Creeper, thank you so much for coming on the show.

Hey, no problem, homie. Got to help out and everything. I appreciate you, man. So you're a Los Angeles-based personal trainer. That's what you do? Yeah, homie. I'm a fitness instructor, eh? Okay.

What's your background with fitness? You know, I just stay pretty active, homie. I was in a bad place, homie. I was like, hey, fuck the world. The world's against me. And I said, hey, Creeper, that's no way to live, homie. You know what I just stayed pretty active, homie. I was in a bad place, homie. I was like, hey, fuck the world. The world's against me. And I said, hey, creeper, that's no way to live, homie. You know what I mean? So I said, you got to get your mentee right and your physical también.

So I started to work out. And then folks started coming to me like, you know, like, hey, creeper, can I get a session? Like, damn, trip out, you know? Right. So then I developed a cholo fit routine. And then, you know, abracadabras or whatever, like, people started, hey, I'm into it. And I said, dang, you know, and so here we are, you know. Whatadabras or whatever like people started a I'm into it and I said dang, you know And so here we are, you know, what do you charge for a session? What's a creeper session? It depends on me like Last time okay. So like couple weeks ago. It was my it was my one of my younger Prima's

Her daughter. Well, so she's my pretty much to the Quintanilla so we need a lot of things? So I did a session the other day for some, this homie of mine has tables, a lot of folding chairs and tables. So, eh, that was rent-free, homie. I gave him a, you know, I didn't have to pay the rental fee for the tables. Oh, shit, okay.

And I gave him a session. So I'll barter, homie, you know what I mean? That's what I'm saying. Do you judge based on, like, can anybody come to you or is it kind of you have to fit into a mold? Nah, it's for everybody. Cholo fits for everybody homie yeah unless you like uh you're like a lame or you're negative or uh you're just annoying it's like hey homie then this is not for you right because i don't want to kick it with you right now could i do you think if i wanted to come to you to get cholo fit am i like am i yeah of course i could come on okay and as far as money

goes i'm kind of tight right now so is there something I could do in exchange for some of the lessons yeah homie I mean let me see I mean

like introduce you to some bankers maybe or there's a couple of whites that I know that you might like oh yeah

that's a good point homie you could get me into that those uh the white uh those social environment

or the social pipelines we call them for you know hey homie so I can take Cholo Fit to the next get investors or whatever homie

cause you know about that stuff that's kind of my thing yeah I'm one of the whites and I kind of am allowed to move seamlessly in different groups cause I'm a

orange white I'm a non-traditional white is what they call me yeah homie you're like kind of exotic yeah exactly I was just thinking that homie cause sometimes I'll get high notes that are like hey like I've never been with a Cholo or I've never been white is what they call me. Yeah, homie, you're like kind of exotic, eh? Yeah, exactly. I was just thinking that, homie, because sometimes

I'll get hyenas that are like, eh, like I've never been with a cholo, or I've never been with a fool like you that's a fitness instructor, and, you know, I haven't even been

with a blonde hyena, homie. Wait, seriously? Yeah, and I've never been with one, eh? But you have now. Exactly. Like a little handful. I don't want to brag, homie,

but it's a trip, eh? Blonde hyenas are, I didn't know this but I guess they're known to be curious so they're like hey you know like what are you about

and what's under those cut off sweats and I said damn yeah like what's up let's find out you know so yeah

so I think that maybe you might have that appeal like on some bucket list like you know Highness might be into like hey I've never been with a ginger vato

you know an orange ginger vato like you know what I kind of like that. An orange ginger vato, like, you know what I mean? Right. So it's like, dang. An orange,

yeah, a little bit more flavor. I look like I might be a little bit more spicy than some of the regular whites. Exactly. Because they're too vanilla and I look like

a little bit of paprika. I wouldn't consider you a regular white because it's like, oh, dang. And then you have the, you know, you have the beard

that's well-maintained and it's red, homie. It's like, what is this vato, homie? And you're fit, too,

también. Obviously, you do, you're in shape, you know? And it's like What is this vato homie And you're fit too Obviously you do You're in shape You know And it's like What do those You know What does a gingerful do

To work out You know Does he have a different rutina Or is it the same You know what I mean It's like I have a lot of questions You know what I mean

But I'm intrigued I don't want to get all Use big words But I'm intrigued homie I like Use as many big words As you want in this room What's the biggest word

Do you think you know What does that mean that means like when when when you say something that sounds like what it is like when i go it's like oh it's onomatopoeia you know oh right it's like a like that sounded it is what it sounded like like a you know it is what it sounds like yeah yeah it is what it sounds like like uh exactly homie that's the onomatopoeia yeah tell me this how do you stand where do you stand on uh latinx people try to infiltrate that in society latinx well you don't like it to me homie i mean it's hard eh for me to accept I mean I'm like if you wanna say that if you wanna call gente

eh Latinx Latinx or whatever um then do you homie I'm not gonna be mad at you for using that word

but don't get mad at me for not saying Latinx I say Latinos somos Latinos homie you know and Latinx eh

like my dad my props to the OG mi padre homie he's, he was telling me a story the other day. Homie goes, eh, mi homie, I saw this fitness thing on the Latinx channel. And I go, Latinx channel? And then it was a segment on the Latinx community, but this fool thought it was a channel. And I'm like, it does sound like a channel. Like, oh, you got the Latinx channel? but this fool thought it was a channel. Oh. And I'm like, it does sound like a channel. Like, oh,

you got the Latinx channel? You know, like. Yeah, it's premium. He thought it was a channel and I said, nah. I go, that's what they're saying to encompass, like,

and my dad was just like, what? They threw him off. And they go, homie, if you, they did surveys, homie, like, not that many fools, no, it's just gente

that's online or in the industry that is like, no, it's over, calling ourselves now. But if you go out into the calles, homie, if you go up to a, you know, a manguero or whatever and say, hey, you know what Latinx is? They're like, what? Que es eso, homie?

Right, they don't know what that is. You're trying to X me out? No, homie. Right, that's what it sounds like. Yeah. Latin X them right out of this society. That's what they're trying to do. Yeah, homie.

I'm sick of these whites that are trying to do this kind of stuff. And that's what I, I don't want to say it out loud. I said it. I know, but I'm glad you said it, homie.'m sick of these whites that are trying to do this kind of stuff and that's what I I don't want to say it out loud I said it I know but I'm glad you said it homie thank you because I feel like in the background

it's a white fool back there like hey you know what nah you know of course it's some white dude it's a snaky little white dude who's never met anybody from your community and he says

what's a good way for me to sneak in and judge other whites that's what all they're doing these are bad whites we don't mess with bad whites man nah nah we don't like bad whites the We don't mess with bad whites, man. No, no. I don't like bad whites.

