A throwback clip kicks things off as John Clay Wolfe chats with Cheech & Chong, mixing DVD talk and comedy banter. The conversation then drifts through their 1973-era stories, early media memories (AM radio vs. FM), and career momentum from TV, cable, and merchandising. Between laughs, they trade legalization takes—medical cards at a Venice Beach hash bar and predictions about nationwide legality—plus show business details like Simpsons plans and major venue sellouts.
Let's roll up another classic archive clip and take a journey to waaaaay back when the legendary stoners Cheech & Chong paid the Wolfe man a visit. They talk about everything from legalization to lowriders and they even do a Cheech & Chong sing-a-long. Free your mind and take a listen, just don't hog the doobie man!

“Spinners” are special wheels that keep spinning even as you drive, so they look like they’re constantly rotating. They’re usually chosen for style more than for speed or grip.
“Spinners” are aftermarket wheels designed to rotate independently of the car’s hub, creating a spinning effect when the vehicle is moving. They’re often associated with lowrider and custom-wheel culture rather than performance handling.
Brand
Dayton's
"[887.4s] 13 inch, Dayton's.
[888.9s] You got the knockoffs?"
“Dayton’s” sounds like the name of the wheels or tires being discussed. The host is asking about what kind of wheels they are and what size they are.
“Dayton’s” appears to refer to Dayton-style wheels/tires, a name commonly used in custom-wheel circles. In this context, it’s being used as the wheel brand or wheel/tire line the caller has.
"[888.9s] You got the knockoffs?
[890.8s] Yep.
[891.3s] Knockoffs, the white wall, got the little chrome chain steering wheel."
“Knockoffs” are a type of wheel where the center piece/hub is designed to come off differently than normal lug nuts. People like them for the look and for how the wheel is serviced.
“Knockoffs” are wheels that use a knock-off style hubcap/center that’s removed with a hammer-like action (or a quick-release mechanism) rather than conventional lug nuts. They’re common on custom builds and some classic/performance wheel setups.
"[891.3s] Knockoffs, the white wall, got the little chrome chain steering wheel.
[896.4s] You got the light center, the car?"
A “white wall” tire is a tire with a white band on the side. It’s mainly for the look, not for changing how the car drives.
A “white wall” tire has a white sidewall stripe, which is mostly a visual styling cue. It’s frequently seen on classic cars and custom builds to give a retro look.
"[906.4s] He's got any lift on it?
[907.8s] Any hop?
[909.4s] Oh yeah."
Here, “lift” means how high the car can raise up using its custom suspension system. It’s usually controlled by the hydraulics.
In this context, “lift” refers to a hydraulic lift capability—how much the car can raise using its suspension/hydraulic system. It’s part of the lowrider-style feature set being discussed by the callers.
"[907.8s] Any hop?
[909.4s] Oh yeah.
[910.2s] Two CCE hydraulic pumps."
“Hop” means the car bounces up and down. On hydraulic cars, it’s the kind of movement people show off.
“Hop” describes the bouncing/quick up-and-down motion a hydraulic suspension can produce, often as a showy effect. It’s typically achieved by how the hydraulic system is tuned and controlled.
"[909.4s] Oh yeah.
[910.2s] Two CCE hydraulic pumps.
[913.2s] I like that."
Hydraulic pumps are what power the fluid system that moves the car’s suspension. On custom cars, they let the car rise and fall on command.
“Hydraulic pumps” are the power units that pressurize hydraulic fluid to run a car’s hydraulic suspension system. In lowrider-style setups, they’re used to lift, lower, or “bounce” the car.
Brand
CCE
"[909.4s] Oh yeah.
[910.2s] Two CCE hydraulic pumps.
[913.2s] I like that."
“CCE” here is the brand name of the hydraulic pump parts. It’s being mentioned like a known component choice for this kind of custom hydraulic system.
“CCE” is referenced as the brand of the hydraulic pumps used in the car’s system. In custom/lowrider circles, CCE is known for components used to build hydraulic setups.
"Well, I don't live in an Escalade neighborhood. I'm cool at 7,500. We'll give it at the affiliate dealers."
