Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you for You're coming back. Part two is underway.
What advice would you give young comedians coming up in
today's game?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
This is not only two comedians, this is to anybody
trying to make it in any anything that's different, different
or non traditional trying to be a singer type of artist.
Is you gotta think outside the box, man like. And
you gotta treat it like it's your full time even
even if you have a full time job, you know

(00:30):
what I mean, If you're working that subway, you gotta
get all your hours, but then afterwards you gotta go
and get double the hours and whatever it is you're harder.
Your craft is, man like, keep thinking. Just because you're
punching clocking clock out, don't mean you're gonna make progress,
right Like. You gotta be the their mind body. Yeah,
and you gotta you gotta like strategize, man. I didn't

(00:53):
used to strategize until I had my son. Once I
had my son, all I cared about was getting in
the right rooms and and just kind of like making
friendships with people, you know what I mean. Be ambitious
but never thirsty, Be confident but never cocky.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
How does it feel you told the story of open mic,
they're on a handful of people. Now you sell, Now
you performing in front of soul that theaters.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Do you think about it?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Do you ever when you're alone and just you and
your thoughts, do you think about like.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Damn rall you come a long way? Bro?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Nah, I don't think about it two months. I just
think about the next show and hope, hope I can
make that crowd left. Really yeah, if I if I
sit there and think about it too much, I'm up.
I don't even keep like Netflix gave me the microphone
that performed that with the show put in the case
or like, uh you know, I got like a little

(01:55):
a little glass thing from this HBO competition a long
time ago. Like I don't even like keeping that.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
So in other words, you're not You're not You're not
big on sentimentality. You're not big on no style jia hunh.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I mean yeah, like for memories and stuff, but like
stuff and I get yeah it's a memory, but like
I don't like to like like I'm not going to
have like a trophy room and be like this this
is like if you come to my house, I'm and
be like this is a trophy I want for let
me get that microphone, Like, I'll give it to my dad,
my grandma, Like they can keep it if they want.
But other than that, like I don't like keeping that stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Do you feel like it's a blessing and a curse
like a lot of the stuff you do release some
of your stuff on the internet. Do you feel like
when you release something on the internet, it spreads like
wildfire and it limits your ability to do said joke
at a later day and time.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, if I released something online, man, you might catch
me doing that joke. Like if I do a joke,
if I release a joke online, I might not say
that joke on stage again till like two three years later.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
But other than that, I always I won't release it
until I know I got some more fueling the tank
for the life show.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Have a comedian, I love I love comedians and I
love having them on and they tell the story. But
it seems like to me some of them, like, bro,
they got it so much easier now than what we
had it when we were growing up, because we had
to put the time in, you know, you had to
work on your craft.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
And they feel like, well, they had to go through
the gatekeepers.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Too, Like you say gatekeeper, they're gatekeepers.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
No, they're not gatekeepers, know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
But there are such things are gatekeepers?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well yeah, I mean not necessarily gatekeepers. But like like
you said, like the industry, whoever's booking this, you got
to go through bookers, you gotta go through casting directors
like back then, you know, they had to back like
I had, I had to build a relationship with you know,
club managers, club owners to get to do opening gigs, right,
like that's how it goes where. But then you know,

(03:50):
once I started going viral, it's like I could sell
tickets whereas you know, back you know, early two thousands,
nineties and before, they had to build a relationship just
to get into the clubs. In the clubs, well, they
have to hope that maybe this comic will throw them
bone and get them in front of this book. I
got to hope that that booker will throw my bone

(04:11):
get in front of this person. So like, yeah, I
know that's harder, hey, But also they got to do
the thing like you said, they got to recycle jokes
over and over and over again. They didn't have to
burn their jokes to get to where I'm at right,
I had to burn, Like I used to write every
joke in the notebook. I had stacks, you know. Basically, yeah,
I basically had to burn these notebooks to get to
where I'm at, you know what I mean. And so

