So I want to introduce this next guy and I'm you know, I have to be honest with you
um
We've had okay get we've had big a big gas, you know, I think this is one of the biggest ones we've had
You know aquafina to Vinny Hatterst David Spade dice
We've had all kinds of people but this next guy has to be up there man because I really look up to him
He's the first guy I ever paid
To watch comedy he was performing at the Nokia and I wanted to get on with this eight at this Hispanic girl
Mm-hmm, right
If you like and I love George, right and at late at night
We were watching YouTube videos with George's stand-up and stuff like that and so I was like I and I was sold out
So I call CAA my agents and I go hey, can you give me is it we got you fourth row tickets, too
But then they made me pay for it for my oh, yeah, yeah
And so we go to the show right packed, right and there's other celebrities in the audience, too
Yeah, so and then I saw something I've never seen and I always thought to myself. I want that
I want to just be that George comes out and he I think his back was turned to the audience or something and
There was a nine minute
applause break Jesus. He stood there
Wait that exact pose
His back was turned
Nine minutes, right and people crying
Crying right and I'm you know, I've never seen this shit fucking amazing
I want to be that and then he turns around. He was so funny very funny. We were crying, but
Obviously he had his own show, right?
But you know the one also the one thing I also want to say is you know
um, a lot of people they make it and you kind of go I
Don't know, you know
They make it and you look you drive by a bill billboard. I know a lot of people and you drive by you go
That was luck, right? 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
They might say oh, you know, I'm very non-judgmental then someone parts of their fucking driveway
They're like you fucking wet bags and I fuck you and it just comes out. Yeah, but you know that it's it's
Yeah, it's great. You know when you were mentioning earlier about your rise and stuff like that and I just I kind of like
You know, it's almost as like because I knew about the Sander Bullock encounter
You know me and how you made it but it's like um and that was and that's just an opening
That's just a fucking door open. That's not like, you know, hey, you're gonna be a star
With the after the after the I used to cry at everything too, man. Like I used to cry all the time not so much anymore
But it was just so fucking surprising to me
Yeah, that anybody would take an interest in me because nobody did
Oh, I want to go cry and uh and uh at the end of the meeting we're going down the stairs
And and she opens a door and I say listen, whatever happens, you know today
I just want to say, you know, thanks like, you know, because it's this more than anybody's ever like taking an interest
And she looks at me. She goes, okay
Why don't you let me worry about the business part of it and you just fucking worry about being funny and I
Wow, man, I got in the car and I was fucking crying and shit
No, no, when they then you then obviously you got a call like, um, all right, they're gonna do a pilot

They have the same attorney
Sandra Bullock and Bruce Elford and and
Cliff the attorney said, you know, Sandra's got a project and Bruce didn't know who I was he said because he wanted to meet Sandra
So Sandra took me to Bruce's office. We talked. He liked me. They set it up at the ice house again, you know
Nobody said let's go somewhere else. I said fuck because you know because I was fucking killer in there
Like you know already really worked hard
But also knew that I could fucking deliver every time and then he came and he was on board
And then he brought Peter Roth from Warner Brothers and then
I love Peter's the best. Yeah
He just got replaced after so many years. Yeah, he's hot. He's a hugger hugger. He's a great guy. Yeah
Nobody tells him as a lump on his back
Everybody fucking hugs him. I don't say Peter. You don't got a
You know, get out of my eye. Yeah, and uh
and then stew bloomberg who was
The head of tv back then when that was the last tv
He that was one of the last presidents where it was about the talent and not about numbers and not about
You know a time so it was about talent. Yeah, roseanne and they had all all the you know tim allen
It was it was about tv was about the talent in the show
And then he became about numbers and then but he came to see me
And peter came to see me in there and then prisander was there and that was it
I remember the next day was flying to work at the laugh stop in houston and I land and uh
Uh was mark babbitt's there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I love that and then uh, like he calls and he goes you're sitting down
I said, uh, I'll be in the car. I'm on my way in houston and he goes. Hey, man
abc call man that
That they're about to show like six on the air
