Wilmer & Freddy vs. The Machine

0:00Hey, I'm Freddie Prinz, Jr. On my podcast wrestling with Freddie, we talk about what happens when things take a turn in and outside of the ring. Like when the heel wrestlers back you up into a corner and your tag team partner jumps in to have your back. It helps to have backup. That's why so many people turn to their state farm agent to help choose the coverage you need and to be there when it counts. Because when life gets unpredictable, it's good to know someone's in your corner. Like a good neighbor, state farm is there. You know that place you can think about the department of the lavador and secadora or the house compatible. That's you Sunday. Everyone has won. For me, that day came with a lot of work.

Welcome to those amigos where all your dreams do come true. All your dreams come true. Freddie, our producer, Leo Klem, is pushing us to do some fake chemistry small chat.

4:15Uh-huh. He wants us to kind of, I don't know, chitty chat. Yeah. And catch up. Since the last couple of weeks, we have some repeats on our feet. I see. I see. And I think he feels, but perhaps he's making a terrible assumption that our audiences are very excited to find out where we were. And these couple of weeks. Yes. I hate to report that it's going to be quite underwhelming. But you started your show again, right? I hope that's the look at you looking at the bright side. No, congratulations. What? What's easy, man? We're in season 24, but this is your my tenth season. Oh, come on. We got to celebrate. We got to celebrate that. I'm very proud of that. Very excited. I love the show. To be 10 years on this. And also, I just, I just crossed 200 episodes too. So that's kind of crazy. But yeah, I know I'm very, I'm so grateful to, to be able to keep the light on with the shit that I love.

5:16You're like in the pantheon of actors. You've reached this rare space in the TV world. It's, yeah, it's like it's like when you enter the matrix. It's always that what it feels like, like the matrix, you're just like somehow then recycling your, your, you know, Wilmer until it shows, but I'm. No, but 10 seasons here. 10 seasons on your other show. Yeah, yeah. Come on. What other actor could match that? No, I'm very, I'm very grateful. I mean, it's, it's kind of insane to think about it. But, but yeah, I know I'm having fun. We started the show back up and, you know, we premiered October six. And, you know, new vibes, new things, new themes and we're having a lot of fun. Yeah. My character was just some crazy stuff. Episode three, too. So that's exciting. What? Well, my character, my character is been itching to get out of the cold body business. And he's, he was built to, to intersect the bad guys before they do the bad stuff.

6:20Yeah. And so he's the, there's a, there's a cage animal in him that wants to go back and do the things that he used to do, which were brutal. Right. So in our campus of three, we go back in time and we see like, you know what, Taurus used to be like before he joined the NCS team. Oh, that's cool. Not really. Yeah. Like to the point where they'll play back like archives of me on the cover and all that in my, in my existing crew of NCS was like, I like that. Yeah. This can happen, Taurus. Yeah. Because of stuff that they see me do completely changes the paradigm of my character for the season and their eyes and their hearts are like, who is really Taurus, you know. So anyway, so many really fun. We had a great guest star, Michael Malley, who's just awesome. Michael Malley. Yeah, Michael Malley. Yeah. Great comedian. How he's on show, amazing writer. Yeah. You know, really, really gifted actor.

7:20And we had a blast together. And he played like an old school friend, you know, and I want to give away too much. How does it work? Do you go in and do you discuss your character arc before every season? Yeah, we try to, you know, kind of gather, come together and say, what are the themes this season? So every year, I think it's one of the things that, like, one of the important factors and exercises that I embrace at the beginning of every season, it's just to try to make sure that the character doesn't get stale for me. Yeah. You know, I wanted to stay new for me. So every season we come up with a theme. Yeah. And we're entering like wild tourists, you know, he's. I like that. That's a great. It's fun. Did you pitch that idea? Yeah. Yeah. But also some great writers came forward immediately. They're like, I want to put wood in that fire. So they wrote some amazing episodes. So we're doing good there. Do you feel, do you still feel challenged after 10 years? It's interesting.

