Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music Outro Music we're going to give a big up to iTunes. Big up iTunes. Big, big, big, big, big. Big the fuck up to iTunes. iTunes did put Nestorius Public Radio on the top left on the front page of their new and noteworthy podcast. And since then, we've been getting like, did you just say all this before? Yo, we're blowing up, son. We're big time, bro. We get premier parking spots at the parking lot, baby. We're parking, baby. You don't stop. We got the podcast. They'll be blowing up on the cock. Say what? Parking. Parking. Parking. Parking. We get free parking. Parking. You guys are so late. We're so huge, we don't even need the chocolates. We just give them away. We just leave them placed. How many? Dropping chocolates. With that, with that, with that, vanilla ice. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I got the opportunity to go for two days on Parenthood or two weeks on a movie called Cool as Ice with Vanilla Ice. Cool as Ice. And I knew nothing about Vanilla Ice at all. Nothing about rap. Didn't know what the heck was about. Let me see what this kid's like. And I got to tell you, if I'd have been on Parenthood, it might have gotten cut out. But I got two weeks on this thing called Cool as Ice and people dig it up all the time. But the truth about it is that ain't nobody got time for that. And Vanilla Ice was a really, was a great experience. He was a pretty good guy. Well, you know, one of the things about, as a fellow white guy with great hair, a slick white guy with really nice hair, I can really relate to Vanilla Ice. And one of the classic lines from that movie, I don't know if you know this. Go ahead, go ahead. He's on the motorcycle and he says, drop the zero and get with the hero. I know he said that. Yeah. If you've never said that to a woman, I mean, come on. That's a great line. That is a great line. You walk up to a girl in a bar. I've only seen it. I've only actually watched it once. That's a great fucking line. You walk, hey, yo. Hey, yo. Drop the zero and get with the hero. Hey, yo. Hey, yo, homie. Hey, yo. And there's a guy that had a lot of stuff going on because he got accused of not being who he was. Of not being black and then not being white. And now he's got an organization that helps rebuild homes for people. Right, right. Now he's a home improvement wizard. Everybody's got a journey. Everybody's got a journey. Everybody's got, look, everybody's got a journey. Everybody's got the right, the right to do what they believe they're set out to do. And just because you fail at the beginning or you don't get the results instantaneously doesn't mean that you're a failure or you're fake or whatever. You know, everyone's got the right to explore their individual spiritual journey. It's all what you do. It's all according to what you're doing. Exactly, man. We all make mistakes on a daily basis. I made a mistake by telling you, hey, come on to the show. You know what I mean? But then you just suit up and show up and then the magic happens, you know? You know it. You know it. You know it. It's all good. You know it. It's all good. And Vanilla Ice was a good guy. He had his posse around him. They were all, he was good to all the kids that come down because there were a couple of hundred kids came to the set all the time just to get a peek for him. And he came out of the trailer and he was cool to everybody. And I don't even think, there's a couple other guys, Deezer D is another friend of mine. Oh, Deezer D. Yeah. He was in that movie as well. So you meet some people in these small shows that you have lifelong friendships with. Yeah, yeah. My boy, my boy E-Rock, we'll give him a, we'll give him a big up because E-Rock is, E-Rock is my boy. E-Rock is definitely my boy. We're going to give E-Rock a big up in a minute as soon as I find my fucking template here. But yeah, E-Rock, E-Rock. Big up, E-Rock. Big up, Eric Goldman. Big the fuck up, Woodstock. Big up, big up. Dick and Susan Goldman. Big the fuck up for raising your kid right. Big up, big up. Yeah, E-Rock was, was doing work with Deezer D. And so we know Deezer D through E-Rock and shit. And you know, then in Boston, there's E-Mac and Bolio. Completely unrelated, but it's the precursor to Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Now I just had a fucking ADD moment. It has nothing to do. Oh, E-Rock and Bolio is down on, on Amsterdam Avenue too. That's right, that's right, that's right. E-Mac, E-Mac and Bolio. Yeah. E-Mac and Bolio. We're going to start giving, random advertising props to people. Yeah, fuck it. Because that's the way, that's so, you see, people always put the, the, the, the carriage in front of the horse. We tend to do that. Well, we do that because we have ADD. But a lot of, a lot of people do. We put two carriages, one on each side of the horse. We're going to put the horse in front of the carriage. And we're going to give a big the fuck up to E-Mac and Bolio all over the East Coast. E-Mac and Bolio, big up, man. Big, big, big the fuck up. E-Mac and Bolio. Yeah. Carmel Crunch. Yeah. So, back, back to Jack McGee, man. I really want to, you know, we're going to go all over the place, which is beautiful because your IMDB page reads like a fucking blueprint for the New York City subway