The good ones, the exotic ones. Speaking of whites, egg whites. Do you eat egg whites or do you put the yolk in? I put the yema, homie, the yolk. The yema. That's the favorite. That's the best part, homie. That's what I like.

But see, as a fitness instructor, as a life coach, someone who's into fitness, what are the things that people should and shouldn't eat? Can you give us some of that? Yeah, I mean, my thing is, homieie everybody knows your own body you know what i mean yeah for me i like to a if i did my my feet in my workout and then i like to get a lot of cardio in you know i'll i'll run my five miles do you run you run like this yeah homie yeah because you get a more female workout you work the triceratops right there if you keep your elbows up okay

boom and then and then you could even turn. I'll even go to the side but go in that direction. Boom. That works the obliques. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Obliques. Yeah, yeah.

See? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Watch out what he does. Come on, man. He got a little accent, homie. Okay.

That's what's up. But yeah, homie, if you get that in, then I'll be like, all right, I'll have like a reward, you know, which is like I like donuts,

homie. Donuts are good. Donuts are good. What are we talking? Sprinkles? And pan dulce, homie. Like a concha, you know, like is like I like donuts. Donuts are good. What are we talking, sprinkles? Like a concha, you know, like that little thing. That's a reward. So you do something good, you get a reward.

Exactly, but you can't just be right there. You know, I have my energy tamales, which, you know, they're tamales that are a mixture of carnitas and peas too. And to, you know, it helps with your muscle recovery and everything, and it gives you a little energy, homie some folks be like oh hey energy tamales i didn't lose weight but you can't just eat them and then do nothing homie right you know i mean it's like when you drink an energy drink and then oh but i'm just right here to watch tv like hey but i'm focused

right now it's like no you need to go do something with your life yeah be active you know i mean so that's that's my answer to that like however many calories or however they say that you burn homie then a then you know then it's okay to have a donut here and there but a i would say try to eat things that will will help you things to move a to make you know to make you shit good okay yeah yeah because if the shit's moving then a then the universe is moving and then i'm not that good at calculations but that's a good one homie it seems to equal itself out that's what i'm saying the more you put in the more that comes out yeah get your fiber in there homie right so if you're shitting enough you can kind of eat almost anything that you want exactly homie basically you know and i and i man

you know because i'm getting older now and this and that eh and sometimes when i work out too much i'm drinking up water and all that then i I get a little, you know, you get stuck, homie. Or like, you know, when you're not having good movements or whatever, it's like it gets frustrating. It's like, dang, you know. You know, there's nothing worse, eh, than you look down at what you're creating in that moment and you look down and it's two little pebbles. Two little, yeah, two little pebbles.

Little rabbit pellets. I hate that. And it ruins your day, homie. You know what I mean? I get sad. You got to drink prune juice Like a vejito Like you're an old person

And shout out to the vejitos out there No disrespect But you know You don't drink prune juice like that homie But I will if I have to If I have to And then you sit in there like Ah dang

And you're pushing And don't push Don't push Yeah that's Don't push That's the thing homie No They say that's bad

It is bad But there was a Yeah You can prolapse your anus Do you know what that is Is that when Like when the weight lifters When they're dead lifting And their culo comes outside of their body It is bad. You can prolapse your anus. Do you know what that is? Is that when the weightlifters, when they're deadlifting and their culo comes outside of their body? Dang.

It's like, remember the snake you put your finger on when you were a kid? You know, the little thing you get at CVS and stuff? You put your finger on the snake and it wrapped around and all that stuff? And then you pull it. And you pull it. And then that's kind of what your anus does. It just falls right out. You push too hard, you can fall it right out. And it takes pull it. And you pull it. And then that's kind of what your anus does. It just falls right out. You push too hard,

you can fall it right out. And it takes a long time to get it back in. So be careful. Don't push. Do not push on the toilet. Dang. What if you had a homie

that was like, hey, you want to see a trick? And then he went like that and then, oh. And then you saw it's all like rectal kind of tight. As long as he can get it

back in there. Right? As long as he can suck it back in there right as long as he can suck it right back in if he got it back in he's like alright let's have a beer tight have a beer

that was crazy alright I'll pull that that's a party trick this rounds on me what are your qualifications creeper like how do you

did you go to school to to teach I mean like how do you how did you get to this point well yeah homie you know

I had a lot of time cause I was in a studio apartment. The walls were coming in on me. So I developed some, you know, some workout routines right there, homie. It just really gave me time to focus, to think about it. And, yeah, that was my thing right there, homie. So you did it all yourself. Nobody taught you at all? Pretty much, homie.

You know, I had some homeboys around me that were into fitness, but they were doing like the basic things and, you know, and all that. Burpees, you know, burpees worked on me. They're pretty female, you know, that's when you're, you know, because you have tight quarters in there when you're in a studio apartment, like some of us have been, you know, you only have this space to work with. So you do the burpee and, you know, you do enough of those as a female workout on me, but it was good to switch it up.

And then once I moved out of that studio apartment into the world, I was able to use other tools. When you say studio apartment, are you talking about a prison cell? Something like that, homie, yeah. I don't want to, you know, that's neither here nor there. It's in the past. I got it. Yeah, yeah.

Can you talk about why you went away for a little while? You know, I'd like to focus on right now. On moving forward. But it was nothing, you know, I didn't really hurt, I didn't hurt anybody homie. You know, I mean I just kind of you stole something Yeah, you know this and that a car trying to get better, you know a couple things Yeah, it was those things inside the car, too Well, I have a report that we pulled up online you tell me if any of this stuff is true Okay, tell me if any of it is true. Hey, boy people already do that research. Okay, so ready? Yeah

Stolen vehicle, yes or no? That I have done? Yeah. I mean, it was a long time ago. Okay. It was a Buick LeSabre. Does that ring a bell? It was a blue Buick LeSabre.

Yeah. Okay. Three catalytic converters. It was found on your property. Three catalytic converters. That's all they found. Okay. All right.

This is armed robbery of a local liquor store, but the arms was not a—it was found that it wasn't a physical weapon. It was a bike chain. You used a bike chain to rob a liquor store? Yeah. You know, I'm not going to point a gun at somebody, homie. That's an innocent person. Right. But the bike chain, what would you have done with the bike chain to rob a liquor store? Yeah. You know, I'm not going to point a gun at somebody, homie. That's an innocent person. Right.

But the bike chain, what would you have done with the bike chain? I mean, at the time, I was on narcotics, homie. So I was showing that fool. I was doing, like, somersaults and cartwheels, homie, with the bike chain and doing all that peddle. I get it. It made it look like I was a trained martial physician or martial artist on me.

Got it. And I was doing all that peddle because I was on one. I was smoking broken windows. You know, the crystal meth.

