Yeah exactly It was some wacky shit like that Cause you're from the Bronx originally That's right From the Bronx Born at the old Lincoln Hospital And how long have you been out in LA?
I was here all my life man I was born in LA I was born out there Lived out there off and on as a kid Then I came back to California And then I moved to Puerto Rico So I lived out there for a minute So hold on So you were born in the Bronx?
In the Bronx I'm not gonna ask you what year Cause that's not important The statistics but So how long were you in the Bronx?

Eventually he got caught Because he was taking He took photos And he tried to develop them as CVS Well he was actually spoon feeding kids Blindfolded his fucking semen Right?
And the interesting thing about the story Is that LA Unified School District Initially Like Didn't Like paid off some of the families Like I don't know how many fucking millions of dollars Sure And then they finally settled out of court For like 300 and something million dollars Right I only say that because If your kids Are products of LA Unified School District And they grow up to be retarded Then chances are It's because of this motherfucker Because all the money that would have gone to your education Went to pay off the families that he spoon fed come Okay?

Yeah that's what I did I was a repossessor by trade man Okay So I did that in the beginning and Started Operacion Repo And then you This was obviously a concept that you came up with And then you sold it to One of the The The Telemundo The Spick channels out here now Yeah That's funny man They're the one that gave me my break No shit They took a chance No shit They took a risk on me No shit And opened some big doors for us Telemundo?
No I'm I'm fucking around Telemundo Oh yeah no Yeah Telemundo is huge Yeah so So but But But the The The The network that you were on was in Telemundo Was it?

Yeah yeah that What The way it worked out is that We were Say 2008 So we started in 2006 Two years into the Spanish TruTV was Court TV at the time Yes yes And they wanted us to be the transitional show From Court TV To the new network TruTV So that's where we made history with them And you know we launched And it was a big hit And then TruTV they based all their shows on Operacion Repo that format The format Yeah Uh huh Awesome So that's where we started No that's a big deal dude I mean I mean that's like You know You coming from fucking Like doing something Like a regular living type job And translating it to You know a reality show And you know ever since then There's been a lot of shows I mean there was What is it Dog the Bounty Hunter Yeah there's a lot of them And all those types of shows where South Beach Toll Yeah There's Lizard Lick You know and all these guys have consulted In a lot of these You have Absolutely Okay So again it's been Now they have Airplane Repo And everything was just Airplane Repo?
They took what we were doing On Operation Repo Did you snuggle a lot of co-hosts?
Did you snuggle a lot of cocaine In the 80s?
Yeah Did you buy 50 fleet of airplanes?
Yeah that's Did you not pay your insurance?
That was What was that Cocaine Cowboys I seen that Yeah Yeah that was good Good documentary Yes There's a few documentaries About the 80s With smuggling cocaine Yeah And having fucking Well this girl will know All about it right Tanya?
Private Yes Private hangers Why did you Did you smuggle?
No I'm Colombian Oh you are Yes Shit I didn't know you were Colombian For like a year Why did you do that for?
You see he said once Once He learned Once No no no no I love Colombians Colombians I mean I love all Latin So do I Latin cultures No Colombians are always nice you know Well what happened?
I tried to slit your throat Well what happened No no no no What happened was It was an arrangement It was an arranged marriage She was actually dating Well she was seeing My mom's What do you call it My mom's husband's brother at the time And they needed somebody To get her to marry And she was like I'm not going to marry you I'm not going to marry you I'm not going to marry you Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Colombians in New York are a different story.
We got Jackson Heights in Queens, which is fucking all Colombians, where all of the cocaine comes through.
Once it gets in America, however the hell it gets there, it'll wind up there in Jackson Heights.
That's kind of a stretch, though, from South America all the way that way.
Why didn't they just put it through Mexico?
Oh, yeah, they do.
Well, it could be through Mexico.
It could be.
It comes both ways.
Well, in the 80s, it was through Miami.
Yeah.
You know, and then, you know, it finds its way.
I mean, one of those documentaries, I don't think it was.
Maybe it was Cocaine Cowboys, the one that Blow was based on.
Was that Cocaine Cowboys?
Could have been.
Could have been.
So there were two dudes that were going to Columbia, and, you know, one of them was an Air Force pilot, and he had, you know, a private plane, and he would come, and he'd land his plane in his own, like, hangar, and then they had an operation.
If you see the movie Blow, it's kind of based on this guy's real-life story.
And then, I mean, they made, I think the movie, the movie starts, the movie Blow starts by saying, if you sniffed cocaine in the 80s, chances are you bought it from me.
That's how it starts.
Yeah.
But he was a white dude.
He wasn't Colombian.
Well, you know, Hollywood, Hollywood casting.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
The actual guy was a white dude.
He was?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, his connections weren't obviously white, but he was a white dude.
He had the pilot's license, and he was the guy that was doing his thing.
Anyway, so the operation, Operation Repo.
So how did you get from being a young Puerto Rican kid from the Bronx, coming to L.A., and going through the L.A.
Unified School District without sipping on cum, you know, graduating high school and shit, to becoming a Repo, a real Repo?
Let's say my life, like, I don't want to do anymore.
I don't want to do what I'm doing anymore, right?
And I want to be a repossession.
How would I go about that?
First, I would tell you to stay out of it.
Man, especially at your age, because it's a young man's game.
It's a young man's game.
Why?
Because it's 247, man.
You got to work 247.
You don't have time for a family, time for kids.
Really?
Time for no parties.
Because they call you whenever, and you got to show up.
And guess what?
If you don't answer, they call the next guy.
And then they just keep on calling the next guy.
But how did you get into that?
I'm just curious.
Well, being Latino, man, I was a natural-born car thief.
Got it.
So, and I didn't want to go to jail stealing cars, right?
Did you really?
No.
No, you're...
Bro, I stole my first car.
I was 11 when my sister...
Yeah.
Here?
Yeah, here.
And then you...
Yeah, I dumped the projects, man.
It was a 66 Chevy Caprice.
I'll never forget it.
That's a nice car.
We jumped on a bicycle.
