But sometimes people make it and you go. Oh They put the work in and the miles in which is what I've done. You know me and just rode and Rejection and just years of just hanging on and so it's like This is one of those dudes dude because I remember before even had the show He was always on the road, you know, and he was always I saw him on an airplane once I think he was playing Bart did Bart reeds, you know, I mean comic strip or whatever and so um
Starting point is 00:04:12 You know, I look up to him in that way as well, you know, I mean, but let's give him a round of applause George Lopez, everybody Oh Some truth in the world Do you have to go to a converted fucking garage in the valley to find real truth fuck I say, yeah But bro, you thank you madam you fucking You worked hard dude. I remember those days, dude, you know, you know, um the the
Starting point is 00:04:42 You know, I I started at the comedy store like the first time I went on stage was that that was at the comedy store in Westwood ah Back in the day in in 79. There was a strike. There was a strike in comedy You guys came here, right? Yeah, there was a striking comedy like all the comedy the comedy store was on strike and the comedians are striking and You couldn't go to the you couldn't go to the club in Hollywood closed Wow, and they had a place on Sunset. It's an Italian restaurant now and across the alley. They had an arcade Really fucking arcade. Yeah. Yeah, you go in there to ski ball or play pinball
Starting point is 00:05:23 So you'd be playing pinball the guy would come go. Oh, you're next. You're like, all right, the guy would slide One quarter fucking play for five hours. Yeah. Yeah, and we would go there. That's the first time I ever went on stage. Wow and And You know, it's so easy to fucking discount somebody and say I'm a fuck that dude a that guy's this and that but When I went to the comedy store In 91, I think I just done the tonight show with Johnny Carson Wherever Carlos was in the in in the comedy store. That's when he took What was really kind of the bulk of that set that I had and then I
Starting point is 00:06:00 Would be out there and they'd go a man, you know, the fucking doorman of the comedy store is doing your shit And I'm like what there was no phone back Wrote up to you, you know, with a fucking satchel like The pony express Yeah, but that you know and there really wasn't anything you really could do back then Yeah, and and it's funny because you know people still bring up. Oh, do you put your hands on them? You know, I really didn't even know Carlos very well, but that's almost 30 years ago. That was 93 It's almost 30 fucking years. Wow
Starting point is 00:06:35 So so at the capital city comedy club and in the late 99 899 Chappelle was there The weekend before I was there and it's all sold out and everybody's like fucking sold out And then I come in and it's first show sold out second one three quarters Sunday The awful Saturday, yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, and the guy comes in the dressing room or at the bar at the bar And he goes hey man, Sandra Bullock is It's gonna come in the second show and I'm like Drinking on stage
Starting point is 00:07:08 To kill time I fucking six shot Six and I Fucking went to the room and I got on my knees and I said, please Don't let her fucking come in here cuz I was awful. Yeah, because when somebody sees you for the first time They remember good or bad mad. I'm gonna fucking drunk all that shit. Yeah, and I didn't know or anything. Yeah, and then like a year July of 99 Get a call and this is how you know this producer wants to see you that this idea. It's not really an idea
Starting point is 00:07:43 Just want to see you. Yeah, I'm much different now. I go there at the ice house I was the king of the ice house. I can lay them out one of the best rooms. Oh, I don't know. You don't even know why It's just whatever it is there in that one when you walk out there there with you almost as if you guys are on the same level absolutely, so You know the guy disappears literally for like a fucking calendar year and then next July like this motherfucker only worked in July He comes back and he says you're interested in that price. I don't know what it is and it was Sandra Bullock who lived in Austin You know culturally aware, you know kind of the height of miscongeniality and And she came to see me at the fucking improv and Brea
Starting point is 00:08:37 From the chateau. She she had a house above the Chateau. Wow Embraer on a Thursday like that's fucking 60 miles away. Yeah, that's like two-hour traffic And her headlights were behind me and all the way over there I'm like, she's gonna fucking beer off like fuck. Wait, wait, wait So you met her in LA and she followed you I met her in LA and they said we're gonna meet at her house and all Caravan out there. Wow. Oh my god, and those lights are behind me and the fucking two hours. I'm going I'm just in there going, you know, she's gonna say fuck it She's gonna get off the freeway and I got you keep going Wow, and she didn't
