Yeah, it's a trip, because some of my clients, they went to Harvard. You know what I mean? Really, homie?
Starting point is 00:04:37 It motivates me, because out of all the options that they have to get physically fit or get personal trainers or qué pedo. Then they were like, hey, all the research that I did, all the calculations led me to Creeper, homie. So, you know what I'm saying, homie? Yeah, yeah. I'm very grateful for that. Yeah, yeah. What kind of books do you read, dawg? I read a lot of ones.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Recently, I read one called Abracadabra. And it was just like Little party tricks Magic tricks that you could do at parties Oh that's good Oh wow Yeah Yeah homie So you learned some shit huh?
Starting point is 00:05:12 I learned a couple things eh? Yeah yeah yeah To impress the ladies Yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah You know mostly To whoever eh? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:05:19 Yeah yeah yeah I'm about like One love positive vibes eh? I'm not Hey I'm not one of those bros eh? Where's that chicks? And I'm like hey How's the energy in this whole room together? Yeah That's what I noticed about like one love, positive vibes. I'm not one of those bros, hey, where's our chicks? How's the energy in this whole room together?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Yeah. That's what I noticed about you, man, because there is like a new age vibe about you. Now, I'm not calling you a hippie or nothing like that, bro. That's the way you had said it, though. Yeah, yeah. There's a new age vibe about you. I saw little sparkles. Did I offend you when I said that or what?
Starting point is 00:05:43 No, no, homie, no. I'm embracing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Embrace it. It's not a negative thing, bro. I'm just saying that there's no aggression. I feel like maybe earlier in your life maybe you could have been aggressive a little bit, but you let all that shit go.
Starting point is 00:05:59 There was a time I was in a bad place, homie. I was angry at the world, you know? I felt like the world was against me, homie. So I'm like, hey, fuck the world, man. You know what I mean? Trying to hold me back. Everything's against me. But then I caught myself like,
Starting point is 00:06:09 hey, homie, that's no way to live, creeper. You know what I mean? You got to get your mind right. So what happened? I was living like that. Every time I step out, hey, who's going to try
Starting point is 00:06:16 to fuck with me or whatever? But really, it was like, hey, homie, if I was projecting that, then that's what you're going to get back. But then I said, hey, you know what, homie?
Starting point is 00:06:24 You got to switch that up. And so I started to think positive things and just do nice things for people. Give me an example. Even little pedo, like opening the door at Denny's. Let the people go first. And then eventually, homie, it helped me to feel better. And then it brought me that energy back. And then eventually it led me to being a fitness instructor. I was like, hey, I'm here to help you, homie. it helped me to feel better, eh? Yeah. And then it brought me that energy back, and then eventually it led me to being a fitness instructor.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I was like, hey, I'm here to help you, homie. All right. I'm going to get your body right and your mente también, you know? Yeah, but it's so weird to think that, okay, you had a troubled past a little bit, you're out in the streets, and then you just one day just decided to be positive. Why fitness?
Starting point is 00:07:02 I mean, how did that start? Well, because that was helping me on me so i was like hey i was working on my mind you know doing meditations and this and that like hey like um just putting out all the dumb people like nah get away from me right now yeah um don't be like don't say like that right now i don't want to be from i want to be away from your negative energy yeah and you know i try to be like hey i'm alive right now you know i have to be able to take a breath hey i'm connected to the earth and everything and it helped me to feel better homie and be more focused and then so i started to work out
Starting point is 00:07:34 to do like little cardio i'll do my little runs you know and it will generate positive thoughts no i said you owe me when my body's moving i'm thinking good things hey yeah and so it led to me hey let me take it to the next level. Hey, let me take it. And then I was looking for things around me to develop a routine, a cholo fit routine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then people started to come to me like, hey, Creeper, let me get a session. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Dang, you know, so abracadabra. So yeah, it worked out, homie. Yeah. So, bro, I mean, do you think I'm fit or you think I need some fucking exercise, dog? No, I mean, it depends, homie. It's all about how you, you know your own body, eh? You know what I mean, do you think I'm fit or do you think I need some fucking exercise, dog? No, I mean, it depends, homie. It's all about how you, you know your own body, eh? You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:41:35 I'm trying to get it right, man. Let me say something about you, man. So we first met, I think the first time we ever met is when we started doing like proper meet is when we first started doing improv spots together. Yeah, yeah. At the Hollywood Improv. Right. So the first time I saw you, I knew who you were and we kind of like bonded there, but
Starting point is 00:41:55 we didn't get too deep. Well, I knew who you were before you knew who I was. I mean. What do you mean? I was still, I was living up in San Francisco and I was doing a show once every other month. What do you call that? Bi-monthly or?
