What's going on that his you here in the background is snake that I got from Sergio

Chican's house I have a pet snake now in the studio.

It's either a snake or a radiator depending on where you're from and what your frame

reference is if you're from New York City or the Bronx or one of the five boroughs which

is you know what look that's about 20 million people then you're going out as an old

school radiator that I heard a rumor they created it to put so much heat into your apartment

because it was the time the Spanish flew that they constructed these houses I'm sorry

these apartments these are not houses but if you are an ethnic immigrant this is your

house this is your house and you got it handed down to you in a what they call rent control

program where as long as a family member lived in the house you could occupy that house

which is what I lived in with the gentleman behind the camera for eight years we hid

from our landlord he would come and knock on the door and we would just stand there

and go shhh we shared the apartment with about 14 mice it was a whole family and I would

catch him and I didn't have any problem throwing him out alive I thought I was a good person

I think I think I'm a good person but I don't care about mice you would throw him out a lot

when they got caught on the glue traps I would just pick up the glue trap and throw him in

the black trash bag and throw him in the dumb waiter like fucking yaya's potatoes after

four days okay because if you lived in one of these apartments that a pre-war you had

a grandma that you call the foreign name it was an abuela or a yaya or what are the Italians

call them mommy mama I'm Italian I want to leave it with my mommy I mean Italian kids there

we Italian kids have a real estate agent that just takes them right to their mother's basement

and said here's a great apartment we got for you the rent is free and the food smell comes from