Starting point is 00:09:21 But you know, yeah, yeah long way man Also, I would be driving like so like safe, right? No, normally, you know, when I drive So, you know me I'm wild Yeah, so so And it was it wasn't you know, it was it was good enough to where it's not leaking on the side So that Thursday gets too big you start to leak on the end. Yeah. Yeah, but it was a nice, you know Unit and and she came in afterwards and she says it's all that shit true I said, yeah your grandmother and all that fucking bullshit. Yeah, and she goes, okay. Here's here's what we're gonna do
Starting point is 00:09:55 the idea that that we wanted was like The kids were the primary actors and the parents were secondary like they'd you know Like and all the things fucking leave it to be for the fucking parents cuz I got comes home from work You know, they're like third third people. Yeah, and she goes, but I'm compelled by what but what what I've heard Wow, so she goes come to my come to my will set up a meeting come there I'm gonna sit down. We'll get a ride assistant and then just let's just talk. Wow, and then of course, you know the Latino in you I
Starting point is 00:10:26 Go hit balls that wits it Fucking golf ball. Yeah, I've been 30 12 o'clock. It means that one 1215 Fucking hey, that's a mad fuck this shit man. Nothing's gonna add, you know phone rings you on your way. I said I'm not going He goes why I said, what's it really gonna do for me, man? What the fuck? You know, what's you gonna do because you just inherently it's so fucking hard to do anything or get any any help But you don't think there's anybody legit. That's really gonna at least that's what I thought like and then you know The fucking part of the whole Latino thing is that I think why we're not further ahead is
Starting point is 00:11:00 You don't have the ability to fucking ask for help You know, that's really true a lot of Asians are actually like that, too There's a sense that like we don't want to burden anybody Mmm, so we kind of just like keep it like internalize it and be like well if I can't figure it out on my own like I'm not gonna go ask for it because when you're fucking growing up and if you say hey, can you do the what it? Don't come over here and be fucking asking these people for exactly food And I'm hungry. So so you just you just shut it down. You don't want to inconvenience anyone. It's like, yeah Yeah, why don't you why didn't you go to the dot nodding and that's part of the whole thing, too
Starting point is 00:11:34 That sickness and people that die way before they're supposed to because they don't they don't they see the signs They think it's a burden to you know, yeah, especially with like authority figures or who we think are like higher up in our heads Even if it's not true, right? Like your parents just in at least for me at least we're Filipino that shit's instilled in us to not bother people Yeah, so so so all of that and he says listen They fucking called it only this motherfucker was always eating food anyway You know now that I said I'm not gonna say what I say the fucker was always fucking And he says hey, they now it never makes sense because they or they called and asked you what you wanted for lunch
Starting point is 00:12:12 Ah, so so that's how he knew it was legit. So I said, all right, so I go I'm sitting, you know, she's at the high regions. I cover up people everything sound a book She's doing that laugh where she snores like You know, are you because when I'm around like, you know, even now if I'm around like a big actress or right? I've been in those situations. I get nervous. Yeah, you're nervous as fuck. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, and you know we'll talk about you know talk about that shit, but Three hours like three and a half hours and you almost feel like therapeutic is a yo You know my grandmother would I said my grandmother would put me in every sentence even if I fucking did they go
Starting point is 00:12:53 Uh, so what happened to that dog? You had that fucking dog was fucking shit. Not over the house like George Everything yeah, you know, uh, you know goes to the Christmas fucking play Never goes to the play We're up there fucking singing she gets up. So you're singing Fucking gets up and fucking walks out. Yeah, my dad we have a photo of it I was doing Huckleberry Finn, right? I play at Huckleberry Right, right. So, you know when you an Asian guy or Korean dudes playing Huckleberry friend You get an applause break when you hit the stage lay up like because you don't expect it
Starting point is 00:13:35 So when you they see an Asian guy with a little you know made oh my god over wall and doing this Oh, right Oscar already people are like crying laughing right, but then my mom took a photo of my dad My dad is in the third row. Oh I have it on my Instagram bro fucking dead asleep fucking awesome. Yeah, and you know, they don't realize that they're fucking you up You know, it would it would be very almost like pop-up video Like if you're a kid and your parents fuck with you or leave you alone Or my grandmother would I be doing my homework and she'd come in and turn the she wouldn't even look at She's turned the fucking light off in me. Yeah
