. Did you find it somewhere? Yeah, yeah, I don't know where. You can ice skate? Since, yeah, since I was supposed to be a hockey player.

Because Bobby really is um. Have you ever seen me ice skate? Oh can I tell you my favorite ice skating Bobby story? My favorite ice skating story is we were invited to the Pickwick at Adam Sandler's yearly Christmas party and he was like, there's an ice rink there and he was like, you know what, I'm bringing my own skates

because I don't want to wear that peasant shit that they have over there. Because he was like, I'm a real. They're figure skating skates. Rarely do they have hockey skates. Right, so he was like, I'm a real. They're figure skating skates. Rarely do they have hockey skates. Right, so he was like, I'm legit. I'm bringing my own blades. I'm bringing my own. I was like, oh my God.

And this is when we first kind of started dating. And I swear to you, I've never seen someone like attempt and then belly flop and like inadvertently. Like, remember you fell so bad. I wasn't good.

I don't know what it is, but anyway But I remember wanting to leave right away, okay, I remember now Let's not tell that story again

What a great party. Anyway, I'll skate with you, Kev. So then recently how you came here was because, what did I run into you? I ran into you, what did I run into you? Because it was before- Conor. You sent me a message.

And I'm always so happy when I get a Bobby Lee message and Abigail and you were saying some nice stuff and I was I was in the car coming back from doing some press I was just like well fuck I'm not gonna text. I'm just gonna fucking call Thank you, yes, so it was Here we go. Okay, yeah, so it was, here we go. Okay, so this is it. Kevin, April 30th at 3.15. Yeah.

Yeah. I was so excited to hear from you. I know, that was what a cool invite. I almost went. You're close. Yeah, but I was weird going by myself. Would it have been weird? Yeah, a little bit, by myself, checking in.

What if my name was another thing? I didn't have a seat for you either, like you would have had to sit on me. Are you being real? There was no, okay, good. But I remember you doing that. Okay, so I want to talk about. Everybody got quiet.

Oh my God, he invited him without a seat? No, no, no, yeah, of course. No, I know I don't have a seat, but I wanna say. Cause you know what the feeling is, right? Can I just say this really quick? You know what the feeling is? The feeling is, we fucking, we started together a long time ago.

Yeah, that's what it feels like. Like we were doing audition, like that wasn't the only audition we had done. I know, I know. We kept bumping into each other. I remember, I remember, I remember. And so like I was like, oh shit, come to the premiere. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Things are good right now, come and see what it's like, what it's good, because it's not always gonna be good. Yeah, I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I, you know, in terms of my LA relationships, I think yours is, you and Stone Street, do you remember running into Eric Stone Street in auditions or no? I don't think so.

You know who he is? Yeah, oh I know who he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. But it was you, him, those are the people that I ran into at auditions, and then I did open mics, but it's like, when it comes to like the beginning of my LA years, like you were like my first memories, I think,

in terms of people I worked with. Yeah, me too. Yeah, and you're still doing it. And whenever I see you in things, usually when I see other people, I get kind of like, fuck that guy or whatever. I'm positive. I love everyone.

Wait, did you ever buff him, Tim, doing standup? Cause I know you did standup for a little bit. That was before Bobby. Well, you did standup before me? Yeah. I know you did stand up for a little bit. That was before Bobby. Oh. Well, you did stand up before me? Yeah. I met you. I did stand up as a, actually, my mother was driving around Thunder Bay, Ontario, where I'm from,

which is 21 hours north of Toronto. There was an ad on the radio station saying that there was a competition for Thunder Bay's funniest person. And I was 13 years old, and I told mom to take me there, and she was like, no, you're not funny. And I was like, just please, just take me there. I begged her, but she took me there.

And then I said, can you just lend me $20? I promise I'll pay you back, because I didn't know what to talk about. So I just went around the mall, and I just picked up things that I thought was funny, and then I went up on stage. She gave me extra change, because she didn't want to watch because she was embarrassed.