Starting point is 00:42:08 Yeah, yeah. At the Hollywood Improv. And you came in on a couple of those shows or they booked you on it. Right. And I'd come up to you, thank you so much for being on my show. And you were kind of like, yeah, whatever man, the club booked me. Was I really like that? Nah, nah, you were cool.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, no problem. Thanks man. Yeah, but the, but what it just, in my mind I'm like, cause Nah, nah, you were cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, no problem. Thanks, man. Yeah, but just in my mind, I'm like, because then I started following Cholo the Creeper. Yeah, yeah. Right? And then I was just like, and then when I saw you, I was like, there he is, right?
Starting point is 00:42:35 And we kind of talked. There he is. There he is as a guy, right? And then I saw you do stand-up as you, right? As Frankie. And I was like, I legitimately went, oh no, this guy's a legit standup. Like, you know, because you never know,
Starting point is 00:42:50 like from YouTube to social media. And then when you watch, you know, that crowd, it's not an easy crowd, that crowd at the improv, right? And I was like, oh no, this guy's legit. And then the next time I saw you, I got kind of more excited about, and then you and I kind of
Starting point is 00:43:06 began having a spiritual connection. Yes. Would you say that? Fuck yeah, we cried. We cried together, dude. Yes. I think about that every day. Yeah, I really do think about that every day, though. Yeah, because we, I sat there with him and we, I've never talked
Starting point is 00:43:24 to a comic that long before and that deep. And we sat, because we, I sat there with him and we, I've never talked to a comic that long before and that deep and we sat there and we talked and we just kind of weeped a little bit together. That's kindred.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Kindred spirit. That it's like meant to be. And then I realized, I go, this guy Frankie, I, I love this guy. Like I connected with him.
Starting point is 00:43:41 And so like, I care about you. It's so weird. I do care about you I want to know what's going on and all that kind of stuff right so you know when you asked earlier do I there's no judgment on my part right I honestly think that you're super talented I honestly think that you and I um you know I mean are going to have a friendship beyond this, right? And I can't say that a lot about a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:44:08 And so, you know, that's difficult for me to say because I want to put my comedy hat on and, you know what I mean, be silly and funny, but I just don't... Cholo, Fit Creeper, that's one thing. But with you, Frankie, I just have to say that I really connected with you, homie. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Yeah. Thank you for saying that. Yeah, yeah. Because I was, after that night, we had that talk and we were literally in tears. And then we had to kind of, when the crowd came out and the show ended, we kind of be like. People were like, oh, you want to take pictures? I was like, yeah, yeah. Thanks for coming to the show.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Yeah, yeah. That was a magical night that i can remember that night yeah but i i man that that's when i shoot you those text messages and all that i'll think about that when i'm struggling on my shit yeah yeah and uh so can we talk about a little bit about like so you and i yeah and people that listen to this podcast know that you know i've struggled with drug addiction and relapsing and whatnot. And that's essentially how Frankie and I connected because we both struggle with the same thing. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:45:08 And there's a lot of things about your past and your history that I relate to. Yes. You know, I think we're both little ethnic guys in comedy. I think we're shaped the same in a weird way. Does that hurt your feelings? No, no, no. I mean...
Starting point is 00:45:22 Yeah, we're like little frijoles. Like we're two little beans. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. You guys should do a two-man show. When I look at you, you're like the Hispanic version of me on so many different levels, I think. Right, right. We're not that tall white dude that tells jokes.