And so, it was, you know. Long time ago. Yeah, long time ago. But I was showing that about the woman

so he was like, dang. I didn't know bike chains could do like that. This says public indecency in Boyle Heights. Were you naked

at one point in Boyle Heights? Dang, that was in there yeah there's a it's all here but is that not real I mean this because some of the stuff wasn't confirmed you could have been acquitted of some of this stuff but was the public indecency well I was acquitted of that one homie but yeah I was uh but they do show up there and I was at my primo's house in Pacoima I was running down the street right there. But yeah, I was naked right there. Okay. But it was a summer, homie. Oh, it was the midsummer?

It was a summer, homie. Oh, well, I could see why that would get a quit. Yeah. There's a couple of things on here that were expunged. We had one of our research assistants back there do a couple of, just a few more things that we had found on here. This one says,

I don't know if I'm a little embarrassed to read this on the show, but, uh, this one says, kidnapping the elderly? You stole an old person at one? That was a bunk-ass charge, homie. Yeah? That was a bunk-ass charge. It was my tia, eh? Oh, oh, and so they thought you were

stealing her, because it says stolen from a, in protective care. No, and then when the hooda came, my tia, eh? Oh, oh, and so they thought you were stealing her because it says stolen from a protective care. No, and then when the hooda came, my tia has Alzheimer's, huh? Oh, wow. And she's not with us anymore. You know, bless her heart or whatever.

Sorry. But she had a good run, eh? She was 103, eh, when she passed, you know? Oh, seriously? Yeah. Wow. But when that happened,

you know, she was about 89 or something. How did she pass? What did she pass from? 103 is quite young. Yeah. So, I don't know. She went to sleep one night, homie.

And didn't wake up. And she left some frijoles de olla on the pan. They were burning. And everybody got all mad. Hey, what happened? And then they went and she was asleep, eh? Like forever. Which is, you know, that means you died, eh?

I'm sorry about that. And I apologize for that. I am sorry about that. And I apologize for that. I am sorry about that. No, no, she's cool, homie. But when the Hura came, when the police officers came, you know, she was like, oh, I don't know who this guy is.

And I'm like, hey, homie, she has Alzheimer's and my tia, you know? Right. But, you know, there was white cops, eh? So they're like, put your hands behind your back.

And I don't want to say the words that they said to me, but it wasn't Latinx, homie. They didn't call me that. You know? This stuff's got to stop. Put hands behind my back. Put me those bunk-ass charges when it was my tia, homie.

See, and this is why I do think that we... But there is one more. I'm not going to... I don't want to embarrass you at all. And I'm not going to... Again, I don't judge you, man, because I really like you. I think you're a great guy. No, I don't.

You don't seem like a person I would be judging. This does say 13 women were found in a residence at one time Again, I don't judge you, man, because I really like you. I think you're a great guy. No, I don't mean you. You don't seem like a person I would be judging. This does say 13 women were found in a residence at one time, and you were given the charge of, well, pimp is probably the proper term, but the male term for madam, I guess, it's pimp. It does say. So were you organizing a bunch of women? It was a self-help center, so I was already on my path.

I've always wanted to help people. Uh-huh. You know what I'm saying? So you weren't a pimp at any point? Because it did say half of the women were naked. Okay, homie, because sometimes clothing blocks positive vibes from getting out, eh? You know what I mean? I get that.

Because it's like, eh, who told us to put that? Just because that homie Adam and Eva, they ate the apple. They were naked, weren't they? Exactly, homie. And then they ate the apple because the serpent and this and that where you're talking about the serpent was like putting a school out like that. Like, hey, you want to see a trick? And they were like, hey, I'm going to eat this apple. And then next thing

you know, they're like, oh, we feel some way about our bodies. We have to cover it up. Next thing you know, corporations and consumerism and capitalism, eh, you have to wear this to be cool and We have to cover it up. Next thing you know, corporations and consumerism and capitalism, hey, you have to wear this to be cool and you have to spend this money.

And so I say, hey, you know what, child? Everybody take their clothes off. So they're not like, oh, you're not wearing, you know, what are you wearing? Kmart brand?

I got Target brand. Oh, to get rid of materialism. Exactly, homie. Oh, I like that a lot. And then to let your positive vibes go out. Right. You know?

Okay. Yeah, I would send them out there to be like, hey, if other fools want to experience your positive vibes, thenie. Oh, I like that a lot. And then to let your positive vibes go out. Right. You know? Okay. Yeah, I would send them out there to be like, hey, if other fools want to experience your positive vibes, then, you know, they should pay, homie. I like this a lot. See, this is the kind of positivity that needs to run through the world a little bit more. And yeah, women and men out there, if you don't feel like wearing clothes because your positivity is restricted,

take your clothes off. Take it off, homie, yeah. Take it off and let your positivity just push out into the world. I love this. I really do. I'm going to slingshot a couple of artists your way. You tell me if you like them or you don't like them. Okay.

Pitbull. I like that fool. He's good, huh? Yeah. Do you think he is Mr. Worldwide? In a,

in a lot of ways. Yeah. You know, just because, you know, I have a familia or my, my, my Tia's, whatever, they go crazy. I have, you know, just because, you know, I have a familia or my tias, whatever, they go crazy. You know, he gets the younger generations and the older ones, they go crazy for that fool. You know what, homie?

I'm not going to lie. I work out to some of that fool's music. You do. You know, because he comes out there, homie, boom, boom, like that, you know? I do. And he's like, hey, Mr. Worldwide, whatever, homie. And he's like, ah, ah, you know? Okay.

And he's in good shape, homie. You know, I get down with that, Vato, because even thinking about him right now, look. Look, you're bouncing. I'm like, whatever, homie. And he's like, ah, ah, you know. And he's in good shape, homie. You know, I get down with that, Vato, because even thinking about him right now, look, I'm rocking like that. I'm like, damn, homie, you know. Okay. So gracias por eso, Pitbull. All right, Pitbull.

What about J-Lo? J-Lo? Is she from the block? Yeah, you know, Jenny from the block. Yeah. No, no, she is. I know, but, you know, I know she, I don't know what she went to. Like, I know she's from the Bronx, homie.

She went to like a Catholic school in the Bronx, which is pretty female. But yeah, you know, she's been famous for a long time, homie. Right. But fools were hating on her when she got the Selena. I mean, the Selena thing is what popped her off, eh? True. So we can't forget that Mexicans are kind of what blew her up, you know? And they were like

Ah, he couldn't have been, he was real nice to me and he was just thinking about musica. We were like having a conversation and he was like, and I'm like, hey, what are you doing? He's like, oh, you know, he's working on another song in his mind right there. That's pretty brilliant though. He had a little production studio in his mind and He was like, dang. You can't turn that off, can you? Yeah. Like, right now, you're probably thinking about fitness stuff, aren't you?

That was running very late, but that happens. Frankie Quiones, thank you for coming to the show. Thanks very much. Sorry I was late. No late no no you're not sorry man it's uh i texted you multiple times i said you're gonna be late why don't you let me know and you said i'll do what i want to do bitch and uh that's how

Love Creeper, man. Yeah, yeah. So funny. Love him too.