Yeah, yeah. And then I came home with $1,000. No, you won it? I came home with $1,000, and then they started sneaking me into bars and hotels in Thunder Bay, and give me a 50 or a 100 or whatever, and I'd open for this guy called Kevin Kennedy, he was Dr. Funny Bone, and we would do shows.

Wow. And that's. Well, so now I wanna talk about, let's talk about that as a 13 year old. That instinct and that, I mean, it's one of those things where it's, people are always like, well, I'm just scared of doing it, that's why I never did it, but I don't think I have that.

I think I just go and do it. Yeah. And it's did it. But I don't think I have that. I think I just go and do it. Yeah. You know what I mean? And it's a thing that, I don't know if you're born with it or if you're raised with it or something. I don't know what that is, but it seems like obviously you had that thing of just like,

I'm gonna do this even though it's the scariest thing, but you don't have that fear at 13. Why not? I really think that even to this day, like ignorance is my bliss all the time. I'm like, there's certain things that people really feel a lot about when it comes to fear,

to take on certain characters or to work with certain people or whatever. I never feel any of that because I'm, I just, for some reason, I could just jump in and do whatever the hell needs to be done. That's goals. I don't know why hell needs to be done. That's goals. I don't know why. I don't know if it's goals.

I think there's something wrong with me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Well, there is, but yeah. No, but you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's something to admire. It's like I look at it and I go, because sometimes I'm scared a lot.

She knows. Oh, I'm scared too. I think of 50 different ways it could go wrong before I even start. That was something that crept up on me for a while and my brain went crazy with it and it started to spiral and I ended up like hitting rock bottom and then as I'm sitting down there

and like every like fucking second, I was like, oh my God, I'm gonna die at, and every fucking second, I was like, oh my God, I'm going to die at any moment. Then I'd have to go to set, and between action and cut, it was fine, but then right after that, I was screwed again. So I got help, and ever since then, since I got help, now that ignorance is even bigger, I'm not scared of anything. I'm leaning into everything in my life. I feel like I'm a better dad, a better husband.

I'm training like I've never trained before. I just feel clear. I'm writing and I'm directing my first movie. And I know there's a good chance that people say, oh, you're going to fail. And I'm like, I really don't care because it's like literally I could die tomorrow and then that's it.

So it's like, let's just jump in and see what happens. I think that's the thing. Let's jump in. Yeah, the death thing. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's real, it's the death thing. So real.

I always say to myself, dude, you can die at any moment, you gotta do it. Yeah. Even like with, I mean, no offense, but even with girls. Yeah. No offense, I love you so much. And because we dated for 10 years, you know that? For 10 years. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we lived, yeah, he even with girls, no offense, I love you so much, because we dated for 10 years, you know that?

For 10 years? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he doesn't know, but yeah. She's moved on. And you guys are good friends? We love each other. I love him so much. We're family. But what I'm saying is that even with women,

I go, like in my early 20s I was like, oh, she's too hot. Yeah. But now it's like, I don't care. And then some of the girls are like, like that. You know what I mean? I don't know, fuck, you know what I mean? Yeah, like, you know what I mean? Well, you gotta lose coochies, this ain't your matter,

you know what I mean? But I don't see it. Oh, whoa, that's too much. Whoa, too much. No, in my mind. Oh, yay. Yeah, yeah, I don't see how loud. You don't see how loud?

These are thoughts. These are thoughts. Right, Kevin? Thoughts. Thoughts. Right, Kevin? Thoughts. Thoughts. Thoughts. Why don't you say, instead of saying or thinking there's something wrong with them, just think that you have everything going for you.

Do you know what I mean? That's what I do too. Okay. I also do a little scoochy. No, no, no. All right, let's cut that out. Maybe that's not gonna play well. No, no, no.