I was on the handlebars.
We went to the next project.
I jumped on a bicycle, you know, and I stole the car, and I got inside the car.
How I in the car?
We went to Jack in the Box.
You know, we had a couple of burgers, and then we got caught over there.
You know what I'm saying?
Did I tell you the story already?
Not yet.
Because you hit it right...
Yeah, it was pretty much that.
And that was the end of my car-stealing career, okay?
Yeah, so that's what happened.
You know, I got into repossessing, and I was in Florida.
Okay.
And then I did it out there for a year.
I was in the Marine Corps at the time.
I also was working for Continental, so I was a busy cat, right?
Now you sound like a...
Now you sound like...
What do you sound...
You sound like a guy from Chicago now.
Yeah.
Now you're in the Continental.
Yeah.
Like a fucking kid.
Like a Chicagoan.
Hey, I don't sound like a Mexican right now.
Now you hit me up with a Chicago accent.
Love it.
Love it.
So you got into it in Florida.
Where?
Miami?
No, man.
Oh, Orlando.
Orlando, of course.
Spickville Jr. Yeah, that's right.
For those of y'all that don't know about Orlando, right?
For those of y'all that don't know about Orlando, so all of the Puerto Ricans, they got kicked out of the Bronx because they couldn't pay for their fucking mortgage, or they got kicked out of the projects.
They moved to Orlando, Florida.
That's right.
So now Orlando, Florida is like little Puerto Rico.
That's exactly right, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, so...
And then the ones that couldn't make it in Miami, they had to go to Orlando, too.
The Cubanos?
The Cubanos or the Oroquias?
The Puerto Ricans.
The Puerto Ricans.
I lived in Miami for a minute.
Oh, you did?
I lived in the best place out there, man.
Where?
Hialeah.
Oh, Hialeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I got married in Miami.
Really?
I see my first murder in Hialeah.
Yeah.
Well, Hialeah is fucked up.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's bad.
Florida's...
What was this, 80s?
Yeah, this was in the 80s.
No, late 70s.
Late 70s?
Yeah.
Beginning of the 80s.
That's when it becomes crazy.
Yeah.
82, Fidel lets the Marialitos go out.
Fucking insanity motherfuckers.
Those criminally insane fucks come into Miami.
They wind up all the way up to New York.
I don't think they wind up in LA because we already had insane motherfuckers here.
Yeah, we still do.
You don't need any extra fucks being imported.
Right.
Right?
But, you know, you know the deal.
Oh, yeah.
The Marialitos go through and the Mariel boat...
What the fuck was the...
It was a bay in Cuba.
The Mariel Bay.
Uh-huh.
And they called them Los Marialitos.
It was like they just...
Fidel just released all of the prisoners from insane, you know, insane...
Whatever the hell.
Yeah, everybody.
All the bad guys from the prison.
There was some good guys that came over.
I know a bunch of them, man.
Some good guys?
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
I'm sure.
Some good guys.
I'm sure.
I think it was like three.
Yeah.
Three of them.
Three of them.
I know all three of them.
Got it.
Yeah.
Last name's Fernandez.
Okay.
All right.
So you were born in the Bronx too, right?
I was born in Manhattan.
In Manhattan?
Oh, you can't fancy me now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was born in Manhattan, but I grew up in the projects.
Uh-huh.
My family had moved to the 70s, which is fancy.
The 70s is fancy.
But they had low-income housing, so, you know, Section 8.
So you could, if you were, you know, a minority, you could apply for, you know, rent stabilization, rent control apartments.
Right.
You know, by law, certain buildings had to offer at least one or two apartments.
So my grandmother and my mom, they had apartments in some tenements in the 70s.
So I was born in a New York hospital in the 60s, something.
But I still have an apartment on 100th Street in El Barrio.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're cheap, man.
My cousin, he's in Florida.
He still has his apartment.
I think it pays like $300.
Well, my apartment was not $300.
It was about $610 for about, like, 10 years.
I mean, I've had the apartment for $20.
Nice.
Yeah.
So right now, it's up to a G.
But shit, a three-bedroom apartment in New York for a G?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nice.
Three bedrooms?
That's unheard of.
Yeah.
They're not huge bedrooms.
They're not fucking huge.
But, you know, back then, you know, people didn't have a lot of shit in their fucking bedroom.
You had a bed, three drawers, you know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
Some shirts that you hung up.
Now people got 50 million fucking things that they, you need, like, a mini mansion.
Right?
Yeah.
If you're a woman, you need a mini mansion.
If you're a guy, you got fucking 50 pairs of shoes, you know?
Anyway, back then, it was pretty simple.
So, what else?
So, you were in the Marines.
Yeah, yeah.
Paris Island?
No, actually, I was a Hollywood Marine.
I was out here at Camp Pendleton.
Camp Pendleton, okay.
Yeah.
That's north.
No?
Right here, San Diego.
Oh, San Diego, San Diego.
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, what's that military base up past San Francisco, up that way?
The only base I know out there was a prison, Alcatraz, but.
What?
No, it's not Alcatraz.
No, there's another base.
There's another base.
There's another base.
There's another base.
There's another base.
There's another base.
There's another base.
There's another base.
There's another base.
It doesn't matter.
What the fuck is it?
Como?
Yuba City?
No.
No, it's further north.
It's further north.
So, I was out here at Camp Pendleton.
You know, I was out here during the war.
So, that's where you were already out here.
Got it.
And, you know, but again, you know, the whole repo thing, man, it was something that I was good at.
It was exciting.
It was exhilarating.
And, you know, I was going to go LAPD.
When I got out of the Corps, I started going through LAPD, but I was making more money as a repossessor first year than I would, you know, the first five years being a cop.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
So, that's the road that I took, man, and it actually worked out for me.
So, okay.
All right.
And so, how did you get to, like, back then?
I mean, I guess, what year was that?
What year was Operacion Repo?
We aired our first episode October 2006.
Okay.
So, the reality TV arena had already been in play for a few years, like maybe two or three years.
Yeah?
Maybe two?
You know what?
Big Brother was one of the shows that had come out on network TV.