The Cadillac Escalade is a big luxury SUV. Here, it’s being used like a shorthand for a certain type of neighborhood and people who would be interested in buying cars.
Cadillac Escalade is a large luxury SUV known for its big size, upscale interior, and strong presence on the road. In this segment, the host uses “Escalade” as a reference point for the kind of neighborhood or buyer crowd he’s talking about.
"I'm cool at 7,500. We'll give it at the affiliate dealers. 7,500?"
Affiliate dealers are partner dealerships that participate in a sales or bidding arrangement. Here, the host says the bid amount will be given to these partner dealerships to honor the offer.
"And if they don't want it, then they call me and say, hey, dude, you put 7,500 in this low rider. Come get it."
A low rider is a car that’s set up to sit very low to the ground. The host is saying that if the dealer doesn’t want the car, he has to go buy it back.
A low rider is a car setup (and culture) built around very low ride height, often with customized suspension and styling. In this segment, it’s used to describe the kind of car being bid on and potentially bought back from dealers.
"...ou can imagine everybody likes this show. I got a Prius. Really?"
The Prius is a car that uses both a gas engine and an electric motor. It’s designed to get good gas mileage, so it can be cheaper to run than many regular gas cars. People mention it a lot because it’s one of the most well-known hybrid models.
The Toyota Prius is a hybrid electric car known for prioritizing fuel economy over performance. It often comes up in conversation because it represents a mainstream, everyday approach to reducing gas use. In a podcast, it’s a common reference point when someone is surprised that a “normal” choice can still be interesting.
"I got two Priuses and a Silverado hybrid.
But they're all juiced.
They're all juiced?"
The Silverado is a big pickup truck from Chevrolet. Saying “hybrid” means it uses an electric system to help the gas engine, aiming for better efficiency than a normal truck.
The Chevrolet Silverado is a full-size pickup, and the speaker specifically calls out a hybrid version. That matters because hybrid pickups are still relatively uncommon compared with traditional gas or diesel Silverado configurations.
"They won't pass up to it.
I drive a Volvo.
I'm a Volvo guy."
Volvo is a car brand known for safety and comfort. In this clip, the person is just saying they drive a Volvo, without naming the exact model.
Volvo is a Swedish automaker known for safety-focused engineering and comfortable, durable vehicles. Here, the speaker says they drive a Volvo and identifies as a “Volvo guy,” but no specific model is named.
"...ing in a mild outused car? Tom Green, he drives a Challenger. He was in the other day."
The Challenger is a performance car that’s meant to feel powerful when you drive it. It’s known for a big, sporty design and quick acceleration. People talk about it when they want an example of a more exciting car choice.
The Dodge Challenger is a classic American-style muscle car, built for strong acceleration and a bold driving feel. It’s often discussed because it’s a recognizable nameplate that many people associate with performance and style. In the podcast context, it’s brought up as an example of someone driving a more “out there” car compared to a mild or everyday vehicle.

The John Clay Wolf Show has appeared on Terrestrial Radio for a really, really, really long time.
So we dug into our pockets, and on the other side of our d**k, we found something funny.
And yes, it's contagious.
Gather round as the Wolf Pack goes on this throwback adventure.
What's going on, world? It's your boy DJ Pre-K back at it with another throwback clip for y'all from the John Clay Wolf Show.
You know the business, and 420 was not too long ago, so I'm still in the spirit, and if you know what I mean.
And what better clip could I pull than when John talked to the OG Stoners themselves, Cheech and Chong?
I mean, John totally fanboys out and even gets to do a rendition of Mexican Americans with the Dynamic Duo.
I don't know how that works out since John is Caucasian or whatever, but I don't know. It's not my question to ask.
But yeah, let's get it. I was going to say some more, but I'm high. Let's just listen to the clip.
Thanks guys for jumping over right before you get a blockbuster.
Hey, watch what?
Hey, watch this.
Our pressure.
What do you want us to watch?
No. I'm holding the DVD in my hand. I haven't seen it yet.
Oh, you want us to watch the DVD?
Absolutely.
Is that porno?
What's it called?
Hey man, watch this.
I know, but what do you want us to watch?
Who's on first, John?