(04:31):
once I got in front of the audiences that were
my tickets to my shoulders, like damn, like it took
an hour of my material just to get here, and
I got to think of a whole other hour another hour.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
You know, Netflix, how did you get the Netflix special?
And how did that change your career your life? Basically, my.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Manager and my agent when I first started booking shows
in la like like I was saying, like the Chicago
ones were selling out so fast, and my manager my
agent invited a lot of industry people out there, like
people from Netflix, people from Hulu, from Warner whatever company
you know, I mean, and Netflix. They liked the show.
And I think what also helped a lot. I mean,

(05:15):
I could be wrong, you know, but I'm pretty confident
with what helped a lot was that uh uh theyve
Chappelle co signed, which shout out to him.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, yeah, he's like a deal.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah. I think there was a rumor I could this
could be all wrong. You know, it's just a rumor,
but there was a rumor that like, uh, one of
the dudes who's the head of comedy in Netflix said like,
had it heard back from Chapelle in the minute or something?
But then uh, Chappelle said something. He said something nice
about me, like you finally texted and was like yo,

(05:50):
Like it was pretty funny, like right because Chappelle the
same week that I'm performing in l A And in
front of all these industry people, uh, theyve Chappelle just
pops in like that's when I met him, and Wow,
hung out and shit like it was cool a helling.
So that that week just made me look so good
in front of everybody.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
I think, you know what I mean, have a Netflix.
You know, Netflix wanted to come with a big check.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
That was a big check.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
What'd you buy?

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh man, did you get?

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Did you get yourself anything?

Speaker 1 (06:20):
I mean, when you were growing up, if you said,
you know what, let's just say for the sake of argument,
you're from the ages of six to sixteen, and you said,
if I'm mad, if I ever get my hands on
some money, I'm gonna buy.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
What I bought about two cars, about a nineteen ninety
six and poly Supersport, and I bought a nineteen ninety
Nissan Skyline gtr R thirty two, and then I took
my grandma, my mom out of that.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Now I like that last part, but I don't know
why you bought that Skyline.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Why I love that car?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
What'd you Tokyo drift?

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Nah? Those don't drifts are all well drive? Come on, Shannon,
don't be racist.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Nah, But I do understand. I like the Caprice that
the Superspool. I like the nineteen not Caprice.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Please don't offend me. It's an Impolla and I know
that identical or whatever. Hey, but it's not the same.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
You still have it?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yes, Actually, so that that first one I bought, I
remember I bought it because it had like two thousand
original miles on really yeah. The guy who sold it
to me used to go get his cuts at the
barbershop I worked there. He held on to it for
a year for me. I was like, bro, like I'm
about to pop off. I know, I am, like, I know,
I am hold on to here. Give me one year.
And he gave me a year and I went and

(07:35):
you ain't got it, cashed him out. But I actually
sold it so that I could buy one. I bought
a cheaper one from an auction because that one I
wanted to change it up and do stuff to it.
But you know that with two thousand originally it had
like sixteen hundred miles. Really, it's only going to keep
his value if you don't drive it right. And I

(07:56):
started learning that.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
You want to drive, so something you wanted, something that
you could drive. You ain't no guy that's gonna get
a car and sit on it.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
You ain't putting it.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
I don't want to collect like I want to drive.
These cars puts them out. So I went and bought
a cheaper one with a whole bunch of oil leaks
and everything. And uh, we me and my friend Luise,
he's here too. He's the one that really taught me
how to it's been teaching me to work on cars.
We changed the suspension, all the suspension to a q
A one suspension. We took out the motor were building
in that lest to put in there. We're working, we're

(08:24):
getting the train, then why't you.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Just keep it you need?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, I mean the Netflix money had broke you off,
you weren't gonna be hurt for that money if you
have just kept shut on it.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Nah, I don't want to. It's just gonna sit there
taking the real estate.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Before. Let me ask your question.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Before the Netflix thing kick you off, were you making
good money in comedy?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah? Yeah, we were touring for like like almost a
good year before before I got the Netflix special.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Really yeah? So how many?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
So?

