Iglesias was like a,
01:15
a such a beautiful time in my life and,
01:16
and I feel like it,
01:18
it prepped me for Running Point in a sense just because I
01:21
I was so invested comedically and picking up on styles and
01:25
the people I worked with.
01:26
I was learning so much from.
01:27

02:15
I feel like I mean for me the valley,
02:17

02:27
The valley don't play that.

02:40
but like, besides that,
02:41

02:43
yeah, or just any general event at the sports arena or
02:46
when that turns into a swap meet.
02:48
What do you do in Pico?
02:50
I got a day to day like DUI checkpoints every
02:54
Saturday. It's just a family neighborhood,
02:56

02:59
Alright, cool.,
03:01
Newport Beach, dude,
03:03

03:08
I feel like that that just that feels fancy.
03:11
Yeah, look at those streets,
03:12
nice and paved. Oh yeah,
03:13

03:21
I'm super close with with my friend.
03:23
I, I think I'm officiating their wedding and I'm like preparing
03:26
to do that. Apparently you can get it in like 5
03:29
minutes or something like that.
03:30
That's his, his neighborhood.
03:32
We've seen it change so much,
03:34
so gentrification. For sure,
03:37
but he's at peace with where it sits now he's
03:40
not there anymore but he still has love for it,
03:42
you know. Yeah,
03:43
shout out. And Going back to the acting thing like
03:46
growing up, do you think you'd make it as an actor
03:48
like you always want to be an actor?
03:49
I did. I mean,
03:50
I, I, I just enjoyed it so I just kinda
03:53
went with the flow.
03:54
I mean the journey definitely has,
03:56
I don't wanna categorize it as ups and downs.
03:58
I definitely learned learning experience,
04:01
you know, I don't wanna,
04:02
it just, it is what it is,
04:03
but yeah. Definitely,
04:05
it's something I wanted to do.
04:06
I had support from my family.
04:09
one of like the best moments is like watching my
04:11
grandma being able to see my stuff.
04:13
She don't, she don't speak English,
04:14
right, but like,
04:16
you know, she,
04:16
I, I, we played Running Point for her and she's
04:18
watching the first episode and then she sees me like like,
04:22
you know, selling concessions with Jackie Moreno and she's watching and
04:25
she's like. I palomitasquebuquetepa and she thought that she thought like
04:30
that was it like and then she saw me throughout the whole
04:33
series and she was like blown away and she was like this
04:35
show's gonna be so good.
04:36
Like she's a big Running Point fan,
04:39
other than like watching like La Casa de los Famosos
04:42
or like stuff in Spanish,
04:44
dog, she watches Run.
04:45
Point in Yellowstone, so I'm in,
04:47
I'm in Yellowstone era,
04:48
which is crazy. Yeah,
04:50
she's got a crush on Kevin Costner.
04:52
Kevin Costner, that's her man.
04:55
So Kevin Costner, if you're watching this,
04:56
which I know you are,
04:57
don't hit on my grandma,
04:58
dog. Oh, don't.
05:00
I say, at least you know,
05:01
take her out to dinner or something.
05:02
How do you explain like some of the stuff like to her
05:04
like. Do you keep it real with her like,
05:07
yo, I got committed in the show,
05:08
or like how do you explain that in Spanish?
05:10
We, we haven't talked about it.
05:13
She won't bring it up,
05:15
but you know it happened she yeah,
05:17
she saw, no,
05:18
she saw, she saw it.
05:19
It's funny because like she'll come over to the house and she'll
05:21
start watching Yellowstone and you know she'll like there'll be like a
05:25
sex scene on Yellowstone and I'll walk.
05:27
And when she's watching the sex scene and it's almost like walking
05:29
in on a little kid,
05:30
she'll get like really nervous and try and try and hide her
05:33
like my girlfriend were walking and she'd be like,
05:35
you know la pool fabrio,
05:37
you know, she'll like try and blame me.
05:39
But yeah, we actually haven't spoken about me,
05:42
getting it on on on Running Point.
05:44
All right, man.
05:44
Well, I mean,
05:45
I don't wanna take up too much of your time,
05:46
so anything else you wanna plug.
05:48
You talk about I know you do stand up.
05:50
Oh, you know,
05:50
