It's good to be in something from the ground floor. I came too late for that. I know. But lately I'm getting the feeling that I came in at the end. The best is over. Many Americans, I think, feel that way. I'm glad somebody respected that.

I thought, I'm gonna get like, this is gonna be great, people are gonna love me for this, and then just strata. Everyone in the comments thought you did it, you get like, this is going to be great. People are going to love me for this. And then just Estrada. Yeah. Everyone in the comments thought you did it. You were like going and meeting a girl because you're getting so much pussy. That's a good thing for them to think. I'll go with that.

Let them think that. It wasn't my Puerto Rican friend, Jordan Lopez at the gold room where we just got hammered. Yeah, you weren't hanging out with just another man sadly in a bar. Yeah. It was a hot chick. It was hot. So we. It was a hot chick. So we're here with a big star. Chris Estrada.

Oh, come on, guys. I'm a regular guy with just more talent and money than all of you. Just your average Joe who could buy a house. Just your average Jose, you know. Just a thespian. Thespian, yeah. Thespian. Yeah. You might recognize me from who lose this phone. average joe who could buy a house jose you know just a just a thespian that's being just yeah that's being yeah you might recognize me from who lose this phone yeah i saw you uh you were on a kimmel right i was on the other day that's right or how was that like a couple weeks ago that was no a week ago a week ago how was it was it all right is it like nerve-wracking and shit or

it was a trip when i came out i was just like looking it, is it like nerve wracking and shit or? Nah, it was a trip. When I came out, I was just like looking at him. I was like, wow, this guy's fucking real. Yeah. He's like a real person. Yeah.

Yeah. Did you bond with Guillermo? Yeah. The one time I'm there, fucking Guillermo's not there. What? Oh my God. Bullshit.

That's because he's filming season two of This Fool. He's the new lead. This Fool, we go to New York. You're just working for Jimmy Kibble the whole season, too. I'm the new security guard. You just swap with him. You said you actually got an acting coach and everything for that, huh?

Because when they said that it was going to happen and you were going to film a whole season did you like not only did i start panicking i not only did i panic they said let us get you an acting coach they said we'll pay for it and they didn't leave it up to any they're just they they they insisted yeah they were like we trust chris he's got chops they saw two mediocre sketches i was in and and they were like, this guy needs an acting coach. Yeah, they dug up Stella Adler. Oh, man. Chris, I'm happy you're here, because on the way here, Joey and I got stuck in those, you're

the only person I know from LA that hates this. Those bicycle gangs, those dudes on the bicycles. Those fucking commie pieces of shit. I fucking hate those people. What are they fucking called? Like Midnight Mob or whatever? They all have a really gay name. I didn't realize there was a political message behind it, but they were being aggressive and they were like,

we own the road. They ride around like it's communist China. They're on their pigeon bikes and it's like a fucking 300 pound dude doing a wheelie on his bike and he like he like hits your car and then yells at you he's like what the fuck fool and you're like what you hit me i know i have no respect for those guys the other day like my girlfriend got mad at me because i would roll the window down and go, you fucking losers. I was telling Joey, I was like, dude, if my car, first off, if my car window worked and I could roll it down. And if I could get away quick, I was considering rolling my window down at a stoplight. Be like, hey, just so you guys know, you look really gay.

Anybody who's riding a bicycle for fun, if you're not an older man that needs to ride it because you got a DUI... Exactly. You better be a fucking busboy or have a DUI if you're on a bicycle in the middle of the city. I hate people on bicycles just casually on a major city street. Like in Little Tokyo.

It's so annoying. I really don't think I could think the city's not built for it i hate and those fools are arrogant they're really arrogant and they think because the city made a little bike lane that that means yeah like you i'm still almost killing you every time i fly by you yeah you're on a piece of tin no it's crazy when they ride in the middle of the lane if there's no bike lane they'll just be like, oh, I'm a car. Yeah, they act like a car. And they go, oh, I'm a car.

I'm going seven miles per hour. But I'm going to run a stoplight. Awful people. I honk at them. I've gotten insolvent. Dude, I had a guy. I've thrown shit at them. I had a guy bash, like start punching my back window of my car.

He should have reversed and ran them over. Well, he was upset because I almost killed him. was a little he was a little pissed off he had a death near death experience because maybe he had a point yeah yeah i don't i i hate those guys and they write there's just something so childish to me if you're in like you're in your 30s and you're calling all your friends a hundred of us are to go meet and ride bicycles. You're an adult, you fucking loser. You're an adult. I know.

And just make it really dangerous for 30 seconds everywhere we go. The only thing more embarrassing is the rollerblade guys. Who are those people? They meet at Weller Court in Little Tokyo. I've never seen those guys. And they rollerblade and they have lights in their rollerblades. And they just, I would say like 50 of them run around in packs,

and one of them has a boombox, and it's the most embarrassing goddamn thing. Do they kind of stay in that area? I don't know. I've never tracked their full route, but I know they go through my apartment complex and around Little Tokyo, and I don't know how far they go.

Probably not that far. You can't go that far in rollerblades. No, you can't. I think they're going from a furry convention to a bestiality convention. At Union Station they're always there too. That's their hideout.

I get skateboard guys. I get groups like 50 skateboard guys. Skateboarding's kind of cool though. It's cooler than rollerblading. Wayateboarding's kind of cool, though. No. Yeah, it is. It's a fucking child's toy. Way cooler than rollerblading and bicycling. But if you're like 35 and you're skateboarding, what the fuck are you doing? What are you doing? Those fucking...

You're never going to be Tony Hawk. I like the kids, though. Yeah, and then the kids, the skateboard... I like kids that skateboard. There are skateboard kids. Yeah, Richie loves kids. Yeah, I saw that coming. Richie's all about kids.

I saw myself up in kids. Richie's all about kids. I've loved kids for a long time. No, but the bicycle guys will literally get and they'll like open up the doors and then He loves kids. Yeah, I saw that coming. Richie's all about kids. I saw myself like that. Richie's all about kids. He loves kids for a long time. Yeah. No, but the bicycle guys will literally get, and they'll, like, open up the doors and then slowly just pile through the station. And they're like, there's, like, old people

and, like, homeless schizophrenics there. They're almost, like, crashing into every three seconds. That's good. Shake them up a little bit. Yeah. I mean, come on. You know, give them a little, like, what are you doing? Because there's so many levels to bicyclists.

The cops will chase them. It's the worst. There's, like, the, you know, yeah, the worst. There's the guy with the DUI. There's the broke bus boy with no car. Fake spot. There's these dudes that think they're cool doing it. And then there's those rich white people that dress like they're in the Tour de France. Dog, they wear a Pierre outfit.

I'm like, you're on Vermont. You're on Western. There's nothing French about this. The fucking asshole has like a camel pack, like, you know, to hydrate on his big ride up Sunset Boulevard. Yeah, it kills me. It kills me. I don't feel, if I hear they die, I don't really feel it. Well, it's like manslaughter if you hit one of them.

That's what's annoying. No, that's what annoys the fuck out of them. They're super putter about that. It's vehicular manslaughter. Yeah, it's not murder if you kill one of them. But you still are in a lot of trouble.'ll do like four years yeah yeah that's insane no that but that's work but that pisses them off they want to be like you killed me that's like doing four years for a bug hitting your car like yeah if i had that much anger in me at one point

and have shit going on you would go it's just worth it to kill one of these motherfuckers when i was doing postmates and shit like that and you're just having a stressful you would go it's just worth it to kill one of these i know when i was doing postmates and like that and you're just having a stressful shitty day when i'm doing postmates i wanted to clip them so hard they were the regular guy just the nice doing postmates look at these i'm doing postmates now are you serious no way when you showed up yeah he's ordering post we filmed this because here's the thing we filmed this like short film at my place

and then the next day Chris came back to get some of the equipment and he was driving like a I was driving a beat up it was like a jalopy

I was like this fool's not paying that well I guess huh Chris like what's it was like he drove a donkey here you're like dude

poncho fucking spend some of that for his fool money I told him I was like, oh, Devin, my dad passed away. This is the only thing he had. It's a donkey. It's a donkey. And I was like, you know, my father died in my arms. It's a burrow.

It's a burrow. Jackass. Look at these assholes. Look at these guys. See, on the other side... How do you not hate that? On the other side, they're also really cocky and have the opposite opinion.

They think we're all assholes. They drive their car to bicycle. In the middle of the road. Like, right off the fucking 10 freeway. It's tiring. Oh, man. Oh, man. Big memory. 10 freeway it's tiring oh man oh man big marmory two minutes how this got taken over by like cool like like inner city guys i'm asking you because this is one of my favorite things about you

what neighborhood this is my favorite chris estrada thing all right let's try and get a look he's the ferdinand magellan of los angeles He's the Christopher Columbus of knowing where every 7-Eleven is. Car is parked. This is my favorite parking in downtown L.A. Banning and... Chris, where is this? Do the map. Work your magic.

Is that banning? Because I do know where banning is. Yeah, that's the warehouse. That's where the warehouse is. I was going to let Chris do it, but I did but i did recommend the bikes is our soldering we on the way to the spot right now oh don't panic what's up bro i'll solder it they think anyone yes sir yes sir yes sir yes sir yes sir yes sir something about an asian dude with a black scent that just i'm always just like oh i feel like cambodians and like laurations can get

away with it i give those ones can get away with like if you're from long beach and you're a cambodian crip like yeah yeah go ahead call me the n-word i don't give a shit but like yeah aquafina doing it bothers me yeah don't do it i have i have a problem with when aquafina does it because then you hear her she talks normal in her when she does like korean movies she's like she did like a like a movie where she's like a korean-american like you know just maybe that was her acting though she was like oh i gotta talk normal she's like yeah she studied she's she studied for it she's got a voice coach yeah it's not code switch black history month is for Aquafina. Yeah. No capery.

No handery. This is where John works. The bike is out, son. The bike is out. The bike is out. The bike is out. The gangery. That's a big mini bike.