I saw it. I enjoyed it.
It's great.
It's good, isn't it?
You've got a lot of your old bits in there.
Well, we've got a few. We've got a few of our old bits in there.
Old, new, borrowed, blue.
And the thing I like about it is the characters that never made the stand-up, they get to come in.
You know, the dug and duggy, the gay reviewers.
I'd say you're promoting your show for the best all night, but it's sold out. I tried to get tickets last night.
Oh good. What are you doing here?
No, we're promoting the signing at Blockbuster.
We're signing at Blockbuster. We're going to be at Blockbuster signing.
You're just promoting.
Yeah, we're just promoting, man.
It's off Camp Buoy and Brian Irving.
Yeah, we want everybody to buy the DVD. Hey, watch this.
What?
And then we can afford to give it.
What do you want us to watch?
Then we can afford to give it a Cheech and Chong title.
Yeah.
Right now. Hey, watch this.
It's just generic right now.
Mexican America.
Do you like it?
Hey, do you think it's proud of it?
We might have a little moment of silence for the Dallas Mavericks who really ate it last night.
We're bringing in the shovels to scrape them off the floor later where they got run over by the Spurs.
Did you hear about the controversy here in town?
How that sports reporter guy put on his tweet.
I hope all you blank Mexicans are happy down in San Antonio.
He got blasted.
They made national news and they canned it.
They shot him in the head.
Really?
We're overjoyed, actually.
Well, we're just in Arizona, you know, when they had that lawn.
Boy, we just got out of the time.
They were after Cheech, man.
He never had his papers.
They came up on stage.
Let's see your papers.
I got the extra long ones with blue on both sides if you want to look at those.
I told a buddy of mine, Tom Terrell, down at Honda Clear Lake that y'all were coming in and he said,
oh my God, I've still got the original bamboo album with the rolling papers.
He said I smoked a ton of weed and I never used them because I'm keeping it for myself.
There you go.
Shout out to them.
It's an investment in your future.
Absolutely.
What year was that?
That was 1973.
What year did you guys start?
Like, start-start.
The first album was in 72.
So you started in like 69?
Yeah, I think we met in 69.
69, yeah.
That was a good number.
Up in Vancouver, Canada, we were doing...
He was doing 69.
He might need to bring him up early.
He's too light.
He was doing 69 in Canada.
Really?
I was an expert.
They called him the Mexican expert.
What's that up last night?
He was giving mustache rides.
One of my...
No waiting.
One of my favorite songs...
I mean, seriously, is that Mexican American song from whatever year?
It's the mid-70s.
Here's a clip.
Hey, you heard of me, baby?
Yeah, right there.
Okay, let's try that.
Okay, so I sat up last night and said I want to write a current version, 30 years later,
of Mexican Americans that has a little more, you know...
So now that you guys are back in the game, current stuff...
I like the first line, Mexican Americans don't like to start drug wars.
Don't just like to start drug wars.
And I was wondering if it was good enough for you to sing, Cheech?
I'll sing one of them.
I brought you an X, too, but if you don't want to play it, I understand.
Oh.
It's way out of tune, man.
Is it?
It's sort of...
But I'll take it home.
Did you give it to us?
Yeah, he's giving us...
It's actually a friend of mine.
I went over there at midnight last night and said, I got to have an acoustic.
I'm having Cheech in the morning.
I want him to sing my song.
Yeah.
And so...
I play guitar in that, you know, so...
I would be playing guitar in that.
Let's give it to him.
Here you take it.
You want to play it?
Tommy?
Sure.
What can you get?
Oh, or try not to bang it on a whole lot.
Oh, here, sorry.
I think it's good.
I think I did good.
Maybe you sing along with it, John?
I'll try.
I'll do whatever it takes.
Yeah, John, let me hear you.
This is an American Idol for Mexican Americans.
All right.
I'll just sing the whole damn thing if you'll sing along.
He's good.
John's going to sing.
All right.
Hit it.
Mexican Americans are named Jordan and Brandon and Alex and have brother-in-law's name Tyrone.
Mexican Americans are playing golf now and into NASCAR and other white guys stuff, but
still fight chickens in Oklahoma.