map system. You know, it just fucking goes all over the fucking place. It does, doesn't it? This shit is crazy. Yeah. This shit is crazy. You sleep around, that's what happens. Yo, but, but the thing is, you see, how long do I know you now? We know each other for about four. 20 minutes. No, no, we know each other seriously, like about five, six years. Oh, maybe at least that. At least. Six or seven, yeah. At least. Yeah. And the first day I met you, the first day. It was just one kiss. Yeah, but that's, it's not the kiss. It's not the kiss. It's, it's the energy that two human beings transfer to each other, as if. And the other two human beings that are in our life want us to get away from them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But as if we knew each other. Right. For fucking, like a lifetime. Like as if we grew up with each other. We did. That's how it is. It was a different world back then, but we did. Different world, different time period, whatever. There's a scientific principle for every nut job, there's an equal or opposite nut job out there. Yep. Well, that's how it is. That's how it is. We're going to talk about nut jobs later on, because we, we, you know, nut jobs. That was pretty deep. That was deep. That was just deep. Like when I met Nestor. That was too deep for me and him, that's for sure. Well, like when I met Nestor, we hit it off right off the bat. Well, that's another episode, dude. When you and I met. go ahead. Well, no, one of the movies you did, which I think is really interesting with I think a lot of listeners would want to hear, is the transition, because you were a firefighter. Right. And you were doing acting. Right. And you got your big break in a movie. And the reason I want to mention this, which is so cool when I was looking this over, is this is also a movie, Nestor, I don't know if you know this, my great, my grandparents on my father's side were in this movie also, because I'm a fourth generation actor in my father's side. And my grandparents were in the movie as extras in Turk 182. We were just talking about that. And that wasn't, that was, well, that was the first speaking role I had in a film. Yeah. So it was a breakthrough. That was a big deal. And I remember that, you know, you go and you tell it to everybody and of course, Turk 182 is a movie with Robert Urich and Timothy Hutton. It was about firemen, blah, blah, blah, back in there. And you tell everybody, I was still on the fire department at the time, tell everybody you get your first speaking part in a movie and they had a big benefit for the opening performance. They're like, shut the fuck up and just roll the fucking holes. They were like, and I invited them all down. Yeah, come down. It was down at Times Square. And I didn't realize because I was still a new kid on the block that just because they pay you to be an actor in it doesn't mean they're going to keep your scenes. Wow. And what happened was they cut out, every time I went to speak, they cut out all my lines. But that, in fact, was the first film I ever worked on and that was a great bit of news to find out that your grandparents were in that film as well. Yeah, it's a small world. It's a small world. But just so y'all know out there, it really has nothing to do with whether your acting skills were on the money or not. It basically comes down to the timing of the film. I think you mentioned it in one of your interviews that the film is really done in the editing room. Right. I believe you said that, but it's a common knowledge for those people who are in the business that there's a script. Yeah. Then there's, you know, the production. Right. Right? Then there's the issues and the dynamic between the director, the money people, the studios, all that bullshit. Then there's the editor. The editor cuts his shit and that may be the cut, maybe the director's cut, maybe the studio cut. And so it really goes down to the cut. There are so many, so many different aspects, so many different departments, so many different people have their hand in making something like that happen. When you hear people talking to the business about saying that, like for instance, the fighter, Mark Wahlberg said he'd be trying to make that film for seven years. And you think to yourself, well, Jesus, Mark Wahlberg, he's Wahlberg, he's got enough clout. But there's so many variables that come into play there. And then ultimately, Ron Howard, we were sitting around shooting the bull and Ron Howard said, for him, it's just gathering as much material as he possibly can. And then he goes into the room and he makes the movie. Right, right. You know, because that's where the magic I think happens, happens all over the place. Yeah, yeah. And when it comes from the written page, it's hard for me to ever imagine. When they ask me if I read a script, I'll read it, but I can't envision what these guys have in mind and what the flavor of film goes. So it's pretty overwhelming when you realize what a minute part you play in these different projects that you work on. Right. And I think that that's an interesting point. So Mark Wahlberg went from rapper like fucking Vanilla Ice, but then he took it to another level. Well, he went from juvenile delinquent. Right, right, right, right. Well, that's his experience. But