Well, if you notice 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.500 the majority of those women I mentioned died 00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:55.500 How you been brother I'm house you were talking 00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:58.300 about the weather it is hottest balls over there 00:02:58.300 --> 00:03:03.159 I believe Yeah, yeah I could be like no man. 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:04.919 It's kind of like LA bullshit. It's too fucking 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:09.580 hot. I Was in I was in Palm Springs this last 00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:13.039 weekend and You know, we're indoors so it shouldn't 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.620 really affect us But and I've been to Palm Springs 00:03:15.620 --> 00:03:17.960 before so it's a desert you gotta kind of expect 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.159 it to be hot but it was like eight in the morning 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.759 or nine in the morning when I'm arriving in the 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:29.150 driver gets me there and it's some 114 Wow. Wow. 00:03:29.150 --> 00:03:32.389 It's 8 .30 in the morning. Yeah. Wow. And it 00:03:32.389 --> 00:03:34.729 was only going to get hotter. So come on, man. 00:03:35.069 --> 00:03:39.909 We're melting over here. Jesus. Man, dude. It's 00:03:39.909 --> 00:03:42.650 hot. So let's start from the beginning, Carlos. 00:03:43.469 --> 00:03:45.189 Tell us, I mean, where you're from, where you 00:03:45.189 --> 00:03:47.789 grew up, and how we got to become the voice of 00:03:47.789 --> 00:03:51.349 the great Dom Santiago, man. Take us away. Take 00:03:51.349 --> 00:03:54.050 it away. I was born and raised in San Francisco, 00:03:54.050 --> 00:04:00.210 California. It was pretty the way to get to where 00:04:00.210 --> 00:04:03.530 I am now or to do what I do now Was pretty different 00:04:03.530 --> 00:04:05.569 because it was so long ago and that's just a 00:04:05.569 --> 00:04:08.770 fact I mean if you look at IMDB or you look at 00:04:08.770 --> 00:04:10.710 other stuff I've done I've been at this for a 00:04:10.710 --> 00:04:14.050 while, but I started just pretty traditional 00:04:14.050 --> 00:04:18.709 with you know studying coming up and you know 00:04:18.709 --> 00:04:21.050 Doing you know regional theater and and being 00:04:21.050 --> 00:04:23.250 a kind of a theater guy and making a living and 00:04:23.250 --> 00:04:25.600 this is the this is the Cliff Notes really, I 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.339 mean, nobody knows what Cliff Notes is anymore. 00:04:27.819 --> 00:04:33.139 But the abbreviated version is that, you know, 00:04:33.139 --> 00:04:34.860 when things start to happen, when you start, 00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:37.600 you know, being on TV shows, you know, people, 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.240 you know, notice it's, it's one of the old like 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.420 sayings in show businesses. The most important 00:04:42.420 --> 00:04:44.600 thing is to be seen, to be, to, you know, so 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.060 putting yourself out there is key. And I was 00:04:47.060 --> 00:04:49.100 really fortunate that I came up right at the 00:04:49.100 --> 00:04:52.259 tail end of, of only like five networks. And, 00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:56.660 you know, Good things happen when you pilot the 00:04:56.660 --> 00:04:59.100 Enterprise, you know what I mean? Yeah, I know. 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:03.339 Actually, he's part of the Star Trek cast also. 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:08.019 So by the time that these new consoles... Yeah, 00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:10.160 this is awesome, guys. I've never told this story 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.139 so succinctly, so thank you for the opportunity. 00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:21.819 So we ended up... being involved in cartoons 00:05:21.819 --> 00:05:25.779 and anime dubs exactly and I mean exactly at 00:05:25.779 --> 00:05:28.180 the time when they were coming up and I was well 00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:32.639 aware of PlayStation 2 and Nintendo and I mean 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.639 everything every console there's ever been Sega 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.819 Genesis and on and on but all of a sudden there 00:05:37.819 --> 00:05:41.129 was this new this new generation, literally and 00:05:41.129 --> 00:05:43.970 metaphorically, of the original Xbox and PlayStation 00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:46.649 2 was up in its game. And by the time we were 00:05:46.649 --> 00:05:50.649 at Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, I was already 00:05:50.649 --> 00:05:52.850 like a veteran because I worked on all these 00:05:52.850 --> 00:05:56.889 games while I was working in TV, you know, on 00:05:56.889 --> 00:05:59.009 camera and things like that. And you just never 00:05:59.009 --> 00:06:00.889 know what's going to what's going to work like 00:06:00.889 --> 00:06:02.750 they ask. They ask actors all the time. They're 00:06:02.750 --> 00:06:04.970 like, did you know that Gears was going to be 00:06:04.970 --> 00:06:08.449 this big? Absolutely not. In fact, all there 00:06:08.449 --> 00:06:13.509 was was doubt back in 2006, 2007. And as you 00:06:13.509 --> 00:06:16.310 can imagine, I know the story better than probably 00:06:16.310 --> 00:06:18.149 anybody besides the developers that were there 00:06:18.149 --> 00:06:20.730 at the time. I was there every step of the way. 00:06:21.329 --> 00:06:24.129 And to answer your question even more directly, 00:06:24.490 --> 00:06:28.610 since I tightened that whole story up, is I... 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.660 I was the first of the cast that we've had for 00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:37.600 five games. I was the person that has been involved 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:41.660 the longest. Wow. And that's kind of a fun trivia 00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:42.980 thing because you think, what about the rest 00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:45.519 of the squad? What about all those sorts of things? 00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:49.720 Well, the reality is that when I... was trying 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.360 to book the job. The game had a different name. 00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:55.980 For the people that don't know the story, it's 00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:58.120 kind of fun. Originally, this was going to be 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:02.019 an Unreal Tournament game. Oh, yeah. I mean, 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:03.399 you think of the aesthetic, you think of the 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.459 company, and it just makes sense. I believe at 00:07:06.459 --> 00:07:09.759 first it was Unreal Warfare. Then when I started 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.439 auditioning and all that stuff and booked the 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.360 job. So now I got cast in this game called Warfare. 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.459 And so I'm in this game, Warfare, and it had 00:07:19.459 --> 00:07:24.519 a team and a squad that I never met them. We 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.500 never got that far. But I know that all of a 00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:31.579 sudden, everybody got fired but me. I mean, essentially, 00:07:32.180 --> 00:07:35.399 that's what it boils down to. And I'm grateful. 00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:38.120 And I'm grateful not just for keeping the gig, 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.240 obviously. But the reason was really great. And 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.860 that was that the team at Epic and Cliff and 00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:48.540 Rod and everybody, they seemed to kind of agree 00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:52.160 with my choices. Because Cliff Bozinski said 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.699 this every now and again, that the people that 00:07:55.699 --> 00:07:58.040 were playing Latinos or anything that might be 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.699 Latino that has a name like Garcia or Gomez or 00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:04.339 whatever, they pretty much all sounded like a 00:08:04.339 --> 00:08:08.509 knockoff cheech. You know what I mean? So that's 00:08:08.509 --> 00:08:10.670 kind of what people expected, what they wanted. 00:08:11.050 --> 00:08:14.730 I didn't approach it that way. And I think that's 00:08:14.730 --> 00:08:17.509 what kind of, I'm speculating now, but I like 00:08:17.509 --> 00:08:19.170 to think that that's what kept me in the mix 00:08:19.170 --> 00:08:25.230 because there was alternate takes somewhere out 00:08:25.230 --> 00:08:27.290 there in the universe. There are takes where 00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:30.430 it was like, why don't you make it more urban? 00:08:30.569 --> 00:08:34.500 You know what I mean? And, you know, you guys 00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:37.059 are in the RGV, you know, which has become sort 00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:39.659 of almost a second home to me. And I got to tell 00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:41.539 you, you guys understand what they mean when 00:08:41.539 --> 00:08:45.820 they're saying that. So everything went from 00:08:45.820 --> 00:08:48.899 being like, you know, military banter and sort 00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:51.279 of, you know, what's that? And helping the player 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.620 along to like, Marcus, what's up? Hey, what's 00:08:54.620 --> 00:09:08.870 going on? Why are they coming in here? No, so 00:09:08.870 --> 00:09:13.389 so so when I I had a real handle on who I thought 00:09:13.389 --> 00:09:16.009 Dom was from the very beginning the more story 00:09:16.009 --> 00:09:19.070 they gave me the more Notes and the more lore 00:09:19.070 --> 00:09:22.649 that I that I was getting given You know, man, 00:09:22.769 --> 00:09:26.940 you just you know, this guy's not And I'm not 00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:29.080 trivializing, it's just a fact. This guy's not 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:30.659 just the guy from the neighborhood. He's not. 00:09:31.659 --> 00:09:35.679 He comes from a military family. And, you know, 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:38.480 enough for nothing, man. I mean, I think I can 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.360 do this in 2024. I can say that from back then 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.820 to now, not only do I know the guy, but I've 00:09:45.820 --> 00:09:48.759 pretty much been validated and justified that 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.460 me being that bitch, you know, the guy that asked 00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:54.440 for detail. And then he's always going, he wouldn't 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.139 say that. I mean, that's exactly what was going 00:09:57.139 --> 00:10:00.940 on. I was like, why would he say that here? He 00:10:00.940 --> 00:10:05.179 wouldn't do that. His objectives and why he's 00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:09.159 fighting, all of that stuff is not the obvious. 