Yeah, that's right.
Big Brother.
Big Brother.
And it must have been about two.
Two or three years, something like that.
I think we were actually the, I think if not the first, but one of the first in Spanish.
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
Yeah.
Well, there's Secretos also.
I was on that show.
Secretos.
Secretos?
Yeah.
Secretos.
You was on the show?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was on the show.
My wife busts through the door.
She catches me kissing a fucking young chick, and she's like, puñeta, pero que carajo lo que te estoy diciendo, coño?
And she starts, she's Dominican, too.
She just gets all in my face, and I'm like- Bro, how many times you been married?
Well, this is a- This is a- It's your real wife.
No, no.
This is a- A reenactment.
Show.
I want to see it.
You got to post the link.
Yeah, I'll show it to you.
I'll show it to you.
It's actually on my Facebook page.
It's hilarious.
I swear to God.
It is fucking hilarious.
I cut it down to the setup and the meat and the punch.
I just said, it's fucking hilarious.
It's all Spanish cheaters.
It's Spanish cheaters, exactly.
It's Spanish cheaters.
So, yeah.
No, so all those things are, for the most part, they're not scripted.
You know what I mean?
So, you go in there and they give you a situation.
That's it.
And then- And you improvise.
This is what's happening and you improvise.
And when it's good, it's good.
That's right.
You know what I mean?
And when you're given a good situation, it's really good.
Yeah, the woman who played my wife, she nailed that shit.
I nominated her for a Dominican Oscar.
Wow.
You know what I mean?
The Golden Plotano.
I fucking said, yo.
The Golden Plotano.
That sounds good right now.
I fucking- Plotano Maduro de Oro.
I fucking, yeah.
I fucking nominated her for that shit.
She was amazing.
All right.
So, okay.
So, my thing about Operacion Repo is how did you sell that show?
So, how do you go from actually being a Repo guy in real life to getting somebody to hear you at Telemundo?
Well, the way it started, I got a call from this lady named Maria Garcia.
She was a news anchor at Telemundo.
You got a call from her?
Yeah, I got a call from her.
She wanted to do a day in the life of a Repo man.
Ah.
So, I'm like, all right, no problem.
I said, my son.
Spanish isn't that good, but she didn't care.
So, we went out for two days.
Then when she aired the segment, everywhere I went within the Latino community, everybody's like, hey, you're a Repo guy.
Yeah.
You know, so it was good.
So, that year I did five other segments.
So, I was their go-to guy about cars, Repo in cars, stealing cars.
For her.
For her, yeah.
For Telemundo.
So, there was different producers that were calling me.
So, I'm like, man, I've been filming Repos for insurance and people was lying, you know, trying to get me in trouble with the cops.
So, I had a little hidden camera.
So, I was recording all this stuff.
And then I got a couple cats that weren't going to the same church that I was going to that were in film school.
Church.
That's right.
Iglesia homeboy.
I'm going to have to take you one of these days.
Iglesia.
Iglesia.
So, you could take me.
I'm Catholic.
I'm 100%.
Oh, you'll have a blast.
Continue.
So, anyways, we did this pilot.
I showed it to Maria.
You know, a little scissor roll.
She goes, wow, I've never seen anything like this.
You need to show it to the program director.
So, I showed it to the program director, which in two weeks.
Within two weeks of her seeing it, she bought the show.
And it was a hit, bro.
Operacion Repo in Spanish was killing Univision.
I know.
On the ratings at that time slot.
And nobody beats Univision.
I know, dude.
Trust me.
I know.
It was awesome, man.
I didn't know at the time when we met.
We just hit it off.
And then I'll segue into stand-up.
Because around that time, I hadn't seen you in a while.
Right.
And then I saw you at the.
At this diner in Burbank.
Uh-huh.
And you were like, yo, bro, I'm doing stand-up and shit.
And I was like, rah, all right.
And so, you got into stand-up from there.
I was forced into stand-up, man.
How did that happen?
I got a good friend of mine.
You know him, too.
He's a comedian, Gilbert Esquivel.
Yes, I do.
I know Gilbert.
He does East Side Comedy and old school dance shows.
Yes.
Nice guy.
So, we're at one of the shows, right?
Big sponsors.
J.B.
Roofing was one of their sponsors.
It was great.
So, he's like, hey, bro, go up there and do stand-up.
I go, I don't know.
Any jokes?
He goes, just people don't care.
They don't care if you're funny or not.
They want to see a celebrity up there.
I'm like, well, shit, I'm not a celebrity.
They definitely don't want to see me up there.
He's like, no, no, go up there.
Go up there.
So, I went up there, and I was talking about a physical that I had.
Oh, like a colonoscopy type thing?
Yeah, you know when they grab your nuts and they shake them for you?
Uh-huh.
And they make you cough and stuff?
Uh-huh.
And I was telling them how I was getting physical.
They make you cough?
And I was scared.
See New York school, they make you cough.
Yeah, they make you cough, right?
They make you cough.
So, that's the Mexican in me.
So, and my biggest thing in my mind at the time was when I was getting physical, is this going to hurt, or am I going to like it?
Right?
And what was the verdict?
Well, the verdict was that's what I said on stage.
So, when I got off stage, that was the first and last time I told that joke.
I'll tell you why.
Because all the girls were coming up to me, and they were grabbing my nuts.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah, and it's like, and I never said that joke again.
So, that's how I started.
Oh, because your girlfriend was like, yo, dude.
Dude, the nut joke's got to stop.
Yeah, that was the first and last time I said it, man.
But it was interesting.
Okay.
All right.
So, that's how I started stand up.
Okay.
And then from there, you know, I've done, you know, guest appearances with a lot of different comics, you know.
Yes.
Hey, come hang out with us, man.
Hey, you want to do a set?
So, how do you know Gilbert?
You and him kind of grew up together?
You went to high school?
No, I met Gilbert through his brother, Rudy Esquivel.
Okay.
He was my best friend.
Okay.
So, that's how I met him.
Got it.
Well, you know, it seems to me like...
You have one of these stories, and I'll go into it.
