Thank you.
Welcome Welcome to the Jake Gallagher program Instagram, inaugural episode at skidrowstudios.com.
I'm here with my lovely co-host, Marie Bollinger.
Hey, how's it going?
What was that?
Hey, how's it going?
Oh, hey.
Hey, how are you doing today, Marie?
I'm good.
I'm good.
Oh.
Busy day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Parking was a real...
Bitch.
Yup.
Yeah.
Pain in the butt.
It always is downtown.
Yeah.
I had to pay three whole dollars.
Dude, screw that.
What is this, 1974?
We got our co-host, Verbi S.
here.
Woo.
Yeah, baby.
Now I can hear.
How was your day, man?
It was cool, man.
Did a lot of stuff.
Went to Torrance.
Torrance?
Yeah.
Did you bicycle to Torrance, dude?
Oh, hell to the nah.
I got to the bus.
You know, I'm not that hardcore.
Verbs has a Facebook page devoted to his calves.
I didn't make that.
That was not of my making.
Did Ashley Woody make that?
Yeah, she did make that, dude.
It was really weird.
It's a little...
It's all good, though.
It's all good, though.
It's all good.
I mean, I'm not going to be like, yo, like my calves on Facebook.
That's not tight.
Like, you know.
Yeah.
We've got Shane Carpenter here.
Hi.
What's up, Shane?
How's it going, Shane?
It's going all right.
Do you have any Oreos lately?
I haven't had any Oreos lately.
But I would like some vanilla Oreos.
Wait, vanilla Oreos?
Oh, they're bomb.
Do they make those with, like, vanilla cookie outsides?
Yes.
Oh, that's lazy.
I'm going to have some of those with BJ Panda.
Preston, what's going on?
What's up?
How you doing?
I'm good, man.
Anything interesting happen to you lately with, I don't know, the opposite gender?
Ooh.
It's very spicy.
You can't talk about that stuff on the air.
It's very spicy.
Yes, that's where you talk about it.
That's where you got to talk about it.
Yeah.
That's where you get burned.
Just change their first and last names.
Yeah, I had some real problems with Hermione Granger last week.
She was all up in my business.
We got Prolific on the beats and...
Prolific.
Swing.
Our first guest of the evening, the illustrious David Marciano is joining us.
What's going on, David?
I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
How are you guys doing?
Phenomenal.
We're all really good right now.
Fantastical.
It was my first time downtown at night.
Really?
Yeah.
Scary, isn't it?
Encounter any crackheads?
No, it was really cool.
It was like I was having flashbacks to 1977 in Manhattan.
Ooh, what happened in 1977 in Manhattan?
Many things happened in 1977 in Manhattan, but I spent three nights on the streets once in a blackout.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.

Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
I got a good story about that when I was five.
Yeah.
So me and my friend, Tony Perasmo, were playing hide-and-seek, right?
And we're down in the basement in these, like, garden apartments, and our neighbor Tommy is looking for us.
So Tony says, all right, listen, when Tommy comes through the door, you stand on this side, I stand on that side, and then we'll just whip it out and pee on him.
And I'm like, um, okay.
So, you know, Tommy came through the door and we peed on him, and I got grounded for, like, three weeks at five years old.
Wow, man.
I was always blamed for the shit that happened in my house.
I had two older brothers, and they always blamed everything on me.
Yeah, I get that.
You're the youngest, you know.
Did you pee on anybody, Amber?
Um, how old are we talking?
Past 21, yes.
The golden shower.
Nothing.
Nothing like it, man.
Nothing like it.
That's amazing.
Marie Bollinger, ladies and gentlemen.
We found out something new.
I mean, we peed on each other in high school when we were taking showers after volleyball.
No big deal.
Just another day.
Just another day.
I pee on my feet every day in the shower.
Yeah.
Why use the restroom for the toilet?
Athletes' feet.
It kills it.
I know, dude.
I pee outside all the time.
Real downtown LA style.
I know.
Yeah, man.
I get three times a day outside.
Wait, wait.
I had to go.
What did you do?
What did you go to Torrance for today?
I forgot.
I was in a Panda Express commercial.
What?
I did voiceover raps and then, like, they recorded my movements.
They gave me a chain.
It was like 12 Gs.
Like, it was this huge star, diamonds, and I had a Miami Heat jersey on and red headband and red wristbands.
And, yeah, me and satire.
It was crazy.
Satire and yourself in a Panda Express commercial.
Yeah, because we're going to be animated as pandas.
I want to see.
Wow.
What?
Yeah, man.
It's random.
It's random.
That's rad.
Yeah.
I met this dude.
I met this dude who does voiceover, and I did a Suzuki one, but they didn't get picked up.
And then he got me in to do this.
We did three sessions, and then I got that day rate thing, and it was great.
Balling right now.
I want to be the voice of a panda.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
What's that?
Kung Fu Panda?
They're probably going to audition for that soon.
Jack Black, huh?
Can be his buddy.
You got a reel for it now.
You can show it to them.
Don't worry.
I like the Beijing beef.
What is that?
The Beijing beef, man.
Oh, oh.
At Panda Express.
Yeah, the Beijing beef.
Yeah, man.
That sounds like a euphemism for something to me.
Hey, now.
Whoa.
Is that the sound of a panda in the room?
Oh, no.
That wasn't me.
Oh.
It's not I.
Shane, how do you feel about pandas?
I like pandas, especially BJ Panda.
He's a great DJ.
Who is that?
Who is that?
He's the guy that DJed that mansion party in Los Feliz that we were at.
He's got long white and black hair like a panda.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Is he chubby?
No.
It's an ironic title.
So, Shane, I was wondering, I don't know if you're able to reveal your secrets, but is there anything good going on this weekend?
Anything?
Uh, yes.
Vimdicta shit.
Aw, do tell.
Too many good things going on this weekend.
I'm on the edge of my seat here.
You're on the edge of your seat.
Well, I just booked a free show at the Satellite with the Vimdicta.
Woo.
That's balling.
What?
Yeah, and Dylan Tree is out in the woods, and then we're getting a third band for midnight.
It's going to be a free show.
Tomorrow, I'm going to go see Twin Sister at the Echo.
That's going to be awesome.
Oh, that will be a fun show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Twin Sister?
Twin Sister.
Yeah, Twin Sister.
I'll be there.
At the Echo?
Yeah.
Shit.
Something's happening on Sunday, but I'm not really sure what it is.
I know about something that's happening on Sunday, but I think it's supposed to remain small, and I wouldn't want to, like, blow it up with all of our listeners.
Aw, come on.
But let's just say it has something to do with football.
I don't, really?
I have no idea.
I thought it was something else.
I think it's some type of bout or something, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big deal.
It's like some large people versus some people that love their country.
Yeah, big clash of the titan thing.
But we have to talk about it in general terms, you know?
Yeah, it's like...
I am not participating on Sunday.
We can't give up the secret about what's happening on Sunday.
No, but, I mean, on Sunday, after I finish verbally SAT tutoring a bunch of children, I will go to a Super Bowl party in which everyone will act like they're not part of it.
So, it's going to be a little bit of a...
So, it's going to be a little bit of a...
Except they don't like the Super Bowl.
That's me.
While smoking a Super Bowl.
Right.
Or, I think they called it a Super...
While eating a Fruit Bowl.
Yeah.
Oh, hey.
By the way, the phone number is 800-893-9562.
That's 800-893-9562.
We're about to do a really important interview with our guest, David Marciano.
And I know that you have questions for a guy that's a series regular on Homeland and a series regular on The Shield.
The Shield.
Yeah.
Great show.
Awesome show.
Did you guys watch the crap out of it?
No, but I've heard you talk about it and it sounds awesome.
Yeah.
There's this one character on The Shield that I wish that I didn't let Alex take my cell phone.
There's this one character on The Shield that tries to install vending machines in the police station and it's played by this guy across the table from us.
Ka-ching, ka-ching.
Is that vodka in that?
No.
Coffee?
No, that would be 365 black tea.
What?
I want what you're drinking.
David, what's the creepiest role you've ever played, David?
The creepiest role I ever played was probably Lorenzo Steelgrave on the CBS hit series Wiseguy.
Wiseguy.
I escaped from an insane asylum in Cephalo, Sicily.
While on the boat to America, I met a man by the name of Lorenzo Steelgrave.
I killed him, took his identity.
When I got off the boat, his uncle Sonny, played by the now deceased Ray Sharkey, picked me up.
I infiltrated his mob family, killed his associates, and raped Ken Wall's girlfriend.
Ooh.
Jeez Louise, man.
Is that fun though?
Hell yeah.
It was so fun.
It was crazy fun.
And the girl who was playing Ken Wall's girlfriend, she was like a Meryl Streep lookalike.
And we were rehearsing, and she's like, hit me.
And I kind of, she goes, no, dude.
Hit me.
Wow.
I mean, like, we were like, yeah.
That's awesome.
It was beyond, it was method all the way.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was cool.
I like that.
That was pretty creepy.
But not really creepy in the sense of, you know, horror creepy or hostile creepy.
Yeah, but it's dark, and you had to really go there.
And he went there.
And that's why he is where he is today.
Did you ever have to give any sexual favors along the way?
I just, I'm curious if that still contains...
You know, I offered, but I didn't have any takers.
I guess it's different for women.
A lot easier.
I think it's easier for women to get.
Sexual favors than it is for a guy.
Hmm.
And you would think some of those casting directors, you know, they would, you know, want a piece of that.
You know what I mean?
Take.
Take it, man.
Take it when you can get it.
Somebody's offering to just take it.
Right.
Just say yes.
Yes.
Thank you.
I think we have our first love connection on the Jake Gallagher program.
I do have to say, this is a eclectic bunch of, this is awesome.
You guys are so good together.
Oh yeah.
And the voices, everything about this is, this says, this says hit to me, man.
Yeah.
And I'm just proud to be here today.
Jake owes me Oreos.
Yeah.
I owe him double stuff.
Two boxes, double stuff.
Dude, those golden, those golden vanilla Oreos are awesome.
I'm skeptical of the vanilla Oreos though.
Don't knock them until you try them.
What was wrong with the chocolate ones?
Nothing.
The vanilla's got something in it.
It ain't broke.
Don't fix it.
Right.
Or this is enough.
Well, you gotta make this a secret.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie.
It's about the color of the cookie.
So I wanna, I wanna be, I wanna be really dorky and ask David about his career some more.
Okay.
Please.
Who's more attractive, Mandy Patinkin or Claire Danes?
Damian Lewis.
Ooh.
Oh, that's that redheaded guy that I keep seeing on the sides of buses, right?
Yeah.
That's in Homeland.
Yeah.
What, what is, what do you find so enthralling about him?
You know, I was, um.
I think underneath his performance is this, um, uneasy disconnect.
You know, he, he, uh, Damian Lewis plays, um, a character who spent eight years, uh, as a POW in the hole and, um, just disconnected from, you know, America and the, in the world and society and humanity.
And when he comes back to America, you know, trying to interact with human beings again, is very odd and difficult.
And he has this underlying, all of his acting is this emotional disconnect.
Yet he has to play the emotion of the scenes.
And it's really quite difficult to do because, you know, as an actor, you play your intention.
If my intention is to get you into bed, Jake Gallagher, right?
As it always is.
It's a very simple intention.
But if I have to underlie that...
But in order for us to have a scene, we need to have some kind of conflict.
R.
Kelly's cameraman.
That's right.
We need some conflict.
So I need to be resistant.
So that's where the acting comes in.
Right, but underneath my performance is really not just to sleep with you.
It's to get Marie jealous.
There you go.
And I am.
This is working.
And this is where the nuance comes in.
Right.
And that's very difficult.
You know where I saw this?
Anybody see the Pope of Greenwich Village?
Eric Roberts.
And the crazy guy, you know, bar fly crazy guy, Mickey Rourke.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
In this scene, Eric Roberts has his thumb cut off.
He's on painkillers, right?
And he's got to come to his friend and beg him to let him into his apartment.
And on the page, it's a small little scene.
But in order to play, you have to play the pain of the thumb.
You have to be playing.
You have to be narked up.
And then you have to play the intention of the scene.
So you have to play three things at once.
And this is when I knew that Eric Roberts was a great actor.
Me too.
You never saw it.
It's true.
I know.
But you did, and you carried that wisdom.
I did.
One of us works more than the other as an actor.
And it's not me.
Is it verbs?
Huh?
Yeah, verbs work today as an actor, man.
No.
No.
Hold it as the panda bear, man.
Day rate, son.
No.
Verbs is so humble.
Three more jobs and maybe I can be a SAG dude.
Who knows?
Actually, I didn't even get anything close to that.
I just got a day rate.
So I asked her out.
Did you get free lunch?
Oh, yeah.
It went down with the lunch, yo.
You don't do that unless you're getting free lunch or breakfast burritos.
Yeah, big time coffee, Starbucks jugs.
That's like real baller shit right there.
You've got something really important to say right now.
Okay, you ready for this?
Speaking of SAG cards.
Yeah.
I got my SAG.
I got my SAG card on the corner of 5th and Hill on February.
So you did blow a guy.
February.
That was the homeless guy.
He wasn't in Hollywood.
He just looked like a guy.
I got my SAG card on February 5th, 1987.
How do you remember that?
On the corner of 5th and Hill, which is only a few blocks from here.
And I went there.
I went there and stood on the corner today.
I think you have a much.
Much better memory than I do.
I know.
I just got mine a couple years ago and I don't remember.
I don't remember.
Yeah.
I just got mine a couple years ago.
I don't remember.
Every city I go to, if I film there, when I go by that location, I have like a reoccurring experience.
All I remember about SAG is that today I had to go to their office and pay them so that I could work.
That's all I know about them.
Isn't that bizarre?
Yeah.
Does that happen to you or do you just keep up on your SAG dues, Marie?
Um, yes.
Yes.
Every time I book something, I have to go pay them like $150 or $300 or whatever.
People call me.
They're like, look, if you don't go pay SAG.
I'm behind on my dues.
Oh, my friend Laura Valdez-Perez used to be a Ricky Works Mickey.
Oh, there's something I wanted to ask you about, dude.
I just think that's really awesome.
Wait, who's Mickey Works bartender?
My friend Laura in Miami.
Oh, nice.
Mickey Works bartender.
I hear he's super nice.
I don't know, Laura.
Is he super nice?
Text or call.
Shit.
Yeah, tell her to call into the show.
Go and ask us about it.
I want somebody to call into this show and I'm not going to put my shirt on until it happens.
Oh, come on.
Please call.
It's 800-893-9562.
Lauren from Miami.
Laura.
Laura from Miami.
I want to hear about Mickey Works bartender or his bartender.
I thought you were going to say package, but.
Ricky Mork.
Ricky Mork.
That's what I said first.
Yeah, I know.
It's awesome.
Ricky Mork.
That could be a bad name.
Yeah.
I think we just came up with a bad name.
I think you're right.
Ricky Mork.
Oh, man.
Someone's got it by now.
David, do you have the inside track on this upcoming SAG after merger I've been hearing so much about?
What do you think about all that?
I don't have the inside track, but my educated guess of being.
Educated?
Educated guess of being a SAG member or union member since 1983 is that we will merge.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In the next.
Emerging is imperative.
Is it definitely going to happen?
Is it going to happen?
In my opinion, yes.
Now, tell me why it's imperative because.
It's imperative for negotiating future minimums in which we all have.
All right.
Go ahead, guys.
No, it's okay.
No, it's imperative because.
Did anybody call?
We need to negotiate wages and salaries that can help us pay our bills.
You know, right now, there's a huge disparity between, you know, what stars make and what the average day player makes or the weekly player or like, for example, on certain shows, the current climate is the first two stars of the show make hundreds of thousands of dollars and everybody else has to work for minimums.
And we need to raise those minimums.
And when SAG and AFTRA merge, then we have what they call collectives.
So, we can have collective bargaining and we can stand united and ask for more money for the little people.
I like that.
And eventually, once after SAG and AFTRA merge, then we have to go after ACTRA in Canada and merge with them and become a North American alliance of artists and performers.
When that happens, I'm wearing a T-shirt that says, well, what would it be?
And then once we get Canada.
Is it going to change the name or is it just going to be AFTRA SAG?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But once we get Canada, then we go to England.
And we get England.
And then we get one world union.
Ooh, new world order.
Sounds a little like communism to me.
Illuminati style.
You know, in my heart, I'm a socialist.
Oh, really?
Yes, sir.
Thinking of running for elected office?
Does Obama know this?
If somebody, I wrote him a letter.
Oh, I hear he reads 10 of those per day.
10 out of the thousands?
Yeah.
There's like a staff.
There's 25 people that go through all his letters.
And then they pick out 10 letters.
And there's 10 that say nice things to him.
And there's like six that say nice things and four that say bad things.
Whatever imitates the actual ratio of the thousands of letters.
And they pick out these 10 letters that they feel speak for America.
And then they give them to President Obama.
And then he reads these 10 letters each day that are representative of.
I like that.
Yeah.
Ooh, this is scary.
It's a new policy.
It's a new policy that he's stated.
It's kind of a nice way to get a message across.
Get the, you know, the top 10.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Totally.
Yeah.
Hey, I'd vote for him.
If I wasn't a felon.
What?
What?
If you were a citizen.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
I'm actually Julian Assange.
Is that your alias?
Yeah.
What does that guy look like?
He looks like Beaker.
Oh, from.
Hey, we got a caller.
I want to talk to a caller.
Let's put them on.
Who is it?
Hello?
Hello.
Hey, who's this?
Tom.
Tom?
Yeah.
What's cracking, Tom?
Yeah.
I'm trying to get in grind time.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
What's your battler name?
Psycho.
Psycho.
Psychedelic or psycho?
Just psycho.
So,cool.cool.cool.cool.cool.cool.cool.
I've been battling forever, you know what I mean?
So.
Right.
I just want to like.
Yeah, man.
Well, the way that I got down with that, with that, the way that I got down with that was to hit up Malathion.
You should hit up Malathion on Twitter.
How do you spell that?
I don't know those dudes, you know what I mean?
You have a Twitter?
You use Twitter?
What's that?
Tweet, tweet!
Oh, come on.
What's Twitter?
Shane, Shane, you want to tell them what Twitter is?
It's the wave of the future.
It just came out last week and everybody's on it.
You battle too?
No, I'm the only one that battles here.
But have you seen...
Shane would be a badass battle.
Shane would be a badass battle.
Shane actually inspired one of my battle lines.
He was making fun of Eric Spivak and...
I was just celebrating him.
Let's clarify it.
I was celebrating Eric Spivak.
Who's that?
One of my closest friends in the scene.
Go ahead.
Shane, free fall for it.
What's it called?
Free what?
Freestyle?
I kind of like free fall.
Can we change it to free fall?
That's perfect.
Who Jake battle next?
I'm going to battle Everybody Knows on March 24th.
Check us out.
That nigga whack.
What's that?
That nigga in Everybody Knows whack.
Well, I thank you for the vote of confidence.
I do have a confidence going into this.
I feel strongly about it.
That nigga whack is fucked.