Good guy. So look, I knew of you through the stand-up world. You're a hilarious stand-up. And I hit you up recently because I told you how much I love the show. Honestly, it's one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time. If you guys have Hulu,

you have to go watch the show right now. If don't have hulu that's crazy because i think they're just giving it away for free at this point so just go sign up for hulu yes you gotta go gotta go watch the show it's you uh chris estrada um who else have i seen on the show michael perioli yeah imperioli who incredibleopranos. It's such a good show. I will say this. My first thought was Sup Fool because of... Oh, Felipe? Felipe Esparza, right.

But you guys named it This Fool, and I was like... It was called Punk Ass Bitch. Oh, that was the original name? Yeah, yeah, but then when it got picked up, they. Oh, that was the original name? Yeah, yeah. But then when it got picked up, they were like, yeah, we might want to change the name. And the white executives came in and was like, listen, Punk Ass Bitch is not what we need to be saying.

But you know, Disney owns Hulu, so I was like, I don't know about that. Trust me, we're on Hulu too now and we're Disney. We're part of the mouse. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, it's FX. So we're subject to it. Yeah, they own everything. The first season was really, really good, man.

Honestly, if you guys haven't seen what's going on right now, go see the show. It's so funny. You guys got a second one or no? Who knows? Yeah, it's looking good, man. I mean, it's already being worked on, so yeah. I got to tell you, I don't want to spoil anything for the show, but the scene you have with your ex was, made me laugh so hard,

man. It made me laugh so hard, especially cause you're talking about the curvature, man. I just, I died laughing. I thought that was so fucking funny. And are they letting you improv on the show a lot or are you guys sticking to scripts?

No, no. Yeah. There's definitely a lot of improv and stuff like that. So, you know, um, all those guys have been homies for a long time.

So it was cool. Like before the, the writing started out there, you know, all those guys have been homies for a long time. So it was cool. Like before the writing started, you know, it was already known that I was going to play the role of Luis. So we just had a lot of fun with it. And then it was easy for them to write towards it. And then like they were kind of just throwing alley-oops. And I was like, yeah, I was just able to kind of be myself and then like do it up. And then, you know, Pat Bishop, Matt Engelbrunson. up and then you know pat bishop matt ingall brinson and then uh you know they directed most of the episodes then diego velasco directed a couple but

they would always give me my my takes you know or let you do your thing yeah yeah like all right frankie this one's for you all right you want to do another one all right cool then i'll just fuck around that's what i love i mean we try to do that sometimes on dave but i mean we do we improv i i i do a lot because i know at some point, if you don't get it your way, they're going to have it whatever way that they have it. So you're like, you just have to do it. You know what I mean? You're like, well, I have to say it.

Even if it doesn't end up in the cut. We just had a couple of cuts the other day, and I'm supposed to just wing out stuff just to try to get his attention to get him off the phone. And I was saying some wild shit, even though it's not going to make the cut, but you're like, but it's so much fun because you're like I have to do this you know like I was saying how like M. Night Shyamalan was uh you know he's not looking at me he's on his phone I'm like are you listening to me and he's like mm-hmm I'm like M. Night

Shyamalan is is uh redoing Schindler's List and he's like uh-huh and I'm like yeah the twist is that there's no Jews and he's like mm-hmmhuh. And I'm like, yeah, the twist is that there's no Jews. And he's like, mm-hmm. And I'm just going through all this bullshit to try to see if he'll crack, you know? If I was like, turns out, you know, dogs give you cancer. And he's like, uh-huh.

And he just has to stare at his phone. And so I did five minutes of just saying bullshit. And it's just like, that's when it's the most fun. When it's not fun is when it's 15-hour days and you're like, you got to do this shot, that shot, this shot, that shot. And then it gets tiring, right? It's hard. Oh, man, it's when it's the most fun. When it's not fun is when it's 15-hour days and you're like, you got to do this shot, that shot, this shot, that shot. And then it gets tiring, right? It's hard. Oh, man, it's exhausting.

And then, you know, I had a, you know, Luis has a bunch of tattoos, so you know how that is. Get covered up, yeah. Oh, dude, I got to go. You know, some mornings my call time was like, I think my earliest call time was 3.40. I'm like, 3.40? Yeah, just stay up.

Yeah, yeah, at that point you're like, damn, you to paint you they have to paint you every single day or no no it like for the first for the first run of it just because they were like so they kept my call times early just because they they're trying to get it down but once they got it you know get the groove of like how the tattoos are gonna sit and right how much know, they needed to use and how my skin was going to react to it, all that shit. So the first week was like, fuck, man. It was just like 4 a.m. call times. But after that, they're like, okay, now we got the hang of it. We know how your skin is and all that shit.

And so, you know, most of my call times are 5, 5.30. Was this your first series or no? Have you been a regular on something else? I was a regular on a show called My Roommate, My Friend. Or it's a sketch group I'm in called The Dress Up Gang. I know The Dress Up Gang. Yeah, yeah. So we had a show on TBS.

And I was a regular on that. And so that was, but that was my first time being a regular on a show. And then after that, I was just all cameos and doing. Right. But then this one was like. That's huge, man. I think it's great. I think it's amazing, man.

Especially to be on a show that's good that's a hard thing man sometimes you get on a show and it's yeah yeah no bueno I've done them

I've done a lot of bad shows I like I don't want to see anything I've done some bad shows but it happens man but you're always you're always on you're always on something

you try to keep hitting man you swing as hard as you can oh man but Dave's so good, dude. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. I was pumped to see you on there. But yeah, yeah.

But yeah, it's like you said. I'm always grateful for any work because work is work, and we're all trying to make it in this thing. But when you're on something that's like, boom, especially with this full, it's like, and it's so close to home. It's my family. It's everything. It's how I grew up.

It's like, bam. It was so just fun to do and it was like super important that it felt authentic, you know, because we see a lot of our shit on TV. It's like, oh, you almost had it.

You could tell like there was some hands in there that maybe didn't, don't know what's up. This one, it was like. You don't have, other than, other than some of the whites

that you named that are helping to put it together. No whites in the writer's room, right? There's some whites. There's always going to be whites in the writer's room. Why? There's always going to be whites in the writer's room. Why? Kick them out, dude. Kick out the whites, dude.

Have just all brown. Have all brown in the writer's room. We can't have that. Then it will go to shit. Oh, my gosh. Glasses. You can't have all brown, bro. Come on.

Let's be real here. No, but it is funny to think on that show. It's so L.A.-centric, so you're like, this is so, it's so direct, it's so literal of what you're talking about, right? Like, it's not, there's no other way that you could kind of tell that story unless someone has lived that story. That's what helped the most.

