00:00:12.709 --> 00:00:17.875
Ladies and gentlemen,
Jesus Trejo!

4
00:00:26.333 --> 00:00:29.250
What's up, everybody?

5
00:00:29.333 --> 00:00:31.458
Yeah!

6
00:00:32.417 --> 00:00:34.583
Thanks for coming out,
you guys.

7
00:00:34.667 --> 00:00:35.709
Hey!

8
00:00:40.834 --> 00:00:43.125
Thanks for coming out, man.

9
00:00:46.208 --> 00:00:49.041
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.

10
00:00:49.125 --> 00:00:51.083
Well, thank you, guys.
That's my time.

11
00:00:52.208 --> 00:00:55.208
Man, thanks for coming out, man.
I'm excited, man.

12
00:00:55.291 --> 00:00:56.792
This is it.
Um, man... life's good.

13
00:00:56.875 --> 00:01:00.709
I can't complain.
I just got an hourglass, so...

14
00:01:02.041 --> 00:01:05.000
Very excited, man.
I ordered an hourglass

15
00:01:05.083 --> 00:01:06.875
and, man, it came
and I was so excited.

16
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:07.625
I don't know
what I needed it for,

17
00:01:07.709 --> 00:01:10.959
but I was like, "I need one."

18
00:01:11.041 --> 00:01:13.792
Well, the problem was
I-I ordered a wrist watch

19
00:01:13.875 --> 00:01:16.083
and an hourglass came.
I'm like, "Oh, damn it."

20
00:01:16.166 --> 00:01:17.041
-You know?

21
00:01:17.125 --> 00:01:19.875
Don't order stuff online high,
you know?

22
00:01:21.458 --> 00:01:22.959
But I use it.
It was great.

23
00:01:23.041 --> 00:01:23.750
I would use it
to time everything.

24
00:01:23.834 --> 00:01:26.208
I would time my showers.
I just...

25
00:01:26.291 --> 00:01:28.250
just go for it, you know?

26
00:01:28.333 --> 00:01:30.458
And I would check in with it.
Just...

27
00:01:32.375 --> 00:01:33.458
I'm like,
"I still got some sand."

28
00:01:33.542 --> 00:01:35.291
You know what I mean?

29
00:01:35.375 --> 00:01:39.291
I would time my number twos.
That was fun, you know?

30
00:01:39.375 --> 00:01:40.709
Just...
and just go for it.

31
00:01:40.792 --> 00:01:43.500
Like, "Ah, right."

32
00:01:43.583 --> 00:01:46.208
I learned something.
I learned that your legs

33
00:01:46.291 --> 00:01:48.792
fall asleep about the hour mark.
So...

34
00:01:50.583 --> 00:01:52.250
That was fun, you know?

35
00:01:52.333 --> 00:01:53.542
But I kept using it and I felt
like something was off.

36
00:01:53.625 --> 00:01:55.709
I did not know what it was,
you know?

37
00:01:55.792 --> 00:01:57.625
And, uh, so I used my phone
and I timed it

38
00:01:57.709 --> 00:02:00.667
'cause, hell, I got all day,
you know?

39
00:02:00.750 --> 00:02:03.625
So I timed it and it stopped
at 47 minutes.

40
00:02:03.709 --> 00:02:05.083
I'm like,
"Aw, that can't be right.

41
00:02:05.166 --> 00:02:06.583
So, let's try it again."
You know?

42
00:02:06.667 --> 00:02:08.500
Timed it, stopped it,
47 minutes.

43
00:02:08.583 --> 00:02:12.333
I'm like,
"Damn...now what?"

44
00:02:13.792 --> 00:02:17.792
-So I called customer service.

45
00:02:18.917 --> 00:02:21.792
And I said, "Excuse me,
I'm having a hard time

46
00:02:21.875 --> 00:02:24.667
with my hourglass.
It's--It seems to be defective."

47
00:02:24.750 --> 00:02:25.750
And she's like,
"Well, how can I help you?"

48
00:02:25.834 --> 00:02:28.375
I said, "Well, um...
I just need you to send me

49
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.125
13 minutes worth of sand.

50
00:02:36.917 --> 00:02:38.500
Hello?"
And she's like, "I'm here.

51
00:02:38.583 --> 00:02:40.166
I'm here."
I'm like, "All right, cool."

52
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:42.959
She's like,
"That seems very odd to me."

53
00:02:43.041 --> 00:02:46.458
I'm like, "Yeah,
you're telling me, you know?"

54
00:02:46.542 --> 00:02:49.417
She's like, "Well--Well,
like, how would I even do that?"

55
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:50.834
I'm like, "Look, just send me
13 minutes worth of sand.

56
00:02:50.917 --> 00:02:52.750
Like, grab an hourglass,
turn it over,

57
00:02:52.834 --> 00:02:55.834
wait 13 minutes,
put your finger there...

58
00:02:58.041 --> 00:03:00.500
put that in the baggie
and send it to me."

59
00:03:04.542 --> 00:03:08.709
She goes, "This is the craziest
call I've ever had."

60
00:03:08.792 --> 00:03:11.375
She's like, "How much does
13 minutes worth of sand

61
00:03:11.458 --> 00:03:12.667
even weigh?"
I said, "Great question.

62
00:03:12.750 --> 00:03:15.583
-Uh, let me look it up."

63
00:03:15.667 --> 00:03:17.583
So, I looked it up
on Google Conversion

64
00:03:17.667 --> 00:03:19.417
and I learned something.

65
00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:20.917
I found out that
you can't convert

66
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.875
-volume to time.

67
00:03:23.959 --> 00:03:28.250
Even Google was like,
"What the fuck did you mean?"

68
00:03:30.166 --> 00:03:31.792
So I told her.
I said, "I can't convert

69
00:03:31.875 --> 00:03:32.625
volume to time."
She's like, "You know what?

70
00:03:32.709 --> 00:03:34.792
Um...
I'm gonna put you on hold.

71
00:03:34.875 --> 00:03:37.417
I'm gonna talk to my manager."
I said, "Great.

72
00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:38.125
Thank you.
Appreciate it."

73
00:03:38.208 --> 00:03:39.917
So I'm on hold for an hour.

74
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.959
I'm just waiting.
Listening to classical music.

75
00:03:42.041 --> 00:03:43.959
Some Chopin.
Who knows, right?

76
00:03:44.083 --> 00:03:46.458
She comes back.
She's like, "You know what?

77
00:03:46.542 --> 00:03:48.500
I have some answers for you.
I said, "I'm all ears."

78
00:03:48.583 --> 00:03:49.750
All right, she's like,
"Well, it turns out

79
00:03:49.834 --> 00:03:53.208
that sometimes the manufacturers
of hourglasses

80
00:03:53.291 --> 00:03:55.875
change the source from which
the sand comes from

81
00:03:55.959 --> 00:03:57.917
so there's some discrepancies
in the sand.

82
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.458
Therefore, you know,
sometimes you get a different

83
00:04:00.542 --> 00:04:01.792
count on the hour."
And I said, "Well, I don't know

84
00:04:01.875 --> 00:04:05.917
-what you just said, you know?"

85
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.709
I said, "I was on hold
for an hour for that?"

86
00:04:08.792 --> 00:04:10.125
She's like, "Are you sure
it wasn't 47 minutes?"

87
00:04:13.417 --> 00:04:16.667
-I'm like, "Game on, lady."

88
00:04:17.583 --> 00:04:18.667
And, uh, man,
we went back and forth.

89
00:04:18.750 --> 00:04:20.834
She wasn't happy
and then she hit me

90
00:04:20.917 --> 00:04:21.792
with the line
that I was so jealous--

91
00:04:21.875 --> 00:04:24.250
'cause I'm a comic
I love a good joke,

92
00:04:24.333 --> 00:04:25.625
but I wasn't ready for it.
She literally goes,

93
00:04:25.709 --> 00:04:27.750
"I don't know what to tell you.

94
00:04:27.834 --> 00:04:29.291
Maybe you got
the quicksand model."

95
00:04:29.375 --> 00:04:31.208
I'm like,
"Oh, you fucking bitch."

96
00:04:31.291 --> 00:04:32.792
-Hung up.

97
00:04:32.875 --> 00:04:35.542
I was like,
"All right, I'm outta here."

98
00:04:35.625 --> 00:04:37.542
But thank you, guys,
for coming out, man.

99
00:04:37.625 --> 00:04:39.458
-This is very exciting.

100
00:04:39.542 --> 00:04:41.792
Thank you.
Yeah.

101
00:04:44.709 --> 00:04:46.125
Very, very exciting, man.

102
00:04:46.208 --> 00:04:50.458
Uh, I'll introduce myself.
Uh, my name's Jesus Trejo.

103
00:04:50.542 --> 00:04:51.834
Uh, I'm from
Long Beach, California.

104
00:04:51.917 --> 00:04:53.583
-Born and raised.

105
00:04:53.667 --> 00:04:56.083
Yeah, yeah!
Long Beach!

106
00:04:56.166 --> 00:04:58.667
Yeah, born and raised.
Uh, I'm a only child

107
00:04:58.750 --> 00:05:00.250
-which is great, you know?
- Yeah!

108
00:05:00.333 --> 00:05:01.291
Yeah, you, too?
Hell yeah.

109
00:05:01.375 --> 00:05:04.208
Trying to get attention.
I like it. Hell yeah.

110
00:05:04.291 --> 00:05:07.667
That's a only child right there.
For sure.

111
00:05:08.625 --> 00:05:12.166
Did you have imaginary friends?

112
00:05:12.291 --> 00:05:13.875
I did.
Hell yeah.

113
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.875
You know what sucks
about having imaginary friends?

114
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.166
When you run into them
as a grown up.

115
00:05:20.667 --> 00:05:23.959
I ran into one the other day
at the grocery store.

116
00:05:24.041 --> 00:05:26.125
I'm like,
"David, what's up, player?"

117
00:05:26.208 --> 00:05:28.709
He act like he didn't see me,
you know what I'm saying?

118
00:05:30.083 --> 00:05:32.583
I like being an only child.
Man, it was great.

119
00:05:32.709 --> 00:05:34.208
That's how I grew up.

120
00:05:34.291 --> 00:05:35.834
Um, you know, if you ever wonder
what it's like

121
00:05:35.917 --> 00:05:38.166
to be a only child and have fun,
go to any bar,

122
00:05:38.250 --> 00:05:40.500
wait till 2:00 a.m.,
look at that one drunk guy

123
00:05:40.583 --> 00:05:42.083
just standing there by himself
looking down

124
00:05:42.166 --> 00:05:45.083
and every two minutes
you just see him go,

125
00:05:45.166 --> 00:05:48.291
-"Ha! That's funny."

126
00:05:51.542 --> 00:05:53.959
That's how I grew up.

127
00:05:54.041 --> 00:05:57.208
With great imagination.

128
00:05:57.291 --> 00:05:59.458
But Long Beach is beautiful.
It's a beautiful town, man.

129
00:05:59.542 --> 00:06:02.417
One of my, uh, fondest memories
is getting chased

130
00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:05.208
-by a crackhead, you know?

131
00:06:05.291 --> 00:06:06.125
It was great, man.
If you know anything

132
00:06:06.208 --> 00:06:08.375
about crackheads
you know that they have

133
00:06:08.458 --> 00:06:10.750
infinite amount of energy.

134
00:06:10.834 --> 00:06:12.542
They don't get tired,
they're skinny,

135
00:06:12.625 --> 00:06:15.750
-and aerodynamic.

136
00:06:15.834 --> 00:06:18.083
So, I was walking home from
school and this crackhead

137
00:06:18.166 --> 00:06:19.750
started to chase me
and I'm trying to talk

138
00:06:19.834 --> 00:06:21.583
to the guy.
I'm like, "What do you want?"

139
00:06:21.667 --> 00:06:23.417
He's like, "I want your shoes."
I'm like, "But they're mine."

140
00:06:23.500 --> 00:06:24.917
He's like, "Give 'em to me!"
I'm like, "Aah..."

141
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.291
So I started running
and, uh, he chased me.

142
00:06:27.375 --> 00:06:30.458
And finally he grabbed me,
threw me on the ground,

143
00:06:30.542 --> 00:06:31.458
and look,
I don't know how to fight,

144
00:06:31.542 --> 00:06:34.083
so I didn't know
how this was gonna go down.

145
00:06:34.166 --> 00:06:35.625
He started taking my shoes off.

146
00:06:35.709 --> 00:06:38.417
My only defense was to curl my
toes inside the shoe.

147
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.125
I thought I was a genius.
I was like in my head

148
00:06:42.208 --> 00:06:46.417
I'm gonna hold on to the shoe
a little longer.

149
00:06:46.500 --> 00:06:49.000
He kept pulling.
I kept arcing.

150
00:06:51.458 --> 00:06:53.709
Took my shoes and left, man.

151
00:06:53.792 --> 00:06:55.500
And I walked home in my socks
and that sucks

152
00:06:55.583 --> 00:06:57.083
'cause I didn't wanna
get 'em dirty.

153
00:06:57.166 --> 00:06:58.917
I would get a ass whooping
when I get home, you know?

154
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.625
So, I got home.
My dad was pissed.

155
00:07:01.709 --> 00:07:03.959
He's like,
"Hey, I just bought those shoes.

156
00:07:04.041 --> 00:07:06.291
Where are they?"
I'm like, "They took 'em."

157
00:07:06.375 --> 00:07:09.792
He's like, "You didn't curl
your toes like I told you to?"

158
00:07:11.458 --> 00:07:12.750
I'm like,
"Dad, I tried,

159
00:07:12.834 --> 00:07:15.333
but the guy
tickled me and I let go."

160
00:07:15.417 --> 00:07:19.041
That's a true story.
I got tickled by a crackhead.

161
00:07:19.125 --> 00:07:21.625
You know how scary that is?
To fear for your life,

162
00:07:21.709 --> 00:07:23.959
-but also have a good time?

163
00:07:24.041 --> 00:07:27.417
Like, "
No, those are my shoes."

164
00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:28.709
So my dad was like,

165
00:07:28.792 --> 00:07:29.834
"You know what?
I'm gonna put you in karate."

166
00:07:29.917 --> 00:07:31.166
He did.
He put me in karate.

167
00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:32.625
He tried to toughen me up.

168
00:07:32.709 --> 00:07:33.667
Make me, like,
a big, tough guy,

169
00:07:33.750 --> 00:07:35.083
but, man, karate's a rip off.

170
00:07:35.166 --> 00:07:38.333
Nobody stands still
in a real fight.

171
00:07:38.417 --> 00:07:40.834
They hit back.

172
00:07:40.917 --> 00:07:42.875
I took it for five years.
I'll show you in two seconds

173
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:44.667
everything I learned.
Ready?

174
00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:46.000
Here we go.

175
00:07:48.750 --> 00:07:51.959
-That's it, you know?

176
00:07:53.583 --> 00:07:56.750
-Oh, thank you, guys.

177
00:07:59.458 --> 00:08:00.917
Yeah, try doing that
in a real fight.

178
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.917
See how it goes, you know?

179
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:04.875
I don't wanna brag,
but I got a orange belt

180
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.041
in karate.
Just means perfect attendance.

181
00:08:08.291 --> 00:08:10.750
My first fight
was in middle school.

182
00:08:10.834 --> 00:08:12.917
I thought I was ready.
Some kid took my backpack.

183
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.834
I'm like, "Hey, that's mine."
He's like, "No, it's mine."

184
00:08:14.917 --> 00:08:16.542
And I'm like,
"No, my name's on it."

185
00:08:16.625 --> 00:08:18.625
He's all, "Fight me for it."
I'm like, "All right."

186
00:08:18.709 --> 00:08:19.709
And he squared up
on me properly.

187
00:08:19.792 --> 00:08:21.917
I'm like, "Oh, shit,
I don't know that one."

188
00:08:24.500 --> 00:08:26.250
So I just did what I knew.
I went into my routine.

189
00:08:26.333 --> 00:08:29.834
-Just,

190
00:08:29.917 --> 00:08:32.083
He didn't let me finish.
He just went for the hit.