Nigga that whack is fucked too, though.
Yeah, he is.
I really appreciate your support, man.

J-A-Y-K-G-A-L-L-A-G-A-T-R.

Nah, really.
It's probably the best thing to do is not fuck with the internet.
Alright, well...
Wait, he goes to the library.
There you go.
How do you find out when the next Grind Time event is, though?
I went to the library.
Wait, are you in L.A.?
Yeah, in Van Nuys.
Alright.
Van Nuys has a great library.
I've been there.
It's right across from the courthouse.
Yeah, I've been there, too.
To the courthouse.
Oh, yeah.
You know, our number over here, just for the other people that are out there wanting to call in and put us on the spot, as this man is doing.
Are you going to battle tonight?
No.

I'll battle you.
I'm going to make love to the radio.
Oh, you want to battle right now, Amber?
I mean, you know, I got to warm up my...
If the girl want to battle, that's cool, too.
I don't want to battle you, though.
I'm trying to...
I want to get on, though, you know?
It's cool.
Well, listen...
Keep doing it, man.
Keep doing it.
The person to hit up is Malathion.
It's M-A-L-A-T-H-I-O-N.
Jack, you don't need them other people in the studio with you, though.
You know?
Oh.
We're his support, man.
You know, they don't know about it.
You know what I mean?
It takes a village, man.
Yeah, but they don't really know.
They can't really speak on it.
They don't.
But you know what they can do?
They can speak on, like, other topics.
Well, we don't need to talk about ignorance.
You're not ignorant, though, if you don't know about Jake Gallagher.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
We all know about Jake Gallagher because we're in the room.
Where are you, dude?
You're in Van Nuys.
They wouldn't be here if they didn't...
Van Nuys is better than you.
Oh, come on.
We're talking about love here.
I don't know.
Can we have someone with love?
It's okay.
We're going to go...
We're going to interview...
Now he's just battling his voice.
Jake Gallagher all day.
He body all y'all.
Amen.
Amen.
Thank you, dude.
Power to the Jake Gallagher.
Jake, you don't need him, Jake.
Yeah, screw us, Jake.
You don't need us, Jake.
You're like rabbit in eight mile.
Did you just pee on my leg to just show that you don't need us?
Jake, you don't need him, man.
Keep it real, Jake.
Keep it real.
You're right.
He's going to find his Dr. Drag.
We're holding him back.
Jake got love in the hood.
Yeah.
The hood fuck with Jake.
Yeah, where's Dulo?
Dude, that's really great, Jake.
Hey, Jake.
The Olympics not on the headphones right now.
This guy called in to tell us that the hood fucks with Jake.
Hey, Jake.
What's up?
The hood fucks with Jake Gallagher, though.
That's right.
Well, I much appreciate it.
I got to run.
We got to do some more interviewing with this TV personality.
Hey, fuck Megadeth, Jake.
Fuck him up the butt with a rubber sled.
I really liked him.
I really liked him, too.
Can he be a guest on the next show?
The check's in the mail.
Tell him.
Tell your friend the check's in the mail.
The check's in the mail.
Go to jakegallagher.com.
That's the place to hang out.
I feel bad about cutting him short.
I would love to have a two-hour show where a guy compliments me.
No, I know.
That was really good.
He should just take you to dinner.
You know?
He should.
And then tell him you can't get him a show after all.
You were just kidding, but thanks for dinner.
Yeah.
Well, if you want to get on Grind Time, all you have to do is hit up Malathion and get his approval.
Malathion.
We have another caller.
Let's hold that caller for one second.
I want to ask David a question.
Do you know, when do you start shooting the next season of Homeland?
We start shooting, well, they start shooting on May 15th.
Awesome.
That's really soon.
And they're sending you out to North Carolina again?
Yes, they are.
All right.
Well, let's take this next caller.
And it's going to be, did the phone die?
That's good.
Is Tumex here?
Did you find him?
Yeah, but like somebody was like, Tumex is outside and like, well, you know.
Let's put the caller on.
We're good.
And then, you know, I don't know.
Can we order a pizza?
Yes.
Hey, caller, who's this?
Hey, what's up?
This is Michael.
Hey, Michael, what's going on?
I'm good, man.
You know, I want to let you know, you know, the last caller said that the hood does fuck with J.
Yeah.
That was your new one, right?
But I was calling for David.
David, I'm a huge fan.
Oh, thank you, Michael.
Thank you.
I loved you on everything you're in, but I have a question for you.
Can you name some of those shows?
Do you have a solid story about Harlem Nights?
Oh, yeah.
I got some great stories about Harlem Nights.
You are a real fan, dude.
You are a real fan.
Yeah, I'm a huge fan.
But, you know, I'll take your answer.
You know, I'll hang up or whatever.
But I also wanted to ask Maria, about food bowl.
I think that I really want to know what she was talking about.
But, David, I love you.
Huge fan.
Jake, the hood fucks with you.
You know that.
I do know that.
And, yeah, so you guys have a great show, and I'll talk to you guys soon.
Thanks, Mike.
Oh, that was really sweet.
Peace.
Thanks for calling, man.
I love a good fruit bowl.
Who doesn't?
Right.
You know what I mean?
Do we have healthy, tasty?
Yes.
Juicy?
Juicy.
How do I put Big Don Karras on the air here?
Oh, yeah.
That's the boy.
Don Karras.
That's the boy.
Watch out.
This guy is crazy.
This is him, dude.
I wish you could see this.
What do you people need?
Oh, I like him.
We need you, Don Karras.
You're damn right you need me.
And if somebody doesn't need me, then they're lost.
Dude, I love this guy.
Maria, you're going to love me more.
You don't even know the half of it you're going to love me.
You just heard a few lines, man.
I'm just getting started.
Oh, man.
Keep going.
I just saw a picture.
What do you want me to do?
Um.
You saw a picture.
He tells me I can't finish.
He's full of shit.
I just never pulled it all out at one time for him.
Is this getting sexual again?
It's kind of like a girl can't pull it all out on the first date.
Of course, when he sees me, they usually do, and they drop their barriers and their morals and all that kind of shit.
What do y'all people need?
Hey, Don.
How are you, buddy?
I'm doing good, Daddy-O.
How about you?
Oh, Big Daddy.
I miss you, man.
I miss you, too, man.
So tell him about your favorite TV show.
Tell him about your favorite TV show.
What's your favorite TV show?
The Shield's one.
I'm a movie detective, a rock historian.
I'm a great former athlete.
Um.
I'm an expert in the stock market real estate.
Um.
Jack of all trades.
A multi-fac- I mean, really, I know I've got myself rated pretty high, but it's all the truth.
The Shield was a great program.
And, and I mean, really great drama.
And David played a great part in it.
I mean, just watch it.
And if you're a movie fan, and if someone doesn't think The Shield was really good, then, you know, obviously, they don't know what the F's happening.
And that's a fact.
Hey, Don, have you been to the gym lately?
I drove by a bunch.
But the good thing is, I didn't pay $1,100 at the first of the year and then go five times like I've done the past 25 years.
Yeah, it's a rip-off.
So I'm holding, I'm holding out.
All right.
The first part is to find someone I can pay the money to and get, they work out and I get the results transferred to my body.
But I haven't been able to do that yet.
I think there's a few people in the room, in this room, will take you up on that.
Yeah.
I've spent my whole life doing the next easiest thing and I'm okay with it.
Mm-hmm.
I think you could just drink some water from Mexico and lose a lot of weight.
Yeah, or go to India and eat a bunch of fruit.
Yeah, it's a really good idea.
Eat a fruit bowl.
Hey, Don Carey, do you know that property you have on the corner?
Yeah.
Is that available?
Wait, the one I renovated?
Yeah, no, no, not the one you renovated, the other one, the bigger one on the corner.
Yeah, let me check right now.
That that guy jacked you up on with the counters.
Um, I think I, I'm selling two of the condos and I think I moved the lady that was renting that one in there.
I mean, do you need, I mean, I can find a place.
Did you get, I mean, are you coming to town?
Yeah, I'm in the middle of, I'm in the middle of making my deal on Homeland right now.
God knows that is great.
Like how many episodes?
Well, they only, they're only guaranteeing me seven.
They made me a low ball offer, but you guys work together.
Don is the ambassador of Charlotte.
I met this guy.
He, okay.
You know how we met this guy?
I was in Starbucks in Charlotte, in Charlotte.
Okay.
Filming.
And he can tell Dave, it doesn't matter to me.
You just speak freely, buddy.
Cause I don't care.
Oh, some things went down and he goes, okay, Dave.
Okay.
He goes, excuse me.
Um, are, are you, um, uh, Steve Billings from the shield?
And I said, yes, I am.
You know?
And he goes, Oh, hi, my name is Don Karras and I'm a big fan of yours.
And if there's anything you need here in Charlotte, you just let me know.
He says, I said, great.
I said, he goes, where are you staying?
I said, I'm staying over at the double tree.
He says, Oh, how are you getting around?
I said, you know, I'm just walking, you know, taking the bus.
He says, no, you're not, you're in Charlotte.
And you know what?
Big Don's, you're now your driver.
And anywhere you need to go, anytime you need to get there, you just give me your number.
I'll give you my number.
You call me and I'll take you anywhere to go.
And this man has, my goodness knows no bounds.
It really doesn't.
He, he just, he just endeared himself to me and he, he became my best friend in Charlotte and literally was, is like my, my, my go-to guy out there.
It just takes care of me.
Left and right.
This is, I've had my headphones off.
I was talking to two max on the phone.
This is the guy that you met when you're out there shooting Homeland.
Charlotte.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
Have you, have you cooked for him?
Oh my God.
I got to hear about it.
No, I've been getting threatened a lot.
What, what are we doing right now?
Dave, do I need to, how do I need to edit my conversation or just speak freely or, um, what are we doing?
If you're talking about food, you can say whatever you want.
No, no, this is a internet, right?
Yeah.
You can swear if that's what you mean.
You can say whatever you want.
Curse it up.
Okay.
Well, I don't want to offend anyone really.
Go for it.
I mean, yeah.
No, I'll just lay into everyone.
Well, what are you, what are you doing, Dave?
I mean, what's the gig out there?
I am here on the Jake Gallagher show.
Um, Jake Gallagher program.
I'm sorry.