And I was liking the backseat by myself. Oh my god. I was like, whoa, man. I goes you all right. I said, yeah, yeah
Yeah, wow. I'm okay. All right. Go get ready man. We're you know, we're gonna. Well, all right
We're fucking town car, you know the black thing in the town. You know the victoria thing the cars
I don't use anymore and that's how the driver hang up and I said, hey, uh, I just got a show on abc
That motherfucker never said a word
Yeah
but then but then
When I got that fucking
I'm initial fucking bite because I'd never had the initial bite and I said to myself. I said
They're gonna have to fucking take me out of here fucking kicking and screaming
I'm not going down without working as hard as I could
Wow during that time and I had kidney disease and nobody knew, you know
And uh, I I knew that I you know, I couldn't fucking remember shit your blood's toxic
You can't remember shit that are you all right? I didn't tell the I didn't tell them. I finally had to tell them
Yeah, and uh
But this was already like
Three years in so it was already, you know beginning renewed and stuff like that. So I kidney disease from just your lifestyle
I was born premature. I didn't know
Finally through the foundation through getting a foundation. Yeah, and you know, you know
When I had when I had it done
um
I remember telling that you know my my ex-wife we talked now, you know, I was only you know
I was only disrespectful to her and for fucking 10 years
Huge mistake. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I talked to her on the way over. We talked now and but it's just part of what I didn't
You know, nobody taught me to appreciate things in life. So of course, you know
You're gonna be fucking rogue and you're gonna be disrespectful to your wife and to your kid and to this family that she tried to make
But you know, she made mistakes as well
but I was sick so she helped me when I was sick all right and um
I have to say though like, you know, because
When when you're a comic, right?
And you're struggling and no respect and all that stuff and all of a sudden because I've been in situations where a year or two
Where you're hot
Right and and when and at first when it happened
I was kind of a dick
Because I just didn't know, you know, I mean how it all worked and I just you know
I was full of myself and then all of a sudden
I I got humbled. You know what I mean? I had to humble this
You know, he had a post office today. We already fucking said, I'm sorry. Shit. No, I know no
He lost his passport
Which is the fucking
Which is the really the worst fucking thing. Yeah, all right. So I'll tell you what happened. Oh, no
I mean, let me see my side mate. Let me my say and even during the pandemic even though you can't fucking travel
Don't lose your fucking
All right, I fucked up
One more thing George
Not only that he loses passport, but his license has been expired for two years. Oh god
So there's no way to get a new passport without the license
I'm shooting a movie in may and I can need the passport and it's like and if I don't have a I fuck because it's a big movie
Right, so it's like finally. Can I just tell you what?
Okay, go ahead. Your version. You're talking about it was over. You know, I feel bad for bringing it up
I'm not married. I have to fight through a surrogate
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is so we do this all the time. I just let me just get my point across. Okay
So bro, bro, so it's like I had to get up early to go all the way to the west. Anyway, tell George what early is
Doesn't matter what it doesn't matter because George is a comic. He would understand 1 p.m. Is it? Yeah, of course
Yeah, and that's as a comic. That's early for earlier. Thanks. Thank you so much, George
So anyway, I'm sitting there right and I had to go take the photo
I took the photo all right, and then I sat back down and I didn't put my mask back on and she just
I told because we're already we're already good, right?
She's like she's just like where's your mask?
And as soon as she said that
I go
And I made a face and I put the fucking mask on
And then she goes, you know what you're acting like that to forget it
I'm out of here and she just gets up from the fucking office like a cry baby
And then she's here walking across the street, right? I have all of my paperwork. What the fuck who did all that paperwork for you?
You did
Exactly that big pile of paperwork that you're carrying in the middle of the street like that
You didn't do a fucking goddamn thing with that paperwork. I did all that. I've been in contact with your manager
I've been slaving fucking losing sleep over your passport not mine your lost power. I already stood up. Sorry. Anyway, we finally get to the post office
And I have to tell the people at the post office that yes
I vouch that he is who he is because he doesn't have a driver's license. It's a whole thing, right?