191
00:08:32.166 --> 00:08:34.333
I'm like, "Oh, shit.

192
00:08:34.417 --> 00:08:35.959
Like that hurt, man.

193
00:08:36.041 --> 00:08:38.583
You're going out of order,
man.

194
00:08:40.041 --> 00:08:42.583
You're supposed to bow first,
man.

195
00:08:44.834 --> 00:08:46.083
And your shoes are still on,
man.

196
00:08:46.166 --> 00:08:48.542
-This is concrete.

197
00:08:48.625 --> 00:08:49.458
We need the blue mats
only, man."

198
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:52.875
Long Beach, I love it, man.

199
00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:55.166
I got held
at gunpoint three times

200
00:08:55.250 --> 00:08:57.041
before the age of 18.
Yeah.

201
00:08:57.125 --> 00:09:00.333
-I'm getting good, you know?

202
00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:04.959
I know it sounds weird,
but, man, I learned a lot

203
00:09:05.041 --> 00:09:06.875
getting held at gunpoint.

204
00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:09.250
Like, I found out
how religious I was.

205
00:09:09.333 --> 00:09:12.417
I found out how well
I can follow directions.

206
00:09:14.959 --> 00:09:16.750
Getting held at gunpoint
is like hot yoga,

207
00:09:16.834 --> 00:09:19.250
but you sweat a lot more,
you know?

208
00:09:19.333 --> 00:09:20.667
You think yoga poses are hard?

209
00:09:20.750 --> 00:09:21.834
Wait till
you have a gun to your head.

210
00:09:21.917 --> 00:09:22.750
"Don't move, motherfucker!"
You're like, "Oh, shit.

211
00:09:22.834 --> 00:09:24.667
All right.

212
00:09:27.041 --> 00:09:28.625
"Get on the ground!"
"That's downward dog.

213
00:09:28.709 --> 00:09:30.250
Just so you know."

214
00:09:30.333 --> 00:09:33.417
-Yeah, man.

215
00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:37.375
First time I got held
at gunpoint, um...I was a kid.

216
00:09:37.458 --> 00:09:39.375
I probably was nine or ten.
Who knows?

217
00:09:39.458 --> 00:09:40.667
And, uh, I was with my mom.

218
00:09:40.750 --> 00:09:41.542
We were going
to the grocery store.

219
00:09:41.625 --> 00:09:43.667
We're having
a great conversation.

220
00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:44.667
Uh, probably talking about
something

221
00:09:44.750 --> 00:09:46.959
she wanted to talk about.
Like, Transformers

222
00:09:47.041 --> 00:09:49.083
-or Ninja Turtles.

223
00:09:49.166 --> 00:09:51.583
So we're walking.
Having a good time.

224
00:09:51.667 --> 00:09:53.208
And as we're walking
this guy turns the corner,

225
00:09:53.291 --> 00:09:55.250
gun out, and, uh, he's like,
"Hey, give me the money.

226
00:09:55.333 --> 00:09:58.458
I'm not trying to hurt you guys.
Just give me the money."

227
00:09:58.542 --> 00:10:00.542
Now the problem is
my mother does not speak

228
00:10:00.625 --> 00:10:05.166
or understand English.
So I had to translate.

229
00:10:05.250 --> 00:10:07.792
I was an accomplice
to the fucking robbery.

230
00:10:10.333 --> 00:10:11.959
You guys ever held mom
at gunpoint?

231
00:10:12.041 --> 00:10:13.792
'Cause I did.

232
00:10:13.875 --> 00:10:15.792
To look your sweet mother
in the eyes and go...

233
00:10:25.667 --> 00:10:29.667
Dinero.

234
00:10:29.792 --> 00:10:32.542
And she forked over the money.
He grabbed it and he took off.

235
00:10:32.625 --> 00:10:34.208
And he was a man of his word.
I respect that.

236
00:10:34.291 --> 00:10:36.000
He didn't hurt us,
you know?

237
00:10:36.083 --> 00:10:38.417
But when I got home
my dad was pissed, you know?

238
00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:40.625
My mom was upset.
My dad was upset.

239
00:10:40.709 --> 00:10:41.709
And my dad looks at me and goes,

240
00:10:41.792 --> 00:10:45.208
"So, what'd you do, karate guy?
What'd you do?"

241
00:10:45.291 --> 00:10:48.542
"I just translated."

242
00:10:48.625 --> 00:10:50.375
Second time I got held
at gunpoint, uh,

243
00:10:50.458 --> 00:10:52.000
I was about in middle school.

244
00:10:52.083 --> 00:10:54.625
I had a big 'ole fake chain
that I saved up for.

245
00:10:54.709 --> 00:10:55.417
Uh, they call them
dookie ropes.

246
00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:57.166
Beautiful fake chains,
you know?

247
00:10:57.250 --> 00:10:59.750
And, uh,
it was my pride and joy.

248
00:10:59.834 --> 00:11:01.458
I worked all summer.
And I'm going to school.

249
00:11:01.542 --> 00:11:03.375
This is about 7:00 a.m.
I'm walking to school

250
00:11:03.458 --> 00:11:05.625
and this Camaro pulls up...

251
00:11:05.709 --> 00:11:07.125
guy jumps out.
Gun out.

252
00:11:07.208 --> 00:11:08.583
He's like, "Hey,
give me the chain, home boy."

253
00:11:08.667 --> 00:11:10.875
And in my head I was like,
"Man, this is early

254
00:11:10.959 --> 00:11:13.125
-for this shit.

255
00:11:13.208 --> 00:11:16.291
This is very early,
you know?"

256
00:11:16.375 --> 00:11:18.208
Well, you know what?
I really respect anyone

257
00:11:18.333 --> 00:11:20.542
who wakes up early
and goes to work, you know?

258
00:11:22.792 --> 00:11:24.542
Right?
I'm not here to judge.

259
00:11:24.625 --> 00:11:28.208
That's a family man
providing right there, you know?

260
00:11:28.291 --> 00:11:30.041
You got my respect, homie.

261
00:11:30.125 --> 00:11:31.542
He gets close,
he grabs my chains.

262
00:11:31.625 --> 00:11:32.458
Like, "Give me the chain,
motherfucker."

263
00:11:32.542 --> 00:11:34.500
I'm like, "Oh, it's fake."
He's like,

264
00:11:34.583 --> 00:11:36.000
"You think I give a fuck?"

265
00:11:36.083 --> 00:11:36.792
I'm like,
"I don't wanna waste your time."

266
00:11:39.417 --> 00:11:42.000
He took it, man, took the chain.
Pistol-whipped me.

267
00:11:42.083 --> 00:11:44.291
That sucked.
And, uh, he left.

268
00:11:44.375 --> 00:11:47.208
To this day I do not wear
any jewelry.

269
00:11:47.291 --> 00:11:48.166
No watches, rings, metal.

270
00:11:48.250 --> 00:11:50.667
Even my apartment keys
are plastic.

271
00:11:50.750 --> 00:11:53.417
-Fuck it, you know?

272
00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:55.417
I'm not getting
a real ass whooping

273
00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:57.834
over a fake chain anymore.

274
00:11:59.667 --> 00:12:00.709
I enjoy those.

275
00:12:00.792 --> 00:12:02.250
They sound bad,
but I really enjoy those.

276
00:12:02.333 --> 00:12:04.250
It builds character,
you know?

277
00:12:04.333 --> 00:12:06.417
The third one was my favorite,
man.

278
00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:08.291
-Yeah, it was good, man.

279
00:12:08.375 --> 00:12:11.083
It felt so good.
Uh, 18 years old.

280
00:12:11.166 --> 00:12:12.417
I was doing laundry.

281
00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:13.875
That laundromat
is still there, actually.

282
00:12:13.959 --> 00:12:15.083
7th and Magnolia.
Long Beach.

283
00:12:15.166 --> 00:12:17.917
And, uh,
I'm finished doing my laundry.

284
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.625
Uh, I have one extra quarter.
I'm like, "My lucky day."

285
00:12:22.792 --> 00:12:24.041
So I put it
into a Pac-Man machine

286
00:12:24.125 --> 00:12:26.625
and I'm killing it.
I'm playing.

287
00:12:26.709 --> 00:12:29.166
I'm doing well
and, uh, before I know it

288
00:12:29.250 --> 00:12:30.917
this guy comes up.
Puts a gun to my head.

289
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.583
He's like, "Hey, homie,
give me your money."

290
00:12:32.667 --> 00:12:35.458
And at first I thought
it was a friend.

291
00:12:42.041 --> 00:12:44.041
And at first I didn't think
it was a gun.

292
00:12:44.125 --> 00:12:45.834
I thought it was, like,
a cell phone or a stapler.

293
00:12:45.917 --> 00:12:48.125
Who know, you know?
I just felt it cold and, uh,

294
00:12:48.208 --> 00:12:50.458
I-I tried to make eye contact.

295
00:12:50.542 --> 00:12:52.583
I'm like, "Who is it?"
You know?

296
00:12:53.834 --> 00:12:55.625
That startled him and he's like,
"Look the fuck down."

297
00:12:55.709 --> 00:12:58.542
I'm like, "All right,
that's not a friend for sure."

298
00:12:58.625 --> 00:13:00.083
-You know?

299
00:13:00.166 --> 00:13:03.000
He would've said something
by now, you know?

300
00:13:03.083 --> 00:13:06.333
So, I have the gun to my head
and, uh, now I'm scared.

301
00:13:06.458 --> 00:13:08.166
But at the same time
I'm flattered

302
00:13:08.208 --> 00:13:10.250
because, shit, he thinks
I have money, you know?

303
00:13:10.333 --> 00:13:12.375
-That's pretty cool.

304
00:13:12.458 --> 00:13:15.083
Look, I don't think
there's bad people.

305
00:13:15.166 --> 00:13:16.166
I think there's bad choices.

306
00:13:16.250 --> 00:13:18.208
And I don't think
he was a bad guy.

307
00:13:18.291 --> 00:13:19.875
That fucker
saw potential in me.

308
00:13:22.875 --> 00:13:24.542
Right?
That's pretty good.

309
00:13:28.458 --> 00:13:29.083
Think about it.
A guy with a gun

310
00:13:29.166 --> 00:13:31.542
walks in, scans the room.

311
00:13:31.625 --> 00:13:32.375
Looks at me and is like,
"That's my man."

312
00:13:32.458 --> 00:13:35.041
It's like,
"Oh, thank you so much."

313
00:13:38.709 --> 00:13:40.875
I feel flattered, man.

314
00:13:40.959 --> 00:13:43.417
It's like,
"You picked me."

315
00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:46.458
So, gun to my head.
He starts patting me down.

316
00:13:46.542 --> 00:13:48.917
Nothing, man.
He moves over to my left side

317
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.667
'cause my wallet was in
my front left pocket, right?

318
00:13:51.792 --> 00:13:53.709
So, when he moves over
to my left side there was

319
00:13:53.792 --> 00:13:56.709
enough suction built
up in the barrel of the gun

320
00:13:56.792 --> 00:13:59.208
that when he moved, like,
I heard a...

321
00:13:59.291 --> 00:14:03.208
and it made him laugh.
Like,

322
00:14:03.291 --> 00:14:05.875
And I laughed, too,
'cause his laugh made me laugh.

323
00:14:05.959 --> 00:14:08.583
Like, "
Did you hear that?"

324
00:14:08.667 --> 00:14:10.375
-You know?

325
00:14:10.458 --> 00:14:12.625
Here's how stupid I was.
I thought we were

326
00:14:12.709 --> 00:14:15.208
-sharing a moment there.

327
00:14:15.291 --> 00:14:16.709
Like, you know
when somebody's mad at you

328
00:14:16.792 --> 00:14:17.667
you make 'em laugh?
You're like, "Oh,

329
00:14:17.750 --> 00:14:19.542
you're not mad at me no more."
You know?

330
00:14:19.625 --> 00:14:22.458
In my head I'm like,
"You're not robbing me."

331
00:14:22.542 --> 00:14:25.166
He's like, "Shut the fuck up!"
I'm like, "Oh, he's robbing me."

332
00:14:25.250 --> 00:14:27.792
So, he gets to my left side,
pats me down.

333
00:14:27.875 --> 00:14:29.959
Nothing.
He gets to my wallet...

334
00:14:30.041 --> 00:14:31.500
he takes my wallet out, man.

335
00:14:31.583 --> 00:14:34.375
And I see his face
just drop.

336
00:14:34.458 --> 00:14:36.166
Like, I don't know if
you've ever let somebody down

337
00:14:36.250 --> 00:14:39.834
while they're robbing you...

338
00:14:39.917 --> 00:14:42.792
but he was disappointed
when he realized that my wallet

339
00:14:42.875 --> 00:14:46.166
-had Velcro on it.

340
00:14:46.250 --> 00:14:49.250
Velcro on a wallet
is not a sign of wealth.

341
00:14:51.041 --> 00:14:54.750
-They put that there for coins.

342
00:14:54.834 --> 00:14:56.166
I had no bills in my wallet.

343
00:14:56.250 --> 00:14:57.500
I just had a lot
of Canadian pennies

344
00:14:57.583 --> 00:14:59.875
I found interesting
over the years, you know?

345
00:15:04.333 --> 00:15:05.917
'Cause when you're young
that's fun.

346
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.458
you find a Canadian penny
you're like, "Ohh, wow!

347
00:15:07.542 --> 00:15:09.250
Look at this.
That's different." You know?

348
00:15:09.333 --> 00:15:12.583
"Pot leaf?
No, maple. All right."

349
00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:17.792
And, uh, the guy's just
pissed off, man.

350
00:15:17.875 --> 00:15:18.667
He has a gun in one hand,

351
00:15:18.750 --> 00:15:21.291
my Spider-Man wallet
on the other...

352
00:15:22.625 --> 00:15:25.709
and he's pissed!
I'm wasting his time, you know?

353
00:15:25.792 --> 00:15:27.709
He goes,
"Really, motherfucker?"

354
00:15:27.792 --> 00:15:29.667
-I go, " Yeah."

355
00:15:29.750 --> 00:15:31.458
And I used to think cartoons
made that in predicaments.

356
00:15:31.542 --> 00:15:33.709
You know,
when they're in trouble they go,

357
00:15:33.792 --> 00:15:35.625
But if you're a human

358
00:15:35.709 --> 00:15:38.959
in a predicament,
You can make it, too.

359
00:15:39.041 --> 00:15:42.125
So, he shakes his head, man.
He's shaking his head

360
00:15:42.208 --> 00:15:44.834
and, uh, he--he starts
to open my wallet.

361
00:15:44.917 --> 00:15:47.166
Now, if you've ever owned
a Velcro wallet

362
00:15:47.250 --> 00:15:50.458
you know that you need these
four fingers free and clear

363
00:15:50.542 --> 00:15:52.333
to get in there and .

364
00:15:52.417 --> 00:15:55.458
-Get a clean open.

365
00:15:55.542 --> 00:15:56.667
He didn't put the gun away.

366
00:15:56.750 --> 00:15:57.166
I thought that was very
interesting.

367
00:15:57.250 --> 00:15:59.458
Ballsy, you know?

368
00:15:59.542 --> 00:16:01.166
So, he's holding on
to the wallet.

369
00:16:01.250 --> 00:16:02.291
He's going...

370
00:16:02.375 --> 00:16:04.125
Finally he opens it.

371
00:16:04.208 --> 00:16:06.917
Pennies everywhere.

372
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.417
It looked like
Sonic the Hedgehog

373
00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:11.542
-had run into something.

374
00:16:11.625 --> 00:16:14.041
And I dropped down
to my hands and knees

375
00:16:14.125 --> 00:16:15.583
and started picking 'em up

376
00:16:15.667 --> 00:16:17.000
before they fade away.

377
00:16:17.083 --> 00:16:18.041
I've played the game before,
you know?

378
00:16:21.166 --> 00:16:22.375
And as I'm doing that,
the guy decides to grab

379
00:16:22.458 --> 00:16:25.166
my wallet
and just throws it at me

380
00:16:25.250 --> 00:16:26.333
and it hits me.
I'm like, "Ow."