00:10:09.220 --> 00:10:11.500 It's not what you guys think. I've done my research. 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.580 By the time we got to books and comics and all 00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:16.679 that, now we're all working together. We're all 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.700 collaborating. So now we're up to like Gears 00:10:18.700 --> 00:10:23.820 2 and Gears 3. I think I've been proven right 00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:28.179 that this guy was not that voice, that pretty... 00:10:28.179 --> 00:10:32.940 Almost dismissive, to be really fair. There are 00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:36.000 characters of all kinds of ethnicities and races 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.059 that you get set up for stuff, you know what 00:10:40.059 --> 00:10:42.559 I mean? Like in storytelling, it sounds like 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.320 a joke, but you always know in the horror movie 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:48.370 who's going to die first. trying to deconstruct 00:10:48.370 --> 00:10:49.950 that, you know what I mean? And that's good. 00:10:50.309 --> 00:10:51.850 And that's sort of my thing is that I was like, 00:10:52.129 --> 00:10:55.389 this guy's not just that. He's not just the what 00:10:55.389 --> 00:10:57.789 is that guy and incoming, you know what I mean? 00:10:58.090 --> 00:11:02.549 This guy, every word, because like I said, I 00:11:02.549 --> 00:11:06.149 am that bitch. I wanted every word to belong 00:11:06.149 --> 00:11:10.490 to Dom. And here's trivia, and again, it'll finish 00:11:10.490 --> 00:11:13.570 my answer to this crazy speech about Dom, is 00:11:13.570 --> 00:11:17.990 that every actor in the squad got to say, sup, 00:11:18.269 --> 00:11:23.129 bitches, okay? Every single one. But it became 00:11:23.129 --> 00:11:28.929 mine because I just knew how he would say it. 00:11:29.049 --> 00:11:31.110 And I don't think that that was the case with 00:11:31.110 --> 00:11:33.389 every one of my squad mates. I think that they 00:11:33.389 --> 00:11:35.590 were doing what is, you know, it's pretty obvious. 00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:38.070 It's just, you know, a trash talk, you know? 00:11:38.289 --> 00:11:42.409 But to me, it was... it almost had an air of 00:11:42.409 --> 00:11:46.070 this the spicy flavor of my sub bitches is that 00:11:46.070 --> 00:11:50.389 it's vindictive yeah it's it's it's um it's about 00:11:50.389 --> 00:11:53.330 something it's not just like you know shit yeah 00:11:53.330 --> 00:11:56.789 it's kind of shit yeah yeah yeah but but the 00:11:56.789 --> 00:12:00.429 sub bitches is very in your face yes you're the 00:12:00.429 --> 00:12:03.110 enemy and uh and you killed my brother you killed 00:12:03.110 --> 00:12:06.610 my family you this is it's one of those moments 00:12:06.610 --> 00:12:10.250 where dom has a bit of release and not just, 00:12:10.250 --> 00:12:14.129 you know, crying. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, consider 00:12:14.129 --> 00:12:17.450 the fact at the time where Xbox was flowing with, 00:12:17.649 --> 00:12:19.549 I mean, I'm going to bring this up. It was flowing 00:12:19.549 --> 00:12:22.389 with Halo for so long. Halo was doing great. 00:12:22.909 --> 00:12:25.190 Then all of a sudden it happened to where Bungie 00:12:25.190 --> 00:12:26.769 just said, you know what, we're just going to, 00:12:26.789 --> 00:12:29.809 we're done with this. And 343 Studios said, you 00:12:29.809 --> 00:12:32.129 know, we'll take it. And they literally milked 00:12:32.129 --> 00:12:34.559 it. To me, I think they just milked it. So we 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.500 needed something fresh. And when Gears came along, 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.580 I go, well, you know, let's give me my buddy 00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:41.639 of mine said, let's give it a try. We fell in 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.480 love with it real quick. All the characters, 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.519 every character was like genuine. Yeah. And it 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.799 was an awesome story. That's when the recasting 00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:53.299 really made a difference. Like I said, I never 00:12:53.299 --> 00:12:57.740 met the original cats, but my guys, I mean, we 00:12:57.740 --> 00:13:00.259 we've all been at it together for so long. But 00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:04.379 like we we've always had the. The great fortune 00:13:04.379 --> 00:13:06.600 because it is rare in show business in anything 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.960 any TV show cartoon doesn't matter It's rare 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.799 for like the two leads or the two You know your 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.500 your player one player to your co -op guys. It's 00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:19.539 very rare for them to record together because 00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:22.360 Technically speaking it's it you get you guys 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.559 work in sound right cleaner audio I mean, I saw 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.779 you guys very responsibly muting my mic, you 00:13:28.779 --> 00:13:31.669 know Yeah, putting your guys off when I'm talking 00:13:31.669 --> 00:13:34.409 all those things come into play to the hundred 00:13:34.409 --> 00:13:38.169 degree in a in a property and Thing a project 00:13:38.169 --> 00:13:41.409 like this and so me and we have the great and 00:13:41.409 --> 00:13:43.389 it shows man I know it shows because I I play 00:13:43.389 --> 00:13:46.009 the games me and John DeMaggio who plays Marcus 00:13:46.009 --> 00:13:49.289 Yeah, we we work together when when when there's 00:13:49.289 --> 00:13:51.509 a scene when mark with Marcus and Dom we're in 00:13:51.509 --> 00:13:54.289 the booth together and that is by now by 2024 00:13:54.289 --> 00:13:56.690 standards it's completely unheard of because 00:13:56.690 --> 00:13:58.830 they can clean it up they can overlap us they 00:13:58.830 --> 00:14:01.549 can make they can get choices and create a conversation 00:14:01.549 --> 00:14:04.549 right seems like we're in the same room but they've 00:14:04.549 --> 00:14:06.710 been very smart i think because john and i have 00:14:06.710 --> 00:14:09.970 been friends for over 20 years we've we've had 00:14:09.970 --> 00:14:13.960 uh We've played we played cop one and cop two 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:20.120 on spawn the animated series. Oh There's an anime 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.639 there's an anime on YouTube called gogo 13 Queen 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.659 B. It's for free. You can see it it's it's uh, 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.259 it's from the late 90s and He's gogo 13. That's 00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:34.519 James Bond assassin in this in this anime. That's 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:41.039 very adult dirty is all So there's this cartoon 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.940 out there that it's Marcus versus Dom. And it's 00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:48.740 cool. It's really awesome. But what that brings 00:14:48.740 --> 00:14:51.019 to what I was saying is that he and I have a 00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:55.279 shorthand. We have a chemistry that really, every 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.980 game, every scene, every Maria scene, every Gears 00:14:58.980 --> 00:15:02.360 3 scene, everything I think is kind of a little 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.100 better because we play off each other. And all 00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:09.840 these improvisations, John's Master at what he 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.919 does and he really is really good. And I tend 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.279 to think I'm okay, too And when we start fooling 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.139 around in the booth There's stuff that I could 00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:20.799 tell you man, like I'll give you a couple, you 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.899 know, how who wants toast and all that? Yes, 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.659 that's John just improvising. That's we have 00:15:27.659 --> 00:15:30.039 We have this new we have this new this news. 00:15:30.059 --> 00:15:32.659 It was called the net not natural. It's uh, the 00:15:32.659 --> 00:15:34.700 Whatever the torch is, you know when we finally 00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:37.299 got a flamethrower. Yeah The flip but it has 00:15:37.299 --> 00:15:42.929 a name I know what you're talking about He came 00:15:42.929 --> 00:15:48.169 up with who wants toast and My favorite and and 00:15:48.169 --> 00:15:50.789 again since we're going down trivia lane with 00:15:50.789 --> 00:15:53.269 Dom here If you guys don't mind if you'll indulge 00:15:53.269 --> 00:15:59.500 me We were in the booth together and we they 00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:01.940 hadn't they had they usually have drawings or 00:16:01.940 --> 00:16:04.700 concept art for the monsters The new monsters 00:16:04.700 --> 00:16:07.820 the old monsters any changes to gear to to you 00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:09.600 know, when they say these frags are different 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.820 They're like this we tend to be able to see them, 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.840 you know, so um, they they had these new I don't 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:16.820 know I don't remember right now if it was there. 