Starting point is 00:14:11 I'm sitting in the dark. Yeah, I go. I'm in here doing my homework. She turned the fucking light I go so so so so during the day when the lights free, you don't fucking do a fucking thing by that night You fucking want to learn at night, but not during the day when you don't need a fucking lamp to do your homework Yeah, yeah, you wish a video with a little bubble would pop they go let this one go because this will fuck with you for the rest You let it and then you read the bubble like okay. I got it Because they fucking put this shit on you that affects your relationships. It affects your fucking Intimacy it affects your friendships and the awful man What my parents used to do my mom or all my aunties to my titas
Starting point is 00:14:53 They used to put all the kids under age of 10 for every single birthday party They don't they gave us boxing gloves and the kids would just box it out like we were bloodied up and then the adults Fucking serious. Yeah, I grew up in the Philippines and the adults would bet on which kid I would win human cockfights. You know what that's fucking all human cockfights. They want it amazing. Yeah. Yeah, I love it I mean, it's awful I don't think they would do is they would put this like they would put this big thick thing of Bamboo log and then they would put lube or slime on it and then whichever kid would like fall off of it first So it would you were just like hanging on like this
Starting point is 00:15:36 Loop it was just it was a physical torture tactic like there are agony was there and your child It was like Ninja Warrior then Right into the fire the yard inside of the house No, but but you know, but nobody put a fucking premium on kids like now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know, it was fun for them They're probably fucking drinking fucking laughing hard. Yeah Do you think it's easier? Let me ask you that. Do you think because we grew up because you're what 60 you said? I'm 50 right so when we were kids fucking 21 If he was a car you will take it
Starting point is 00:16:26 But but we were I grew we grew up in the day where like racism was like outward Yeah, like kids would walk up and do this in front of me and just nothing would happen And people you like the teachers would high-five the kids and then the teacher would do it You know me they didn't give a fuck right, but now kids, right? Like it's Bobby's birthday. They put the tape right But now you know because of you know, it's because of cancel culture Yeah, and it's just a different breed of kids that we're raising. They're not they're not exposed to the kind of shit that we were exposed to The but it doesn't mean it's not there though. Oh, you think it is there or maybe I think it is there I think it's there the prop the problem is that you're trying to fucking rewire the the culture in the system
Starting point is 00:17:11 But it's been going for so many fucking look at how this world runs on shit that the fucking week Just get fucking buried and yeah that fucking work You got people in fucking cages and you're fucking Latinos, too You know never before in life had there been that we all fucking loved each other You know only fucking people who don't know any fucking Latinos think that we all get along Fucking don't like you know guy. You must come from a big family. I'm an only child mother Just because it's hidden doesn't mean it's not there, you know, and then when it pops out It's a big deal, but it's it's just gonna fucking come out
Starting point is 00:17:54 Mmm, you know, unfortunately, it's better for kids because they don't have to You know be scarred by that shit, right? But also You're rolling the dice that later on That motherfucker's not gonna go shoot up the shoot up his work Yeah, they might have some like like an odd sense of entitlement that We never got like we never felt entitled to anything now. They feel entitled to everything You know, I've watched him for my you know my daughter Mayan like I never you know, I never watched YouTube at all Yeah, fucking old man, you know, kiss a cup of tea
Starting point is 00:18:28 And and now it's all I watch but in there I'm fascinated right now by people pretending to be police officers, but also the the the guy the Shooter that shot of Santa Barbara because he he Elliot Roger. Yeah, so he talked about in that video Not, you know being short being biracial not being popular with girls, but nobody's popular with girls You have to go talk to like that. Do you expect them to okay? Okay, did you see his videos of him talking about how good looking he was how he was like I'm gonna tell you something Elliot you didn't look like me right Elliot was mixed with white, right? So he had some chiseled, right?