You have one of these stories where, like, one thing leads to something else and something else and something else.
And doors open up, yeah.
And doors open up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How do you account for that?
Like, what's your reasoning for it?
You mentioned church.
Do you believe it's, you know, divine, you know, God's will, if you will?
Yeah, I can tell you I believe that.
I believe that there's a plan for me.
Yeah.
And I've been in so many different situations where I shouldn't be here.
Yes.
Me too.
Yeah.
So, you know what I'm talking about.
And it's my belief that's how I was raised.
And I believe if you're a good person, you know, your heart is good, good things are going to happen to you.
You help other people.
Yes.
People are going to help you.
Yes.
And you're that type of guy.
Right.
I know you're the type of guy.
You have a big heart.
I know that.
So, yeah.
So, that's cool.
But, I mean, the reason I asked you that is because, and I'm going to jump all over the places, because I remember, I haven't seen you in a long time.
And then I read, obviously, everything on the internet or whatever, just to get stories, ideas.
Whatever.
But I saw that situation where, you know, like you were on TMZ.
Oh, yeah.
And let me see if I can read it.
It says, famous Operation Repo star nabs car chase suspect.
You're welcome, cops.
So, basically, that's what it says.
So, you know what?
Let me play this little clip, because that shit is hilarious, dude.
Hold on a second.
That was crazy.
Let me play this, and then I'm going to talk to you about that.
Let me see if this happens.
Si se puede.
Si se puede.
Si se puede.
Vamos a ver.
Introducing Fast Foods First, all natural burgers.
Hold on.
We're going to wait.
You're really going to skip through that commercial?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Next time, huh?
Yeah.
It's actually a fucking Burger King commercial.
And I'll tell you a Burger King story.
I used to work at Burger King when I was in high school.
Oh, my God.
Tell me what's in that chicken sandwich.
Okay, here we go.
Here we go.
Another car.
The suspect then gets out with a skateboard.
And tries to make a run for it.
It all started when police tried to pull over the driver of a stolen BMW.
The car crashed into traffic, as you can see.
The suspect then led officers on a foot chase, running from the scene of the accident with his skateboard.
The driver of a red pickup truck tried to stop the man, actually cutting him off near a building.
The driver of the big pickup truck.
I've seen exactly what happened.
I've seen the guy running with a skateboard in his hand.
And he's running from the cops.
They're, like, right on him.
There's, I don't know, about six or seven cops.
And, you know.
He got on the skateboard and he started moving.
And it was just instinct.
Just to, you know, block the guy off and, you know, slow him down a little bit.
That's all I could do.
Yeah, he did get on that skateboard for a little while.
Police took the suspect into custody.
He did not appear to be injured.
No officers were hurt in this chase.
Fucking Lou Pizzaro.
So, yeah, that was a crazy story, man.
Luckily, I was at the right place at the wrong time.
Because it could have been reversed, you know.
Well, this is what I'm saying.
There's been an outbreak.
Or an outbreak of carjackings.
Not carjackings.
High-speed pursuits.
Yeah.
Just in the past fucking, like, three weeks.
Yeah.
The past week.
Every time one comes up, people are texting me, sending me on Facebook.
Where you at?
There's a high-speed pursuit.
No, no, no.
But in the past couple of weeks, I mean, you'll be having.
I'll be having eggs in a diner.
Boom.
Some guy is, like, chasing.
Yeah.
And these guys, what a lot of people may not realize out here in L.A.
Is that the freeways are, like, five or six lanes.
Yeah.
And so, a car.
You know, you get carjacked.
These guys get on the freeway.
And they, you know, they go crazy.
And they bang into one car.
Bang into another car.
And a lot of times, you ain't going to.
Eventually, you're going to come to a halt.
Because traffic is intense.
Which is what happened to this cat.
He leaves his car there.
And he gets out of the car.
He has a skateboard.
Very, very, very.
Latino.
Very resourceful.
Was he Latino?
Yeah.
Very resourceful.
He was a punkster Latino.
He had a skateboard.
Just in case.
So, he gets out.
He runs.
He gets on his skateboard.
And then you see you kind of, like, driving alongside him as he's riding his skateboard.
Kind of, like, pushing him without getting close to him.
Kind of, like, forcing him.
I was blocking him.
You were blocking him from moving his skateboard.
Yeah.
And then, eventually, he gets by.
And you cut him off.
And the cops come.
And they get him.
But one of the things.
When he actually ran toward.
When he was running with his skateboard.
He was trying to run in front of the truck.
And I gave him some gas.
You know, that way he couldn't pass me up.
Just to slow him down.
Right.
My windows rolled down.
He looks at me.
And he screams at me.
He screams at me.
He's like, muévete, pendejo.
That was hilarious.
Hilarious.
He said, muévete, pendejo, you motherfucker, y'all.
So, I'm watching him.
I'm watching him.
Right.
He has to run behind the truck now.
So, that's when I'm kind of, like, timing him.
I'm watching him.
And that's when I pinned him to the gate.
I blocked him.
The cops took him down.
You got a big truck, too.
Yeah.
It's a huge truck, man.
So, that's kind of ballsy, though.
Seriously.
Because.
Because.
My man could have had.
My man could have had some.
You know.
Some.
Some.
Some weapons, right?
Right.
He could have had a cañon in his ass, right?
A machete, right?
A machete or something, right?
But you know what?
You don't think about it.
I know you don't.
And here was the thing.
Right.
When I seen this.
Let me go back a little bit.
I was there in that truck because the truck needed to get a smog.
I was running around town.
I was at J.B.
Ho's.
So, I had to pick up my girl from the flyaway.
That's why I was down there.
This is on Van Nuys, right?
Van Nuys.
Yeah.
So, that's the only reason I was there.
So, I'm at the light.
I see a helicopter.
Of course.
It's 50 million helicopters in LA.
And it's like, okay, wow.
You know, it's like, but it was low to the ground.
I go, this guy's going to crash.
Wow.
So, I really thought, Tonya, that this cat was going to crash.
I'm like, oh, my gosh.