Yeah, how long did it take to? Like six hours, eight hours, what is that? It was about seven and a half hours. You're dead on, yeah, seven and a half hours. It was a big process. I think that's probably why I didn't show up in Deadpool. It took forever to put that thing on. Wow. Then when you watched it, you know it was hours. It was it was a big process I think that's probably why I didn't show up in Deadpool movie. It took forever to put that thing one Wow Yeah, then when you watch that, you know, it was 100% Yeah. Yeah, cuz he told me about it. Yeah

Yeah, yeah, he told me yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And then I and then and then and then crickets man Really? I didn't get a call. Wow. You were so good in that. So you get like a two in the morning call time probably.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. But I worked 14 days on that movie and I was in Australia for four months. So I did a lot of surfing and it was fun. What do you mean four, so they, I love when that happens. I loved it too. Where they give you like you work on this date,

but then you have two weeks off, that kind of thing? Yeah. Yeah. And you're in Australia, so you're not. I love that, I think that with the borderlands. Yeah. Yeah. You have weeks off, you go to Per Diem. Yeah. Just walking around town like, I do whatever I want.

And you're like, I have a job. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't have to work. It's the best, it's the best, it's the best. Yeah, yeah. Wow. It was good.. Yeah, yeah. Wow. So what's your favorite part then so far in your journey? I swear to God, the Kingdom and the Planet of the Apes.

It was the most fun I've ever had. Let's talk about Kingdom and the Planet of the Apes. Yeah, it was so fun. So there was a lot of monkeys in it. There were a lot of apes. Yeah, apes on me, sorry. My bad, my bad, my bad. It's okay.

Do you know the difference? Yeah. I sat on it right today. Orangatanga now. So are you in a situation where they're putting orbs on your face in a green suit and you're doing that on a stage? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, yeah, how long did you, what is that?

How long is that? Well, we got, we did like an ape school. that on a stage? Yeah pretty much. Yeah yeah how long did you, what is that, how long is that? Well we got, we did like an ape school. There's ape school? Wow. We did five weeks of ape school so that we studied the anatomical differences between the the human anatomy and our particular, our specific apes anatomy and then it informs the way that we move and that once you start figuring out how they would move like you're you're not just moving because you think this is how an ape moves you're moving because that's these are the reasons why they move like that. So you're basically anthropologists then? Sure. What are the five weeks of ape school? I know so give me like I'm let's say first day of ape school you're my instructor do I know, man? What do I need to know? Well, the first thing is that the rib cage

and the hips are about this close together, so there's no torsion. So that's why I'm in there. It's kind of like that. They don't make hands hurt. Whoa, I didn't know that. So that's one of the biggest things. That's a cool one.

Another thing is there's like thumbs on the feet. So it informs the way you walk. They can hitchhike with their feet. Sure. Sure. One pro. Ew. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa. That's ridiculous. What? Whoa, that's insane. So then, so we start moving around and figuring out how to move, and then once I felt comfortable in it, then my movement coach said,

asked me a question, and he kept asking me questions. He wanted to hear what the character sounded like, and I didn't know yet, and then one day, when I was really comfortable, I started to speak like this. Wow. Proximus feels good. And it all kind of came from there and then.

and you feel really foolish because you're doing this with one other person. And then everybody else is buying in. And it sounds crazy, but when you have all of us in the scene, you know, you kind of, it sounds weird, but you kind of transcend another. Look, but you kind of transcend to another. Look at him, he's out of breath. Your puppy's breathing.

Oh, that's you. No, that other guy was in the elevator at Comic-Con. Yeah, that's my buddy, that's Owen. Owen, right? Owen Teague, he's incredible. Yeah. He plays Noah, the lead of the movie, so we, we were both equally obsessed with this,

And then in my mind I'm like, and don't know, he did that voice. I was like, in my mind I'm like, oh, Kevin's in there. So every ape, I was like, is that ape? Which one is Kevin? And then in my mind I'm like, and then once that character came out, I go, I turned to Gene Hong and I go,

yeah, I think that's my friend. And Gene goes, I don't give a shit. Because the whole movie I was like, my friend's coming up, right? And my friend's just like just what's the fucking movie?

When I watch the movie, I see all my friends that I work with because they built everything on top of our movement, idiosyncratic behavior, everything. So I was working with them the whole time. Like my daughter, for instance, my eight-year-old,

when she went to see it. If you saw that, would you go, oh, there's Kevin. No. No, I wouldn't. But when you see the movement and the. Even then, dude, I'm sorry, it's hard, but the voice, the voice, I was like, no, that sounds like Kevin.