Speaker 1 (08:59):
How many shows you do? Okay, say you go in.
Let's just say you're here in Vegas. You're gonna do
two shows, right, two shows tonight.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Two shows tonight at the No. One show tonight, one
show tomorrow. But it's a bigger it's a bigger, bigger venue.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah. Yeah, so it's what twenty five hundred, three thousand seats?
Five thousand?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Well, and I ain't even make me feel shitty, it's
seventeen hundred. Sorry, it's not living up to now, but
I'm saying seventeen hundred seats.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah, and you sold out those?

Speaker 4 (09:26):
No.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
I think we're close, but I don't think we're gonna
sell them out. I think we're right.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Under Where is this at the Venetian?

Speaker 2 (09:31):
At the Venetian? Okay, unless you can release this episode
like in the next hour, how they we're gonna sell.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Up now, but we're gonna hype it up for the
Hulu special. Yeah, yeah, that's what you you know, Hulu special.
We're gonna make that bread. Well you there already donna
cut the check now. But now, but when they see
you on the Hulu special, they're like.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Man, that dude funny man. Let me go check it out.
He come into it, he coming close by. That's what
we do.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well. I just when you like and there's something Dave
Chappelle's on me when you put your jokes out there
on the specials, like a funeral for your jokes, and
you want the most people to see that funeral. Like
I want everybody to watch my Hulu special August eighth,
it's called Planet Bosa.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Is it easier coming up with jokes when you're broke
as its opposed to when you have bread?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, hungry, hungry and horny. Now down, I got a
belly and I'm satisfied. And Brene Vodka. We sat down.
We talked about this. He said he was. He brought
up the scene from Rocky three when when Mickey's telling

(10:38):
rock He's like he got civilized. Yeah, He's like, bro,
He's like, we got civilized, like, but I like, I
don't think I don't think we got that civilized because
we go out there we still have fun man like,
Like it's comedy is very like, don't I don't care
if I have money or not, Like I still want
to crack a joke.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Right, But you said, you know, so, do you have
a greater appreciation for a guy, let's just say, like
A A Chapelle, A Cat Williams, Kevin Hart, these guys
that have these big, big followings and they've made it.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
And they still keep coming up with material.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, yeah, I have so much respect becau.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
It's kind of like an athlete, you know, an athlete
that you know, works his way up, he's hungry, he's driven,
and then all of a sudden he's making fifty sixty
one hundred million a year and he's still Floyd Mayweather,
guy that worked with hard out of Grand Rapids to
come to Vegas and woo woo woo.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
You ever see those pictures of like like Picasso or
like whatever artists and they're like, this is them in
their home studio, Yeah, right, working on their art and
it's just paintings everywhere. Yeah, they're somewhere beautiful and they're
in this beautiful house. So like, yeah, I think of
that when I think of like, you know, Chappelle, Cat Williams, whoever,
because they're still able to work on their on their

(11:55):
jokes or crafts. They're still delivering. But you know, they're
they're well off. I know they're so successful, but there's
still like it's still driven. Yeah, and I don't like
my biggest fears. And that's why I say every time
somebody hypes me up or said something like how you
introduce me? Yeah, it's like okay, like, yeah, I got
the nice house and I was like, what am I
still filling it up with picassos with paintings like so

(12:17):
it's like it just makes me want to get back
to the canvas.

Speaker 1 (12:21):

out of your parents'.

Yeah, I love cars, man, I love I love driving
them a lot. And so like we're trying to I'm
in the habit right now. I'm just buying stuff that's

think it's good for the channel, you know what I mean. Right, So,
like we're in on a marketplace about this little shitty
three fifty Z from a crackhead, and now I'm turning
into a drift car. I don't replace the whole suspension and.