381
00:16:26.417 --> 00:16:28.875
He's all,
"Look at me motherfucker!"

382
00:16:28.959 --> 00:16:30.625
I'm like, "Uh-huh."
He's all, "Do better next time,

383
00:16:30.709 --> 00:16:34.083
-you broke motherfucker."

384
00:16:34.166 --> 00:16:37.375
And that hurt my feelings,
man.

385
00:16:37.458 --> 00:16:38.500
What I wanted to tell him
is like, "Hey, man,

386
00:16:38.583 --> 00:16:42.208
you're robbing people
at a laundromat.

387
00:16:44.792 --> 00:16:48.166
You're gonna get coins
every time, man."

388
00:16:48.250 --> 00:16:49.834
Maybe you should do better."

389
00:16:51.291 --> 00:16:53.709
Went to Vegas last year.

390
00:16:53.792 --> 00:16:54.875
-Yeah, Vegas is fun.

391
00:16:54.959 --> 00:16:59.208
I went to old Vegas
'cause it's cheaper, you know?

392
00:16:59.291 --> 00:17:00.417
So I went to old Vegas,
It was my friend's birthday.

393
00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:02.834
We were having a great time,
you know?

394
00:17:02.917 --> 00:17:04.083
And, uh, we walk into this bar.
It's packed.

395
00:17:04.166 --> 00:17:07.125
It's at capacity.

396
00:17:07.208 --> 00:17:08.709
And, um, we want to get
to the bar, but it's so packed

397
00:17:08.792 --> 00:17:10.542
that we gotta do one of these.
Like, "Oh, excuse me.

398
00:17:10.625 --> 00:17:12.458
Excuse me. Pardon me.
Excuse me."

399
00:17:12.542 --> 00:17:14.041
And we're doing that
trying to get to the bar,

400
00:17:14.125 --> 00:17:16.375
but as we're doing that,
my homie makes a mistake

401
00:17:16.458 --> 00:17:18.542
of stepping on a guy's shoes
on accident.

402
00:17:18.625 --> 00:17:20.875
The guy pushes him
and I freak out.

403
00:17:20.959 --> 00:17:22.583
I don't know what to do.

404
00:17:22.667 --> 00:17:23.417
So I just started
cleaning the bar window

405
00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:26.041
like I work there.
Just...

406
00:17:32.166 --> 00:17:33.542
What the hell
am I gonna do in a fight?

407
00:17:33.625 --> 00:17:34.959
Cheer him on?
Like, "We got this, bro.

408
00:17:35.041 --> 00:17:37.542
-Get him." You know?

409
00:17:37.625 --> 00:17:38.875
"You can do it, bro."

410
00:17:42.834 --> 00:17:45.583
So, fun fact about me.
I cry very easy, you know?

411
00:17:45.667 --> 00:17:48.709
I hate that about myself,
you know?

412
00:17:48.792 --> 00:17:51.667
It's like a super power
that sucks, you know?

413
00:17:51.750 --> 00:17:52.667
So I see my homie
arguing with the guy

414
00:17:52.750 --> 00:17:55.375
and already my breathing pattern
is changing.

415
00:17:55.458 --> 00:17:57.542
Just...

416
00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:02.583
Like, "Jacob, let's just
get outta here, man!"

417
00:18:02.667 --> 00:18:04.458
He turns around.
He's like, "Nah,

418
00:18:04.542 --> 00:18:05.750
-the hell with this guy!
-I'm like..."

419
00:18:05.834 --> 00:18:07.917
You don't even know him,
man!

420
00:18:08.875 --> 00:18:10.458
So, they're going at it.
I'm crying.

421
00:18:10.542 --> 00:18:12.750
And I'm crying more and more.

422
00:18:12.834 --> 00:18:14.792
Now they break into a fight.
They're fighting.

423
00:18:14.875 --> 00:18:17.542
I'm crying.
I'm wiping tears the long way.

424
00:18:17.625 --> 00:18:22.083
Like,
" Jacob!"

425
00:18:23.375 --> 00:18:24.542
I'll give it to Jacob.

426
00:18:24.625 --> 00:18:26.834
He knows how to fight
a little bit.

427
00:18:26.917 --> 00:18:28.625
You know,
he was like bobbin' and weavin'

428
00:18:28.667 --> 00:18:29.709
trying to do his thing,
but the guy he was fighting

429
00:18:29.834 --> 00:18:31.458
was like legit trained.

430
00:18:31.542 --> 00:18:33.208
'Cause my homie's
throwing punches,

431
00:18:33.291 --> 00:18:35.000
but the guy's like
getting out of the way.

432
00:18:35.083 --> 00:18:38.000
Out of every single punch.
Then he decides--

433
00:18:38.083 --> 00:18:41.333
my homie, decides to throw
a overhand right.

434
00:18:41.417 --> 00:18:43.792
And, uh, the guy dodges it,
gets underneath,

435
00:18:43.875 --> 00:18:46.291
and just hits him in the chin.
Boo!

436
00:18:46.375 --> 00:18:48.208
Just control, alt, deleted
his ass.

437
00:18:50.750 --> 00:18:52.208
It might've been an Alt F4,
who knows?

438
00:18:53.792 --> 00:18:55.917
And he just hits the ground.
I lose it.

439
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.750
-" Jacob!"

440
00:18:58.834 --> 00:19:01.458
The bouncer runs in.
He looks at me.

441
00:19:01.542 --> 00:19:03.166
He's like, "You're trouble, man!
Get outta here!"

442
00:19:03.250 --> 00:19:05.208
I'm like,
"I didn't do nothing, man!"

443
00:19:05.291 --> 00:19:06.667
He grabs my friend,
picks him up.

444
00:19:06.750 --> 00:19:08.458
He's like,
"You're outta here, bro!"

445
00:19:08.542 --> 00:19:10.750
And, uh, other bouncers come in.
They grab that guy

446
00:19:10.834 --> 00:19:13.500
and they start taking him out.
People start leaving the bar.

447
00:19:13.583 --> 00:19:15.166
They wanna see
what happens outside, you know?

448
00:19:15.250 --> 00:19:17.041
People have their phones out.
They're recording.

449
00:19:17.125 --> 00:19:18.333
It's scary.
Now, I can't get out

450
00:19:18.417 --> 00:19:20.667
'cause it bottlenecks, you know?
So, I'm in the back just crying.

451
00:19:20.750 --> 00:19:23.417
Just...

452
00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:25.750
People are more concerned
for me then my friend.

453
00:19:26.750 --> 00:19:28.709
He's the one
that got knocked out.

454
00:19:28.792 --> 00:19:33.083
"What happened?"
" He knocked him out.

455
00:19:33.166 --> 00:19:35.000
It's his birthday,
by the way."

456
00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:39.458
He's all, "Really?"
"Yeah, he has a birthday hat."

457
00:19:41.250 --> 00:19:45.208
So, by the time I get outside,
the birthday hat's all crooked.

458
00:19:45.291 --> 00:19:48.959
He's all wobbly.
Still trying to fight the guy.

459
00:19:49.041 --> 00:19:51.458
And the guy just decides
to finish him off, man.

460
00:19:51.542 --> 00:19:53.333
He--He hits him with the right.
Drops him.

461
00:19:53.417 --> 00:19:55.041
Gets on top.
Starts choking him out

462
00:19:55.125 --> 00:19:56.667
UFC style
and it's scary.

463
00:19:56.750 --> 00:19:58.709
But the whole time
this is happening,

464
00:19:58.792 --> 00:20:01.500
the guy choking my friend
had a dude on the sidewalk

465
00:20:01.583 --> 00:20:03.375
coaching him through the fight.

466
00:20:03.458 --> 00:20:05.875
So, all I hear is,
"Left hand! There you go!

467
00:20:05.959 --> 00:20:08.083
Choke him out!
Make him tap out!"

468
00:20:08.166 --> 00:20:11.208
So I started coaching my friend.
I'm like, "Say you're sorry.

469
00:20:14.333 --> 00:20:17.250
Apologize!

470
00:20:17.333 --> 00:20:20.250
Play dead!

471
00:20:20.333 --> 00:20:23.500
Curl your toes!"

472
00:20:25.458 --> 00:20:27.542
Oh, thank you, guys.

473
00:20:32.834 --> 00:20:35.166
He got beat up, man.

474
00:20:35.250 --> 00:20:37.041
I realized something that day.
It's like the best thing

475
00:20:37.125 --> 00:20:39.250
I can do for someone in a fight
is maybe record it.

476
00:20:39.333 --> 00:20:42.917
Like, "Jacob, this is where
you messed up right here.

477
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:44.417
Look, I paused
at a minute seven.

478
00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:46.250
He got you, bro.

479
00:20:46.333 --> 00:20:49.834
But look how clean
the windows are, you know?"

480
00:20:51.458 --> 00:20:52.959
I just wish I was tougher,
man.

481
00:20:53.041 --> 00:20:55.166
I'm just not that guy,
you know?

482
00:20:55.250 --> 00:20:57.500
It's like, uh,
about a year ago

483
00:20:57.583 --> 00:21:00.542
I do a show in L.A.
I do a show at The Comedy Store

484
00:21:00.625 --> 00:21:02.625
and I'm walking home.
It's about 1:00 a.m., right?

485
00:21:02.709 --> 00:21:05.041
I parked kinda far away.
So, I'm walking home.

486
00:21:05.166 --> 00:21:06.709
I'm just
minding my own business.

487
00:21:06.792 --> 00:21:08.667
Just being an only child going,
"Ha! That's funny."

488
00:21:08.792 --> 00:21:11.000
-You know?

489
00:21:11.083 --> 00:21:13.917
And I'm walking and I'm about
to cross a corner

490
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.166
and I see a guy on the corner

491
00:21:15.250 --> 00:21:16.583
I'm about to cross into,
right?

492
00:21:16.667 --> 00:21:19.083
And I see him.
Big pants, a tight wife beater,

493
00:21:19.166 --> 00:21:21.667
tattoos, muscles,
nice guy, you know?

494
00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:25.250
Approachable, you know?

495
00:21:25.333 --> 00:21:26.208
If I had to describe
what he looked like,

496
00:21:26.333 --> 00:21:27.625
I'd say he looked like
he was self-employed

497
00:21:27.667 --> 00:21:30.792
-for sure, you know?

498
00:21:30.875 --> 00:21:34.583
He was doing well for himself,
you know?

499
00:21:34.667 --> 00:21:36.041
So, I see him.
I keep my head down.

500
00:21:36.125 --> 00:21:38.250
I want no smoke, you know?

501
00:21:38.333 --> 00:21:40.000
So, I keep walking.
I'm walking.

502
00:21:40.083 --> 00:21:42.208
Soon as I get in front of him,
the first thing he tells me,

503
00:21:42.291 --> 00:21:44.750
he goes,
"Hey, homie, you a bitch."

504
00:21:44.834 --> 00:21:45.834
And I didn't know
if it was an old friend

505
00:21:45.917 --> 00:21:49.125
or a psychic,
but this guy knew me.

506
00:21:52.250 --> 00:21:54.667
I'm like,
"Man, that's pretty good, bro."

507
00:21:56.875 --> 00:21:57.834
And I was stunned, man.
I didn't know what to do.

508
00:21:57.917 --> 00:21:59.834
Like,
I wasn't gonna fight the guy.

509
00:21:59.917 --> 00:22:02.625
I wasn't gonna, like,
run 'cause...

510
00:22:02.709 --> 00:22:04.542
my knees were a little wobbly.

511
00:22:04.625 --> 00:22:07.250
So my first instinct
was to give him a high five.

512
00:22:07.333 --> 00:22:08.917
I'm like,
"Okay. Thank you."

513
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:21.083
No high five.

514
00:22:21.166 --> 00:22:24.667
So I try to walk away
'cause I learned that in karate.

515
00:22:24.750 --> 00:22:25.917
Believe it or not.

516
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.208
If somebody fucks with you,
just walk away.

517
00:22:28.291 --> 00:22:30.166
Find an adult.

518
00:22:31.959 --> 00:22:33.250
So I try to walk away

519
00:22:33.333 --> 00:22:36.750
and the guy--So, I get about,
like, 25, 50 paces out.

520
00:22:36.834 --> 00:22:39.667
The guy runs over,
cuts me off,

521
00:22:39.750 --> 00:22:41.667
he gets in my face.
We're touching noses.

522
00:22:41.750 --> 00:22:43.458
My nose is scrunched back.

523
00:22:43.542 --> 00:22:46.125
He's swelling up on me
like a angry toad.

524
00:22:46.208 --> 00:22:48.458
-And he's talking shit.

525
00:22:48.542 --> 00:22:50.458
He's like, "Hey, homie,
I say you a bitch."

526
00:22:50.542 --> 00:22:52.709
I was like, "
I heard you first time."

527
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.917
I was scared.
I've never stood up for myself.

528
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.375
I was like 32 years old
and I'm 33 now, but, you know?

529
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.000
I was--I was younger,
you know?

530
00:23:09.667 --> 00:23:12.000
I was young, man.

531
00:23:12.083 --> 00:23:14.041
And, uh, I've--I've never
stood up for myself,

532
00:23:14.125 --> 00:23:15.125
but I felt like I had to.
I ha--I had no choice

533
00:23:15.208 --> 00:23:18.250
at that point.
And this is where I messed up.

534
00:23:18.333 --> 00:23:19.125
I got a little aggressive.

535
00:23:19.208 --> 00:23:21.750
I got really aggressive.
I fucked up.

536
00:23:21.834 --> 00:23:24.083
I looked the guy in the face
and I go,

537
00:23:24.166 --> 00:23:25.875
"Hey, man,
what's your problem?"

538
00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:29.667
He was quick. He's all,
"My problem is you a bitch."

539
00:23:29.750 --> 00:23:31.750
I'm like,
"But that's my problem."

540
00:23:35.166 --> 00:23:39.125
It was the best comeback
I had at the time, you know?

541
00:23:39.208 --> 00:23:42.792
I was scared, man.
I've never had a redhead

542
00:23:42.875 --> 00:23:44.458
talk to me that way,
you know?

543
00:23:45.709 --> 00:23:50.125
I've never seen a red-headed
thug, but they're out there.

544
00:23:50.208 --> 00:23:52.166
I didn't get his gang name.
I'm sure it's something special.

545
00:23:52.250 --> 00:23:54.166
Like Pico de Gallo
or something.

546
00:23:54.250 --> 00:23:57.166
Sriracha. I don't know.

547
00:23:57.250 --> 00:23:59.500
And then he throws me off,
right?

548
00:23:59.625 --> 00:24:00.917
He throws me off.
He's all, "Hey, homie,

549
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.500
I'ma ask you again.
Are you a bitch?"

550
00:24:02.583 --> 00:24:06.667
And in my head I'm like,
"Why is it a question now?

551
00:24:06.750 --> 00:24:09.583
So now I can't even talk.
I have a knot in my throat,

552
00:24:09.667 --> 00:24:10.458
my knees are giving out on me,

553
00:24:10.542 --> 00:24:12.959
I'm crying for sure,

554
00:24:13.041 --> 00:24:14.625
but now there's a question
on the table

555
00:24:14.709 --> 00:24:16.959
I need to answer.

556
00:24:17.041 --> 00:24:21.250
So I just closed my eyes
and I say, "No."

557
00:24:21.333 --> 00:24:23.917
But he's so close to me
that when I said no,

558
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:28.375
-I gave him an Eskimo kiss.

559
00:24:28.458 --> 00:24:32.250
He didn't see it coming
and I didn't see it coming.

560
00:24:32.333 --> 00:24:34.166
I felt the exact moment
he felt it.

561
00:24:34.250 --> 00:24:36.709
He's like--Kinda did that.
I'm like...

562
00:24:36.792 --> 00:24:39.125
It made me open my eyes.
I'm like, "Whoa. What happened?"

563
00:24:39.208 --> 00:24:40.208
You know?

564
00:24:40.291 --> 00:24:43.834
And he got all embarrassed
and he just walked away.

