Speaker 2 We

Speaker 2 On this episode of the Commercial Break.

Speaker 2 In the one and only review that I could find anywhere in the world about the movie The Rally LA Breaking the Curse, the reviewer who works for the faith and family-focused review site Dove.org awards the movie its coveted faith-based seal, but warns the viewer that there is some objectionable content.

Speaker 2 However, that doesn't stop the reviewer from giving the seal because God will forgive anyone of their sins. All they have to do is ask.

Speaker 2 I'm not sure if Kenneth Copeland, Eric Roberts, or Rick Reina, the director and writer, have asked for forgiveness, but I really don't give a shit.

Speaker 2 Welcome to the very first TCB Minus, where Chrissy and I break down an entire television show or movie streaming and here on the podcast.

Speaker 2 However, we must have smited God because he did not allow us to stream this.

Speaker 2 We were plagued with technical issues and frustrations, a swarm of landscapers and poolmen, evil beasts in the form of Yorkies, and the plague in the form of a nasty staph infection running around my house.

Speaker 2 All of these Satan-based things came to attack us right as we were about to go live. So if you were one of the very few that was probably waiting to watch the stream, our apologies.

Speaker 2 We'll figure it out and get it right down the road. It's just about par for the course, but as promised, here's your bonus episode of TCB Minus, and this is just part one.

Speaker 2 Part two will come out next weekend, and we'll have more fun at the expense of the terrible acting, atrocious directing, and miserable story that is the Rally LA breaking the curse.

Speaker 2 Get your popcorn and refill your white claw, kids. This one's gonna be good.
Without any further ado, the very first TCB Minus.

Speaker 2 The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.

Speaker 2 Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene.

Speaker 2 This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris Joy Holy, only one hour late, a day late, and a dollar short. And best to you, Brian.
And best to you out there in the podcast universe.

Speaker 2 Add that to a long laundry list of things that have just not gone our way. Oh my god, it's been a comedy of errors.
Oh man, I'll tell you what. I don't know what to say.

Speaker 2 This is our second time now watching the friendly. release.

Speaker 2 Because we didn't

Speaker 2 quite press record on the first one.

Speaker 2 After we couldn't get the live to work. So we apologize to everyone, all

Speaker 2 20. All seven of you who actually tried to log on.
20 people that liked it on Instagram. Yeah, 20 people that liked it on Instagram.

Speaker 2 I know a couple people texted, and I've already texted you back personally myself to let you know that because of the pool guy, the lawn guy, the dog, Astrid,

Speaker 2 the kids in the tub, my in-laws yelling and screaming, all of it just kind of came together right at 4.58. And then the second we tried to go stream,

Speaker 2 we just lost it.

Speaker 2 It just blew up. We rebooted.
We unplugged wire. If you know, you know.
I-K-Y-N-K-D-N-K-Y.

Speaker 2 If you know, you do not know that Brian and Chrissy very.

Speaker 2 I was laughing to myself so hard thinking this is an episode of something. Oh, wait, it's our show.
It's an episode of our show.

Speaker 2 Yes, that's right. It's another episode of the commercial break.
See, when we do just exactly what we always do, everything goes fine. Exactly.
Whenever we get into

Speaker 2 Scientology

Speaker 2 or Kenny Copeland, apparently things go sideways.

Speaker 2 It's also a full moon, I think, coming up. Oh, yeah, the third moon and the second phase of Mars.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Mercury rising. Elon Starlink.
Yes, or whatever all the new age witches are going to come out on Instagram and tell us is going on. Anyway, Elon Star Link messing with our head for sure.

Speaker 2 Okay, but here we are. Bonus episode.
We're TCB minus today. We are here with you to review, to break down the reaction video for Rally LA.
Now,

Speaker 2 in the first version of this that you didn't hear because it wasn't recorded, I told you what the movie was about via IMTV.

Speaker 2 Oh, I did that pretty good. That was my actual voice.

Speaker 2 But I'm not going to do that this time. You know what I'm going to say? I'm going to say that Kenneth Copeland is a reformed drug kingpin.

Speaker 2 His brother, Eric Roberts, is a non-reformed drug kingpin, still active. And Kenny Copeland is now trying to use the word of the Lord.
to slay his enemies on the streets. This movie's called Rally LA.

Speaker 2 It's part two of a series of... Streaming nowhere.
Streaming absolutely. That's

Speaker 2 really why we believe this has not gone well is because I actually had to buy an external drive to play this DVD on the computer, then try and stream it through a television broadcasting software that just did not play nice from the beginning.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 we tried to sheen it. Yeah, we tried to go to sheen.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 it only cost $22 and it melted when we got water on it.

Speaker 2 And Brian got a speeding ticket. I got a speeding ticket.
Try and get six buying back. Quick, quick.

Speaker 2 We are $600 in the hole on this episode, and there is zero chance we're going to make that back no matter how much merch we sell.

Speaker 2 If everyone who is supposed to stream bought merch, we would have just done better. So, okay.
Shop TCBPodcast.com. The pre-order window is open now until the 22nd.
So if you can, great.

Speaker 2 If you can't, wonderful. If I sound a little fussy, I am.

Speaker 2 I'm old. It's past my bedtime.
I'm still drinking. Yeah, that's true.
Chrissy's not food.

Speaker 2 All right. So if I sound a little fussy and she sounds a little drunk, it's because we are.
All right. So let's not delay.
Let's get into the Rally L.A.

Speaker 2 I'm dropping this right in your slot on a Saturday afternoon.

Speaker 2 Sliding right in. Sliding right in your slot.

Speaker 2 Ah, to slide into a slot.

Speaker 2 Let's go. Let's watch this movie.
This is Rally L.A. Starting from the beginning, kids.

Speaker 2 There's Louisiana State. Set the scene.
Louisiana State Penitentiary.

Speaker 2 Angola. Which is supposedly one of the worst prisons in the world.

Speaker 2 But it doesn't look that bad to me. No.
This is not really Angola that they're filming in. But here we go from the beginning.

Speaker 2 Is that a harp? Yes. It's a Spanish harp.

Speaker 2 Okay, now let me set the scene. Kenneth Copeland is, for some reason, sitting outside an elevator.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And two guards are bringing in a prisoner up the elevator, and he's just sitting at a desk right by the elevator. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 And Brian knows that's Kenneth Copeland because of the wave on the back of his. I know his quaffed to pay anywhere.
I know that quaffed, unless that is a stunt head.

Speaker 2 Kenny doesn't do his own stunts. Yes.
Now, look at the guards. They have absolutely nothing on.
They have no weapons of any kind out there. No, the one guy had like a stick, like a walk

Speaker 2 for a blind person. Oh, he did? Yeah.
Oh, well, you know, they paid Eric Roberts all the money, so they don't have any prop budget.

Speaker 2 President sitting down, yeah, he's Latino with a

Speaker 2 like a braid. Yeah, he's actually, I don't think he's Latino, I just think he's extra tan.
Okay, okay, he's meant to be Latino. Yes, everyone's meant to be Latino, but they all have Italian accents.