I got.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yeah, Like I like, but that one's real good drive
you you know what I'm saying. So it's like I'm
in the habit of buying just more cars that that
I that I think other people can the common person
can afford them and maybe do the ship that I'm doing.
And like I didn't know a lot about the mechanical side.
I used to do pain and body, but I didn't

kind of learn that. Like everything that we want to
learn is learnable.

Speaker 1 (16:31):

don't have a patience. So you got you have to
have patience to do stuff what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, I think I do have patience. Yeah, I don't mind,
Like if I'm forty five and I want to go
learn how to bake or something like, I don't mind
being the oldest dude in the banking class.

Laced that thing out, that thing with wall to wall furnature.
You know, you got to tease my uncle.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Thankfully he had furniture I had. I had a mattress.
Now I had a I had one of those what
do they call it, the platform bed, okay you lower
the ground, and I had like, uh some dressers. My
uncle lived with me and my grandma when I was
a kid for like two months. He decked it out.
He was there for two months, but man, he decked

(17:26):
it out, and he left some badass furniture. And I
remember when he left, he said, anything I leave in
this room, you can have it. So I was like
fourteen with just like high end furniture. That was still
the furniture I had when I when I was twenty
three and I got the apartment. I think, I think,
to this day, I've never even bought furniture.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Really, I know, you ain't still got that furniture that.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I just left. I just let my loved ones like

even my son's mom as well. I was being like, hey,
when you're out of town, like you't me to get
you some furniture, like you don't got ship and so they.

Speaker 3 (18:07):

Speaker 2 (18:07):

to the bless me.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeap me understand this. You live with your family?

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Probably looks so disappointed, shan No, because I just want
to know this. Where do you live?

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Where you want to bring someone over? How did that work?

Speaker 2 (18:24):
I'm on the road, baby.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
So you don't never when you go home, you don't
never see nobody.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
You just want my son. Okay, Yeah I don't really
my son's jealous. You don't like when I've been on
a few days back home. But my son don't like that.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Mean I introduced him to maybe two girls in his life.
He don't like sharing the time, right, so.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
He gets so few of it with you because you're
on the road so much. Do you ever bring him
on the road.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I've taken them on like two road gigs.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, he like it.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, he likes traveling. He likes Denver. He liked that
they were snowing.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, so good luck with that one. Investing you say
you invested, so the money that you're making now with
the Netflix stuff you got Hulu, when you tour, you're
investing in your channel? Is that where you put your money?
Or you buy property? So what's your investment? What's the

(19:14):
thing that makes you generational wealth?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Oh? Man, I'm not even worried about generational Well, why
got to take your to the next generation? For your kids?

Speaker 3 (19:23):
In the generation they ain't.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Gonna learn how to work, you know what I mean?
Why am I gonna leave them rich? Then? How they
gonna No?

Speaker 1 (19:30):
I think you leave them enough. You leave them enough
to do something, but not enough to do nothing.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Man, I gotta leave them with as much knowledge as
I possibly can and a little bit of money to
make sure a little bit of money to make sure
they don't start off at ground zero. Maybe I want
to leave them with more valuable knowledge. They're not do
with money.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Man.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
If I leave money to anybody, it's to whatever family
I have that maybe isn't able to work or whatever. Right,
but that's on them.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Did you buy that hot twee coin?

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Nah? Hell nah? That is something so stupid.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
I don't know who everybody else getting a coin man
and make it bread off it?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
They was working now or was.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
I didn't look? Did you did you invest in bitcoin? Hell? Man,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I don't understand digital currency, and so for me, it
doesn't make sense. I mean, I need to know a
little something about it, and then you know you can't
have it. You have to have the password wrote down
somewhere and you get locked out of your your get
I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Like everybody's always looking and my dad's always talking about
that too. It's like you need to capitalize like on
every opportunity. No, you don't. Sometimes like I made good money, yeah,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Like, ain't no sense in chasing it because.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Something you couldn't be making billions for what?