Yeah, they all meet. Oh, man. Oh, man. The 07, I was soldering. Oh, my God. I was soldering. Yes, sir. Everybody must hate him at your job. Oh, God.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. The police are like the two things that annoy that. OK, so that's a special assignment for LAPD there. So they get time and have to be there. So like half the guys are SWAT team guys. And they just like the two things that I think annoy the most are like guys like that, the skateboard guys, the bicycle guys, and then dudes who play their boom boxes out loud. Because, you know, what's annoying about these guys is that they're not really breaking the law.

No, but cops hate when you're being annoying. Yeah. They're pushing it. They're just pushing it. If you want to go on a bike ride, you go to the mountain. You go to a trail or you go to Malibu, the beach. You go to Santa Monica, they have a bike trail.

It's perfectly set up for it. Why don't they go to the west side? You don't bike next to freeways. You go to the beach. They're the bike trail. Scumbags. I hate them. I hated them today. They were so fucking annoying. And then you're putting me at risk of killing you,

and then I have to deal with all this big headache afterwards? Then you're an asshole. These guys were particularly bad. They were swerving through lanes, and they'd cut right in front of the car. All bike people are a little bit, and these guys were actually insane. bad. They were swerving through lanes and they'd cut right in front of the car. All bike people are a little bit like, these guys were actually insane. Devin's not being hysterical right now. No, they were

crazy. And then they all parked at Homeboy Industries and went to work. They're all trying to have swag about it. They're all trying to have swag about it. And be like, yo, I'm weaving in and out of the street. This is dangerous, motherfucker. Exactly. Does anyone ever tell these Asian dudes that are acting black or Mexican

does anyone ever just go, you're Asian? Has anyone in their life ever just clapped at them like their grandfather? Be like, stop it! I'm sure their grandfather did that. The grandfather, yeah. You nailed it it you got it you mean like other members there's gotta be their pet dad's probably pissed off all the time like

they're not gonna get from their friends or anything yeah i'm like that yeah i'm like just be a cool asian dude just be a cool asian yeah yeah i learned in seattle that somehow you're allowed to just be a wigger in seattle that's very interesting that you find that out going up there yeah dude everybody we spoke to was like like every white dude like nerdy white guy like Joey when we went to Topgolf we played Topgolf at the small and our waiter was like this just like nerdy white dude and we'd be like but when he'd come over and ask us if we wanted like any more drinks he'd be like y'all want any more drinks you look like waldo what is going on here

everyone they look like waldo but they got that john b uh like yeah the strap and even we had like a middle-aged like vietnamese waitress at this like seafood place and she was like what y'all want everyone's like kind of got a a hype beast yeah you're like oh the grits and gravy what you flat booty white boys want you're like um yeah is this good and she's just like oh they put their foot up in that you're gonna love that it was just like an old vietnamese, what you pickawoo is wrong? Pasty motherfucker. Seattle was a very, very... I hate saying wigger because it is racist.

You know what it is, though? I don't know how to explain what a wigger is besides saying wigger. It's because white people stopped listening to rock music. That's what happened. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you're totally right. They stopped listening to rock music.

Yeah, rock died. Rock died and they stopped listening to it and we needed puddle of mud more than we ever thought yeah you actually are right rock died so then everyone just had to adopt like hip-hop culture and now if you get like a new type of nirvana it's not going to be pure it's going to be like a mix of hip-hop and yeah like all these other things you know and it's not like you know white boys aren't just comfortable being white boys, you know, like not, I mean, not y'all,

but like those, you know, sure. Sure. It's white people without identities. Yeah. And you adopt something. Yeah,

for sure. Isn't that crazy? There's so many people up there that have adopted a fake identity for like half their life. They're like 30, 40 years of like, like they've convinced themselves. They talk that way. You know what you never see is like a 50-year-old

wigger. Those exist. You know my favorite? Especially in San Francisco. Have you guys seen that video Mr. White Folks? You guys know from American Pimp? That documentary? Oh, you guys, you gotta see Mr. White Folks. Oh, the white pimp?

Yeah, the white pimp. Well, these are the exceptions that prove the rule. For the most part, you're not going around. If you're a pimp yeah the white people yeah actually yeah well these are the exceptions that prove the rule most for the most part you're not you're not going around you're a pimp you're living it you're like that's a real contract if you just live at home and you have one of those like that you have like one of those like race car chairs on the floor and you just play xbox then you just going out and acting black all day it's a it's a mr white folks is the best though because he like hangs out with all these other black pimps and he was like you know how it is i tell him it's the ocean and then like the motion and the potion baby and they're all like all the other dudes

That sketch. Oh, okay. And there's literally pimps walking their hoes around, and they're like, look at the floor.

And they're just showing them off. Oh. And they won't be allowed to look up or like... It's how I like it. It's pretty great. They really control them. Nice. And I like that.

I like seeing... Nothing better than controlling a woman through fear and manipulation. Intimidation, yeah, manipulation, intimidation. Nothing like heating up a wire. Pressing it in your ear. Getting a coat hanger hot and scaring them with a burn fear. Making your own brand. Branding them.

Nothing like putting a phone book up to their ribs. them. Nothing like putting a phone book up to their ribs. Putting a 38 to the phone book. Seeing how far the bullet gets. Oh, lucky you. Only got to the G's this time.

Man, that fisheye lens has been making people into influencers for too long. This guy just kind of won me over with that wheelie. It was impressive. Oh, he's bunny hopping on one wheel? Yo, he got skills. Oh, shit. Don't panic yo these people's gonna happen is a week after this podcast airs you guys are gonna be at that bar you guys hang out at yeah and then you're just gonna see 50 bike waiting outside they're gonna

Yeah, Chris, could you tell your friends to stop doing that? Yeah, leave Devin alone. Chris has been a victim of that type of shit. I've been a victim of that kind of shit. Okay, yeah.

I've never been the perpetrator of that. No. Chris, did you ever have a day where you were like... Those fools didn't like me either. No, Chris is like the nicest person I've ever met. Did you ever have like a triumphant win? But did they not... Growing up against somebody

who was just tougher than you? Or you just always got beat up? No, I feel like every time out of all the fights I was in, I only fought up until I was maybe 19. And it was only once a year that something would happen. But I feel like it was half of them I lost

and then half of them I won. That's not a bad record. That's good. Were you ever pressured growing up to like did you ever have, were you like a bad gang member for like a second? No, I wanted to. For like a week? I wanted to. I thought it was

badass. Like when I was a kid and I saw American Me and like Blood In Blood Out and I was like 10, I thought going to prison was dope. I was like damn, I can't wait to go to prison. I want to go to Pelican Bay. I really thought that was dope. dope i was like damn i can't wait to go to prison i want to go to pelican bay i really thought that was dope i just was like damn that's what those movies don't do right it's like it actually looks cool you're like oh man you just people respect you and fear you yeah yeah all my friends are here family loyalty yeah were you in like a gang high

school no no i wasn't a a tagging crew But that was different Oh, I thought you said Italian crew No, no, no, no, a tagging crew I was in an Italian crew So I guess you're Latin Tagging crew, yeah, what was your name in the tagging crew? I was in a tagging crew called B&O It stood for Beyond Number One

That's fucking sick And then even worse than that, my tagging name was Mix77. What? Mix77? No, it was just Mix. Nobody ever called me that. I just chose it.

Connor was in a tagging crew for a little bit. His name was Lust. Oh, Lust over there. When I lived in Minneapolis, I did graffiti with these crazy roommates that I had for a little bit. And my name was Sax. Sax?

Sax. Like S-A-C-K-S. That's not bad. That's all right. Better than me. No, no, but it was because I would only do nutsacks. So for a while, there was just nutsacks all over Minneapolis, and it was because I would only do nut sacks. So for a while, there was just nut sacks all over Minneapolis, and it was just me. And sacks with all city.

All city sacks. Yours actually isn't that bad. It's pretty bad. What is it, Max? Mix. Mix? It's not that bad. It's not that bad.

I got arrested for it, though. Did you? Fucking tight. I got arrested when I was 17. I went out with my friend trends we we bombed the building like a big piece uh over in downtown and then we were we were on top of this building but the thing is is those helicopters they have heat tensors yeah so we hid under an air duct but they could still see you put a chopper on a grill for tagging yeah yeah it was at it was like the early 2000s,

and it was at the height of like... Oh, yeah. Tagging was a big thing. I remember one of our neighbor's kids got arrested for tagging. They really cared about it. Now they don't care at all anymore. And then tagging crews used to become just...

They would get sucked into gangs and stuff like that. Oh, shit. It was like huge. Yeah, they become tag bangers. It was huge. Like that guy Chaka. You guys know that guy yeah yeah yeah like you know he's like from the 80s or whatever but like it is like a preschool for gang active yeah yeah it was basically that and then we got arrested and then i fucking got arrested that food trends got away and trends is such a bad car when did he leave you like at what point in the night

we jumped off a building because the cops were there and then he took off and those fools took out guns and i was like oh i'm not running if you took out guns so then i just stayed there and then they they took me to central booking right there and at uh where is it um by your job uh twin towers yeah yeah twin towers they took me to twin towers yeah uh no yeah twin towers over at caesar chavez but i was 17 so they couldn't you couldn't get so they called my mom she had to come and get me at three in the morning she brought my sister with her and they were like uh we regret to inform you your son's name is miss like all right leave him leave him she goes leave him those cops were hilarious they told

my mom like because my mom doesn't speak english so they told my sister they said tell your mom that if she wants to beat him up right now because he's cuffed she could we're not going to do anything about it and then my mom just whooped my ass in front of cops. Oh, yeah. What a different time. God, that's crazy. Did trends make fun of you for surrendering? You know what? They wrote free mix all over the city. Oh, hell yeah.