Starting point is 00:45:42 The funny little homies. The classic funny little homies. We're classic. I got you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. That tells jokes, you know what I mean? The funny little homies. Yeah, we're the little homies. The classic funny little homies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're classic. I got you. What's up, dog? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:45:50 If Creeper and Toki the Dum Dum went on the road. Oh, my God. That would be great. That would be great. That would be so good. That would be so good. Also, I have to also say there's a bond because I feel like, and I've said this before, when I first started doing standup,
Starting point is 00:46:07 I used to open up for Mencia all the time. And I used to hang out with Felipe, and when everyone was young, and Jeff Garcia and all these fucking guys. And I feel like I did the Latino Laugh Festival, and I felt like that was a group of people that accepted me, you know what I mean? The Latino comedy scene, you know what I mean they the um latino comedy you know scene you know i mean they really did
Starting point is 00:46:27 accept me and they called you know i would do the road with a lot of these guys and stuff like that so it's like i don't know why i just when i see uh mexican dudes or latino dudes doing comedy i just tend to gravitate toward them and feel comfortable you know know what I mean? Because you guys are like a cool, open culture, bro. You guys. What, was that weird? What, what, what? No, analyze it. What did I say that was weird?
Starting point is 00:46:52 No, no, no. Yeah, we're... What do you mean, bro? It was just like a white guy. Yeah, you guys. You guys is just like you people. The culture. You're good. Yeah, like you people. The culture. You're good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:08 The culture, dog. It's fine. Yeah, yeah. It's not fine, dude. I want to change. If I stepped over the line, bro, I want to fucking be able to change. You're good, homie. You're good.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Homie, what's up? Good night. You good? Yeah. Dude, we cried together, bro. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We did.
Starting point is 00:47:24 I don't cry with white together, bro. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We did. I don't cry with white fools, bro. I feel like that's what, I mean, like, when I see you and your struggles, you know what I mean? There's more of identifying, almost. It's a weird thing. It's like, I could open up to you, bro. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:39 I mean, yeah, well, you know, we were always cool with each other and da-da-da, but after that night, and then you being open, too, and being like, dude, I was molested and all this shit. You were like an open book on that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, it made me feel at ease, better. I was like, hell yeah. And then ever since then, I've been like, you know, I always thought you were cool as fuck, but now I'm like, oh, dang, that's the homie right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Let me ask you this because i'm curious about this so you started doing stand-up as frankie and then right yeah right and then when did you come up with um creeper oh man so yeah this this past september was like 16 years since i started doing stand-up wow i did it in san francisco that's the first time i did it i lived up there for almost 15 years. Wow. I got a lot of family, a lot of homies up there. But this past February was 10 years since I did the first Creeper video.
Starting point is 00:48:33 But he was like doing real over-the-top, stereotypical, like, hey, I'm a cholo, I'm a stab you, and all this shit. Yeah. It took me a while. They had to polish him up, find his voice, and ground him more, you know? Yeah. Make him feel like a real homie. And then, yeah, once it got there, I redid a video we did. up find his voice and ground him more you know yeah i feel like a real homie and so and then
Starting point is 00:48:46 yeah once once it got there we did a we i redid a video we did it was called cholo whisper and that's when he got rescued from the crs of cholo rescue services the family was having trouble with him yeah they called in a cholo whisper and that one you know did it got some you know it had like half a million views and people were like you need to do another one so i'm like oh he's gonna need to have to get a job in cholo whisper part two is what you know and then i was gonna have trouble getting a job i was gonna do and he was already kind of doing some yard workouts in the backyard on cholo whisper so i was like oh i know he could teach a workout class in the backyard and we called it cholo fit yeah and then we put that out and then it just fucking it blew up like yeah yeah and then you just that's the voice and
Starting point is 00:49:23 that's where you went you went yeah and i just started going deeper and deeper with him because it's based on my dad you know my dad was old school cholo and but one of the most positive people i know like a great dad always chuck taylor's dickies white t creased and always drove a lowrider but always driving me to practice and oh is he still around yeah hell yeah oh. He must be so proud of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my son, man. What's up, mijo?