I knew we were going to win.
Uh huh.
You knew it.
Yeah.
I had predicted that we would get three nominations that we would get nominated for.
Um, and I predicted this several months ahead of time.
I predicted that we get nominated for best show, that Claire Danes would be nominated and Damien will be nominated.
And we would win two out of the three.
And that's exactly what happened.
And had you, has this ever happened to you before?
Did the, the shield was that, that was winning a bunch of awards, right?

And every time I see her, I was like, yo, mom is so fine, girl.
And she's like, oh, Kyle, you're so nasty.
And I was like, yeah.
I bet that bitch is so fine.
I closed my eyes and imagined that was a panda.
Wow.

that I auditioned for, and I was totally bummed.
And I had to go to Warner Brothers to meet Dick Donner, and it's a two-hour wait, and I'm just down on show business.
You know, I just missed out on this great opportunity to make all this money, and I'm getting ready to leave.
And who comes walking through is my friend Tommy Hinkley.
And we have this little joke that we have between us, which is we went to an art opening, and the artist's name was Aldo, and he never showed up.
So anytime me and Tommy would see each other from across the room, we'd go, Aldo!
And we'd make believe we were Aldo, and everybody would turn and look, and then they'd go like, eh, fuck you guys.
So Tommy comes through the door, and he goes, Aldo!
And I go, not today, Tommy.
He goes, Aldo?
I said, no, man, you're not going to believe what happened.
I'm going home.
He goes, no, don't go home, man.
This is Lethal Weapon 2, Dick Donner.
And I said, look, man, I didn't get that pilot.
I want to go home.
He goes, what can I do to get you to stay?
I said, the only way I'm staying for this audition is if you go in the room with me.
So we asked the casting director if Dick Donner would see us together, and Tommy's appointment just happened to be right after mine, so we didn't have to ask anybody to bump anybody.
And we went in, and we met Dick Donner, and we killed it.
We just heckled and jeckled his ass.
We had him rolling on the floor.
He turns to the casting director.
He goes, okay, if we use these two guys, we've got to make the other two guys older.
Congratulations, guys.
See you on the set.
Oh, no way.
Now wait, now wait.
Oh, it gets better.
Now they were looking for five cops in the precinct to surround Mel and Danny.
Well, through the casting process, they cast four other guys, and they made me an offer and not Tommy.
Oh.
Now I'm in a big jam.
Yikes.
Big jam, right?
Because now the only reason why I'm in the movie, I'm getting this offer is because of Tommy, because I was out of there.
So I said, what about Tommy?
They said, no go.
I said, well, then I can't do it.
Damn.
What year was this?
What year was this?
Ooh, 88.
All right.
The agent said, are you sure, David?
This is for the run of the movie.
You're going to be, you know, you're playing Raguci, and you're going to be in the mix, you know, for like eight weeks.
And I said, I can't do it, you know.
So I turned it down.
And then two weeks later, or like two months later, when the movie was already filming, Tommy's agent knew one of the producers.
And I took the script home over Christmas to visit my family, and I wrote me and Tommy into the movie.
And I wrote him a book about Raguci as two wannabe cops.
What?
Who wannabe Riggs and Murtaugh.
And we always show up after the crime happened, whipping out our guns, freeze!
You know, and already the crime's over, or, you know.
We'd stroll by late at night, you know, and look, and we just want to be Mel and Danny so bad, you know.
And Dick said, okay, I'll meet you guys.
Meet us on the set.
And we did there, and we auditioned.
The three scenes that I wrote, we performed for him.
We read for him in front of everybody.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We did it.
After we were done, he said, great, let me talk to the writers.
And they huddled up, and they said, you know, could we do this?
And they came back, and they said, sorry, guys, it's a little not quite the tone of the movie, and we really can't use these characters, but because you did such a great job, we're going to give you three days on the movie.
See you next week.
And me and Tommy ended up getting in the movie.
We got three days.
We played cop number one and cop number two.
Dude, that's awesome.
That's a good story.
That's a good story about sticking to your guns, going for your dreams, etc. Doing what you gotta do, yeah.
That's great.
Thanks, man.
That was my favorite movie story.
Brotherhood, too, man.
That's real.
That's pretty amazing.
Yeah, you stood up for your friend.
Very rare.
Shane did that for me one time.
I did.
Did you?
It was on Facebook, so it means a lot more than in real life.
No doubt.
No doubt.
One more question for you, David, before we turn the focus of the sun to a different planet.
Your first series that you were a series regular on, what was it called?
It was called Civil Wars.
What?
It was created by Stephen Bochco.
Civil Wars?
Yes, it was about divorce court.
I'm surprised.
I was going for the Canadian one.
My second series, yes.
I want to hear about Civil Wars.
No, my second series was written by Academy Award winning and Emmy winning writer Paul Haggis.
You guys, Paul Haggis wrote Million Dollar Baby and he wrote the Academy Award winning That's the business.
Crash.
The movie Crash.
He created that show and that was my second series.
My first lead in a television series.
And you were a Mountie?
No, I played, it was a buddy cop show.
Canadian Mountie and Chicago Cop.
I played the Chicago Cop.
He's offered to let me borrow the DVDs of the show before and I have not taken him up on it yet but it's definitely something to do before interviewing him is watch every episode.
It's a good show.
Well, there's a community.
I saw this the other day.
There's a community devoted to your fanship.
Your fandom.
Yes.
From that show, right?
Yes, and they have a convention every year in Toronto and we're going again this August to the Deuce Out convention.
We're going to fly.
We're going to fly up there and hang out with the fannies and the little thing.
Of course.
Which is nice.
Have you been to the Twin Peaks convention?
No, sir, I have not.
Have you?
No, but I'd like to go one of these years.
You'd be good on that show.
Yeah.
I would.
I love David Lynch.
He's pretty quirky.
You'd also be great on that, what was that circus show on HBO?
Uh, it was called Freaks Circus.
Freaks Circus.
What was it called?
No, what was it called?
Carnival.
Carnival.
Dude, Shane would be all, kicking it on Carnival.
I think it was like Freaks, but like F-R-I-Q-U-E-S or something.
It was called Carnival with V-A-L-E.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
Is it like the Brazilian thing with the booties and chicks?
No, it was like, it was like circus people covered in mud.
Yeah.
Did you guys watch the season, the premiere of Luck?
Yes.
Do you like David Lynch?
No, I don't.
Do you like David Milch language?
I love David Milch language.
I thought, I thought, I thought Michael Mann did a great job directing the pilot.
I enjoyed it and was watching with my wife and she couldn't follow the language or understand cause she doesn't really know like racetrack lingo.
And I think you got to know a little bit about racetrack lingo to really enjoy it.
But I thought it was his best outing since Deadwood.
Yeah.
I used to get really stoned and watch Deadwood and just, just let the words just, you know, it was, it was like, I mean, I used to get stoned and watch Shakespeare.
I mean, I recall one evening where I had Titus Andronicus open in front of me and then I had the Julie Taymor Titus Andronicus on the television and a pile of whiskey and, and marijuana.
And it was just a, a Titus Andronicus fest.
That's a bloody Shakespearean play.
I mean, it's one of the most bloody of his plays.
Yeah.
There's a great band called Titus Andronicus.
I'm from New Jersey.
Word.
No dude, I'm from Jersey.
Yeah.
They're a great Jersey band.
The great state of New Jersey.
So is Bon Jovi.
Yes he is.
Speaking of bands.
Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson.
A lot of good musicians.
A really great TV show from New Jersey.
Sopranos.
Bruce Springsteen.
Speaking of bands, we're going to turn the focus to a little band full of big people.
You might want to tie it.
You got to tie it.
You got to tie it.
You got to tie it.
You got to tie it.
You got to tie it.
You got to tie it.
You got to get a little close to that.
Big people.
What does that mean?
In a word.
I don't know.
I'm not even sure what that means.
Verbs.
Verbs.
We got to get you a voiceover agent.
Are they playing at the Superbowl?
Are they playing at the Superbowl?
I need to do that.
For sure.
You need to do the movie tag lines.
We're going to make you a voiceover demo.
I'm going to send it to my voiceover agent.
Oh you do that?
I didn't know you do that.
Arlene Gluckman-Jones at AgencySGH.
Shout out.
You're still with her?
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's got her own agency now and they started getting me more stuff.
the day I went out to be the voice of and it was, you know, be a national voice of and I almost got it, you know, but I haven't heard yet.
I'm glad she's still working with you.
Well, you booked Southland.
Somebody that I like referred me to her.
Yeah, I booked Southland.
I'm going to shoot Southland on Thursday.
That's pretty dope.
A hipster in a coffee shop.
Dude, they filmed an episode of Southland right outside of Chaos recently and it just aired.
I was working one day and I came through and it was like bullet hole cars and I was like, what's going on?
Oh my God, it's South Central.
And Ben was like, oh no, no, they're just filming out there.
I was like, oh, okay.
Relief.
So let's turn the focus to Chris French.
What's up, man?
What's happening, man?
It's nice to see you.
Thanks for coming through.
Thanks for having me.
I'm going to tweet right now because your Twitter is IamFrench, right?
IamFrench, that's right.
Are you really French?
I'm not.
It's just my name.
And your band Twitter is Annie Auto.
Annie Auto, short for Annie Automatic.
That's right.
Annie Automatic.
And you guys have been around for a couple years now, right?
Yeah, the Annie Automatic project's been live for two years, two and a half years.
Awesome.
Is it going well?
It's going very well.
I love that question.
So how are you doing?
How is it?
Is it good?
How is it going?
How are you dealing with the death of your industry?
Anything?
Hit radio.
Maybe something like that.
That was really good, too.
Voiceover agent.
Oh, wait.
Yeah, no, the acting industry is booming, but none of my money comes from rap.
In fact, verbs, verbs, they put you, they had you acting today, and you got paid.
Well, it was like rap acting.
Yeah, that's how rap corny raps.
Would you call that racting?
Racting, yeah.
I was going for like, I was going for white people that can't rap.
They're like, they're like a white boy rapper, but they expect you to show up and be like, I like dirt.
I wear skirts.
No, what they expect is you to sound like Eminem.
Hey, but no, that whole fool's parking lot dude is the G, though.
That's what I expected.
That's Dave, dude.
That's Fog and Smog, man.
Some friends of mine.
That's crazy, because the dude who hooked me up with my Panda Express gig, he knows those dudes.
They like all work at like a voiceover spot or something, or they do like a lot of different stuff.
Yeah, their project's called Fog and Smog.
One of them's from here, from Santa Monica, and the other's from San Francisco, closer to where I'm from.
Oh, man, look at these six degrees connecting.
That's right.
Fog and Smog.com, man.
Fog and Smog.com.
That's what happens on the Jake Gallagher program.
Have you seen that Yoga Girl one yet?
Nah, nah.
Oh, dude.
Their sequel to It's Going Down in the Whole Food's Parking Lot, Yoga Girl.
It's a sequel?
Oh, it's amazing.
Oh, we got a caller?
Hey, we're gonna take a caller right now.
Wait, are they already on air?
What's up, J.R.
Tate?
Hey.
What's cracking?
What's happening, man?
It's going good, man.
How's it going?
It's going good, man.
How you doing?
What are you up to?
I was listening to your show.
I was supposed to go edit those videos from Gallagher tonight, but it didn't end up happening, so...
Yeah, you gotta get that done, man.
Yeah, yeah, man.
I got a bunch of fucking sessions this week.
That's all good.
I'll get to it next week.
That's good, man.
It's good to be working, dude.
So, uh...
So you're in a band, too, huh?
Yeah, yeah.
Good Intentions.
Yeah.
Nice.
We had the Good Intentions play at the lovely Gallagher 2331 last month.
We love to include wonderful indie rock bands in them.
You know, you're calling in right now to the lead singer of Annie Automatic.
Yeah, yeah.
I heard that.
What's up, man?
What's happening, man?
It's nice to hear your voice.
Yeah, yeah.
I haven't heard any of your stuff, man, but I'll have to go check it out.
You guys were talking about the, uh...
uh...
death of the music industry a little bit.
Wow.
I did mention that for a split second.
He, like, mentioned that for a split second.
I know anybody in our industry, they'll hear that, though, dude.
You're gonna be stuck on that thought all night, man.
When he said that, it, like, reverberated through the room like a bomb.
Yeah, we're all pouring beer everywhere now.
But, um...
Anyway, I just want to throw my two cents on that.
Let's hear it.
I think, you know, you hear a lot of talk about how people aren't, like, buying into the industry anymore and all that whatnot, but, uh...
I feel like, personally, that, uh, with everything that's going on with the internet right now, there's a potential for the industry to just totally turn around and blow up.
And I think, especially with what I've been seeing in the last few months in L.A., because I think...
I don't know.