Speaker 2 It's kind of weird, but okay.

Speaker 2 That's why I'm here, boy. That's why I'm here.
But

Speaker 2 that's why I'm here, boy. That's why I'm here.

Speaker 2 Do you believe that God raised Jesus from the

Speaker 2 Yes, Papa. You believe that with all your heart? Yes.

Speaker 2 I still don't get this part, and this is the third, fourth time we've watched this. Yeah, seventh time we've watched this, yeah.
But is that his real dad? Is it Papa?

Speaker 2 Or is that he's just like a you know

Speaker 2 godfather? No, I think it's his real dad. Because of what happens later, I think it's his real dad.
But I'll say that.

Speaker 2 No, they look nothing alike.

Speaker 2 Copeland is not a Spanish name. I'm just throwing that out there.

Speaker 2 I'm sure of it. Coblandia? Coblandia.

Speaker 2 Stay forward. From this, stay forward.

Speaker 2 I am a believer.

Speaker 2 I am a believer. I am a man of God.
I am a man of God.

Speaker 2 I am a Christian.

Speaker 2 And I don't. I have terrible gas.
He's cross-eyed, isn't he? He is. Yeah,

Speaker 2 he's kind of cross-eyed. He's cross-something.
Gary knows about it. I don't care who knows about it.
I pray this prayer. I pray this prayer.
In the name of Jesus.

Speaker 2 Which prayer is I'm Christian and I don't care who knows about it.

Speaker 2 That was Moses 3.17.

Speaker 2 Ezekiel 32.45.

Speaker 2 Amen.

Speaker 2 Amen.

Speaker 2 I laugh at you, Daddy.

Speaker 2 The guy is laughing. I mean, his eyes are laughing.

Speaker 2 His mouth isn't.

Speaker 2 His eyes are laughing. Yeah, he's even got a smirk at his mouth.
This guy is like, what did my agent get me into? Yeah.

Speaker 2 So there you go. Kenny and his son sit down at Angola State Penitentiary, which, by the way, is in Louisiana, and then they're in LA for some reason.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay. Now I'm going to fast forward to this part because no one cares.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no one cares about it. It's between, just to give you a recap, it's between the driver, the driver pulls up in an Infinity Infinity 1992, Infinity SUV.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, so now we're going through the beginning of the movie.

Speaker 2 No, I'm not going to skip through that part. Oh, yeah, I should skip through that part.
No one else. The driver.
Okay, here's the driver. The driver's Rick Reina.

Speaker 2 Okay, I'm going to skip through the part where they're talking about all the people that are in the movie. Who cares about that?

Speaker 2 It's a good day. Oh, yeah.
It's a good day. Yes.

Speaker 2 It's a good day. Oh, man.
It's a good day now. Let's go to this trip club and bang some huggers.
Yay. Oh, Henry, can you do something for me?

Speaker 2 That's going to be so terrible. Can you do something for me? Can you get me a little toot toot snoot snoot? A little tasty tiny.

Speaker 2 Can you call D. Yeah, do you have any extra Viagra? The little blue pills make your penis hard for the Lord.

Speaker 2 He's wearing his white

Speaker 2 patent shoes. White patent shoes.
Kenny Copeland is, they're standing outside Angola State Penitentiary

Speaker 2 with his driver, played by Rick Raina, the director of this movie.

Speaker 2 And he's just announcing that his son has been saved

Speaker 2 by the Lord. Good news.
Thank the Lord. Good news.

Speaker 2 Love

Speaker 2 your

Speaker 2 family.

Speaker 2 Amen.

Speaker 2 Yes, sir.

Speaker 2 Don't

Speaker 2 lose

Speaker 2 your kid.

Speaker 2 Don't lose your children. He's pointing to the prison as if like.

Speaker 2 Where did my kids go? I lost that damn kid again. Where is he? Angola State Penitentiary.

Speaker 2 Did he say don't lose your children? He said, don't lose your children. That's what he said.

Speaker 2 Good advice. That is good advice.
Brian.

Speaker 2 Hey.

Speaker 2 Hey, guilty. You've got 30.
There is something

Speaker 2 that I must do.

Speaker 2 I should have done 20 years ago. Taking a shit.
Prostate example.

Speaker 2 We were in the same direction.

Speaker 2 I'm going to be away for a while.

Speaker 2 Can you get me my colour guard box?

Speaker 2 I'm going to be away for a while. Amen.
Amen.

Speaker 2 They say amen. Yeah.
Amen.

Speaker 2 Take me home. I hate people who say amen, like as if they've just prayed something.

Speaker 2 Take me home.

Speaker 2 Kerlgun, take me away.

Speaker 2 It really is. Like, what? That's no.
That's an Uber black. Yeah, that's a 1992

Speaker 2 Aho.

Speaker 2 It's got this D-Rack on top. It's got dealer plates on the back.
Of course it does.

Speaker 2 Here we go. Now we're getting to the meat of things.
Now we get into the meat and potato of the movie. Amen.
Amen.

Speaker 2 For the Lord.

Speaker 2 Okay, now we're at a house.

Speaker 2 There's a nondescript white man walking up to the door.

Speaker 2 Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul.
Here's these pornos you were looking for.

Speaker 2 Thanks. See you on Monday.
See you on Monday. Oh, I almost forgot.

Speaker 2 Congratulations on your re-election. Oh, so we know he's political now.
In page number 33, there's a great ass shot.

Speaker 2 I just jizzed. Why did they have the church door? Okay, boys.
Because it's all

Speaker 2 symbology. Also, it looks up to say that they're in my parents' house back in the 90s.
It's open

Speaker 2 with

Speaker 2 the dining room table from Haverty's and the overstuffed chairs. That was a set

Speaker 2 that came together, including those pictures in the back.

Speaker 2 I think you're right about this. I think they literally rented this from Haverty's.

Speaker 2 And they're probably in a house that's for sale because I used to rent my house out to movies for sale. My house was for sale.

Speaker 2 And so, anyway, it's a mixed group of people just sitting at a men at a table.

Speaker 2 Some dressed in t-shirts, one guy in a penguin suit, one black guy, five white guys

Speaker 2 Uh-huh, there's a guy in the suspenders. Yes

Speaker 2 Let's get to it.

Speaker 2 I got somewhere to be

Speaker 2 Okay, when the shipment gets in we'll split it into three smaller loads. When's it get in? He said

Speaker 2 he said loads. He just said loads

Speaker 2 I'll let you know

Speaker 2 Wait You mean to tell me you were not tracking our drugs? Damn it.

Speaker 1 That's important information.

Speaker 2 He's like police. Yeah.
He seems like police. He is police.
Listen, I told you. I'll be in charge of the tracking of the drugs, and I'm not tracking the drugs.

Speaker 2 He's got the military cut, but everybody else is bald. Yeah, everyone else is bald.