he went from that to hot. Listen, if I was a girl, I would have blown him. I'm telling you right now. It's not too late. No, I know that. No, you can, yeah. Life's all about choices. No, exactly. You get your big break. You don't have to be a girl to blow him. I mean, do you? Technically, no. I mean, you met him. Do you think he'd let me blow him? You could marry. You could marry the man now. I think he falls under the category of not being that choosy. Yeah, he might. Yo, seriously, that motherfucker is hot. Yeah, man. That motherfucker is hot. He might see them two gold teeth and just be turned on by it. Yeah. I think it's if you put a nice wig. I think that's really what it comes down to. You gotta get a nice wig. Big up Mark Wahlberg. Big the fuck up. Big up. Big up for blowing Mark Wahlberg with a wig. Sexy white motherfucker six pack Irish fuck from South Boston. Big up. I'm a big Mark Wahlberg fan. I'll never work with him again. I'm a big Mark Wahlberg fan only because only because only because he's classy. Yeah, he is classy. He's classy. He's classy and he's got he's got he's got finesse like Jack was just saying. He came from he was a street thug to come on. Come on. Da da da da da da da da da But you know when you think about him Feel it. Feel it. What he gives off Oh wait, what was that song? It's just a sweet sensation Sweet vibration. Come on. Come on. Come on. You gotcha. All he did was come on. Come on. That was his line. That's a rap. That's all he needed to do. Yeah, that's all he But you know his big deal was because he had a priest that believed in him. There you go. He had a priest that believed in him. He's gone back to that same place and he's paid for he's bought gymnasiums Oh yeah. He's putting kids through school. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. So he had an opportunity to get turned around. That's right. He might be one of them guys we were talking about that could have been out in front of a 7-Eleven. That's right. That's what I'm saying. All you gotta do is give somebody a shot. That's what I'm saying. Just be nice to somebody. That's all. Be kind. It's free. Again, that's gonna be the running theme for this episode of Nestorius Public Radio. Listen, I know you motherfuckers are listening out there. 1-800-893-9562. Jack, don't bite. You know, I know you got questions. I know you wanna ask them all sorts of shit. We haven't even scratched the fucking dandruff-covered surface of my cranium on all this shit here. We're gonna fucking get Illy Dilly, Manilly, fucking all over the motherfucking place. You know what I mean? So as we're doing this, I'm trying to post on Facebook and I'm trying to get a fucking picture of you, Jack, up on there. I can't believe you didn't have your picture. No, I did. You didn't have a picture. No, I did. You got a picture of Michael Chiklis up there, don't you? No, no, I did. But this fucking thing isn't letting me do it. It's just like... And I already did. I already did put a picture of you. I brought 20 or 30 with me. I did. No, I got you, man. I got you. Here we go. No, you know, Facebook has these things to upload. And anyway, you know what, Facebook? Thank you, baby. We love you, Facebook. We love you. They better know who I am now anyway. Anyway, by the way, by the way, ain't nobody got no time for that. By the way, big up to all you Facebook users that got nothing to do with your life. Big up. Big up that you've been wasting your employer's time. Big up. Big up. Big up. You're always on Facebook during nine to five. Big up. You do nothing for the employer except post on Facebook. Nothing. You do nothing but like, like, like on Facebook. Big up to your lazy goats. I like that horn. You know what that horn reminds me of? What? The horn when the New York Rangers scored a goal. Yo, that's the same horn. That's the same horn. That's a score. That's a score. Yeah, it's the same. And motherfuckers are throwing beer bottles and shit. They won. They also beat. They won last night. They were down two games to nothing. They come back and beat Washington. It's two games to one now. We're going to even it up tomorrow night. All right. Right, right, right on. Did you play hockey? Because I know a lot of I did as a kid, but I wasn't very good. You weren't very good. I did. I played out on the lake. We used to go up for sometimes in the winter to a lake up in upstate New York, Putnam Lake, and we skated out there, but I wasn't a good skater. I coached a lot of hockey. I coached the five department hockey team in New York. Wow. That's tight. That's tight. That's my game. And you also go out to my neck of the woods. We were talking about you like spending time on Vashon Island. For those of you that don't know. David and Daniel are two best friends in the world live up there on Vashon Island. They have 15 acres overlooking the Puget Sound. Isn't it gorgeous? It's spectacular. Where is this? Vashon Island, it's a ferry ride from Seattle. Yeah. And it's very beautiful, very artistic. It's actually, when I started comedy, when I was brand, brand new, it was one of the very first shows where they just loved me. Great. Because it's more of an intellectual, you know, academic type, you know, they're smarter, they're artists. They're a hippie artist crowd out there. Yeah, but they're