Really? Is that all there is? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. Well, you did a great job on that, dad. Amazing. My daughter was so upset. Why?

Well, because I ended up falling off a pretty high cliff. Oh. And she had been seeing me walking around the house. You know, I mean, come and play with me. So she knew that character, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was like, ah! Ah!

I like traumatized. But she thought, wow, wow, wow. I wouldn't have taken her. Wow, wow. But did they like it in general? No. They didn't like it at all. She was so traumatized by it. It's a traumatic. Yeah, yeah. But did they like it in general? No. They didn't like it. She was so traumatized by it for her.

It's a traumatic. Yeah, yeah. To see me, you know, this is the first time that she's seen my daddy. It's also so seamless, like the CGI now. It's some of it. It's incredible. It really is incredible.

I was like, oh, that's a guy from Naked Gun. Wow. Yeah. You won a Heisman Trophy, but anyway. I didn't know that. I lived in the Philippines. Like we didn't watch football. I was just like, that's not true.

Murder or two. No, that was pre-murder. Half-wired. Pre-murder. Yeah, pre-murder. Yeah, yeah. But rest in peace. Anyway.

Did you know that I was a hockey player? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it's a pretty heavy story. It's about a guy who's way too old. He shouldn't be there anymore. He's starting to suffer from chronic traumatic and telepathy, which is the repeated concussive injuries to the brain, he's addicted to the pain meds,

he's buying them off market, because he can't get enough from his doctor, and he's just spiraling like crazy, and he's got this daughter that he loves more than anything, but he can only see her with a mediator, and he hits rock bottom, and then it's up to him as to whether he's going to try to climb out of that or not. Wow.

Yeah. But he used to be a hockey star? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, but now he's an old guy like me. Wow. And he shouldn't be there anymore. Are you casting any Koreans that can ice skate?

Yeah, yeah. But I think you should also maybe consider Kevin for the twins movie. We had Sun Kang. Oh yeah. This might be amazing. I picked Sun Kang first. Yeah, yeah, but you think this is better.

Honestly, and he speaks Korean, and he looks, he's eight foot nine? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, they're already doing another twins movie, I think. They are? Yeah, I think so. I saw something. With who? I'm just saying it, we don I think. They are? Yeah, I think so. It's not something. With who?

I'm just saying it, we don't have to talk about it anymore. I'm like. But I also want to talk about Abigail. Yeah. Do you guys see it? You saw it? I love that movie.

I think people will be watching this one for a while. It's such a great cast. And shout out to my buddy Angus Cloud who we lost. He was just brilliant. Wait, which one's Angus Cloud?

Angus on the left right there. Angus passed. How? It's interesting because the strike happened and before the strike happened, so we had about two weeks of shooting left. So they shot him out before he went to strike and then we didn't have him when we came back unfortunately.

I've never been. Okay. Of course. When you go to Comic Con, do you like it? I actually do. This is a new thing though. Why? This is a new thing for me

because I used to get asked to go do conventions and I just had an abject fear of standing in a booth signing and taking pictures and what if people didn't show up and I would have all of these fears and then I did my first two Cons this year and I loved it so much and people just come up and say nice things Nobody comes up and says oh you're stupid and you're bad at acting right right nice thing

Yeah, of course it cuz you're not stupid or in there very good at that. Oh, yeah, very kind But it's it's been really I've been able to lean into that stuff, too So it's been fun, so've been able to lean into that stuff too, so it's been fun. So I go to Comic Con, it's kind of like the con of all cons and got to talk about apes, which as you could tell, I really love that experience. So, you know. I just didn't know what, number one, I was struck by how many people are there.

Oh, you were gone. Did you go to IGN one? Nope. You didn't go to any of the parties? No, I only went to the fandom party. Oh, the fandom party, yeah. Yeah, we went early and then, yeah, I always run home to my wife and daughters.

You know me. There it is, there it is. That's the thing, you have a family and that's what you think about. Run to my babies, yeah. I'm alone, so. Oh. You could come hang out with us, man.