Speaker 2 That's the look.

Speaker 2 That's the look of drug cartel Chrissy. Well, look at me.
Now I see. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Remember, the second shipment will come up to here. That's the one we need stopped.
The other two can stop that shipment. Stop that shipment.

Speaker 2 That my boys ready when it comes. And that makes for a great news story, gentlemen.
And Robert will have yet another accolade.

Speaker 3 Offer my city.

Speaker 2 Offer my city. All right, now look.
Is he the mayor? Yeah. And that's when Todd does his press conference in his women's panties.

Speaker 2 Shipments will move through.

Speaker 2 First, into Las Vegas. Second.

Speaker 2 Up to Chicago.

Speaker 2 That's hilarious. They have a map laid out on the table, on this darkwood 1990s table.
And he's pointing to one part of the map that's just a map of Chicago, it looks like.

Speaker 2 Yeah, or it doesn't even look like it might be a map of Chicago. It's probably a map of a township.
And he points to one and he says, Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 And then he takes his finger and he goes up two inches and he goes, Chicago. Because Chicago and Vegas are right next to it.

Speaker 2 Don't worry, Paul. This is definitely a model.

Speaker 2 For sure. I don't need the money.
Right.

Speaker 2 You're second-term security. Oh, you know.
In the picture now, we see Eric Roberts step up. With his cigarette vape pen.

Speaker 2 I've never seen a vape that looks like an actual cigarette. I mean, I know they exist, but that's just a weird thing.

Speaker 2 He's got his wine glass of sherry. Gentlemen.

Speaker 2 Swirly.

Speaker 2 It's funny how we grumble over such trivial things.

Speaker 2 Trivial things like where your drugs are.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, wait, when's the shipment coming in? That's the most important

Speaker 2 stuff, not trivial. Yeah, which city it happens to be in.

Speaker 2 It's funny. Las Vegas, Chicago, who cares? Why are we grumbling? Why are we quibbling? We've got more important things to worry about, like candy.

Speaker 2 Life's about so much more, don't you think?

Speaker 2 As kids, we think the world is ours.

Speaker 2 Our pen and struggle, but with the kids, we don't see the struggle.

Speaker 2 We live our lives. If they're brothers, why does one have a Mexican accent and the other one have a Slavian accent?

Speaker 2 A bunch of bottles, just undescript bottles, no name bottles. By the way, and if you look at all the different shots that they're taking, like from one side to the other side, the bottles are always

Speaker 2 the same, in a different shot. They're moving the bottles around the table.
But I don't get why the two brothers have different accents. Who are the brothers?

Speaker 2 Kenny Copeland and him are brothers in the movie. Eric Roberts.
Because they don't really have accents, but it's true.

Speaker 2 They're fading in and out. As if we're at an amusement park, running from ride to ride, stuffing on the face of the camera.
Eric's really gone into it. He's gone Stanislavski method or whatever.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 You can tell that he's like, he's doing the

Speaker 2 method acting here. He's gone on the streets.
He's done a lot of blow.

Speaker 2 Which I think is true.

Speaker 2 Oh, Eric Roberts? Oh, God. Look at him.

Speaker 2 Our candy

Speaker 2 is drugs.

Speaker 2 Because every kingpin calls their drugs drugs. It's our source.

Speaker 2 People need it like kids need the candy. It's unsourced.
It's unsourced. I'm not sure what that means.
I don't know, but I think drugs are sourced. I'm pretty sure they are.
Somewhere. Somewhere.

Speaker 2 Struggle?

Speaker 2 Not in this room. Not one man here wants for anything.
Am I right?

Speaker 2 Nest behind his head.

Speaker 2 He's kind of weird.

Speaker 2 I think my mom used to say

Speaker 2 country.

Speaker 2 What is it called? Country

Speaker 2 crocket or something.

Speaker 2 Country crafts. Country crocket, I think, is what it was called.

Speaker 2 Mirror with the roof. Yes.
Nest

Speaker 2 around it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Handcrafted, of course. Jeff hates wreaths.
I hate them. Jeff hates them.

Speaker 2 Put one on the door. Christmas.

Speaker 2 Christmas. Yeah, he allows it.

Speaker 2 Don't put the dead tree branch wreaths around my house. It reminds me of the bird nest I had hanging outside one time.

Speaker 2 We've kept even our great man Paul from questioning, Paul.

Speaker 2 Our great man Paul from questioning. I thought you said a great wedding.
We've kept him from great manops. Yeah, we've kept him menopause in the from questioning.

Speaker 2 Just enough to keep them coming back to the hand that feeds them. Wise, huh?

Speaker 2 Wise, huh?

Speaker 2 Since I've

Speaker 2 made it up. Whatever I just said, I made it all up.
Or my name isn't Eric Rabert.

Speaker 2 You boys finish up.

Speaker 2 You boys finish up. Finish up with your groveling.
I don't.

Speaker 2 I don't need to hear about the unimportant details about our drugs.

Speaker 2 Stuff like, where's it at? How much are we selling it for? When's it going to be here?

Speaker 2 Those are unimportant details. Yeah, I will be somewhere else talking with my brother, the reformed preacher, Ricardo Matevan.

Speaker 2 Don't mess this up.

Speaker 2 I sense something happening.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 shot. He's got an intuition.

Speaker 2 The winds are changing. We need to be watchful.
The winds are changing. As a matter of fact,

Speaker 2 I just farted.

Speaker 2 I'm going to crop toast you and

Speaker 2 leave you to sort it out. Thank you.

Speaker 2 There's not a working toilet in this house. Yeah.

Speaker 2 This is a model home. The toilets don't go anywhere.

Speaker 2 Paul, let me give you a side hug.

Speaker 2 By the way. A man giving another man a side hug.
It's weird. Yes.
Been there, done that. But also, let me tell you that my sport jacket is still sewn in the back.

Speaker 2 You know, when you get a sport jacket. Because you have to return it.
Yeah. That's true.
They do. They're on a short time.
But when you get a jacket as a man, the tail is sewn.

Speaker 2 It's got two little pieces of thread so that they're easier to. They're going to get off your ass.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Good to see you.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it hasn't been cut because it needs to be returned. Yeah, well, it doesn't fit anyway.

Speaker 2 It's an ill-fitting. Well, he's wearing blue pants.
He's wearing blue. Gray.

Speaker 2 No, I think they're just blue pants. No.
I think they're a Chino pant. That's weird.
I think they're a blue Chino, and then the gray sport jacket with the elbow pads. Nothing like elbow pads.

Speaker 2 And a straight up to the neck red. Yeah, that's something straight out of drug cartel castings.

Speaker 2 Elbow pads.

Speaker 2 Just go black suit. Go go tugs like the other guy.

Speaker 2 Okay, now we're at the high school. Okay.

Speaker 2 Middle school? High school? High school.

