Yes, they do
Starting point is 00:19:56 Well, not at the Volkswagen in in panorama city.

Starting point is 00:20:30 Because the white people go on there and they see your customer service index is down. They don't do business with you Wait, this is white people Before no, this is before yeah, it was almost like what was that service this business consumer business This is before you up No, no, no, no, and they still got it now when you buy a car a dealer will send you a fucking thing Because that score Let you know how whether you'll get certain cars If you treat your customer shitty, they ain't gonna send you all the cars you are
Starting point is 00:20:58 They're gonna give you a shitty fucking a lot with the cars They're gonna send you red cars and orange cars convertibles the lime green one. No one nobody fucking wants so Uh, that's that you have to have a high customer rating now, man. You really do. It's got to be like extraordinary When I do business with this Subaru They go above and beyond. That's why I've gotten four cars from them I'm on my fourth or fifth or sixth car from the valley right there. Yeah van eyes. I bruce. He comes to my shows. He calls, you know That's why I just call him and go i'm coming up When thursday at three have a car ready for me
Starting point is 00:21:33 Let's do it. Boom. I walk in no down payment because I just go from lease to lease to lease. Yeah I'm an american dog when I started When I saw cars I learned more about life than anything ever You know when you there's certain companies you work with that you tell them i'm gonna pay this down payment one time But i'm gonna get one of these every three years yeah I'm just coming in. I'm gonna call you at one. I'm gonna pick the car up before it's watched as fully guess
Starting point is 00:22:00 I sign four papers. That's what i've seen three years after a while. They'll know you just tell them That's how I want to do business Listen, whatever and now you're a value customer. You're always gonna go lease from them every fucking three years You're gonna go to the service department. You know, you're gonna work it. They work with you, bro I've always bought cars. I've never leased a car. No, no, no no more that ends That ends now. Can you write off a lease a little bit on your taxes? I'm ton of shit because i'm i'm making you pay for what you try. Why are you paying for the whole thing? Look what's going on with society today
Starting point is 00:22:33 Look what's going on with my man here ever since i've known my man He's broken down for me and then between him and my other brother They'll fucking sit you down and talk you 22 ways. Why are you up to cut cable today? Yeah, and what the scam is and what the source they do they cut it all the way down They got chinese lease got chinese cable that's got stolen from the israelis And they get shipped to new jersey, okay? And then he gets like hbo go for three dollars a month He gets the espn package with his little fucking things no hbo. He doesn't need to ask him
Starting point is 00:23:05 That's the today's america. I know watching tv for 25 dollars a month and there's americans still paying 100 That's me though. I'm the america. My dad's on my passport I sometimes I go who's watching the sneaky pits without me. How good is it my dad? I'm just one in but my dad's like I could I go you got to go back to the one that I was on It's one account. You can't just keep moving. He's five ahead My entire family's on my all my accounts too. Yeah, my mom watches like gilmore girls I'm like who's watching gilmore this kid eliminated the cost of this television. Yeah, okay, so the same I'm paying 180 bucks a month
Starting point is 00:23:43 I'm a nerd. I love tv I when I first got a tv in my room because I wasn't allowed to and through my entire life I didn't sleep I had espn the sports center the bars on the left I had it burned into my tv because it was I would just have it on all night And I haven't had cable for about two and a half years So still you haven't I haven't had I haven't had cable. I've had netflix. I have uh, Cody a little bit but not really even that much. I have uh, amazon cso for some specials and uh,
Starting point is 00:24:15 And then a lot of the other stuff you can just buy on on demand now Well, you you lease what depreciates and you own what appreciates So whatever loses money, why would you buy? I buy 20 000 for a car. I go down the corner. It's worth 18 Already now. I just got 20 g's in this fucking car Okay, then you have the option of financing if you have great credit You go down and put a percentage down and get like a cheap union rate or something six points And you can save money that way to build your credit or whatever But after a while and I learned this selling cars you want the most car for the least amount of money
Starting point is 00:24:53 When I used to pencil people, which means when I go to my manager for steve run is easy. Yeah Yeah If steve told me that if he kept saying 250 to like the best deal ever Like as an american to fucking my brother like if my mother came to me in 1989 90 in that time and said to me papa What kind of car would you look me up with nissan at one time? Had a deal on the medium car What's that rocket ship in the middle?
