No notes I remember 22 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.319 I went in, and this is Genie's mentality. I love Genie. 23 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.560 I went in, I went to a party or something. 24 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.040 I saw Genie or the show had already been cranking. 25 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.640 It was our wrap party.

So I 32 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.719 absolutely love Genie. I love that this show is here 33 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.840 in La because I'm La born and raised. And just 34 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.239 the fact that we're going to do our season two 35 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.079 right again here in La and it's uplifting the economy 36 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:45.840 here in our own city. We get to stay. The 37 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.599 show is about La. It's a dude, it's the best. 38 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.319 That's something that I really enjoyed. Like watching the show 39 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.439 was like anytime they showed a local spot, I was like, bro, 40 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.640 I know where that is. I know it was like 41 00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.840 home right now, Like that's where I grew up. 42 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.040 Yeah, it's really dope. I see, like the city, like 43 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.079 every time it comes up like downtown or something makes 44 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:05.959 me want to shed a tear. 45 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.120 Bro you grew up or actually what you were born 46 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.840 in Montapelo. I was born in Monapela and then lived 47 00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.199 I lived all over. I moved around a lot as 48 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.960 a kid. I feel like that's one of the best 49 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.800 things that could ever happened to me. I feel like 50 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:21.919 at times it felt like dang okay, I got to 51 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.560 pick up my stuff and move around. But like, honestly, 52 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.960 I got to know so many people on so many 53 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.159 sides of the city and just the minor differences. 54 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.400 You learned that Boyle Heights is not East La. You 55 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.240 learn all these certain things that people are proud of 56 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.080 their own, you know, communities about But yeah, I can't 57 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.840 claim a city. I love it all. What about and 58 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.199 though about JNS Monabela. Yeah, I've never been. 59 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.400 Oh damn, I've never been.

Literally 67 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.199 my parents' address is like La but two doors down 68 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:13.840 is Monabella. 69 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.039 It's tough because you probably had friends that were growing 70 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.159 up in that area too. Same thing with me. Like 71 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.560 at one point I live borderline Alhamburg City Terrace.

It was literally like right there, and 74 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.080 then I go and kick it off, says our child 75 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.080 is on New York Street with all my friends there 76 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.400 and skateboarding.

You just tappen every day, it's already set. 337 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.399 But when you're trying to navigate it by yourself, you 338 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.440 really rely on the people around you to guide you. 339 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:48.559 And this is everything. What's up? 340 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.919 Jack Something that I love about your character is that 341 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:55.320 it just feels like you're playing yourself. Like it just 342 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:58.120 feels like and that's like what you know. 343 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.879 Who's playing themselves is Chat Hanks. He's respectfull, hef. 344 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:04.039 Yo. 345 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.120 He's also an animal too, But like I just feel 346 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.440 like you seeing you talk and I'm just like, bro, 347 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.519 I feel like he's just not even going off a script, 348 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.960 like he's just this is how he would literally respond. 349 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.840 You know what, it's it's very scripted at times. The 350 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.559 well mostly every take we do a little bit of improblems, 351 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:25.919 we're done with with what we've had to say, right. 352 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.600 I did pull a lot from my own life to 353 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:31.639 bring to this character. I feel like Jackie is a 354 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:35.799 definitely has an influence of me, different parts of me. 355 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.600 That is, I have to be so responsible, I have 356 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.759 to be so disciplined. I'm always in this constant state 357 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.120 of having to do what I have to do as 358 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.600 opposed to what I want to do, and Jackie was 359 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.480 me getting to do everything he wanted to do. It 360 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.759 was a little less responsibility. It was kind of having 361 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.120 like the you know, Jackie was just given the world 362 00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.279 right and it's going to enjoy it. And sometimes because 363 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.559 of your responsibilities, you don't get the shot to enjoy 364 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:07.480 things as much as you should. So, yeah, Jackie's very freeing. 365 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.359 Jackie's dope. 366 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.799 I appreciate that you can use that as a drop. Yeah, 367 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:15.359 I wasn't talking about his characters, talking. 368 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:19.480 About did this Jackie ever tell you about the crazy 369 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:21.119 like name things? 370 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.839 Was filling me and she was FaceTime. 371 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:29.240 Yeah, my niece's name is Aila. Obviously your character's name 372 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.359 is Jackie.