Starting point is 00:49:48 Yeah, yeah. And then, how did this fool happen? Oh, man, that's, you know. So the homie Chris Estrada, it's loosely based off his life. And he was, I met him at Echo's Under Sunset. It was just like this open mic in Echo Park. It's not there anymore, yeah. And that was the first time I met him at Echo's Under Sunset. It was just like this open mic in Echo Park. It's not there anymore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:06 And that was the first time I saw him. You know, even as a, you know, when you see a comic that you've never seen before, like that's funny, it's funny, you know, it's inspiring. You get those chills back in the night. I said, damn, this is the motherfucker right here. Yeah. He had a whole story right there in his little eight minutes, whatever. And around that time, Cholo Fit went viral.
Starting point is 00:50:23 So I was able to go on tour and I asked him to come with me. So we were touring for almost four years. Oh, wow. And he started, homies of mine, you know, and his, you know, the guys that did corporate on Comedy Central, or yeah, Comedy Central, Matt Inglebrinson, Pat Bishop, Jake Weissman, they kind of came at Chris and were like, hey, man, we see a show here here and then they started working on it so i was just kind of always just you know chris would you know chime in with me and we'd spit bonnie but here's where we're at but it was like four years in the making wow and fred armisen stepped on and he was fucking with it and then you know jonathan groff who did blackish and all that they all stepped on and then they were writing the part for luis is like this big for like a more on the nose like bigger writing the part for Luis as like this big, for like
Starting point is 00:51:05 a more on the nose, like bigger than Chris, tougher Vato, like all tatted up. Yeah. And they were trying to find that dude and they were having trouble finding him. And then, you know, they were like, well, you know, they were like, we always knew we're going to have you be part of the show in some capacity, whether it's a writer's room or another character or what. Yeah. But they weren't envisioning me playing Luis.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Right. And then when they were having trouble finding that dude like why don't you have frankie you know start reading for it and i started reading for it and uh it was basically just chris and like one other producer and nobody everybody else was like we love frankie but we don't see it and i don't blame them because i really had nothing out there that would show that i could play this part that i could act none of that i was doing mostly just characters and stand-up and shit and but chris knew i could do it i knew i could do it but i'm not a cocky motherfucker i'm like i'm just like just give me the opportunity homie yeah yeah and so i started
Starting point is 00:51:52 reading for it and slowly more and more people started coming on board but all those execs at those you know without you you are i mean without you i don't see it right honestly because it's like you know you created the army of people because i want to say something to you when i'm at the improv with you right and all the people that come out of the room half of them are for you right like i was even shocked i'm like oh these are fucking bobby lee people's real i was sitting with like, oh, these are fucking Bobby Lee. I was sitting with him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a lot of that going on. People were in line to take photos.
Starting point is 00:52:31 They didn't even know who the fuck I am. In my head, I'm like, don't know. This guy's the fucking for real. So you have an army. I knew that, right? So what I'm saying is that I don't think the show would be even close to what it is without you bro
Starting point is 00:52:45 oh right yeah yeah yeah I mean when I would see the poster I'm like oh you know that's in my mind I literally went
Starting point is 00:52:51 oh they did the show around Frankie that they came to you with the deal we want to do but that's what it seems like you know what I mean right right
Starting point is 00:52:59 yeah yeah well that's amazing the way you said it man that's crazy yeah yeah you fought for it yeah my homie, yeah. You fought for it. Yeah, my homie Chris Estrada, he fought for it. He went to bat for me, man.