I was talking to someone the other day about how Facebook and Twitter and all that, social networking has brought the underground above ground for everyone to see.
And, uh, you know, some people don't like that idea, but in L.A., it's really perfect because the biggest problem in the L.A.
scene has always been that it's too damn big and nobody knows what's going on anywhere because there's no way to...
That's why we have shows like Bananas to help bring all of these things together.
I'd say that and that there's too much going on, man.
I think a lot of that has to do with an oversaturation, I think, in L.A.
There's just too much going on.
Everybody just freaks out and stays at home and watches Seinfeld instead.
Netflix it up.
I don't know.
I mean, people go out, you know, during the...
I mean, I don't know.
Like, my last...
I think every show I've done in the last six months has been on a weeknight.
And about half of those went off pretty well, you know what I mean?
Nice.
Especially Banana Bananas is on Tuesday.
Nice.
You know, and last month there were over 200 people there.
Nice.
Yeah, Tuesday's the new Friday, dude.
And, uh, yeah.
I mean, well, hey, you know, and it's because there's not as much saturation.
I don't know.
I think that there's, uh...
It's good to hear some hope from you.
A lot of negativity in that realm.
There's a lot of microcosms, though, too, man.
There's a lot of scenes.
Yeah, little scenes, and then, you know, there's the macrocosm.
So it's, you know, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens, I think, is really more, you know, I think a lot of it, for me, in my opinion, a lot of it comes down to how much the industry needed to die, I think, is a really...
That's an interesting question to get into, as well.
I think a lot of it...
Yeah, it's like a gangrenous leg.
It's like a phoenix, you know, you gotta die and burn.
Yeah, I think a lot more of it kind of...
It was like the music industry had polio.
Yeah, and I also feel like a lot of these bars and clubs without musicians, they wouldn't be viable because people aren't spending money on them, so there's a good marriage between businesses and musicians and artists to bring in a customer base that normally wouldn't exist without bands playing in these bars and cafe spaces.
So a lot of people that weren't getting chances before are now getting chances to play.
And I think what people are realizing is that there are a lot of talented people out there.
It isn't saturated with lack of quality.
It's saturated with really talented people.
And I think that the internet and YouTube and Bandcamp and SoundCloud has showed everybody that, hey, there's not just like 20 artists that can sell a lot of records.
There's a lot of people that can sell records.
The problem is a lot of people don't have money to buy records, and...
They're a luxury, not a necessity.
Shit gets deep on the Jake Gallagher program.
I think part of it is that a lot of people don't have money to buy records.
A lot of people get into music expecting to be able to sell records, and the reality is now nobody's selling records except for, you know, a tiny, tiny, tiny percentage of the people making records.
So I think part of what's been dying that I think needed to die was the idea that we had to sell records to be a viable artist.
Or we had to be on a major label to be tight.
Like, you know, you can have your own cult following by just doing your own DIY type shit.
You know what I'm saying?
And I think it comes down to...
If there's no one for you to sign, then you're not going to be signed anymore.
Or they shouldn't.
Well, you know, that's an interesting...
That's a whole other debate, I think.
I think, dude, I love hearing your hope, man.
I love hearing your hope, dude.
And I think what a...
I think the really important thing for us artists to remember is that it's times like this that remind us that it's not about making a dollar off of every track that you write.
You know what I mean?
It's about writing the track in the first place.
Trying to make music for the sake of making music.
And that in itself is what's going to weed out all the people that had it oversaturated to begin with.
The people who weren't necessarily there for the right reasons.
You know, and all of that.
And I think it would get back to a renaissance to a certain extent.
Hey, I gotta...
Keep doing what you're doing, man.
Sorry to interrupt you, man.
JR, I gotta let you go.
We got one more call to take real quick.
Thanks for calling, brother.
Much appreciate you, JR. Thanks for having me on, man.
So good to have you at Galaga last month.
And what's your next show?
It's a week from now.
You're already hung up.
But you can check them out at facebook.com slash the good intentions.
It's a very good band.
This next call is from a guy from somebody that was on the shield.
Can somebody...
Verbs, can you imitate David's voice so he thinks that he's still here?
I don't know his voice and it doesn't sound anything like this.
Can you hear me?
Oh, you know what?
I just clicked to drop the call by accident.
Call back, dude.
Some guy...
You dropped it on purpose by accident?
It was by accident.
Kenny Johnson that was on the shield.
Kenny Johnson, if you're hearing this right now, call back.
We want to talk to you.
But while we have this space with no Kenny Johnson, I want to hear about...
Chris, you said...
You told me that you have a new acoustic EP.
Is that correct?
Yeah, we've got some pretty awesome unplugged songs that we've been working on for the last couple months that we're trying to put together and do what we can to get some free music out there for everybody.
But we just released a full-length record in August of this last year and working on a few other things.
I actually just finished a...
killer EP for this...
for a girl named Brianna.
She has a project called Bluebird and it actually just dropped yesterday.
I brought a couple tracks from each of those things with us...
with me tonight so we can listen to whatever you feel like listening to.
But we do have some stuff to give away for anybody that's listening.
We've got a couple CDs.
My band, we actually were able to have the opportunity to do this killer comic book this last year too.
Is Kenny Johnson back?
Yeah, he's back.
We could just give away something to Kenny Johnson but he's already back.
We've got to give it to the person that calls next.
We've got to give it to the person that calls next.
Yeah, we're going to find out about the comic book.
I swear to God.
And Chris is going to forgive me for my ADD interruption.
That's alright, dude.
But let's find out what's going on with Kenny Johnson.
What's happening, Kenny?
How are you?
Hey, man.
What's happening?
Marciano's on the show?
He was, man.
He just left a couple minutes ago.
We can give him a message for you.
Oh, dog.
I'm so sorry, man.
Apology accepted, man.
Did you meet him...
You met him while you were on set with him?
Uh, yeah.
I mean, I...
Yeah.
Uh...
I was on the first five seasons.
I think David came on like season four or something like that.
And, uh...
Mm-hmm.
To the end.
So, yeah.
And then we just did a movie together like a year ago.
Uh-huh.
And I was doing Sons of Anarchy for two seasons.
And I think he came on for one episode of that, too.
He did.
I recall...
I recall he was on last year.
So what was your role on The Shield, Kenny Johnson?
I played Lemonhead, Lemanski.
I was, uh...
You know, Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember you.
Yeah, I just IMDB'd you and checked you out, bro.
You're part of the team, man.
You're part of the team.
The squad.
Yeah, the real deal.
People in the studio, you watch The Shield, right?
See.
Did you watch The Shield?
I don't, actually, personally.
I mean, it's over.
It's a piece of television history now.
Oh, really?
One of the best cop shows around.
Wow.
Uh, Kenny, Kenny, as a fellow actor, I've got a confession to make.
I just booked one line on Southland next week.
Woo!
Dude, that's dope.
This is my confession.
Southland is a badass bitchin' show, so congratulations.
Southland is the only show that compares to The Shield, in my opinion.
Yeah.
For, like, gritty cop show.
Yeah.
What's the best gritty cop movie?
Cops.
Uh, pretty top movie, man.
I mean, uh, Bad Boys.
Rush Hour 2.
Bad Boys.
Bad Boys.
I thought Narc was cool with Ray Liotta and Busta Rhymes.
Hey, Jake, people that do one line go on to do two lines.
That's right.
Yeah, they can hold out after one line.
My friend, uh, my friend Josh, uh, he got hired to do one line on Glee, and he ended up being a series regular on Glee.
Yeah, he's coming, he's gonna come do an interview here in, like, a week or two.
Is he rollerblading?
Totally.
Oh.
All day.
That's good to know.
Um, can he sing the fame from back to back?
I don't know.
I forgot, because I was thinking about Kenny Johnson again.
Write that question down and we'll ask him when he comes in.
Uh, Kenny, uh, um, do you like the show Justified?
I love it.
I love it.
Absolutely love it, man.
Yeah, my, my, my buddy Walton, who's on the shield, obviously, is on Justified.
I, I, I dig it.
I think, yeah, I think it's phenomenal.
The second season got a lot better than the first, I think, and, uh, it's a great show.
Yeah.
It's, it, it's, it's one of the shows that I enjoy watching.
A lot of people don't watch TV these days, but it's like, a lot of times it's better than the movies.
How about Walking Dead?
That shit's the truth.
Hey, man, there's some amazing television happening right now.
They should just put TV on Facebook.
Everybody would watch it.
I like Eastbound.
I mean, you've got the Kardashians.
Hey, that's an idea.
Watch Fox on Facebook.
Facebook.tv.
I'm sitting here talking, I'm watching TV on my internet, right?
Yeah.
You can chat while you're watching TV.
I'm about to buy that domain.
TV on the internet.
TV book?
It's a new band.
Instead of TV on the radio.
Yeah, it's TV on the internet.
Or Facebook.tv.
Um, you got, uh, you got any projects coming up you want to plug or promote?
I love promoting other people's stuff.
Yeah, no, I mean, you got a movie called Few Options coming out, I think, on Showtime in two months.
Nice.
Uh, I think it's on, yeah, Amazon.
Amazon right now.
They just started selling it last week and it's doing really great, I guess, and, uh, and I just finished my prospect, uh, I think, like, two weeks ago, so, um, yeah, whatever.
I mean, that's it.
Do you have anything you bought recently that you're really excited about?
That I bought?
Yeah, like anything.
Popcorn, clothes.
Um, man, what did I buy?
What?
Don't.
Yeah, man, I bought a pineapple.
I bought this great pineapple called, uh, gold.
Pie, Hawaiian gold.
It's called, and I just flew it back, uh, two days ago from, from Maui, so, I, and I just ate it tonight.
Congratulations, I love pineapple.
Frag about it.
Yeah.
You know, this amazing pineapple from Maui.
You know, I brought Shane on the show as a host just to ask people questions like that, just to mess with people like that, but you're like, you're the last person that I want him to mess with, but.
But he bought a pineapple, it was awesome.
No, it was real.
Yeah, I love pineapple.
It's a good source of vitamin A.
When I go to parties with Shane, he introduces me, he's like, have you met Jake?
He started Jamba Juice.
No, he, he hires at Google.
He knows how many jelly beans you can put in the Grand Canyon.
Hey there.
That makes me think.
That sounds big.
I do.
Um, now, Lem was, was Lem the character that got blown up in the car?
Spoiler alert.
Aw.
Was that the character that got blown up in the car, Lem?
Yes.
Man.
That was such a fucking good show.
It was such a good, good attempt to murder this pen that you were so angry about.
Um, yeah, I know.
Well, Mr. Johnson, uh, I am deeply, deeply thrilled that you called in.
I'm gonna tell David, uh, that you called in and that, and that you love him.
Um, yeah, okay, you tell him that.
Do you have a message for the audience of the Jake Gallagher program?
Yeah, man.
Keep, keep listening, man, because you get, you get all the news first.
All the entertainment news.
Everybody's on your show.
Yes.
That's right.
This just in.
Something.
It's getting weird and just keep going.
Jake Gallagher's taking over.
This is like the Avengers team.
You know what I'm saying?
It is.
This is like, he's still got a shirt off too.
All right, man.
He's like Dove Charney of radio.
Oh, what?
I'm Wolverine.
Oh, whoa, Dove Charney?
I used to work at American Apparel, dude.
All right.
Next episode, we're gonna have all these girls get naked all over the table, but you guys can't see them because we're not gonna broadcast that one.
It's mad.
It's VIP.
It's popping out all over the place.
So, huge ones.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna let you go so we can play one of, uh, Chris's songs, but it's an honor to have you calling.
You have a great evening, man.
You got it, man.
Have a great night.
Peace.
Thanks for coming out.
Peace.
I like that guy.
Peace.
Yeah, that was very friendly of him to use the telephone device.
I know.
A lot of people don't even have telephones.
That might have been the landline.
He was on the internet.
He used Skype.
Yeah.
Oh, telephone on the internet.
That's my new band name.
Dot com.
Speaking of band names, speaking of band names, uh, Mr. French.
Wow, that was a, indeed.
Yeah.
That was a hell of a segue, dude.
I know, right?
I almost didn't catch that segue.
So, uh, it was that swift.
Do you, should we just play one of your songs now or should you give us a little intro about it?
Uh, we could play, um, we could play a track called Dear Charlie off of a, uh, a record that we put together and released this last, uh, August.
It's a full length that's totally available everywhere online and, this track is, uh, called Dear Charlie.
I believe she's got it in there.
Cool.
The producer lady looks a little confused.
Oh, here it goes.
Whoop.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But now it will never be enough Charlie, your life revolves around money It's not too late to change, are you listening?

