Full Episode
Ladies and gentlemen, new episode of Two Bears, One Cave. And finally, my partner is actually Latino. My best friend claims Latino when it seems convenient, Danny. Absolutely. He speaks Spanish. His mom's from Peru, but his dad was white. And when he speaks Spanish, it catches everyone off guard. Yeah.
Coming into Hollywood, when you got into Hollywood, because you came in like legit, like your first movie was... Runaway Train. Runaway Train. And one of the reasons that you popped so hard was you were the authentic version of what they were trying to make a movie about. Like you were the real deal.
That's kind of what the director said. I remember when they had picked somebody else and then they wanted me after I showed up. And Andre Kozlowski, the director, was trying to tell people, no, look. This is Eric Roberts. He goes to Eric's face like this. He goes, look, face.
Ah.
Look. And this other guy who was kind of Spanish goes, ah. Look. Hey. I was like, is this guy clowning me or what? How did he say? He says, ah, ah. Adversary. It was adversary or against each other. We looked like enemies. These other guys looked like lovers. So I ended up boxing Eric Roberts.
I just watched that this morning. Because I've heard so much about the lore of that story. I'm obsessed with the little things in life that change your life forever. The one choice you make that all of a sudden, and for you, It was you got a call from someone saying there's coke on set, right?
No. Well, yeah. This guy was staying clean, you know, and he called me and said, hey, there's so much blow down here, man. I got 108 days clean, please. So I just went down to hang out with him.
unbeknownst to me that i was supposed to go down there the next day anyway as an extra so i walked on the set and uh that night and to hang out with this kid and and uh i run into a a friend of mine that i was in prison with a guy named eddie bunker eddie bunker is fascinating eddie bunker hold on remember please tell me stories about eddie bunker oh he's okay keep going i apologize but but but uh
He's looking at me and says, hey, you're Danny Trejo. Yeah. He says, what are you doing here? I said, they're going to give me 50 bucks for acting like a convict. And we laugh because we've been doing that for free for all our lives. So he says, hey, you know what? We need somebody to train one of the actors on a box. I'm like, what's it pay? And he said, $3.20 a day.