like, they're older hippies. They're not the hippies where you just start doing drugs at nine and you think you're hippie because you tear your jeans. They're hippies that actually understand the issues and they're, you know, and so, so I was, I do more, I try to do more smarter jokes and it was one of the first times because I was doing places like the biker bars and shit where the place, the whole bar looks like Willie Nelson. wherever you get up. Yeah, I mean, it looks like a Willie Nelson lookalike competition. Willie, Willie, Nilly, Vanilly, Dilly, you know what I'm saying? Pop and pop going inside your motherfucking head. You know what I'm saying? Taking all the bed bugs out your bed, cleaning your sheets. You know what I mean? In between the motherfucking toenails fungus, you don't stop, superfluous. Yeah. We jamming, we rocking, we doing our shit live. Know what I'm saying? To all you authentic stand-up comedians doing authentic comedy in front of people that look like cast members from Lost and Game of Thrones out in the middle of nowhere. Yo, seriously? Big up. Big up to all you live performance artists. Big up. Big the fuck up. Stand-up comedians, live theater actors. Live and direct. Big up to all you ballet dancers. Big up to all you musicians. You musical folk that get up in the fucking morning and don't give a fuck about the sense of purpose but create one. Big up to all you parking lot attendants attending the parking lots and parking the cars, man. Big up to all you Mexican parking attendants in Los Angeles. Big up. You make our lives easier. I like to live in America. Don't get by me in America. Travel in a room in America. America. You forget I'm in America. There you go. A little West Side Story. That's why, the real reason I invited Jack once I knew who he was after I was being kind to a homeless person on the street is because I knew that he had multiple personalities. I could just tell within five minutes when he was asking us for money. Right, Salmon? Yeah. He was asking us for change. I gave him a couple of lint balls. Not the hairy fuzzy ones but the chocolate ones. Big up for lint balls. Big up for lint balls. I'm talking about the lint balls. I'm talking about the lint balls. I'm talking about the lint balls. Yeah, listen, if you feel like. Big up for Lucille Ball. Big up for Lucille Ball. Big up, big, big up. Big up for basketball. Big up for basketball. Big up for baseball. Big up for baseball. Big up to ballistic missiles. Big up for ballistic missiles. Big up for New Year's ball. Big up, big up for monster's ball. Big up for bald head motherfuckers. Big up for ball sack. That's why I'm telling you. This is what I'm talking about here on this story is public radio, you know, but listen, uh, dude, Jack has so many fucking things going on in his life. I, you know, seriously, we all, all jokes aside, we here at Nestorius public radio, we're really grateful to, I'm grateful and, and, and I'm blessed that I know you. I love you. I love you. Seriously. I'm grateful. Uh, you, you're a humanitarian. You, you, you volunteer your time. Every time I see you, you're doing some shit. You do an annual, at least one that I know of a volunteer, not a volunteer, but a fundraiser for a local LAP, LA, uh, FD, uh, uh, uh, chief. Was he a chief? He was a captain that passed away in the line of duty. Actually, he was a firefighter. I'm hooked up with it. Yeah. He's a guy named Glenn Allen who, uh, who, uh, came to help my wife a couple of years ago on, uh, on, uh, Fryman Canyon. We were hiking and my wife and I were hiking on a Superbowl Sunday and, uh, she just took a, just slid. I mean, she wasn't on a big incline. She slid on the gravel and, and she hit a certain way where she broke a left hip and a left wrist on Superbowl Sunday. Oh, shit. There goes all the tortilla chips. There goes all the hot dogs, the hamburgers. There go all the grubbing motherfuckers that are going to be knocking on your door. Beat up your football. So wait, you, we, we, we, we. Beat up your Superbowl. Beat up the game. We get all the balls except football and Superbowl. We get all the numbers. Football. So wait. You know what? Hold on. Beat the fuck up those soccer balls. All right. So you missed the Super Bowl to go hiking? No. No, no. What I did is I went up on the hike before the Super Bowl. Once my wife fell down, I said, I'll be back in four hours. Yeah. And I came back. Actually, I came back at halftime, so I was only out for an hour and a half. No, we took her to the, we took her, actually, we called the ambulance. They had to come all the way up the hill and come up and navigate that hill and brought the ambulance up there. And the guy that came out of there was a guy named Glenn Allen, who took care of her and brought her to the emergency room. And about a week later, usually what you do, having been a fireman, you go back to that firehouse and you want to buy them a meal and thank the guys for that. Pick up a meal for them and bring it in and say thanks. And I went back up there and I found out that three days after he came and helped her on the mountain, that he was the guy that was killed in that Hollywood Hills fire where they lost the fireman. Oh, shit. And when was this? A couple years back? It was two years ago. Oh, two years. Giants? Yes. When