Yeah.
Oh, very cool.
Amber knows about this sort of stuff, but Marie does too.
Marie is so West Side.
You're so West Side, Marie.
I've never been to Moscow.
You're missing out.
Moscow is a blast.
It's a blast, Jake.
Yeah, it's on Cherokee and Hollywood Boulevard.
Yeah, that's in Hoewood.
This is why there's other hosts besides me on this show.
Bordeners.
I'm going there on Sunday.
I'm dumb.
Bordeners?
I've been there.
That's where Moscow is in the courtyard.
Oh, okay.
In the back of Bordeners, yeah.
Now I don't feel so dumb.
Yeah, it's a good time though.
Yeah, and they have- February 22nd.
Yeah, and they have like 80s music inside.
February 22nd.
Yeah.
And cool music outside.
They do Bar Sinister.
They do a couple good nights there.
Yeah, Bar Sinister's good.
Yeah, that should be a good time.
So that wasn't an acoustic track.
That was not an acoustic track, no.
That's one off the record we put out called Don't Look Down this last year.
From August.
Yeah.
Any of the Annie Automatic stuff.
If you go to AnnieAutomatic.com, you can link up to anything from Facebook to Twitter to the iTunes page to anything like that.
Where did you get Annie Automatic?
Annie Automatic is- Annie, are you okay?
Annie, are you okay?
Is a pretty good story.
To give you the very short version, it's basically named after a muse of mine.
Ooh, rawr.
That's the very short version.
But now I want to hear a little bit more.
Annie Automatic actually is a person who is still- Is that her last name?
Is that her Facebook name?
Oh, hey guys.
It is not.
It's not her actual last name.
I lost track of something for a second.
Is that her Facebook name?
We need to put a collar on.
We need to put a collar on.
Is Cadillac still on?
Wow, I can't believe Cadillac is still on hold.
Let's put Cadillac Ron on.
I can't believe we had him on hold this whole time.
I can't believe that.
I hope he was listening on the radio too.
Who is this?
Cadillac Ron.
He's a rap legend.
Dude, were you listening to the radio while you were on hold or did you have to just listen to the whole music?
I haven't had to wait that long in LA for like three years.
Dude, I am so sorry.
No, no, I'm just kidding, man.
I know the hold music is kind of intense.
Yo, this is the Sayers Club tonight, dude.
I thought, I couldn't tell if that was the hold music or that was the dude's band playing.
Right?
I was like, I didn't know.
Did the music sound like this?
Da-da-da.
Da-da-da-da-da.
I don't remember.
My memory's shot, bro.
Or did it sound like this?
Did it sound like this?
I can't even remember like most things.
This is getting- If it sounded like a rock band, it was the dude's music.
If it sounded like- The music, the hold music over here sounds like intermission music.
I think it was the rock band.
That's good.
And the Automatic.
And the Automatic was playing on February 22nd at Borgner's.
Yeah, that's right.
He heard it.
He's been on- So what's going on, Cadillac?
I'm just headed over to the Troubadour right now to do a little guest spot with 2Mex.
Oh, ish.
That's a pretty good spot.
I really like the Troubadour.
Yeah, it's cool.
Oh, yeah.
For those who are- I'm bringing my kids with me over there.
What?
To a rap show.
That's good.
I'm like, hey, come on in and watch your dad rap.
Yeah.
We gotta eat somehow.
I called Cadillac up the other day and I was talking to him and in the background, his young child was like, daddy, daddy.
And he's like, what?
And he's like, you're the best rapper.
That's why you have kids.
Well, that's true, though.
He's a smart kid.
Yup.
Yup.
He knows what's going on.
Yeah, he knows what time it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, y'all are getting it in over there.
Skid Row Studios.
That's my hometown down there.
Yeah, I know.
Skid Row?
Yeah, 7th and St. Julian, fishing Broadway all day.
Old school downtown gangsters.
You know what I mean?
Yup.
Yeah.
They used to have everything down there, man.
You could buy crack on 5th and Main and heroin on 5th and Main.
I think you can still do hot dogs and shopping carts.
Yeah, I don't think the location changed.
There's mangoes with chili.
There's all sorts of stuff.
No, no.
And now it's all gentrified down there.
Yeah.
It's all gentrified down there, man.
It's gentrified.
Yeah, the homeless guys have like 1800s wigs on.
Excuse me, would you like to buy some crack?
I've got crack right here in my ass.
Please reach in.
Once Brad Renfro got busted buying heroin, it changed everything, man.
Wait, did he get caught down here in Skid Row?
Oh, yeah.
He was caught on Skid Row.
At least Garrett was caught down there.
Then TMZ started coming down there.
Then it was like, you can't even buy heroin in the city anymore.
TMZ moved their office to Skid Row.
It's no longer trashy to be a crackhead in downtown LA.
What's that?
I'm just saying.
Hey, Cadillac, we're running out of time.
I just want to repeat, you're about to play with Tumex.
You're about to perform with Tumex at the Troubadour.
What time are you guys going?
It's Tumex at 9 and Doomtree at 10 o'clock.
Awesome.
I would encourage everyone in the West Hollywood area, West Side, to come over and party with us.
For people that...
If you guys aren't tuned in tonight to hear Tumex, I have to tell you, I gave him the wrong address.
So he's going to come back next week because I'm dumb.
And I texted him, is it 843?
Is it a 643?
So Tumex is a guest on our radio show next week.
And catch him tonight performing with Cadillac Ron at the Troubadour.
And by the way, Cadillac Ron is a guest on this show on February 23rd.
So we'll get even more.
Yeah.
Mujer, baby.
Fresh toast, baby.
Don't stop, baby.
Cali's active, baby.
Let's go.
All day.
Can we get V Nasty on here?
Thanks for calling in, man.
Peace.
Yes.
As a guest.
Yes.
So back to Chris.
Chris, I want to hear about the stuff that you're banded in relation to the ASPCA.
The Humane Society.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I get those two mixed up.
It's just I love cats and dogs so much.
Yeah.
It's not just cats and dogs.
It's farm animals.
It's turtles.
Farm animals.
Washing machines.
Anyway, what happened?
We did a, I did a little, just a little track, like a little cover of this song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Uh-huh.
And we did it kind of acoustic with a featured guest and the entire thing benefited Humane Society.
Who was the featured guest?
Featured guest was a girl named Kaylee Cuoco.
Okay.
She's on the Big Bang Theory?
Yeah.
Not Two and a Half Men?
No.
Not Running with Scissors.
That's not even a show.
Not Mike and Molly.
I love Mike and Molly.
I watch it every night.
Just kidding.
Okay.
So all the proceeds went to the Humane Society.
All the proceeds went and still go to the Humane Society of Prophets for Micah, yeah.
Tight.
You can get that on iTunes and everything too.
Did you know that seven out of ten cats and five out of ten dogs are put down every year due to lack of shelter space?
Did Sarah McLachlan tell you that?
Uh-huh.
Now, when I was a fundraiser for the ASPCA and the Humane Society, I memorized that right before I adopted my cat.
I think it was on the bathroom stall on Skid Row Studios.
Yeah.
That's right.
You just read that right now.
It's true.
I did.
So should we play?
Yeah, I actually did an EP for this project called Bluebird that actually just came out yesterday.
Where can I get it?
You can get it on iTunes.
You can get it on Amazon.
If you go to Facebook and search Bluebird, it'll come up and you can get everything on there as well.
Now it is.
It's really easy to get everything.
You can pretty much find it.
If you put in Bluebird EP into iTunes, it'll be one of the first things that you'll see.
Nice.
This track's called Welcome to the Night.
It's one of those off that.
It was actually a pretty interesting experience.
The whole EP came together so well.
We had a co-writer named Joe Gillette on it.
It was pretty incredible.
Everybody that played on it is just top notch and we've just been pretty excited for it to come out.
It having come out yesterday, we're pretty excited.
For you hip hop heads, right after this track, we're going to have Bramby from Dirt Raid do a little DJ set.
The rap has not left the building just yet.
Bring it on.