Starting point is 00:19:11 He was me and boy for exactly. You're like his his dad got him a fancy car. Wait a minute. Nice clothes, right? I got what she said he was me and boy With what he looked like and what he had it was inside he couldn't do it I'm gonna fucking let the singer and journey that little Filipino dude. Yeah. Yeah, Arnell Pineda. Arnell Pineda So but you're right, but you're right and nothing yet his lip done like the lower lip was like, yeah, you know cosmetic already I think so the lower lip was really big like injected But you're right. He didn't look like he didn't look like us. Yeah. Yeah, but we I was able to do it I knew when I looked in the mirror when I was a kid. I looked in the mirror as a kid. I went. Yeah
Starting point is 00:19:57 You're fucked. No, no, no, but it was your picture. Yeah. No, you got you got everything fuck else And you gotta yeah, but but I don't I don't I think I saw a picture of your Instagram You're a kid. Yeah, yeah, but in my it was my own internal thought, right? I thought right? So I thought to myself I gotta do some extra shit, but I'm willing to do it, right? So, you know what? I didn't really like when I drove by the comedy store in La Jolla That's why I grew up in San Diego and I look at the open the open mic sign on Sundays and I signed up in 1995, right? Oh, I didn't go like I want to be college. I just thought, you know, I've seen it on TV I like it, right? Let me try it. Maybe and then it's just like I got an adrenaline from it
Starting point is 00:20:38 Yeah, but then but deep down I said, I always thought maybe if I got okay at this Maybe this will be something right that'll get me women Right, but I'm not gonna fucking shoot up fucking Santa Barbara, right? So so Um, did it was anybody in your in your family and in the business like there used to be a place of Japanese village You know in orange color there I You're in that place Hey, if it wasn't closed then it'd be closed now
Starting point is 00:21:08 What is that place? It's called Japanese Village. Yeah, and all the doors were like you just to get no But but they had a little you know figure. It's Disneyland, but a Chini Really at all the little bear and dancing like Like like the little dolls like the Cupid dolls like yeah, but is it like Chuck E cheese where they have the live band? But with the what are you called animatronic? Yeah, yeah worse, but worse. Yeah Yeah, I mean, but there was and you could go in there and you know like like like soaring over California Like it's not like cherry blossom. You know, I got like So so
Starting point is 00:21:47 But but that like but like that like you know and it and it was except Alpine Village was like a Switzerland thing like that all that shit. I know Alpine Village. Yeah, I have to say though George You know when I started doing comedy, but nobody in your family was a musician Nobody's like a sound engineer. He didn't speak English. My dad was a golfer. My dad played golf on his body on my body You know me with his clubs. He used to beat me with the club. No shit. Yeah. Yeah, I grew up in a violent Alcoholic home and my dad my parents my dad where it worked 16 hours a day We're immigrants, you know, I mean so I didn't have you know, I just kind of drove by a Club and I just signed up
Starting point is 00:22:25 So you just it just but you what you like you watch comedy like you had yeah, you would watch it late at night You know, I used to watch you on our senior hall all that's all right So you would watch and you go it was good to see you on it and like a Margaret was another one Where I just kind of go. Oh, I mean, you know, George isn't you know Asian, but like he's a he looks different Right nine percent Yeah I mean nine percent, you know, but but most of us native American and then you know, you you know, I did the results of when I had the talk show and all of I get you kind of like fuck him like I wasn't Mexican enough because of me, but we're all made of
Starting point is 00:23:09 Black black could start from first people, you know, anything surprise you about when you got your genetic information Besides that you were mostly Native American that I didn't have a casino somewhere in Oklahoma We're living off the rest of my life I think that I think the amount of the Native American was was big because It goes against what I never met my father But the person that they that they said like I didn't feel a connection to that guy There's not a lot of pictures, but whenever they would talk about or show a picture. I didn't go like yeah
Starting point is 00:23:46 I don't feel it. So it had to be my mom was a little fucking on the side and all it was shit So so I'm sure it's not who she said it was But but yeah, it does help to see it does help to see People that that look but not only that because There were not a lot of Asians doing comedy, right? It was weird I only hung out with the Hispanic comics like I hung out with Gabriel Willie Barsena You know me and Jeff Garcia, and I used to open for Carlos You know I mean and so it was weird in in the early days
Starting point is 00:24:20 I was really embraced by the Hispanic Yeah, we do all the clubs in Alhambra and all you know me You know what at the bars and stuff, you know, that's a natural thing by the way because I I came here as an immigrant Right when I was 15, I didn't meet a white person really until I was like years into it But I was so accepted within the Latino community like all I my whole high school years was just like going to quinceaneras I speak Spanish. I made out with friends uncles Quinceaneras like that that was my whole thing because it was such an easy connection to be Asian With within the Hispanic or within the Latino community. Oh wait a minute uncles were like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:24:59 That's another thing. There's a lot of shit My friend uncles are always around to make out with You know what I mean? Because it's just all the shit happens in the back yard, so they're like It's true Yeah, yeah, I don't fucking tell anybody You know so it is a lot of it's a lot of shit this Yeah, but it felt like home for me like and then around like the white community But were those people who were immigrants too or they weren't not they weren't born in the United States