Then I see the cop car is chasing a car and I'm watching him.
I'm still at the light.
I see this Bandejo coming through traffic.
Repo instant kicks in.
Still, I wasn't going to do nothing.
He crashes into a car.
But still, you're thinking.
Yeah.
And while I go, he crashed into a car.
I go, oh, they got him now.
Then, when he opens the door.
And he starts running.
That's when I said, oh, no.
Not on my watch.
This fool just hit some lady.
And he's going to run from the scene of a crime.
How many people hit, kill somebody and they leave?
They go to Mexico, whatever.
Good for you, bro.
So, that's what I was thinking.
And that's why I stopped him.
Then, you know, once the cops did the investigation.
I never got out of the truck.
Right.
I stayed in the truck.
I didn't want this cat to see who I was.
I didn't want anybody to know who I was.
And then, Tonya's calling me.
The phone's going off the hook.
Right.
I'm like, okay, you know, like, what's going on?
So.
So, then they let me go.
So, I'm pulling down the street.
Cool.
Nobody knows who I am.
The cops let you go.
Yeah.
Because they want to know who you were.
Like, if you were involved with him or whatever.
Yeah.
No, they knew who I was when they first seen me.
They go, the repo guy?
They go, who?
So, they're smoking and joking.
And they're all laughing.
The repo guy caught this guy, you know?
Not you.
You dumb fucking LAPD mama voival.
So, I leave, right?
I'm taking off.
I'm like, cool.
All of a sudden, the girl from Channel 7 News.
Man, she got some cojones, bro.
She runs across.
She jumps in front of the truck with the camera guy, bro.
And I had to lock up the brakes.
And I almost hit him.
I'm like.
And then.
Well, she's smart.
Yeah.
They're holding me in the window.
She goes, can we interview you?
And I'm like, I'm not a cop.
The cops are in the back.
She goes, oh, no, no, no.
You're the good Samaritan.
I'm thinking to myself, the good what?
Yeah.
That's what they got you.
They got Lou Pizarro, Operation Repo Man, Good Samaritan.
That's what they got you.
So, she starts, you know, can you give me the name?
And I'm like, man, I didn't want to give him my name, right?
And I'm like, yeah, we had the camera.
Could you give him your name?
Is that what they wanted?
Yeah.
I go, I'm Lou Pizarro.
And I just told him real quick what happened.
I was gone.
Yeah.
She's blowing up my phone.
She goes, dude, you're on TV right now.
Oh, so he was on TV.
It was the helicopter was recording the whole thing.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because the one I saw.
The one I saw.
The one thing about.
I didn't know that.
The one thing about helicopters here is that you're on the street.
You're on the ground.
You really don't have a concept of what they can see.
And how far they are.
They can see every fuck.
But they can see everything.
They can see miles out.
Right.
You know what I mean?
So you don't realize this shit.
So these criminals, man, like if you get one of those helicopters, like you said, flying low, you know, about the height, like five stories high, you know, you'll pursue the guy.
Like, did you ever see the YouTube footage on the North Hollywood heist?
Yeah, the shootout.
The shootout?
Yeah, absolutely.
Isn't that amazing, dude?
Yeah, it's insane.
That's insane.
So it's just like a step by step.
And yeah, the suspect is getting out.
Right.
And he's shooting at the locksmith across the street.
And it's just like a point by point of what's going on.
My thing was I didn't know that the helicopter was filming.
So she told me, she goes, you're all over the news.
Yes.
That's how the lady knew to jump in front of my truck.
You know, they were following you and shit.
The camera was following you from above.
So then it went crazy, man.
Just everyone, all the news, all over the world, man.
London, everybody was calling me about it.
By the next morning, it broke on Good Morning America.
Did it really?
Yeah.
Good Morning America.
Wow.
Wow.
That was crazy, man.
That's because fucking Good Morning America don't got shit, nothing else to report.
And it's still going, man.
So they kind of get like L.A.
carjacking stuff.
It's still going, brother.
Good for you, man.
They're still calling me.
That's good for you.
That's good for you.
Yeah, until this guy gets out of jail and I got to deal with his ass.
So what was his deal?
Who is he?
He was just some knucklehead that was still in the car.
He stole a BMW.
You know, the cops, you know, I don't care.
You're going to steal a car?
That's your business.
That's what I do for a living.
I don't care.
I don't care.
It was when you hit this lady and then you try to leave the scene of the crime.
Right, right, right.
Bandejo, that's what you get.
Right, right.
You know, so it could have been my mom, my sister, yours.
No, exactly.
No, exactly, dude.
Exactly.
And you know what?
I think that was honorable what you did.
And I appreciate it for everybody else that could be in a situation like that and doesn't have someone like you that's going to do that.
Thank you, man.
I'm just glad he wasn't related to me.
That's all.
That would have been a problem.
I mean, no, no, I'm serious.
All jokes aside.
I mean, you know, when you say...
You know, you weren't thinking.
That just kicks in.
Right.
I get it.
You know what I mean?
But even then, you know, it's kind of crazy, but you're not thinking about it.
You know what was crazy is that when she called me on the phone and she was telling me, like, everything that happened was like a movie when she was talking, like, this...
I'm like, like, all this is going on?
It was, like, crazy, man.
Right, right.
So props to Tanya for that.
So where is...
I mean, I noticed that you just...
What's the deal with Monday Night at the Laugh Factory?
So you got a new show.
Are you doing the Latino show now?
Yeah, I'm doing...
You're producing the Latino show?
Yep, I'm starting there.
Who was doing it before you?
I think it was Cisco.
Okay.
Because I've been out of the loop.
I know Benny was doing it.
Yeah, Benny Mena.
Joey Medina.
Then Cisco.
So Cisco had been doing it up until this time?
I think so.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It wasn't...
It was this other dude.
Rene Garcia?
No.
Robert Zapata?
No, Santana.
Sebastian Santana.
Sebastian.
Sebastian, okay.
Sebastian was doing it.
So we're doing a little something different now.
We're calling it the Laugh Factory.
So, you know, we're going with the Spanglish thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, you know, and that's what I'm known for, Spanglish.