8:20It's a great question. So it's actually a really provocative question because I don't want to come across as cynical or, or, or, or. Or two pretentious that I'm so good at doing this thing, right? But playing a character for over 200 plus episodes and doing a for 10 years gives you a certain level of strength and effortlessness. And I think that I'm entering that like 10,000 hour people talk about with this character, you know. Yeah. And. And it's fun. You know, so I'm, I guess what I would say is. I'm still enjoying it because. We can find these different areas that we can kind of filter through, but, you know, hard is you, you play something. You know, for a while. I've never done 10 seasons. Yeah. But you'll play the character that's like locked in a courtroom. Yeah. Right. And like you're just doing the groundhog day, but you got to find it was new for you and your character about the thing that you're presented, right? So you can make it a performance that finds its way different.

9:24You know, hemispheres, you know, so. That's wonderful. You know, but it's fun. It's fun. I remember a really good time. You know, and I will see what happens. And, you know, we said I'm having a good time. Yeah. That's not a good time. And, you know, the season is, it's fun. We're having a good time. But, but so that's, that's the one thing. And, you know, I'm developing a couple, you know, sizable projects that are looking very good and. Yeah. Let's just say it's built in some of the. Our common love, you know, a old. Yeah. Okay. Okay. We'll see how we see how it goes. But yeah, but older than that, I mean, you know, I tried with him here and there for work and all that stuff and just, you know, like chasing a one year old now, you know, so that's going very good. He's upstairs. I want to see him. Bro, he's, we shaved the size of his head. Yeah, yeah. Like you. Like you're here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he's like, he looks like a soccer player. He's got a Molotino.

10:24Molotino. Yeah. He looks aggressive, dude. He looks aggressive. For a one year old. Yeah. For a one year old. He's doing big things, you know. But my mom hates it. Everyone hates that haircut. Yeah. It was like, what did you do? The mallet. Yeah. I'm like, it looks cool. He's like, he's what? Because he's hairy so nice. And then he's like, let him grow. Yeah. Yeah. But it's, it looks, it looks awesome. It's been really great and the kind of doing awesome. But good. What about you, man? Good, man. Good. Just, just plugging away. But I'm also hoping to announce some, some really cool stuff. You know, it's crazy for me to be sitting on that. And here you say that. It'd be like, yeah. I mean, we want to tell everyone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I, I, oh man. God willing. Yeah. Yeah. I felt like I, I feel like I'm probably, like he's doing it in there. Yeah. Yeah. So that's. And then when you see the fruits. You, he's like, oh, there's, and I can't wait to tell people.

11:24But I, I just feel so blessed that, and you know, it's wonderful when you see the fruits of your labor, right. You put so much time and, and effort into something. And then you see it all kind of coming. And the pollution. But I'm certainly putting in the work. And it's something that I've never done before. And it's and it's flexing this other muscle. It's exciting. Yeah, I'm hoping that by the time this episode, like what you're gonna announce, it'll be ready to say something. Oh, that's just fine, right? I mean, for you all listening to this at home, sitting on what I'm sitting on here is with Freddie, it's really exciting because it's, and you know, you get to know him when we're like, oh, it's so cool, but we can say it. So we'll just, we'll just stop it there, but we're really excited to bring you guys along in our journey and at the wondrous way in which our careers are kind of growing in different places and different directions, you know, but you weren't London, right? Didn't you, did we talk about Bad Bunny and London already? Did we do that?