Fuck yeah. Nice. So you were like a legend. I was a legend. Yeah. And then they were like, yo, I heard mix ratted. They take you out. They paint you. They take you out they paint you they take you to a they take you to the desert they just shoot

you with a spray spray can that was the 2002 version of takashi i was just like i was ratting on everyone i was like i'm no trey way you look like a fucking why are you outside you're supposed to be inside i don't got hope i didn't say you did oh oh here's what is weird to me about these guys that talk this way is that it's like how do you all how do you train your brain to constantly not to be like sleepy at the end of everything you say where you're like oh yeah like how does that work nah man no one talks like that like when they're like as a person born you have to train your brain to all to constantly be gone like like every moment you have to be cool they think only nerds are like fully alert. Exactly. It's like nerdy to fully be alert.

It's like, why are you so awake, nerd? You know what it is? You know what it probably is? It's probably like the way you talk when you're on lean. Yeah. If you're on lean, you're kind of dozing. And all these fools probably do lean. They probably are.

Like high and shit. They try to project, look how fucking chill I am. Yeah. I'm the coolest guy in the fucking world. That's all lean culture to me, though. Yeah, it is. I wish they were actually on drugs. I feel like they're just trying to sound like the person on drugs,

but they're not actually doing them. Yeah, if they lived it, I'd be into this. If these guys were shooting up or writing, it'd be great. Yeah, if they were boofing lean before they fucking ride. The annoying thing is that half these guys end up at the Americana later that night. They're fucking annoying Filipino girlfriends, and they just guys end up at the Americana later that night. They're fucking annoying Filipino girlfriends and they just stare you down at the In-N-Out.

My whole life has been getting stared down by people like this at an In-N-Out at 1am. Every In-N-Out I've ever gone to in Southern California, it's me and I'm in a stare-down with some 15-year-olds who have a much better car than me.

Yeah. They're driving a really revving, a really cool engine. Yeah, like a Charger. It's like a BMW that their dad got them, and they're just staring me down. And I'm like, I'm 30, but I'll fight you. Some Armenian teenager that's like, let's grapple. Exactly.

Yeah, he has a purse. He has like a Gucci purse on him. Some chiseled-faced Armenian kid's like, come on, let's go. Big hopperies. Yo, he's hot. That's gay. You're hopping around like a bunny rabbit.

It's gay. Oh, yeah. Yes, sir. Yo, you riding a bike. Oh, touchery Yes, sir. Yo, you riding a bike. Oh, fuck. He touched it. Touchery. Whoa.

Whoa. They're like, see, a wheelie is cool because usually you have two wheels. So when you do a wheelie, you're on one wheel. And then they have to catch you. They're like, make sure to be tired at the end of that sentence. The thing that's annoying about it, that's where everybody gets picked up. They're just chilling. No, they're walking. Everybody's just, that's where everyone who just wants to it, that's where everybody gets picked up. They're just chilling. No, they're walking.

That's where everyone who just wants to go home has to go get picked up. That's an Uber pickup spot. And if you drive through there and they're there, they look at you like you're the asshole. Yeah, exactly.

And then they beat the shit out of you and put you in a coma in front of your five-year-old or some shit. Them and Dodger fans. Them and Dodger fans. Yeah, they treat every car like they're a giants fan during during their rivalry game oh my god chris oh shit they don't know when they're alerting people of danger they're like

they're like yo dad who's gonna go i was not impressed by what that guy did where he was standing on like no i did that when I was 11. No, no, no. You could tell this guy's like, they just give it. They're just like, we have a white guy. Make him feel good. That's not even that cool. There's nothing actually impressive so far in this whole thing.

He used to be a pro BMX guy. He was like a street pro BMX guy. And he was really into hip hop. And I guess he started a blog. And then throughout the years, then he started a podcast and all that. Right. I used to play poker with him. He's sort of a-

He seems like a nice guy, actually. Yeah. He goes to the Hustler Casino all the time. And I used to play online with him, weirdly, too. Yeah. So his name is like Adam22, no jumper online. And he started winning. I don't know how much he's spending and stuff,

but he won a couple of decent tournaments. That's crazy. Did you have any interpersonal interactions with him? No. Did you fuck his bitch, dude? He's one of those white guys that's like, I'll become black. I'll just get so many tattoos, I literally am black.

Yeah. Great. They're in the fashion district. Oh, that's, no, that's like, that's Little Tokyo. They're riding right down First Street. Oh, yeah, that's Little Tokyo. Yo, stay on alert, yo. Everybody. How fun could that be, like after this don't you get tired

seem bored like look it's silent and then you gotta ride back yeah yeah you have to go all the way back to your car yeah and then drive home if this is this is like well i'm never trying to hang out with that many people either. No. Exactly. The next day... This is enough. Yeah, you don't know who here is wanted for something. This is enough. If Jace came in, I'd leave.

And it's not because it's Jace. It would just be like, okay. It's a numbers game. It's just too many people. It's like Joey's move that he did the other day. Anyone who just meets up, you know what I mean? For anything. Biking.

I like the three-wheeler guys. Well, that's what's so funny about, like, cool guy, like, cool, like, like, like, this culture or whatever, where it's like these guys are all very, like, they all think they're very alpha and everything, but it's like, but all they do is go hang out with, like, a bunch of dudes. It's too swaggy. That's what I don't like about it. It's too swaggy. That's what I don't like about it. It's too swaggy.

There's no self-awareness to it. Self-awareness, yeah. Yeah, so like Bronies, for example, you go there and they're like, we know we're weird and we're losers. These guys are like, no, we're cool. We need you to believe that we're really cool people. There's nothing cool about what's going on.

Chris, what's going on with this new 6th Street? Is this 6th Street Bridge? Oh, yeah. cool that was going on. Chris, what's going on with this new 6th Street? Is this 6th Street Bridge? Oh, yeah. That's cool. It is going insane. What is the big deal with this thing? It's just that it's the new bridge, and it looks cool. And it's a tourist attraction?

It's a tourist attraction, and people get in the middle. Fools will, like, some young Latino cats will get in the middle of it and then start, like, giving you a fade in the middle. Have you guys not seen those videos? So there's a lot of young Latino cats, like they'll go and then like a barber will go, cause there's a middle like part of it. And then some fool would just start lighting you up.

And then you're medium. Will they still dress up in 1950s? There he is, man getting haircut in the middle of Sixth Street Bridge. In that time, but this is a new one have you seen this there have been street takeovers donuts tagging and now this a haircut well this is like posted on instagram by a driver most innocent of all the things yeah it's fine pretty sure we can there's been donuts gunshots and now this a haircut what the latino gentleman getting a fade there was a quinceanera photo

shoot there too like not too long ago oh really you know what it is it's just that it's a lot of like pedestrian shit happening on the bridge that like is pissing everyone off yeah okay yeah it's for it's probably for pissing off the drivers but but yeah it's all for tiktok it's all for instagram like it looks cool if you're a fucking barber. You're like fading some fool up, you know? In the middle of the street. TikTok is ruining everything. It really is.

Really, it's decimating our culture. There's going to start being like plane crashes just because like the pilot was on TikTok. Like filming of talk. Couldn't walk out of the casino. Didn't you say last week that you saw someone with like their books or something pretending to read on TikTok or whatever? I don't know if it was on, I don't know what she posts on, whoever this girl was, but she

seemed like an influencer of some sort. And she was just faking her whole day like around me. I watched her fake read a book. Wow. That's insane. And take a picture. I watched her fake work out and take a picture. I watched her like, she actually also had food.

Yeah. And I saw her take one bite of it and take a picture and then didn't eat the rest of it yeah no one lives in real life anymore no you know you know what's happening but it's weird to see live someone curating their life right in front of you it's very odd john does that john john's a fucking yeah no you're just a big you're big on tiktok you love i don't like to i don't go on TikTok. That's just Chinese propaganda. You're so fake, dude. You're the fakest guy.

Dude, we're fucking calling you out. I'm getting impressed right now about TikTok. Our friend Ramzi Badawi, he had the joke where he does this character when we're hanging out of a guy who just saw the documentary Social Dilemma. He's all like, dude, have you seen social dilemma they're selling our data or he goes man i call that insta crack dude these apps are set up to keep us on there bro dude they got your mind tricked that's exactly what he does that's exactly i call that insta crack they're using our own psychology against us bro dude you gotta watch your screen time okay dude check your fucking screen time turn your shit black and white it's the only way to fight it and we pop in wheelies downtown

monday at 11 a.m yo chris real quick i saw this i typed i typed this full. I didn't know that you got candid as fuck. Oh, no, no. Who's this fool? Gets candid AF. What did you do on this podcast? God, big Hollywood Estrada getting all candid AF now. I get really wild on LATV. I really went for it.

You went wild. Obviously, I don't know all of it, but what was all the shit you had to do when I saw you're literally doing falconry? I saw you go to an LAFC game. The soccer team, the LAFC.

They were like, you're going to be the honorary falconer. That's what's got to be the honorary falconer oh god that's what's gotta be the worst part about getting famous as a Mexican is you have to like be like wheeled out at soccer games you have to pretend

to give a shit about soccer and I'm not like you know I mean God bless LAFC I'm not a fan though you know I don't watch it you know so like

it was so funny cause I wasn't gonna do it and then I was telling our friend Ramsey that I go I don't think I'm gonna do it and then he said he said he found a video of Will Ferrell doing it and he goes oh Will Ferrell did it you're not

better than Will Ferrell just do it for the bit yeah yeah and then he's right and then I said you're right but and then he goes it'll be really funny and then I realized while I was doing it I felt so dead inside I was just like why'd I do this literally the stupid ass falcon arm I was just like, why'd I do this? I was literally this stupid-ass falcon on my... I was, like, so dead inside. I found no joy in it. I had no... I'm not even exaggerating. I felt no joy. Dude.

I was, like... I wasn't amazed by it. It's so funny to hear Chris describing it because I saw it live, and he literally is just going like this. There's a lot of people who told me, they go, you just can't fake that you're not like you. You don't know how to pretend to be happy. Well, it's not going like this. There's a lot of people who told me that you just can't fake that you're not like you. You don't know how to pretend to be happy.