00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:21.389 I think it was the wretches but in the script. 00:16:21.549 --> 00:16:23.529 They didn't have no pictures. So they just said 00:16:23.529 --> 00:16:26.110 we were reading along together doing the lines. 00:16:26.389 --> 00:16:29.370 And we both at the same time saw that it says 00:16:29.370 --> 00:16:33.129 a bunch of creatures approach their feet and 00:16:33.129 --> 00:16:38.509 they are monkey like dogs. And then it says these 00:16:38.509 --> 00:16:42.490 monkey dogs approach Dom. And it said monkey 00:16:42.490 --> 00:16:46.649 dog like twice. And John started going monkey 00:16:46.649 --> 00:16:52.830 dog, monkey dog. That's the monkey dog. And I 00:16:52.830 --> 00:16:56.269 couldn't fucking resist, right? So now that we're 00:16:56.269 --> 00:17:04.529 rolling, I was like, Marcus, monkey dog. And 00:17:04.529 --> 00:17:10.490 he started going, the monkey dog. And we just 00:17:10.490 --> 00:17:13.650 kept saying monkey dog. And with things like 00:17:13.650 --> 00:17:16.609 that, you know, it was funny the first five times 00:17:16.609 --> 00:17:19.950 we did it. Right. After the fifth time, Nobody's 00:17:19.950 --> 00:17:23.589 laughing anymore, but we're like hysterical and 00:17:23.589 --> 00:17:25.329 everybody else is like fucking hilarious. Can 00:17:25.329 --> 00:17:37.150 we keep going? I had a question for the question. 00:17:37.349 --> 00:17:39.529 I've been in the bank for a while. I'm pretty 00:17:39.529 --> 00:17:41.369 sure you've gotten asked this question quite 00:17:41.369 --> 00:17:47.329 a few times when you get the scripts and to do 00:17:47.329 --> 00:17:51.420 the role plays on the game. The scene where you 00:17:51.420 --> 00:17:55.420 find Dom finds his wife I mean when you read 00:17:55.420 --> 00:17:58.680 that how do you prepare yourself for that in? 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:04.180 particular scene I Appreciate the question and 00:18:04.180 --> 00:18:06.559 I and I I understand it now. I'm sweating you 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:20.690 guys give me a second I'll tell you the story, 00:18:20.910 --> 00:18:22.849 and I'll try. I've told the story before, but 00:18:22.849 --> 00:18:25.730 I'll try for you and your viewers. I'll try to 00:18:25.730 --> 00:18:28.769 give you a little more detail, a little bit more 00:18:28.769 --> 00:18:34.430 spin on what was happening. So unlike other games, 00:18:35.190 --> 00:18:37.529 Gears of War is a very special property. There's 00:18:37.529 --> 00:18:39.470 no two ways about it. If you think about all 00:18:39.470 --> 00:18:41.809 the games, I've been really fortunate to work 00:18:41.809 --> 00:18:46.049 in so many. Met marquee properties. I mean, I'm 00:18:46.049 --> 00:18:48.910 still working with Assassin's Creed. I'm still 00:18:48.910 --> 00:18:51.250 working with Saints Row I'm still working with 00:18:51.250 --> 00:18:54.750 payday I'm still I can go down the line so many 00:18:54.750 --> 00:18:58.390 cool ass properties that are on game 3 game 5 00:18:58.390 --> 00:19:02.869 game 13 so I am I've seen a lot of the process 00:19:02.869 --> 00:19:05.730 from back in that from like, you know now it's 00:19:05.730 --> 00:19:09.150 called the og phase and and and now currently 00:19:09.150 --> 00:19:12.589 what's happening with games and what's still 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.019 doesn't happen, which happened really wonderfully 00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:18.900 with Gears, is we do get the script. It's treated 00:19:18.900 --> 00:19:23.220 like a feature film or a series. I can see where 00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:25.140 we're going, where we're headed with the thought 00:19:25.140 --> 00:19:27.640 process. So I can work on the script in advance. 00:19:28.019 --> 00:19:29.599 And again, what I say, I'm that bitch, right? 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.400 So I get the script in advance. I tear it up 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.279 and figure out what I see there and then talk 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.599 to the director and talk to the client, talk 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.950 to the coalition now. basically and say, look, 00:19:43.130 --> 00:19:45.289 this is what I'm thinking. Are we on the same 00:19:45.289 --> 00:19:49.829 page? And this is so. So now you know why I get 00:19:49.829 --> 00:19:53.250 to that level when I show up ready to work. And 00:19:53.250 --> 00:19:55.650 now this is the part I have said before, and 00:19:55.650 --> 00:19:58.410 that is that to other podcasts, to other interviewers 00:19:58.410 --> 00:20:01.670 is that when I showed up and the Maria scene, 00:20:01.730 --> 00:20:03.589 like you said, you read it, you're like, fuck, 00:20:03.769 --> 00:20:06.849 man, like like this is not. your basic video 00:20:06.849 --> 00:20:10.190 game cutscenes. Yeah, exactly. They're never, 00:20:10.309 --> 00:20:12.950 and I can say this confidently, people will always 00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:16.829 bring up a scene from Final Fantasy or Halo, 00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:20.170 it's not the same. It's not the same to have 00:20:20.170 --> 00:20:25.470 a human person have to go through, and by virtue 00:20:25.470 --> 00:20:27.789 of your playing the game, you go through it. 00:20:28.230 --> 00:20:33.130 It's something so horrible, right? So I thought... 00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:34.720 I'll tell you what I thought first, and then 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.119 I'll tell you what happened. I thought I was 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.720 going to come in and tell the director, the producers, 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.339 that I was going to say, hey, so this is what 00:20:44.339 --> 00:20:47.099 I think. I think this is dark. I think this is 00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:52.400 fucked up. I think that if I act this, I'm going 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:57.039 to need to optimize the situation in the recording 00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:01.500 studio. John, I don't know how he feels about 00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:05.069 this. to them that it's going to be a fucking 00:21:05.069 --> 00:21:11.549 mess. And I said, so that's what I'm ready to 00:21:11.549 --> 00:21:14.690 do. But I want you to tell me if you really, 00:21:14.809 --> 00:21:16.210 and I'll never forget this for the rest of my 00:21:16.210 --> 00:21:18.869 life, I said, do you want me to go there? Now, 00:21:18.869 --> 00:21:20.829 what I thought they were going to say is, what 00:21:20.829 --> 00:21:22.829 the fuck is wrong with you? It's a video game. 00:21:23.809 --> 00:21:26.130 Right. Right. Exactly. What are you thinking, 00:21:26.230 --> 00:21:28.750 Mr. De Niro? Could we just get the monsters and 00:21:28.750 --> 00:21:32.690 move forward? You know what I mean? Well. This 00:21:32.690 --> 00:21:34.650 is what their reaction was. I said, do you want 00:21:34.650 --> 00:21:37.730 me to go there? Unanimously, they went, yeah. 00:21:42.349 --> 00:21:47.470 It was practically like giddy, like, fuck yeah, 00:21:47.509 --> 00:21:49.910 let's do that shit. And I was like, yeah, it's 00:21:49.910 --> 00:21:51.670 easy for you guys to say, yeah, let's do that. 00:21:52.210 --> 00:21:54.369 I have to go, I have to go. that's something 00:21:54.369 --> 00:21:58.109 that no human being, you can live 80, 90 years 00:21:58.109 --> 00:21:59.910 in your life and never go through anything even 00:21:59.910 --> 00:22:05.269 close to that, right? This is sci -fi horror, 00:22:05.849 --> 00:22:10.710 every kind of genre. It is best in one scene, 00:22:10.730 --> 00:22:16.670 right? So I'll give you guys a very, it's not 00:22:16.670 --> 00:22:18.390 like a secret, it's just not known very much. 00:22:18.650 --> 00:22:23.569 I did the mocap for that too. Yeah, so me and 00:22:23.569 --> 00:22:27.089 John were in North Carolina, and I was on their 00:22:27.089 --> 00:22:31.089 mocap stage, and I wore the dot suit, which, 00:22:31.250 --> 00:22:34.210 by the way, if you guys ever think about doing 00:22:34.210 --> 00:22:41.789 mocap, don't. Notice. Notice. Right now. Unless 00:22:41.789 --> 00:22:45.750 you are far more secure with your ego than I 00:22:45.750 --> 00:22:49.940 was, because that, you could put Anybody you 00:22:49.940 --> 00:22:52.259 could put an athlete a movie star in that mocap 00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:54.279 suit and we've seen like people with the dots 00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:56.140 and shit I mean, I just watched a video of the 00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:58.240 cat from stray wearing the dots. Okay, right 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.900 So it's really common and I've done it on a few 00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:03.519 games But that was that was the first time that 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:06.559 I was balls out, you know doing a scene It was 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.980 about me and it was like doing theater I had 00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:11.980 the scene memorized and I was doing the I was 00:23:11.980 --> 00:23:14.759 doing like it was in a movie or a play Which 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:17.559 is cool as shit, but it means I have to act it 00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.329 twice Yeah, okay when we record it now I had 00:23:21.329 --> 00:23:22.849 to act it when we were doing the motion capture 00:23:22.849 --> 00:23:24.990 most of them But the but the reason I tell you 00:23:24.990 --> 00:23:27.410 guys and your viewers is when you watch it now, 00:23:27.630 --> 00:23:30.269 it's not like a robot It's it's me. It's not 00:23:30.269 --> 00:23:35.869 that Maria scene is completely mine and I Had 00:23:35.869 --> 00:23:38.410 them turn down the lights in the recording studio 00:23:38.410 --> 00:23:44.210 number that bitch. Yeah I I did the scene and 00:23:44.210 --> 00:23:46.930 I I don't know man, I don't know how much, I 00:23:46.930 --> 00:23:49.130 mean, I'm trying to keep this stuff succinct 00:23:49.130 --> 00:23:54.630 here, but I will tell you, it was really, really 00:23:54.630 --> 00:23:59.220 hard. And really, I was going through, really, 00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:01.220 everything you hear and see. I'm really going 00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:04.579 through it, like, for realies. And John, you 00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:08.480 know, I think he lucked out in the dialogue department 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.180 that he got to say, you know, Dom, it's OK. Which, 00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:15.039 by the way, it's not fucking OK. Exactly. There's 