That's okay, that's your family. But you know, I'll be fine. Oh, they'd love you. Yeah, I know. I would like to meet them. They're not my family at all. Sandra loves you. Who's Sandra? Your wife? My wife, yeah. Sandra does? Yeah. I've never met her. Yeah, but she's heard a lot about you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got posters of you. You do? In our room. No, you have a poster? What poster? Yeah, on the ceiling. Oh, okay. AMPM. AMPM.

Yeah. I wanna see that. Anybody out there, no, we've tried. But anyone listening right now, if you could find the AMPM commercial that me and Kevin Durand did with Kevin Christie, that would be a fucking, that would be a fucking. How long ago is that?

That was a long time ago. That was like 20, 25 years ago. Yeah, what do you think, what year did it go? It was before Matt TV. So it was 1998? Yeah. 97, 98, yeah, that's fair. Yeah, yeah.

And I had just moved there. So that was about right, yeah. And it was when there was no internet. No. No internet. No. And it was like, Thompson guides.

You'd have to drive around. That's right, Thompson guides. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then if you got an audition, you'd have to go to the agency at two in the morning, go to an alleyway, and then there's a file cabinet out there outside. You go into L and then you find your audition.

Yeah, yeah. Do you know that? Oh, whoa. I can email you. But then there was a line always because there's like a bunch of actors in there, right? So you're just kind of waiting in line, like, and then a guy's like reading it

while he's still in front of the cabinet. It's like, dude, just grab it and, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? I'm like. Yeah, I mean, don't make choices now. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it in your room, you know what I mean?

Right, and then you would grab it, and then there was a time where they would have to, if you had a table read, they would have to drive to your house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're so mad to people, we had like 12 actors. Some guy had to drive at one in the morning and drop off fucking scripts.

Yeah, yeah. No fucking emails. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was a job. Like that was. That was a job, yeah, yeah. And then like, yeah, there was, but then you could, like there were couriers too.

I know people don't want to listen to showbiz bullshit. You know what I mean? I know you guys think. It's always so interesting to us. It's interesting to us, but then people go, we don't want to listen to this fucking showbiz bullshit. Right? And when it's, last thing I want to talk about

is your family. So I'm going to ask you, are you still in love? I am ridiculously in love. I can tell. It's kind of ridiculous. And she knows it's ridiculous. We both know it's ridiculous. But I'm insane.

The first time I saw her, I knew that I had to change myself. I had to try to figure out how I could become a person that would be good for her because I was not the right guy. And it took me two years, it took me two years, and I was writing to her on Myspace. Yeah, yeah, and I got back from, I went to Scotland to try to figure out how to sound like a Scottish person for Robin Hood, and I was there for six weeks.

Which Robin Hood, the one with the consterner? No, Russell Crowe. Oh, Russell Crowe? For Ridley Scott. Oh, Ridley Scott, what about you? I play a great big character from Scotland. Yeah, yeah, everything. I played little John, and I remember I got back, and I finally was like, I think I'm there.

And I was like, would you like to go have coffee with me sometime? And she replied with exclamation marks and she came out and she said, okay, I'm five minutes away. And I was walking to the parking lot and I caught a glimpse of myself and I had this crazy hair and beard and when she had seen me, I was like like all shaven so I ran back to my apartment

I shaved everything out to the parking lot and Yeah, now we've been together. Yeah, that was like 18 years ago. Oh, we've got married 14 in October Congratulations, I love that you said you were aware that you weren't the person she deserved, so you took two years to sort of get there and become that person. A lot of people don't have necessarily

that sort of like self-awareness. I still wasn't there. I don't have self-awareness. No, you do. No, I don't. You just don't want to budge. I don't want to budge. Yeah. You don't want self-awareness. No, you do. No, I don't. I couldn't change. You just don't wanna budge. I don't wanna budge. Yeah.

Oh God. You don't wanna budge. I'm five years old. I didn't change. I didn't change. And my hat's off to you, you know? You're a changer, dude. I honestly, it was,

I didn't even know I wanted to get married and have kids. I had a dream when I was 13 about her, which is weird. What, what, what, what, what do we need? Yeah, I actually had a dream about. Is it you when you were 13 or no? No, no, no. I'm the same age as those kids, that's what's so funny. Honestly, how tall are you there?