Well, it's not. I just felt... You look like you completely did. Look at that. Look at that picture. Look at me and Imperioli. All thanks to Chris. He literally gave me probably the greatest moment of my life. Meeting Imperioli.

Look at that beauty. You should tell this story. Block Chris with the picture. Let's tell this story because this is the most charitable act ever done in human history. That is a great photo, though. It really is. That's the best moment of my life. I like that your mom made it into a photo for you, a big photo.

There's a mug, right? Bro, my mom has made it into so many things it looks like I was a Make-A-Wish kid. Or like, I'm autistic. And I'm like, I've made my doll imperial. Whee! It's like on everything. She's got a t-shirt, man.

There is a lot of our mutual friends who hit me up and you're like, you know, this is a Make-A-Wish. The only thing that could have topped it is if you were like, you're like it was you know you're like listen like uh you know before kobe died or whatever you're like kobe's gonna gonna give you a piggyback right my new show at some point devin sent me a screenshot of you were texting michael imperioli and you were trying to just be like hey this is the guy you're going to

be in a scene with here's this sketch that he... He watched City Guys. That's what blew my mind. And I just saw him seeing City Guys and just being like, we live in a simulation. It's the dumbest, most basic thing ever. But we're such Sopranos fans that it's the only thing that would make me go like, this is the coolest thing. I love City Guys. I fucking love City Guys. So when...

You're the biggest supporter of us. You're all we have. Chris, you're literally all we have. You're a lost lifeline. But I love City Guys so when you're the biggest supporter of us you're all we have Chris you're literally all we have you're a lost life one but I love City Guys though it was so you know what City Guys reminds me of

like Jacob's Ladder or something it's insane it's just insane it's all like it is a weird little manic yeah it's so manic weird dreamy

and schizophrenic so I was like oh he has to see this I can't believe he watched it yeah and he watched it he was like oh I'm excited he goes i'm mixed he said i'm excited to play around with this guy how did you meet michael like what was the first conversation well they sent them the script and then we we had to offer it to someone and we offered it to like a bunch of people and they said no like can we get names or is that no no it's okay tim blake nelson you guys know who that is tim blake nelson i don't know yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah really good actor

like nelson he's um you'd know him if you saw him i don't know how to explain him he pulled him he was an old brother where art thou he was uh was he one of the brothers yeah one of the brothers he's in holes oh that was the guy that played like billy the kid in that oh that guy's good yeah he's a great Yeah, he's great. He turned it down. Imperioli is way fucking better, but I love that guy. Buster Scruggs. Yeah, exactly.

He is Buster Scruggs. He is Buster Scruggs. Buster Scruggs. He turned it down. It was at the height of COVID, and he said he just wasn't doing anything for COVID. And then we offered it to Bill Burr. Bill Burr said no, which was cool. Yeah, it's cool to still even be able to reach out.

He said fucking no. Yeah. That's great. And then somebody was like you should offer it to michael imperioli and i was like nah he'll never say yes but it was when the podcast was going on he was like i heard he doesn't get offered as many stuff as you think he does he's like a hot girl yeah not getting asked out yeah so they're intimidated yeah they we it to him, and he watched it, and then read the script, and was like, yeah, yeah, I'll do this. That's so fucking amazing. He called our managers or whatever and was like, yeah, let's meet and talk on Zoom. And then it took like a fucking week from sending it to him.

I thought it was going to be like a month. That's awesome. He was so smart. month but that's awesome he was so he's so smart yeah really thoughtful and just like in the moment and into philosophy yeah and but but like the coolest moment was when he told you a good job on that one that yeah that's i'll take that with me for the rest of my life yeah i was yelling at christopher moltesanti it was like the weirdest moment of my life when we were filming that scene it was cool when they would yell cut or whatever and then I would go up to Devin and I'd go hey Devin you're probably wondering what my process is

right now yo Chris talk about when you asked you tried to make a joke with Imperioli and he took it very seriously and doesn't he took it very seriously it like didn't work at all you know he's very sincere guy and really earnest in the best way possible and i it'd been like a month already and i went up to him joking around and i and i said

hey mikey my man as a veteran and then i said as a veteran in the acting game and then I said the script here it says Julio looks surprised like what do you think

is better this face or this face you did this sincerely but I thought he knew I would be joking you thought he knew yeah

because I had not ever talked to him like that you know and then he was like he just looked at me. He goes, wait, are you fucking serious? And then before I could go, no, no, no, I was joking. He goes, Jesus, man.

And he goes, listen, we've been doing this for a month. You're okay at it, you know? And then he goes, these lines right here, they're just action lines. You make a choice. Don't worry about it. Don't think about it too much. He gave this long. And then he kept giving me advice.

And now you can't butt in and say, it was okay. Don't even keep embarrassing. I was kidding. I had to let him talk for two minutes until I said, you know what, Michael? That was, man, what great advice. And the thing about it is that I was just joking. You're like, yeah, I hear you. I'm sorry.

I bombed. I bombed really hard. You kept. I couldn't get a word in. Devin claims that he had a good goof that made Imperially laugh. I did. Maybe I'm making it up. I was a little. I just wanted to check with the srata. I did. Maybe I'm making it up. I was a little...

I was sleep deprived. I don't know. Didn't he say something where he was like... You made him laugh when we were just talking. Yeah, a little bit. You said something about, because you mentioned oh, my mom knew John Lydon from the Sex Pistols or whatever. And you were like, oh, he probably wanted to bang my mom

or something. And then he started laughing. Yeah. I was trying to be a big anti-Trumper, too. What was the case? I was like on set. I'm like, I mean, we got to get rid of these fucking fascist MAGA supporters. He's like, that's my guy. All right. Wasn't there a goof about how Chris was like a diva or something?

Yeah, Chris did a joke about like being a big diva now. And then Imperioli kind of laughed because that's obviously had been a thing yeah for a while yeah and then and then i think imperioli said he's like norma desmond or something like that now or something like that and i was like yeah if norma desmond drove a scion he laughed at that you know why he laughed at chris's pain he did because one time we were we were leaving set and he we were walking towards where my car was and there was a jeep there and it was a really cool looking jeep yeah and he goes that's your jeep and i go nah that's my scion he looks so disappointed you morphed into a gerbil and then got into the car and drove away

it just became a Kia Soul commercial. Oh yeah, that's Kia Soul. That would have been so funny if he turned into Christopher from the show with you and you made that bad joke. Yeah, and he was like, what are you, a fucking retard? He just starts choking you out. Truly

still mind-blowing to me. Is he in season two? Yeah. He's going to be until the show ends. He's going to be until the show ends. He's going to be in the show, right? Hopefully. That was the best thing I've seen him in literally since The Sopranos. Like, truly. Because he's so funny.

And half the reason The Sopranos is so brilliant is because it's hilarious. Yeah. And he just showed... You guys highlighted all of the funniest aspects of him. He was cool. He was telling me like cool stories about David Chase. How like because, you know, he was a writer on Sopranos and he would go, you know, we would just like work on ideas and like episode ideas. And he would just sit on he would lay down on the couch in the office and not talk to anyone for three hours. Well, we were just talking about ideas and then he would get up and go, that's not it.

And then he would do the whole Joey and I are like about to cum right now I'm like isn't that crazy? we're becoming Farley from that sketch where he's like remember when Michael Imperioli but no I could listen to this all fucking day

this is amazing I try not to ask him too many questions about it because he was doing the podcast at that time and i was like this was right he's over it yeah yeah because when the podcast in there i go are you gonna miss doing that he goes no i'm tired yeah i remember i was so nervous to take a picture with him you i thank god you were there you knew how important it was and you were like no no no like devin come on did you get a picture with him like let's go let's go get his picture and then after that i because i you I, you know, you want to play it cool. So the whole time I'm just like, yeah, I'm an actor.

You're an actor. Thanks. Are we actors? Ha ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.

Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.

Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.

Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.

Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.

Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.

Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.

Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. the end, I got a little gay. And after the picture I took with him, I was like, listen, I just truly like. I saw when you did that. I walked away because I didn't want to make you. It was so awkward. You were like cringing. You were like, oh, God. It was like sweet, sincere. It was just awkward. You would never see.

Yeah, nobody ever sees this. Nobody ever sees that. But I was like, I want you to know, like, this is literally one of the coolest moments of my life. And I've been playing it cool. And like, literally, you're one of my favorite actors of my life. I've been playing it cool. Literally, you're one of my favorite actors of all time. I've watched Sopranos. It's my favorite thing of all time.

I said, you're one of my favorite actors of all time. I could tell. He was like, right. No, it's great. Okay, thanks. To him, he's like, I'm not even in that much. I'm in the most iconic show ever. But as a working actor, he's probably like,

yeah, how would I be anyone's favorite actor you know what i mean but i he truly is no i remember seeing that and it just cracked me up because i said what an intimate like never devon hasn't even had that much of an intimate moment with a lady i took him out to dinner that night he's never been this sincere with anyone. Actually, I asked him if I could go to his house and take the trash out. And I'd clean up. I'd do everything I don't do.

No, we should paint that wall. You're right. I went to his house and go, we could paint that wall. Sure, Mikey, whatever you need. Whatever you need, Mikey. Let me empty this coffee mug. This coffee pot. I did have a feeling watching it, though, where I was like, this sounds crazy. But I was like, this could be a turning point for Imperioli because he was so good as a comedic actor.

Now that people know that, he could have a whole comedic career. He's going to be in White Lotus. Yeah, he's in White Lotus season two now. It's about to come out. That show on HBO, the Mike White show. It's going to be in White Lotus. Yeah, he's in White Lotus season two now. Season two, White Lotus. It's about to come out. That show on HBO, the Mike White show. It's actually pretty good. I like it.