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.519 almost a tradition now, at this point with Gears, 00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.519 something horrible happens. And they go, like 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.279 when Dom bites it in three, Anya's like, it's 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:34.420 OK, Marcus, it's OK. Anyway, so so we we did 00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:40.039 the scene and I went there and the I think it 00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:44.960 played we got it in one take and When they yeah, 00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:55.369 fuck it. Fuck. Yeah I should say shit. Yeah I 00:24:55.369 --> 00:25:00.289 can do this all day I'll give your your viewers 00:25:00.289 --> 00:25:09.529 that played Gears 1 flashbacks That's why I had 00:25:09.529 --> 00:25:13.049 to lighten the mood with revival. So yeah, man, 00:25:13.250 --> 00:25:16.190 we did the thing. And again, what I thought we 00:25:16.190 --> 00:25:17.029 were going to do, like, so what goes through 00:25:17.029 --> 00:25:18.509 your mind when you read that in the script? What 00:25:18.509 --> 00:25:20.529 went through my mind is, I can't believe they're 00:25:20.529 --> 00:25:22.509 really going to let me do this because it's pretty 00:25:22.509 --> 00:25:26.589 heavy shit. That being said, it completely changed 00:25:26.589 --> 00:25:32.890 my career. It changed everything. It was the 00:25:32.890 --> 00:25:35.430 coolest thing at that point. It was the coolest 00:25:35.430 --> 00:25:37.750 thing that had ever happened because people kind 00:25:37.750 --> 00:25:39.480 of. didn't there was all there's always trolls 00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:41.259 and haters that will be like what the fuck is 00:25:41.259 --> 00:25:44.039 this let's kill monsters but yeah by and large 00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:46.259 everybody was like you know they they felt for 00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:48.420 dom they understood his story more they they 00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:50.160 tapped in him you know you got to remember the 00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:52.839 first person you ever the first thing you ever 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:55.180 encounter in the gears of war universe if you've 00:25:55.180 --> 00:25:58.500 never even heard of gears of war yeah first person 00:25:58.500 --> 00:26:01.460 you see you don't see marcus first you see dom 00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:06.660 you hear jack rip that door and then you see 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:09.259 What does Gears of War look like? It looks like 00:26:09.259 --> 00:26:11.799 Dom. It's the cog armor. It's the Lancer. It's 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.380 Jack. And then the brothers are immediately taking 00:26:15.380 --> 00:26:17.839 us on this trip that would go on for so long, 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.119 you know? And I wanted that weight there when 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.180 we did the Maria scene. And so to wrap that up, 00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:29.559 I will tell you. So there's a reason. And I blame 00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.980 myself that for three, that scene that I mentioned 00:26:32.980 --> 00:26:35.859 lightly, I said, you know, Dom bites it. Yeah. 00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:39.299 I really feel that somebody, I don't know who, 00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:41.380 but somebody was like, one more time, they were 00:26:41.380 --> 00:26:45.119 like, yeah, let's do that. You know what I mean? 00:26:45.299 --> 00:26:49.039 Yeah. And, you know, that's, I don't resent that. 00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:51.000 I welcome it and I appreciate it. I'm grateful 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:54.180 that I got to tell the story and that I got to 00:26:54.180 --> 00:26:57.240 do that thing I do, man. Right. It changed the 00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:00.160 way the players interacted with the team, too. 00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:03.079 It was such a pivotal moment. You've been you've 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.920 been grinding away on this epic journey to save 00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:12.019 your family. Yep. And for it to just go away. 00:27:12.190 --> 00:27:16.250 Yeah, be for not and and I'm laying the cat on 00:27:16.250 --> 00:27:18.509 the back here when I got to that point of that 00:27:18.509 --> 00:27:21.190 game. Yeah, bro. I had to put my control out. 00:27:21.230 --> 00:27:24.549 I balled up, bro. Yeah. Oh, my God. Do this. 00:27:24.730 --> 00:27:27.990 No. What's going on? We all stop playing that 00:27:27.990 --> 00:27:30.009 for a few minutes because like, what the fuck 00:27:30.009 --> 00:27:37.910 is that? I won't name. I won't name what outlet 00:27:37.910 --> 00:27:43.480 said it, but it was very kind. When that came 00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.460 out when the reviews came out and they were like 00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:49.119 I said by and large you were positive And they 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.140 said that see see I'm trying to be humble without 00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:58.880 being humble so So no this this very large large 00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.940 like might even be the largest outlet said that 00:28:01.940 --> 00:28:05.359 the Maria scene Carlos Ferro changed video game 00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:10.130 voice acting forever And I appreciate that. And 00:28:10.130 --> 00:28:13.650 it's really funny, because if you are a gamer, 00:28:13.869 --> 00:28:14.910 it doesn't have to be a hardcore gamer, just 00:28:14.910 --> 00:28:18.130 a gamer that's been playing forever and ever 00:28:18.130 --> 00:28:20.009 and ever, always has a console in the house, 00:28:20.650 --> 00:28:23.190 knows all their games, and then is a shooter's 00:28:23.190 --> 00:28:25.670 guy first or third, doesn't matter. If you have 00:28:25.670 --> 00:28:28.529 followed gaming, you'll notice that the second 00:28:28.529 --> 00:28:31.150 that that Maria scene happened and then the Gears 00:28:31.150 --> 00:28:33.809 3 scene happened, all of a sudden, all these 00:28:33.809 --> 00:28:36.150 franchises were like, the horse going to fucking 00:28:36.150 --> 00:28:44.970 die. Thank you. And I didn't say there was that 00:28:44.970 --> 00:28:47.809 game. I didn't say that. I just picked a horse. 00:28:48.109 --> 00:28:52.289 I picked an animal out of clear blue sky. Let's 00:28:52.289 --> 00:28:54.089 kill the horse. Let's just kill the horse. I 00:28:54.089 --> 00:28:55.950 always kill the horse. You know what's funny? 00:28:56.109 --> 00:28:57.869 Guys, you guys are making, you know that that 00:28:57.869 --> 00:28:59.950 conversation happened. You know that conversation. 00:29:00.170 --> 00:29:02.730 I believe it. And you know it went exactly like 00:29:02.730 --> 00:29:03.990 that. They were like, can we kill the horse? 00:29:04.250 --> 00:29:07.130 No, let's kill one of the guys. Nah, that's going 00:29:07.130 --> 00:29:08.970 to be too obvious. No, do we have a horse called 00:29:08.970 --> 00:29:13.940 Dom? No. No, because it's gonna hurt more to 00:29:13.940 --> 00:29:19.180 kill the horse. And I'll be honest, when part 00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:23.400 three came out and at the point where Dom becomes 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:25.799 the hero and takes one for the team and bites 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.339 it. But I put my control down and I walked out. 00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:32.519 What's the point of playing this game anymore? 00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:39.799 You're in big company, dude. There is a I think 00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.599 you can join YouTube. What's it YouTube? Yeah, 00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:44.240 it's YouTube not twitch. It was on YouTube. There 00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:48.940 were all these videos Dom dies rage quit and 00:29:48.940 --> 00:29:52.420 and it was it was people crying It was people 00:29:52.420 --> 00:29:55.480 just just streaming man, and yeah, they they 00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:57.519 threw the fucking controllers. They broke their 00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:02.400 own yes yes because you know immediately uh my 00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:04.980 only beef if it is it's not a beef really my 00:30:04.980 --> 00:30:06.920 only concern was that it happened too early in 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:08.960 the game like i don't think we're even the third 00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:12.920 act yet and it happened and so um i think everyone 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.980 having to play as jace or anya i mean if you've 00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:18.960 played as dom always like i've never played a 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.369 gears of war game four and five included unless 00:30:21.369 --> 00:30:24.029 I can play as Dom. And I know that it's not just 00:30:24.029 --> 00:30:26.690 because it's my character. A lot of people say 00:30:26.690 --> 00:30:30.329 that when I was hosting esports in Vegas and 00:30:30.329 --> 00:30:34.069 in Mexico, there were these four on four fucking 00:30:34.069 --> 00:30:36.970 battles that were four Doms against four Doms. 00:30:37.210 --> 00:30:40.230 There you go. Dom is a very beloved character. 00:30:40.730 --> 00:30:42.569 Yes, yes. When people wanted to get different 00:30:42.569 --> 00:30:46.029 Lancers and skins, it wasn't like I want one 00:30:46.029 --> 00:30:48.109 that's shiny or I want a gold one with stripes. 