I don't know, that was grade four. That was grade four. Oh my God. I was probably about five, 10, five, 10 maybe? Five, maybe five, nine. Did they think you had some sort of disorder or something? Kind of, I kind of, I kind of, like I didn't know, I mean by the time I was like 13, 14, I was my height now, which is six six.

Wow. Which is kind of crazy, like they don't necessarily talk about how hard it is to be the tallest in your group, because you are the same age, because my sister is six feet tall, but when she was 12, she was already five 10. So she towered over everyone,

but she got teased relentlessly. Oh, yeah, crazy. Oh, they did? Oh, absolutely. What'd they call you? Well, I was also one of the, I was a French kid, there was a lot of French kids where I was from. And so there were a lot of reasons for me

to get my elbows and fists keen. I had to start fighting my battles pretty young. I remember I kept getting bullied and my dad just straight up just told me what, you know, probably we've heard this a million times, but he was like, you hit them right between the eyes. And I was like, really? And then I did and then they stopped messing with me.

But I had to do it a bunch of times. Really? Yeah. The person commented just tree. Yeah. Yeah. Tree? That was my-

What's up tree? Look at that French tree dog. That was my character in Mystery Alaska, Tree. Oh. And since then, it's the name of my company's. Oh, okay, context is everything. I thought she was just like roasting you. Yeah, you were roasting him by reading that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In your face. I was like, chill out. In your fucking face. A like roasting you. Yeah, you were roasting him by reading that. In your face, in your fucking face. I was like, chill out, Hollywood song girl. So I'm gonna ask you guys a question. So last night, a girl told me, she goes, and it really rattled me. She goes, you know how you take a piece of scotch tape and you put it on paper and then you peel it, right?

That scotch tape doesn't get as sticky the more you do it, right? And scotch tape doesn't get as sticky the more you do it, right? And she goes, you're like that scotch tape because you've been with so many girls since you were, you know what I mean, come to LA, right? That there's no longer a stick, so it's like you don't, you're never gonna find, you're never gonna meet somebody

and fall in love in that way because, you know what I mean, each breakup now isn't as hurtful, and each encounter now isn't as like dreamy, right? And it fucked me, I couldn't sleep last night, I thought she could be right. Yeah. Do you want that? I do, I wanna be able to meet somebody

and be all dreamy about it, but I've thought to myself, why haven't I done that in the last 20, go ahead. No, sorry, you're saying you're no longer adhesive. Yeah. I have a counter to that. I think that if you're looking for dreamy, sort of this like unrealistic in loveness,

especially at our age, like we've been through enough life and experience and relationship, you're setting yourself up for never finding it. Because I think that it's never gonna feel like our high school first crush necessarily. It could feel intense. And I think because we both come from traumatic households, healthy things don't feel dreamy, chaotic, horrible.

I attest to that. I absolutely, in my relationship. What's attest mean? I concur. You agree? I agree. He's like what is concur? A test sounds like okay. My wife came from a very solid place which I had a great childhood but it probably wouldn't have been considered regular. And she taught me what basically what real love is, and it's not like, it isn't that crazy thing. It's something that you work on too. But you have to be willing to work on it. So I, you know, my meditations every day, like I think about it, I think, how do I get better every day?

How do I get better as a dad? How do I get better as a husband? How do I get better as an actor? How do I get better as a human? How do I live a happy, long, healthy life? How do I make all these things happen in my life that I want that are gonna draw goodness into my life, into their lives?

And I work on that every single day. I think you're right because I think that we've conflated like. That too much? Way too much, man. I don't know, man. You can do it. I mean, it's really cool that you're doing that.

It seems hard. Come sit with me. I'll hang out with you. Come sit with me. Okay. And seriously. All right, yeah. No, I'm being real.