Like, you grew up, did Estrada grow up in L.A.? South Central, I mean, so, you know, the show's loosely based off his life. Okay. So, and then, you know, so it was super important to him that it was authentic. But even the whites that were on set or the producers and writers, they did a really good job. It was the first time I'd seen it, actually, where they're constantly checking in to be like, hey, is this legit right here?

Is this legit? Or how would you say this? Or would you, like, that's legit? You know, like, you know, they were like, concerned about it. Yeah, yeah, so it was cool because all the other experiences I had

were like, yeah, okay, let's go and everything. I just want to get the shot done and keep moving. When you guys want to talk shit about some of the whites, do you guys start speaking Spanish to each other?

Yeah, it's so funny. You got to hide behind the whites and let it, and then they're like, what are you guys talking about? And you're like, just the scene. Yeah, we say it, we's so funny. You got to hide behind the whites. And then they're like, what are you guys talking about? And you're like, just the scene. We say it with like smiley. You're that asshole. You're so dumb.

Yeah. That's got to be so fucking funny. That's so fun, man. And then the girl, the young lady that plays his... Oh, Michelle. His girl. Maggie. I don't even want to say what it is. Her that plays his... Oh, Michelle. His girl. Maggie. I don't even want to say what it is.

Her name is Maggie. Maggie, yeah. She's great too. Michelle Ortiz. The show is fitted with a lot of really, really talented people. So you can tell right away what's hard about TV nowadays is like sometimes they'll get one or two people right and there's five other people on the show that you're like, I don't know how they fit into the thing.

You know, like it just doesn't grab right or whatever but you guys really did it right and it's so funny because i'm from chicago and i moved to la 20 years ago and like living within the culture a little bit for a little while i mean that's my name cheeto that people call me yeah yeah it's because i used to play in a fucking uh this pickup game with all these mexican dudes and they would they would call me cheeto that's where that came from now you got orange leg hair dog. That's where that little bit I came from. They're like, fucking Cheeto dust man, look at Cheeto legs, eh? So that, that, like soaking up part of that culture was just so wild to me because as a kid, you know, it was mostly black and white that I knew in Chicago. I knew some,

like I knew some, there wasn't't there was some Mexican or some you know Dominicans or cute like some but not like it is out here obviously Yeah, coming out here and seeing the culture of it and like watching it come to fruition on TV for you guys It was great because I was like this is kind of the closest version I had seen even as an outsider of being like this feels As real and funny as it can be yeah you know what i mean but that is part of that shit his life in terms of him trying to do start because there was a there was a thing called homeboy industries here in los angeles where it's reformed gang

is that kind of what it's based on a little bit or no it's yeah i mean you know there's a lot of like those there's a handful of those places homeboy industry is obviously the biggest one yeah they're like super they're they're killing it to this day yeah it's a great it's a amazing place yeah like i got a lot of friends there a lot of homies and and um you know they're just constantly killing it father greg boyle you know that's right the father greg right he's the founder that's right yeah and he was like yeah but you know just coming from you know the writers and stuff like that it wasn't it's not based off like homeboy industries right you know, just coming from, you know, the writers and stuff like that, it wasn't, it's not based off, like, homeboy industries. Right.

You know, I don't want to ruin, you know, the ending of the show. I know, I don't want to say anything. Don't say anything. Yeah, yeah. So, but it's, but like, you know, we went in there to, you know, and Chris went into, to meet with those guys at Homeboy Industries and all that. And, you know, touch base with them and, you know, just kind of made sure, you know, it was like, hey, you know, just to show love and respect and all that stuff.

And then some of the, they're involved in some of the stuff. Like when we launched the show, they put like these like merch packets together where, you know, they were contracted to like, you know, Homeboy, people from Homeboy Industries were delivering stuff. Oh, that's dope. Like, along with their stuff, they would, you know, if somebody wanted to order, like, a This Full or a Hugs Not Thugs mug or, like, a This Full mug. Oh, that's great, dude. It would get delivered by homeboy industries. Oh, wow. And Jamar Neighbors is on it, too, who I love.

Jamar is wild, man. Jamar is one of those guys where he is a beautifully soft, sweet soul, but also could kill you because he's so fucking strong. Oh, dude, he is. He could rip soul but also could kill you cause he's so fucking strong could rip your torso from your body oh yeah he's so jacked when he

sometimes he comes to the store and he just takes his shirt off and I'm just like this motherfucker is the most cut dude I've ever seen in my life but he plays that character on the show so well too

about like being in control but also being like a sweetheart man so you grew up in LA we talked a little bit before the show you well, too, about being in control, but also being a sweetheart, man. So you grew up in L.A. We talked a little bit before the show. You grew up in L.A., and then Chris grew up South Central. You grew up out. You grew up out, right?

Yeah, I grew up. Well, I grew up in Ventura County. Well, I was born in San Fernando, lived here when I was little. Valley boy. This way. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then we moved to Ventura County, which is like Oxnard.

Most of my family lives in Oxnard, Camarillo, Ventura, that area. But there's like, it's mostly like, my memories are strawberry fields, homie, you know? It's all strawberry fields out there, right? Yeah. And so, you know, my mom used to pick strawberries. My dad would pack lemons on trains. Like, it was like an agriculture thing, you know? Well, because that's all that's up that way, right?

It's mostly, it's all like migrant workers and yeah and then because once you get past there you're almost in middle california middle you know what do they call it like bakersfield and all that shit and out that way oh you go east yeah yeah yeah central and all that yeah but you know going past that you're starting to start to santa barbara and all yeah yeah but but uh so what your parents both grew up. Well, you were growing up. I mean, your parents are both working, packing and working and stuff like that. Yeah, and then, you know, but they started moving on up.

My dad learned how to be a carpenter. Real chill dude. But always had a lowrider. Always Chuck Taylors, Dickies. My dad was old school like that. You know, still. Where is he from? Oxnard.

He's born and raised in Oxnard. Born and raised, yeah. We have family in the Valley, but he was working out in the Valley a lot, and then so they moved here, and then that's when they had me. Right. You know, in San Fernando.

When did you start doing stand-up? Oof. 2005. Did you go to school? Did you go to college? Yeah, yeah. San Francisco State. You went to SF State.

Yup. That's where I started doing comedy in San Francisco. So that's why like a lot of the LA homies, they always thought like, like all the dude from San Francisco. But I was like, nah, homie, I'm from down here. But that's where I started doing stand-ups. It was like, but yeah, yeah. I loved San Francisco.

That whole scene, it was a great place to hone the craft. You know, you get a lot of stage time there and stuff like that. I was going to say, there's a lot of, I mean, even before I even started going up there to do shows, when I would go to visit, I would hear about a lot of comics because I was always so interested before I even jumped in. And there was a million places that people could get up out there. I mean, it was so wild. Oh, yeah, it was good.