00:30:48.430 --> 00:30:50.579 It was like I want a Nasher, and I want it to 00:30:50.579 --> 00:30:53.799 have Maria on it. I want the Dom one. I want 00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:56.339 the one that has, you know, that one's kind of 00:30:56.339 --> 00:30:58.599 fruity. It's pink and blue. I want it. It's the 00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:00.359 Maria Dom one, you know what I mean? Right, right, 00:31:00.460 --> 00:31:05.079 yeah. And I really appreciate that because it 00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:07.920 means that all this thought that we put into 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.039 it, that I put into it, that the writers put 00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:13.380 into it, that we were onto something and that 00:31:13.380 --> 00:31:16.180 it had that effect on games. and more importantly 00:31:16.180 --> 00:31:19.059 than anything. And it's like gamers, man. Yeah. 00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.960 And I think a lot of gamers. And to tell you 00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:24.200 the truth, I stopped playing Gears for a while, 00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:25.900 man, because, I mean, don't get me wrong, I got 00:31:25.900 --> 00:31:28.119 the Dom Zombie. I got that one I had to get. 00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.440 I had to get that one. The Dom Zombie. Oh, man, 00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:32.940 you should have heard people. People were sending 00:31:32.940 --> 00:31:34.859 me pictures of Zombie Dom and I already knew 00:31:34.859 --> 00:31:38.000 about it. They were sending it to me and they 00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.279 were acting like, are you guys, I don't know 00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:44.019 if there's any Latinos in the room. there's a 00:31:44.019 --> 00:31:46.480 couple okay well you know what i'm saying is 00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:51.259 that um they got very much like you know what 00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:54.400 i mean like they were like you know what i mean 00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:58.359 they were like did you just did you just call 00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:02.880 dominic santiago did you just from cera no i'm 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.859 kidding they're like did you just make him a 00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:09.680 zombie when we just got dealt with him dying 00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:13.099 like that is so disrespectful that's so disrespectful 00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:19.700 ain't it and then well like i said i when that's 00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:22.460 the next the next thing i want to step into um 00:32:22.460 --> 00:32:27.160 when they debuted the trailer for uh gears uh 00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.289 gears of war e -day I jumped back on I jumped 00:32:30.289 --> 00:32:33.369 back on Gears 5 and I found the collectors Dom 00:32:33.369 --> 00:32:36.470 available and I bought that sucker man ASAP I 00:32:36.470 --> 00:32:40.450 go here's five Gears five like people come at 00:32:40.450 --> 00:32:42.910 me with criticisms about form five because it's 00:32:42.910 --> 00:32:46.069 not the first story the original trilogy, but 00:32:46.069 --> 00:32:50.490 here's the thing is In and I'll do it in tears 00:32:50.490 --> 00:32:54.730 number one Four's opening is the prequel scene 00:32:54.730 --> 00:32:58.220 at asphalt fields with Dom and Hoffman And we 00:32:58.220 --> 00:33:00.519 worked, excuse me, we worked like a couple of 00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.799 years to try to figure out how to incorporate 00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:09.539 Dom into four, how to kind of have some fun with 00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:12.240 the universe without being dismissive of the 00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:16.559 original trilogy or being too like... you know, 00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:18.180 not to be shitty with anybody. So you say, how 00:33:18.180 --> 00:33:20.660 do we do this? What's the mix of continuing the 00:33:20.660 --> 00:33:23.319 story of the locust and the swarm without being 00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:26.160 kind of like shitty to the story that was already 00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:28.960 beginning, middle, and ended, you know? And so 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:32.940 I dug, I really dug the opening scene from Four. 00:33:33.220 --> 00:33:34.819 And like I said, we worked really hard on it. 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.119 I was very proud of it. I didn't, I understand. 00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:41.180 I still am very proud of what we did with Four. 00:33:42.339 --> 00:33:46.099 I've never, every time I work on something, of 00:33:46.099 --> 00:33:49.180 the five games, we record all new audio. So all 00:33:49.180 --> 00:33:53.380 of that, I'll take that and anything, take cover. 00:33:53.779 --> 00:33:56.319 It's every time it's different in every game. 00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.339 We recorded original except for the Gears of 00:33:59.339 --> 00:34:02.279 War Ultimate Edition, which is arguably my favorite 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.039 thing of the games, my favorite game. And it's 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:08.780 because they... It wasn't a remaster, that's 00:34:08.780 --> 00:34:12.320 a real wrong term. It rebuilt Gears 1 from the 00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:14.519 ground up, and the only thing that survived was 00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:18.340 the audio. And I thought it was really smart, 00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:21.320 it fixed a lot of, not glitches, but certainly 00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:24.639 things that could be improved upon, story -wise 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:27.559 and mechanics -wise. So you get to play Gears 00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:33.360 1 in the universe of Xbox One. So I dug what 00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:37.119 we did there. You mentioned five about the Collectors 00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:39.460 Dom. There's this badass picture of Farmer Dom. 00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:43.300 I don't know if you see that. Yes, but yeah, 00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:47.239 it's it's it's it's heaters on Chippendale's 00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:54.059 territory. You know, like I've wanted I may even 00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:55.960 do it now because of this podcast. You just gave 00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:57.980 me the idea. I've wanted to put that picture 00:34:57.980 --> 00:34:59.940 up and like play like some house music in the 00:34:59.940 --> 00:35:01.679 background, you know, because it will make the 00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:10.760 picture look very different. But but here's five 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:14.639 I think has the most beautiful of all the Multiplayers 00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.300 and yeah, and and that and I'm someone who grinded 00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:21.400 out every night Hours and hours in gears to horde 00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.199 mode and in gears three horde mode, but I will 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:27.760 tell you I sucked around those laser encampments 00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:31.039 Like if you if you if you had a homie that would 00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:33.920 be like you guys are at level 32 and you're like 00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:36.460 Man, is tonight going to be the night? Are we 00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:38.639 going to finally hit 50 together? And you just 00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:42.960 have seen. That's like last week. Well, I was 00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:46.179 the guy. I was the guy. I was the guy with the 00:35:46.179 --> 00:35:48.519 lasers that people would be like, what are you 00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:51.400 doing? Because you would just see, I'd be like, 00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:56.460 in it, and then just poof. I hated that shit. 00:35:57.739 --> 00:36:00.340 But five, five, I dig the multiplayer. And I'm 00:36:00.340 --> 00:36:02.219 very proud of everything we've done with the 00:36:02.219 --> 00:36:06.340 franchise. That's awesome. Now the question per 00:36:06.340 --> 00:36:08.900 se is right now is that everybody wants to know, 00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:16.760 will you be in Gears of War E -Day? It is way, 00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:20.780 way too early for me or anybody else to answer 00:36:20.780 --> 00:36:24.420 that question. It's the development stage of 00:36:24.420 --> 00:36:31.000 the game. I'm in a real tricky position because 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:34.389 I can't, if I say I am, it's the biggest news 00:36:34.389 --> 00:36:37.690 in video games. If I say I'm not, it's the biggest 00:36:37.690 --> 00:36:44.449 news in video games. But I think that it's always 00:36:44.449 --> 00:36:47.110 been, things like that, things like that are 00:36:47.110 --> 00:36:50.070 always, there's very few places, guys, and I 00:36:50.070 --> 00:36:52.309 mean this from my heart, from the heart, okay, 00:36:52.590 --> 00:36:55.170 there's very few places in your life where you 00:36:55.170 --> 00:36:57.260 truly have power. You know what I mean? Like 00:36:57.260 --> 00:36:59.039 you start figuring out that you don't have as 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:01.500 much power in your house as you thought. You 00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:03.199 know what I mean? You start figuring out that 00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.880 at work, you can be the supervisor, you can be 00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:08.159 the owner, and you still don't have the power 00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:09.820 you think you did over the landlord. You know 00:37:09.820 --> 00:37:13.320 what I mean? And over all kinds of things that 00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:16.960 play into it. Everybody, I'm not a parent. but 00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:19.639 I've helped raise kids and you know, you think 00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:22.480 that you're the, you know, metal metal, you know, 00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:26.099 and you find out very quickly that that's not 00:37:26.099 --> 00:37:28.599 the case. Right. You got to kind of deal with 00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:32.539 what you can. Well, in the case of video game 00:37:32.539 --> 00:37:35.059 and specifically the video game industry and 00:37:35.059 --> 00:37:39.239 really all geeky stuff like cartoons and animated 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:43.460 