There we go.
Yeah.
Mexican Americans like Panty from Carlitos and they also like, and also they cook the
best Chinese food.
Mexican Americans sit in the radio stations and looking at stuff that other guys wrote
and sitting there thinking, boy, this is really crap.
Mexican Americans like to go to the radio station and do this stuff and then take a nap.
Hey, there you go.
Yeah, there you go.
Do they got marijuana legal marijuana stores here?
No, not yet.
No, not yet.
This is Texas, man.
Texas?
They don't got them?
No.
They have them, but they're called jails.
Yeah, exactly.
Where do you guys live?
You can go to jail.
LA.
LA.
You can go to jail for a joint, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
They have head shops.
Yeah.
But, you know, they have to.
Yes, in Arlington.
Exactly.
That's where I got busted.
In Arlington?
Oh, really?
That's where the DEA followed me around with cameras.
They had knapsacks and headbands and they kept turning their knapsack around to catch
me on camera.
There's your coffee.
In Arlington.
He said not to be ethnic.
Didn't we send a Mexican after our coffee?
Where's my pizza?
I want pizza.
So, do you guys think it's going to be legal here soon in LA?
Yeah, well, in LA.
Or in California at least.
In LA?
I was just in a hash bar yesterday.
I was down in Cheech on the way over here.
I was in a hash bar, man, on Venice Beach and sitting up there, you know, getting my medicine.
Uh-huh.
You know, I showed my medical card, you know, and yeah, it was great.
It was great and, you know, it's happening in California, man.
Because California is happening.
You don't have any medical marijuana stores here?
No.
Nothing I'm aware of.
You guys been under a rock?
No, they're in Texas.
Do you think they're going to get it passed?
Do you think it's going to be legal?
Absolutely.
I think it'll be legal throughout the nation for any purpose within three years.
Three years, yeah.
Before Obama's up.
Yeah.
Because if we can't get it passed with a brother in the White House, come on.
You know, I mean, please.
A surfer brother.
Yeah, a surfer brother from Hawaii.
I wonder if he smoked up a black eye surfer from Hawaii during that period.
That plays basketball.
That plays basketball.
Yeah.
And don't mind rap.
How long have you guys been doing this tour?
Uh, well, this particular tour, almost 34 hours now.
Just kicked it off?
Third year.
Is it the third year?
Yeah, it'll be the third year.
Two years, three years.
Yeah, three years.
How many weekends a month are you all working?
Just about every weekend.
Yeah.
We're going to go until we need an operation.
Yeah.
Until Cheech Quits getting married.
Yeah.
Are you like Liz Taylor?
No.
I don't like Liz Taylor.
She's just too old for me.
I like Liz.
You know what?
She just do number eight or nine or 12 or something.
And the guy's like 40 years or junior.
Yeah.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Is she just recently?
Yeah, just got married.
Go Liz.
Go Liz.
I like Liz.
She's got a caregiver.
She can get the best prescriptions.
Yeah.
She's got the biggest head you ever saw on a person.
I bet.
She's got this little tiny body and little pin legs and this enormous head, man.
It's like a bobble head.
Apparently she gives good haircuts.
Haircuts.
Yes.
Yeah.
Good haircut.
That's why I like her.
When you guys, how long did you all just do comedy and clubs and stuff before you got
the movies?
A couple of years?
No, no.
Ten years.
Ten years, yeah.
I mean, you guys are like...
Almost ten years.
We actually did...
Almost ten years.
Three years.
Eight years.
Did that change?
Did that just change everything?
Eight years.
First movie?
Did it just change everything?
Throw it in the high gear?
No, it renewed everything.
You know, because we were a big record act.
We sold a lot of records.
We had three number one albums in a row.
We toured constantly.
Played every place you could play that spoke English in the world.
And then it was starting to kind of wane and then all of a sudden the movies had revived
everything and kicked it up to another degree.
And then when it really kicked off was when the movies got on cable.
That's...
You know, when cable came in.
Well, when cable was invented, yeah.
I don't like to say that, you know, because how old are you?