Speaker 2 Kids milling around the

Speaker 2 hall. Be

Speaker 2 Chris. I've seen him looking at you before.
I don't even know his name. It's Jake or something like that.
I don't have time for that anyway. School.
Okay, well, look, someone will call.

Speaker 2 I don't have time for all that. School.

Speaker 2 I'm talking exactly like a teenager would. That's what everybody is.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Between 1861 and 1865, the Civil War occurred. Now, some of America's greatest piece.
Does he have pubic hair at the front of his head? I'm just

Speaker 2 wondering.

Speaker 2 It's a puffin. Of literature were actually inspired by the war.
Many of the writers. And that just lets you know, now we're in a classroom.

Speaker 2 The girl who we've been introduced to via the hallway where she said she doesn't have time for boys at school

Speaker 2 or they were just understandably very interested.

Speaker 2 Today, we're going to be discussing Stephen Crane's Red Badge of Courage. Now, you should have completed your first reading.
I've got a TV guide today, but I'm going to be giving you some background.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you're right about that.

Speaker 2 He does. He's like, I want to watch this show.
Yeah, he's like, What time does wheel come on?

Speaker 2 Ground information on Crane himself. Now, do take notes because this is going to let not your focus be divided.
He's leaving the sticky note. Yeah, but look at her.
She's actually taking a test.

Speaker 2 No, and she's taking notes. Yeah, why wouldn't you? So this girl's.
She doesn't look like her focus is off. Yeah, he's trying to get in bed with her.

Speaker 2 On your final exam coming up, Crane was actually born six years after the Civil War ended.

Speaker 2 Okay, now the girl is walking across the street. We're assuming to her home.

Speaker 2 There's a lady next door to her who's got a big push broom who's cleaning the already cleaned sidewalk. Oh, you know those.
You use those.

Speaker 2 And as I've pointed out now three times, because we've watched this three times,

Speaker 2 these houses are cluster homes. So they're sitting right on top of each other.
And the lady has a lawn that is no bigger than the size of a lawnmower, yet she has a lawn wall. Just sitting on there.

Speaker 2 Chris, come over real quick. Your lawn's looking really nice, Miss Betty.
Thanks. Lots of fat.
Thanks. Miss Patty.
Thanks. Have you ever heard of the skincare line, Star Beam?

Speaker 2 She's going to take a drug.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. Oh, no, she's going to take lay down.
A little nap. Oh, goodness.

Yeah, fuck work.

Speaker 2 Just five minutes. Just five.

Speaker 2 She's exhausted from cutting those carrots.

Speaker 2 It's been a long day of cutting carrots.

Speaker 2 Those carrots that smell so good. Uh-oh.
4:45. 4:45.
She slept for an hour.

Speaker 2 Uh-oh, late. That feeling's the worst feeling.
It It is the worst feeling.

Speaker 2 But my body doesn't let me do that anymore. I'd like some internal weird call

Speaker 2 that if I say I have to be up by something, my body will wake me up automatically. I hate it.

Speaker 2 Oh, she's not feeling well.

Speaker 2 It's probably all the drugs she's been taking.

Speaker 2 I just need a little drugs to get through. Yep, yep, yep.
She's digging in there. Oh, nothing like taking some nights.
Zyrtec. Some Zyrtec to keep you up.
She's literally taking a pill from a box.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like an allergy pill. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Could be a heartburn medication. Could be.

Speaker 2 That's the first thing I do if I'm late.

Speaker 2 Just hang out in the bathroom. Yeah, me too.
I hang out in the bathroom. I take a Xyrtec.
Yeah. Wait for it to kick in.
And look at myself in the mirror. What am I doing with my life?

Speaker 2 I can get through the night if I've got a Zyrtec.

Speaker 2 But I stay away from Allegra.

Speaker 2 That will fuck you up. That'll fuck you up, Chrissy.

Speaker 2 Uh-oh. Two drug guys are in the diner.
Now we're here at a diner, and two drug guys just walked in. How do I know they're drug guys? Because they're wearing all black.

Speaker 2 Nothing like a whiteboard, too, in the background. I know.

Speaker 2 Cup of coffee.

Speaker 2 Cup of coffee. That's it.

Speaker 2 That's it? I didn't even say hello to you. You just said cup of coffee?

Speaker 2 You?

Speaker 2 Same. Cup of coffee.

Speaker 2 Where's she at?

Speaker 2 She's in the back.

Speaker 2 Where's she at? Oh. Oh.

Speaker 2 I'm looking for some girl.

Speaker 2 Could it be the mother?

Speaker 2 Probably. That's what I think.

Speaker 2 I think the mother is selling drugs on the side.

Speaker 2 Now they're going to the back of a dressing room. Yeah, how did they go from a restaurant to the to a Asian spa?

Speaker 2 How did that happen? That was weird. Hey, baby.
Hi. How you doing? I'm fine.

Speaker 2 Okay. I said I was fine.
That's not the mom. Oh, it's not the mom.
It's one of the drug guys' girlfriends.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 What is it?

Speaker 2 It's the Lord. I haven't kept up with my Bible studies and I'm feeling shitty.
Frankie, okay? You know how he is. He's just, he's at it again.
Frankie. No, hang on.
I just...

Speaker 2 They're literally in a dressing room.

Speaker 2 This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. They were in a diner and now they're in a spa or a dressing room.
Yeah, it's lavender colored paint on the wall. There's the dressing room.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I didn't know the diner was that big when I saw it at first.

Speaker 2 She's in the back with Frankie. You know how he gets.
Yep. You mean like on a vacation? No, I don't mean a vacation.
I mean someplace permanent. You know we can't leave.

Speaker 2 It's not that easy. This is my life.
This is what I do.

Speaker 2 I'm a drug guy.

Speaker 2 I'm a drug guy, Chrissy. I can't just get out.

Speaker 2 All the drug things keep me here. Well, I don't like this life for us, Marcos, for working for him.

Speaker 2 It's okay. It's okay.
We can get through this.

Speaker 2 First of all, my name isn't Marcos. It's Todd.
I'll see if I can get you some time off.

Speaker 2 Time off?

Speaker 2 Yes, I'll ask the drug guy if I can have some time off from all the drug things. I've got some PTO I have not used.

Speaker 2 By law, he has to give me paternity leave. OSHA.
OSHA.

Speaker 2 I just, I, I,

Speaker 2 I just, I, I feel like I'm losing it here. One day.

Speaker 2 When I walk in there, it's like a restaurant. When I walk back here, it's like a dressing room.
I feel like I'm going crazy. I'm in a diner one minute.

Speaker 2 I'm in an Asian spa giving hand shandies to Ricky. Cranky.
Yes, one day you're Marcos, the next day you're Todd. I can't even figure it out.

Speaker 2 Okay, it's okay. Look, I'll go in and I'll talk to Frankie.
Maybe that'll ease things up. He's in dressing room number two.
Yes,

Speaker 2 let me go into the Holiday Inn office. He's gonna turn the corner and we're gonna be back at the elevator scene from the beginning.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Going out.