shows, this is when the public actually has power, 00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:45.260 guys. You remember what happened to Sonic the 00:37:45.260 --> 00:37:49.760 Hedgehog? Yes, yes everybody thinks I mean, I 00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:52.980 mean we all have our own version of a conspiracy 00:37:52.980 --> 00:37:55.599 freak because It's healthy to be a little bit 00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:57.519 paranoid and stuff So you kind of think oh man, 00:37:57.539 --> 00:37:59.159 they pulled the wool over my eyes You think that 00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:01.559 just to protect yourself? But the reality there 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:03.900 is when they showed us a trailer when they put 00:38:03.900 --> 00:38:06.019 all that time energy and money into a trailer 00:38:06.019 --> 00:38:09.300 for a skinny Sonic with weird teeth You know 00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:12.739 what I mean? That's not on purpose. Yeah, I got 00:38:12.739 --> 00:38:15.179 you. I got you. I got you. You don't represent, 00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:18.780 you don't represent your team, hundreds of people 00:38:18.780 --> 00:38:21.480 in man hours. You don't do it and go, ta -da, 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:24.099 just fucking with you. That's the same. Right, 00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:27.940 right, right. So when the public were like, how 00:38:27.940 --> 00:38:30.119 fucking hard can it be? And someone went into 00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:32.920 Photoshop and just made a photorealistic sonic, 00:38:33.179 --> 00:38:35.059 which by the way, all of us that have been on 00:38:35.059 --> 00:38:39.239 the internet since 96 or whatever, we'd all seen 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:42.119 photorealistic Homer Simpson, Jessica Rabb is 00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:46.619 a good one, photorealistic cartoon, I know, let's 00:38:46.619 --> 00:38:52.260 take a moment. But cartoon characters, photorealistic, 00:38:52.380 --> 00:38:55.659 you know? So the Sonic thing, we were right. 00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:59.119 And we had the power and we had a voice to say, 00:38:59.460 --> 00:39:02.099 you're taking not just something beloved, like 00:39:02.099 --> 00:39:05.380 I've always loved Superman, it's this is something 00:39:05.380 --> 00:39:08.039 very specific to like two or three generations 00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:13.260 of kids and adults that's that's sonic and mario 00:39:13.260 --> 00:39:16.760 and all of these these guys the specific gaming 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:20.500 uh area we all have our heart is connected to 00:39:20.500 --> 00:39:23.460 it and people you know they made their voice 00:39:23.460 --> 00:39:26.900 known that's why they fixed it and i i think 00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:31.139 that um i don't i think it's uh It's interesting 00:39:31.139 --> 00:39:33.380 that they're not being an official announcement 00:39:33.380 --> 00:39:35.059 and this is the most by the way guys you guys 00:39:35.059 --> 00:39:38.420 This is the most I've ever talked about the Xbox 00:39:38.420 --> 00:39:41.679 showcase. I'm not talking about much But again, 00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:44.179 if I say if I say that, you know, I'm under non 00:39:44.179 --> 00:39:46.480 -disclosure agreement I'm contractually I can't 00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:50.440 say anything that dude that duh, right? Something 00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:55.199 without saying what I say if I say I know from 00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:59.619 the last 25 years plus years in show business, 00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:02.659 I know what it is to be cagey on purpose and 00:40:02.659 --> 00:40:04.900 to try to get attention. I'm certainly not doing 00:40:04.900 --> 00:40:06.480 that, especially not to you guys. The reason 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:08.960 I want to do this podcast is because I have a 00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:13.679 real connection to the RGV. My peoples have been 00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:17.000 very good to me there every time I visited. And 00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:20.059 I try, I try desperately to give back and to 00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:23.780 be supportive of artists locally. And so I wanted 00:40:23.780 --> 00:40:27.000 to be really straight with you guys is that I 00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:31.900 think if it weren't the case, I think that that 00:40:31.900 --> 00:40:36.659 would be crazy. and i think that uh i think that 00:40:36.659 --> 00:40:39.320 i think el público would make it known that it's 00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:42.300 crazy oh yeah you know what i mean real quick 00:40:42.300 --> 00:40:46.940 and and if it is the case then we all got something 00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:49.880 to look forward to and celebrate so it's kind 00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:51.900 of sorted no matter what you know what i mean 00:40:51.900 --> 00:40:56.090 i i And that, like I said, this is me not being 00:40:56.090 --> 00:40:57.769 cagey. This is me just being like, hey, man, 00:40:57.969 --> 00:40:59.929 they don't make announcements like that at this 00:40:59.929 --> 00:41:02.110 stage of the game. They just wanted people to 00:41:02.110 --> 00:41:06.769 know that it's happening. And people have been 00:41:06.769 --> 00:41:09.050 coming at me all over the internet, and John 00:41:09.050 --> 00:41:11.730 as well, being like, what's this mean? What's 00:41:11.730 --> 00:41:17.829 the deal? And I saw an article that I think one 00:41:17.829 --> 00:41:20.889 of the people, one of the big bosses, I won't 00:41:20.889 --> 00:41:23.070 name names, but just that the same thing I'm 00:41:23.070 --> 00:41:27.429 saying is, whether it is or isn't, we don't make 00:41:27.429 --> 00:41:30.889 announcements in the video game industry. We 00:41:30.889 --> 00:41:32.969 don't make these kinds of announcements. It's 00:41:32.969 --> 00:41:34.949 premature to make these announcements. It's only 00:41:34.949 --> 00:41:38.949 because, again, this is me just for example, 00:41:39.429 --> 00:41:42.510 what if the game's delayed? You know what I mean? 00:41:43.010 --> 00:41:47.610 What if, God forbid, something happens to me 00:41:47.610 --> 00:41:50.269 or John, and we're in the hospital, and it pushes? 00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:56.960 Or somebody has a different creative take. I 00:41:56.960 --> 00:42:00.719 just think that it would be fucking crazy. You 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:04.659 know what I mean? I think we've been in this 00:42:04.659 --> 00:42:07.619 so long with that Brothers to the End thing in 00:42:07.619 --> 00:42:12.679 Gears Inc. We've leaned into that as artists 00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:15.440 and as creative people. We've leaned into the 00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:18.780 community of Gears of War. I mean, Mexico might 00:42:18.780 --> 00:42:21.849 as well be called Mexico City Gears of War, you 00:42:21.849 --> 00:42:24.769 know what I mean? It is so special in Mexico 00:42:24.769 --> 00:42:27.590 City. It's the home, really, of Gears of War. 00:42:28.809 --> 00:42:31.869 And, you know, it's not a secret that maybe my 00:42:31.869 --> 00:42:34.210 Dominic Santiago might have something to do with 00:42:34.210 --> 00:42:40.070 it, you know? And in this country, and also in 00:42:40.070 --> 00:42:42.809 Europe, man, when I'm in the UK, for example, 00:42:43.269 --> 00:42:48.530 I mean, Scotland, Liverpool, London, Wales. Everybody 00:42:48.530 --> 00:42:51.210 knows my character the way they know my character 00:42:51.210 --> 00:42:53.690 and I don't think that anybody would respond 00:42:53.690 --> 00:42:59.090 well to to such a Change, you know, that's that 00:42:59.090 --> 00:43:00.809 and there's no reason for it. I might add as 00:43:00.809 --> 00:43:02.769 well, you know, right, right There's there's 00:43:02.769 --> 00:43:05.849 plenty of time and energy and money to go around, 00:43:05.849 --> 00:43:08.670 you know, gotcha. I hear you man It's it's just 00:43:08.670 --> 00:43:13.369 that if you're gonna announce a prequel You know 00:43:13.369 --> 00:43:16.050 with our favorite characters our beloved characters 00:43:17.389 --> 00:43:20.590 There's an expectation there, I'm sorry. There's 00:43:20.590 --> 00:43:23.190 an expectation there. So like I was saying to 00:43:23.190 --> 00:43:26.329 you, they'd be crazy, right? They'd be crazy, 00:43:26.329 --> 00:43:34.090 right? You know what I'm saying? So that's the 00:43:34.090 --> 00:43:36.590 most I can say, guys, and that's a lot. That's 00:43:36.590 --> 00:43:38.829 a lot. Thank you so much. That's fine. That's 00:43:38.829 --> 00:43:39.710 fine. We understand where you're coming from. 00:43:39.710 --> 00:43:41.630 All I know is when I saw the trailer, my nephew 00:43:41.630 --> 00:43:44.010 sent me the trailer, and he goes, dude, did you 00:43:44.010 --> 00:43:45.449 see this? I go, no, what is it? He goes, check 00:43:45.449 --> 00:43:48.739 out the trailer. I checked it out, and it shows 00:43:48.739 --> 00:43:51.039 where Marcus is falling through one of the holes, 00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:53.179 and he's about to slip off the pipe, and I see 00:43:53.179 --> 00:43:54.860 that arm come down, and as soon as I saw the 00:43:54.860 --> 00:43:57.639 arm come out, I recognized the get -up. Like, 00:43:58.300 --> 00:44:02.539 are you fucking kidding me? I got up, ran around 00:44:02.539 --> 00:44:04.400 the house like a little girl, and my wife goes, 00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:08.500 you are fucking nuts. I go, oh my God, it's Tommy's 00:44:08.500 --> 00:44:16.579 back, he's back. I watched it live. I had the 00:44:16.579 --> 00:44:19.420 same the same kind of feeling in that I liked 00:44:19.420 --> 00:44:22.900 how that was put together and But but I but I 00:44:22.900 --> 00:44:25.980 will tell you this the second that I saw that 00:44:25.980 --> 00:44:28.280 I was like, okay Well, here we go because me 00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:30.300 and John are all we're gonna be is asked, you 00:44:30.300 --> 00:44:33.139 know And and it's a bummer because you know as 00:44:33.139 --> 00:44:36.059 you can imagine either way we'd want to say you 00:44:36.059 --> 00:44:38.880 know what I mean, but it's just part of our business 00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:42.139 that and then there's there's a laundry list 00:44:42.139 --> 00:44:47.119 of good reasons of Why not to go official?