12:24Bad Bunny and London. Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny. You just went back to me. But you went back. Yeah, I went back. Yeah, I was there. We went on vacation the first time. Are you playing, are you gonna be the new James Bond? Yeah. Is that why you're keep going to London for the Super Meetings? That's announcement. That's announcement. That's announcement. No, no, no. I'm looking to do a project out there and I'm just, you know, I've just been sitting the, sitting the groundwork and sitting the foundation for it, which has been really interesting, been really exploring, getting educated on this whole sort of AI thing, you know, I'd be interested in hearing your take. It's so, so new to me and I know that it's been pretty controversial out there. And yeah, there's a lot of ethical dilemmas. Yeah. There's a lot of, there's a lot of doomsday predictions, you know,

13:25with this AI thing. I mean, yeah. It's a, it's a, well, where do you stand on it? Where are you at? Look, I really don't know too much about it to have like this full opinion about it, but from what I've seen in terms of how it pertains to our work, the way that I've been seeing it used, it's the same way as like the effects was before it, right? Right. I think that every generation has had its evolution in film, right? Whether it's, went from silent to talkies, right? Whether it was sort of the George Lucas generation in the 70s or when VFX came in in the 90s and 2000s and I think that every generation our industry has its evolution of technology. And I think that if it evolves that way and it's done in a way that's ethical and respectful and follows and line with what those evolutions are, then that's the natural progression of things

14:25and we can't stop that in our industry, right? And from what I've seen, my trips to London and other places, it's been used that way. It's been used in the way that VFX is being used with the same amount of people, with the same amount of work, almost like with the same execution has been very, very similar to what I've seen. Hola, it's Honey German here. Let's be honest, in our community, especially us women, we do it all.

It's so much more than where we're going. It's who we're bringing along with us. It's family, it's an extrajente, it's making memories. It's that feeling of, todos juntos, vámonos. That's what we do. We make room for one more person, one more bag, one more snack, one more stop, and one more, ultima parada. And honestly, those unplanned moments, sometimes they become the memories we talk about forever. That's why I love that the 2026 Nissan Rogue

And then there's a 12.3-inch display with Google built-in. You can get your map going, find the route, put on the perfect soundtrack, and keep the whole thing moving. Because the best adventures aren't always the ones you plan weeks ahead. Sometimes it's, oh yeah, where are we going? I don't know. Okay, boys, vámonos. And those can be the best ones. As you saw, most, the things that drive us are the people beside us, the memories we make, and making sure everyone has a safe seat for the journey. The 2026 Nissan Rogue. Ready for every adventure planned or spontaneous. You fell in love at first crunch. And now the crispy chicken crunch wrap slider is back at Taco Bell. But with a twist, it's crispy, all-white meat chicken nuggets

20:33inside a slider-sized crunch wrap. But now you can enjoy them with the kick of Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch. Or try the tortilla chip-coated nuggets on their own. They're waiting for you. The crispy chicken crunch wrap slider, a brand-new classic is back, only at Taco Bell. Do you think, I mean, it's like, because the big question is, oh, right now it's a tool. Right now it's an enhancing tool to get you either farther, to get you even, or it gets you there faster, or to even be more in detail with the capability, so how you can describe and create. And like really, really picture what's in your head and actually make it a reality in a way that's exactly how you saw it in your brain. So it's like, it's kind of bridging the gaps between like interpretation and actual picture. And so in the big fear is that it's going to go from there

21:33to then a complete takeover of creative license and creative agency. And if they create agency, which by the way, like there's a lot of reports saying that like a lot of these agents have, AI agents have been kind of bonded together and like breaking out of an actual system and penetrating a different one. It's kind of crazy to think that AI is kind of breathing on that level, but did you fear that? Did you feel like is that a concern you have? Well, if the experts are saying they're concerned about it, then I think that we should be concerned about it. If there's already data that shows that AI is doing that, then yeah, we should be concerned about it. I've been concentrating more on sort of the film side and what it looks like from the film side and how to be involved in this new generation in this new wave of evolution. And I think that the perception is like,

22:34you just typed the prompt in and then voila, right? You have this movie, but the stuff that I've seen behind closed doors is very much not that. It's very much the amount of work, the amount of people that you would see in a VFX studio somewhere, you know? But in terms of what you're saying, yeah, man, that's freaking scary. And that must be even scarier for you, right? For like, you have this whole new generation of kids and that's the stuff that they're gonna have to be dealing with. And how does that manifest into the kitchen? I mean, it's crazy because we're not even thinking about it right now, right? So we're just so worried about changing diapers and like feeding them and putting them to sleep that we're forgetting that they're about to enter an entire reality. That's, they're gonna be their own personal nios in the matrix. And now we talk about the matrix that they're gonna enter the matrix. Yeah. You know, but look, also it becomes a situation where now AI is learning you in ways that you don't know yourself.