Speaker 2 By the way, what's so bad about working in a diner? I didn't know it was a dinner. Diner slash dressing room.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh. Oh, we're in a warehouse.

Speaker 2 This is the never-ending building, yes.

Speaker 2 Lepetita. Lepetit Cafe.

Speaker 2 What's up, Marco?

Speaker 2 What are these? Drugs? Because it looks like baking soda.

Speaker 2 By the way, now they're in a warehouse. There's a guy with the headphones on, and he just picked up a bag of what clearly is not drugs if you've ever done drugs.

Speaker 2 It kind of looked like one of those things that my housekeepers leave when they leave. They do like a little rose with the toilet paper.
A potpourri? Oh, no, a rose with a toilet paper.

Speaker 2 Oh, oh, yours does that? Yeah. What's no Emmy up to? Gonna talk to her.

Speaker 2 Look, man.

Speaker 2 Look, production is low.

Speaker 2 Production's low, so I've been doing a lot of our own stash just to keep it up. Why is it so low, Frankie?

Speaker 2 We're still waiting on a new shipment to come in.

Speaker 2 We don't just make one thing in here, man.

Speaker 2 Come on, bro. You know, things have been tight.

Speaker 2 It's a few of the ladies are out sick, Chrissy. I told them to stay out.
Call them. Call them now.
Get them in here now. I told April.
And April is not to be told what to do.

Speaker 2 She's watching over this operation for me, so anything she says to you, I want you to treat it like I'm standing right in front of you.

Speaker 2 You got that?

Speaker 2 Like I'm your theater director in this theater.

Speaker 2 What are these bags, Frankie?

Speaker 2 It's my cafe. What are these bags full of white stuff? Is that drugs?

Speaker 2 Are we doing a drug operation with actual drugs? Frankie!

Speaker 2 I love that he's got a big gulp. Uh-oh, he's taking a uh-oh.
He's gonna find the extra stash. It's just my jacket.

Speaker 2 What's this? What's this? Extra drugs in the drug house, Frankie?

Speaker 2 Look at the

Speaker 2 fork, the plastic fork that's stuck in the back. Yeah, that's stuck in the container.
Also, look at the candles in the background lit up. I know, and the big gulp.
None of it makes sense.

Speaker 2 Oh, this is awesome.

Speaker 2 One, two,

Speaker 2 three.

Speaker 2 Have you been learning how to count again, Frankie?

Speaker 2 Oh, hidden drugs. He's stealing drugs.
That's a lot.

Speaker 2 That's like way more than an eight-point. Yeah, like...
Those are like three eight. If you're gonna steal from the drug kingpin, steal like three, not like 30.

Speaker 2 Well, it looks like you're taking a slice for yourself.

Speaker 2 Hell, Frankie.

Speaker 2 Are you cutting me? No, Marco, really I'm not.

Speaker 2 Are you cutting me? Are you cutting me Frankie? Are you cutting down the side? Are you using your extra your own baking soda Frankie?

Speaker 2 Well, he's got to pay for those CBS head beats. Yeah, the beat that

Speaker 2 he's got those fake beads on. Yeah, who do you think's paying the candle bill around here?

Speaker 2 Marco,

Speaker 2 you made me mad, Frankie. You made me mad.

Speaker 2 Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
As your kids would say, uh-oh.

Speaker 2 Frankie's 10% discount on diner sandwiches? Gone.

Speaker 2 You made me mad. And no more free use in the dressing rooms.
Yeah. And no more use in the dressing rooms or the warehouse.

Speaker 2 Oh, man. Yeah, that's what I do after I get busted.
Yeah. Taking drugs from the kingpin.
Just go back to what I was doing. Yeah, no consequences.
He's just made him mad.

Speaker 2 Yeah, by the the way, look at where the

Speaker 2 fake beats are plugged in. Into the styrofoam.
Into the styrofoam.

Speaker 2 With a fork. Styrofox sticking.

Speaker 2 Tune in, Tokyo.

Speaker 2 We should do way. Every day.
Kenning's still. Okay, we're back to the street.
Kenning's still scoping things. Oh, he's walking into the door.
He's walking to the door of the young lady, Christina.

Speaker 2 I bet it's his granddaughter.

Speaker 2 What's that? I don't know. Did he even ring the doorbell? Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 There we go. Good job.
He changed clothes. He did.
He's got a checked suit on now.

Speaker 2 We should wear every day.

Speaker 2 Chris, open the door. Oh,

Speaker 2 the mother thought she was going to work. I thought she was late for work.

Speaker 2 It's me.

Speaker 2 It's me.

Speaker 2 It's me. Papa.

Speaker 2 Papa.

Speaker 2 That's not how they say it. She was late for work

Speaker 2 an hour ago, but

Speaker 2 Papa is here.

Speaker 2 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 Sweetheart?

Speaker 2 She came by to see you.

Speaker 2 I hope it's okay. See?

Speaker 2 I wanted to tell you.

Speaker 2 I know. They crisscross and they're devilish.

Speaker 2 He looks like a Cheshire cat. I wanted to tell you I'm out of the dogs business now.

Speaker 2 I can't believe it's you.

Speaker 2 It's been a long time.

Speaker 2 I've had a lot of Botox.

Speaker 2 A long time.

Speaker 2 Oh, I would say so.

Speaker 2 20 years? 20?

Speaker 2 Hold on. Kenny was a young man.

Speaker 2 I'm bumping around. I realize that even 20 years is a long time, but you don't think you'd notice your dad after 20 years? Who are you? Yes, can I help you? I also know

Speaker 2 that this is a bigger surprise for you.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I would say so. Yeah, I would say so.
Now let you excuse me. I've got to get back to my clariton addiction.

Speaker 2 Sally, please.

Speaker 2 I've changed my way. Please, I got to take a hot shit, Cat.

Speaker 2 Can I use your pretend toilet?

Speaker 2 Maybe you have some coffee for this old man.

Speaker 2 You haven't written?

Speaker 2 I haven't heard from you.

Speaker 2 Since I was a home.

Speaker 2 And you come to my house and you want coffee?

Speaker 2 Okay, I'll take drugs if you've got drugs. I am so sorry about that.

Speaker 2 I really apologize. My pen was broken and things just didn't work out.
I was on drugs. I was on drugs.
You have no

Speaker 2 idea how I feel.

Speaker 2 Don't you come here to my house telling me you are sorry. I would like to make it up to you.

Speaker 2 If I can,

Speaker 2 if I can. Chrissy, if I can.

Speaker 2 Kenny's acting skills need a little work. Chrissy, if I can, it's me.
Papa! Papa! Papa!

Speaker 2 I know it's been 20 years, but can have have a cup of coffee. Yeah,

Speaker 2 fine. Fine.
One glass of Sanka, and then you're out.

Speaker 2 I have five minutes and one glass of water.

Speaker 2 And I'm three hours late to work.