And then he has another Karen his see fit at the post office. Well, first I get recognized through the mask, by the way
That's a good thing. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool doesn't help
No, but it was cool. We're in a fight, right? I'm in the mask and some guy just comes in because I'm a big fan of your work and I go
Thank you
It felt good. It felt good through the mask bro. I'm asian too. Yeah, they can recognize an asian dude like this bro
Fuck so anyway, that's right. And I want to look at her and give her a wink, but I did it
And then what did I do? I basically said I was like look
You are a nobody
Right in this situation when things need to get done
Don't act like a princess. It's not the time to act like a princess because we need to get shit done
You're a fucking nobody as long as you don't have a passport
And that's that's that's basically what I said and you know what to kill me now in context
It's really like saying like, you know focus. Yes, that's the latino way. I'm saying you're a fucking nobody
Be fucking get down to the fucking level motherfucker. That's what I'm saying. Hey focus. Okay. Stay with me
That's it's like the simple comfort. I I fucking understand that all right, but it's like, um
I already apologized
I already apologized. We're good and we held hands in the car. We did he forced it. It was a little forced
Oh, what? We were a little forced. Yeah. Yeah. We did we did one of those. I grabbed her hand. I go, all right
Let's fucking claw. Let's get out of here. We clawed it. We clawed it. Two fingers
And then uh, I'll put it by the time we get to Ventura. I'll have fucking three fingers that will call me
Yeah, but yeah, but um, I just want to say this before just to get it out there
Is is that I don't feel like I'm better than anybody
No, just look at me right now. Don't look at anyone else. All right
Lady look at me right now. Yeah, go ahead. All right
I'm and you know this right?
I I'm a generous guy
Oh my god, here we go. He's gonna suck his own dick. I'm gonna suck my own dick for a second. Can I suck my own dick?
Yeah, it's my show because I suck my own dick. It's our show actor. It's our show. It's our show
All right. All right. It's just that um, I just want to say that
I don't think that I'm special, right? I just get in a bad mood when I get up early
Oh, it's called Diva shit. I don't even behave here, but go ahead. No, okay. George. Please. No. No, I'm
George, please. It's fascinating
I know you're the guy's iphone. No, no, it's fascinating to me. I
Yeah, yeah, I'm watching fucking serial killer documentaries
Wait, which one's your favorite? You see the night stalker one. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's a good one. He's a good one
That's a good one. He's one of my favorites. Somebody said, um, they were friends with Gil Carrillo. You know the the night stalker
Yeah, I got us. I'm trying to get him to be on the thing. I want him on this
Hey, let's see if we can get him. We'll come with Gil Carrillo. Gil Carrillo was the guy who solves it. Basically
He was the guy who he wasn't a hot shot white cop. He was the guy from Whittier. Oh, right, right, right. I like that guy
Maybe we share podcasts. I bring gill and we
We do one of those crossovers or you you could have me as a guest on your yeah, let's do that
Right and then have gill on there. Dude, that would make me so fucking happy. Let's do that. I love that guy
But, you know, let's not get far away from where you guys are. We'll talk about that like
Take a note of this. Man, Richard, Richard Elworth Harris
But I just want to say that, um, I honestly don't think that I am right
But you you frame it in a way that I'm like
Like kind of I don't want to say his name, but dang cookie
I want to say his name. Yeah. Yeah. I'm Dan's been on our show. I love dang, right? Yeah
That's not right. That's heavy, man. That's a heavy one
Like that's fucking
Because a lot of those dudes like dang was a little bit affected, you know, I don't know that
But you know, but you know, you love these guys, but you don't know how somebody's going going to react
But then sometimes and everybody comes down, but it's like how much how high do they get how how much do they think of themselves?