Starting point is 00:25:24 No, a lot of them were like their parents were immigrants like it was a mix and like my high school Blair high school It was a lot of the kids actually like half of the Latino community there was like new here So there a lot of them were esl students and half of them. They were first generation But within that mix, I just felt like so at home because they didn't question my My ethnicity or my nationality. They were just like, ah, she kind of looks like a wetter a little bit Right, but she kind of is also Asian, but fuck it. She's one of us right like pure embrace But I think but I think that's more of the people who are immigrants that say, you know come in The house always is warm because of the stove and everybody's cooking more so than like chicanos that I grew up in
Starting point is 00:26:06 San Fernando that those parents were almost like the pair the kids of the generations, you know, they were that um and they They they they were distrustful of strangers where their parents would be like, you know, have a come and eat my grandma was like I don't fucking like them. Don't let them in the house. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but but her mom and her family would have been come in Who's that? That's my friend. Hi, and they're just you know And that but but then that and I think that's where we lose a lot of shit now that Everybody's on guard
Starting point is 00:26:41 But what I found about the hispanic audiences because I would only perform, you know in the beginning with They really did embrace me as soon as I would come. I mean they would yell out stuff Like well chino and all this stuff like that, right? Right, but it was still like, you know, it all in fun and whatnot But I you know, I went to the I was like I went to the latino laugh festival. They invited me. We're in san Antonio, right? I remember me and joey Diaz went over there. We could we had no money We begged managers to buy us meals because we couldn't eat but it was like, you know all that early experience You know, I mean was this just so vital for me dude because you know in the beginning, you know These white clubs wouldn't have me. They just wouldn't you know, and then it's as soon as I
Starting point is 00:27:21 They wouldn't so if you call the place or they wouldn't sign you up or they would Wouldn't audition. No, you would go to the improv and it's like you wouldn't you wouldn't a regular and you couldn't know You didn't even know who to talk to right because they didn't have the friend that knew right? So I will I only did was like was like You know the the the Hispanic nights or at the comedy store because I was a doorman there, but you know It's as soon as I in Nineteen nine two thousand. I did Leno and I got mad TV right in a year and then all of a sudden clubs were like All right
Starting point is 00:27:53 I had to at that point sure right You had to get credit and then they were like come on in So but but how long did I mean because like you don't give a fuck and that's and a lot of Like comedies all they do is give a fuck So when when I would see you're right. They're like, so you this motherfucker was like no shirt on fucking naked fucking thong You're just like this Crazy that you're like, how can you not fucking love this dude like already Latinos love you like when they y'all coach, you know That's like, yeah, yeah, I thought I love standing up and that's that's that's what you want
Starting point is 00:28:26 Um, so I can see it, you know, I can see it but also To get out of your own way takes fucking 20 years Yeah, and you did it enough in five fucking years like I don't know. I don't know how you did it It was probably five six years. Yeah, where you got out of your way faster because You nobody tells you you got to get out of your own way I think you find it But then you however your process was like you're like, I'm not gonna give a fuck early And that's I think when you think about how time we waste so much time you guys don't get better
Starting point is 00:28:57 Yeah, yeah, guys don't get better They're around and they're around a long time and they're not better or they're not different You were different and better every time somebody saw you well I think the most important thing was is that not only was I Asian but there was I'm not, you know, I mean I'm a specific there wasn't an Asian like me Right like authentically like me like I think that's why when I first met him like a decade ago or eight years ago Yeah, I was like that one that Asian is so So fucked up. That's the one I want like I I don't I don't
Starting point is 00:29:31 I don't relate to the do-gooders like I didn't you know The just by virtue of even telling people you're Asian automatically They put you in a box of being like a model minority and all of this stuff So when I saw this motherfucker just like half naked at the comedy store. I was like I want that one That one I tell you okay. Listen. I'm gonna be 60 April 23rd. Yeah In my life, I have never heard a Let's say Latina, Filipina, Chiquita all across all of it together Any woman say then when she saw a guy and he was fucked up that they say
Starting point is 00:30:07 That's the one Word of God Because because if if women would just fucking understand that you're fucked up And try and let you be fucked up, but you'll come home. Like you'll be so much better But remember I grew up boxing as a kid Like I between him and I But yeah, yeah, but whatever whatever it is, you know, what that's a fucking beautiful thing because judgment Doesn't go away when fucking people judge you they