Speaker 2 I was supposed to be there early, then I took a nap, woke up late, and now I'm still here. I know, I thought she was going to get a promotion at work or some shit.
Okay.

Speaker 2 I will take it. I will take it.

Speaker 2 Peppy love you.

Speaker 2 Hey, get in here.

Speaker 2 Kenny.

Speaker 2 That's a terrible picture of that girl. Yeah, I don't know.
That's weird. Well, I mean, I'm sure it was taken two minutes ago.
Yeah, this whole thing. It's a model home.

Speaker 2 Who has lights like that in there? No one. That's Christian.
No one.

Speaker 2 She's beautiful.

Speaker 2 Like her grandmother.

Speaker 2 Oh, now they're going to go into Coco.

Speaker 2 Tarabuela.

Speaker 2 Are you here on business?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 No, I don't do business. Look at the fake clock.
Even that. I mean, all of this is model home.
What time is it? Oh, it's still

Speaker 2 12.05.

Speaker 2 I just came to see you.

Speaker 2 I just came to see you.

Speaker 2 Oh.

Speaker 2 It's been 20 years, so might as well not be around the bush. I thought I had it figured out

Speaker 2 that you

Speaker 2 sent me away to protect me.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 during that time, I just convinced myself you love me, and that's why you did it. What?

Speaker 2 Say.

Speaker 2 Say!

Speaker 2 Exactly.

Speaker 2 What you said!

Speaker 2 Exactly what you said.

Speaker 2 A husband who passed away,

Speaker 2 but not once.

Speaker 2 You didn't send me a letter once.

Speaker 2 well about that

Speaker 2 i have no idea

Speaker 2 how to praise

Speaker 2 a little girl

Speaker 2 with my two hands yeah he's putting them together like

Speaker 2 some water this is so strange with a boy

Speaker 2 that's easy

Speaker 2 Yeah, my boy is in jail. Yeah, that was easy.
My boy, that was easy. I put him in Angola State Penitentiary to save my own ass when I got

Speaker 2 busted by the fish. Girls, I had no idea.

Speaker 2 Girls, they have vaginas. It's complicated machinery.
I sent you to my sister.

Speaker 2 I know she was. Aunt Betty? Aunt Betty.
And I believe she did.

Speaker 2 She became my mother.

Speaker 2 She wrote me

Speaker 2 again

Speaker 2 and again

Speaker 2 asking to bring you to see me

Speaker 2 but I no respond.

Speaker 2 No, I no respond.

Speaker 2 The Spanglish is so

Speaker 2 horrifically racist. I mean, it's just so terrible.

Speaker 2 I was never afraid of nothing.

Speaker 2 But that is a double negative, so I was actually afraid of everything.

Speaker 2 I was never afraid of nothing. But Sally, bringing you

Speaker 2 into my kind of life

Speaker 2 frightened me. Well,

Speaker 2 I can understand.

Speaker 2 I consider you Auntie's request,

Speaker 2 but I just

Speaker 2 push him aside.

Speaker 2 But now,

Speaker 2 those fears are at gone.

Speaker 2 And you want to know why?

Speaker 2 The word of the Lord.

Speaker 2 And I found out you were in LA

Speaker 2 and did I have a granddaughter?

Speaker 2 I would like very much.

Speaker 2 You mean his sister didn't tell him, keep him posted on what was happening? Yeah, no, listen, it's complicated. I all of a sudden found out you're in LA.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so I found out you were in LA and I decided to come down with my driver who I killed moments ago and changed my clothes. And Margaret.

Speaker 2 And it's still 12.05 on your clock.

Speaker 2 So what? No wonder she's late for work. I know.

Speaker 2 I thought her job was important and she had to work because Mary was out of town. Three jobs.
Three jobs. It's now 8.15.
She was supposed to be there at 4.45.

Speaker 2 She didn't see with me in a nice car. And would you take us to the mall?

Speaker 2 Perimeter. Would you take us to the mall, please?

Speaker 2 There's a sheen pop-up at the moment.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 I don't have any money.

Speaker 2 I bought these clothes or these chinas.

Speaker 2 These cream chinos were the last thing I bought. Sally, I know.

Speaker 2 I just

Speaker 2 walk into your life.

Speaker 2 I did not know.

Speaker 2 I had no idea

Speaker 2 what to expect. By the way, I hear this same music when I'm getting a massage sometimes.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, it's the

Speaker 2 slow Spanish

Speaker 2 harp.

Speaker 2 I would just like to make things right,

Speaker 2 please. See!

Speaker 2 See!

Speaker 2 Papa!

Speaker 2 I have to get going.

Speaker 2 I've been trying to get to work for five hours. I'm one day late to work.

Speaker 2 I was

Speaker 2 there yesterday.

Speaker 2 Does no one here have a cell phone? And no one's calling them?

Speaker 2 Do you have a cell number?

Speaker 2 All right, we're back watching the rally LA. It's TCB minus.
Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 2 In case you didn't know, we didn't do this live because we had some issues. Not going to go through all that again.
We're going to get right back into the movie.

Speaker 2 Let me get you up to speed just to give you an idea of what we understand the movie to be about so far. Kendis Copeland has a terrible accent.
Eric Roberts has a terrible accent.

Speaker 2 Some lady is three hours late to work.

Speaker 2 And the daughter is a fastidious student who is trying her best to be a good daughter. And Kenny just showed up after 20 years.
Yes. Just showed up to the mother.
So there's a girl named Christina.

Speaker 2 She's a teenager in high school. Her mom is Kenny Copeland's daughter.
Long lost daughter. Eric Roberts is Kenny Copeland's brother, who is a drug kingpin, who is getting ready for a big shipment.

Speaker 2 So here we go.

Speaker 2 LA is a cool city, I do got to say.

Speaker 2 Okay, now it's nighttime.

Speaker 2 Oh, more drug guys opening up a gate. I think this is the shipment, Chrissy, if I had to guess.
Well, in a bug? Yeah.

Speaker 2 In the world's smallest car, yes.

Speaker 2 Oh, it's the three guys from earlier. It's Marcos, Frankie, and

Speaker 2 the guy who was stealing the drugs. Frankie's gonna get hit.
Uh-oh, is Frankie gonna get killed? Something. He's gonna get tortured or something.

Speaker 2 Okay, now they're in a big garage, and Frankie has to sit down on a metal chair.

Speaker 2 Uh-oh, here comes Eric Roberts.

Speaker 2 It's time for some murdering. It's nighttime.
He's got his glasses, sunglasses on. Yes.
His dockers. I love it.
He's yakked out of his head, probably.

Speaker 2 I wonder what the actual drugs budget was.

Speaker 2 Probably a lot. Yes.

Speaker 2 Oh, he pulls his sunglasses down to look at him over. This keeps very, very simple.

Speaker 2 You have taken something

Speaker 2 that belongs to me.

Speaker 2 A huge pot of cornstarch.

Speaker 2 As a matter of fact.