23:34Yeah. It almost can eventually predict what your outlook on things can be based on the historical recording of not just opinion, but how your opinion has changed over time. Right. So it becomes so comprehensive, you know, so, you know, it poses the question like how well does AI know you now? Right. It's kind of intense to think about that. I've never used it in a way. Yeah. Have you used it in that way? I used it to ask like, for example, like I put myself as the actor and then I remove myself from the actor and become the producer. Yeah. So then I have AI assist me in the perception of how this actor versus the role, versus the genre, like how would it perform for audiences? And it gives you this comprehensive explanation on why Wilmer Valderama would make the most sense and X, Y vehicle based on his expertise and like he's traveling with the military,

24:36whatever, like it'll create this like hypothesis that says this is the best way to continue to sell your art. So it's like crazy stuff like that, right? But Leo, how do you, how do you feel about AI and how do we put AI to the test? Well, I got a little game for you all. Oh, yeah. It's a game. Yeah. I did a little digging with AI. OK. Drop your names in AI and see what they predict about you. Oh. And when you say what do you mean like, I'm going to sound like a old man here. Do you mean like when you go on Google and it says AI assist them on them and then you press that? OK. Yeah. So I mean, I've used it. Wilmer and I were chatting earlier and it's, there's a statistics saying three and four Americans now use some sort of major AI tool. And Wilmer made a good point that like things like that with Google. Yeah. AI is integrated into so many things we don't even realize these days. Shopping, search engines. Even when you're on your computer like Grammarly, that's a form of AI, right?

25:40Grammarly, correct. That's in your grammar. A lot of editing tools for some media posts, things like that. There's AI everywhere. But I use Chatchy BT. And to you, well, for this, I made a little game and I said, hey, Chatchy BT, let's predict what Wilmer Freddie could be up to. And let's see if they're kind of on the, don't look at your paper. All right. All right. Since you asked me to step in, I'm going to read them to you and you guys discuss if AI got it right around. Oh, man. All right. So we'll start with you, Freddie. Yeah. What does Freddie's perfect day look like? AI said, no alarm, great breakfast, something outside, no unnecessary meetings. Good dinner, drinks and stories. Oh, yeah, yeah. Some of that. Yeah. So when I'm not working, I naturally just get up early, you know, but you have an alarm. You sit up in the alarm. Not when I'm not working.

26:40That's crazy. Unless there's a reason for it. I mean, you do it. You have like, if you're not working, you're still working. No, I'm talking about the fact that AI says like, no alarm. Oh, oh, I see. I see. Yeah, definitely use some outdoor stuff. I've sent you photos of me on my electric bike, trying to get Wilmer Freddie outside. To charge his up to see him come with me. What else did it say? No unnecessary meetings. Good dinner. Yeah, definitely good dinner. Great breakfast. No, I don't do about, I only eat once a day. So yeah. And fuck off. They fuck off. They fuck off. They're wrong. And then you're mad. AI, you made an assumption about him being a human being that he's trained three times a day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, when I'm training hard, I'll eat more than once a day. Oh, maybe he did get it right. Yeah, yeah. Wilmer, yours is early morning coffee, workout, breakfast with the family, something creative,