Way more than down here. You could be like a few months in, and you can get like seven, eight minutes, ten minutes, and you're like, you know, here it's like. Not down here. Yeah, no. You got to pay five bucks to get three minutes, homie. You pay five bucks to, eight minutes, 10 minutes. And you're like, you know, here it's not down here. Yeah. No, what's not with my bucks to get three minutes on me. You pay five bucks,

get three minutes. You got to drive a half an hour to go get some, to some shitty bar in orange County. I did so many of those fucking things where I just drive for an hour and a half to do five minutes and then go home more sad and more broke than you were when you first fucking left. Yeah. Ah, you got to pay your dues, man.

But yeah, I remember, oh man, doing some of those rooms, driving all far, like you said, to some noisy-ass bar. Some shitty-ass bar. And they don't want you there. There's a TV on. In here, we pour whiskey. This episode of Whiskey Ginger is brought to you by Rabbit Hole Distillery

and their one-of-a-kind Kentucky bourbon and rye whiskeys. What I love about these cats, I've been talking about them for a while now. I love Rabbit Hole. I love jumping on the hole with them. Each of their bourbons are made from distinct one of a kind recipes using specialty malted grains that you won't find anywhere else, baby. Also, a lot of people are talking about small batch. That can mean a thousand barrels. Who knows? Rabbit hole does extreme small batch. It means under 15 barrels, under 15 barrels. They could fit in this room that I'm in right now. That's pretty impressive. You know the quality is going to be there

in every single bottle. And a lot of people are talking about toasted barrels and all that jazz. Every single one of Rabbit Hole's four expressions

is aged in both charred and toasted barrels, baby. You're going to get the flavor that you've always wanted and it's never chill filtered just as it should be. Just as it should be. Rabbit Hole,

this stuff is great. You can find it at any store near you. I've been drinking the High Gold. I like this stuff. I was stuck on the Cave Hill for a while, which is also another good one, but High Gold is my new favorite. They also have this finished in sherry casks,

if you like the Derringer, if you like to feel more risque, a little bit of 1920s, sherry casks. I don't know what I'm talking about, but try one of their four expressions, Cave Hill, High Gold, Boxer Grail, or Derringer. You can go grab them at any liquor store near you.

And then I stayed in it because I liked a girl in there. That's what it is. Yeah. I was going to say, what is it, bro? It's either money or a girl. It's either like they were paying me to do it and I just enjoyed it or it was like there was a female I couldn't get out, man.

But you think, I got to do something to impress them somehow. So whatever I got to change, I'll, like, you know, go out of my way to look dumb. Or do the thing that I think might be the thing that they would like. They don't like that shit anyway. You know what I mean?

this whole time. Yeah. You want technology. You're making a lot of money on it too. That is the craziest shit. Yeah, you are subject to the thing. That's why when someone's like, why would you give them that kind of information? It's like, dude, they have everything. Like I did because we travel so much. I did clear and pre-check and all that bullshit.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I got all that shit. And then people were like, wow, that's so stupid. Why would you... It's like, you think they don't know anything? Yeah. What the fuck do you think

that they don't know? Yeah. If you got a phone, if you ever have an email, they got all your shit. Yeah. Do you have a driver's license? They got you.

Yeah. Like, now when you travel, they got to make you... They're trying to make everyone get that thing, that real ID. Do you know what that is? Oh, I got it. Oh, you already got it.

Yeah, I got the real ID, TSA, pre-check. Damn. The real ID to me, I didn't like. You had to go back in to go get it. It's like a second driver's license, right? Well, yeah. I kind of, I was re-upping my license anyway.

And they give it to you. Yeah. See, that's my whole thing. It's another piece of bullshit. I'm like, why do I need it? Can't you just have an electronic version of this bullshit now? Exactly. Scan my eyeballs, bro.

It's just a hustle. Because, you know, you have to pay extra to make it a real ID. Right, right, right, right. And it's like, you know, I was talking about calculations earlier. I'm not that good at it, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot of money.

Only if you're telling everybody, no, you need this to travel now. It's like, oh, fuck. I think about that sometimes. I'll get in my head whenever I go back, whenever I go to New York and you'll see

if you cross the bridge and how much money it costs for people to go in and out of the city. And I'm always like, how many fucking people are doing, how much money it costs to like, you know For people to go in and out of the city and I'm always like how many fucking people are doing how much money they're making Millions of dollars a day just like people going in and out of city You don't even think about it because you're like I have to pay it. I don't have a choice But it's like where's all that fucking money going? Where the fuck is all this money? Like who's who is getting all this money?

Like whenever I think about that whenever I like I pay taxes or any of that bullshit I'm always like who's making all this fucking money? Where the fuck is this going? Who's the dude that gets your money and goes, all right, I know what to do with this shit. Yeah, yeah. You know? And they blow it and ruin it. I know just the thing.

I know just the thing. Looking at some property in Palm Springs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're buying houses on our ass. That's the big hit, right? Like, look, you know, not to talk too dirty about it, but, like, when you get a good TV show, you get a nice hit, right? Like, look, you know, not to talk too dirty about it, but like, when you get a good TV show,

you get a nice check, right? And then you see what they take from you. Because the first time I ever got a show... Now it's like a whole different ballgame. Now you're like, I'll see like an article on a bill that's passing and it's like... And I'm like, oh, shit.

You become a Republican now overnight, right? I'm not like that. I'm still about one love. But it's so funny though. You're like, wait, why are they taking more money? Exactly. It just makes you pay attention a little bit more. I was already paying attention.

The more you make, the more you pay more attention to it. For the longest time, most comics, right? You come from humble beginnings. I moved out here with no money. And for a long time, I was broke, broke. And, not to say it was any harder

because I wasn't from here, but like, I wasn't, there was no home for me here. So it was tough. Yeah. I kind of was like, had to figure it out.

I was able to couch surf with like family. See, that's great. I'm jealous of that, man. You know, like,

I couch surf with friends or we meet people, but it was so tough to be so broke for so long that like, when you get a little bit of love in comedy, especially comedians

You're like, holy shit. They're gonna pay me to do this thing. Yeah, you know, I mean, you're like, holy fuck They're gonna pay me to be I remember the first time I got $20 into free drinks. I was like, here we go, baby Spent it that night. I do I do it is kind of wild to think that like cuz then you get if you get a little bit further along in the game it is funny how your perspective shifts of like, I just got all this stuff, man,

you're gonna take it, they're gonna grab it from me. Dude. It is kind of wild. And I'm like, when I get hit with that tax bill or you see how much taxes they take,

you're like, what the, you can't factor in the fucking last 15 years I was broke as fuck. Yeah, yeah. Don't I get some leeway from the old days?

35 years old sleeping on my homie's couch, you can't factor in that shit when I'm there crying myself to sleep every night talking about, oh, I'm gonna make it in comedy one day. Like, come on, homie. Give me the leeway from the old days? I'm 35 years old sleeping on my homie's couch. You can't factor in that shit when I'm there crying myself to sleep every night talking about, oh, I'm going to make it a comedy one day.