565
00:24:47.583 --> 00:24:49.375
And I just saw him walk away.
I'm like, "Damn,

566
00:24:49.458 --> 00:24:52.500
-I just won my first fight."

567
00:24:52.583 --> 00:24:55.709
-Yeah!

568
00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:00.417
I won my first fight by default.

569
00:25:00.500 --> 00:25:03.125
Fucking got his ass,
you know what I mean?

570
00:25:04.333 --> 00:25:07.166
Yeah, man.
Life, man.

571
00:25:07.250 --> 00:25:09.667
Life, life.
You guys have parents?

572
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.625
Oh, cool.
Me, too, man.

573
00:25:13.709 --> 00:25:16.375
We have a lot in common,
you guys.

574
00:25:16.458 --> 00:25:18.875
Yeah, man, I have parents.
They're beautiful people.

575
00:25:18.959 --> 00:25:21.291
My mom,
very adorable, man.

576
00:25:21.375 --> 00:25:23.750
Best way I can describe my mom,
she's the type of lady

577
00:25:23.834 --> 00:25:26.875
who has a fake flower
in a vase with real water.

578
00:25:28.625 --> 00:25:32.000
Like, hoping for a miracle.
"It's gonna happen." You know?

579
00:25:32.083 --> 00:25:33.959
She'll change the water
on the vase.

580
00:25:34.041 --> 00:25:35.709
I'm like, "Mom, you don't
find it weird that the water

581
00:25:35.792 --> 00:25:37.667
doesn't go down?"

582
00:25:37.750 --> 00:25:41.041
She's like, "It's a miracle."
I'm like, "Ah, you got me."

583
00:25:41.125 --> 00:25:43.250
My mom is the best, man.
She's so cool.

584
00:25:43.333 --> 00:25:45.667
Like, my mom claims
to have a psychic ability.

585
00:25:45.750 --> 00:25:48.542
It's just very delayed.

586
00:25:48.625 --> 00:25:49.875
Like, she knows exactly
what's gonna happen,

587
00:25:49.959 --> 00:25:53.417
-but after the fact.

588
00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:54.500
Somebody stole a camera
out of my car

589
00:25:54.583 --> 00:25:56.792
and I told my mom.
I said, "Mom, somebody stole

590
00:25:56.875 --> 00:25:58.250
a camera out of my car."
She's like, "You know what?

591
00:25:58.333 --> 00:26:00.583
-I had a dream last night.

592
00:26:00.667 --> 00:26:01.917
I knew it."

593
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.417
I'm like,
"Why didn't you tell me?"

594
00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.417
"Because if I tell you,
you don't believe me.

595
00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:08.291
That's how you are."
I'm like, "All right...

596
00:26:08.375 --> 00:26:10.750
just let me
get robbed out here."

597
00:26:10.834 --> 00:26:12.250
She's like,
"What it the black camera?"

598
00:26:12.333 --> 00:26:15.375
I'm like, "Yeah."
"Yup, that's the one.

599
00:26:15.458 --> 00:26:18.083
For pictures?"
I'm like, "Yes, that's the one."

600
00:26:18.166 --> 00:26:21.166
"Yeah, I-I knew it.
That's the one.

601
00:26:21.250 --> 00:26:23.625
They took it?"
I'm like, "Yes, I know that."

602
00:26:26.834 --> 00:26:28.834
So sweet, you know?

603
00:26:28.875 --> 00:26:31.333
My dad--I love my dad,
just a lot of tough love,

604
00:26:31.417 --> 00:26:32.458
you know?
And I don't mind it.

605
00:26:32.542 --> 00:26:34.291
I love how he raised me,
but just a lot of tough love.

606
00:26:34.375 --> 00:26:38.458
Like I remember once my dad
telling me that I'm lazy

607
00:26:38.542 --> 00:26:40.458
and if I was a Transformer
I'd be a futon.

608
00:26:44.750 --> 00:26:47.208
It's like who writes that
on a birthday card, you know?

609
00:26:49.041 --> 00:26:52.375
Seems a little mean.

610
00:26:52.458 --> 00:26:53.500
Yeah, my dad's my hero, man.

611
00:26:53.583 --> 00:26:56.291
Oh, I read that book
The Five Love Languages .

612
00:26:56.375 --> 00:26:57.834
I thought it was a great book,
you know?

613
00:26:57.917 --> 00:26:59.458
And I asked my dad.
I said, "Dad,

614
00:26:59.542 --> 00:27:00.458
what's your love language?"
He's like, "Silence."

615
00:27:00.542 --> 00:27:03.125
-I'm like, "All right, cool."

616
00:27:03.208 --> 00:27:04.792
I'm like,
"What do you mean?"

617
00:27:04.875 --> 00:27:07.083
He's all,
"Shh, shh, shh, shh."

618
00:27:07.166 --> 00:27:09.458
"Got it."

619
00:27:09.542 --> 00:27:10.500
Yeah, man.

620
00:27:10.583 --> 00:27:13.083
I have a phobia of dogs.
I can't be around dogs.

621
00:27:13.166 --> 00:27:15.125
I got attacked
when I was nine years old.

622
00:27:15.208 --> 00:27:18.250
I was working with my dad
and, uh, I was mowing lawns.

623
00:27:18.333 --> 00:27:21.000
And a dog came
and got my left kneecap,

624
00:27:21.083 --> 00:27:24.333
took off with it.
I'm like, "Hey, I need that."

625
00:27:24.417 --> 00:27:25.750
My dad saw
the whole thing go down.

626
00:27:25.834 --> 00:27:27.417
I'm like, "Dad!
What do I do?"

627
00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:29.500
He's like,
"Get back to work."

628
00:27:29.583 --> 00:27:31.834
And that's what I did.
Two weeks go by, right?

629
00:27:31.917 --> 00:27:33.250
And I'm in bed.
I'm recovering, you know?

630
00:27:33.333 --> 00:27:36.625
And my father woke me up
for school by grabbing

631
00:27:36.709 --> 00:27:39.625
my left knee and going,

632
00:27:42.041 --> 00:27:44.333
That'll get you
out of bed like that!

633
00:27:46.083 --> 00:27:48.041
I'm like, "Dad,
that why I pee the bed,

634
00:27:48.125 --> 00:27:50.959
you know that, right?"

635
00:27:51.041 --> 00:27:53.250
Like, I never woke up my father
with his fears.

636
00:27:53.333 --> 00:27:55.500
Like, "Bill collectors!"
You know?

637
00:27:58.125 --> 00:28:00.333
I don't know why
he would do that to me.

638
00:28:02.667 --> 00:28:05.291
He's a great guy, man.
Love him.

639
00:28:05.375 --> 00:28:08.333
Like--Like my dad
used to embarrass me

640
00:28:08.417 --> 00:28:10.417
'cause he had this huge
trophy case at the house

641
00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:13.333
full of trophies.
The thing is, he didn't earn

642
00:28:13.417 --> 00:28:15.417
-not one of 'em.

643
00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:17.583
He just found 'em all.

644
00:28:17.667 --> 00:28:21.041
My friends would come over
and they would be impressed.

645
00:28:21.125 --> 00:28:22.625
Like, "Damn,
look at all these trophies."

646
00:28:22.709 --> 00:28:24.667
I'm like, "Yeah,
read the names, man.

647
00:28:26.291 --> 00:28:29.000
None of 'em match."

648
00:28:29.083 --> 00:28:31.792
But he was proud of one trophy.
Whenever they would come over

649
00:28:31.875 --> 00:28:32.792
he would start
taking trophies out.

650
00:28:32.875 --> 00:28:35.333
Guys, this is my favorite one
right here."

651
00:28:35.417 --> 00:28:38.709
I'm like, "Dad, no one's gonna
believe that you play lacrosse."

652
00:28:38.792 --> 00:28:40.417
-He's like, "Yes, I did.

653
00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:42.083
They gave this to me
when I "lacrosse" the border.

654
00:28:42.166 --> 00:28:43.750
They said, 'Here you go.'"

655
00:28:46.375 --> 00:28:50.166
I don't think that's what
it means, but all right.

656
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.917
I love him, man.
My mom, a couple years ago,

657
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:57.583
got cancer.
Got a brain tumor.

658
00:28:57.667 --> 00:29:00.250
And, uh, things got a little--
a little weird, man.

659
00:29:00.333 --> 00:29:01.375
It's like when you--
Uh, the person you love,

660
00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:05.542
your mother, is, uh,
you know, facing life and death,

661
00:29:05.583 --> 00:29:08.041
it's tough, you know?
And that was a really...

662
00:29:08.125 --> 00:29:09.250
hard time for me
and, uh, during that time

663
00:29:09.333 --> 00:29:13.125
I got Power of Attorney.
You know, over my mother

664
00:29:13.208 --> 00:29:13.917
'cause we didn't know
what was gonna happen.

665
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.125
And, uh, they told my mom.

666
00:29:16.208 --> 00:29:17.667
Like, "Your son
has Power of Attorney,"

667
00:29:17.750 --> 00:29:18.625
But I don't know what she heard,
but she thinks

668
00:29:18.709 --> 00:29:22.792
-I'm a powerful attorney...

669
00:29:22.875 --> 00:29:25.083
and I don't wanna tell her
that I have Power of Attorney.

670
00:29:25.166 --> 00:29:26.834
I don't wanna let her down,
you know?

671
00:29:26.917 --> 00:29:30.208
She's so proud.
I'm like, "Damn it, I'm stuck."

672
00:29:30.291 --> 00:29:32.458
She's bragging about it
to her friends.

673
00:29:32.542 --> 00:29:35.125
"Oh, he's very powerful,
this guy.

674
00:29:36.542 --> 00:29:38.792
If you need something legal,
talk to him.

675
00:29:38.875 --> 00:29:42.000
-Powerful!"

676
00:29:42.083 --> 00:29:43.500
And when you get Power
of Attorney over a loved one,

677
00:29:43.583 --> 00:29:46.000
they do this thing
where they do an appraisal

678
00:29:46.083 --> 00:29:49.000
of your family's estate.
And they did that with us.

679
00:29:49.083 --> 00:29:51.000
You know, and it turns out
that my family's estate

680
00:29:51.083 --> 00:29:54.208
is valued at sentimental.
Um, so...

681
00:29:54.291 --> 00:29:56.667
So I'm just
gonna inherit grudges

682
00:29:56.750 --> 00:29:59.166
and undeveloped film roll
apparently.

683
00:29:59.250 --> 00:30:01.500
-Yeah.

684
00:30:01.583 --> 00:30:04.792
Years later, man.
Years later my father also got,

685
00:30:04.875 --> 00:30:06.750
uh, cancer as well, man.

686
00:30:06.834 --> 00:30:08.208
And, uh, I was there.
I was actually there

687
00:30:08.291 --> 00:30:10.625
when my dad got diagnosed,
you know?

688
00:30:10.709 --> 00:30:13.333
I was there and I'm sitting
beside my father,

689
00:30:13.417 --> 00:30:14.667
the doctor's there
and, uh, again,

690
00:30:14.750 --> 00:30:17.291
my father does not know how
to speak or understand English

691
00:30:17.375 --> 00:30:19.542
so I'm there to translate,
you know?

692
00:30:19.625 --> 00:30:22.917
And, uh, the doctor goes,
"Hey, can you tell your father

693
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.500
that this is the diagnosis
and this is a picture."

694
00:30:25.583 --> 00:30:27.291
So I translate.
I say, "Hey, Dad, this is

695
00:30:27.375 --> 00:30:30.125
what's going on and, uh,
he said you have cancer."

696
00:30:30.208 --> 00:30:31.208
My dad's like,
"That's not mine."

697
00:30:31.291 --> 00:30:35.542
The doctor was like,
"What happened?"

698
00:30:35.625 --> 00:30:37.500
"Oh, he said it's not his."

699
00:30:37.583 --> 00:30:40.959
He said, "No, I can assure you
that it--it's his

700
00:30:41.041 --> 00:30:43.333
and this is the paperwork."
And I explained

701
00:30:43.417 --> 00:30:45.208
that to him and he goes,
"No, no, no, no.

702
00:30:45.291 --> 00:30:48.250
Tell him that this is the same
picture they give everybody.

703
00:30:49.625 --> 00:30:51.208
And they just
wanna get money outta me.

704
00:30:51.291 --> 00:30:53.333
Come on, let's go."

705
00:30:53.417 --> 00:30:55.375
And my dad beat cancer.
He's cancer free.

706
00:30:55.458 --> 00:30:57.417
He beat cancer
on denial alone.

707
00:30:57.500 --> 00:31:00.667
-So, yeah!

708
00:31:01.250 --> 00:31:04.625
How amazing is that?

709
00:31:04.709 --> 00:31:07.083
I wish I could be
as stubborn as my dad one day.

710
00:31:07.166 --> 00:31:09.166
He's like, "Fuck it."
They say the mind is powerful.

711
00:31:09.250 --> 00:31:11.291
It is.
"How'd you beat cancer?"

712
00:31:11.375 --> 00:31:14.083
-"I didn't have it."

713
00:31:14.166 --> 00:31:17.250
Like, "Wow. Hell yeah."

714
00:31:20.083 --> 00:31:21.375
But that was a tough time
for me, man,

715
00:31:21.458 --> 00:31:23.250
'cause I took over
the family business.

716
00:31:23.333 --> 00:31:26.250
My dad was out of, you know,
he couldn't work, you know?

717
00:31:26.333 --> 00:31:27.917
So I took over
the family business

718
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.125
and I was happy to do so.
I stopped doing comedy

719
00:31:30.208 --> 00:31:32.667
for some time, too,
and I'm out there mowing lawns.

720
00:31:32.750 --> 00:31:34.834
I remember the day--
the day I had to go out

721
00:31:34.917 --> 00:31:36.375
there on my own.
So, I'm mowing lawns

722
00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:38.125
and this owner of the house
comes out.

723
00:31:38.208 --> 00:31:40.542
Good friends with my father
for years, you know?

724
00:31:40.625 --> 00:31:42.333
And he comes out.
He's like, "Hey, man,

725
00:31:42.458 --> 00:31:43.709
can I talk to you?"
I said, "Yeah, what's up?"

726
00:31:43.792 --> 00:31:44.792
So I go over there.
We're talking.

727
00:31:44.875 --> 00:31:47.041
He's like, "Hey, man,
I heard about your father.

728
00:31:47.125 --> 00:31:48.583
I'm really sorry."
I said, "Thank you, man."

729
00:31:48.625 --> 00:31:50.375
He's like,
"Man, I hope he gets better."

730
00:31:50.458 --> 00:31:51.250
I'm like, "Thanks, man."
But the whole time he's talking

731
00:31:51.333 --> 00:31:53.250
to me he's not
making eye contact.

732
00:31:53.333 --> 00:31:56.500
He's looking at his yard work.

733
00:31:56.583 --> 00:31:58.041
He's like, "Oh..."

734
00:31:58.125 --> 00:32:00.542
He's all, "I hope your father
gets better.

735
00:32:02.333 --> 00:32:05.125
And, um,
yeah, he's a good guy.

736
00:32:05.208 --> 00:32:06.917
And, um..."

737
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.458
Now I'm like, "Oh, boy,
I'm getting fired today."

738
00:32:09.542 --> 00:32:11.917
He's like,
"Can I tell you something?"

739
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:12.750
I said, "Yes, what's up?"

740
00:32:12.834 --> 00:32:14.417
He said,
"You can't tell your dad."

741
00:32:14.500 --> 00:32:15.750
I said, "I won't."

742
00:32:15.834 --> 00:32:16.750
He's like,
"Man, you're way better

743
00:32:16.834 --> 00:32:18.417
at this than your father."
I'm like, "What?"

744
00:32:18.500 --> 00:32:21.083
It's like that's when
I felt like I lived

745
00:32:21.166 --> 00:32:23.291
the American Dream
backwards.

746
00:32:23.375 --> 00:32:25.750
I went to college,
got educated,

747
00:32:25.834 --> 00:32:27.083
followed my dreams
of being a comic,

748
00:32:27.166 --> 00:32:28.959
then mow lawns.