27:42big dinner with family and friends, tequila and music. Yeah. Tequila. Yeah. I mean, some cast of dragonis. I mean, I'm telling you, I'm not going to ask. That's what I'm going to ask. I'm not going to ask. I'm not going to ask. I'm not going to ask. I'm not going to ask. I'm not going to ask. I'm not going to ask. I'm not going to ask. I'm not going to ask. Because I heard has the connection with cast of dragonis. Oh, do they really? Oh, yeah. Nice. Our head and CEO owns cast of dragonis. What? I don't know that. Yeah, that's why he gives this, you know, that, that to us, but that's what other people. You. No, I didn't get one for him. Let me. I didn't get it for them. Do it. Okay, that's not, let me see. Early morning coffee workout, breakfast with family, something creative. Yeah, that's it. Big dinner with family friends. Big dinner with friends. It's a little outdated. Like I used to have to. Yeah. Remember, we used to put a dinner together with so many people and I just gather everyone and talk and hang out and whatever.

28:42Yeah. Do love tequila, you know, but that's such a specific thing. Big dinner with friends, tequila and music. Yeah. That was, that was who I was, baby. Yeah, yeah. Now I'm a daddy. I was, that was you into 2000s. Yeah. All right. Let's move on. Yeah. Biggest pet peeve. We'll start with Wilmer. People who show up unprepared and waste everyone else's time. Oh, that's so specific. But so right on. So right on. It's not just about showing up. It's about, it's about wanting to be there. And if you want to be there. Yeah. You're going to do your homework and prepare. You're going to, you're going to, you're there to enjoy it because. You're going to be there to be there. Yeah. And that's your preparation sets you free. Right. So if you. Yeah. That's a big pet peeve. Mine. People coming in just like coming in late and then just like winging it. Or like just, just. You know, I don't know. I've struggled with that with some employees in my company.

29:42Especially like the head of our, our podcast division is lazy. That guy. All right. This episode of dose of me goes is now over. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. No. No. No. No. He's the one of the heart. He's the hardest working guy in my entire company. So. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. He's. No. He's a leader. But, but anyways. So I, I kind of agree with that. Yeah. I just was very generic on that one. Yeah. Yeah. All right. What do you think that means people who take themselves too seriously? Like, what does that mean? Doesn't know how to. Kind of rug. Or, I mean, yeah, I don't think you're wrong. But I also think people take themselves to serious as the people that like to hear themselves talk so much. All right. All right. I see what you say.

30:42You know, like they just like one, one let other people share because they're just like, you know, like what I'm saying, it's really important. Right. Right. Right. Anyway, that's one element now. All right. Another one. What compliment means the most to. Wilmer. Being told he's a good father, partner or friend. Not that he's talented. Yeah. It's true. I mean, talented is a self validating thing. I know that I'm talented. I don't need to be telling the red door that I'm talented because if I wasn't, I couldn't keep this light on. You know, that's true. But I will say talent is also a consequence of of hours of of of perfection of craft or whatever that makes your job sustainable. Right. Like it's mathematical for me. Talent. It's math is science. It's not luck. It's not a compliment. I think talent means that you've done the work to be good at what you said you were going to do for a living. That's what that's the way I look at talent. Talent to me is a consequence of of preparation. You know, so preparation.

31:42You don't get a medal for being prepared. You know, that's what you're supposed to do with this is how you, is what you do for a living. Yeah. But, but wait, so, so would we read me that again? Being told he's a good father, partner or friend. Yeah. Yeah. I put a lot of value in like how I show up for people. So I guess it would mean a lot to me, but I don't need it. I don't need people telling me that I'm a good friend. Yeah. I'm not because I don't like hearing it, but because I, you don't do it with the expectation that someone's going to be like, oh man, let me tell you about Will. You know, like, yeah, for the praise. I don't care about that. Like you just got to show up when you need it, you know, Freddie, that people feel comfortable being themselves around him. Sure. Yeah, I guess so. I like for people to just be themselves. But also you create an environment. I mean, I think that's super interesting because you are a very disarming,