I think I need a rework,work, a wiring re-work. You're also surrounded by, I hate to say this because I think that comics are very great in their own way, but it's like a band of, I think a lot of them is like a band of misfits, right? And so I think that you are almost, you feel like, okay, well, it's fine to live this way forever. But I don't necessarily think that,

like, Dr. Drew always says this to me, because he knows I come from a very difficult history and childhood. He's like, for you, Kaleila, you're not looking for lightning bolts. What's good for you is safe harbor. Like safety, consistent, grounding kind of love. But I've always chased the lightning bolts

and the passion and the chaos and someone who's like eclectic and insane. And now I've come to realize like, oh, my nervous system has been fried. It fried it. Yeah. I fried it. Yeah. I fried the fuck of your system.

I'm a fryer, dude. I don't fry the fuck out, man. Sizzle, sizzle. Sizzle, sizzle, dude. You fucking fart. And I don't regret being fried. I definitely found so much value in being like, because it's so inspiring to be around someone like that.

The reason that I knew that I had to get myself ready for her was because I had been fried. And like I was in relationships that were almost more like drug addiction. Yeah, exactly. And that was fun. But then I also knew, oh, I'm going to die. By the time I feel like I really thought,

like my ex-girlfriend was like this, we had this frenetic kind of thing, and we were good friends, but I knew that we couldn't be together. And when I stepped away and opened up and started to work on myself, then I was able to try to become what is better for me. Because I'm a really happy guy.

I love that. Yeah, I love it too. You hate me right now? No, I wanna come, no, I know, no, maybe you can help me rework my system. Find your adhesives again. I gotta get my sticks, shit sticky again. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But, you know, I'm still, I still like the danger. He likes danger. I feel, I get it. I love it, it's so fun. Yeah. I mean and you know when you see new situations arise. Yeah. It's fun but um you know the but the other day I met a girl at a dance situation, I was dancing. Yeah. I think that for you specifically, like, you know, we're still very close and he tells me, you know, who he's seeing and whatnot and his choices are obviously like gorgeous, probably like beautiful women, but like dangerous.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, he, they're- I feel that, I was there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dangerous. And it's like, he just is so, maybe like,

maybe you're self-loathing or masochistic in some way. Yeah, both ways, both ways, baby, what's up? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, dude. Hollywood, what's up? Killing it, dude, I love it. Yeah, yeah. We talk about too much real, you know what I mean?

But what's this? Too much real? I'm just finding so much, how talented this human being is. That's you? I feel like I've only seen black guys. 15 years old, they're right there. Yep. Yep.

Some like deaths and you know what I mean?

Canceled. And you were really scared of your 50s, remember? You like went through a deep depression. Yeah, yeah, but I'm like, oh no, my 50s have been wild. It's been some really bad things. You guys know, but like, but some really great things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It kind of depends on what kind of, you know,

like you have people come to Hollywood and then their years are their 20s and 30s because they look a certain way. And then, you know, guys like, I'll say me specifically, like that have been hit with a shovel a couple times, it's like, it takes longer to kind of grow into the characters, I guess, for me. So it's just starting to get better now.

Like it's, yeah. Your face is so good. Look at his face. He's got the face. It's like Christopher Walken. You see a little bit of him in your face, right? I love it. There's other things going on.

Are we getting a lot of Elon Musk? Maybe a little bit. A Walken Musk. When you type in your name on images, Elon Musk comes up. Yeah. That's so funny. No, really? Yeah, right here.

He's so, dude, as an actor, I look at him, I go, yeah, that's the funniest dude. Right, you can just tell, like as a comic, I'm like, no, that guy is legit. Yeah. So if you see actors, I go, yeah, that's the funniest dude. Right? You can just tell, like as a comic, I'm like, no, that guy is legit. So if you see actors, you go, no, that dude is fucking funny.

So what you're saying too, theoretically that you can re-stick it, I don't think you're saying. I think so. I think it's been used too much. I think if you take away the porn, you take away the over-stimulation, you take away all of your dating apps. Get fit. And everything that just always gives you that dopamine hit and you start

Clear focus on the on the right things Yeah, I'm telling you man Gecko, okay Kevin's gonna make you sticky. I know I stick me out That was that was so you want to plug anything or any Instagram things or anything Oh care about that or no? The Kevin Durant on Instagram. Follow him on Instagram.