Starting point is 00:25:23 Altima altima no bigger than that one the one maxima. Yeah What that maxima nissan maxima nissan altima maxima when I was fucking selling cars They had a deal that you can only unless you're fucking stupid You wouldn't go down there First of all when you buy a car You own the car for five years not the five years then you own the fucking car So for five years the bank owns that fucking note By the time you own that car you don't even want that fucking car no more. It smells like gas hole
Starting point is 00:25:56 Your ex-girlfriend used to blow you in the car. She's not one another guy, you know, it's ridiculous But now we have so much invested that we want the most out of this car and our mind this car is worth all this money And then we go try to sell it and ain't worth that now. We're stuck with that fucking car Listen as an american you want to trade your car in every three years Every three years 15,000 a year Bam, I don't do no more driving the 15,000 a year no more. Do you now not since when that our driving days are over Well, San Diego was the only place we drive. I don't go to san francisco. No more. You fly to san francisco. Yeah So if you keep your mileage, you know
Starting point is 00:26:35 Why buy when you can rent that's all ugly sis So now instead of you paying 450 a month. I'm gonna give you the same car for 300 a month But 36 motherfucking month, you know the 4 000 you really had to put down to get that number Put 2,500 back in your pocket. It's just gonna be $1,500 that Really and in three years you come in here and fucking get another three talk to your counter It may not work for you, but a blinkin the great a blinkin said lease What appreciates
Starting point is 00:27:07 And no own what appreciates and lease what depreciates. Fuck you a blinkin. I think you're doing what he had So here's my that's why I come to the church I've been leasing this is my second lease and both times I've paid for the extra miles Please thank you. I've paid for the extra miles and and you never get it. Well, I got close Mostly, but now I live so close to where I am most of the time. I think I did under 10,000 last year So like but then someone was telling me you fucked up because this fucking guy gets a call from them. This is how they get you They get these fucking dudes they call him after the lease is two years old And they say come down. We got too much inventory. Give us your car. Well, I still got here and you go down
Starting point is 00:27:50 That's how they fuck with the numbers I don't fuck with the numbers. Yeah, I wait the three years you dropped the car off now. I got it so good. I dropped the car off Okay They cut me a check for the miles And when I get a check a bill from subaru I've sent them that check You know how many bills I've got from subaru Really
Starting point is 00:28:18 It pays to be loyal with one company. That's it I don't care if it's bmw. You lose the bmw the shitty one the three Just because you want to be cool. It's dirt cheap That's why you see thousands of fucking bmw because people go down and go and I want to buy a bmw And also they go, you know what the number is on that? It's this every month. It's it's a small nickel. You know what I'm saying? Plus you're 21. All right You're 21. What do you think insurance gonna bang you? That's another gbo a month.

It's a dark club It had become fucked up for a while and those guys took it over and said it again and stuff But that was a weird trip because I turned down that I turned out another showcase like the comic strip like this manager
Starting point is 01:29:21 I had knew that comedy thing new york city. Uh-huh, but he also told me To make a tape of myself to when stand up while I was here and drop it off an hbo That they're casting a show called the sopranos And I remember going like okay, so why would I go to a song about singers?