Yes.
You know, with the show.
Because you don't speak...
You're not fluent in Spanish.
Right.
Yeah, I got to...
Yeah, I mix it up.
Listen, what I want to tell you is that things aren't that good.
I didn't do it.
I didn't do it.
It was an old song.
I have been at Free Pancakes this night.
I liked it today.
Yeah.
I get it.
That's a Nuyorican shit.
Yeah.
So Spanglish?
We're doing, you know, radio shows.
We're doing the, you know, Channel 5, Channel 2, Channel 7.
You know, we're doing a big promotion.
For this?
For this, yeah.
Oh, good for you, dude.
So, and I'll be doing the Laugh Factory in Vegas as well.
I'll be up there hosting.
Okay.
So, you know, I'm not going to be a stand-up comedy, you know, comedian per se.
So your thing is not like, you're not pursuing a stand-up comedy career.
You just, you've been producing a lot of comedy shows.
Yeah.
Nice.
And producing, you know, just, you know, an entertainer is what I am.
Nice.
I get it.
I get it.
Well, you got your hands in a lot of stuff.
I mean, I was looking, like I said, I haven't seen you in a while.
Like, Fuitivos de la Ley, that's another one of your shows?
That's another show that I do.
It's done 51-hour episodes.
It's the number one requested show on Mundos, which is now, they just rebranded to NBC Universo.
Okay.
Because NBC Universo owns that, Mundos.
And now they're sinking more money into the new rebrand, to the new network.
So that's Fugitives of the Law in Spanish.
Fuitivos de la Ley.
Fuitivos de la Ley.
Fugitives of the Law.
So that's going to happen with another show that you're going to put in English.
Yeah, exactly.
We've already done the pilot.
I'm going to ask you questions in Spanish and you're going to answer in English.
Okay.
So we'll do Spanglish.
Okay.
Well, go on.
Of course.
So what I'm doing is that I already did an English pilot.
And we're going to continue, brother.
So the pilot you're doing in English, what network is it going to be for?
I don't know yet.
I'm not sure, brother.
You don't know?
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
You're doing it.
You're doing it.
You're recording it.
It's already recorded and it's already done.
To produce and to teach it to the executives to sell it.
Exactly.
You got it.
Got it.
Exactly.
All right.
So she actually did an episode of Futivos de la Ley.
What?
Was she a fugitive?
Yeah.
She played a fugitive.
Do I answer in Spanish or English?
English.
Whatever you want to name it.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I was a fugitive.
Really?
Yeah.
A few times, actually.
Nice.
But I dressed it up so I look like a different person.
Of course.
Don't tell them about your real life.
We're talking about the show.
Yeah.
The show.
Yeah, it comes with free bail money.
Nice.
So, yeah, so I was asking Lou if you didn't gather that he's putting, how did he get to package this show?
He's obviously going to be working on, or he's working on trying to sell the English version of it.
Right.
So that's awesome, man.
So, and also, so now you have a movie.
So you do, what are you, how many of these reality shows do you have?
Obviously, Operation Repo, Operacion Repo, Fuitivo de la Ley.
What else do you have?
I got another, I got a tattoo show called Dame Tinta.
Dame Tinta.
Dame Tinta.
You know what that sounds like?
That sounds like a fucking prostitute show.
Dame Tinta.
Some of them might be.
Mira, papi, Dame Tinta, coño.
I did 112 episodes of that, half hour episodes.
Tinta means ink.
Ink, that's right.
Dame, give me.
Dame means give me.
Dame Tinta.
So this show was picked up and it's aired somewhere?
This thing aired all over.
Yeah.
Really?
This was picked up on, I produced it for Telemundo, aired there.
Then I sold the acquisition shows to Mundos, aired on Mundos.
And now I'm in syndication with that right now through Central America.
Dude.
So.
Dame Tinta.
Yeah.
It's a good show, man.
You got to check it.
You guys Google it, Dame Tinta.
Dame, D-A-M-E-T-I-N-T-A.
You got it.
Dame Space Tinta.
Okay.
And you're going to see a lot of people you probably know.
Where can I watch that show?
Like I Google it, what is it, on YouTube?
Yeah, you can watch it on YouTube.
You can watch it anywhere you want.
I'll check out.
I'll check one of those out.
I didn't know that that was a show that you were doing.
Yeah, I got another one called Cazadores y la Noticia.
Cazadores y la Noticia?
De la Noticia.
Oh, de la Noticia.
News Hunters.
Okay.
So kind of a la Nightcrawler.
Exactly.
Which was a fucking brilliant movie.
This guy is a great actor.
If you haven't seen the movie.
Oh my Lord.
Dude.
Really?
Dude.
Let me tell you something.
My wife and I are watching this movie.
This is my third wife.
Okay.
My real one.
The real one.
Damn.
The real one.
I'm 22 años.
Wow.
The real one.
Okay.
So we're watching this movie in Palm Springs.
There's no one in the theater the way I love it.
So there's no interruptions.
And I'm just fucking engulfed in the big screen.
Yeah.
The scene towards the end where the kid, you realize that he set this poor guy up in the donut shop.
Oh, the Chinese restaurant, right?
The Chinese restaurant.
Dude, I was like in my seat.
I was like, this is fucked up.
I was ready to leave.
I was.
It got me so riled up.
I couldn't believe that.
That's how amazing and truthful and brilliant not only was the script, but the performances.
Yeah.
I thought it was great, man.
I thought so too.
And I was kind of like.
Yeah.
The tap to lose sins.
The guy was going to snitch on him.
Dude.
Snitches get stitches.
But I was shocked that that movie got no love.
None.
I mean, it won an independent spirit award for best screenplay, I believe.
But that's it.
Bad timing.
I guess.
But I mean, there weren't them.
But you're absolutely.
You're probably right.
But I mean, the movies that came out this past year, none of them were great.
No.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean.
Well, you know, I got mixed feelings about all the movies that came out this year.
But I'm a movie fan.
I'm a movie critic.
I watch movies every day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
On the way over here, I was watching Godzilla again.