I love Mike White. Are you taking credit for that? Oh, no, no, no. That fool has it. I'm kidding. No, you launched his comedy career. No, without Chris,

Michael Carey would be a bum. No, you're like his Tarantino and he's Travolta. You know what he did to me though it was kind of funny

he was I guess Zach Braff had some show like on ABC like after Scrubs or whatever he was like yeah I was on

another comedy like I forgot what it's called it's called like Big Apple or something and then he was like I was like how was that

he goes it sucked have you had a conversation well I'm sure you have but so the show came out he must have been like thrilled with it right

like it's yeah he was he was really cool about it yeah he was really he actually you know what's crazy he said

he told me this he's never seen an episode it wasn't until the podcast of The Sopranos he never watched it he never watched it yeah and he says he doesn't watch anything

he's in wow he says what like would get him excited was just whatever the written materials because he likes to

write himself and he was a writer on Sopranos and he wrote that movie Summer of Sam he was like nah I don't even watch any of it

I just watch like I'll read it he's like a true artist he's a true artist he's the only guy I'll accept that answer from like when guys

like Johnny Depp and shit they're like no I've never seen Pirates of the Sea I was like, shut up, asshole. What are you talking about? Watch it with your kids.

What? You never saw Edward Scissorhands? Yeah, like Edward Scissorhands up close. Come on. Man. Oh, God. You reminded me it happened. It was great. Dude, I had no sleep. Every scene I've ever done in

any any little show it's like how do you how did you did were you ever able to even get sleep at the beginning like when i did this i did that indie movie the whole first week i was just or like the first few days you like can't go to bed it was like four you would sleep shitty hours you just roll around thinking about your lines and then also also you get off. Once you get off, you're so hyped. You're like, I can't believe this long day I had. You're tired but wired. Yeah, you're wired. That shit was insane.

But it was cool, though. It was cool seeing you act with them. Dude, that was the great... Honestly, thank you so much. And the show is legitimately good. It's the only thing any friend of mine has ever made that I didn't have to lie to them about. Exactly.

No, it was such a pleasant surprise. You wouldn't be on this podcast right now if we ain't into the show. No, but it was great. I remember my girlfriend was like, when she was like, well, you got to find a way to put Devin in there. And I go, he's been screaming about it since 2013've known since like 2013 or 14 when I first met him. He's been yelling about it. That was what I also really appreciate about. And Joey will appreciate this more than anybody.

Chris said, you're not one of those fucking new Sopranos fans. We were watching the VHS's and shit. I go, you've been annoying everyone with this shit since 2014. Well, that was so funny that you. The least I could do. You recognize that there was a new era of Sopranos fans from the internet? Because in the pandemic, Joey and I were excited people started caring about the show again. Yeah, of course.

But then it got a little overboard where it was so meme-ified. It turned into this meme culture of Sopranos fans. And I'm like, do you even get why the show's great? Or are you just trying to look cool? It almost felt like they started watching it ironically or something. There was almost an ironic tone to certain people, right?

The meme-ification of it felt ironic. Remember the audience reaction? We know they're like dumb Italian, you know, the characters are dumb Italian but it's like, you know. It's so much more depth to really accomplish an actor. But it's all really surface level takes on it they're like dude like tony like this and he loves ducks isn't that crazy yeah yeah yeah there's no they don't understand they're going through an

existential crisis that still cares about his hair so much dude yeah we went and saw the movie the audience reaction of many saints was just like the movie was one of the funniest experiences of my life watching devin sit in his seat so it was me devin and then his girlfriend was right next to him and there are people who were like somehow enjoying the movie it seemed like it was all the new fans enjoying it and stuff and devin was anytime somebody would like laugh at a joke that was fucking just terrible, Devin would look at the person. He would turn around.

He would glare at somebody. I couldn't help it. And you could just see Ida trying to, Devin's girlfriend trying to calm him down. You'd hear in the middle of the movie, you'd hear Ida be like, sit down, relax. So funny. You know what I think was wrong with the movie? The movie was trying to intentionally be funny. It felt like it was like... Everything was like that.

It was a mockery of the Sopranos. I'm not even going to blame Chase or anybody. Once I read into the fact that he had a family emergency and didn't direct it, there was no real focus on it after a while. It felt to me like he wanted a payday and he wrote something on a napkin

that was like okay so it's Christopher's dad and like so you know Silvio is like this and then he just he's like okay

there's like give me 20 million bucks and you guys can do whatever you want with that like I don't care but it feels like the movie kind of came and went

like nobody's really that's what's great about it. That's what's kind of good about it. It almost doesn't exist. I'm glad they all got their money. That's the only silver lining is that David Chase got paid a fuckload of money. And that James Gandolfini son was good in it.

He was. I was worried about him the most. He was the best part. That kid was fucking good. He was good, actually. It's not his fault that there's no context to anything he's doing. When he's driving the ice cream truck and you're like, why?

There was insanely weird aspects of the movie. If you're an actual Sopranos fan, the scene when Tony steals the ice cream truck, they kick the man out of the ice cream truck while it's moving. That almost kills him but

then they go no but they were good guys though they drive to a little league game and then tony gets out on the field and hands ice cream out to all the kids and then dicky moltisanti christopher's dad in the show he has that whole dream where he's like, what if I was a good guy? His idea of a good guy means that he's coaching a blind baseball team. That's like his idea of like, what a good people do out there.

They coach blind kids playing Little League. It's such an extreme. It's so weird. I guess I'll just have to choke out my guma for fucking a black guy instead in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, that was just the strangest movie. I know, just so many drastic turns.

Well, they made Silvio a bald fucking... Yeah, that was the one. They made Corrado like a massive loser, like, retard cuck. Like, he was, like, the most pathetic person ever. It was just, like... No, Corrado was, like, gay in the movie. Yeah. Yeah, like, he was like the most pathetic person ever that's it was just like no carada was like gay in the movie yeah yeah like he was like very effeminate yeah like strange they just tried on everything you loved about a lot of the care but whatever i'm now

yeah getting angry but it's like remember the remember the scene uh when johnny boy soprano is coming back from prison and he just sees that there's like a black doctor living in his neighborhood and just immediately comes in he He's like, what the fuck? Yeah. I feel like a mobster would just come in and still have their party. If they had a problem with it, keep it in the back of their mind and deal with it later. Chris, could I pay you like 50 bucks to call Imperiality right now?

Truly, you have no idea How many moments Throughout that day I was like How do I like Befriend this guy That's all I would've been Thinking about

For the rest of my natural life Like how do I Is there a way I could like Save his life today Or something Like anything Fake mugger

I wanted to figure Anything out I was considering Like Like Like Like Decreasing the air

In his tires Like letting the air Out of his tires And letting the air out of his tires and then like you and then i catch it and i go oh my god mr imperioli what is that you go one of those r16s i got one in the back of my trunk don't worry about it the night before i was like reading up on rock bands and yeah trying to make conversation philosophy and So you like Lou Reed, huh? I was like, I like to take a walk on the wild side. Oh, man.

What is his phone number, though? Yeah. Yeah, give it out publicly. We'll text him later. Come on. That is cool though my proudest moment is that he saw city guys that's pretty fucking wild

I think that's just fucking cool that he saw city guys that's the coolest thing that's ever happened I want to nominate you for sainthood by the way

even though he probably like was at dinner with his wife and he was like oh yeah oh I'm not gonna watch that but yeah sounds seems like a fun

guy. Because we talked about it. He actually watched it? No, I know he watched it. Because he referenced the wall thing. He did? He watched till the end? He referenced the wall thing. Joey, what the fuck? We are the biggest losers. I can't believe we got that to happen. Because he said, oh yeah, I saw the video.

He just said, man, these guys are crazy. They were walking into the wall. You know what he said? It's because it sparked a conversation. He said, those two guys remind me of the guys. He was complaining. He wasn't really complaining, but he was telling me what it reminded him of.

He said that in the tri-state area, there's a bunch of these kind of fanboys that want to be, who love the Sopranos, go to every convention, go anywhere he goes, even if he comes out of a store, they know that he's there and they're like, sign this and everything.

Those two guys in that sketch, those characters reminded me of those guys. Yeah, like the fake mobsters. I've heard about people like this where they wear the track suits, and they have no connection to Mafia, but they're kind of like, they like pretending like they're in it.

It's like organized crime stolen valor. Exactly. It's like autistic people. But they're like fanboys. At the same time, they find these guys, all the guys that were in The Sopranos, ask them to sign stuff.

They go to all the conventions. He goes, those guys that ran into the wall, that's just, that's, yeah. I'm sure his life is, I'm sure he's had to run into way more of those guys

than he's ever wanted to. Especially living in New York. Oh, yeah. You're always going to be Christopher Moltisanti. Like, you're, he's legitimately one of the most iconic characters

ever in anything. He can't even escape him on the set of This Fool. I mean, it's like the other actors in shows he does for the rest of his life are like, that's Christopher Montessori. I think we were making jokes while we were shooting

the thing that we were just going to be annoying about it and be like, hey guys, keep it down. You don't want Michael to whack anyone here. We kept making jokes like here. We kept making jokes where we were going to be the biggest hacks of all time. He walks off the set. He's like, I'm quitting the show. These guys suck. We just keep being like,

oh, hey, Michael, don't whack me. Me. Oh, man. Yeah. What I would give to be his son You look like his son in that photo Yeah I do a little bit Yeah

You guys look like each other in that photo I look like a real piece of shit in this photo Oh yeah You guys could definitely be related Yeah I can't believe that's him That's crazy That's the coolest thing that's ever happened to me

And the last. Is this like a big vie to get into season two? Is that why you brought it up? Chris, I have nothing now. I don't even look at Chris for a second. I don't know what's happening in my career. God. I really need something right now, man.

Maybe if I knew a friend with a TV show that I pulled, you're like Chris, Kobe died My best friend Jack died I'm like, God, I just I don't know what would pull me out of the depression That Jack dying Put me in

I mean, maybe Season 2 of a show I don't even know anybody that has a show Getting the chance to act with a soprano again I'm like, come on. I mean, you know, Walter seemed like a big character. He sold a coffin.

And then you're like, I want to know that guy's backstory. How about this, Chris? Three episode arc, season two, all about Walter. The weird guy in his garage. I see it. I see it. about Walter. The weird guy in his garage. The weird guy, yeah.