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah? And I could be losing.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, I could be losing what I have right now. Man,
Like I said, my belly is full. Man.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
You make Kevin Kevin Hart at the net Flix party,
What was that experience like with Keve?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Imagine know about that? That was Yeah? That was cool though.
He was so nice. Yeah, it was just cool. He
looked so beautiful. No offense to everybody else who was
at that party. But The thing I took away the
most from that party was and it was during the festival,
and every celebrity that I met at that party or

(21:24):
that I even looked at, look pretty beat up. Yeah,
including myself. And maybe it was from party. Maybe it's
just from working so much. You know, this is a
crazy lifestyle. And then there's a lot of the celebrities
I met there. They were way more successful than I am.
I could only imagine the stresses and the work that
they have, right and then and then they Chapelle introduced

(21:46):
me to He's like Kevin, He's I want you to
meet this guy. And I look at Kevin Hart and
he looks so much more beautiful than everybody there, and.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
So much well that he got no stress.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
No, I think they injected him with like like just
new nutritions before he walked in. But he was so nice,
he was so cool man. And he was just like,
hey man, people speak highly. I don't know what to
south so nervous. I was like, hey, people speak highly. YouTube.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, he got a car collection. Yeah have you heard
about this car? Have you seen it?

Speaker 2 (22:17):
I've seen a car that they built for him on
this one YouTube video.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Oh you're talking about that that plymouth that broke Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 2 (23:01):
We went to that speed Vegas yesterday. Yeah that was tight, man.
That was my first time driving on like a circuit track.
It's tight.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm gonna go see. I want to see Sema. You
ever been to all the show?

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Nah? I went to p R I. Yeah, it's not
as big as Seema, but it's just more concentrated on
like racing products. But I hope, I hope I can
get it to SEEMA this year because you know, you
gotta like work in the car industry to get Yeah, yeah,
I hope. There's a lot of girls there.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
You smoked with your pay.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, hell yeah, I'm not gonna he got good.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
He had some good weed, have some good stuff.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
I only the weed. I didn't even take no hits
to his weed at first because I was about to
go perform and I knew he was gonna watch. So
I don't want to be too high in right, and
I'm up there in my head too much, So I
was just like nah wait. But so when I met him,
I met him. I had two shows that night, and
I met him right before my first show, where before

(23:56):
I went on stage. So then I go on stage
and he watches a little bit of the show, and
they uh in the because that's the Hollywood improv there's
another room called the Labs. When that comedian in that
room was wrapping up his show, Chappelle just popped in
and was like, Hey, anybody want to stay and hang out?
Like I'm gonna just jump on stage, you know, right,
So everybody stayed, you know, obviously Chappelle. So when I

(24:18):
got off stage from my first show, the manager of
the club was like, hey, Chappelle said, go in that
room now. So I went over there and I got
on stage with him, and I smoked cigarettes with him.
I had never smoked cigarette. I had smoked CI cigarettes
before that time, business, I hadn't smoked enough to even choose,
like mom, My first HBO appearance got me smoking cigarettes,

(24:39):
but not regularly. I was just I appeared on HBO,
but I was still very local. It didn't take me.
It didn't really like take me, give me a career.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Like.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
So I showed up to the next local open mike
at home after my HBO appearance, and I had a
feeling that a lot of the comments were gonna ask
me about it, and I got so anxious, so nervous,
and comedians a lot of commit you smoke cigarettes. Yeah,
So I went outside with the comedians that were smoked cigarettes,
and to calm my nerves, I want to smoke with them.
So I smoked a couple of cigarettes. So that when

(25:10):
I met a Peal, I wasn't just like my first time,
you know, but yeah, I got on stage with him,
and hell, y'all, I was gonna smoke with him.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Man, you meet your pal, he give you any advice?