the Giants were in the Super Bowl? No, no. The Giants weren't in it then. No, the Giants weren't. I don't know. No, I don't know exactly when. It's all cloudy. But that. That's. That's. That was the reality. Is that this guy that came to help out. And I do a musical thing every year at my house. And I just turned it from a musical event that I like to do, a March Music Madness. And there was a purpose for me now. So two years ago, we turned it into a bit of a fundraiser. And then this year we did it again. And we were able to raise so far about $5,500. Damn. Two different days. For his grandchild was born two days after he was buried. Oh, right, right, right. So there's a little kid there that Nate was there. So we do that. Yeah. You know what? Big up for musical madness. Big the fuck up. Is there. Is there a place. Do you have a website where people can volunteer? No, I don't. Because it's still. It's done in my house. But I think what I'm going to do is I may move it out of my house. Because you were there. You guys were so great to come by later and help us. I always come by after it's over to help you put your shit together. Because I love you, man. I tell you it's late. Because I love you. Everybody else comes at noon. I tell you it doesn't start till five. That's how we roll. But what happens is that now it's gotten so big that I think I may have to move it to another venue. In that case, then maybe I put up a website. But right now, it's just kind of a. It's kind of like a grassroots type of thing. And and a lot of people that I know come in. There's 50 musicians that come in and play music all day. Music from the 60s. Yeah. And it's a great day. Yeah. Yeah. And I think about doing stuff for other people. Yeah. Well, you got to do that. Yeah. In order for me to keep what I got and the goodness and the and all the great things that I have in my life, like you and now the cough man. I have to give it away. Leave it up the coffin. Leave it up the coffin. Leave it up the coffin. Well, you know what? And that reefer was good. Coughing on a Sunday afternoon. Hold on. I know that. Back up. Back up to the wrestlers. Could you please. Could you please give us the the deceased firefighters name again? His name is Glenn Allen. Glenn Allen. Big up to you in the beautiful resting place that you may not be now that you may now be. Big up to your family. Big up to all the firefighters that volunteer that, you know, most people don't do that. I don't do that. I don't do that. I don't do that. people don't know this, but in major cities, the tax dollars go to paying the firefighters. Right. In a lot of towns. Right. And a lot of cities. Like these wildfires just happened. A lot of them are volunteers. Volunteer. Volunteer. Now, I want to take a moment of silence, and I'm being serious, okay? Big up. You know what I'm saying? Big up. Thanks, man. Hey, caller, how are you? Hey, how are you doing? I'm doing fantabulous. What's your name? Where are you calling from? Hi, Nestor. This is Tom Houghton. Hey, Jack. It's Tom Houghton. How are you? Tom Houghton. What's up, baby? What are you doing, Tommy? I'm hanging out, trying to take a nap, and here you guys are on the air. I can't sleep. Oh, man. I miss you. Tom, what are you doing, man? Are you fucking slinging scripts? So what are you doing? I'm in New York. You're in New York? You're in a tent. Are you in a tent right now? No. No. Because usually you spend a lot of time in a tent when you're on the set. Tom lives in Harlem. You know that? Right? I know that. I've been to his house. What is it, 127th? Close. Behind the Apollo, in the 30s. Just so you know, Tom Houghton is one of the most amazing- Director of photography? Yeah. DPs in TV. He worked for a lot of all those years on Rescue Me. Rescue Me. Yeah. Okay. I lived on 119th and Lenox. Yeah. That's when they started to allow Jews in that area. But the Jews owned all the property. Actually, not in Harlem. No, not in Harlem. Go ahead, Tom. No, Jack, you were here? Yeah. You saw that you helped burn that. We had a fire here. Yeah, we used Tom's house as part of a, when he was starting to renovate it, and it was still gutted. Oh, wow. They used that as one of the fire scenes. Oh, really? And they created fire in a couple of the windows there. Oh, wow. Yeah, it was great. It was great. Tommy, I'm coming back there for a couple of days at the end of May. Are you going to be home then? Give me a call. You never know. Please. No, I miss you. Yeah, I'd love to see you and your girl. Tom, can I give you a call, too? Yeah, sure. Tell Rosemary Ken, too. Rosemary. Rosemary Ken, too. Actually, you know, if all works out well, Jack is in a new pilot that if it gets picked up, what's the name of the pilot? It's called the McCarthy's for CBS. We'll know this week. All right. If it gets picked up, and we'll get back on there, I want to let you get back to your nap, Tom. But if it gets picked up, Jack is going to be in New York at the end of the week. That'd be Friday, and I'm going to New York tomorrow, so who knows? We might take you out for a papaya king hot dog. I shot the Jim Gavigan pilot. Oh, you shot it with Peter Tolan. Yeah. Wow. So I imagine it's either going to be him or us. Wow. I know. I know. So, Jack, you know, I was watching Gangster Squad, and