749
00:32:29.041 --> 00:32:30.000
It's like, "Shit,
I don't wanna find out

750
00:32:30.083 --> 00:32:34.417
that this is my calling."
You know what I mean?

751
00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:36.041
This is what I should've
been doing the whole time.

752
00:32:36.125 --> 00:32:37.417
Damn it!

753
00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:40.250
But I worry about my parents
'cause, like,

754
00:32:40.333 --> 00:32:42.291
I'm a caregiver at this point.
I'm a caregiver to my parents.

755
00:32:42.375 --> 00:32:43.834
It feels like I'm raising 'em.

756
00:32:43.917 --> 00:32:45.667
Everything they told me
not to do as a kid,

757
00:32:45.750 --> 00:32:48.834
as they're getting older,
they're doing it.

758
00:32:48.917 --> 00:32:50.333
Staring? They love it.
They just stare for no reason.

759
00:32:50.417 --> 00:32:53.166
I remember once
eating with my mom.

760
00:32:53.250 --> 00:32:54.667
We were sitting there
and my mom out of nowhere

761
00:32:54.750 --> 00:32:56.208
stands up and goes,
"That's a ugly shirt

762
00:32:56.291 --> 00:32:58.875
that guy has."
I'm like, "Awesome. For sure.

763
00:32:58.959 --> 00:33:01.834
-He heard you."

764
00:33:01.917 --> 00:33:03.709
I look over there.
The guy's giving me

765
00:33:03.792 --> 00:33:05.667
the "what the hell" hands.

766
00:33:05.750 --> 00:33:07.333
He's says,
"What the hell, man?"

767
00:33:07.417 --> 00:33:08.750
I'm like, "I'm sorry, sir.
She's little.

768
00:33:08.834 --> 00:33:11.083
-She don't know.

769
00:33:11.166 --> 00:33:14.291
Trying to raise her right,
you know?"

770
00:33:14.375 --> 00:33:16.667
It's so crazy.
Like, my parents I-I--

771
00:33:16.750 --> 00:33:19.125
I want them to be around,
but if they keep eating

772
00:33:19.208 --> 00:33:20.458
the way they do,
they're not.

773
00:33:20.542 --> 00:33:22.000
You know, they're like kids.
They want to eat

774
00:33:22.083 --> 00:33:22.834
everything
they're not supposed to.

775
00:33:22.917 --> 00:33:25.542
Greasy foods, sweets,
all of it.

776
00:33:25.625 --> 00:33:27.709
The doctor told both of my
parents that they cannot

777
00:33:27.792 --> 00:33:30.959
eat red meat and greasy foods,
you know?

778
00:33:31.041 --> 00:33:32.792
And my dad loves it.
Chicharrónes?

779
00:33:32.875 --> 00:33:34.417
His favorite food ever.

780
00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:36.000
If you guys don't know
what chicharrónes are,

781
00:33:36.083 --> 00:33:39.208
they're, uh, pork fat
fried in pork...fat.

782
00:33:41.125 --> 00:33:43.750
And if you've never had 'em,
yes, they're delicious.

783
00:33:43.834 --> 00:33:46.291
It's so good, man,
but it's like my dad goes

784
00:33:46.375 --> 00:33:48.542
on these walks, you know?
He goes on these walks

785
00:33:48.625 --> 00:33:51.041
and he'll be out walking
and, uh, he comes back home,

786
00:33:51.125 --> 00:33:54.250
-his lips all shiny.

787
00:33:56.417 --> 00:33:57.458
I'm like, "What happened?"

788
00:33:57.542 --> 00:33:59.625
"What?
I went for a walk."

789
00:33:59.709 --> 00:34:01.333
I'm like, "Your lips
are all shiny."

790
00:34:01.417 --> 00:34:03.375
He's all, "Oh, shit."
"Chicharrónes?"

791
00:34:03.458 --> 00:34:06.125
He's like,
"Yeah, you know."

792
00:34:06.208 --> 00:34:07.750
Loves chicharrónes.
I remember one time

793
00:34:07.792 --> 00:34:09.750
I came home,
I was out on a road trip,

794
00:34:09.792 --> 00:34:11.709
I was out doing shows
and I come back home

795
00:34:11.792 --> 00:34:14.875
and as soon as I walk
into--into the apartment,

796
00:34:14.959 --> 00:34:17.500
I look towards the kitchen
and there's a red bag

797
00:34:17.583 --> 00:34:19.542
on top of the refrigerator.
And it was a paper bag

798
00:34:19.625 --> 00:34:21.417
and it looked wet
from, like, oil.

799
00:34:21.500 --> 00:34:24.417
I'm like, "Dang it, man."
That's what's so crazy about,

800
00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:25.709
like,
my dad eating chicharrónes.

801
00:34:25.792 --> 00:34:27.583
Like,
one time my dad got so mad

802
00:34:27.667 --> 00:34:29.667
that I poured hot grease
down the drain.

803
00:34:29.750 --> 00:34:30.583
He said it was gonna clog up.

804
00:34:30.667 --> 00:34:33.667
I'm like,
"You have no problem eating it."

805
00:34:35.667 --> 00:34:36.834
He's like, "It's expensive
to unclog a drain!"

806
00:34:36.917 --> 00:34:39.959
"It's a lot more expensive
to unclog a artery.

807
00:34:40.041 --> 00:34:41.709
I'll tell you that,
you know?"

808
00:34:41.792 --> 00:34:45.750
But I saw the paper bag there
and I was so let down, man.

809
00:34:45.834 --> 00:34:48.083
One, my parents are not
supposed to eat that.

810
00:34:48.166 --> 00:34:50.792
Two,
my parents are five foot.

811
00:34:52.291 --> 00:34:55.458
I'm 6'3".
I'm gonna see it.

812
00:34:57.709 --> 00:34:59.250
That hurt.
That means my parents

813
00:34:59.333 --> 00:35:02.083
worked together...

814
00:35:03.667 --> 00:35:07.625
to hide chicharrónes
in plain sight.

815
00:35:07.709 --> 00:35:10.458
"Okay, you get the chair."
"All right, let's do it."

816
00:35:12.291 --> 00:35:14.458
My mom helped
my dad get on top,

817
00:35:14.542 --> 00:35:17.291
kept his balance, and hid it
from me in plain sight.

818
00:35:17.375 --> 00:35:18.792
That hurt, man.

819
00:35:18.875 --> 00:35:20.458
'Cause if you're gonna hide
something from me,

820
00:35:20.542 --> 00:35:23.083
put it underneath
the refrigerator.

821
00:35:24.792 --> 00:35:27.583
So, I grabbed the bag
and they were in the bedroom

822
00:35:27.667 --> 00:35:29.000
and I go in there.
I kick the door open.

823
00:35:29.083 --> 00:35:32.000
And both of my parents are like,

824
00:35:32.083 --> 00:35:33.750
"Oh."
Like, "What happened?"

825
00:35:33.834 --> 00:35:36.166
My dad looks down,
sees the bag of chicharrón

826
00:35:36.250 --> 00:35:38.333
in my hand.
He's like, ""

827
00:35:41.709 --> 00:35:42.750
I'm like, "Guys, do you guys
know what this is?"

828
00:35:42.834 --> 00:35:46.375
And they're both up against
the wall scared.

829
00:35:46.458 --> 00:35:48.834
Like, it looked like I caught
two seventh graders

830
00:35:48.917 --> 00:35:51.542
sharing a pack of cigarettes,
you know?

831
00:35:51.625 --> 00:35:52.917
They're scared.
I'm like, "Dad, do you know

832
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:54.458
what this is?"
He's like, "No.

833
00:35:54.542 --> 00:35:58.500
-It's not mine."

834
00:35:58.583 --> 00:35:59.875
I'm like, "Are you sure, Dad?"
He's like, "Yeah.

835
00:35:59.959 --> 00:36:01.250
I'm holding them for a friend."
You know?

836
00:36:03.583 --> 00:36:06.250
It's like, "You're lying
to me, Dad."

837
00:36:06.333 --> 00:36:08.875
And my mom has this
super power, man.

838
00:36:08.959 --> 00:36:10.834
-It's called Catholic guilt.

839
00:36:10.917 --> 00:36:14.542
She'll lie for my father
right in front of me.

840
00:36:14.625 --> 00:36:17.500
She slid out with an excuse
like the Temptations.

841
00:36:17.583 --> 00:36:20.625
-Just,

842
00:36:20.709 --> 00:36:22.542
"Listen, he told you
they're not his,

843
00:36:22.625 --> 00:36:25.583
but if you wanna act that way,
be that way."

844
00:36:27.750 --> 00:36:30.583
I'm like, "Whoa."

845
00:36:30.667 --> 00:36:32.625
Like, how do I feel
like the bad person now,

846
00:36:32.709 --> 00:36:35.500
you know?

847
00:36:35.583 --> 00:36:37.083
I don't know what to do.
I think I gotta start

848
00:36:37.208 --> 00:36:39.375
searching my apartment
for snack contraband

849
00:36:39.458 --> 00:36:42.250
like it's a prison cell.

850
00:36:42.333 --> 00:36:45.000
Bring the neighbor's kid,
Arturo, little chubby kid.

851
00:36:45.083 --> 00:36:47.125
He can smell snacks
from a mile away.

852
00:36:47.959 --> 00:36:49.709
Like, "Mom, Dad,
this is Arturo."

853
00:36:49.792 --> 00:36:51.208
"Wait, hold on, bro.

854
00:36:51.291 --> 00:36:54.083
-Hold on. Hold on.

855
00:36:54.166 --> 00:36:57.750
He can smell snacks
from a mile away.

856
00:36:57.834 --> 00:37:00.041
If there's anything in here
you want me to know about,

857
00:37:00.125 --> 00:37:02.792
tell me now
'cause if he finds it--

858
00:37:02.875 --> 00:37:04.792
Hold on, bro! Hold on!

859
00:37:04.875 --> 00:37:07.458
I will call
your primary care physician.

860
00:37:07.542 --> 00:37:11.917
-Okay?"

861
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:13.709
I don't know
how to get through to them.

862
00:37:13.792 --> 00:37:16.083
I want them to be around,
but I don't want them

863
00:37:16.166 --> 00:37:17.375
to keep eating unhealthy.

864
00:37:17.458 --> 00:37:19.333
I saw this show called
Scared Straight.

865
00:37:19.417 --> 00:37:20.083
I don't know
if you guys seen it.

866
00:37:20.166 --> 00:37:21.750
It's been around
for a long time.

867
00:37:21.834 --> 00:37:24.542
Um, Scared Straight.
The premise of the show

868
00:37:24.625 --> 00:37:25.917
is kids
who are messing up in life,

869
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.083
they take 'em to a prison,
they scare 'em

870
00:37:28.166 --> 00:37:29.875
in hopes of them
turning their life around.

871
00:37:29.959 --> 00:37:31.625
And most of the time
it works.

872
00:37:31.709 --> 00:37:35.083
I wanna do a TV show like that
for elderly people

873
00:37:35.166 --> 00:37:37.875
where you take 'em to a ER...

874
00:37:39.375 --> 00:37:41.417
and scare 'em a little bit.

875
00:37:41.500 --> 00:37:43.208
I would love to do that,
you know?

876
00:37:43.291 --> 00:37:45.542
Take my parents.
Like, "This is not McDonald's."

877
00:37:45.625 --> 00:37:47.291
-I'm like, "I know it's not.

878
00:37:47.375 --> 00:37:49.959
This is a ER."

879
00:37:50.041 --> 00:37:51.709
Just to see the look
on my father's face.

880
00:37:51.792 --> 00:37:53.333
Like, "Why is that guy
missing his ears?"

881
00:37:53.417 --> 00:37:55.083
"'Cause he wouldn't
eat vegetables, Dad.

882
00:37:55.166 --> 00:37:56.375
That's why."

883
00:37:56.458 --> 00:37:57.667
"Why is that guy
missing his legs?"

884
00:37:57.750 --> 00:37:59.375
"'Cause he only
ate chicharrónes.

885
00:37:59.458 --> 00:38:01.917
Your choice, Dad."

886
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:04.458
My dad sometimes
likes to compare me

887
00:38:04.542 --> 00:38:05.959
to other people which is...
fine.

888
00:38:06.041 --> 00:38:09.792
He uses it as a mechanism
for tough love, you know?

889
00:38:09.875 --> 00:38:12.000
He wants--
He wants to inspire me.

890
00:38:12.083 --> 00:38:14.667
Do better, you know?
Push me to do great things.

891
00:38:14.750 --> 00:38:17.250
Like, to this day he compares
me to this friend of mine.

892
00:38:17.333 --> 00:38:19.333
His name Jesse
and I grew up with him.

893
00:38:19.417 --> 00:38:22.917
His father was a mechanic
and, uh, my dad a gardener

894
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:24.792
and we grew up working
with our fathers

895
00:38:24.875 --> 00:38:26.000
and that's how we bonded.
We became good friends.

896
00:38:26.083 --> 00:38:30.000
The thing about Jesse
is that he's now a gynecologist.

897
00:38:30.083 --> 00:38:32.667
You know, and he put himself
through medical school

898
00:38:32.750 --> 00:38:34.291
working as a mechanic.

899
00:38:34.375 --> 00:38:36.875
And I still think
he has mechanic tendencies.

900
00:38:36.959 --> 00:38:40.750
-You just can't get rid of that.

901
00:38:40.834 --> 00:38:42.667
And my dad's like, "How come
you can't be like him?"

902
00:38:42.750 --> 00:38:44.458
It's like, "We don't know
if he's a good gynecologist

903
00:38:44.542 --> 00:38:45.500
or not.

904
00:38:45.583 --> 00:38:48.250
I gotta go to his office
to see how it goes down."

905
00:38:48.333 --> 00:38:49.000
Like, "Hi, Mrs. Smith.
How are you?

906
00:38:49.083 --> 00:38:50.000
What brings you in?
Check up?

907
00:38:50.083 --> 00:38:52.333
Okay, let's take a look
under the hood.

908
00:38:52.417 --> 00:38:55.834
-Have a seat here.

909
00:38:55.917 --> 00:38:57.542
Excuse me,
can you lift your legs up?

910
00:38:57.625 --> 00:38:59.625
All right, here we go.

911
00:39:03.625 --> 00:39:05.542
All right, let's take a look
under the hood.

912
00:39:05.625 --> 00:39:08.333
See, . All right,
let's take a look here.

913
00:39:09.208 --> 00:39:13.208
What year is this?
'86? No way.

914
00:39:13.333 --> 00:39:14.583
They don't make 'em
like this anymore.

915
00:39:14.667 --> 00:39:16.667
I'll tell you that.

916
00:39:16.750 --> 00:39:19.291
You American?
Nice, with Mexican parts.

917
00:39:19.375 --> 00:39:21.625
-I like it, man.

918
00:39:21.709 --> 00:39:23.917
Got some water damage in here.
We can fix it.

919
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.500
When was the last time
you changed the filter, huh?

920
00:39:28.583 --> 00:39:29.959
Thanks for coming in.
They'll take care of you

921
00:39:30.041 --> 00:39:32.125
right over here.
Thanks for coming."

922
00:39:34.667 --> 00:39:36.917
I will say this,
if I can tell you one thing

923
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:39.458
to take away tonight
it's to don't do anything

924
00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:41.458
to impress other people.
Do it to impress yourself.

925
00:39:41.583 --> 00:39:43.125
I learned that the hard way,
man.

926
00:39:43.208 --> 00:39:46.083
I ran the L.A. Marathon
trying to impress my dad.

927
00:39:46.166 --> 00:39:47.458
-Uh...

928
00:39:47.542 --> 00:39:49.417
That's a long way to go
for respect, man.

929
00:39:52.083 --> 00:39:53.625
Holy moly.

930
00:39:53.709 --> 00:39:55.917
But I wanted to impress my dad.
I-I've never done

931
00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:57.875
anything like that
and it's like, look,

932
00:39:57.959 --> 00:40:01.083
there's some things I can't
explain to immigrant parents.