Like, come on, homie. Give me the leeway. Give me back taxes on that. Nope. That should be back taxes. Did your parents, when you told them you wanted to do this shit,

were they all about it? Oh, yeah. They're the reason I did it. They always had stand-up on the house. Like, dude, so my dad was 16, borrowed his sister's car and my mom was 14. They went on their first date. Right. Like, dude, date. So my dad was 16, borrowed his sister's car.

My mom was 14. They went on their first date. Right. They're still fucking together. One of their, they love old, they all have old school funk music. They would go to that shit. My sister's name is Tina Marie after Tina Marie. No way.

They went to Rick James's funeral. They're like about, it's like the religion. Wow. And then stand up. And they were, they would always have it on in the house. And when they were dating, they would go to the improv, the store, you know, drink in the parking lot and have their two sodas for their two-drink minimum. And, man, they would tell me.

They got stories, man. So when did your dad have you? At 16 or 17? How old was your dad when he had you? No, no, no. My dad was, I think my dad was like 20, 21. And then my mom was probably like 17, 18. Yeah, yeah.

But your parents are still young. I mean, that's wild, man. Yeah, yeah. That's great. It's crazy. Now we're just like homies. Your friends. Because I'm 42, and my mom's like,

we're closer in age now as you get older. It is funny how much closer you become as you get older. So what was the stand-up that was around when you were a kid? Like, what did they like the most? Oh, man. I mean, it was funny. Even when I was a kid, they would let me watch Eddie Murphy. Hell, yeah.

Richard Pryor, George Carlin. Paul Rodriguez was the first dude I saw that looked like me on there. You know, my mom really loved Louis Anderson. Was Lopez big in the house? Yeah, when he came. But I was already already you know when when when george popped it was i was in uh i was living in san francisco at the time already you know because he was that's when he dropped the why you crying special i already knew who he was kind of

because i was already kind of following stand up but when he dropped that why you crying special gosh damn homie i remember just i was jumping up and down by myself in the living room just like because because it's just funny to say that like and down by myself in the living room, just like, fuck! Because it's just funny to say that, like prior to him, like there wasn't a lot of like, you know,

Freddie Prinze was way ahead of our time, you know? I mean, he died in like the 70s, did he kill himself? 70s or 80s? Maybe it was the 80s? I think it was late 70s or late 80s. And then a lot of,

there was a big gap for commercial, like any sort of Latin comedian at all until, late 70s early 80s and then a lot there was a big gap for commercial like any sort of Latin comedian at all until yeah you know really

until the 90s started to like pop around and then guys would come through and then yeah P-Rod Paul's

P-Rod's dad Paul Rodriguez like he kind of became the biggest of that of that fucking crew oh for sure man

and then since it's all it's been you know obviously there's way more but it is so funny because that's there wasn't a ton of them for you to say that that was the first person you saw look like you on tv that is kind of strange huh because before that you didn't see any of that shit ever no it was like there was no representation of it whatsoever it is weird though there wasn't in comedy especially but now i mean it's a different world you know and you guys are the ones like i know this sounds really corny but it's like it's great to see like you know this fool is cracks the mold for those things to continue for other comics to be like yo that's like me i look like that yeah yeah yeah that's that's kind of what i think is so beautiful about it is that as

the business grows and changes and expands and puts on great stories with good creators then you're like it does show a little, you know, like a little fucking Mexican kid in LA who wants to be a comedian is like, oh shit, something looks like me on TV. Yeah, yeah. Instead of, you know, another fucking sitcom of two guys, a girl and a pizza place

or whatever the fuck, whatever they call that shit. Yeah. You're late again, you know. You're late again. You're late again, you know. You're late again. You're late again, Marcy. No, but it is kind of cool because it's, you know, like around my house, kind of the opposite. Like my parents weren't into stand-up. Comedy was kind of like my secret little dirty love.

Like I was embarrassed to tell them I wanted to do stand-up. Oh, shit. Because it was just, I just thought it was, I thought that they would be like, that's a fucking stupid that's fake get a real job right right yeah yeah so i was so scared for years and then i've when i finally admitted them you know i could have easily told them i wanted to act like that was more plausible for for them in their mind but when i finally admitted they were like we know i was like oh you oh really they're like yeah we knew what the fuck you're always a you were a fucking little asshole goofball i was just scared to say it you know what i mean yeah yeah it's hard man it's a weird thing even today we talk to people about you know when somebody who doesn't know you and then you meet

someone you're like oh i do i'm a comedian and they're like oh you're a comedian yeah immediately they make you feel less than because you're because our job for some reason seems fake. Right, right, right. Exactly. And then all of a sudden you're on a hit TV show. Oh, you're on TV. Then they're like, I'm a comedian. Yeah, yeah.

Like, oh, wow. You're a real comedian. Yeah. On TV and everything. Where can I see your stuff at? It's on Hulu. And they go, no, I don't know it. I don't have Hulu.

I like when they go. Who has Hulu? I like when they go, you know, I've never seen your stuff at it's on Hulu and they go no I don't know it I don't have Hulu I like when they go who has Hulu I like when they go you know I've never seen your stuff and you're like okay yeah yeah

you're like cool man I'm gonna be just fine yeah what the fuck what do you want me to say I've never seen you know I've never

heard of your stuff I've never even seen any of your stuff and then they name when somebody who doesn't know you do comedy and they name a comic

you know and they go you know who I'd like or they name a comic who do they do to you when they say like like I hear a lot know, and they go, you know who I'd like? Or they name a comic, who do they do to you? When they say like, like I hear a lot of times someone will go,

oh, you're a stand-up, yeah? And they'll go, you know Sebastian? Like people, they fucking love Sebastian. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know Sebastian? Oh, yeah, I know fucking Sebastian.

Like they do that to you and they're like, you know this guy? You're like, yeah, no, I know the guy. I know who that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah,

I get that all the time, man. No, you like him? You're like, yeah, man. Yeah, yeah, we're cool. But there's nothing else to say. It's so strange. I know the guy I know who that is yeah yeah oh yeah yeah I get that all the time no you like him you're like yeah man yeah yeah we're cool but there's nothing else to say it's so strange

alright where are you going with this you're like what do you want me to fucking say you want me to talk shit about him I was like what would you be looking for to be like I fucking hate that guy

no but they do always want to like that vibe always is what scared me into admitting that I wanted to do stand up like did you know did you know you wanted to act? Or was that kind of like a second came second? So, stand-up was my first love.

And then, you know, in my stand-up, I storytelling do voices kind of already. So, I was like, and then, you know, it led into the character work. And then, you know, that stuff went viral. And then it kind of led in there. You know, I was already filming sketches on my own and stuff like that, so I was kind of already developing that skill or whatever. But yeah, yeah. And I was able to take some acting classes, get an acting coach and stuff like that.