I see it. I see it. I see it too. I've written a whole season. Christy's himself walking into the Verizon store to get a new phone number. You're like Colin Quinn with, what was it? What was that Crocodile Dundee movie?

Did you ever hear that story on ONA? I think I know what you're talking about. Colin Quinn was on ONA and he was talking about how in the late 80s, he was basically an extra on Crocodile Dundee. Not even the first one, part two. It was like Crocodile Dundee in New York or whatever. And then he said, he goes, I took it upon myself to go, oh, they don't understand New York.

So he went and rewrote the whole script and then turned it into the director. And then the director just looked at him like, what are you? Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about? Yeah, and that he made himself like

Crocodile Dundee's sidekick and showed him around. That shows him the real New York. It's one of my favorite Colin Quinn stories. I fucking love, by the way, you and I have to be the only people that have ever been on TV in the last 10 years that give a fuck about old ONA.

Not if we talk about ONA all the time. Little do ONA. Not every talk about ONA. We talk about old. All the time. Little do they know. You can't let it out. One time we had a bonding moment at a Taco Bell. Oh, no, no. It was at a Pollo Loco over in Lake Atwater.

Because we started, we realized we were the same loser because we started talking about how we both enjoy a beige frequency documentary and porcelain documentaries. And then Devin was like, you're a loser, dude.

And I was like, yeah. That's a great moment about... We're talking about them. They're like amazing directors. Yeah, we were like, man, these docs are blowing our minds. We were like, dude, did you see fucking porcelain's nest?

You do like a homeless cat secret handshake. Yeah. Yeah, we're the first homeless cats those frequency documentaries and porcelain documentaries and then when you went heavy on like i was you know i watched the podcast so when you went heavy on the homeless cat oh yeah yeah yeah that killed me dude that was that was an interesting episode. After that episode, I was like texting Devin like lines from that.

He just killed me. Joey's Raging Bull impression. Oh, yeah. Jake Lamont is doing a big fucking mountain line. I thought it was a big cat. And then a bunch of homeless

actual homeless cats came in by the way actual I'm one of you guys I don't know why I said that they came in and there was like a big thread where they loved us and then like three days later there was another thread where they turned their backs on you guys so there was a huge

huge thread where it was like this is amazing these guys are hilarious they killed shop and then three days later another thread identical thread just the podcast and like hey check this out every comment was like uh you know fuck these guys like yeah they turn that's what's so crazy about the internet what happened why do you think they turned did they think that you guys were jumping like on a bandwagon of any job or like maybe that kind of think that i think maybe that but i also think there's so many people on those subs the day that we people liked us it's the night shift at 20,000

people like this and the night shift was like you know i don't know just different people catching it so then a week later people like stop fucking support though i don't these guys are trying to get views for their podcast like fuck these losers like That type of thing. You're like, all right. There's like the homeless cats. I mean, there's hundreds of thousands of them. They're an elite league. There's so many people on that forum. So the day that people liked us was like, okay, maybe 15,000 people that saw it liked us,

and then there's still 100,000 people. It's like, okay, yeah, maybe 15,000 people that saw it liked us, and then there's still 100,000 people. It's like a cultural phenomenon at this point, where the people that have banded together to hate Schaub, I've never seen anything like it. If any other movement had that kind of unity, like if Black Lives Matter had that kind of unity,

there would be no injustice for black people at all. Yeah, they're like an AA for bad taste. Like they at one time had bad taste. Now they all have to meet up and redeem themselves. They're the most, I mean, they're more organized than the government. It seems like they've made that guy cry. Brendan Schaub is in multiple lawsuits.

He's like suing YouTube channels. I feel bad Of people just sitting In their room Talking about him He's upset He's upset I get it They're really good At being hateful Imagine being Imagine being

That funny And how many people Hate you Genius goes unnoticed For such a long time It's a thing It's really A Van Gogh situation

Yeah Van Gogh Yeah He just won't get His recognition until he's dead. Yeah, that's what's going to happen. When it's too late. Real Emily Dickinson. He's ahead of his time. Yeah.

You've got to get Brendan Schaub in season two. Yeah. Oh, dude. You think he's Mexican? Yeah. You would honestly get a lot of people would watch. You'd get a whole new viewership. Oh, yeah. Truly. Get him Mexican. Yeah, yeah. You would honestly get a lot of people would watch. You'd get a whole new viewership. Oh, yeah.

One of the guys that I did the show with, he was like, you should go through your tweets. And what about that pin tweet? You're talking about meth and prostitutes.

It was insane. It was one of the most active, hated... We were there. Remember when we were in Boyle Heights? When Trump got elected. I'm talking about... Maybe it was around when Trump got elected. I don't remember. We went to that bookstore in the Boyle Heights.

The Mariachi Square. We were visibly, like, not liked. We walked in, and the person working there, like, I remember a obvious vibe of, like, because they had the no gentrification shit. Yeah, that guy was like a La Raza hipster. Yeah, like a La Raza guy. Yeah, La Raza guy.

But I remember the first day I moved there, my mom's blonde. I was walking down the street with her and the only hate I had... Well, your family are Nazis. Yeah,

Yeah. The Crenshaw Cowboy apparently...

I grew up in that neighborhood. The Crenshaw Cowboy? The guy that saw Nipsey Hussle? No, he's the homeless guy that wears the cowboy hat at the Crenshaw exit with all the statues. Right there on the freeway. I see that guy all the time. I love that dude.

They would steal his art and display it at galleries. Are you serious? Yes, that was one of the big scandals. Holy shit, I know that guy. I'd give him that for money. He's so cool. He's great.

Right when you're going on the 10 West. Yep, yep. I give him hay. But yeah, he's always dancing like Michael Jackson and wearing a cowboy hat. He wears like aluminum

suits sometimes. He's the shit. But they were stealing his art and displaying it in Boyle Heights, a gallery. What? That's what I heard. He wears an aluminum suit sometimes. But they were stealing his art and displaying it in Boyle Heights, a gallery. That's what I heard. That's what a lady, one of the people who stopped that.

I wouldn't doubt it. I wouldn't doubt that at all. Also, I heard a lot of the anti-gallery stuff there was done by white people who were trying to just get rid of rival galleries. That's interesting there was a couple coffee shops that had to had to leave yeah one coffee shop left kept getting rocks thrown through the window i woke up in the morning and i heard like these i lived right next

to it was like an industrial building are you still there no no no no no no no no no no no i lived amongst you guys long enough. I remember that. But there was this industrial building right next to me. And I was waking up. And my girlfriend was there. And I was going to work. And then I just heard this angelic singing. And I was like, oh, it's like people warming up.

And I was like, oh, cool. Well, this is kind of nice. And I get up. I go to work. And then she texts me 30 minutes later. And she's like, this is Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros just playing next door. And I was like, dude, they might as well just have planted a gentrification flag. It was fun.

Oh, man. They're all dressed like cult leaders. Yeah. It's like fucking Charlie Manson's next door. It was nuts, dude. That whole place was, at that time, was crazy. People's rank getting raised $1,200. Yeah, it's insane.

Did they get it lowered? Like, is that over now? Well, it's still a lot of the buildings there because it was a jewish neighborhood a lot of the buildings there are still owned by those old jewish families like beverly my entire block was owned by one guy and he was like he raised my landlady's rent like mickey cohen grew up there yeah really yeah yeah mickey cohen it was a japanese and jewish neighborhood japanese and jewish neighborhood canters the first location was over there. It was called Boyle Heights because a bunch of old Jewish men had boils. They used to call it Moyle Heights.

No, no, not yet. Because it was a half Jewish neighborhood. It was mostly Jewish, Mexican, and Japanese. And then they ended up, throughout the 50s and 60s, they all started moving out to the west side. Right, okay. But a lot of them still... There's like an old shul there on Breed.

Jewish neighborhoods always get awesome nicknames. In Maryland, there's Pikesville. It's nicknamed Kikesville. Oh, Jesus. Wow. It's a very Jewish neighborhood. What else do they got? That's the main one.

That one kind of sticks to the rip. But Moyle is not bad, is it? Moyle Heights? No, not Moyle. Is Moyle a negative bad, is it? Moyle Heights? No, I'm not. Is Moyle a negative thing? Moyle? What's a Moyle? I think a Moyle is the dude who gives the bris.

Yeah. He's the one that sucks the baby dicks. I'm glad they got ran out of town. Honestly, Moyle is cooler than you. The food's a lot better. Yeah. A lot more fun. A lot more dancing.

No one smells like Bengay anymore and complains about their back. I like to imagine that like, you know, Devin just goes to O'Bara Street

Villa Rosa Villa Rosa Dude I met the guy Who got stabbed In that group Oh really So that was out of Fucking St. Francis

Football game bro Whoa So Villa Okay so That was our high school Right So he went to Cathedral, right? So he went to Cathedral and I guess in the 70s

that was like the Latino all-boy school. And then St. Francis is a bunch of white guys. And they had a football match and I was driving Uber and I picked up this dude in Pasadena.

He was probably in his late 60s, early 70s. And he was... I don't know how the conversation went, but he was like, yeah, I was the guy that got stabbed in that whoa that altercation and what happened was is the two football teams at the end of the match i don't think it was the football teams was like fans they got in a fist

Because he was stabbed.

He was stabbed. And that hurts. My favorite was when they would make fun of him on Reno 911. Remember when they would make fun of... They would have George Lopez play the mayor of Reno. And he was always on coke and like... Oh, I vaguely remember this. I loved him. I didn't realize that they were doing a parody.

It was doing a parody of Villargosa. He was getting really hot Telemundo chicks yeah he was getting Telemundo chicks yeah was he corrupt am I was he a good man

he was kind of corrupt he was a corrupt guy I mean but compared to like the other sure sure he's not that bad at all does Garcetti pretend

he's Latino Garcetti's mob connected isn't he Garcetti's old Italian Jewish guy all Italian Jews his dad got murdered, right? Gil?