I got so good at it Dad I got addicted to booking but not wanting to shoot when they call me for wardrobe. I go god damn it And so were you you got addicted to it for a while. You really got into it the acting the producer's sessions the second session
Starting point is 01:31:41 Fuck the second sessions. Yeah, I remember saying to you. It's a game of numbers And it's so weird how it was like it was like you lost In your mind it seemed like you lost a hundred jobs in a row It all of a sudden boom effects called the day you were for six seasons. Yeah It's unbelievable But yeah, those those years of just being like I went I got to this level this year I didn't book one the next year you book a pilot doesn't go Just you know that whole thing where you're like, I'm in the room
Starting point is 01:32:12 trying the best I can Trying to figure it out as I go along Who we would see in the rooms who we would test for what roles I remember Julie Julie Ashton bringing both of us in right now you should be a mind reader Because that's all I can think about right now is Julie Ashton. Yeah, like when I think about my comedy career Three pilots Four pilots she put me in. Yeah, she's the best one of them at five in the afternoon Corp time was seven
Starting point is 01:32:42 1500 go to fox NYPD 2063 That didn't have a chance in the hell you understand me rocket ships in new york People getting shot by lasers. I was a newspaper guy. Good luck. Oh my god I think these stars. How many stars did I have? I had one star. That's all you need trust me amazing It's uh, I would I think till today Julie still calls me and I hope to see her 16 years later
Starting point is 01:33:12 That's crazy That we've been working for that lady for 16 years everything would happen with me. She called to say hey We're good I love you She's a good woman let me see I booked lewis but she booked me in lewis Whatever's pilot. Oh, yeah, she booked me in NYPD 2069
Starting point is 01:33:38 That's amazing She booked me in uh Happy hour Oh, really then they cut me out after the pilot tanks of shit that they were Thanks to shit those people now I see them around And they can't even look me in the eyeball and shit they had to but they were improv actors though Two of them were commercial actors Now they're fucking the five people on our show and they couldn't hire the right janitor
Starting point is 01:34:05 Finally I'd bring uncle joey into school them in the school of comedy and they they're fucking joey's drop They didn't at that time at that time. I was that good already on stage. I had done the longest yard There's nothing to be fucking you guys are fucking amateurs Compared to what a fucking dungeons. I've been You know what I'm saying? I remember the the uh the longest yard Everyone coming out after hanging out with us at the comedy store that was in the movie and saying how unbelievably Fucking funny you were the entire time down there. Oh, I was killing all those motherfuckers killing everyone I was killing I was in you were gone. Where were you guys? New mexico? New mexico
Starting point is 01:34:42 I New mexico for like five days. I just watched Listen like god blessed me. It's whoever They called me down there and I gotta tell you something. I was kind of pissed and I thought I got down and lifted the schedule like Yeah, you know even shoot until next week Yeah, what am I here for but they were giving me per diem. Yeah buck a day. Mm-hmm. They had me in fucking the hotel Santa Fe which is Nice, we're lucio ball. That's where everybody goes Brad Pitt. That's the best there is. Yep
Starting point is 01:35:16 Indians fucking tremendous food, you know, just tremendous fucking food They had me in that room for fucking Seven days before I did anything So for the first three or four days, I went to this down there, you know Motherfuckers like I said, but I got to hang out the number. Yep. I brought the vibe is a little notepad I broke my sides over just to make believe I was going on my side, but not really I'm making notes to what the fuck. I'm seeing how you're shooting this How he's working with the actors. I was you know, I didn't know
Starting point is 01:35:51 Wait, I was doing I was doing one line for fucking thing before that Yeah, my first scene was going to be like a fucking eight liner. Yeah In an insombo with eight gorillas talking at one time. That's like, uh, yeah, that first line I do uh Whatever the fuck it is Tree out. Yeah, what the fuck's the tree out? Yeah. That was it dog. And all of a sudden there was eight people I'd never done that before. Yeah, wait. Thanks. So many teachers. I don't do that. They teach you how to do mean you I'm new york city. I can do like I love getting interviewed by the cops. That's my number one job You got a guy get interviewed by the cops. I'm not gonna brand. Oh, that's how good I am at that
Starting point is 01:36:31 No, but we were both fighting for our lives trying to get acting jobs. Yeah movies We had conversations about shit at night and I by that point I had figured out it was fucking Wasn't even about your performance. It was just about there was so many many getting factors variables different ways Didn't matter what you know, just luck of the thing that worked out at the right time The stars always have to be aligned. Yeah Joe you always talk about focus. So why why can't you why why didn't you just focus all of your energies on stand-up? Like why are you even worrying about acting? Because at that point my stand-up was going nowhere
Starting point is 01:37:13 My stand-up was going nowhere and I figured out that Montreal didn't want me. There was no comedy agents wanted me There was no comedy man managers that spoke to me, but If I could act I could go through the back door By the time they catch up with my stand-up my stand will be ready for So if I could act little by little see Like I told you or somebody else in this town as a young comic you come here You ain't dick. You could be the funniest guy at all those open mics