Yeah at his peak
Even though I was his friend, right? It was hard. I always hear stories like when kippa dot, you know kippa dotta
Sure kippa dotta. I guess, you know
He's a penis pants
Yeah, he peed in his pants, right out of just a nerve be nerve. No
It was one important night where he was on tv or something or something televised and he was drunk and he peed in his pants and that fucked him up
You know, I mean you can't why shit my but you know
But no one really saw it but those, you know
Like if I may say I was around in those times when those guys were around
So I would say because as a historian of comedy like when they did that show make me laugh
Those guys got a lot of attention kippa dotta, uh big dunlop skip stevensson
Shanley was on there frank and agai a lot of the really good guys and back then even though there wasn't cable or the or the places we have now
You really you you really weren't getting an opportunity if you didn't deserve it
So not saying that he wasn't deserved, but he was kind of you know
Just a little bit maybe like that because of that that you're not in the thing, you know letterman highway mandal
Shanley those guys, you know, um
and and uh
There's like layers like in a gym, but the comedy store would be the gym
There's some guys that like you say never get to wear the belt, but they get they maybe would have had an opportunity
But they couldn't get couldn't get there, bro
I gotta tell you sets kippa dotta story bro before he died. I get a call from the comedy store open mic
It was a sunday
And I go are you on your way? I was gonna go there to pick up a check and I went over there
And they go this old man wants to come up and do open mic, but we won't let him and I go
What's it was this old man? He goes he said he knows you because I know kip
And he goes his name is kippa. I go kippa dotta's here. I look and kip's there
And he's like hey, they won't let me on
And I fucking yelled at the fucking guy. I go. Do you know the fuck that is?
You know what I mean, but he couldn't even get up on that and then he died
Oh, no, that is you know, here's another side guy that died that I love charlie hill. Do you know charlie?
Yeah, yeah, I knew charlie hill. I helped I helped charlie hill toward toward the end
May I give him some money and bottom with me? I love charlie hill. Don't you? Well, one of the nicest guys
Oh my god, I love charlie hill so much the sweetest. He was like an american indian. Can I say that? Yeah, native american
Yeah, so, um, george did the tonight show with johnny carcass. Yeah killed
Oh, didn't get the joke. Uh, he'd come out and go. Hi. How are you? Hi, how?
Yes, yes, and then he would sing this land is my land this land ain't your life
Yeah, yeah, but also charlie back in the day didn't he go out with like a really hot actress at one point
It was like either wonder woman or somebody he had like yeah
Yeah, he hooked up with like he was the talk of the town in the 70s
Everything but that's what prior did like prior brought all those if you look at the prior shows that he did at mbc
Or whatever show he did like they were all writers
They were all he took the comedy story just said we're going to mbc. We're gonna do this marshal warfield
He took yeah, all those people all tim. I forgot his name tim thomerson tim thomerson. Yeah. Yeah, all those guys
All right, so george, I wanted to say because we're we're closing it out
But at the end of our show we do a thing called wait a minute. Are we done? No, we do another segment. Oh, all right
We didn't even fucking talk about it really anything. Oh, you're this was all George George. You're gonna come back. All right. Yeah, yeah
This is you know, man. This is not the end of our relationship. Yeah, right. Yeah
I just want to say though, bro. It's just that ask anybody. Um, I don't we've had
Pretty great guests, but like for you. I got really nervous. I don't know why because I just I really look up to you, man
I don't want to get all fucking day with a question. We're just an israel together. Yeah. Yeah, we're in israel together. 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
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. You guys never really seen me before in person
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
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. Do you like them? Yeah, I like them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Um, so at the end of our show, we do a thing called unhelpful advice and people email us with problems
And we sometimes don't know the answer but you know try or try not it doesn't matter
Unhelpful advice with George Lopez
Hi guys, I love how you are authentically yourself truly genuine
I try my best to be similar to you in being always open since I myself was abused
Let's just say my parents were monsters and I never really was a kid and there was back then it was all just horror and survival
How do you guys find the resolve or energy to get past all the abuse and even though your dad beats you?
Obviously therapy, but uh any life wisdom. Is this a kid?
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
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
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
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
Then I started doing math, you know, I mean, I used to you know, do drugs end up in rehabs
I've been a full rehabs in my life, you know, I mean, and you know, I have now over a year sober again
by relapse a year and a half ago. She was there, you know, I mean, but it's like
I've had my problems, you know, but now I have a trauma therapist and I really am dealing with all my issues, you know, but um
It just takes time. 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
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. You know, yeah, yeah to do all that shit. Yeah
No, no serious. Yeah, it was um, you know when my because see right here, bro, right here, dude
Behind all the red bullcrap. It's actually this is my dad right here, bro. That's ashes. That was my next question. Yeah
You know, so this is the bottom half of my my brother has the upper half of my dad's body
Ah, I have the boss. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because if there's a ghost, right?
