Yeah, I just want to hook up with you When I first bought house of the holy, mm-hmm at the age of 12 or 13 When I first tried marijuana and dabbled with it, I would put How's it a holy on mm-hmm, and I will listen to Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, is it's that one another one then it's no quarter. Yeah, it's the ocean. Yeah, I would skip over no quarter Too trippy. It was too much for uncle Joey at the age of 13. It was the devil music
Starting point is 00:04:47 I didn't start listening to no quarter. I was like 18. Yeah, that's when I was when I started really feeling it It was too strippy for me and I asked the reality by black Sabbath. Yeah bought it brought it home Little too much for me number of the beast scared me when I got scared this shit out of me I was raised Catholic and I was like, uh Nice to get goosebumps from Vincent Price's voice. Let me ask you a question because it's interesting. You said you're raised Catholic So I know you a couple years. I don't know nothing about you. You know, I know your name is Russell Peters I look at you. I know you're not Mexican. I know you're fucking something Indian. I don't know what it is So boom you think you're Indian
Starting point is 00:05:26 And then today I just said, you know what I don't know be the answer around the guy and Shake him down. Let me just look him up. And also when I find that you're from Toronto, you know, I didn't know I thought you If I do you're some some fucking country I had no fucking idea and something your family is white somewhere, right? So Anglo angle Indian and you're something out. What country are you from from India? Both my parents is the funny thing Like I thought Peters was short for Mike out. No, I thought that you said fucking I'm gonna change it to a Hollywood. No, no, no You said you went to you went to a Peters
Starting point is 00:06:03 But no, no, that's not the case of you but later on you did do a movie meet the potatoes No, something you got a credit for it some TV shows think some some movie I probably they probably put my name on it. I don't know if I'm in it. Oh, yeah, no, it's crazy But so you know what? Yeah, I think I am in that one. So this whole time. I'm thinking your name is Rosselli Masaluni Fluckin whatever that name is but tell Patel and today I find out this whole different thing that I had illusions about you You know Russell Dominic Peters. Jesus Christ and you were raised Catholic raised Catholic. You still go to church. No, I'm atheist now Now you're an atheist. You don't know when I say raised Catholic Church
Starting point is 00:06:44 And you know follow important ones communion confirmation Confession and then you're like you read the book and you go, okay, that's how old were you when you said that said I'm done I think when I was a kid and I wouldn't was being church and I would look at everything in the church I'm like, it doesn't make any sense. It's really morbid for a kid to look at this See, I thought couple years ago I went to church and I saw a young couple with a child and the child was unsettled and I said, you know what? This is bullshit because that was me. Why are you here? My mom used to force feed me on church. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:07:21 Why was I here? My mom was a? Whatever fanatic Like if you were dead, she would do something for you So after my father died she would drop in there like like we'd be in the city and she'd go Let's go see the priest and we drop in and she'd give the priest like a 50 in a bottle of scotch Yeah, and the priest would come up with a phony casket and put a ribbon over it They do like a quick fucking mass and I believe that my father was in that casket. It was the creepiest fucking. Oh, yeah It's very morbid sitting sitting now from a different angle and looking at it that whole thing, but I gotta tell you man. I
Starting point is 00:07:58 still believe Yeah, no, I don't fuck the pedophilia fuck all that other stuff and what happened because when there's good sometimes it's bad I Still believe there's something I talked about this is Duncan the other day I believe there's something there's a karma force. There's a boom go with that good karma something There's something out there that makes you a couple You know just makes you think about things. I might have a theory that I think that Whoever loved you when they were alive when they die The love can't be broken. So wherever or whatever they're doing. However, they're
Starting point is 00:08:36 Their spirit is there their energy is moving on or whatever it's doing it stays connected to you So are you spiritual on a certain level? Yeah, see that I am the other certain spiritual Ever since I was a kid. I always knew my father was dead But he was always close to me. Yeah, cuz he loved you as creepy as it sounds and on Mondays On the Cuban tradition. I put our glasses of water. I have a I have a An altar for anybody who was my friend that died. I have a picture of them I put water a lot of candle. I pray every Monday for them. It's just something. It's called an ancestor altar Mm-hmm, because I believe the same thing. I believe they watch over you. I don't know why I was as creepy and as crazy

