00:45
I saw you on the,
00:46
on the big screen.
00:47
I took a picture of it,
00:48
brother. So how was the experience being in La Casita?
00:51
Is the bathroom working?
00:53
Did it have electricity?
00:54
Who's pulling the girls,
00:56
bro? Talk to me.
00:58
The casita was crazy,
01:00
bro. Soon as I get to the airport,
01:02
Ana de Armas is at the airport.
01:04
So I'm like, Hold on,
01:05
I wanna get a picture with her.
01:06
But I was so nervous,
01:07
bro. I was like,
01:08
Yo, it's Ana de Armas,
01:10
bro. It's not,
01:10
it's not every day you see somebody like this,
01:12
you feel me? And then people was walking up to her
01:14
asking her for pictures,
01:15
but yo, I,
01:16

01:17

01:20
And then somebody came and asked me for a picture.
01:25
I looked over to see if she saw.
01:27
She did not see.
01:28
Damn. I finally asked her for the picture at the airport
01:31
and I was like,
01:31
All right, take care.
01:32
And then the next day we get to the casita.
01:35
I'm 24 Moscow mules deep.
01:39
Dang, and I was on another level.
01:41
I was a different Roddell Ortiz that night,
01:44

01:46
it's beautiful, bro.
01:47
There's no bathroom in there though,
01:48
by the way, that's the only thing.
01:49
And then I see Ana de Armas there again.
01:51
My girlfriend was like,
01:52
You posted her more than you posted me,
01:54
brother. So back in the day,
01:56
back when I was living on the East Coast,
01:58
I remember pulling up on you for a couple skits,
02:00
brother, and watching your creativity in person was insane because there
02:04
was no script, no nothing.
02:06
That's the idea. Pull up and we're shooting it.
02:10
Let's keep it moving.
02:11
So,, we,
02:12
we made a holiday classic and And I have the video here
02:15
The shit's hairy as fuck,
02:18
check, check the arm back.
02:19
The back arms is jiggling like you,
02:21
you gain entry. Open sesame Hall.
02:23
Look at that meat.
02:24
Look at that. Look at that jiggle and it cooks every
02:27
Thanksgiving. The one and only Huang Snow,
02:31
this was his idea.
02:32
He said, Yo,
02:33
we should make a video like this.
02:36
And I said, Oh my God,
02:37
that is. A banger.
02:39
We got all the props and stuff ready and yo,
02:41
we just, and we had so much fun filming that day
02:44
I had on the drive there.
02:45
I was mad nervous.
02:46
I'm like damn, we have no script.
02:47

02:48

02:50
Pull up, bro.

02:59
Like I know Kendrick sampled you,
03:01
dog, and we're in LA.
03:03
Hey yo, what the fuck?
03:05
How was that? I was sleeping and it was blowing my
03:07
phone up because I had to get up early for a flight
03:10
to Montreal the next day.
03:11
And everybody was calling me and it was like,
03:13
yo, Kendrick sampled you and I could not believe it because
03:17
I'm thinking, OK,
03:18
maybe I'll get a sample in a Bad Bunny or Aventura,
03:21
you know, but Kendrick Lamar,
03:23
what the fuck? And then I checked the song and my
03:26
voice was there and I could not believe because I'm like,
03:29
yo, they never told us about this,
03:30
you know. Finally we,
03:31
we got in contact with them and you know they,
03:34
they,. They credited me on the song and they
03:37
gave us some money,
03:38