Starting point is 00:53:08 You know how that goes. And it was like nobody else was seeing it. They were basically like, all right, you guys haven't been wrong yet, so Frankie's your guy. They were kind of like, that's your guy. But who would they have cast? I don't know. They were pushing for some people I can't mention.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, really? Like a name? Yeah, they were pushing for some people I can't mention. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, really? Like a name? Yeah, they were going for bigger names. Maybe other Mexicans that weren't from the area. Yeah, yeah. It was important that it felt authentic in every way. But now they're like, oh my gosh, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:53:43 We're so sorry. Now they're like, oh my gosh, thank you so much. We're so sorry. Well, it reminds me of Al Pacino in Godfather. Why? What happened there? Yeah, dude. Right, because nobody wanted him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:55 In fact, every day Al Pacino would show up on set and he's like, I think today's the day I'm going to get fired. Oh, really? Yeah, because nobody, and people would talk about it like you're going to get fired today. And every day What's the director fuck? Coppola was like, I'm sorry. I don't know. I'm trying I'm trying It was only until that one scene where he shoots that you know I mean when he goes that little cafe and shoots people after that scene everyone saw the fucking dailies and went he just yeah
Starting point is 00:54:23 He just got the job. What was he doing before that? He was a theater guy. Like a Broadway theater guy. And same thing, they were like, this little shrimp, he's not the fucking tough guy. Yeah, Michael Corleone. Gangster. There's no way. But they had this one guy pushing for him. I was like,
Starting point is 00:54:39 nah, this is our guy, this is our guy. And then fucking what happened? Every day he would show up and it would stress him the fuck out. Al Pacino was like, it was the nightmare. He would wake up every, like,
Starting point is 00:54:50 why am I even going? They hate me. They could feel it on a set and then he fucking, and that's what it feels like with you. It's like, they saw it
Starting point is 00:54:59 and they're like, okay, that's the guy. You know what I mean? That's amazing. One of the producers that started pushing for me, he was like, oh man, he's bringing like a Joe P pesci vibe like it makes it more interesting i love it because i was like the little homie you know yeah like hey homie like you know i was kind of like
Starting point is 00:55:14 oh this guy could get crazy yeah yeah yeah so i was just tapping in were you but let me ask you were you nervous no once once i got it i was just ready to go because all the the producers were like friends you know like i'd known those guys for well over a decade you know all right they were they had to like fight for me but once i got in there i was like let's get to work it must also feel good that you know everyone fought for you yeah yeah so by the time you know it was time to start you were like oh everyone around me wants me here. Yeah. And they were just like, so I was like so grateful to them, you know, because they really had to like push for me.
Starting point is 00:55:52 They had to really push for me, man. They were getting a lot of pushback. But you know what makes me fucking mad, though? It just hit a fucking sore spot with me. Is that even after Mad TV, when I was on Mad TV, right? They're like, he can't act. He does sketch. Right? Right, right, right. But what do you think sketch is, right? They're like, he can't act. He does sketch, right? Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:56:05 But what do you think sketch is, dog? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Acting. When I see you in those videos, you're playing, I believe you, that you're this guy, right? You're doing dialogue with other people around you who are acting, right? It's acting, dog.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It makes me fucking mad. Yeah. Right? You can act based on your fucking Creeper videos. Right? But the networks
Starting point is 00:56:29 assume, oh, we don't know. He's not a traditional. He's not from fucking the actor's studio or whatever the fuck. Right? But apparently
Starting point is 00:56:37 that's we don't know is not just for sketch people. It turns out that's the same case for Broadway people like Al Pacino, right? There's always going to be people who are just like, we don't know if he's the right fit.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Maybe there's someone better. I don't think it's just sketch. I just always think if it's someone who's not like a big name, they're always going to push back. Even though, was there a bigger name on anything bigger than Creeper? No, there wasn't.
Starting point is 00:57:04 These people were just dumb-dumbs. They want to be able to justify their jobs. Yeah. And I know what's right, and I have this background, and I'm the boss, and I'll make the decision, but at the end of the day, it's like, they don't know. And it makes me so mad.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Because for years, that plagued me. I couldn't get into places because he's not an actor. Comedians have that in general. They're like, he's a comedian. He's not a real actor. Granted, there are a lot of comics that can't act. For sure. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Let's clarify that. I've been there. I've been in positions where I'm like, I don't name names, but even when I was mad, I'm like, I would tell the cashier, I know this guy that can do this. Like, all right, bring him in. And I've given the sides, then come in, you know what I mean? And not be able to do it.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Right? It's so fucking hard. Yeah. We've been there, too. I mean, what? I've been that guy, too. Yeah, I've been that guy too yeah yeah I've been that guy too
Starting point is 00:58:05 yeah yeah but you know it's like just give us a shot man yeah yeah I'm so glad and so you have other shit that you're doing too I don't want to get into it
Starting point is 00:58:13 because it's probably not real but I've I've talked to you and you know what I mean there's other shit in the horizon yeah yeah yeah for you dude yeah
Starting point is 00:58:19 I really want you Frankie to really take sobriety seriously. I took a turn. Yeah. I took a turn. Are we allowed to talk about this?