Not too intense, but just to help me kind of fine-tune it. When you first did acting coaching, when you first did coaching, were you bugged out by it a little bit? Like you first started doing it like oh when i got one yeah yeah i felt weird it's weird as shit it's weird as shit having someone tell you how to how to say stuff is weird but it was it was funny it was like um you know uh dave chappelle i asked him one time like because i've had an opportunity where I'd be, like, in some green rooms, and it's only, like, a few people or whatever, and I asked him one time, I was like, hey, man, which was stupid, like, it was a long time ago, so I wouldn't ask him this stuff, but I was like, but, you know, he was being cool, and I was

just like, man, just like, if you had to drop just one advice, you know, to, like, to a dude, like, or whatever, like, up-and-comer or whatever he's like take acting classes you know is that what he said yeah it's the one that's what he said wow and then there's no way he's ever taken a fucking acting have you seen this motherfucker act he's no i'm kidding this dude is terrible no no but that was his thing he was like he was like that's my piece of advice to you take acting classes he's like man you might not think you need them but watch and i was like all right well because he of advice to you. Take acting classes. He was like, man, you might not think you need them, but watch. And I was like, all right.

Well, because he went to like a school for the arts, I think, is where he went. Oh, really? Yeah. I can't remember the name of it, too. I just watched a little. He did like a little piece about it. Oh, the anti-trans school for the arts, I think is what it was called. The anti- That was it.

Prestigious. We're going to teach you about a lack of tolerance. Oh, fuck, man. No, he's fucking Chappelle. Great dude. No, but honestly, I get that. I mean, that's a good piece of advice, too, because you can't tell a comedian...

There's no advice to give to a comic. Yeah, and with that being said, I wasn't... I mean, even with the acting class and the acting coach, it was probably like six months worth of the you know i'm not like still actively you're like i gotta get out of this fucking shit yeah it's just you know i gotta go bro i gotta get the fuck as a comic it's hard to not make fun of that stuff whenever you get involved yeah i had to like apologize for laughing i would be like like i'll be like because it was it's funny you know you have to do all that shit. My mother, man. All that shit.

It's so hard to not be like, this is so dumb, dude. I got to leave. Look, but it is good. It is like, it's healthy for you. How do your parents feel now? Sorry. No, they're stoked. They're good.

But they're not connected to this world whatsoever, right? Like, they live in Chicago. LA is like a fantasy town. It's fake.'s not real it's it's weird to them it's like they can't believe i'm still out here but they're stoked for me but also you know they're not connected to it right like like just because we're not from here like this is it's kind of wild like they're happy for me they're proud but there still is like a uh that's crazy that you do that you know like it's still kind of fucking nuts and it is it is nuts yeah but i mean do anybody make it in this game it's nuts but it is also weird because they don't you know it's it's so different from their lives like they live my parents you know my old man's

retired now my mom's about to be retired. And they work jobs their whole fucking lives. And regular ass jobs. And so this is weird. I don't come, you know, you meet a lot of people

in this industry, they all came from, their mother was an actor or their dad was a producer or, you know, like my uncle's a director. We came from a bunch of fucking firefighters,

cops, and sales people or, you know what I mean? Blue collars, fuck. Yeah, it's just kind of, you know what I mean? Blue collar as fuck. Yeah, it's just kind of, we came from, so this is weird

as fuck. It's weird. They're proud, but it's weird as fuck. There's no doubt. They'll always have those comments where they're like,

we didn't really like that one that much. You know, whatever. It's like, okay, I don't, I get it,

but they're like, no, no, you did good, but I didn't like the, you know, like I did this fucking Kevin Hart movie and my parents were like you were funny

we did not like the movie at all and I was like thanks I was like I get it it's all good but that's kind of the vibe that they have

you know what I mean yeah yeah I mean your parents are proud as fuck huh oh yeah they're pumped I mean there was definitely like you know because it's a marathon

you know making it so it was like there was definitely a while where they were like, come on, man like you got to get a real job or like Like, you know, we're not saying like give up your dreams, but come on, but they were they were like they were saying give up You're fucking dream. Yeah, I mean were they help me It's a narrow road to it is there's a lot of people trying to make it in this shit, you know but I was like Like it if there's anybody that's gonna believe in you make it in this shit, you know? But I was like, if there's anybody that's going to believe in you, it's got to be you, you know? That's it.

Even though I felt like a piece of shit, my self-esteem was at an all-time low when I'm in my 30s sleeping on my homie's couch, you know? He was like, you know, he was charging me 200 bucks a month to sleep on his couch. And I was like, all right, cool. That's all I had to come up with. Pay myself a bill, pay that 200 bucks, and I was doing stand-up, you know? But it's like, fuck, man, I couldn't invite girls back. I couldn't do none of that shit. I was just like, all right, this is my life, you know?

But deep down, I always knew. I was like, this is why you're here, you know? Which it sounds cheesy. No, it's not, man. But I'm like, this is why the fuck God put me on this fucking planet or whatever you want to say, because I never doubted that.

Even though I was insecure in a lot of other ways, that was one thing I was like, nah, homie, this is it. This is what you're here for i think that's fine that's the mentality you have to have right like otherwise it just stops and it goes away you know what i mean like i'm sure you started with a bunch of people that aren't around anymore i started with people that just don't do it anymore it's just yeah yeah because sleeping on the couch for a while it's tough yeah did you have a day job you have a shitty day job for a while too? Yeah, I was like, man, I worked at a hardware store. And then I worked at a shipping and receiving job doing pallets and all that shit.

That's when I started doing stand-up. And then I was, you know, busing tables. And then when the whole, like, Postmates, food delivery, DoorDash thing started, I started doing that. I had to get, like, my fucking whatever dui possession charge like drop so i had to come up with money to pay the pay the pay the court fees to get my shit expunged so i could deliver food such bullshit gosh damn homie it was just like when did you get a dui how long ago a long time ah yeah yeah it was uh it's been about 10 years or something but but you know after five years you can, like, get it expunged

if you haven't fucked around anymore, you know? Which is such bullshit. What a racket. Yeah. They're like, we'll erase it if you give us more money. Dude. And it was like, I had, like, fucking cocaine and ecstasy on me, all this bullshit.

Were you on shit? I was, but I was driving cool. Officer, I'm cool dog i was like let me in the back room are you not cool officer are you not cool man dude the thing was is they pulled me over because my homegirl behind me was tailgating me you know and so and uh so they knew it was something i wasn't swerving Nothing I was cruising Homie You know what I mean I'm like I got this

And then And yeah They pulled us over And then I did the whole pedal You know 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 Z, Y, whatever

And But then my pupils Are dilated That's how he knew And then They brought their little chart out With the little black circles And they're like