32:44very humble, very respectful human being, but you also create an environment. Yeah. Where people can feel like they can, they are, they are important to you. Oh. And that they're being listened and then being heard and they're being, you know, and they're being connected to. So therefore it allows for them to bring their best. Oh, I think, I think definitely that. Well, that's interesting. That's so specific, but I think it's really good. Yeah, that is specific. Yeah. You do feel flatter by that? Flattered. I don't know. I don't know if you. I don't know if you. Of course, does it say how gullible I am? Yeah. You know, one more always gets me. What's the next one? Yeah. Wait, do you feel that's pretty good about you? Yeah. Yeah. I think it's a Midwest thing, you know, like I just, I just, I just like for people to be themselves. I don't, I don't like when people are pretending or they're putting on a show or they're like,

33:44he says, like, chill, just be yourself. Just be cool. Yeah. So I'm sure cool. I'm cool. But you need, for example, if you, if you create that for yourself, you feel that they have the license to do the same. I guess so. So I think that's. I guess for me, tracks. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. I guess I, because I don't think of it that way. It's just, it's just so inherent as to who I am. You know, I don't think of it that way. Well, it's honey German here. Let's be honest in our community, especially us, we do it all. We work, we take care of the family, we hustle, but we don't have to. But even the strongest need a break, only in China, that's why I love talking about real stuff on my podcast. Because we're all out here doing our best and sometimes having alguien into a skin, a so as it, all the difference, like a state farm agent, they're the kind of hinted that shows up, listens and helps you get the coverage you need. It's not about needing help. It's about knowing you deserve to feel supported.

You already know it's not. And I mean, who hasn't been there?

They've got all your favorite brands in one place. With an incredible range of shades, finishes, and coverage options, so you can find the one that actually looks like your skin.

Okay, guys, it's Hispanic Heritage Month and that's got me thinking about what drives us as Latinos. It's so much more than where we're going. It's who we're bringing along with us. It's family, it's an extra gente, it's making memories. It's that feeling of todos juntos, vámonos. That's what we do. We make room for one more person, one more bag, one more snack, one more stop, and one more ultima parada. And honestly, those unplanned moments, sometimes they become the memories we talk about forever.

38:49That's why I love that the 2026 Nissan Rogue is designed for the adventures you plan and the ones that just happen. And with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and 5 Drive modes, the Rogue is ready for wherever the road takes you. And when everyone's got their hands full, the motion activated liftgate makes loading so much easier. There's plenty of space for all your passengers and a system to help keep all things they bring with them organized. Because let's be honest, Nuestra gente can pack a lot of stuff. And then there's a 12.3-inch display with Google built-in. You can get your map going, find the route, put on the perfect soundtrack, and keep the whole thing moving. Because the best adventures aren't always the ones you plan weeks ahead. Sometimes it's, oh yeah, where are we going? I don't know. Okay, boys, vámonos. And those can be the best ones. As you saw most, the things that drive us are the people beside us, the memories we make, and making sure everyone has a safe seat for the journey. The 2026 Nissan Rogue, ready for every adventure planned or spontaneous. I love days like these at the pool, but my moderate to severe plaques rise is can sometimes take me out of the moment.

39:54I'm ready to make a splash with clear skin thanks to SkyRizzy, Rizzenkizmab Rizza. SkyRizzy is a prescription-only injection for adults who are candidates for systemic or phototherapy. At four months, most people saw 90% clear skin when measured from head to toe, and many were even 100% plaque-free. People also saw significant improvement in psoriasis symptoms of pain, redness, itching, and burning. Don't use if allergic to SkyRizzy, serious allergic reactions, increased infections, or lower ability to fight that may occur. Before treatment, get checked for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor about any flu-like symptoms or vaccines. Now there's nothing on my skin thanks to SkyRizzy, and that means everything. Ask your doctor about SkyRizzy, the number one dermatologist prescribed by allergic psoriasis. Visit SkyRizzy.com or call 1-866 SkyRizzy to learn more. What's the next one? That's all we got, but I got a different game for you. Oh! So, this one, we figure out if one of you knows the other person better than AI does.