I heard you before I saw you in that movie. Yeah. I said, that's got to be Jack in that scene, and there it was. Now, see, that's, now you see that? That right there, that's a gift. That's a gift. Well, Tommy, how is it a gift? But that's a gift, to have the voice, that when the fucking audio edited, audio is edited slightly before the fucking scene. No, he was off camera. Jack was off camera. Okay, okay, okay. In another room. Got it. And he was shouting. He was probably shouting. Right. He was yelling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I said, wait a minute. That's Jack. That's funny, because you never, you know, you don't realize what you sound like, and then I get that a lot from a lot of people, friends and family, too, say, oh, it was in the other room, and I didn't, you know, so, but apparently it's been distinctive, and I'm still fooling them. Tommy, it's great to hear from you. Yeah, but you guys take care. Nestor, good luck on the show. Thank you, Tom. Man, thank you so much for calling and listening in, man. Big fan. Big fan. Big up.

So my man mentioned Gangsta Squad. Yeah. We're going to, we have about, we have about, we have about 17 minutes left to the show. Right. So we can get into this a little bit. Right. You know, actually, no, we're going to get into something else because, because, because the topic that I'm going to get into about Gangsta Squad and violence and all that stuff, that, that, that, that's going to be for the next episode. Okay. But we're going to get into a little bit of the news. That's not in for now. We're going to get into the news. Something happened that's pretty, that's pretty crazy. This past week, there was a limousine that blew up or, or, or ignited. Right. On a bridge, San Mateo Bridge in San Francisco. Right. And it's kind of, it's kind of a trip. You know what I mean? Because there were, I think, eight or nine women. Right. That's tough. It's supposed to have eight or nine. Right. They just found that there was another one. Well, they just, yeah, the report meant there was one over. Right. So, so there was eight, initially eight women, and then they just found that there was another one. Anyway, so the limo, the limo driver, I mean, it's a big limo. I'm looking at the fucking picture. It's one of them big ass ones. It's one of them big fucking, and the name of the company, if I'm not mistaken, was Stop Limo Company. Well, they did. Not a good name, guys. Not a good name. Stop Limo? Come on. You know? Anyway. Look, first of all, we're going to take a moment of silence, and we're going to do a rest in peace for the, I believe, four or five women that passed, right? It was a bachelorette party for- The bride. The bride died, isn't it? For the bride to be. Yeah. And she passed. I believe, I believe, let me see if I can find the woman's name. I'll find the woman's name in a minute. But I want to give a moment of silence to the- To the people, to the women that passed away, and the people who got injured. You know, that's a sad thing. And the people that got left behind. And the people that got left behind. Yeah, the family. The family. So, just a little big up. You know, we're going to go all over the place here. And that must have been a horrible, horrible thing, too, as well. Do it. Because they were, the way their structure is that the only two exit doors are in the back. Yo, that's crazy. And some of them used to have them where they had one up front, too. Right. But they, the ones, a couple of girls that got out. And they got out by climbing through the window in the front. Right. And, but the other girls weren't able to, because that's the part that ignited. Right. Right, right, right, right. Anyway, yeah. So, I'm going to read a little bit of this, about this shit. Basically, a limousine taking nine women to a bachelorette party erupted in flames, killing five of the passengers, including the bride-to-be. Authorities and the mother of one of the survivors said Sunday. The limo caught fire at around 10 p.m. Saturday on one of the busiest bridges on San Francisco Bay, the California Patrol officer Art Montiel told the Associated Press. Five of the women were trapped, but the four other women managed to get out after the vehicle came to a stop on the San Mateo Haywood Bridge, the patrol said. That's crazy, because those fucking bridges in San Francisco, I mean, you think traffic in L.A. is crazy. Right. Those bridges are like bumper to bumper. You ever try to get into San Francisco? Right. Or out of San Francisco? But I imagine that once they saw that thing pull over, then people stopped or. No, no, I know, no. Yeah. Yeah. They had no choice. They had to stop. But I'm just saying that must have been some scene. Right. That must have been some scene. Anyway, Rosita Guardiano told the San Francisco Chronicle that the woman for whom the bachelorette party was being thrown was to be married next month. Guardiano said her daughter was one of the survivors. Investigators haven't determined what sparked the fire, but the patrol said that the white stretched limo became engulfed in flames after smoke started coming out of the rear of the vehicle. All right. We're not going to get too much into this. The reason I brought this up is going back to the fact that you are that you were a