You guys fucking nice to each other Yeah, we're nice to each other. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because I know you posted an instagram post and you call it like the rice and beans tour Yeah, that'd be great, but it's you know, I'll be honest with you. There are times where like if I'm around chappelle Right. Yeah, and he's we're hanging out talking It's not like I'm fully there It's like when bill burrs here, right when I'm talking to I hang with bill burr all the time I'm not fully myself. I'm kind of in my head a little bit because and I also added a little bit Because I want them to think that I'm cool
Starting point is 00:46:35 Right. That's the honest thing, right? Right. There's certain people that I'm around where like if I'm around Johnny Sanchez or you know, I mean, I'll spit on I don't go fuck, right? But like or you know, even other big comics like, you know, whoever it might be right Santino or whatever, right? But it's like there's certain people where you you're just kind of around Mark Marin's another one like that. Well, it's like I kind of I edit Don't say that. You know what I mean? Say this in a nice way and I'm like that with George. I have, you know, maybe in time It's just called reverence It's right. Oh, but you know, you know, we haven't spent a lot of time.

Starting point is 00:47:12 But you know, I don't give off an air like you would you would like Hold back saying something, right? No, not at all. That's not you wouldn't be honest. I think you're I think maybe I think when you did build I did build version of the whole podcast thing is new to me But nobody's really ever seen me be anything outside of what I'm portraying or whatever Yeah, this is kind of the freshest approach to it. I think people are surprised To see me the way that I am and not the way they perceive me not only that what's great is is that I know that
Starting point is 00:47:41 When you come back here that we're there's other things that we can talk about because you don't have You know, a lot of guys you go they have like they're filtered, right? But you're so natural and you want to talk about things or you're not you don't shy away from things So I just think what's the podcast that you're just what is your podcast called? Oh my god, hi Oh my god, hi And um Is it out? Yeah, it's out. I think it's the fifth one. I do it over there with Val over there. Yeah, at ATC Oh, yeah, we're the ATC too. Yeah. Yeah, right on.

Obviously therapy, but uh any life wisdom. Is this a kid?
Starting point is 00:48:54 Uh, yeah, hold the z. He has no age. Get help. See you there if you're in high school and how do you ask help? See if you're living in the in the hell, you know me and wait teacher You know me my dad's beating. What do you say when I when I came here in high school? I was so spiraling out of control that I went to my chemistry teacher in tears and it said I will kill myself today If I don't get help. I don't know who to get help from I'm a I'm new to this country Somebody helped me and the school did granted. I was in and do what I do. Just pin it up in here Don't pin it up. Don't pin up. Don't do it. Just absorb it into your body. It's going to turn into a cancerous throw
Starting point is 00:49:33 But that's what I think people make themselves sick. Yeah. Yeah, so you thought about You thought about Yeah, I was in and out of institution so much three times because I was such a suicidal kid because I was so lost in this Like new American world. I couldn't figure out where I belonged. I was you know, I didn't even know like what kind of Asian I was where I fit in and you know, I had a I had a dying father. I had grown up being beat my whole life So I was just really confused. So when I came here, I was thrust into this new world in like 10th grade I was like somebody. Please. Tell me how to do it because I I'm out this bitch. I will kill myself today and
Starting point is 00:50:11 That's a big step like that's a big thing Save your life save your life and like sound the alarm on yourself. Yeah, like there's no shame in saying I'm not doing well Can somebody you know Help me a bit and you know another's YouTube and all that stuff that you just put in specifically what you're what the issue is yeah, yeah, yeah, and you'll have your own answers and gradually I think you see start to see specks of light if you dig in the right direction like if your kid is doing that, right? You know your dad beat did he beat you with a gun? I love golf I'm not sure I would love golf if somebody was hitting me with a fucking nine iron of my fucking
Starting point is 00:50:47 That's why I can't play golf. It's awful because if I smell grass. I just get I get PTSD, bro. I start shaking you know I'm in grass. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like no my dad was like you even he would even go photo on my back But um, yeah, he just beat me with ping-pong all kinds of stuff, right? Utensils, you know, I mean, you know, I mean my dad was abusive But he beat the shit out of my mom a lot worse man or my mom would like, you know Black eye and all that shit, you know, I mean, so it's just like and when I you know, I absorbed it And this is not the I'm not telling him to do it this don't do this. I absorbed it

Just don't kill yourself, bro. Yeah, when you Can I when you did drugs? Did you do them by yourself or did you do them with people by myself? Yeah, that's I think I like it alone. That's worse. So, yeah So if any if you're out, you know, when people do drugs by themselves, it's it's worse
Starting point is 00:52:02 They're more severe than you know, if we're all around like this, it can you can be fun at first Yeah, and then you slip off to your own fucking side that nobody sees you anymore and then You know, when they see you they're like, what the fuck, you know, not a lot of other bullshit, but I wish you well, man I know I know how no, no, I know how fucking hard that is man.