Starting point is 00:58:31 Yeah, I think I can talk about it. Are you okay with that? Yeah, yeah, go ahead, man. No, because. It was a left turn. It was a left turn. I know. It was a left turn.
Starting point is 00:58:42 I'm sorry. I'm confused because I know that that was a left turn. I'm sorry. I just, I'm confused because I know that that, like, that's off my topic. But, like, did we ask if he was okay with that? No, but we, I also asked, you know, we'll cut it out if it's weird. Oh, okay. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, we're good. Yeah, we're good, dude.
Starting point is 00:58:55 No, because this is what we cried about. Okay, but I know that, but people don't know that. Maybe you wanted to keep that private. Is it cool for you to talk about it briefly? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we can talk about it. All right. All right, so, no, it wasn't, I don't even want to talk, Frankie, I don't even want to talk about it. I just wanted to tell you
Starting point is 00:59:09 that. No piñata, homie. He's bringing up shit. I don't want to talk about it, but let's talk about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to say that I care about you, right? And hopefully that you would, you know,
Starting point is 00:59:23 if I was slipping up a bit, that you would say the same to me, right? And I want to have that kind of relationship about you. Right. And I hopefully that you would, you know, if I was slipping up a bit that you would say the same to me. Yeah. Right. And I want to have that kind of relationship with you. That's all. No, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:30 I mean, man, all that shit. I mean, I always partied, you know, it was like, it was, it's what I grew up around.

Starting point is 01:01:37 that character you know and i was just like in it like because i live by myself i was just like walking around doing you know you go home you only have like an hour before you got to go to sleep because you got to be on set at 5 6 in the morning I get the tattoos put on me on that shit, so it was my whole life, but then when it finished I was like oh, I'm not Luis anymore. I'm back to Frankie. Yeah, Frankie deserves a reward I just banged the shit out and then that reward just fucking went crazy home. He had a little tackle box Everything in there no fucking press pills Medications pain pills cocaine yeah, pain pills, cocaine.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Yeah. Fucking, and I'll be like, okay, here's what I have to do today. I can get by doing these drugs and then it started affecting my, because then I would go into these,
Starting point is 01:02:12 if I had days off, I would just ghost people, disappear for like two days. Just get on one, you know. I never would want to do drugs by myself and then that's,
Starting point is 01:02:20 turn in and that's the only time I want to do it. Oh shit. Because I don't have to worry about being in public, people recognizing me, or people judging me, how fat a line I was doing,
Starting point is 01:02:29 or be a fucking weirdo with my shirt off, like not have to answer nobody, just me in the bag, homie. The bag's giving me everything I want. You guys are so similar, because when he relapsed, he has no interest in any type of socializing and doing drugs.
Starting point is 01:02:43 He wanted to be home and get fucked up. Yeah. By myself. By himself. It's the best. That's my jam. That's my jam too, dog. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:50 Yeah. Just, I guess I can do one more. It's been about 25 minutes. Let me get one in there. You know, just. But the problem, Frankie, is that because
Starting point is 01:03:01 you have built this little empire, right? And, you know, built this little empire, right? And, you know, I know my schedule, right? That lifestyle doesn't fit, you know what I mean, the stuff that God has given me. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? And you're constantly conflict.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Those things collide. And then that's when things become uncontrollable. And I feel lost. Yeah. You know what I mean? And so it's like, for me, God has given me this chance to stay sober. I have a lot going on in my life. And I show up. And I do the best I can.
Starting point is 01:03:36 But my point is that I don't think that I'm not made up to do both. I can't do both. It's crazy. I don't know how to do it you know i mean i go wild and i go all the way yeah you know i mean and there's no stopping me well i mean i because i did six pretty much like five weeks on the i was in five different places canada philippines hawaii new york i barely came home and i wasn't calling anybody and when I was in New York I was having funny thoughts