It's a great movie.
On the way here in your big movie theater truck.
In my car while I was driving.
Yeah.
But you guys don't drive and watch movies.
Luke can do that because he can eat a burger.
He's a professional.
He's a professional.
He's a professional.
He's a professional.
He's a professional.
I'm bad with names.
So the movie that.
I got a couple movies coming out.
Well, what was the fucking name of the movie that won the.
I didn't watch the Academy Awards, by the way.
Oh, Birdman.
Birdman.
Yeah.
So, but I was at the DGA Awards and I was sitting right across from that director.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
In Yaru.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
I saw the movie.
I actually saw the movie twice.
I don't watch movies twice.
But the first time I was kind of like, you know, not 100% on it.
So I said, let me watch it again.
Right.
And the movie was good.
Right.
It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen.
Right.
Yeah.
As far as a fantasy goes and, you know, an artist's journey.
Yeah.
You know, where an artist has been beat down and is just trying to find himself again.
And all the poetry that's involved in that.
It was interesting.
But I didn't think it was.
It wasn't.
It wasn't that great of a movie.
Yeah.
I liked it because of how they did it and what they went through.
Yeah.
It was interesting how they did it.
One shot.
Yeah.
Like one unedited.
Uh.
A shot, so to speak.
And one of the things, there was a lot of people talking about it, about the director that, you know, it's like he's.
He's Mexican and he shouldn't have won and stuff like that.
And not, no, not that necessarily that his whole cast was, was predominantly Caucasian.
So that's, that's one of the things that's been happening.
I don't know if you knew that.
Um, what?
That people are talking about that?
Yeah.
That if he's a Latino director, you should have Latino.
You know, let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
I have a problem.
Right.
With people always assuming.
Right.
Right.
That like, for instance, you're my boy.
Right.
And like, you're supposed to give me something.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
Uh, Jerry Seinfeld said something one time that I thought was interesting.
I'm not a huge fan of Jerry Seinfeld.
Right.
But I got mad respect for that dude.
Okay.
Cause he's professional and you know, you can't argue with that.
Right.
Yeah.
But somebody said, you know, you do this new show.
What was it?
Uh, driving in cars with getting coffee with comedians or whatever.
Yeah.
And, and somebody said, you never have anybody just but white people or whatever.
Uh huh.
And he said.
He said, I'm a comedian.
My show is about comedians.
I don't care about white, black or yellow or what color.
Right.
As long as you're a funny comedian, that's what you're going to be on my show.
And I, I get people who are funny that I know.
I'm not just going to go out and start looking for comedians that are non-white just so that I can, you know, be part of some, you know, ethnic diversity program.
Right.
And you know what?
Sure.
I agree.
I agree.
It's like, well, why is it this dude's responsibility to like?
Hire all Latinos and stuff like that.
That's exactly right.
And that's the same flack that I get.
I just the opposite.
I get just the opposite.
I understand what he's saying, but this is what they've been talking about.
And somebody was telling me, go look, man, the guy's a director.
He's doing his job.
He did it.
You know, who knows?
He's, he's not the guy that's telling who he's going to hire.
I mean, it's casting directors, executive producers involved.
The script is a script, dude.
Yeah.
There's so much different, you know, Stephen.
Yeah.
Well, the script is a script.
You know, I mean, you know, my wife's a director.
Okay.
He directs TV.
Okay.
TV.
Okay.
I'm not talking about, she directs The Good Wife, Law and Order, blah, blah, blah.
One hour episodic drama, right?
People go, yo, your wife's a director, man.
Don't she put you on shows?
First of all, you can't just put somebody in a show.
That's right.
Second of all, if the script is written a certain way, you know, I have, I have a certain, a certain accent from New York.
I have a certain look.
You know what I mean?
TV is neutral.
It's boring.
It's white for the most part.
That's what it is.
Regular television.
It's neutral.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
If you got a black guy or a black woman, they're neutral, right?
They're very passable, friendly.
They're not like extreme characters one way or the other.
Right.
Otherwise, you know, it's, it's, it's too much, but you can't just hire someone or give somebody a part.
It doesn't work that way.
Right.
For the most part, it doesn't, but sometimes I'm able to do that.
Well, sometimes, but I'm sure you got 50 million people up your ass trying to, you know.
But I got a good excuse now, man.
I go, look, I got 20 family members in line, bro, asking me every day.
Something comes up, I'll let you know.
Right.
Because, you know, I got...
I got friends that are directors that are on big shows right now.
You know, and it's like, but I won't call them, hey, give me a part.
Of course.
You know, it's just...
Of course.
Yeah.
If it's meant to be, it'll be.
Exactly.
It's like, you know.
Yeah.
Okay.
Like the wife, she directs something.
I'm like, listen, your job is not to cast.
Your job is to direct the show.
There's a casting director.
That's right.
So any of my acting friends or any of your acting friends email you or text them, tell them you're not a casting director.
Straight up.
That's right.
Okay.
Your job is to bring to life the words on the script.
That's it.
Casting director, that's their decision.
And that's the network's decision.
And it's fucked up, but it is what it is.
You know, the other debate is, is there enough diversity in television and film?
That's another thing.
And that's another question.
And the answer is no.
There's a new report that even 2015 Hollywood, whatever the fuck that means, still is not representative of the actual demographics of people.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.

So in other words, diversity, ethnic diversity in America has grown immensely.
Right.
So you got 50 million more ethnicities and ethnic diverse, you know, diverse groups in America now than you did 10, 20, 50, you know, 30 years ago.
But yet Hollywood is still, you know, way back, back then.
But that's not, you know, it's.
You know what, Tonya, what do you think about that?
As far as what?
The diversity?
Yeah.
And well, there's a lot of Salvadorians.
I was just talking about down the street but as far as as far as TV and diversity there I think for the most part everyone's trying but I think at the top level the top top top level top 500 when you look at IMDB it really is a lot of white people look at the top 100 on IMDB is it fair?
is it representative of the demographic and the various ethnicities?