Speaker 2 You know.

Speaker 2 I appreciate guys like you who have an entrepreneurial vibe about you like Marcos here.

Speaker 2 Vibe. God, he's going somewhere.
Vibe. And I have no heir, so he is my heir apparent.

Speaker 2 Oh.

Speaker 2 He's learning the business. He's grateful to learn the business.

Speaker 2 He's grateful to learn the business.

Speaker 2 It doesn't sound very scary.

Speaker 2 He's like, I want an heir, so I got an heir apparent. He's learning the business.
It's so much fun, Chrissy. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 And now I'm going to kill you by slicing off your penis, you little woo-woo.

Speaker 2 But not until he's in charge. Can you call her his own like everything else?

Speaker 2 Let me go.

Speaker 2 I promise I'll keep everything clean.

Speaker 2 Except for me, because I like drugs. Isn't that right, Marcos?

Speaker 2 Yes, sir.

Speaker 2 You see.

Speaker 2 Oh, a god's

Speaker 2 Yeah, Marcos maybe should have pulled a gun on them earlier.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 Uh-oh. Oh, he's given us a gun.
Eric Roberts has given Marcos the gun. Marcos is gonna have to kill Frankie, his friend.
Your hands are dirty now, Marcos. Good night, young man.
Good night, young man.

Speaker 2 Let's stop squabbling.

Speaker 2 Let us not squabble about small things. I'm going to shoot you right that's the cloth.

Speaker 2 Marcus is gonna chicken out. Yeah, of course he is or is he gonna kill him? No, he's a good guy.
He loves the Lord.

Speaker 2 Yeah

Speaker 2 Set PG-13 violence oh he shot him in the head

Speaker 2 straight for the head. Wow.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Kenny's not afraid to have a movie with people who shoot each other in the head to get a a point across that the Lord loves you. Oh.

Speaker 2 Wait.

Speaker 2 Hold on.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 The landscapers are there at Miss Betty's next door with the two foot by two foot lawn. They're fixing the lawnmower.

Speaker 2 Yeah, there's a handyman fixing the lawnmower that was mowing the two foot by two foot lawn. And then there's another guy doing landscaping to the right there.
All right.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of landscaping to be done in this little tiny tiny yard.

Speaker 2 Not unlike your landscapers that were here earlier. There's another handyman.
They're all at the house.

Speaker 2 Yes, it looks like they're getting ready to go do TCB live streaming.

Speaker 2 They're here at

Speaker 2 Brian's house.

Speaker 2 Ma'am, name's Joe. As you can see, we're taking care of the lawn and lock on your front door.
That's a huge group of people taking care of lawns and locks. That's right, Chrissy.

Speaker 2 I got a guy on the roof and two dudes installing cameras. And then I also left you about a million dollars in cash in the freezer.
It's all from your papa.

Speaker 2 Papa's taking care of it.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 All right, who sent you? All right, and exactly who are you?

Speaker 2 I'd be like, get the fuck away from my house. Oh, a gentleman

Speaker 2 called Antonio Miguel Saka.

Speaker 2 He wanted me to make sure I did his middle name. Antonio Miguel Saka.
Antonio Miguel Santa.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Right, I see he's trying to buy my life by landscaping and handymanning me. That's right.
He's handymanning me. He's handymanning my love.
Well, dad,

Speaker 2 you can handyman me all you want. But me and my daughter are not going to be a part of your life.

Speaker 2 Well, only be about another 20 minutes. Because your yard's so small.
Yeah. It's not going to take long.

Speaker 2 It will only be about another 20 minutes because this is a model home, and quite frankly, the walls are made of paper.

Speaker 2 I'm going to text you on my Samsung Generation 1 phone.

Speaker 2 Is this Miguel Santonio Santa? Hello?

Speaker 2 Sarko.

Speaker 2 It's me, Sally.

Speaker 2 Sally. That was a weird.

Speaker 2 It's me,

Speaker 2 Sally.

Speaker 2 And Kenny's in his polka jam.

Speaker 2 Silk robe.

Speaker 2 Oh, my pajamas.

Speaker 2 I often wear. Plaid curtains.
Yes, I often wear four layers to back.

Speaker 2 Silk robe. You know, and you're just hanging.

Speaker 2 Yeah. He's hanging with the kids.
Oh, my God. Pokeduck satin robe.
I'm lucky if I'm wearing a bag. With over your regular pajamas, and then there's a t-shirt underneath.

Speaker 2 I'm lucky if I wear pajamas to build.

Speaker 2 I wear my boxers. If I get my boxers on, I'm good.

Speaker 2 How are you?

Speaker 2 I'm just here with my penis wingling. Hello, wangling.
Hello, hello. Hello, Sally.
Buenos dias. Welcome to the main stage.
I meant to tell you: your mom is not your real mom.

Speaker 2 She's actually your sister, and you, therefore, are not related to me. Some men came and mowed my lawn and

Speaker 2 fixed that front door of mine. Well, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
Go on.

Speaker 2 Do you mind if we face talk?

Speaker 2 I've got my robe on. Tell me more about your mowed lawn and your front door.

Speaker 2 I knew you'd seen it.

Speaker 2 I just wanted to do some things for you, but I think it would be better if I was. I just sent my handyman out.

Speaker 2 I sent my handyman to mow your lawn.

Speaker 2 Oh, God. Do you want me to

Speaker 2 unclog your pipes?

Speaker 2 Oh, God.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 see,

Speaker 2 I wanted you to know that I really appreciate it. And I actually do need the money, so if you wouldn't mind saying that.
This is ridiculous. She is in a nice home.

Speaker 2 It's a nice model home but it's a nice home it's like a nice home and she she was so like distraught over her lawn and front door uh she's very grateful now yeah she's very grateful over the 15

Speaker 2 job

Speaker 2 also she told the daughter to lock the door be sure and lock the door seemed like nothing was wrong with the door well remember the door was shaky when the door when the daughter tried to open it i was a little shaky i guess there is a little continuity manager on set because i put two and two together there my pleasure.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 we can maybe get that coffee. I have no idea why this is not available on streaming.
Nope.

Speaker 2 I can't imagine that Netflix would want to put this on. Seems like a high

Speaker 2 okay sweetheart. Okay, sweetheart.

Speaker 2 She's softened now. He's

Speaker 2 buying her love through the

Speaker 2 dawn and handyman. This is amazing.
They're trying to make this big moral point. He comes in, she says, you're not going to buy my love, you know, and he says, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 I tried to, I didn't want to raise daughter. He sends a handyman over to put a screw in the front door.
And she's like, Wow, I guess we can get that coffee now.

Speaker 2 All better.

Speaker 2 All better.

Speaker 2 Sally.

Speaker 2 Grow a backbone.

Speaker 2 Thank God that screw is back in the front door.

Speaker 2 And my lawn is back. Yeah, it's not like the house was getting foreclosed on

Speaker 2 it didn't seem like things were that bad. No, they're not.
Of course, if this house is really in LA, it's a million and a half dollar house.