Starting point is 00:57:17 He goes hey when you get home look in the fireplace because there's a conquistador tile in there And it's a tile of st. George on the 1920s So you almost feel like it's I mean, you know, it's not st. Christopher. It's not, you know, the beating of water loop It's a fucking st. George tile from the 20s. So I made the mistake of calling People especially one who had just recently passed And that's when a lot of the activity came a lot of the banging and a lot of the orbs and a lot of the bullshit
Starting point is 00:57:50 But then it was in the hallway I'll show you a fucking video. There's a fucking person in the reflection of a picture That's moving in the thing. Oh my god But I took a I took a picture Like I felt here's you can see kind of a shadow I'm gonna show it to you. You can see the shadow. Okay. So when I'm in bed now all of a sudden All of a sudden there's more things happening more, you know, like you just
Starting point is 00:58:17 You're like fucking god, I feel like fucking somebody's over there So now it started to happen on the right side of the where the bathroom's over there and I would go like this and I'm like, so I took a video of that right side of my bedroom And I didn't see any orbs or anything But in the picture not a mirror the picture I see this square And I go what the fuck is that and then I I pulled it open And it's a fucking green

Yeah now Did we did we do the cleansing in the hippie way or the catholic way? Um, I think No, I think they did it the hippie way with with the sage because that shit don't work You got a fucking But no, no, listen, I know they're on their way but but
Starting point is 00:59:50 Babe, but when you see that you're you're like, I don't give a fuck Yeah, you got the only reason I'm telling you this is because when I was younger my dad's boat had to be exercised Like they had my dad was agnostic. He didn't believe in shit But it turns out like they had like a haunted steering wheel in his ship So they there was a family of five living there and the priest had to exercise it and the next day the priest died Okay, wait, is this of a peacock? My dad like went through a depression He grew his beard out and he slept on the couch for like six months and he wouldn't speak to us for six months
Starting point is 01:00:26 What I'm saying is this shit is real No, I know I believe in this shit and it freaks me out and I want to make sure that not some like young hippie With some say I get it. I get it. Yeah, but they're for right now They're gone but but also fucking move bro, but also but also when you have things of other people Like I have things that belong to people who were were famous Part of their fucking spirit and their energy is with those things even things that are just collected from people that They you know, you see you a robe and you're like man that fucking robe was my dad Like I just he was to wear this robe and you have the robe you have part of his
Starting point is 01:01:04 Energy is his self in there. You know, you leave things. That's why you know when someone dies and you you know Everybody's sad and then they go look what he left and you look at something that belongs to him And you fucking just you're destroyed because that's them their essence is their essence. That's them. That's what they like That's what they did. Do you feel as though these people or these entities living there were they of the? Friendly variety You know in the beginning but then in the last six months. I call somebody Spirit and they fucking showed up. I'm telling you and and since that time it's been
Starting point is 01:01:44 It's been more like I'm like And then that that shit and the fucking orbs and the name words and the fucking mist in the hallway and the middle of the night You're just like this is fucking insane and I just I just had enough like, you know in the video I saw something that I that I didn't see before and when I saw that I Said this is this this is fucking way past anybody's fucking tolerance level like there's a there's a person in The reflection of this picture. That's wearing white. That's move. That's moving and I'm like that that fucking man That's it and I didn't want you could have been in your girlfriend or something. No No