I like the horns.
That was really good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, that was an EP that I produced, co-wrote and produced with this girl, Bri, Brianna, and the project's called Bluebird.
You can find that all over the place online.
It came out yesterday.
Yeah, that's a big sound.
Did you have trouble finding all those people?
No.
No.
Chris has access to like fancy studios and stuff.
Yeah.
And instruments.
Lots of instruments.
All the brass and woodwinds on that were actually played by a killer kid named Matt Appleton who does all the brass and woodwinds for Real Big Fish and Goldfinger.
And a bunch of other stuff.
He's a good friend.
I hate to, I hope this isn't blowing up your spot, but weren't you in some fancy band before this?
Yeah, well, Annie Automatic is the current live project and you can, again, find that anywhere online, AnnieAutomatic.com or Facebook or Twitter or Pure Volume or whatever you want to do.
And it was actually just before this in a band called Palmerstone that did pretty well and that actually is even still available on iTunes as well.
But the band is no longer?
free.
The band is no longer free.
The band is no longer free.
The band is no longer free.
The band is no longer, I guess.
It's on a indefinite hiatus.
It's going back to the studio to record an album.
Yeah.
In about 10 years.
We're working on new material.
We're working on the next Guns N' Roses record.
Yeah.
Didn't you, didn't you like record some special tracks on New Year's night or something and they're on your website?
Yeah, we did a bunch of Sinatra stuff on Thanksgiving.
I brought a raccoon in this paper bag.
You don't want to let it out.
Nancy Sinatra?
Yeah, Nancy Sinatra.
Nancy Sinatra.
No, no, we did a bunch of Frank Sinatra stuff on Thanksgiving at Nightbird Studios underneath the Sunset Marquee.
Do you know Juliet something, something?
I do know Juliet at Nightbird, yeah.