You know what I mean? I don't want the upper half. Wait a minute. I have my fucking houses. There'll be there'll be some ghosts
All right. Yeah, but you have a haunted house, George. Oh, yeah, I had somebody come. That's another. Hey, so
No, no, no, no, no, don't don't don't you can't just
Or
House, bro
This is our favorite genre is haunted
Right now the house you're living in right now is haunted. I had somebody come and clean it
and I'll show you
When I when I moved in there was noise
And I thought that's an old house and then I heard ma
And I fucking shot up and I said somebody I said someone's in here
Fuck you go downstairs with the gun. Nobody's around
Then you hear noise on the other side of the the house for years and you hear it and you're like, okay, you kind of make
Peace with it. You know, you're like, all right, you know, and then people come over and they're like
Hey man, I went into your kitchen to grab that stuff
You asked me to grab and when I I fucking could feel somebody behind me because I thought it was a driver
And I looked back there wasn't anybody there. So I fucking ran out of your house or the or
Somebody'll say they came to do one of these like door dashed kind of promos
Yeah, and the lady was doing the sound and she told the person that was with me
She says tell George that I hear somebody talking
So if you can ask them to be to be quiet and there was I said, there's nobody here and the lady
Fucking saw somebody fucking walk by and then it I'm gonna show you this picture and then
I'll show you a video, but I'm gonna show you this picture. So
So
Whatever you do
Listen, if anybody has a fucking Ouija board throw that motherfucker
Away today. Well you did Ouija in that house black mat. No, no, no, but it's black magic Ouija board
It's funny. You could get one of fucking cv. It's fucking black magic, man
Don't fuck with because you're calling people that are having gotten to where they belong
Yeah, I know I've seen the movies, bro. You know, remember when I saw the exorcist, bro
Motherfucker exorcist says hey father. You have any change for a cat?
they if
They will if you're calling your father a fucking demon will take his voice and say
It's you know, it's me, but it's a fucking demon. So careful who you call
Because those motherfuckers won't I don't fuck around either. No, they'll come and they won't go away
George, I have one question for you. You are a
A, um, relatively wealthy man. Why the fuck are you still there?
Fucking move
Yeah, I know, you know
Okay, let me tell you this story. Let me tell you this story. So, you know, I always wanted to live in Los Feliz, right?
so
I fell out of escrow on a house that was up there and then
You know, we're driving this guy's driving. It's like two hours on a fucking you know, because it's working in San Monica
And I looked on truly and there's a house perfect fucking Los Feliz like a perfect house like you go. Oh my god
Call this lady. I said hey bro. Can you get me in there? She calls. She goes tomorrow. We're in there at one o'clock
I said nothing earlier. No, no, she goes George
They have it like every 15 minutes with a 15 minute break like everybody wants this house
So I said, oh, fuck then why even go she goes. Hey, you just go look
so I go in there
Beautiful pool things in there
Then you go upstairs come down the guy goes. What do you think and I said, uh, it's great and he goes you want it
That's what do you mean? Do I want it? Like what about all these fucking goes? I call the guys
That owner call the owner. He's a doctor. He goes he's a huge fan of yours
So I said he gets was in your house and he said oh fucking George. He goes hey telling me to give him a full price
He can have it and then there's like 50 fucking offers. Wow. So I I paid the full price and I got it and then
You know, you do some work to it and in the fireplace
So my name is George because of I was born on April 23rd and at the general hospital over there
My mom wanted to name me anastasia who they thought my father was and my grandmother's like fuck him
You're not naming that motherfucker somebody that disappeared. So my grandmother goes. What's today tells the nurse. What's today?
April 20. What's that day?