I told my kid, I have a son, he's 24 now, but when he was like seven or eight and they
go to his room and there's all these gadgets and all these computers and everything and
all these, you know, computer games and I says, you know, when I was a kid we didn't have
TV and he goes, yeah, I know you were too poor.
He says, no, it wasn't invented yet.
He looked at me, look, how old are you?
What happened when you first saw fire?
That's true.
I was 12 years old when we got our first television.
I remember when there wasn't TV and then there was TV.
Now there's Twitter.
It was radio.
That's all we had.
You looked at the radio.
Not only radio, but it was AM radio.
Yeah.
They didn't have an FM, yeah.
No.
FM was for like civil disturbances.
Yeah.
And one station in Calgary where I grew up in Canada, one station and so they dictated
everything.
Yeah.
But it was cool, you know.
We made it.
Yeah, we made it.
We made it.
Did the movies make more money than the albums?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
I mean the albums made a lot of money and the concerts made a lot of money.
I missed the album, the comedic album.
I mean it doesn't exist anymore.
I mean I grew up listening, I mean literally under my bed, I wasn't supposed to be listening
to it.
My brother's eight years older than me and he had, you know, Richard Pryor, you guys,
Robin Williams, George Carlin, and I was sitting there on the eight track player under my bed
when I was about four listening to this stuff.
But those albums, they don't hit like they did.
Yeah, it was of the age.
That was the golden age of radio or album comedy.
Actually if people were making albums right now it would be easier because everything's
easier to access.
Sure.
You got to dial them up on the iPod, you know, you don't got to see if your record store
has it.
If you guys, was there any conversation of making an album like you used to?
Too much work, man.
Yeah, yeah, actually, you know, we got new material on the new show, you know, that people,
you know, were hinting around that we should record.
But we don't need a record company.
No, we're right here right now.
You can do it.
We got an animated album coming out that they're animating our early record bits.
Animated movie.
With this whole legalization thing, you guys may be up for a whole career kickoff again.
It's unbelievable.
How many lives does this cat have?
Do you like five?
How many wives?
Well, only three.
We want to really push our animated career.
Yeah, because, you know, we never grow old when you're animated.
And you don't work that hard.
And if you get tired of doing voices, you hire someone else.
We're going to be on The Simpsons.
They wrote a whole episode about Cheech and Chong.
Very funny.
And very funny.
We're going to do it soon.
Very funny.
Hey, I got a, I'm going to switch gears on us real quick.
I want to do this.
Yeah, really.
The jeans are too tight.
No, I got this car show on Saturdays and it's syndicated all over the place.
They get a job, but we don't have to work.
Okay.
Good morning, next caller.
You're on the air.
Is it the Big Bad Wolf?
This is the Big Bad Wolf.
What you got, Holmes?
Well, I got a car I need to get a number on.
Okay.
What you got?
I got a 92 Astro Van, 13 inch wires, perfect condition, white in color.
Got a nice mural on the back.
Real nice.
13, it's a little small.
Of what?
What's the mural of?
Have you got any room in the back for illegals?
Oh yeah.
I'm a coyote too.
How many can you get in if you stack them like cordwood?
Oh, at least 12, 13.
All right.
Well, that's good.
Easy.
Well, that'll bring the price up.
But the business is getting bad.
So you got, you got Dayton's or what?
Spinners?
13 inch, Dayton's.
You got the knockoffs?
Yep.
Knockoffs, the white wall, got the little chrome chain steering wheel.
You got the light center, the car?
The wheel wells?
Oh no, no, no light.
That's all.
All right.
Thank you.
Next caller.
He's got any lift on it?
Any hop?
Oh yeah.
Two CCE hydraulic pumps.
I like that.
How much?
Real nice.
See, we got to put a number on this.
Why are you getting rid of this thing?
Dude, it sounds like.
How much are you selling?
What is that?
What do you want for it?
How much money?
Oh man, 7,500 would be the dream.
Dream?
That's dreaming.
What are you going to trade it in on?
I'm looking for maybe Escalade.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Are you going to pimp it?
Are you going to get more relatives in there?
Yeah.
How much?
How did you do to get wooden balls?
How much do you spend on this thing?
Not too much.