No, I ran into her at a party on Saturday.
Your Facebook friends were there.
I ran into her at a party at Saturday, too.

So, Annie Automatic.
He's blushing.
I'm going to start following you on Twitter.
I appreciate that.
Yeah, we're all over Twitter and all of that.
Twitter's a fun waste of time.
Yes.
It's cool.
We've met a lot of really rad people and stuff on there.
We actually just did this killer benefit for this group called Team True Beauty that kind of started their whole thing on Twitter.
And to write love on her arms and a couple other benefits.
Yes, to write love on her arms.

Yo, Bramby of Dirt Raid, straight from the 909.
My hometown.
I'm about to play a sick bet.
It ain't, it ain't, it ain't, it ain't nothing but a fam, fam, fam.
Hoodwraps, jocks, so damn swang.
Fools get jealous trying to run up a boss that don't test me.
Biz-am, biz-am, the clicks that won't quit.
Bump, bump, too much funk, bump, bump, then platinum hits.
Got ounce after ounce, baby, look, that's I.
Westside, Long Beach, that's right, I'm high, I'm tight.
Never slipping, steady, dipping in the mood to get stuck.
Riders, I can grab the rack and throw it out to the hoods.
Franks, my chucks.
West Coast, doing 80, hitting the sick flow switch.
Pull out the trunk for little nook before I take some sip.
Bump, bump, from the trunk of my plushed out lap.
Bump, bump, from the humps as I blaze my sack.
Me be bailing like a gangster, your stick just rapping.
Drop down with the fam-bamp sounds and store a cabin.
Bump, bump, from the heat underneath my seat.
As I roll, as I stroll down the dark back streets.
Try to test me if you wanna see these things I swang.
Rats, jockeying around the clock but it's a fam-bamp bag.
So it ain't nothing but a fam-bamp bag.
You know the tracks so a little swag.
So easy to try to run a ball around That's me, that's me, that's me And again and again I wanna see the God damn moon I wanna see the God damn moon Get up, take a minute I wanna see the God damn moon I wanna see the God damn moon I wanna see the God damn moon I wanna see the God damn moon Get up, take a minute I wanna see the God damn moon I wanna see the God damn moon Ma'am, please stay seated.
I'm not here like you, motherfucker.
Y'all, you got to get licked up to do your business up in here.

Oh, the flesh is weak, it's a struggle for peace, it's a deadly conflict between man and beast.
We strive for God and a better tomorrow, still suffering from the unforgettable soul.
Be paid from thy sins, son, and walk ye straight.
Stop talking all that trash, boy, and walk ye straight.
I'm tempted by the pleasure of life at every vital point.
Still, still, I wouldn't give a oink, or flinch an inch, or pinch a pinch off the pie, or ever try to try a wrench.
Confronted by the devil himself and stay strong.
You think you can take the chain as you come?
Strong as the base of a mountain, there's no counting how many MCs pass through my fountain.
Fifty thousand, fifty thousand, fifty, fifty combination.
I'm not giving mine away to Satan.

Bet I, straight to the head with the pet rock.
At least till I can get from out this booth, it's like a sweat box.
Trade a few bars, a head nod, and throw us a stack.
Pay a minute, sold up like thread and bobbin.
I'ma slip him, son, I'ma dip him, son.
Bonus pack, invest in the first B-Boy kid show.
Live off Skid Row, with Jive talkin' Negroes.
He wear his beard like a frizzly-haired grizzly, and kept his appearances exquisitely rare.
Where is he?
Busy in your backyard or on your front porch.
Standing in the corner of the club with a blunt torch.
It's all, it's a rhyme like he's starving.
From sold-outs and bobkins to old gods and goblins.
Golly, a just a pest and your worst best friend.
Who mended ripped space-time fabric like polyester, like polyester.