Starting point is 01:37:43 They're gonna promote you to be a regular at the store. You ain't dick the u-book or commercial. Yep That's how I remember it. Okay, because tell them why because now you become viable. Yeah, that's who you become You're letting me know. I'm at home one night. I own the improv Embraer You've been bugging me for a year to do a guest spot You're still watching commercials at this point. You're still watching commercials. It's 11 30. You're stoned And there's Steve Renize easy on a fucking motor oil commercial During the 11 o'clock news. Holy shit. I'm a bookhead for one of those shit weekends that we can't get rid of You know, and they'll give you an mc spot. Yeah, because
Starting point is 01:38:20 They know now that you might go somewhere You just became somebody by booking that commercial part of a club. That's it when I booked the Taco Bell commercial It was all over like people were talking to me. I booked the pilot for cbs. Nobody knew about it. Yep Even if you don't talk like if you don't talk you're cool. It's yeah. Yeah. McDonald's was my first commercial I booked the McDonald's. I'm gonna take it a book of commercial in those days. I booked it in 2005 So four years Three and a half years How often we go on editions? I mean the first year it was like
Starting point is 01:38:55 They they barely they sent you out of like one every if you didn't book it right away like one a month And then and then you know, you get like a callback or a couple callbacks And then before you know it you're they're like you're in callbacks all the time and then you book one then you go You know, then they're like, all right I remember judo freeland had booked like 87 commercials. Yeah Like and that's before he became and they take you serious and they go, okay, let's I've seen you before Have I seen you? Yeah. Now you hop over from commercial actor to real actor, which it's tough sometimes A lot of people get like that AT&T guy. You'll never you'll see him in the spring commercial
Starting point is 01:39:32 But you'll never see him in the movie opposite jacuzzo or fucking johnny bananas or something like that It's crazy how I knew that I would eventually Like everything I would get one line one line one line then I went on a three liner Tear for a while and then I went in a five liner only with credits rolling Yep The first I went on a three movie tear where the credits ran through me in the first fucking five minutes of the movie I remember going from commercials I'd done two commercials and then I booked a guest star on the show called kitchen confidential
Starting point is 01:40:04 With bradley cooper was a fox show and I was going to play a banker who was running out on a check I go wall street guy And he was like ran the restaurant. So he would run after me and call the cops So it was one like one scene but four lines and then I run out the door so I remember hanging out on set and trying to see what the difference is it between this is the same thing as a commercial I don't even commercial, you know, they didn't treat you very well So then I did this and they're covering angles and this and that the director's like more
Starting point is 01:40:35 Talking to you and it's the reality show like the re-enactment. No, no, no. This was a real scripted show. Okay. Yeah And so he would you know, like just trying to learn about the differences like what's the next level going to be like? All right, this is television. This is what this feels like. It's different than commercials They kind of have more money take more time on things. They kind of move it differently So I remember going from that to that and kind of learning the level as I got there You know, I wanted to take you to get the leak You that was in 2009 So nine years. Yeah, I've done a couple pilots. I did one show that went for like 12 episodes
Starting point is 01:41:11 in uh, six And then a couple pilots that didn't go after that then that paul blart movie was between that too That was great because that was another one. There was in boston For three months. We shoot the movie. I get there. I had like 10 day gaps You know, but you know, my girlfriend would come out and fly out and hang out, you know So it was great like hanging out in the hotel. But yeah, those big breaks are fun. Kevin used to give us all this shit

He would give us some legal seafoods right on the that's right We used to fucking eat there Dude, I grew up I grew up without legal seafoods and the high top seeds right at the front It was the best job because we would uh Would they realize because the mall was still open. We kind of shoot kevin stuff at night So I had like business man hours. My call time wasn't until noon And then I would work till eight
Starting point is 01:42:05 Be home back at the hotel by 8 30 then nice dinner, you know, and then get into the night whatever I wanted to do Have long stretches off four or five days off. It's fucking great. And they just paid you run a film. It was awesome That and then the league It was a different I get quiet. I just started getting calls About a week and a half ago people like Have you been going off the pilot season by the goal? I didn't even know it was pilot season. Yeah, I just started And uh, I was and like at this point I'm not even concerned the whites are concerned myself
Starting point is 01:42:42 I think I gave up about five years ago six years ago. I finally said this is the reality of it Unless I write a show somebody writes me in from the very beginning A producer that believes in me This ain't gonna happen. I don't want to go in no half way to them book it Then you're too funny for him So they replace you with fucking white johnny And there you are and they're fucking friends. You know what I'm saying? Fuck that and that's a p You know, that's part of the business a lot of great people listen