Are we gonna go over this thing? 00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:43.119 I don't know how we're gonna go over this. That 00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:54.090 was fantastic. All the success that you've had 00:47:54.090 --> 00:47:59.510 with Dom with Gears 1, 2, and 3, the fans, well, 00:47:59.510 --> 00:48:01.130 I'm pretty sure you go quite a few Comic -Cons 00:48:01.130 --> 00:48:04.570 or signings and everything. What's the reaction 00:48:04.570 --> 00:48:07.590 when they come and see you to get the autograph? 00:48:07.929 --> 00:48:13.289 What are the requests? So because we're running 00:48:13.289 --> 00:48:16.650 out of time? Yes. Am I am gonna tell you actually 00:48:16.650 --> 00:48:19.309 I've got I've got like another good 15 minutes 00:48:19.309 --> 00:48:24.849 in me, okay, okay, so so this is It's all good 00:48:24.849 --> 00:48:26.309 guys. First of all, that's all I'll give you 00:48:26.309 --> 00:48:29.949 the serious answer first and that is is I I have 00:48:29.949 --> 00:48:34.489 so many wonderful experiences There there is 00:48:34.489 --> 00:48:37.789 there was a guy I believe it was in Albuquerque, 00:48:37.829 --> 00:48:41.150 New Mexico Shout out to Gears Inc and all the 00:48:41.150 --> 00:48:44.530 people that have Gears Inc here. He had saved 00:48:44.730 --> 00:48:49.670 he'd saved a space on his arm. It was just like 00:48:49.670 --> 00:48:56.349 a banner, you know? And it was reserved for my 00:48:56.349 --> 00:49:02.070 autograph. And that is like, OK, that's not that 00:49:02.070 --> 00:49:04.969 unusual in that I was going to be signing Carlos 00:49:04.969 --> 00:49:07.349 Ferro Dom, which is what I signed on the Gears 00:49:07.349 --> 00:49:10.730 of War stuff. And I was like, OK, more power 00:49:10.730 --> 00:49:12.769 to you. You're going to have that on your arm 00:49:12.769 --> 00:49:15.760 for a while? Knock yourself out. but the thing 00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:18.460 was is what was around that banner, around this 00:49:18.460 --> 00:49:22.980 very small banner, this little space, it was 00:49:22.980 --> 00:49:28.820 a variation on the Maria tattoo. And the Maria 00:49:28.820 --> 00:49:31.280 tattoo, but it was a variation, it wasn't Maria, 00:49:31.820 --> 00:49:38.000 it was more Gears of War lore and the look of 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:40.469 not... just maria but the maria and remembrance 00:49:40.469 --> 00:49:42.510 that you you know like the uh... the statue in 00:49:42.510 --> 00:49:45.909 mercy the right right it like a tombstone guys 00:49:45.909 --> 00:49:49.349 you know i mean and uh... and uh... he had played 00:49:49.349 --> 00:49:53.469 years of war every years of war collected all 00:49:53.469 --> 00:49:55.750 the comics and everything with his little brother 00:49:55.750 --> 00:50:00.250 and his little brother died and he was he has 00:50:00.250 --> 00:50:03.960 played two anymore and so he channeled all of 00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:07.019 this grief into this ink. And for those of you 00:50:07.019 --> 00:50:09.000 that have tattoos like I do, and I have a pretty 00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:13.739 big one on my right arm, that's also about processing 00:50:13.739 --> 00:50:20.079 grief. It was a lot for me, but it wasn't like, 00:50:20.099 --> 00:50:21.760 oh, you weirdo, I'm giving you my autograph on 00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:26.139 your arm. It came again like, wow, I'm helping 00:50:26.139 --> 00:50:29.000 you finish the journey of the tattoo. Does that 00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:30.500 make sense? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. 00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:34.239 I'm being a part of something bigger than what 00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:36.320 a cool character I play in this cool video game 00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:41.179 series. And that changes you, man. That makes 00:50:41.179 --> 00:50:43.639 you, as an artist, yeah, man, it's cool to be 00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:47.639 well -paid or well -known, but those of us like 00:50:47.639 --> 00:50:51.280 me, one more time, that bitch, I got into this 00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:54.719 to be, and I tell students this, I tell my students 00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:57.300 this, unless you're getting into this to be the 00:50:57.300 --> 00:51:00.000 greatest of your generation, like to be the best 00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:03.489 there ever was, it probably isn't for you. because 00:51:03.489 --> 00:51:06.849 that's what you want. So that's for you. That's 00:51:06.849 --> 00:51:09.190 internal. But if external things happen like 00:51:09.190 --> 00:51:13.329 that, there's nothing better, man. It changes 00:51:13.329 --> 00:51:16.070 you. It lifts you, the other person. It makes 00:51:16.070 --> 00:51:20.250 art, art. It's not just video games. It's not 00:51:20.250 --> 00:51:24.530 comic books. These things have profound impact. 00:51:24.769 --> 00:51:26.989 The X -Men got me through stuff when I was a 00:51:26.989 --> 00:51:30.599 kid. Spider -Man, I was Peter Parker. And I know 00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:33.219 the people that relate to Dominic Santiago. I 00:51:33.219 --> 00:51:36.320 know the people that hear my voice when I go, 00:51:36.539 --> 00:51:39.059 Marcus! And they're like, fuck, I'm there. I'm 00:51:39.059 --> 00:51:41.780 right there again. Right. You know what I mean? 00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:45.340 Me just doing the revive me, revive me. And you 00:51:45.340 --> 00:51:48.820 can't put a price on that. You can't be rewarded 00:51:48.820 --> 00:51:51.280 with just being famous or whatever, or how many 00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:54.760 followers you've got. For me, that's like one 00:51:54.760 --> 00:51:57.019 of the, if not the most memorable, that's one 00:51:57.019 --> 00:51:59.260 of my most memorable But I'm not going to make 00:51:59.260 --> 00:52:01.800 that be the last story. I'm going to tell you 00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:04.760 the one that I think is the funniest. OK? All 00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:09.420 right. And I've probably only told this once 00:52:09.420 --> 00:52:11.880 at a con, like I was doing a panel about what 00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:16.659 a big shot I am. OK? You are big. The panel was 00:52:16.659 --> 00:52:21.139 like a Q &A with Carlos Faro and asked me anything. 00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:24.059 And it was funny because. I mean, for an actor, 00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:25.820 I'm gonna talk about how beautiful art is and 00:52:25.820 --> 00:52:28.280 all, but for an actor to have a room of 200 people, 00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:30.760 just wanna know everything about you. Right. 00:52:31.699 --> 00:52:33.360 It's really cool, you know what I mean? It's 00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:37.550 really cool. I betcha. So, I... So I told the 00:52:37.550 --> 00:52:39.949 story at the panel because it happened at a con 00:52:39.949 --> 00:52:41.989 this this this interaction that I'm gonna tell 00:52:41.989 --> 00:52:45.929 you about is that I finished a finished I finished 00:52:45.929 --> 00:52:49.150 a Panel, but I wasn't at my table is the point 00:52:49.150 --> 00:52:52.010 I was I was walking around with security and 00:52:52.010 --> 00:52:54.170 I told security just you know, we're good man. 00:52:54.230 --> 00:52:56.329 I'll meet you at my table I'm gonna go in the 00:52:56.329 --> 00:52:59.030 bathroom and then take a leak. So I go to the 00:52:59.030 --> 00:53:05.739 urinal now We have we Guess at cons. They don't 00:53:05.739 --> 00:53:08.539 have to use the public Toilets and shit because 00:53:08.539 --> 00:53:10.559 there is one by the green room or behind a curtain 00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:12.260 There's one that you can go and not get fucked 00:53:12.260 --> 00:53:15.019 with right, right? So that you're not you know, 00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:17.300 so dr. Who can take a piss, you know, I mean 00:53:17.300 --> 00:53:23.000 So I was like I'm gonna use I'm to do that.

This is the 00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:31.449 private bathroom. So the bathroom is completely 00:53:31.449 --> 00:53:33.650 empty. There's not a soul, no other guests were 00:53:33.650 --> 00:53:35.409 in there using it when I went in there. Right. 00:53:35.409 --> 00:53:38.190 So there's like probably 12 urinals, like a big 00:53:38.190 --> 00:53:40.989 lineup of urinals. So I go and I stand in the 00:53:40.989 --> 00:53:43.710 middle, like middle more or less urinal, so I 00:53:43.710 --> 00:53:48.449 don't feel lonely. And so I'm standing there 00:53:48.449 --> 00:53:52.869 doing my business and a guy comes in and it is 00:53:52.869 --> 00:53:57.820 crystal clear that this kid is not a guest. And 00:53:57.820 --> 00:54:01.519 that he doesn't work for the convention And that 00:54:01.519 --> 00:54:05.699 he's just an attendee that followed me And he 00:54:05.699 --> 00:54:08.500 walked and I was like, I mean we've all been 00:54:08.500 --> 00:54:10.059 there I mean shit We probably were there like 00:54:10.059 --> 00:54:12.059 yesterday where you're in a public urinal and 00:54:12.059 --> 00:54:13.940 you kind of you don't really talk to another 00:54:13.940 --> 00:54:16.500 person But you kind of acknowledge their existence 00:54:16.500 --> 00:54:19.739 right or you don't one or the other you don't 00:54:19.739 --> 00:54:24.780 exist or you go But that's, at best, that's the 00:54:24.780 --> 00:54:27.179 max, right? Yeah, exactly. I'm really setting 00:54:27.179 --> 00:54:30.800 you guys up because I think it's funny. I'm sitting 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:33.900 there, I'm standing there, better said, I'm standing 00:54:33.900 --> 00:54:37.460 there doing my business. And the guy of all the 00:54:37.460 --> 00:54:39.820 urinals, he stands in the one right next to me. 00:54:40.099 --> 00:54:47.980 Oh my gosh. Oh, come on, man. And now, I'm just, 00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:50.199 I'm showing you guys, I was like this, like. 00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:56.460 Like, what do you do, right?

And 00:55:11.619 --> 00:55:15.300 so I look over at the guy, and he looks at me 00:55:15.300 --> 00:55:17.440 square in the eye, which is not more than seven 00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:19.260 or eight inches. He's right next to me, guys. 00:55:19.380 --> 00:55:23.889 He is right next to me. And he goes, say sup, 00:55:24.050 --> 00:55:34.510 bitches. What? Are you serious? What?

He looked me in the eye 00:55:42.110 --> 00:55:44.530 and said, with a kind of a half smile, like, 00:55:44.710 --> 00:55:46.389 like, like, like, this is it worked. This is 00:55:46.389 --> 00:55:50.940 a great fucking idea. And he goes. Say so bitches 00:55:50.940 --> 00:55:54.179 and I looked him right in the eye and now I'm 00:55:54.179 --> 00:55:57.559 like this like like what the fuck and I go Can 00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:07.719 I wash my hands first?

I just zipped over, washed 00:56:28.219 --> 00:56:31.820 my hands, and he fucking practically ran next 00:56:31.820 --> 00:56:34.239 to me to wash his hands. And by the way, that 00:56:34.239 --> 00:56:36.000 I thought was funny. I think he washed his hands 00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:38.380 and he never peed. He never opened his pants. 00:56:40.110 --> 00:56:41.650 You know what I mean? Like, it was all bullshit. 00:56:42.349 --> 00:56:45.670 So he washes his hands, and I go, and I go, so 00:56:45.670 --> 00:56:47.349 you're a fan, right? And he goes, yeah. And I 00:56:47.349 --> 00:56:49.809 go, I said, OK. I said, well, I got to get back 00:56:49.809 --> 00:56:51.590 to signing.

Like, I had to 00:57:07.710 --> 00:57:11.579 say it, you know? Like, if this is your thing, 00:57:11.659 --> 00:57:13.440 you know, you might go to jail. It might have 00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:15.239 been a ritual for him to go to the restroom, 00:57:15.300 --> 00:57:19.039 bro. You know what? He picked his moment. It 00:57:19.039 --> 00:57:22.190 wasn't great. It wasn't a great shot, man. He 00:57:22.190 --> 00:57:24.349 didn't get tased. I mean, it was a good day. 00:57:24.409 --> 00:57:26.510 It was a good day. It was a good day for him. 00:57:26.949 --> 00:57:29.550 Yeah. I mean, I'd like to hear that dude tell 00:57:29.550 --> 00:57:32.690 that story from his perspective. He's alone in 00:57:32.690 --> 00:57:36.250 the bathroom.