41:00Oh snap. So I'll ask a question, and for example, ask a question to you, a member, about Freddie. Yeah. And do you answer it, and then I'll say AI's response, and then Freddie gets to decide who answered it better. Oh, damn. So you got the AI answer, right? I have the AI answer. Okay. All right. Here we go. AI's answer is pretty short, and to the point. Okay, great, great, great, great. We can't have an elaborate one in a very... No, no, no, no, sure, because if the more elaborate, then less you really know. I guess. All right. All right. Okay. I think we'll start with Freddie. You'll answer this about Wilmer. Yeah. What would Wilmer actually do with a completely free Saturday? I think Wilmer would know what to do with himself with a completely free Saturday. I'm surprised when I see this guy. I'm surprised when I get like DMs from him on... I'm like, how does Wilmer even have time to like send me a DMs? I come across something funny or constructive or inspiring.

42:03Yeah. I'm like, Freddie, I don't know what to say with Freddie in that. Yeah. And I think it's wonderful because that means that you have like a moment to... And I'm thinking about you, man. If we have a moment to like entertain yourself. I think if Wilmer had a free Saturday, I just think you do some with your kids. This is what I think. I think you take a kid somewhere or you do something with your family. You're such a family dude. And I think any free moment that you have... Got that back. ...goes towards the munchkins upstairs. Yeah, that's happening. Yeah. A.I.s response. Plan to do nothing and somehow turn it into a productive day. Ooh. Yes. I mean, it's your first answer. It was kind of your answer. Yeah. Your first answer, right? Because I... Weekends, I was thinking of Caller too. I will win. Yeah, you know, like I'm like, okay, you know, they're... Are they in the pool playing right now? I'm going to... Yeah. You know, like I'm jealous. Yeah. All right, all right, that's crazy. So then they're both right.

43:03Yeah. Both right answers right. I'll give a point to you, A.I. Okay. Half a point. Half a point. Yeah. Same question. Uh, what would Freddie actually do with the complete freeze Saturday? Oh, he'd go on an electric bike ride. That's true. I think he looks at a Saturday that air is nice. The sun is crisp. And you know, he has a... He has 100% charge in his battery. Yeah. His bike stays plugged. Yeah. And then he's... He's going to roll out and take a... A long trail the way to probably Malibo. And then bring it back. And that's what he would do. A.I. Response. Make no plan and somehow end up having a better day than everyone who did. That's so interesting. Okay. Pretty, pretty, pretty general. Pretty generic. Yeah. A.I. Is generic with these ones. Um, let's ask two more for each of you. Um, what would...

44:04Freddie, what would Wilmer tell his 25 year old self? Ooh. Oh, man. Well, I knew you back then. Yes, I know. That's what I was trying to say. Yeah. What would you tell your 25 year old... Get off the mic. No. What I recall about you at that age... I mean, we're all 25s. We're doing what 25 years are doing. What I recall about you at that age is that you were just... You were just as driven as you are now. Obviously, it took you the time that it took you to get to where you're at now. So I think that you would tell your younger self to keep going. That you're going to get there. But I remember you always having aspirations to... To produce and to have a company and to... You know, like... I don't know one time. I think you were around that age. You had called me and it was something that you were doing or something that you were putting together. I don't know if it would even qualify as producing, but it was a form of producing.

45:06And it was something. And it was around that time. So I... I don't remember what it was. It was at the Voto Latino PSA's... Short films, maybe. It was something like that. It was something like that. It was something like that. It was a sorry. And I were like, let's do this mini movies and tell people to register to vote. That might have been it. And it was like a West Side Story type of thing. And then we did a different one. There was like movies, little tiny movies. Yeah. It's interesting. But I remember we would have our conversations and you were always doing a little something like that. So now that I see what you're doing now, like it tracks, it makes sense that you were going in that direction. So I think that I would tell you to just keep going. That you're going to get there. AI's response is... You don't have to say yes to everything just because you're grateful to be invited. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Okay. That tracks you me too. Yeah. That tracks you me too. But I would have liked some reassurance. Yeah.