firefighter. What is the first step that a firefighter? I know you were a firefighter in New York. And although I know primarily fires in cities are usually buildings and stuff like that, you don't really have too many. Well, you get car fires, you know, but you certainly I've never heard about a crack and shit. Yeah, but I haven't heard of any any anything with a limousine. Certainly not as tragic as this. But I have been part of fires at a at a social club where there was 98 people that were killed. Yeah. And the doors were locked. What you're talking about? You're talking about the happy land. Down the happy land. Happy land. Happy land in the South Bronx. That's a fucking. And not having been to it myself, but I know the guy I worked with, the guys that were the lieutenant that was actually lieutenant at that fire. Right. And then the exit gates, one of the entrances was locked up. Right. Right. You know, and once the fire, the fire starts, if the fire starts in this room and it's at that door. That's the only door. Well, there's only a couple. There's only a couple of things to do. And I can't see. You can't breathe. You got to find a path of egress. Keep low. And if the fire is there, you know, and you got to be careful. And if you open the door and air comes in. Yeah. So, you know, all jokes aside, though, all jokes aside, not many people are prepared for fires. Right. Even though in schools. Right. Right. We were taught fire drills and we took it as a joke. We have a call. OK, we we we were we were. We were taking those things as a joke. But the truth of the matter is, ask yourselves out there in iPod land, podcast land in Skid Row Studios dot com land, Internet land, Google land. Ask yourselves this. How many of you are actually prepared in the event of a fire? Do you really know what the nearest exit is to wherever you are in the event of a fire? Well, it always, you know, it always it's it's it's always a thing. I become more conscious of it when my wife and I go away to a hotel. I know where they. Where the staircase is just because you look for the exit sign. I look for the free water bottle. The free water bottle. Yeah, that's the first thing. I look for the hot tub. No, I look for like I'm like I'm like, yo, they didn't give us a fucking free water bottle. Big up to the water. No, big up, big up. No, because you're at a motel. No, no, no. Seriously. Back to the fucking serious thing. No, seriously. What I look for. Usually I go to different nice, nicer hotels, except if I'm on the road. Right. With comedians. If you don't care, if it's just to drop your hat. Motel 3.2. I always look for. If they're paying. I always look for. You know, I'm an electrician by trade. So I'm always. One of the things I look for is just aesthetic. The lighting. Who did the conduit? Right. Did they have done it better? Right. Receptacles. Are they missing a plate? Right. Shit like that. Right. But when I go to a hotel, I always look for smoke detectors. Right. Always look. Right. Always look for smoke detectors. And I look to see if that red light is blinking. Right. Because if it's blinking, it's connected. It's on. There's electricity. Right. Usually it's hardwired and it's working. If it's a battery powered one, if it's blinking, it's working. Right. So I look for that. I look for paths of egress. Definitely. And I always look to see if there are fire extinguishers along the hallway. In the cheap motels. Right. In the big motels. In the big hotels. You know, resorts. They have sprinklers. Well, most of them have sprinklers now too. But the other fire there is just in case to try to contain it. Right. Right. To contain it. Yeah. To wet it down. To wet it down. But seriously, all jokes aside, if you own a home. Right. If you live in a home. If you live in an apartment complex. If you live in a building in New York City. Think about it. You just said, where are you going to go? Right. If there's a fire. I mean, World Trade Center is a perfect example. Right. Above a certain floor. Well. It was engulfed in flames. Where are you going to go? Right. You know what I mean? There's nowhere for it to go. There's nowhere to go. That was something that was so monumental. That's another topic. Yeah. That's another topic. Yeah, sure. And they've become more and more prepared for that. Right. With the way they, you know, with the sandpipe system. Right. Because, you know, when that got hit, everything, nothing was working. Right. The standpipe. Explain that to us. Well, the standpipe is a system that comes up through the building. And it tees off at every floor. So they can, the fire department can feed the water. Open up the gates to the water system. So it can be pumped up a hundred floors. It's a water pipe that carries water all the way up to the top of the building. That's eight to ten inches wide. Right. It's red. High powered. If you're smoking crack in the stairwell. You're probably sitting on it. You've seen it. It's a big fat red. Yeah, you've seen it. Right. Because if you, you know who you guys are. You've seen this shit. And that feeds at least every other floor. Maybe the even numbered floors all the way up. And then maybe you just have to get, you still have to get up to sometimes 15, 20 stories with the hose lens just to hook it up. Right. Because there