Speaker 2 Yes, she's like, yes, she's like, yes.

Speaker 2 I can finally open the front door without a jiggle in the jiggle.

Speaker 2 Who's that? I don't know.

Speaker 2 Why? Is that a door for small people? It's a church door. It's like

Speaker 2 it's pointed at the top. It's strange.
I know. I don't know if anybody's ever had like an upstairs, like attic door, like the tiny little door that's

Speaker 2 open.

Speaker 2 Can I help you?

Speaker 2 that we have... I have

Speaker 2 been busy. We have.
Can I do that over again? No. Okay, I have.

Speaker 2 Been busy doing all of the wrong things.

Speaker 2 Do you remember when we were young boys? And we played war.

Speaker 2 And I would kick you in the nuts, and you would kick me back in the nuts.

Speaker 2 Well, turns out i can't get anybody pregnant so it's not actually my daughter so i'm hoping you can take care of her while i go do my tile thing over at the conventions

Speaker 2 i brought handmade mosaics yes

Speaker 2 and

Speaker 2 i do all kinds of work bathroom renovations handyman walk-in tubs for older folks you've seen the commercials on tv

Speaker 2 i found the lord and now i do walk-in tubs door to door.

Speaker 2 And we lead our men into great battles and we win great victories. Eric Roberts, the venerable actor, is probably like, why don't we just drop the axe?

Speaker 2 It's terrible. He's going in and out of accents, and I don't even know what they are.
Italian, Greek, Mexican.

Speaker 2 So what do you think we were really doing?

Speaker 2 to follow Jesus.

Speaker 2 Exactly.

Speaker 2 Exactly.

Speaker 2 The most honest line.

Speaker 2 Ding. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Ding.

Speaker 2 I gave it all away. That's right.
I came.

Speaker 2 After the handyman that I sent him. I took all my blood-stained cash and I turned it into the Catholic Church.
And they said, ah, we don't know nothing. We don't know nothing.

Speaker 2 Laundering and the tiles. That's right.
I'm laundering the tiles.

Speaker 2 So you're saying... Was that a thimble? Yeah, it was a thimble.
Yeah, a thimble of something. And I think it was real because of the way that he reacted to it.
He's like, I need something.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he's like, oh, that's firewater. I think so.

Speaker 2 Everything you had, you gave up.

Speaker 2 Nothing's left back home. Nothing.

Speaker 2 Except for this million-dollar suit.

Speaker 2 My 1994.

Speaker 2 And the handyman that I send to my daughter. Doesn't seem like that.
That's right.

Speaker 2 So you just gave it all up. And my security guy that came in with me.
Where is he? Yeah, in the two security guards, actually. Where Where are they? Hey, he told him to wait here.

Speaker 2 He's probably murdered. He's been murdered.

Speaker 2 It's a little confusing. Are you local? You gave away everything you were for, gave away your status,

Speaker 2 and you kept enough until you die

Speaker 2 to be with Jesus. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, you kept enough until you die. Oh, you kept enough until you die.
Yeah, well, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Speaker 2 And sometimes you just gotta keep a couple extra billion ones.

Speaker 2 And then I'm out. Elon Musk is going to be the first trillionaire.
Did you hear that? He's going to be the first trillionaire. So just enough before you die.

Speaker 2 I made a choice.

Speaker 2 To follow Jesus

Speaker 2 after the billion. That's right.
After I made billions on dead people. people.

Speaker 2 I never

Speaker 2 felt so much peace

Speaker 2 in all of my life.

Speaker 2 He has truly blessed me.

Speaker 2 He's given me his grace.

Speaker 2 I got away with all the murdering and the robots. I've got to quit while I'm in the middle of the day.
Drug addiction.

Speaker 2 Prostitution. Like, get out at the casinos.

Speaker 2 See, I'm going straight. That's right.
I am now in the soft core pornography business. And the tiles.
And the tiles. I actually, but they work together nicely.
When you put in a tub insert,

Speaker 2 you make a

Speaker 2 soft penis.

Speaker 2 That's right. It's a picture of a vagina with a soft penis, and then you stuff some drugs behind it.
You get it later if you need cash. It's a bank.

Speaker 2 All I want to do now

Speaker 2 is help people.

Speaker 2 There is so much

Speaker 2 we can do.

Speaker 2 You,

Speaker 2 me,

Speaker 2 we can change this city.

Speaker 2 Los Angeles. Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 You know, God said.

Speaker 2 cliff notes. It's a tiny Bible.
It's a Bible cliff notes. Yeah, it's a tiny Bible.

Speaker 2 You got to get it in that tiny door.

Speaker 2 Yes. And a cursing.

Speaker 2 Therefore, you choose a lie. I haven't heard one person curse.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 Something you need to change what you are doing

Speaker 2 and start living for Jesus.

Speaker 2 Geez, that's like a, I don't know, like a

Speaker 2 what do they call that? That's like an Eric Roberts looks skeptical.

Speaker 2 That's like an on-the-border commercial. You need to change what you're doing and come to on the border.

Speaker 2 Big brother.

Speaker 2 I am not a spiritual man by any means.

Speaker 2 But I know that what I am doing is not pleasing to you, Lord God. I know that's a fact.

Speaker 2 I cannot wake up tomorrow and start serving Jesus.

Speaker 2 Yes!

Speaker 2 No!

Speaker 2 That's what I did!

Speaker 2 Hey! That's what I did! I made a pizza pie!

Speaker 2 One day I'm a Mexican, and the next a day I'm a care!

Speaker 2 I think I'm a Greek, and now I'm an Argentinian. Look at this, I'm Venezuelan tomorrow.
Hey, I just said that's a good idea.

Speaker 2 That's the right

Speaker 2 thing. Hey!

Speaker 2 Santi,

Speaker 2 he loves you.

Speaker 2 That's what I did.

Speaker 2 I'm in too deep.

Speaker 2 And to be honest with you, who do you think favor these model homes? I am.

Speaker 2 Who's paying for all that?

Speaker 2 I have people who respect me. People in this town can't make a move without first my okay.

Speaker 2 Do it. I am a supplier for that people.
Do it.

Speaker 2 Do it. Shanti.
Do it. With this finger.

Speaker 2 And I like that.

Speaker 2 Will me give that up?

Speaker 2 I don't think I'll be taking it off for a big brother.

Speaker 2 I have my own offering to give. Boom.

Speaker 2 I just

Speaker 2 take that.

Speaker 2 And by the way, I just lost my accent for like five minutes. This is great.

Speaker 2 And the Lord will either accept it or reject it.

Speaker 2 I hear what you're saying.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he just lost it there, too. I hear what you're saying.
So he goes in and out of it. Yeah, he's even worse than Kenny, I think.
I have a few things to do before bed.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 you think about it.

Speaker 2 If you need anything. Think about it.
You know, you can call me, see?