No, Gil. Who was that guy who got killed in Silver Lake? That was not a mayor. That was not a mayor? It was just a gay guy in Silver Lake. He was killed for monkeypox. What about that crazy-ass West Hollywood city council member that would like... Ed, Ed, Ed.

Oh, Ed Buck. Ed Buck. That fool that would get all those... He would pick up young black male prostitutes and shoot them up with meth. Huge Clinton Foundation guy. Three of them died, I think. Three of them died.

They had to declare his house a drug house and he was accessory to murders and shit. He would basically beat off all guys who injected heroin. He would force them to do more. I think so yeah it got really bad he was there because bodies to just get dumped in front in front of his house that's fucking like it's crazy but it went on

for decades and I think like it wasn't just the dead bot like there were a lot of guys like getting like raped and like OD'ing and stuff and like it was yeah bad situation there's all there's a lot of shit like that you ever heard of ultra Carol which one it was a bar on caesar chavez right across right in the bowl by by the uh the shaky's pizza oh yeah yeah so it was right there and uh it was the district attorney of los angeles had to ban all the employees from going there uh they got a restraining order against the employees from going there because it was a den of basically gun dealing and drugs for the tiny boy gang.

And six guys got shot in the head right outside. It was crazy. This is John's wheelhouse. Joey and I just stare at each other. We're like, John's going off now. He gets to bring up all the people he knows in the city that have been shot in the head or stabbed or raped to death.

You should have worked at a fucking Pacific Dining Car. Oh, really? I feel like you work in the equivalent of tax. Kind of. Yeah. Way cool. Dude, is the Pacific Dining Car

coming back? Closed. I know the one in Santa Monica. Even the one in downtown. It's over forever? It's over forever. What the fuck are we doing, dude? What is with this city?

I don't know. I love that one in Santa Monica. Dude, what is next? That one in Santa Monica was great, but that downtown location was the best. I never went to that one. I didn't even know there was another one. Yeah, that's where they filmed Training Day and a bunch of shit.

I can't believe it. No one's going to buy it and turn it into... They're like, I think, trying to save it, the location or something, but it... God, dude. Yeah. They didn't even hit 100 years. I think it got to 99. Damn.

LA has no fucking respect for anything. There's just no sense of history. Not like other cities. What's next? The pantry? Are the pantry going to go? That would suck if that were... But you know, that'll never go because old school money owns that. Like Richard Reardon. You know, remember that mayor? Richard Reardon. I don't even like the pantry that much.

Pantry's fucking good. I love the pantry. That's sourdough? What? The sourdough is... The sourdough is... You know the first thing that popped in my is the first. Dude, the coleslaw. You're crazy. You know, the first thing that popped in my head was the fucking hash browns, though. The hash browns are fucking awesome, too.

Yeah. To me, they're sourdough. What the fuck are you talking about? There's no place like the pantry in LA. It's like an East Coast place. Yeah. You feel like you've left LA for a year. We don't have shit like that.

It's like cash only. So the pantry, Kohl's, and's and Felipe's are like the top three like historical place I can remember. And I'm sure there's a lot of places on the South Side. You ever go to that

Nick's Diner? Nick's is great. Oh, Nick's is great. That's a cop place. That's a cop place. Is that, they have the breakfast burritos? Is that a place?

They have really good scrambles. Nick's is the place across from LA Park. Do they have breakfast burritos? Yeah. Okay, yeah, I know what it is. Awesome sign. Straight next to that Highland Park Brewery.

That's totally not in Highland Park. But they say it's a Highland Park Brewery. It's like in Glendale. That's like my favorite shit about it. My favorite thing about new LA hipsters is that they just pretend, they'll just make up that they're in the neighborhood. Like, yeah, so it'll be like,

Boyle Heights Brewery, and you're in Pasadena. The worst thing that ever... We were working the other day, and the guys, the corporate guys, they said, let's order from this sandwich place. And it's like this pretentious sandwich place in Atwater. And all the sandwiches are neat. They're really good sandwiches, but it's so... You feel like such a...

You got to get the This American Life. It's called the glass sandwich. Oh, my God. You're talking about wax paper. You're talking about wax paper. Yeah, yeah, Life. It's called the Ira Glass Sandwich. Oh my god. Talking about wax paper. It is good. Wax paper is pretty good sandwiches. It's phenomenal. You feel like a fucking idiot.

You gotta order the fucking... You feel like, oh, alright, I want the Ira Glass. What's that other dude with the Larry Mantle? I go to places like that. I can't even say the name outle? I go to places like that. I can't even say the name out loud. I just point at the thing. The only place that's allowed to do that is fucking Pinks.

Yeah, Pinks. I don't mind it. I don't even do that shit at fucking... It's okay. I don't even do that at fucking IHOP. I'm not going to say, like, yeah, I'll take the moons over Miami. Like a fucking retard. Let me get the piggies and blankets.

When I was a kid, I just thought it was moons over Miami. And I was like, why the fuck did they name the sandwich that? You grew up. And then I found, I started reading. You learned a few things. I learned how to read. I really wanted to be like, that sucked, John. It was the thing that popped in.

Before you speak, have somewhere to go with it. time i saw your fucking podcast here he goes well this is over you ruined it let's just re-record i mean uh i was i was getting i was like i felt like a proud father watching john talk about people You ruined it. You ruined the whole show. Let's just re-record. I mean, this sucked. I was getting, I felt like a proud father watching John talk about people shot in the head to Chris.

Me too. I was swooning. I was over here like, I love LA shit. I love LA shit. Yeah, me too. That's the thing. I feel like we could literally

have a, we could do a podcast with Chris every week and have new stuff to talk about. No, I love talking about LA shit. No one talks about LA shit. Every podcast on the East Coast. It's all New York,

around the way. Will you get above 105th? Are you crazy? Have you guys read the Michael Mann wrote the novel to Heat? It's fucking good. Is it actually written? It's fucking good. It made me laugh when I saw there's a book called Heat 2.

I was like, is Michael Mann of brain damage now? I was like, what's going on? Maybe I'm a cornball and I just love Heat so much. I love Heat. I love Collateral. Collateral is one of my favorite L.A. movies ever. I'm such a fucking like, I'm such an idiot that when I saw that fucking coyote scene, I was like, that shit is deep.

And then it's like fucking audio slave. We're the same person. We're the same person. I literally I get drunk and I play that scene for people I go this

you want to see LA in a nutshell I'll get drunk on my couch and be like this is LA he was on I heard him on that WTF podcast

and he was like I was like I want to hear what he has to say and he was talking about for collateral he drove around like with detectives

LAPD homicide detectives, patrol units, and he went to every different part of LA. He goes, I went to South Central, I went to Watts, I went to Compton, I went to San Pedro. I was just learning everything about LA for Collateral. Well, you know, I understand some people here, like Richie, that are, you know, they're for their- He hates Collateral. He hates Collateral.

Not a big fan. You don't like Collateral? I love the scene, the wolf scene. I love certain aspects of it. It's a coyote. you know, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're,

they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're,

they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're,

they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're,

they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're,

they're, they're, they're, they're, I like I love I love the seat like the bank robbery scenes incredible but yeah we grow he's a fucking Nazi that killed a black prostitute robbing the bank so you can make money for Trejo's Tacos. Yeah, I can't connect with Michael Mann. I don't get that opinion, honestly. Have you seen Thief? Yes, with the James Cullen movie.

Thief's a really good movie. Thief's phenomenal. A really great classic movie. All I can think about in this entire conversation is what happens in Heat 2. I just started it, but it's fucking good. Okay, good, good. I'm going to buy a copy tonight.

Collateral, honestly, no movie has ever captured L.A. at night better than that movie. Oh, yeah. Truly. Because it's lonely. You're from L.A.? It's lonely. No movie I've ever seen has captured the alienation and how much you could get away with in the middle of the night because it's so distant.

Shit shuts down here. You're so alone. And he dies on the blue line, which is the line you would die on. And of course, no one's even fucking on it. Because that's what LA is like. Literally, there's no one ever fucking around. It's a callback to the line where he's like,

yeah, he told the story. No one notices. The bomb was on a fucking blue line. The only absurd thing yeah he told the story no one notices like Bond was on a fucking blue line for whatever now Masked the only absurd thing about Collateral is the plot which is like

it makes it a fun little movie but it still does it right in my mind I think that I fucking love Collateral yeah I love it maybe there aren't

hit men like that in real life exactly like that maybe not but it's a movie it's fucking fun and it's awesome Tom Cruise is great in it.

Tom Cruise is awesome. I heard that Michael Mann cast him because he's like, yeah, he's like a sociopath. Tom Cruise seems like a sociopath. That makes sense. That's why he's great in Magnolia. Yeah. Love him in Magnolia. Christian Bale based Patrick Bateman on Tom Cruise.

Yeah, he was like, I'm trying to figure out a guy that's super charismatic and engaged but he's there's something sick and cold imagine telling him telling him that at a party like tom listen i want you to know i modeled my whole character so detached that he would be like that really means a lot to me he's like he would he's so out there he's a big man yeah i'm He'd be like, oh, thanks. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Man. Yeah. I'm sorry.

I just can't connect with it. No, you actually, I can't even trust you. A lot of people. It's all based on hating that we like it too much. Yeah. No, no. I don't think it's the worst movie ever. Let's just get that out of the way. You know what I mean?

Also, Rich's opinions on the movie are okay. I'm going to interrupt you again. I'm going to really run over, really step over you. I don't care. The music in the club scene, he's completely wrong about it. I was not wrong about it. You're completely wrong, and you defend it every time. It's a famous song that they use at clubs.

There's a lot of famous trance songs. That's one of the most famous trance songs. You were shit on in the comments last time we did this argument it's the worst it was worse to the korean club yeah and he's breaking necks and shooting fat korean he wants to hear that old school techno one i don't want no short dick man your complaint with that never made sense to me that's like maybe the most accurate scene in the movie. I don't like the music choice.