933
00:40:01.166 --> 00:40:03.250
My dad is from Mexico
and there's certain things

934
00:40:03.333 --> 00:40:04.333
I can't explain to him.
Like, one time I bought

935
00:40:04.417 --> 00:40:06.750
a pair of ripped jeans.
I thought I looked great.

936
00:40:06.834 --> 00:40:08.917
I put 'em on,
about to leave.

937
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:10.041
I'm like, "All right."

938
00:40:10.125 --> 00:40:11.667
And my dad
stopped me at the door.

939
00:40:11.750 --> 00:40:12.917
"Hey, Jesus! Jesus!
Don't go nowhere, man.

940
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:14.583
Your pants are ripped."

941
00:40:14.667 --> 00:40:16.208
-He scared me.

942
00:40:16.291 --> 00:40:18.750
I'm like, "What?
No, I-I bought 'em this way."

943
00:40:18.834 --> 00:40:20.375
He's like, "That's okay.
Keep the receipt.

944
00:40:20.458 --> 00:40:22.417
That happened to me one time."

945
00:40:25.417 --> 00:40:28.417
I'm like, "No, Dad, I bought 'em
bought 'em this way."

946
00:40:28.500 --> 00:40:30.959
"What?"

947
00:40:31.041 --> 00:40:33.375
He's like, "So, you bought pants
to make it seem

948
00:40:33.458 --> 00:40:37.542
like you have a harder job
than you do?"

949
00:40:37.625 --> 00:40:39.709
He's all, "No one's gonna
believe you ripped the pants

950
00:40:39.792 --> 00:40:42.083
-telling jokes."

951
00:40:44.125 --> 00:40:46.125
"Good point."

952
00:40:46.208 --> 00:40:48.291
He's all, "That's the problem
with your generation.

953
00:40:48.375 --> 00:40:50.917
Millennials, you do things
to impress other people."

954
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:53.041
He's all, "Would you buy
a brand new car

955
00:40:53.125 --> 00:40:54.041
that's already dented?"

956
00:40:54.125 --> 00:40:57.041
I'm like, "If it's cool,
hell yeah I would."

957
00:40:58.125 --> 00:41:00.417
He told me.
He's like, "Hey, have a seat.

958
00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:02.417
I wanna talk to you."
I'm all, "All right."

959
00:41:02.500 --> 00:41:03.792
He goes to his closet,
opens it up,

960
00:41:03.875 --> 00:41:05.166
he showed me stacks
of ripped jeans

961
00:41:05.250 --> 00:41:07.083
he doesn't wear anymore
because they're ripped.

962
00:41:07.166 --> 00:41:08.959
He's all, "Look at this.
You don't see me wearing them."

963
00:41:09.041 --> 00:41:10.375
And I was like,
"What size are they?"

964
00:41:10.458 --> 00:41:11.500
He's like,
"Shut the hell up, man."

965
00:41:14.291 --> 00:41:16.083
My mom felt bad--
My mom felt bad

966
00:41:16.166 --> 00:41:18.792
that my dad was giving me
a hard time

967
00:41:18.875 --> 00:41:20.834
about the jeans
so, again, I go on the road,

968
00:41:20.917 --> 00:41:22.250
I come back like a week later.

969
00:41:22.333 --> 00:41:24.166
You know what
my adorable mom did?

970
00:41:24.250 --> 00:41:26.500
She got all my ripped jeans
and just sewed them up.

971
00:41:29.417 --> 00:41:31.667
What do you say to that?
"Thank you."

972
00:41:33.041 --> 00:41:35.917
Certain things
you can't explain, man.

973
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:39.333
Abstract art.

974
00:41:39.417 --> 00:41:42.959
To my parent's generation,
art looked like art,

975
00:41:43.041 --> 00:41:43.875
They don't have an appreciation
for other things.

976
00:41:43.959 --> 00:41:46.750
They're like, "What is this?"
You know?

977
00:41:46.834 --> 00:41:49.333
So I have a friend,
Talented, talented artist,

978
00:41:49.417 --> 00:41:51.875
his name's Taylor
and I went to one of his shows.

979
00:41:51.959 --> 00:41:55.750
And he sold out on all
his abstract art

980
00:41:55.834 --> 00:41:57.333
and it was beautiful, man.
I was so happy.

981
00:41:57.417 --> 00:41:59.667
I was, like, cheering for him.
Like, "Man, this is awesome."

982
00:41:59.750 --> 00:42:01.000
But he had one piece left.

983
00:42:01.083 --> 00:42:02.959
He's like,
"No, I didn't sell one.

984
00:42:03.041 --> 00:42:04.000
I'm left with one piece."
I said, "Oh, that's awesome."

985
00:42:04.083 --> 00:42:06.458
He's all,
"I'm gonna give it to you."

986
00:42:06.542 --> 00:42:07.667
I said, "No, you don't--
you don't have to.

987
00:42:07.750 --> 00:42:09.291
I couldn't afford it."

988
00:42:09.375 --> 00:42:10.333
He's like,
"No, I'm giving it to you.

989
00:42:10.417 --> 00:42:12.500
Thank you for coming out."
I'm like, "Ah, shit.

990
00:42:12.583 --> 00:42:14.000
Thank you, man."

991
00:42:14.083 --> 00:42:14.875
So, I was so happy.
This is my first ever art piece.

992
00:42:14.959 --> 00:42:17.750
You know, I grab it,
I go home,

993
00:42:17.834 --> 00:42:19.375
and I put it up on my wall.

994
00:42:19.458 --> 00:42:21.125
And I'm so proud, man.
This is my first art piece.

995
00:42:21.166 --> 00:42:24.583
And all it is,
it's a big, white square

996
00:42:24.667 --> 00:42:27.542
red triangle,

997
00:42:27.625 --> 00:42:28.750
uh, yellow rectangle,

998
00:42:28.834 --> 00:42:32.417
red circle,
squiggly line.

999
00:42:32.500 --> 00:42:35.417
Abstract art,
you know what I mean?

1000
00:42:35.500 --> 00:42:36.375
And I'm proud.
I'm just soaking it in.

1001
00:42:36.458 --> 00:42:39.250
I'm like, "Wow,
this is beautiful, man."

1002
00:42:39.333 --> 00:42:40.917
And then I hear my dad's
slippers walk into the room.

1003
00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:46.000
-Just...

1004
00:42:46.083 --> 00:42:48.000
And I don't even wanna
turn around

1005
00:42:48.083 --> 00:42:50.750
'cause I can feel the heat
from my dad's eyes on my neck.

1006
00:42:50.834 --> 00:42:53.000
-Just burning a hole.

1007
00:42:53.083 --> 00:42:55.917
-Just...shh...

1008
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:57.083
I don't know what it is.

1009
00:42:57.166 --> 00:42:58.333
My dad's always
chewing something.

1010
00:42:58.417 --> 00:42:59.750
Just...,
you know?

1011
00:43:01.542 --> 00:43:06.291
And I can hear it behind me.
Just, shhhh and then .

1012
00:43:07.542 --> 00:43:09.917
But I don't wanna turn around.
Just letting him wait.

1013
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:11.458
Finally,
he can't take it no more.

1014
00:43:11.542 --> 00:43:14.750
He's like,
"Wha--What the hell is this?"

1015
00:43:14.834 --> 00:43:16.041
Like, "Dad! I didn't
even know you were there."

1016
00:43:16.125 --> 00:43:19.458
You know?
He's all, "What is this?"

1017
00:43:19.542 --> 00:43:22.709
I'm like, "Oh, this is, uh--
this is abstract art."

1018
00:43:22.792 --> 00:43:23.792
He's like,
"Who gave you that?"

1019
00:43:23.875 --> 00:43:26.208
I'm like, "Oh, oh, oh,
my friend gave it to me."

1020
00:43:26.291 --> 00:43:27.625
He's all,
"How old's your friend? Five?"

1021
00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:33.208
"Ha ha! Yeah, I can see
why you think that,

1022
00:43:33.291 --> 00:43:35.125
but, uh, no he's like
30-something years old."

1023
00:43:35.208 --> 00:43:38.291
"Oh, okay. So he did this
when he was younger

1024
00:43:38.375 --> 00:43:39.417
-or something?"

1025
00:43:39.500 --> 00:43:41.041
"No."

1026
00:43:41.125 --> 00:43:43.458
He's like,
"Is he gonna finish it?"

1027
00:43:43.542 --> 00:43:44.208
I'm like, "It's done, Dad.
It's done.

1028
00:43:44.291 --> 00:43:48.750
-This is it."

1029
00:43:48.834 --> 00:43:50.417
So there's certain things
I can't explain to my father.

1030
00:43:50.500 --> 00:43:53.333
So, I don't know why I tried,
but in my heart I'm like,

1031
00:43:53.417 --> 00:43:55.500
"You know what?
I'm gonna run a marathon

1032
00:43:55.583 --> 00:43:56.709
and I'm gonna make
my father proud."

1033
00:43:56.792 --> 00:44:00.041
'Cause we don't have any
trophies or medals in our name.

1034
00:44:00.125 --> 00:44:02.917
-In our last name.

1035
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:04.291
So I'm like,
"He's gonna be really proud.

1036
00:44:04.375 --> 00:44:06.041
This is gonna be our first one.

1037
00:44:06.125 --> 00:44:07.500
He's gonna get rid of all of 'em
and this is gonna be it."

1038
00:44:07.583 --> 00:44:09.500
So I train for a year.
Uh, for a year straight

1039
00:44:09.583 --> 00:44:13.166
every day rain or shine.
In the morning I would wake up

1040
00:44:13.250 --> 00:44:15.333
and run three miles a day
and I did that

1041
00:44:15.417 --> 00:44:17.917
for a whole year to train.
I felt good.

1042
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:21.625
Uh, I now know that
that was incorrect, you know?

1043
00:44:21.709 --> 00:44:24.667
'Cause at some point you gotta
run more than three miles.

1044
00:44:27.125 --> 00:44:29.375
And, um, but I ran
it with a friend of mine

1045
00:44:29.458 --> 00:44:31.834
and my friend was very gracious
and saying that he was

1046
00:44:31.917 --> 00:44:34.834
meet me at the race.

1047
00:44:34.917 --> 00:44:37.333
Uh, at the start line
the day of, you know?

1048
00:44:37.417 --> 00:44:39.125
So, I get there
and I'm stretching.

1049
00:44:39.208 --> 00:44:40.709
I'm, like, in a good mood,
and he shows up.

1050
00:44:40.792 --> 00:44:42.250
He's like,
"Hey, man, good to see you."

1051
00:44:42.333 --> 00:44:43.500
I'm like, "Man, good to see you,
too. Are you ready?"

1052
00:44:43.583 --> 00:44:46.208
He's like, "Yeah, I'm ready."
He's all, "Did you train?"

1053
00:44:46.291 --> 00:44:48.000
I'm like, "I did.
Three miles a day."

1054
00:44:48.083 --> 00:44:50.834
-He's like, "What the fuck?"

1055
00:44:50.917 --> 00:44:52.750
He's all, "You're kidding!"
I said, "No!

1056
00:44:52.834 --> 00:44:55.500
That's pretty good, right?"
He's like, "No, that's bad."

1057
00:44:55.583 --> 00:44:58.166
He's all, "You're gotta run
more than three miles a day."

1058
00:44:58.250 --> 00:44:59.792
He's like, "Ah,
but it's too late now."

1059
00:44:59.875 --> 00:45:03.667
-I'm like, "I guess."

1060
00:45:03.792 --> 00:45:05.875
I'm like, "Do you have
any tips for me?"

1061
00:45:05.959 --> 00:45:08.041
He's like, "Uh...

1062
00:45:08.125 --> 00:45:11.208
-go home, maybe? I don't--"

1063
00:45:11.291 --> 00:45:12.917
Like, "No, I'm gonna stay."
He's all, "All right.

1064
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.959
No, I'm kidding.
I'm--I'm glad you're here.

1065
00:45:16.041 --> 00:45:17.750
He's all, "The biggest tip
I can give you..."

1066
00:45:17.834 --> 00:45:20.041
He's like, "Look, you're gonna
be running for so long

1067
00:45:20.125 --> 00:45:22.625
that if you don't eat stuff,
you can faint

1068
00:45:22.709 --> 00:45:24.917
and, like, die."
He's like, "People, like,

1069
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:26.375
poop themselves
and all kinds of stuff.

1070
00:45:26.458 --> 00:45:28.250
And they throw up."
He's all, "You gotta eat."

1071
00:45:28.333 --> 00:45:31.417
I'm like, "Oh, no,
I'll eat for sure."

1072
00:45:31.500 --> 00:45:33.583
And I did.
I ate everything they gave me.

1073
00:45:33.667 --> 00:45:36.250
I ate cookies,
donuts, sandwiches.

1074
00:45:36.333 --> 00:45:38.417
Brownies.
I ate everything, man.

1075
00:45:38.500 --> 00:45:41.709
I'm the first marathon runner
ever to weigh more at the end...

1076
00:45:43.417 --> 00:45:46.417
than the beginning
of the marathon.

1077
00:45:46.500 --> 00:45:48.875
"Mr. Trejo, would you run
the marathon again?"

1078
00:45:48.959 --> 00:45:50.750
"Absolutely.
It was delicious."

1079
00:45:55.041 --> 00:45:58.291
But I ran it, man.
It was--It was so cool.

1080
00:45:58.375 --> 00:46:00.083
Uh, L.A. Marathon,
it's, uh, Dodger Stadium

1081
00:46:00.166 --> 00:46:03.291
all the way to
Santa Monica Pier.

1082
00:46:03.375 --> 00:46:05.083
- Wow.
-Yeah, 26.2 miles.

1083
00:46:05.166 --> 00:46:07.834
Like, that's far in a car,
you know what I mean?

1084
00:46:07.917 --> 00:46:10.291
It took me five hours,
44 minutes,

1085
00:46:10.375 --> 00:46:12.083
-39 seconds, you know?

1086
00:46:12.166 --> 00:46:13.583
I still got the quicker
had I driven through

1087
00:46:13.667 --> 00:46:16.542
-L.A. traffic, you know?

1088
00:46:16.625 --> 00:46:19.625
But I did it, man.
Biggest accomplishment, man.

1089
00:46:19.709 --> 00:46:22.917
And, uh, I remember running
and--and just enjoying it.

1090
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:24.417
'Cause I had never
run a marathon.

1091
00:46:24.500 --> 00:46:27.000
I was having a great time.
I'm running, and, uh,

1092
00:46:27.083 --> 00:46:28.917
I didn't know what "goo" was.
Maybe you guys know

1093
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:30.417
-what "goo" is.
- Yeah.

1094
00:46:30.500 --> 00:46:31.917
Uh, yeah, like little packets
of caffeine.

1095
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:33.709
100 mg, you know?

1096
00:46:33.792 --> 00:46:35.166
And I was killin' 'em
'cause I didn't know it was,

1097
00:46:35.250 --> 00:46:37.166
-like, caffeine.

1098
00:46:37.250 --> 00:46:39.166
It was just delicious.
So I'm killing 'em.

1099
00:46:39.250 --> 00:46:40.500
Killin' 'em.

1100
00:46:40.583 --> 00:46:42.542
And I-I felt, like,
a energy boost.

1101
00:46:42.625 --> 00:46:45.750
And, uh, my homie was like,
"Hey, you know those have

1102
00:46:45.792 --> 00:46:48.083
caffeine?"
I'm like, "No, way."

1103
00:46:48.208 --> 00:46:49.625
You know, I'm probably
running faster.

1104
00:46:49.709 --> 00:46:51.959
In my head I'm, like,
jetting, you know?

1105
00:46:54.792 --> 00:46:56.667
The reality was
I was just like, "Oh."

1106
00:46:56.750 --> 00:46:58.458
-Like, "Oh, no.

1107
00:46:58.542 --> 00:47:01.125
Oh, this is not good, man."

1108
00:47:01.208 --> 00:47:03.041
I looked like a crackhead
from Long Beach,

1109
00:47:03.125 --> 00:47:05.291
you know what I mean?
"Give me your shoes.