It's st. George day
So she goes George Edward st. George and I told the dude that I
The contractor I said, hey man
Can you fucking clean those fireplaces out because they look like they haven't been cleaned in forever and when he calls me back
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
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
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
face
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god, it's a green face
It's a green face
And I said I said the fuck this I said
I hired this lady to come
And fucking take them out and she did how was she um, would you say he got the green guy?
She don't know. No, they know they know fucking. Yeah
The green guy's gone the fucking dude hanging out
The mist is gone. Yeah. There was some crazy. I have questions. 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
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
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
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
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
No, no, it's a fucking thing and the thing is not a mirror. It's a picture. It's a picture like this is not this is not a
Mirror it's a picture. So that fucking face leaning in like this. Yeah. Yeah, that's
You know, they go, hey, George, that's a fable. Fuck. That's a fight. No, anybody sees that's gonna be that that's a fucking face
Yeah, that's all face. So now you go, okay, but
for whatever anybody believes
In that house it's from the 20s and shit like, you know, so yeah, yeah, and it feels it feels different
It feels different and settle but but of course, I'm sure it's gonna be a process
But yeah, all that all of that shit that that you know, it's
And I live alone. It's a big fucking house and you hear these fucking noises man
You're just like it's and out, you know, I went as a funny guy as a kid
I was afraid of everything right in the dark and all that bullshit
But you think as an adult I'm all six like all that's gone away everything that it and also for that kid that they like it when you start
To believe in yourself and believe your your worth and believe that that regardless of
You know, somebody, you know, hey listen Bukaki videos
And then you go take a shower you're brand new again
Fucking dry fucking crema
If you ever if you ever get to that that's gonna be a beautiful code by the way
When you when you get to as long as you have a fucking life
You have a chance to fucking change everything, right even there are 50 loads, you know
Yeah, yeah, but you do have it so as long as like, you know kids that are depressed and also there's
There's opportunity to be better when you're alive
Yeah, it's over, but you know
And so all the shit that I had as a kid is gone like all the things that scared me all of all the insecurities that I had
Yeah, are are gone wishing people like a Buddhist, you know practice Buddhism, but
that came from like just seeing the science man of like there was a Buddhist temple in San Fernando and
My grandmother would see him and it's the same time like Harry Christians Buddhist, you know, they don't want anything my grandma go
He goes
I said
They want my son don't want any the Buddhist don't want anything she's like I everybody want something and
You just hear that fucking voice every day and then I moved to Sherman Oaks
It was a Buddhist temple of the corner
How about a place in Hawaii it's a fucking top of the hill we get there to go get something to eat fucking Buddhist temple there
So in at the dark time of like the divorce and all that shit that you still have to go work and you go home
Are you alone fucking brutal man taking some fucking vikings and I'm fucking four locals
Listen, you don't need fucking bike anyway. You're drinking a four local those motherfuckers. Thank God. That'll make a baby
Yeah, yeah, so people should they gave me some dessert for Christmas
If you want to kill yourself there's wet, but you know what I didn't want to fucking go out like that
You know and then I started to look at the principles of like not wishing anybody harm and you know of
Trying to just be better and you know and it just and I when I met the Dalai Lama in Boston
I fucking went over there and it shook my hand and we talked and
Spoke at his 80th birthday party like five years ago and stayed connected and it's changed. It's changed
Everything about me man
Like I don't trip off anything Wow, and I'm happy to be alive and even all that bullshit. That's that would that would be like it
Yeah, there's a fucking Mexican stand in the middle of the street. I don't know y'all
Sometimes I throw it open like I can handle that shit. Yeah, because I've I've already
Seen fucking different variations of my life. That's why you can handle ghosts
Yeah, and I understand them like I don't but I won't but I won't fucking call them anymore like don't call them
Yeah, yeah, there's no come real quick
Um
Because I know I remember when Brock, you know, I mean it was
Inaugurated right you went. Yep. I
Remember watching that going it was you there was like a bunch of guys, but like Sam Jackson
My remember going wow, this is cool, right?