A little dill in wheeling, trading, not too much.
It's on ground.
I think, I mean, this thing could be worth 7,500 bucks if it's nice.
It sounds like you probably got 10 grand in it.
Yeah, but maybe 10 if you sell it to a white guy.
What's the mural of?
The interesting?
What's the mural of?
What's the mural of?
Is it the Mary?
Oh, Aztec Warrior.
I've never seen one of those.
I guess you're blind, are you?
Oh yeah.
Well, I don't live in an Escalade neighborhood.
I'm cool at 7,500.
We'll give it at the affiliate dealers.
7,500?
7,500.
We're down on an Escalade if you want to train in an Escalade.
Thanks for calling, man.
All right, man.
Thank you.
See you.
Thanks for giving it to us.
It's weird, yeah, so that Saturday show, it goes a little better than that, but they
call in and I bid their cars over the air because I was a car dealer for a long time.
And they take my bids to the dealerships and they're like, we'll put 7,500 in it.
And the dealer honors my bid.
Really?
And if they don't want it, then they call me and say, hey, dude, you put 7,500 in this
low rider.
Come get it.
So I've got to buy them from the dealers if the dealers didn't want them.
Oh, really?
But it saves the listeners a lot of time from having to go to the car dealerships and wrestle
with them.
I can give them a number on the trading out of the gate.
But what if they're full of crap on the radio?
I got a recording of it all and we play it back.
They lie.
Don't lie, man.
Don't lie.
Don't lie.
We're going to be in California.
About three more weeks are going to start in Stockton, Modesto, Sac, San Francisco.
This is a good gig.
Yeah.
And that's what I built the studio for.
This noon thing is just something we started doing because we're here and we got the studio
and we just want to have fun.
Oh, and this is actually a car lot.
No.
So we do this noon show every day in Dallas just for the hell of it.
Just to have guys like you on it.
And then the Saturday deal is like work.
Oh, I see.
It's a specialty.
It pays the bills.
This doesn't pay the bills.
This is just for fun.
What are you guys driving currently?
You can imagine everybody likes this show.
I got a Prius.
Really?
You went green?
Yeah, I got...
You went like red hair green or just green green?
I got two Priuses and a Silverado hybrid.
But they're all juiced.
They're all juiced?
Yeah.
A little bit.
Juiced don't do like Toyotas.
Japanese do.
Juiced.
Oh, oh, oh.
Yeah, they do.
I got friends that are Jewish that have Priuses but they say, oh, this is my kid's car.
They won't pass up to it.
I drive a Volvo.
I'm a Volvo guy.
How many miles on your Volvo?
I don't know.
This is what blows me.
I had Alan Parsons on the other day.
He had an eight-year-old, 70,000-mile car.
I'm like, what's a rich dude like you doing in a mild outused car?
Tom Green, he drives a Challenger.
He was in the other day.
And I just figured, I mean, if I was a big celeb, I'd have something.
I'd be getting a new car.
I don't care about cars.
I mean, I really don't.
It's not your game, man.
I get a brand new car and then I drive it until it falls apart eight years later.
Then I just drive the hell out of it.
And then I get another one.
I don't care.
It has to be just like a big cruiser and the air conditioning and the radio has to work.
That's my requirements.
That's it.
Do you like low riders?
Yeah, you know.
If the radio works and the air conditioning works, yeah, sure.
Do you have any?
I had some.
I had a 55 Chevy Ragtop, man.
It was the cherry.
It was really nice.
But I never had cars as a kid when I was in high school.
I didn't get my first car until I was in college.
How were you?
No question.
When was the peak of the fame and the money?
Like 83?
Well, that was one peak.
Here comes the next.
Yeah.
I mean, we're doing well as well now as we did ever.
Really?
Yeah, ever.
Financially?
Financially.
You're doing as well right now.
Probably better right now and concert-wise.
Yeah, absolutely.
We never had merchandising together before.
Right.
We got that together.
And now we got all these ancillary things.
We got the DVD called Hey, Watch This.
Watch What?
The concert price, we looked at some old tickets.
They were like $2.50, $5 with top price.
I found tickets.
I totally called me last night.