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Uh? Not like right off the bat. Uh. He did
tell me though, he was like, man, You're like He's like,
I'm not like, no teacher, nothing like that. But if
there's there anything you want to talk about, anything I
could show you, like, just hit me up. So when
I when I closed the deal with Netflix, I asked
him like, where are the dudes in don'ts? Or like

(25:44):
what's the general direction that should going now? And he
kind of gave me. He sent me like these like
four or five mini paragraphs, and I was like, that's
what you gotta do, That's what I recommend you do,
you know, And yeah, I think thanks to that, I
had a good Netflix special.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
There are there any comedians that you haven't met that
you like to meet?

Speaker 2 (26:08):
I mean not really. I wish I could have met
Norman McDonald rest a piece of him. I thought he
was really funnier. Like I wish I I wish I
could have met Bernie mack.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Mac.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah. He has jokes that I think people would have
tried to cancel for cancel him.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know back back way back
when I mean him and prior.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
A person like that, though, person that will say stuff
like that on stage. I could only imagine what it
was like hanging out with him. Oh yeah, heerson you
know what I mean. Yeah, So I wish I could
have met Bernie mack Man.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Okay, uh, have you ever been struck? Starstruck by anybody?

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I was pretty starstruck when Chappelle walked in or when
I met Kevin Hart. But but at the same time,
like I just you know, I mean, I don't know
what it is to be starstruck. I don't know when
I'm when I'm annoying somebody, So maybe I have annoyed somebody,
like but like I don't know, Like I don't I
don't like asking for pictures because I'm like, they're probably
tired of it. But I don't know. I don't know

(27:07):
if I've necessarily been like superstars.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
You know, Joe Rogan and a lot everybody that I've had.
When I talk about Joe Rogan, they talk about from
MS Pat to all. I mean, a lot of people
talk about how Rogan helps comedians.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
That's trying to come up. Have you ever met Rogan? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:24):
I did his show one time, but I'm supposed to
do the show again. By the time this comes out,
I probably would have done it already, but I'm so
nervous on that show. I don't know what to talk
about on everybody goes on the show has conspiracy theories
up the wazoo. Yeah, or they're just like, you know,
really funny and stuff. And I don't know, I don't
know what to talk about on the show like that.

(27:46):
It's too much like I'll go on there, I'll talk
about whatever, but I feel like I'm not giving them
good conversation.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah, the conspiracy they talk about the world is flat,
there's you know.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
And then they got like science on like why flamingos
can actually lift barbells. I don't want to talk about
I haven't done my research.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
You said that Adam Sandler, you know, you want to
be kind of like a comedic actor like Adam Sandler.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Have you ever met Adam once? Yeah, he gave me
a hug. I just I didn't want to let him go.
I love Adam Sandler, you know what I mean, like
like like anybody else, like a girl watching his movies.
And I had had a general manager of my agent
set up like general meetings. You know, you get to
meet with like production studios and they get to know you.
They will ask you questions like do you want to

(28:38):
write movies? You want to write TV shows? You want
to act? Like what you know? Because that's how they
get to annoy you and see if they could ever
use you in anything. And they told me they're like, yeah,
we got your meeting with Happy Madison, so he might
be there, he might not be there. And I'm in
this meeting with these two dudes and it's pretty cool
to lay back, and all of a sudden, he just
opens the door. He's like, who's this guy? I was like,

(29:01):
how you doing, mister Sandler. It's like, my name is
roth Arbos or whatever. They introduced me to him. They're like, oh, yeah, yeah,
he's got a Netflix special and he's like, oh, congratulate you.
He's like, is your family excited for you? I was like, man,
some of them, some of them don't understand the word
I'm saying, like on stage, like they don't know what's
going on. And he was just really cool. Man. He
gave me a hug and it was cool as hell.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Right acting? Have you giving up that?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Nah? I had a couple acting rules. I had one
on the show MO. Shout out to my buddy Moe Amir.
I don't know if you've ever seen the show Mo.
That show is like necessary right now, it's on Netflix.
It's hilarious. He wrote he wrote me in on the
first episode of season two. Season one is good. Season
two I think is even better. Season two is very necessary,