Let's just do this Are you one of those guys that right stays home for six months? No I get on stage and just spit until I like it. And then once you have an hour, then you take it out. Yeah, okay I'll go do a club run when I'm trying to write I'll go do like fucking three three weekends six six six or eight shows a weekend
Starting point is 00:59:17 With nothing and then by the end of the thing I've got about 25 30 minutes And what clubs do you go to whatever I'll go to play I go to places where it doesn't like where I don't usually go So I'm out of my comfort zone I'm like, you know, you got to be uncomfortable You need to be uncomfortable to make yourself comfortable No, I believe in all that. Yeah, I believe in all that stuff You know, I'll go to like not not they're not bad rooms, but anyways, I'll go to charlie. Good nights and start writing there, you know I go to like places where
Starting point is 00:59:45 They don't really give a shit if you're there You're not gonna really sell out these places, you know, I mean Really you have a hard time. No, I mean I sell them out, but like it's not guaranteed That's crazy, man, I don't want the easy I don't like the easy road. It's not then you don't learn anything that way What do you mean by the easy road? I mean going where you know, you're gonna kill What are you gonna learn? It's like training with the guys, you know, you can beat. What's the point?
Starting point is 01:00:17 You're not getting better. You're just Just doing what you know. I mean, you gotta you gotta challenge yourself all the time When I first got here I was very lucky that the first month I became a regular at the store But like everybody else you have to do spots everywhere else. Yeah You have to go to the empire you have to go laugh actually have to go to To the mexican bar in silver lake You gotta go to the mexican place and by king taco up to five. Oh, yeah, but then you find where you specialize it
Starting point is 01:00:47 So you did the comedy works in denver then back then, right? I started the comedy works in denver Yeah, that's the downtown club first love that club first time I got on stage that the comedy works in denver And then I pursued it and then I got banned for life from the comedy works And that's what made me leave colorado. Now they're not banned anymore. No, no, I'm not banned But it was funny because I bumped into her And we spoke from the heart like I hadn't spoken to her since the banning. She was the manager She wendy was the owner at the time and I didn't get banned. I got banned because of it
Starting point is 01:01:25 It wasn't lee going to you and going joey grabbed my ass, right?

That was the easy thing. It was the best neck that could have happened to me in retrospect Oh, yeah, where I was at that point. I was two weeks away from getting arrested Yeah, in retrospect if you really look at it. I was six months away for going to jail for 10 years I was about to do something stupid. I didn't know what it could have been anything
Starting point is 01:02:07 It could have been driving with cocaine in the car. It could have been me stabbing my ex wipes Boyfriend he could have been in the range of things And she came to me and said you're banned from me And I had two options. I had the two other clubs Which no disrespect to total garbage at the time, right? You're working with shit And then there was another club in colorado springs that wasn't burning down the house either So I said at least let me go to a market where there's a good club for me It was the comedy underground in seattle at the time

Starting point is 01:03:17 What a lot of comedians don't understand that at one time, you know, it'd be very relevant Yeah, and then there's gonna come a time when you're not relevant anymore. Oh, yeah, it's not because you're not funny Yeah, it's just because the tides aren't with you anymore. Yeah, there's nothing you could do You're always gonna have your 50 To 100 per show diehard fans, right? But that Mania that was once One day is no longer gonna be there Most guys quit most guys have nervous breakdowns

I thought about something And my wife looked at me. She caught me wiping my eyes. She was what is it now? You know that as we get older we get more fucking sentiment. No, I've always been one of those dude Really? I I I try to fight it. I hate when it happens like You know like a fight like when a fight happened when I'm watching boxing like remember when Bernard Hopkins won became the oldest Person to win a title

Yeah, it's not things I was supposed to make you cry It's like happy moments make you cry like seeing somebody win makes me cry like I but it's not sad It's like I'm happy for them. I get overcome with emotion
Starting point is 01:07:52 The worst is when you think you're going To cry a lot and you don't And then you start doubting your love or whatever. Have you ever had that situation? Not even 10 days ago one of my all-time favorite cats died Who his name is dibby. I had a cat. Oh a cat actual cat I thought you wanted to catch a girl with and for 14 years He was just a smart

So we took him to the event on tuesday and they said He was really in bad shape. Well lucky we brought him when we did he was having problems breathing and that day
Starting point is 01:09:26 I got on my hands and knees on him on the floor You know, his back was to me. He was he was so proud and he wanted to die in peace That he went in the cage headfirst Like he didn't want nobody to see him in that shape. The cats didn't want to be around them He finally came on his own And I kept talking to him And he came closer to me And I started talking to him talking to him talking to him
Starting point is 01:09:52 Just saying how good of a cat you were you were my friend How many nights like i'm home and I smoked pot with you And then we played that stupid game and at one point He wasn't moving like he was just staring onto the abyss And he was breathing heavy So he was puffing and I said something to him bro and he turned his head towards me Like that like for me to kiss his head. I kissed him. I cried a little bit. I got up and I said goodbye And my wife put him in the cage. She cried all the way to the car
Starting point is 01:10:27 And that was hitting I cried a little bit later and two days later.