I hate that club scene. I didn't know it was the Mortal Kombat song. The Mortal Kombat techno song. It might as well be. It might as well be. John Wick kind of ripped that. It's the choices. John Wick stole from Collateral.

They stole that whole scene from Collateral. It's an iconic scene. It's iconic. And Richie over here, fucking just with his Kikesville opinion. Jesus Christ. The person I don't believe in.

Alright, let's not get into Collateral. It gets a little... It gets heated. Devin starts fighting dirty. It gets heated. I don't shit on any East Coast movies that Richie finds all touching. I don't go like any East Coast movies that Richie finds all touching. I don't go like, oh, the wire stinks. Because it doesn't. No, the wire is. Are you not a wire fan?

No, I love the wire. I'm kidding. I'm just trying to. I'm just shitting on it. He's not shitting on Richie. What's the East Coast thing? Oh, the Sopranos. The best things are the East Coast things.

But I don't even hate Collateral for being an LA thing. It has nothing to do with that. I can't connect to the characters. It just doesn't do anything for you. I don't even hate Collateral for it being an LA thing. It has nothing to do with that. I can't connect to the characters. It just doesn't do anything for you. I don't care about the story. The LA stuff doesn't matter to me, so it's not really setting in. Michael Mann's bad at romance. I'll give Richie that.

Public Enemies was bad. Remember Public Enemies? Public Enemies. That movie sucked. It was. That was horrible. You know what the best critique I heard of that was? It took you out of the movie because they did that Steadicam thing.

Yep. And it took place in the 1920s or 30 did that steadicam thing and it took place in the 1920s and it's so digitized yeah and that just it just really just doesn't ground the film

yeah Heat I love Heat but Heat could have like 45 minutes cut off of it I really personally that's true

but I still love it I still love it I watch it all the time but I don't care about like Natalie Portman at home I don't care about the home life.

Michael Mann is never really good at showing romance or home life. It's all the stuff. It's all two bad dudes getting to know each other that he's great at. That's what's amazing and he's amazing at just capturing the city. One of my favorite memories of my entire life is we all have

a friend who has an autistic son that's obsessed with the North Hollywood shootout. Oh, yeah. That shootout is great. Best shootout. This is one of the best. I was just watching videos.

I remember seeing it as a kid. And Devin and I were over at his house drinking and we're like, can we show him Heat? And Johnny's like, yeah, let's do it. He's young, so it's a violent movie, but we showed it to him. He was like, Cam was what, about 16 years old? That's good he time. Well, yeah, but he, you know. At the time, I think he was like 14-ish,

I think at the time. But so anyways, we showed it to him and we're like bonding over it. He loved it. And we went and we got breakfast and I started drinking at the breakfast and I kind of started getting hammered and i go i started just we're talking so much about the movie that i go like all right

cam on the way back to the house we're hitting three banks we go we go wells fargo u.s bank and then that one right next to it i go it's a fucking clean job in out each one and it sounds so cool it's the fucking dream even just you, out, each one. It sounds so cool. It's a fucking dream. It sounds so cool. It's a dream. Even just you fucking around and saying that, I'm like, God, dude, I'm getting hard. I know. And we're having the best time ever talking about this job that we're planning.

And then I just go home and I forget about it. And then my friend calls me and he goes, dude, you got to talk to my kid. Tell him you were joking. He goes, he won't stop. He thinks that you're doing a heist you gotta tell him heists are bad like robbing banks are wrong i i was i felt so bad but i told him i'm like i was goofing buddy like we're like we're not doing it that's so funny he was convinced we were robbing he was sad that we were that we weren't going to do the job that was amazing i mean it played out like a fucking movie didn't didn't the last guy end up killing himself because he was like they

both got iced they one got shot in the hand and then shot that's right you know the most nefarious thing about that shootout was is both those dudes took tons of muscle relaxants before oh no way isn't that fucking crazy they were prepped yeah so they were really like not so they went they didn't panic so they wouldn't panic yeah isn't that fucking that's fucking insane yeah insane drum magazine

they have their fucking clothing in AK-47s at the police museum oh right in Highland Park big dummies that's gotta be annoying

for the police they're like these guys are fucking they're an army did they kill these legends did they kill cops they shot one in the head

but I don't think they killed any the guy survived the headshot yeah he lives in like Ohio I watched well I watched I was literally watching like I watched They shot one in the head, but I don't think they killed any. The guy survived the headshot? Yeah. He lives in, like, Ohio. I watched it.

I was literally watching, like, I watch it every week. I was watching footage of it, like, three days ago, and they had, like, all the cop survivors coming in. Yeah, and that was at, like, a tough time when, like, the, you know, there's a lot of, like, racism in the police department. So they were, like, you know. It was, like, Rampart era. Yeah. Oh, my God, dude.

I used to know a police officer that was in Ramp division she's a female latino cop yeah those rampart cops i knew i used to work at a movie theater and i used to work with this guy named mike he's my friend he manages the strip club in west la called uh foreplay it's like the best strip club in the city and it's uh it's over off of like pico and Cotner in West LA. Really good strip club. But we used to... How are the wings? They're shitty, but... But what's great is I met him when he used to work security at a movie theater. And the guy that owned the security company was this guy named Vic.

He was this old school LAPD cop who worked the OJ Simpson case and got fired with Mark Furman. Yeah, he knew Mark Furman. And he would say the most racist shit, Vic, was like so funny. Because I would go in there and I would give him a handshake and we would go like I go, hey, how you doing, Vic? Like that. He goes, Estrada, I like your handshake. He goes, you don't do all that. It's not going to be

recorded. We're not recording, right? Yeah, we're not recording. We're off here. Yeah, we're off. It's safe. Are we? No, we're recording. We're still recording. What did you think? We were just talking with these headphones on? Okay, alright, then he would be like... Alright. Did you think I ended the podcast and I'm just like, let's all keep holding mics?

Then I know not to say it. Then I know how to say it then. Alright, then he would be like, you know, I like your hand. You don't dance. You don't do all the hand dancing like... I know where this is going. Yeah, that hand dancing. I know where this is going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know where this is going. We know what he said.

He called them silly billies. Like all those wackadoos. The cop I used to know, she would be basically like, they would have her, because the male cops would be afraid to fight, they wouldn't beat up women. So they would have her just like kick the shit out of prostitutes for them and then like she was a lesbian no no she's got a husband uh she would be the shit out of prostitutes and then like she was like my main kind of job was basically like the ice man for hookers my partner had a mistress and she would just like park at the they would

try to take the patrol car to the house and the mistress would just like cook food for her and they'd be in uniform while he's fucking her in the back and like she's like eating Mexican food. That's crazy. Yeah. Insane. Reminds me of In the Watch. Yeah. You ever seen In the Watch? Yeah. Or even yeah. That's a good movie.

That is a good movie. I like David Ayer movies. I like David Ayer I like David Ayer but then I don't know what happened he made Suicide Squad and lost his mind yeah and to watch Fury

was amazing Fury's great too Fury's great Training Day's great and then didn't he do Street Kings Harsh Times

Harsh Times was great I like Harsh Times Harsh Times was great yeah he did Street Kings too do you guys remember Street Kings yeah I remember

Street Kings I love any LA.A. movie. I'll see the worst L.A. movies. Yeah, same. I love anything set in... I like old, bad ones like Colors. Do you watch Colors? Yeah, Colors with Sean Penn.

Sean Penn and Robert Duvall. Yeah, yeah. Love that movie. Pulling up on kids in alleys trying to change their life in one moment. Yeah. Like, you gotta stop fucking doing this. I'm giving you your last shot

if I fucking see you again. Yeah. I'm cleaning up the streets. if I fucking see you again. Yeah. I'm cleaning up the streets. Then I'm gonna go hang out with Fidel Castro. Yeah. Go to Ukraine. What do you think

is the best LA movie ever before we get out of here? Trying to, ah. Damn, that's hard. Right? Fucking,

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I think. Yeah, you might be, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Boogie Nights. Boogie Nights. I think Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I'm gonna go with that. I like it better than Boogie Nights. Me too. Yeah, I think John Yeah, you might be in there. Boogie Nights.

I think Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I like it better than Boogie Nights. It's definitely more of an appreciation of LA. I'm going to throw Heat in there. Heat definitely is in the top 5-10. Weird to say Falling Down. Falling? No.

Throw Falling Down in there. Falling Down is great. Falling down is great. Yeah, that's just an L.A. feeling. You know, just I'm going to shoot everybody. I actually prefer Mulholland Drive. I think that is the best representation. Yeah, what else?

I don't know. Yeah, I'm trying to think. Yeah, those are the, Once Upon a Time hollywood is like immediately he just conquered it like yeah once you have a guy like that making an ode michael bay and to me colors just for nostalgia just colors like you need an old gang movie in there you guys sure sure freedom writers freedom writers that's the best la hillary swank just a young teacher in long Beach trying to make a difference. Nobody reps L.A. better than Hilary Swank. Once Upon a Time doesn't seem like it counts. It shouldn't count.

Boys in the Hood, maybe. Baby Boy. Baby Boy is great. I fucking love Baby Boy. Baby Boy is amazing. Remember when he fucking his mom like a frog? When he beats him up and has that panic attack at the end. Baby Boy is phenomenal.

Baby Boy is one of my favorite movies, honestly. Baby Boy is such a good movie. Those cutaways to the baby in the womb. It says so much. That's really great. I didn't know that guy died. John Singleton? Yeah.

It actually hit me. I was like, fuck, that guy was making some really good stuff. He had that show Snowfall on on fx yeah yeah yeah which him and uh what was it um freeway ricky had a falling over they had a falling out falling out yeah falling out over that shit oh really why because he apparently they never went to freeway ricky and really like asked can we do this shit about your life and freeway ricky at that time was probably like i am so sick of people disrespecting me. Fucking Rick Ross stole his name

from me while I was in prison. Who used to be a parole officer. I guess I get that. Anyway, should we wrap this up? I have to pee. I'm sleepy. We should do a bunch of LA recaps. As much as possible.