What when you were flying there, right and you obviously you know him
What's he like the greatest fucking do man, you know, we did a thing and he asked me we did a thing
We did a thing in in New Mexico. So Chris Rock said

Brock Boba asked him to call me because you know George Lopez, you know, I want to try to you know
See if where he is politically affiliated. So I'm driving up and the phone rings this rock and he goes hey, um, I
Don't know where you are politically, but
Brock Obama called me once wants me to tell you, you know, are you with them or anyone's to call you?
I said, all right, so he's gonna call me at like two o'clock watching the news. He's campaigning

He's fucking walking out to the cards. Yeah, he's leaving an event. Who's not gonna call me a fucking two o'clock two o'clock
Like a far ways I go alone because by the Lopez. Yeah, yeah, Barack Obama
He says listen, I don't know where you are politically and I don't know what where you are
But I'm coming to Los Angeles and I would love for you to help me
Get the Latino vote and I said you think seven votes are gonna make that big a dip
so so I
Got on board with them early and I went to Texas and I went all these places
Detroit did shit with them and they fucking booed me
Wow booed me and he and I stayed consistent. I went to I got stuck at that
Wait, who would do when you would fucking people in Mexico's in in in Harla Jen Laredo Hidalgo, El Paso fucking people
In Detroit, you know all over you fucking with Colorado, but I stayed with them and he knew that and you I stayed with wow and
and
This guy Higgin looper and the second term
They get a I get a Saturday morning, you know, 830 the fucking facts under the bed fucking after a show
You're like fuck who the fuck is this and it's a robo call they the White House called the people there
They said you think George could do this robo call because Tuesday the election in Colorado and it's a seat that
Can't go can't go red
So I look at it. I don't take a shower, you know fucking home or coffee and all this just so you look at it
It's fucking awful. You go over there. Hey, it's a Jordan. Oh, it's awful. I call that girl. I go
Hey, can I fucking just like that read the points, but don't do it like that. All right, and he wins

Because it was like that so that the Latino vote was gonna make the difference. It really did in his election. It does and
He called me up
Like the next two mornings, they're nine o'clock in the morning call me said thanks, you know
When you I remember you said when you speak people listen, I thought I'm president man. Wow again doing that shit. So
You know
It's something you don't imagine, but then you can't you also can't believe that it can't happen
Yeah, so we should imagine it and we shouldn't limit ourselves and think that's only for other people not us like it's for us
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all that shit all the good shit in life is for us
Wow, we don't have to and you don't have to feel guilty like you know what we're fucking white dudes
All this fucking money they don't bother dudes other white dudes don't fucking apologize to fucking being wealthy Jeff Bezos doesn't say I'm sorry
I'm so fucking rich. Yeah, but to us fucking sell out fucking punk motherfucker. You don't care about your community
Yeah, fucking done more for the fucking community. How about the fact that I even exist on a show?
That hasn't been off the air every fucking day that your kids can see and that you saw and kids are growing up
That's a positive fucking image of a family and every day
You might not see it and you might not think about it, but I've been in your lives for almost 20 years
Yeah, and to just disparage me that I fucking sell
No, no, it means nothing, but I'm saying but I'm saying that
You know you grow up afraid of everything and then realize there's nothing to be afraid of yeah
To be fair if I did get a phone call from Barack Obama, I too could live alone in a haunted house by myself
I
Yeah, that's a lesson. It's what what it was George. I mean just a tit just end it
I mean what an incredible fucking journey for you, bro. I mean, it's been it's been crazy. Yeah, it's an amazing fucking thing
and you know, um
Like, you know, I've been trying to play the guitar since I was 15. I saw flowers when I was 15 on the corner of
Nordov and
Um, Tampa with where the Burger King is a question from the Black Angus in Northridge a
Whole fucking night selling flowers like Christmas Eve
I made a hundred bucks and I went to Castle's music in San Francisco. I was not there anymore and I bought a fucking copy of a guitar
And my fucking stupid ass. I didn't know a guitar. It could be tuned not every string had to be tight
So there I am a fucking pendejo in the fucking back room turning it and popping strings
Oh, because I think that's how you tune a guitar. Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow. No, oh
It's like putting an air your tire into the fucking pop. Yeah, yeah