But, you know, everybody's, 00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:32.579 I mean, justifiably so, everybody's kind of abandoning 00:58:32.579 --> 00:58:35.380 social media, you know, to like do shit. But 00:58:35.380 --> 00:58:37.820 but um, which I think is healthy man, you know 00:58:37.820 --> 00:58:40.420 what I mean? Like like, yeah, yeah, there's I 00:58:40.420 --> 00:58:43.460 think this is nice to have a split of real life 00:58:43.460 --> 00:58:47.280 versus online Excuse me not to old fog yet, but 00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:49.960 it's just that these days It's getting harder 00:58:49.960 --> 00:58:53.440 to be you know online, you know, and and everybody's 00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:55.599 got their their gloves on man fisty It's very 00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:57.940 that was why I make those jokes. It's like, you 00:58:57.940 --> 00:59:00.480 know, you you go on somewhere to be like, you 00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:03.869 know Check this out and anything. I mean, seeing 00:59:03.869 --> 00:59:06.030 what you guys are into. If you say, oh, yeah, 00:59:06.030 --> 00:59:07.710 we got this picture of, you know, Charlie Brown, 00:59:07.769 --> 00:59:09.550 but it's not Charlie Brown. He's got like this 00:59:09.550 --> 00:59:12.110 beard. And then they're like, they'll immediately 00:59:12.110 --> 00:59:18.909 be like, pussy. And you're like, how do you make 00:59:18.909 --> 00:59:23.170 that jump, right? He goes, that's me! Believe 00:59:23.170 --> 00:59:25.389 me! I said, how do you make that jump, you know 00:59:25.389 --> 00:59:27.030 what I mean, when someone insults you? When you 00:59:27.030 --> 00:59:29.269 were just going like, man, you know, I think 00:59:29.269 --> 00:59:32.949 Spider -Man into the whatever, Spider -Verse 00:59:32.949 --> 00:59:35.469 was fucking awesome. And everybody's like, you 00:59:35.469 --> 00:59:38.309 know, yeah, where are your panties? And you're 00:59:38.309 --> 00:59:45.090 like, what the what? I mean, by the way, these 00:59:45.090 --> 00:59:48.170 examples I'm giving, I've seen, man. I've seen 00:59:48.170 --> 00:59:51.389 people that say that, I mean, I'm thinking, no 00:59:51.389 --> 00:59:55.230 one, no one could talk shit about, I'll pick 00:59:55.230 --> 00:59:57.329 something, you know, Star Wars or Star Trek, 00:59:57.590 --> 01:00:00.050 that it's just like, it was cool, something cool 01:00:00.050 --> 01:00:04.409 from sci -fi. And somebody will like, you can 01:00:04.409 --> 01:00:07.050 see that they must spend most of their day just 01:00:07.050 --> 01:00:09.199 waiting to fuck with people. You know what I 01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:13.579 mean? And not for nothing, it was, I swear, man, 01:00:13.940 --> 01:00:15.420 it wasn't always like that. And I think you guys 01:00:15.420 --> 01:00:16.920 are old enough to remember, it wasn't always 01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:20.760 like that. The internet was, I mean, this is 01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:24.320 definitely me on a soapbox as an old man. The 01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:28.059 internet was actually, at one time, the opposite. 01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:33.449 It wasn't about... a stage to fight on, which 01:00:33.449 --> 01:00:37.050 is what it is now. Everything is a debate and 01:00:37.050 --> 01:00:39.510 an argument, right? Everything, whether you win 01:00:39.510 --> 01:00:42.670 or lose or come out kind of not as beat up and 01:00:42.670 --> 01:00:46.010 all that. It used to be about finding your people. 01:00:46.329 --> 01:00:48.869 The internet was always about finding community 01:00:48.869 --> 01:00:52.530 from those fucked up angel fire websites to AOL 01:00:52.530 --> 01:00:55.969 to news groups. The reason everybody was congregating 01:00:55.969 --> 01:00:58.329 is that you were not the only motherfucker that 01:00:58.329 --> 01:01:00.090 wanted to plan the Apes action figure from the 01:01:00.090 --> 01:01:02.889 70s. Somebody in Florida had one, and they'd 01:01:02.889 --> 01:01:05.530 sell it to you if you give him his Superman action 01:01:05.530 --> 01:01:09.230 figure, you know what I mean? And if you're into 01:01:09.230 --> 01:01:12.170 sketchy, weird shit, you'd find those people, 01:01:12.269 --> 01:01:14.250 you know what I mean? And you guys could have 01:01:14.250 --> 01:01:18.010 a group called sketchy, weird -ass people. And 01:01:18.010 --> 01:01:20.190 by the way, nobody would fuck with them, you 01:01:20.190 --> 01:01:21.409 know what I mean? And nobody would fuck with 01:01:21.409 --> 01:01:25.130 anybody. It was cool. It was cool. And so it's 01:01:25.130 --> 01:01:28.150 like, oh, I say this about cons, actually. It's 01:01:28.150 --> 01:01:31.309 being a victim of your own success is that it 01:01:31.309 --> 01:01:35.409 gets so commonplace and so great so quickly that 01:01:35.409 --> 01:01:37.849 it's bound to get torn down and fucked up by 01:01:37.849 --> 01:01:40.869 people, you know? Right. Right. We're great and 01:01:40.869 --> 01:01:42.610 all, but we ain't that great always, you know? 01:01:44.929 --> 01:01:47.550 It's fine until, you know, a weirdo approaches 01:01:47.550 --> 01:01:50.250 you in the bathroom. In the bathroom. I agree. 01:01:50.289 --> 01:01:53.139 That's going to be my T -shirt. to promote anything 01:01:53.139 --> 01:01:55.360 I work on now. It's all playing games until they 01:01:55.360 --> 01:01:58.320 stand next to you in a urinal. Put a urinal in 01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:00.380 the back. Put some bitch in the back and I'll 01:02:00.380 --> 01:02:04.679 be fine. Mr. Ferrell, thank you so much for coming 01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:06.699 on the broadcast, man. This was a lot of fun, 01:02:06.739 --> 01:02:09.139 guys. Thank you for having me on. And love and 01:02:09.139 --> 01:02:12.199 respect to, you know, Harlingen, McAllen, Farr, 01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:15.780 fuck even Brownsville. I ended up, because of 01:02:15.780 --> 01:02:18.780 the weather, I got stuck in the region just a 01:02:18.780 --> 01:02:22.739 few weeks ago. Yeah, so I saw like two more towns 01:02:22.739 --> 01:02:26.300 I had never seen because I couldn't fly out of 01:02:26.300 --> 01:02:30.340 Macallan. But it was cool, man. Depending what 01:02:30.340 --> 01:02:34.760 you're into. And this is an endorsement, guys. 01:02:35.079 --> 01:02:37.000 Don't get it twisted. You can get into some real 01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:43.800 trouble in the RGV. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's my 01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:47.630 biggest endorsement. Nobody said to me somebody 01:02:47.630 --> 01:02:49.809 said to me. This is a real conversation. I had 01:02:49.809 --> 01:02:51.809 somebody the last time I was there's a few weeks 01:02:51.809 --> 01:02:53.309 ago This was not long ago. It's like maybe a 01:02:53.309 --> 01:02:56.329 month ago. I wrote McCallan and somebody said 01:02:56.329 --> 01:03:02.230 to me at the flux shout out to the flux So so 01:03:02.230 --> 01:03:05.030 I'm at the flux and I said to somebody that I 01:03:05.030 --> 01:03:06.829 was gonna go to these bars that I've gone to 01:03:06.829 --> 01:03:09.969 before to these like small deep night night club 01:03:09.969 --> 01:03:13.739 not like clubby club just like a DJ bar and I 01:03:13.739 --> 01:03:17.739 was talking about the ratios and shit and just 01:03:17.739 --> 01:03:20.880 how fun it is, essentially. I was bringing it 01:03:20.880 --> 01:03:23.840 up. And the person I was talking to that was 01:03:23.840 --> 01:03:26.519 in line said to me, oh, no, I don't go there. 01:03:26.780 --> 01:03:28.440 I don't go there. I go, did you used to? And 01:03:28.440 --> 01:03:30.440 he goes, no, not really. And he goes, and I don't 01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:36.280 think you should either. And by the way, I just 01:03:36.280 --> 01:03:39.809 said. I just said I liked going to this place. 01:03:40.429 --> 01:03:43.190 And the person goes, no, I wouldn't go down there. 01:03:43.329 --> 01:03:46.130 And I said, why? And I thought the answer was 01:03:46.130 --> 01:03:48.070 chef's kiss. He said, because you're going to 01:03:48.070 --> 01:03:54.369 get shot. Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah. And I was like, 01:03:55.269 --> 01:03:57.429 really? I don't think so, man. And he goes, no. 01:03:57.449 --> 01:04:00.170 And then somebody else goes, yeah, man, my friend 01:04:00.170 --> 01:04:04.449 got shot. And I was like, OK, first of all, relax. 01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:09.820 Okay, relax. And they said, no, it's dangerous. 01:04:10.179 --> 01:04:12.780 And then I said, and this is a weird way to end 01:04:12.780 --> 01:04:16.039 the podcast, but it's funny. I said, when I was 01:04:16.039 --> 01:04:20.400 your age, swear to God, I went full viejo fucking 01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:24.300 negro, you know? I got all OG immediately.