1110
00:47:05.375 --> 00:47:07.500
Give me your shoes.

1111
00:47:07.583 --> 00:47:11.291
-Stop curling your toes, bro."

1112
00:47:11.375 --> 00:47:13.500
But I ran it, man.

1113
00:47:13.583 --> 00:47:14.625
And I kept eating 'em,
eating 'em.

1114
00:47:14.709 --> 00:47:18.333
And then at one point
I was just so excited, man.

1115
00:47:18.417 --> 00:47:21.166
I was just so excited that,
uh, people give you stuff,

1116
00:47:21.250 --> 00:47:22.875
like, along the way.
They give you, like, little cups

1117
00:47:22.959 --> 00:47:25.333
of Gatorades
at the water station,

1118
00:47:25.417 --> 00:47:27.709
uh, they give you, like,
water, and then at one point

1119
00:47:27.792 --> 00:47:29.667
I see this woman.
She has a Popsicle stick out

1120
00:47:29.750 --> 00:47:33.000
with a big chunk of goo.
Big ole thing like this

1121
00:47:33.083 --> 00:47:34.875
and she's holding it up
and I'm like, "Oh,

1122
00:47:34.959 --> 00:47:37.667
-I haven't had the vanilla one.

1123
00:47:37.750 --> 00:47:40.750
This is gonna be good."
So I'm, like, going over there,

1124
00:47:40.875 --> 00:47:41.625
-you know?

1125
00:47:41.750 --> 00:47:43.500
More like...
just going over there.

1126
00:47:43.583 --> 00:47:47.250
And, um, so I get closer.
It's like you know when you,

1127
00:47:47.333 --> 00:47:49.375
like, about to eat something
and in your head you're like,

1128
00:47:49.458 --> 00:47:52.250
"Oh, this is a flavor
that I'm about to get into"?

1129
00:47:52.333 --> 00:47:55.750
So, I'm like, "Oh, this is
gonna be so good." You know?

1130
00:47:55.834 --> 00:47:58.500
I grab it and I eat it.
It was all Vaseline,

1131
00:47:58.583 --> 00:48:00.125
-so...

1132
00:48:00.208 --> 00:48:03.250
One of the most disgusting
things I've ever eaten

1133
00:48:03.333 --> 00:48:05.250
-in my life.

1134
00:48:05.333 --> 00:48:07.458
It's so hard to get Vaseline
out of your mouth, man.

1135
00:48:07.542 --> 00:48:10.917
Water doesn't help.
It just glides off.

1136
00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:12.709
"Aah...aah..."

1137
00:48:15.083 --> 00:48:18.083
And then about 30 minutes later
I'm running, I'm running,

1138
00:48:18.166 --> 00:48:19.834
I'm having a good time,
and then I just hear my stomach

1139
00:48:19.917 --> 00:48:21.834
-go, .

1140
00:48:21.917 --> 00:48:26.250
I'm like, "Oh, no,
the Goo Gods are talking."

1141
00:48:26.333 --> 00:48:29.667
-So I had to go to the restroom

1142
00:48:29.750 --> 00:48:32.041
and I went to the restroom.
I took the most immaculate

1143
00:48:32.125 --> 00:48:34.166
number two
I've ever taken in my life.

1144
00:48:34.250 --> 00:48:37.041
Easy, no pressure.
Just...

1145
00:48:37.125 --> 00:48:39.834
- Done.

1146
00:48:39.917 --> 00:48:43.125
Not a trace.
Just like, "Really? Nothing?

1147
00:48:49.875 --> 00:48:53.250
That was pretty cool."
Like a little phantom deuce,

1148
00:48:53.333 --> 00:48:55.959
-you know?

1149
00:48:56.041 --> 00:48:59.250
So I got back out there, man,
and I'm just running, man.

1150
00:48:59.333 --> 00:49:02.125
I'm doing my thing.
And it feels good, you know?

1151
00:49:02.208 --> 00:49:04.458
So about mile 11
I broke off from my friend.

1152
00:49:04.542 --> 00:49:06.125
I'm like,
"Hey, man, I'm gonna go ahead."

1153
00:49:06.208 --> 00:49:07.959
He's like, "Hey, man, do you.
Do you"

1154
00:49:08.041 --> 00:49:09.750
I'm like, "All right."
So, you know, I started

1155
00:49:09.834 --> 00:49:12.291
getting ahead
and then around mile 16

1156
00:49:12.375 --> 00:49:14.542
my body starts to break down.
I feel it.

1157
00:49:14.625 --> 00:49:17.250
My knees sound like,
just, uh, empty water bottles

1158
00:49:17.333 --> 00:49:18.542
being crushed.
It's just...

1159
00:49:18.625 --> 00:49:22.250
"This is not good, you know?"
But I'm going.

1160
00:49:22.333 --> 00:49:23.625
Um, I started getting pain
in my lower back.

1161
00:49:23.709 --> 00:49:25.959
You know, it feels
like somebody's tasering me.

1162
00:49:26.041 --> 00:49:27.458
I got a headache
from all the caffeine goo

1163
00:49:27.542 --> 00:49:30.208
I've been eating,
but I'm going.

1164
00:49:30.291 --> 00:49:33.917
So it's now mile 26, right?
Mile 26.

1165
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:36.500
I'm .2 miles away
from the finish line

1166
00:49:36.583 --> 00:49:38.125
and I can see it!
I'm right there.

1167
00:49:38.208 --> 00:49:40.417
I'm about to be done,
but I take what I think

1168
00:49:40.500 --> 00:49:43.166
is gonna be my last step
ever in life.

1169
00:49:43.250 --> 00:49:44.500
-I take the last step.

1170
00:49:44.583 --> 00:49:47.917
I'm like,
"Ugh, I can't go anymore."

1171
00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:49.500
I'm like, "I-I have to take
another step."

1172
00:49:49.583 --> 00:49:51.625
So I take another step.
I'm like, "

1173
00:49:51.709 --> 00:49:55.041
That hurts so much."
And if you've ever run

1174
00:49:55.125 --> 00:49:57.000
a marathon, you know
how supportive people can be.

1175
00:49:57.083 --> 00:49:59.166
They're very supportive
and that's what's beautiful

1176
00:49:59.250 --> 00:50:00.500
about a marathon, you know?
People supporting people

1177
00:50:00.583 --> 00:50:03.834
to accomplish
a life-long dream or a goal.

1178
00:50:03.917 --> 00:50:06.667
And I'm there and I'm just like,
"I don't know what to do."

1179
00:50:06.750 --> 00:50:09.291
And this elderly woman
runs past me and she's like,

1180
00:50:09.375 --> 00:50:10.709
"Baby, you can do it."
I'm like, "Ah!

1181
00:50:10.792 --> 00:50:14.333
-That hurt so much!

1182
00:50:14.417 --> 00:50:18.250
You're not helping!"

1183
00:50:18.291 --> 00:50:19.625
That hurt a lot.

1184
00:50:19.709 --> 00:50:21.417
And I thought about quitting
at that moment.

1185
00:50:21.500 --> 00:50:23.750
I said, "You know what?
I'm done.

1186
00:50:23.834 --> 00:50:24.583
I don't wanna do this no more.
I'm done."

1187
00:50:24.709 --> 00:50:27.208
But I remind myself
why I'm there.

1188
00:50:27.291 --> 00:50:28.959
I'm like, "You know, don't you
wanna make your dad proud?"

1189
00:50:29.041 --> 00:50:31.542
I'm like, "Yeah, I do."
So I stay, you know?

1190
00:50:31.625 --> 00:50:35.000
And I take another step
and I'm like,

1191
00:50:35.083 --> 00:50:36.500
"I think I can do this."

1192
00:50:36.583 --> 00:50:37.208
So I started taking
my little steps and I'm just

1193
00:50:37.291 --> 00:50:38.583
going for it, you know?

1194
00:50:38.667 --> 00:50:40.583
My shoulder blades hurt
so much at this point.

1195
00:50:40.667 --> 00:50:43.166
They're all cramped up
that I can't, like,

1196
00:50:43.250 --> 00:50:45.583
keep my arms straight to run.
They're like coiled up.

1197
00:50:45.667 --> 00:50:47.417
And I'm like,
"That's not stopping me."

1198
00:50:47.500 --> 00:50:50.291
I'm just going for it.
I'm going.

1199
00:50:50.375 --> 00:50:52.291
And then as I'm going,
people start clapping for me.

1200
00:50:52.375 --> 00:50:53.333
They're like, "You can do it!"
I'm like, "All right,

1201
00:50:53.417 --> 00:50:55.709
-thank you, man.

1202
00:50:55.792 --> 00:50:59.333
Appreciate y'all.
All right. "

1203
00:51:03.792 --> 00:51:06.291
And I keep going.
I'm getting, like, more energy.

1204
00:51:06.375 --> 00:51:07.834
I'm like,
"Yeah! Hell yeah, man!"

1205
00:51:07.917 --> 00:51:09.750
And then I look back
and everyone's cheering.

1206
00:51:09.834 --> 00:51:10.667
They're like, "Keep going!"
I'm like, "All right!

1207
00:51:10.750 --> 00:51:12.583
-All right! Sorry, man.

1208
00:51:12.667 --> 00:51:16.333
I didn't know you can't stop,
you know?"

1209
00:51:16.417 --> 00:51:19.166
I looked to my left,
this woman is crying, man.

1210
00:51:19.250 --> 00:51:20.542
I look to my left
and she's crying.

1211
00:51:20.625 --> 00:51:23.333
She's like, "Keep going, baby!"
I'm like, "I am. Are you okay?"

1212
00:51:23.417 --> 00:51:25.417
She's like, "Yeah, keep going!
This is beautiful!"

1213
00:51:25.500 --> 00:51:27.291
I'm like, "What is?

1214
00:51:30.291 --> 00:51:33.834
What's beautiful?

1215
00:51:33.917 --> 00:51:36.709
The sky?
I know that one."

1216
00:51:36.792 --> 00:51:39.625
So I just keep going, man.

1217
00:51:39.709 --> 00:51:41.625
And I'm getting closer.
I'm like, "Oh, hell yeah!"

1218
00:51:41.709 --> 00:51:43.125
-You know?

1219
00:51:43.208 --> 00:51:45.166
And then I look to my right
and I see this woman.

1220
00:51:45.250 --> 00:51:46.792
She's crying, too, but I can't
hear 'cause it's so loud.

1221
00:51:46.875 --> 00:51:50.375
People are cheering,
but I can read her lips.

1222
00:51:50.458 --> 00:51:52.500
I look at her.
I'm like, "What is she saying?"

1223
00:51:52.583 --> 00:51:54.375
She's like,
"You are an inspiration to me."

1224
00:51:54.458 --> 00:51:56.375
-I go, "Oh, no...

1225
00:51:56.458 --> 00:51:59.709
Oh, man.
This is not good."

1226
00:51:59.792 --> 00:52:01.667
They think
this is something else.

1227
00:52:06.667 --> 00:52:10.083
I am now embarrassed
off my ass.

1228
00:52:11.208 --> 00:52:14.542
I want this whole thing
to be over, you know?

1229
00:52:14.625 --> 00:52:17.458
I'm not having a good time.

1230
00:52:17.542 --> 00:52:19.917
So I just keep going.

1231
00:52:22.208 --> 00:52:23.291
And then I realized something.

1232
00:52:23.375 --> 00:52:26.000
I realized something, man,

1233
00:52:26.083 --> 00:52:27.792
and, I think, um,
we all have a moment

1234
00:52:27.875 --> 00:52:30.792
as an adult
that--that--that changed you.

1235
00:52:30.875 --> 00:52:32.458
This was this moment for me
as an adult.

1236
00:52:32.542 --> 00:52:35.125
This changed me
'cause I realized that they

1237
00:52:35.208 --> 00:52:37.000
were not cheering for me.

1238
00:52:37.083 --> 00:52:39.750
They were cheering
for a gentleman in front of me.

1239
00:52:39.834 --> 00:52:42.959
And, um...I get goosebumps
to this day telling this story

1240
00:52:43.041 --> 00:52:45.166
because, uh, I didn't know
what condition he had,

1241
00:52:45.250 --> 00:52:46.792
but he had a condition.
I'm no doctor.

1242
00:52:46.875 --> 00:52:48.959
I don't know what that was,
but it was very beautiful

1243
00:52:49.041 --> 00:52:51.500
'cause I don't care who you are,
you cannot wake up one day

1244
00:52:51.583 --> 00:52:53.041
and say,
"I'm running a marathon."

1245
00:52:53.125 --> 00:52:55.458
You have to train at least
incorrectly, like I did

1246
00:52:55.542 --> 00:52:58.542
-you know?

1247
00:52:58.583 --> 00:53:01.542
And I'm looking at him
and he's, like, going for it.

1248
00:53:01.583 --> 00:53:04.792
Like, no one's cheering for him.
Well, they were, you know?

1249
00:53:06.500 --> 00:53:09.333
But it was so cool 'cause he
wasn't trying to impress nobody.

1250
00:53:09.417 --> 00:53:10.375
He was trying
to impress himself.

1251
00:53:10.458 --> 00:53:14.041
And here I was trying to impress
my dad, you know?

1252
00:53:14.125 --> 00:53:16.834
And this is how I know
I'm not a good person.

1253
00:53:16.917 --> 00:53:20.709
'Cause my second thought was,
"How the hell

1254
00:53:20.792 --> 00:53:24.667
-is he in front of me?"

1255
00:53:24.750 --> 00:53:27.375
So I had one more packet of goo.
I took the hit.

1256
00:53:27.458 --> 00:53:29.583
I said, "Let's do it, bro."

1257
00:53:31.667 --> 00:53:35.583
And I'm going.
I can't catch up, man.

1258
00:53:35.667 --> 00:53:37.583
I'm trying so hard to catch up.
I cannot.

1259
00:53:37.667 --> 00:53:39.542
I get close,
but I don't catch up.

1260
00:53:39.625 --> 00:53:42.041
And I'm going and I'm going.
And I-I--

1261
00:53:42.125 --> 00:53:44.750
you know, he looks at me,
I look at him.

1262
00:53:46.709 --> 00:53:48.750
And I say, "Hey, can I
just talk to you for a minute?"

1263
00:53:48.834 --> 00:53:50.750
He's all, "What's up?"
I'm like,

1264
00:53:50.834 --> 00:53:51.750
"Hey, you're impressive, man,
I've been behind you

1265
00:53:51.834 --> 00:53:55.375
for a while now apparently
and, um...

1266
00:53:55.458 --> 00:53:57.834
-You're really good, man."

1267
00:53:57.917 --> 00:53:59.250
He's like,
"Yeah, did you train?"

1268
00:53:59.333 --> 00:54:01.208
I said, "I did. Three miles."
And he laughed.

1269
00:54:01.291 --> 00:54:03.375
I'm like, "Oh, screw you, man.
All right...

1270
00:54:03.458 --> 00:54:04.917
you can lead, bro."

1271
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:06.208
And then I realized
something as well.

1272
00:54:06.291 --> 00:54:10.375
That when you run a marathon
and you cross the finish line,

1273
00:54:10.458 --> 00:54:12.375
they take a picture.

1274
00:54:12.458 --> 00:54:15.792
I'm like, "Man, I can't have
this dude anywhere near me."

1275
00:54:18.500 --> 00:54:20.417
Not that I care.
I don't care.

1276
00:54:20.500 --> 00:54:21.625
I think it's really impressive,
but I just won't be able

1277
00:54:21.667 --> 00:54:24.709
to explain this to my father.

1278
00:54:27.083 --> 00:54:30.041
So I go and I'm going
and I'm going.

1279
00:54:30.125 --> 00:54:31.917
I cross the finish line.

1280
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:33.291
Race is done.

1281
00:54:33.375 --> 00:54:35.709
Twenty six-point-two miles.
Five hours, forty four minutes,

1282
00:54:35.792 --> 00:54:37.750
thirty nine seconds.
Freaking done.