46:06Because I was wildly just in search of the higher version all the time with the networking and the social life and all that stuff. Even the social life that I was living was all building like connection and building alliances and building friendship and community. Yeah. So I was going to try to piece it together. Okay. All right, Wilmer. What would Freddie tell his 25 year old self? I mean, when you think about what he achieved by the age of 25 is quite remarkable. What would it tell his 25 yourself? I would tell him that he's family will be his greatest achievement. That when he looks back when he was 25.

47:06That you that you got it right. And then you're still becoming an iconic actor. Like fatherhood is something he he absolutely nailed at a time in his life where he might have had all the tools like quickly he evolved into a family. And then you're still became an iconic actor. So it's like, I don't know, kind of like a, you got it right. I mean, like you did it. You know, you, you, you were a great father. Oh, I received that right. I mean, that 25. You know, who would have imagined, right? Some people are like, okay, I'm going to become a father. But you at that point, you were a father to how old you're old? I see one else 25. My son was five, five and three. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, because he and I are uncertain. Yeah, that time, right? And in our business, right? You don't know where the next gig is going to be. I was saying that part of your life, you got it right. Yeah.

48:06Yeah. But what did I say? Relax. Have to shit your worry about isn't going to matter. Oh, that's interesting. What comes up for you when you hear that? Have to shit is not going to matter at at 25. Stuff that I was worrying about. Huh. What were you worrying about at 25? Like feeding my kids. Yeah. I was feeding the family like paying rent. But if you're hiding where it about it, they would have not gotten fed. So, AI, you should have been on that one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was my kind of one track mind. Yeah. I had to have to feed three people and myself. Okay. What else you got? One more thing. This is for both of you. Yeah. I asked AI where should dosa Migos vacation together? Ooh. They have an answer. But do you want me to give you the answer first? Yeah. It's for sure. Mexico City. Oh, Mexico City City. It's cool. I was going to say what Hacker.

49:07Yeah. Because you're getting old to kill a tasting and I don't think we've got it cool. Uh, no, I mean, I think. I know why they say that. Yeah. It's because the. Why? Because. Because the name of the show is in Spanish. Right. Yeah. If I really think about who we are as a show. Yeah. I picked somewhere that wasn't us because our culture. Can fit in anywhere. So I would say. I don't know. Japan. Oh, yeah. I'd love to go to Japan. You know, doing an episode out of the gold temple. If in. Kyoto. Let me say. Yeah. I love that. I, you know, what was that movie? Why are you laughing? It's so good. It's not imagining. Hey, man. Latinos in Tokyo. Yeah. You know what would be a cool episode?

50:08I remember seeing an episode. I get I'm viced or something about how Latino culture has really influenced Japanese culture. And I'd love to go there and see how that is. I'll go there and see how it works. I'll go there and see how it works. I'll go there and see how it works. There are salsa clubs. And there are Japanese people in the organization. What about that group? We were kids that salsa band that they were from Japan. Oh, no. The soul. Oh, God. Well, we got to find out. We got to find out. That's a good one. Hey, but this was a good exercise. This was really, really interesting. Yeah. I mean, some things were a little generic for me. Yeah. You know, but. But then some other stuff is like they take a lot of your lifestyle that publicly was somehow. It's like, you know, knowledge and then they just kind of cure it into. Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. Well, look, this was a great episode. I love this AI conversation and we're going to keep it going. The next three episodes will be AI Freddie and AI woman. Yeah.

51:08And we will react and Mexico City, you know. Location is counting for a Mexico episode. But anyways, this is one more about drama. This is Freddie Rodriguez.