are mail feeds to every one of those standpipes. Yeah, there are caps. There are caps. Right. Yeah. And the other thing that as a, when I was working in big skyscrapers and in the financial district, especially because they move, Goldman Sachs, all these places, they move like from fucking month to month. They tear down floors and blah, blah, blah. And you have to bring conduit, fire, standpipes, all sorts of shit from floor to floor. When you cordial holes in those concrete floors about fucking three feet thick. Right. You need to seal off those holes because wherever there's a path of air, fire can, can, can escape. Right. So one of the jobs I had was to put this fireproofing wall barrier. This, this like a red clay. Right. Looking thing that's, that, that's you were the apprentice doing that, right? No, no, no, no, no, no. I was a journeyman. I was getting paid 65 motherfucking dollars an hour to drill six holes. Right. That was the tiddiest job I've ever had, man. Yo, straight up, straight up. About 15 years ago, I was like 20 years old and we had this, me and my friend, we took these two chicks to this holiday inn. Yeah. I said a hotel, motel, holiday inn. I said if your girl starts acting up, then you take her friend. Yeah. I'm S-G, I'm on Melro, it's on you, so what you gonna do, well, it's on and on and on and on, like the hot butter, the pop, the pop, the pop, dibby, dibby, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, you just don't stop, come alive, y'all. Tell me what you got. Ha! So, basically, we took, we took these chicks out and we were having this, like, hotel party, getting wasted all night, smoking, Don't say hotel again, because then I'm going to be fucking, don't say the word, Hotel, motel, holiday inn. I said I'd fucking stop acting up. We shock you in the chin. And that's the G. I'm on mellow. It's on you. So what you gonna do? Well, it's on and on and on and on. Like the hot butter, the pop, the pop, the pop. Dibby dibby pop, pop, pop, pop. You just don't stop. I come alive, y'all. I'll tell you what you got. Get on the mic, cause you know you eat jello. Yeah, I got my man in the hands. I'm a fellow. All right. So basically, so we take and, you know, like one of those like impromptu. Shoot that fist. Ha ha ha, mellow. You know, one of those impromptu hotel parties where you're smoking pot. Don't say the word hotel. Shut the fuck up. Don't say the word hotel. Okay, we were staying in a building with a room. Okay. You know, one of those crazy parties where you're smoking pot out of a pop can and like making out with, hooking up with chicks. And so we crashed out at like four o'clock in the morning. You got time for that? It was like 11. It was like 11. And I hear this pounding and I wake up, everyone else is passed out. And I'm like, what the hell? I'm like mad. I'm like, what the hell is that pounding waking me up at 11 and 11 o'clock? Was somebody fucking? No, listen. Okay. Can we get some Adderall? Can we get Neskis some Adderall, please? Anyone have an extra pill for the gentleman? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. So I look out the window and there's all these people on the street corner and all these fire trucks. I'm like, hmm. And I hear this pounding. I'd say to my, and so I'm like, I wonder what's going on. What's out in the hall? So I opened the door and there's smoke everywhere. I shut the door and I'm like, hey guys, I think you should wake up. I think there's a fire. So we get up all like crusty, like what? And we're like, well, what the fuck did we do? Everyone, we were the last to find out. For some reason, back to smoke detectors, maybe ours wasn't working or something. So we're sitting there crashed out half naked in a hotel room after a wild night of scrabble. You know, you know, things that youth do these days. Right. Right. And so we come out and the firefighters are like, what the hell are you doing in here? We're like, don't tell our moms, you know? Yeah. And then, and then they guided us out and it was just nuts, dude. We woke up like wasted, half naked in a hotel on fire. Yeah. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. You caught the fire in the hotel in the holiday. That's right. Hey, I got, I got a post on my Facebook page. Do you know Jimmy Noonan? You know, you got to know Jimmy Noonan. I think I do. If you see his face, he's an actor. He's. If you see this face. You know him. Big up. Big up Jimmy Noonan, you bald head motherfucker. Big up your big bald head bouncer looking fuck. Big up. Big up Jimmy Noonan. I think he was in the, in the Grifters. He played the bartender in the Grifters. Noonan. Yeah. On a Sunday afternoon. Anyway, he wanted to know to, to throw in Moneyball. He wants you to say a word or two about Moneyball. Moneyball. Baseball. Baseball. Moneyboy. Play the scout. Got a call. Worked three, four days on it. A lot of fun. Had worked with Brad Pitt before. It was a great experience. Good for the residuals. Later. Catching. Yeah. Catching. But it's a lot easier to win games when you're in the same division as the fucking Seattle Mariners. That's true. Piece of shit fucking team with a fuck stick owner. Piece of shit. Oh shit. Fuck the Mariners. Sounds like somebody's got to talk to his sponsor. You know what? You know what? You know what?