1283
00:54:37.834 --> 00:54:40.750
Biggest accomplishment
of my life, man.

1284
00:54:40.834 --> 00:54:43.333
-Oh, thank you.

1285
00:54:43.417 --> 00:54:47.625
So great.
So, I sit down and I'm like--

1286
00:54:47.709 --> 00:54:49.834
I'm tired of course.
I'm in a lot of pain,

1287
00:54:49.917 --> 00:54:51.834
but I start getting really cold
and I don't know why.

1288
00:54:51.917 --> 00:54:52.583
I start shaking, you know?

1289
00:54:52.667 --> 00:54:55.417
And then, uh--
I know this now,

1290
00:54:55.500 --> 00:54:57.041
that if you've been moving
for so long

1291
00:54:57.125 --> 00:55:00.500
and then you stop,
you can catch hypothermia.

1292
00:55:00.583 --> 00:55:03.250
So, I was like potentially
catching hypothermia.

1293
00:55:03.333 --> 00:55:04.875
I'm so cold.
So, a lady runs over

1294
00:55:04.959 --> 00:55:06.792
with, like, an aluminum blanket.
She has a yellow shirt.

1295
00:55:06.875 --> 00:55:08.917
It says "Staff."
And, uh, she wraps me up

1296
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:11.583
in this thing
and I think it's a bad prank,

1297
00:55:11.667 --> 00:55:13.792
-you know?

1298
00:55:13.875 --> 00:55:15.792
Wrap the Mexican guy
in aluminum foil?

1299
00:55:15.875 --> 00:55:16.959
-Good.

1300
00:55:17.041 --> 00:55:21.333
I'm just there shaking
like, "Oh, no. All right."

1301
00:55:21.417 --> 00:55:24.625
And, um, she leaves,
but then the woman comes over

1302
00:55:24.709 --> 00:55:28.583
and, uh, she--she's from
the marathon.

1303
00:55:28.667 --> 00:55:30.458
"Staff" shirt
and she's like, "Hey, baby.

1304
00:55:30.542 --> 00:55:32.792
Congratulations."
She's like, "You finished

1305
00:55:32.875 --> 00:55:36.000
the L.A. Marathon.
The 33rd annual L.A. Marathon."

1306
00:55:36.083 --> 00:55:37.583
I said, "Awesome.
Thank you."

1307
00:55:37.625 --> 00:55:40.458
She's like, "Look,
I have something for you."

1308
00:55:40.542 --> 00:55:42.208
She puts the medal on.
I feel the weight of it.

1309
00:55:42.291 --> 00:55:44.208
I'm a mess.
I'm crying, you know?

1310
00:55:44.291 --> 00:55:45.875
She's like, "Congratulations."
She's like, "You finished in

1311
00:55:45.959 --> 00:55:49.333
under six hours
so that means everyone

1312
00:55:49.417 --> 00:55:51.583
from first place
all the way to--

1313
00:55:51.667 --> 00:55:53.375
I don't know
what place you got."

1314
00:55:53.458 --> 00:55:55.542
I'm like, "Ah, don't say it like
that, you know what I'm saying?"

1315
00:55:55.625 --> 00:55:57.166
She's all,
"But you get the medal.

1316
00:55:57.250 --> 00:55:58.750
I said, "Thank you so much."
She's like, "Congratulations.

1317
00:55:58.834 --> 00:56:00.208
We'll see you next year."

1318
00:56:00.291 --> 00:56:01.959
I'm like,
"No, you will never see me.

1319
00:56:02.625 --> 00:56:05.709
I don't like it here."

1320
00:56:08.750 --> 00:56:10.208
And then she's like, "Oh,
before I forget.

1321
00:56:10.291 --> 00:56:11.375
This is yours."
And so she goes over

1322
00:56:11.458 --> 00:56:15.333
and hands me this, like,
cardboard folder thing, right?

1323
00:56:15.417 --> 00:56:16.417
And then she leaves.
I'm like, "Oh, thank you."

1324
00:56:16.500 --> 00:56:18.959
And I unwrap my aluminum foil
costume, you know?

1325
00:56:19.041 --> 00:56:22.917
And I open it and it's a picture
of the marathon.

1326
00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:24.875
Me crossing the finish line.
I'm like, "Wow.

1327
00:56:24.959 --> 00:56:28.500
I can--Fuck!
He's right there!

1328
00:56:31.667 --> 00:56:35.875
Damn it!
Now what, man?!"

1329
00:56:35.959 --> 00:56:39.709
I'm tired! I'm tired.
I wanna go home, you know?

1330
00:56:39.792 --> 00:56:42.125
And, uh, so I gotta take
a Uber from Santa Monica

1331
00:56:42.208 --> 00:56:44.542
all the way to Long Beach
and, um...

1332
00:56:44.625 --> 00:56:48.667
so I take the Uber, but the
whole way that I'm headed home

1333
00:56:48.750 --> 00:56:50.750
I'm, like, praying that
my father isn't home.

1334
00:56:50.834 --> 00:56:53.583
'Cause--Look, tough love.
It's fine, but, like--

1335
00:56:53.667 --> 00:56:56.917
like, I just imagine, like,
my dad is like that kinda guy.

1336
00:56:56.959 --> 00:56:58.166
If he was to walk in on me
about to commit suicide

1337
00:56:58.250 --> 00:57:01.041
with a gun in my mouth,
first thing he would say,

1338
00:57:01.125 --> 00:57:02.917
"Hey, put some plastic up
or some shit, man.

1339
00:57:03.000 --> 00:57:06.667
You're gonna make
a big fucking mess here!

1340
00:57:06.750 --> 00:57:08.500
Look, I don't wanna lose my son
and the deposit.

1341
00:57:08.583 --> 00:57:11.417
That's not good."

1342
00:57:15.250 --> 00:57:17.458
So that's what
I gotta go home to.

1343
00:57:17.542 --> 00:57:21.750
So I get home and I just wanna
beeline to my room and lay down.

1344
00:57:21.834 --> 00:57:23.583
So I open the door.
My dad's watching the game.

1345
00:57:23.667 --> 00:57:26.000
-I'm just like, going over.

1346
00:57:26.083 --> 00:57:28.834
He goes, "Jesus!"
I'm like, "Ah, shit."

1347
00:57:28.917 --> 00:57:31.000
I'm like, "Hey. What's up?"

1348
00:57:31.083 --> 00:57:33.375
He's all,
"Why you look like that?"

1349
00:57:36.625 --> 00:57:37.750
"What are you talking about?"

1350
00:57:37.834 --> 00:57:39.458
He's like,
"You look like that."

1351
00:57:39.542 --> 00:57:40.959
He's all, "Don't tell me.
Don't tell me."

1352
00:57:41.041 --> 00:57:42.041
He's all, "You finally
got a real man job?

1353
00:57:42.125 --> 00:57:45.834
A real man job, um,
you know, where your pants

1354
00:57:45.917 --> 00:57:48.709
can rip working and stuff?"

1355
00:57:48.792 --> 00:57:51.083
Like, "No, I still tell jokes,
but I ran the marathon, Dad."

1356
00:57:51.166 --> 00:57:54.250
-He's all, "Oh, that's cute."

1357
00:57:54.333 --> 00:57:55.917
I'm like, "What do you mean?
'That's cute'?"

1358
00:57:56.000 --> 00:57:57.542
He's like,
"Yeah, that's nothing, man."

1359
00:57:57.625 --> 00:57:59.125
He's all,
"How many miles is that?"

1360
00:57:59.208 --> 00:58:02.458
I'm like, "26.2."
He's all, "That's cute."

1361
00:58:02.542 --> 00:58:05.792
I'm like, "What are you
talking about, Dad?"

1362
00:58:05.875 --> 00:58:07.083
He's like,
"Look, man, have a seat.

1363
00:58:07.166 --> 00:58:08.917
I wanna talk to you, man."

1364
00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:11.792
He's all, "When I ran
100 miles over the border..."

1365
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:16.917
He's all, "Nobody gave me
Gatorade I want you to know."

1366
00:58:20.041 --> 00:58:21.709
How can
I compete with that line?

1367
00:58:21.792 --> 00:58:23.625
"When I ran 100 miles--"
I'm like, " I'm done.

1368
00:58:23.709 --> 00:58:24.917
-Here."

1369
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:27.583
He's all,
"Nobody gave me nothing.

1370
00:58:27.667 --> 00:58:29.125
I just have a trophy
I gave to myself

1371
00:58:29.208 --> 00:58:31.333
when I 'lacrosse' the border.

1372
00:58:39.667 --> 00:58:42.333
He's like, "I gave that
to myself because I did that."

1373
00:58:42.417 --> 00:58:44.709
He's all, "That's the problem
with your generation.

1374
00:58:44.792 --> 00:58:45.875
Again..." He's like, "That's
a problem with you Millennials.

1375
00:58:45.959 --> 00:58:47.709
Man, you do stuff
to impress people.

1376
00:58:47.792 --> 00:58:49.208
You want people to like you

1377
00:58:49.291 --> 00:58:52.709
and you upload the pictures
on Instaface."

1378
00:58:54.542 --> 00:58:55.375
I'm like, "I don't have
that one yet,

1379
00:58:55.458 --> 00:58:58.750
but I'll be sure to sign up,"
you know?

1380
00:58:58.834 --> 00:59:00.542
He's all, "You want people
to like you, man."

1381
00:59:00.625 --> 00:59:02.834
He's like, "You know why I ran
100 miles over the border?

1382
00:59:02.917 --> 00:59:03.875
'Cause I have responsibilities."

1383
00:59:03.959 --> 00:59:06.250
He's all,
"You know what that is?"

1384
00:59:06.333 --> 00:59:09.083
I'm like, "I think so.
I don't know..."

1385
00:59:09.166 --> 00:59:11.417
He's all,
"I had responsibilities, man.

1386
00:59:11.500 --> 00:59:14.083
I had a wife, I had kids.

1387
00:59:14.166 --> 00:59:14.917
I had a side chick and a kid."

1388
00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:17.709
I'm like,
"Get the hell outta here.

1389
00:59:17.792 --> 00:59:19.083
-You had a side chick

1390
00:59:19.166 --> 00:59:20.709
and a kid?"
He's all, "Bro, that's you.

1391
00:59:20.792 --> 00:59:22.583
You know that, right?"
I'm like, "Oh..."

1392
00:59:23.375 --> 00:59:26.750
All right.

1393
00:59:26.834 --> 00:59:28.542
Is that why you always
had two jobs?"

1394
00:59:28.625 --> 00:59:31.625
"Two families,
that's right."

1395
00:59:31.709 --> 00:59:32.875
Like, "Oh, man."
He's all, "So now you tell me

1396
00:59:32.959 --> 00:59:36.834
why you ran the marathon."

1397
00:59:36.917 --> 00:59:39.625
I'm like, "Oh, man,
I did it to impress you

1398
00:59:39.709 --> 00:59:42.458
and, uh, to get,
uh, free Vaseline.

1399
00:59:42.542 --> 00:59:44.375
-I don't know.

1400
00:59:44.458 --> 00:59:47.208
A medal
with our last name on it."

1401
00:59:47.291 --> 00:59:52.041
He's all, "Oh, I see that.
That's pretty cool, man."

1402
00:59:52.125 --> 00:59:54.250
And this is the part
where I almost got disowned.

1403
00:59:54.333 --> 00:59:57.083
He looks at me and he goes,
"Did you pay to run?"

1404
00:59:57.166 --> 01:00:01.166
-I'm like, "

1405
01:00:01.250 --> 01:00:03.041
Yeah."

1406
01:00:03.125 --> 01:00:04.083
He's all,
"How much did you pay?"

1407
01:00:04.166 --> 01:00:07.583
I'm like, "$150 dollars."
He's all, "$150 dollars!

1408
01:00:07.667 --> 01:00:09.792
You're stupid, right?"

1409
01:00:09.875 --> 01:00:12.583
He's all, "You couldn't run
on the sidewalk for free

1410
01:00:12.667 --> 01:00:13.417
following everybody?"

1411
01:00:13.500 --> 01:00:16.000
-I'm like, "Oh, man.

1412
01:00:16.083 --> 01:00:19.375
I didn't even think about that."

1413
01:00:23.875 --> 01:00:27.500
And I'm just there feeling bad
for myself, you know?

1414
01:00:27.625 --> 01:00:29.709
Bad, but proud, you know?

1415
01:00:29.792 --> 01:00:31.208
It's like, "I did it."
You know?

1416
01:00:31.291 --> 01:00:33.959
And then my dad goes,
"What's that in your hand?"

1417
01:00:34.041 --> 01:00:37.583
-I'm like, "Oh, nothing."

1418
01:00:37.667 --> 01:00:39.917
He's all, "What is it?"
I'm like, "Oh, nothing."

1419
01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:40.959
"Tell me."
I'm like, "It's a picture."

1420
01:00:41.041 --> 01:00:43.583
He's all,
"I would love to see that."

1421
01:00:45.333 --> 01:00:46.875
"I don't wanna show you, Dad."

1422
01:00:46.959 --> 01:00:50.125
"I really wanna see it now."

1423
01:00:50.208 --> 01:00:52.959
Now, I don't have the energy
to run from my father

1424
01:00:53.041 --> 01:00:55.458
or rip the picture.

1425
01:00:55.583 --> 01:00:57.583
He just goes over there
just takes it from me.

1426
01:00:57.667 --> 01:00:59.291
Just...shht!
"Give me that."

1427
01:00:59.417 --> 01:01:01.667
And he takes the picture,
goes to the dinner table,

1428
01:01:01.750 --> 01:01:03.333
sets it down,
opens it up.

1429
01:01:03.417 --> 01:01:05.208
He puts on his little
Walgreens glasses

1430
01:01:05.291 --> 01:01:06.667
that come in the...

1431
01:01:06.750 --> 01:01:09.542
He puts on those glasses
that come in the tube, you know?

1432
01:01:09.667 --> 01:01:11.959
Sit right here like Santa Claus,
you know?

1433
01:01:13.291 --> 01:01:14.375
Like, to this day I feel like
my dad doesn't,

1434
01:01:14.458 --> 01:01:17.458
like, need glasses.
He always looks over 'em

1435
01:01:17.542 --> 01:01:19.166
like this, you know?

1436
01:01:23.625 --> 01:01:24.709
"You don't know what
prescription you are."

1437
01:01:24.792 --> 01:01:27.792
"No, I don't know."

1438
01:01:27.875 --> 01:01:31.417
He probably had 20/20
this whole time.

1439
01:01:31.500 --> 01:01:32.375
Puts the picture down.
He opens it

1440
01:01:32.458 --> 01:01:35.291
and he just looks
at the picture, you know?

1441
01:01:48.875 --> 01:01:50.500
"Who the fuck is this guy?"

1442
01:01:53.041 --> 01:01:55.125
So now I gotta go over there
and look, you know?

1443
01:01:55.208 --> 01:01:57.250
It's like,
and I look.

1444
01:01:57.291 --> 01:01:58.375
I'm like, "Dad, that's me."
He's like, "I know that's you.

1445
01:01:58.500 --> 01:02:01.041
Look at the guy next to you.
He's making fun of you.

1446
01:02:01.166 --> 01:02:02.875
What the hell's going on here?"

1447
01:02:04.834 --> 01:02:06.375
I'm like, "Oh, man."

1448
01:02:06.458 --> 01:02:09.125
He's all, "Don't embarrass me
like that no more."

1449
01:02:09.208 --> 01:02:12.333
My last name's on your bib,
man.

1450
01:02:12.417 --> 01:02:14.000
He's all,
"Don't do athletic things.

1451
01:02:14.083 --> 01:02:15.041
Can you just be
a stay-at-home son?

1452
01:02:15.125 --> 01:02:16.500
Can you do that?"
I'm like, "Yeah.

1453
01:02:16.583 --> 01:02:17.667
Hell yeah, I can do that."

1454
01:02:21.125 --> 01:02:22.834
My name's Jesus Trejo.
That's my time.

1455
01:02:22.917 --> 01:02:24.041
Thank you, guys, so much!