No it isn't but here unfortunately what's going on is that they're selling they're selling a product they're selling content so that they can get ad dollars to support the content so ad dollars when you have ads you need to target a specific demographic when you have ethnically ambiguous people I shouldn't say ethnically ambiguous because that's neutral but you have ethnic like for instance I may look Italian or whatever right you have more indigenous features right but I wouldn't be able to guess that you were Colombian in a million fucking years right there's Colombian that are white with blonde hair you know there's Puerto Ricans that are white Dominicans it's very difficult to you know capsulate especially Latin American culture so what do I look like?
well Mexico?
no no no no no no no I mean I mean I don't know what to say what you look like I mean I don't know what to say with shit I just said you have indigenous he just called me an India no no no no I said you have indigenous features you do yeah I mean I'm actually Chinese Colombian and Black Colombian well there you go Chinese and Black Colombian tell that to a casting director they'll be like okay next they'll be like she's Mexican well yeah you're better off saying you're Mexican yeah so Chinese my mom is from Mexico my dad's Chinese Colombian my dad's Black Colombian there you go but we don't really talk about that last part Chino Colombiano yeah Chino Colombiana Chino Colombiana which is interesting so the Chinese immigrated to different countries to avoid some communist shit that was going on in their country at a certain time what happened was is that the Chinese wanted to come to California for the gold rush so there was a bunch of Peruvians up there and they were like hey Luis Estrada told me this story Lou actually is how it happened and what they paid these Peruvians money to be taken to California but instead the Peruvians gypped them and dropped them off in Peru so all these Chinese people were in Peru and then from there they spread it if you notice there's a lot of Chinese based food in Peru that's why the food is like that yes well I mean in Cuba too there's a whole fucking barrio Chino but it's different that's an interesting thing I didn't know that you know that's interesting oh te voy a joder el coño te voy a cojer todo you ever see Chinese dude speak Spanish it's the fucking truth que boca tu quiere que boca tu quiere comer que boca tu quiere comer oye pero no mejora na no mejora na coño que boca tu quiere comer salsa soy sauce I'm gonna have to write that character into one of my scripts man that is hysterical in New York they got Chinese Cuban restaurants the best I got a script that we're working on right now it's called Hooked on Lou and it's a comedy script you know it's a scripted series yeah apart from me?
is that what you're trying to say?
dude if you can do that action we'll audition you I can do whatever you want bro but actually actually actually you know I just executive produced our second film my wife and I's second film we have a page for those of you out there that don't know it's called Silver Skies the movie it's about an over 55 apartment complex that you know obviously what's going on it gets bought out and everyone's got to leave we got George Hamilton Barbara Bain Valerie Perrine you know we got some old school actors and you know I executive produced that we did it so I'm behind the scenes as well producing stuff which goes to A Father's Journey yeah tell me about that A Father's Journey it's based on a true story it's a film that we got coming out for Father's Day the actual lead on it David Fernandez Jr. is also the director and guys come up with a great idea great movie Joey Medina's in it Myra Liao's in it and a bunch of other great actors and they approached me you know to come aboard that's pretty good you put Joey Medina in it in a bunch of and a bunch of great actors yeah that's good Joey's awesome dude Joey's good I know I got Joey a fucking part in his first horror film oh really yeah nice he gets his cock cut off oh ouch oh you gotta send me that footage it's called On Bloody Sunday I gotta look for it wait a minute this girl just finished kissing Joey Medina the other day for something me and Joey did a scene for the Cringe Chronicles we played a couple in a waiting room the Cringe what is that Cringe Chronicles imagine what did I play a Dominican or a Puerto Rican girl like in the waiting room and like you know I know that he's been cheating on me so you know how Puerto Rican girls get up I gotta show you secreto so you can like get it down so you can get to sit down I have it over here you know the father's journey again is based on a true story and it's actually David's family member that went through this that he actually got killed and it was interesting his father got killed no it was his cousin so what's the story what's the synopsis so basically what it is it's just it's a road trip movie it's a movie it's a movie okay and it's if you like the sixth sense you like that twist you're gonna love this movie and that's how I really want to say till they go out there and they see it but I was happy to be part of it man I came in as executive producer second unit director and I acted Tanya has a role in there as well nice second unit director and you're executive producer so who produced it and who had the script and all that stuff people that you know friends and stuff like that David Fernandez yeah he was so David brought it to you and said listen I got the script I'm interested in doing this then yeah exactly because I have a script that I think you might be interested in also and when I saw that I was like hmm maybe I should it's called Como un hombre Como un hombre Como un hombre yes is that about cannibals no no no no no no no no no no no no or is it a porno no no no no no no es comiendo a un hombre it's Como un hombre like a man it's Spanglish bro I'm thinking Spanglish in my head it's a coming of age story it's very nice he said coming it's a porno yeah coming it's a porno and we're trying to get Mark Mark Anthony to play the father oh that'd be great man yeah so I have access to Mark Anthony oh wow yeah so we just have to have that try to figure that out Como un hombre Mexican kid his father's a musician and you know broken home blah blah interesting stuff we got a few other movies too that have executive produced coming out that were in post production I got one called Let It Bleed which is it's an action kind of like thriller killings and stuff like that and then we have El Vidente we have El Vidente it's about a psychic oh El Vidente El Vidente Vidente is a psychic it's a psychic yeah that's a good one we're in post production on that one so that's a is that like a horror or no it's kind of suspense it's a horror drama suspense but the most interesting part of it is that the movie was shot in both English and Spanish with a bilingual cast nice every scene one right after the other so you have two movies it was a test what I wanted to do is that I wanted to do two and one like they call it a twofer right so what I did one and two and two and one yeah so so we basically had a script in Spanish so if you can read this script in Spanish and it worked I knew you could do it in English right so that's what we did and it was not easy right so but but if you understand it in Spanish you could always translate it put it in your own words in English exactly right got it and coming from Spanglish world I wanted to try that and that's what I did so we got you know we did a Spanish one that we're editing and an English one got it so same result at the end got it so tell me tell me about Repo Radio we got a maybe a minute or so well you know we started Repo Radio just over two years
