| 0:11.0 | Trying to record a podcast myself. |
| 0:13.5 | I have sunk this low that this is where it's at. |
| 0:16.3 | And I want to give a lesson to anyone out there who's listening, if you're in this town, |
| 0:20.2 | follow through is imperative. Because the in this town. Follow through is |
| 0:21.6 | imperative because the problem with L.A. is there's absolutely no barrier to entry. Any fucking |
| 0:27.7 | moron can put themselves in Hollywood and say I'm a writer, I'm a director, I'm a producer. |
| 0:33.2 | Anyone. You don't need anything. You don't need to go to law school, medical school like you do |
| 0:37.1 | if you want to be a lawyer or a doctor. You don't need anything except a car maybe. Not even that. You just need your feet to get you to Hollywood and you walk in town and say I'm a writer. I'm a producer and I'm a director. And then you can go start fighting the fights.

| 1:19.4 | And again, I'm not going to say there's not a lot of people out here who came out of here |
| 1:22.5 | and made a lot of money and they went and did that. |
| 1:24.6 | But all of the people that I know that have succeeded in whatever |
| 1:28.4 | form they have, whether they've made horrible shows over and over again, whether they became |
| 1:32.7 | enormous agents that made millions and millions of dollars. Everyone I know that succeeded, |