I said, dude, if you really want to go out and find some tickets for $500 a seat.
He said, they're right there at the orchestra pit.
I'm like, I mean, I'm going to have Cheech and Chong in the show.
I'd rather save my grand and just have him in person.
Wow, there you go.
Buy another car.
Really?
Yeah.
A grand-a-spot is what the scalpers were hitting you guys for tonight.
In LA, they were going for $1,200 a piece.
We just sold out Radio City Music Hall in New York.
Never done that before.
We're doing great.
I like today in today's money.
So Cheech and Chong fans, New DVD will not be let down.
It's not up.
It's really good.
It's really, it's very fun.
You stand completely behind.
Absolutely.
And there's stuff that happens offstage, other characters interacting.
There's nobody's ever seen before because we just did it for the first time for this.
It's a very good, it's really well shot.
You get a lot of production value.
And it's the first CD with hydraulics.
Another question.
It's juice.
When y'all were young men and you were starting in this and making fun of all the stuff you
make fun of, did your family, did your dad ever grab you and say, son, you're embarrassing
the family?
My dad, my dad's a policeman.
He's an LAPD for 30 years.
He grabbed me and said, son, I need a hundred albums.
I got all of these guys.
I signed them here.
And get the, did you know to sign them too?
But they never, because when you start crossing over.
No, man.
Cops were our biggest fans.
Yeah.
Yeah, they were.
They were, they, because they, they dug the humor.
Right.
And they were, they were our biggest fans.
I just noticed that a little bit.
When I start getting out there with funny stuff, people close to me.
I mean, the funniest stuff is your own life.
And when you start touching it, the people that are involved in it get all bent.
That's because you're making money and they're not.
Let them get their own show.
They don't mind being ragged on.
They were getting a few bucks out of it.
So that's the way to shut them up.
You're ragged on them.
Just write them a check.
No, no.
Tell them how to get their own show.
It's like Louis C.K., the comedian.
He had ragged on his wife.
She divorced his ass.
Who is y'all's favorite comedians?
Tommy, who's yours?
Top three.
Top three?
I like Sarah Palin.
You know, I like Steve Martin.
I like Richard Pryor.
And Eddie Murphy, I guess.
I like Richard Pryor.
I like Red Fox.
Red Fox is hilarious.
And who else?
I don't know.
There's a lot of...
Chris Rock.
I listen to him.
I like too.
He's very funny.
He's very funny.
Are y'all...
What's the new guy's name that's...
He's a big popular with the Mexican crowd?
Carlos Mencia?
Yeah.
No, that's a TV show.
Oh, George Lopez?
Yeah, George Lopez is funny.
Because everybody's always dissing on him for stealing the stuff.
Not George.
It's Carlos Mencia.
Oh, Mencia.
They steal from each other.
It's like in the family.
Well, who's shirt was that?
Well, it was mine first, but then I gave it to you.
And now my other cousins got it.
The Latin Kings of comedy would go out and they would fight to see who went on first.
Because he would do the act.
The other guys were stealing.
Did you see that movie Funny People with Adam Sandler?
Yeah, I did.
I missed it.
It's probably a pretty good depiction of the life.
Oh, yeah.
In some ways it was.
The first half I liked.
The second half when they got into the love story and all that, I just...
I could do without.
Yeah, yeah.
Sandler's a good guy.
Yeah, it was good.
I liked that movie.
Dave Chappelle.
Bingo.
Yeah.
He's the man.
I loved Dave Chappelle.
I mean, for a black guy.
I did a movie with him before he was really into his groove.
And he was different than I seen him just lately.
And he gave me a big hug because he matured by then.
You guys are awesome.
Like him.
Very funny guy.
I'm ready for him to come back.
But what happened to him, they ate him up.
They took what he had and they wanted more and more.
And that's what happens.
Hollywood will eat you up.
It's a garbage disposal, man.
You work on this material forever and ever and ever.
You go out and then it's gone.
And they want, oh, give me some more.
Okay.
That ain't easy being choosy.
That's why we took 30 years off.
It ain't easy being choosy.
We got to go, guys.
You got to get to your book signing.
Your DVD signing.
DVD signing.