(29:50):
especially with the things that are going on now. I
think Mo, it's crazy that Mo like wrote this with
his team and to see all the stuff that that's
been going on after he wrote it, Like it's almost
like he was predicting the future. Like it just it
just touches on a lot of the stuff that that's
heavy in America right now and the world. Maybe you know,

(30:11):
but I was on I was on that show. He
wrote me in that show, and I did a commercial
for Verizon or I was doing in Spanish, right, and
they didn't like the way I spoke Spanish.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
I mean, is there a way to speak Spanish?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Apparently I speak like a country type Spanish. They say,
my Spanish is from North Mexico, which it is. That's
where my family's from, North Mexico. But they were like,
I needed to talk like a neutral Spanish and they
had me meatwater dialect coach and I didn't want to
do it, but then they gave me a lot of money,
so I was like, all right. I was like, but
don't worry Mexican's I'll spread this money amongst the community.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
George Lopez went viral. Basically he was They say he
was hating on you because saying that nobody knew you
get that people from our community, when it should be
a positive, should be uplifting, somebody from the community got
out instead, somebody from the community to say something negative.

(31:06):
When you heard, I don't know if you heard it,
but so I'm sure if you didn't hear it directly,
I'm sure some family friends loved one told you or
relay to you what.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
He had said.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Everybody sent me a video.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
How did it make you feel?

Speaker 2 (31:18):
I didn't care. You're grown man. He could say whatever
he wants. It's his podcast. He paid for the equipment.
Also liked. I didn't. I wasn't too heard about it
because I wasn't like a big Lopez fan growing up, right,
some of my friends were into his stand up, but
I didn't think, like, I'm not saying it's not funny, right,

(31:38):
you know, I just wasn't into George Lopez. So, like,
you know, if it had been Adam Sandler, Dave Chappelle
was like, but.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
He's Hispanic, he's from the community. It hurts more. I
ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
It hurts more when somebody from the community said something
negative about me.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
I guess so, I don't know. They just didn't really
hurt too bad. You know, he's a veteran comedian.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Maybe he from South Mexico.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
You as far as I was concerned, I'm like, look, man,
I'm like, if he wants to talk shit with the
like from then, you know, but it didn't hurt me
too bad. And he's a veteran comedian, Like I think
he's gonna go down as one of the goats and
he outranks me. He could say that stuff like you

(32:22):
know what I mean, Like, I don't know what's gonna
happen in the future. Like I can't just sit here
and be like, why are you doing.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
That to me?

Speaker 2 (32:29):
George? Like what like what if when I'm his age,
I'm doing the same thing. I don't know what I'm
gonna be.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
You gonna be hating.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
I hate so many people right now. I hope not.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
I hope not. Apology. Did you guys have a private conversation.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
On the phone. Yeah, he called me and he apologized,
and I told him I didn't even want him to apologize.
I'm like, bro, like okay, but he was like no, no, no,
He's like, he's like, I didn't. He said, I didn't.
I really didn't know who you were. And he's like
asked around the shooting people that nice thing to say.
So he's like, he's like, my bad man.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Do you believe it's important for the younger for the
older generation to give guidance or to help if asked.
I'm not saying you have to go out of your way.
Let's just say, for the sake of argument, in twenty
years from now, when you're one of the elder statesmen
of the comedic community, do you think it's your obligation
if people were to reach out to wrap and say
a raph a man, what you think. I don't know

(33:25):
if you've seen any of my specials or any of
my performances, but if any advice that you can, you know,
partake on me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
I think that if anybody ever wants my two cents,
I'm happy to give them to you. That being said,
I think when you and maybe you know, like people
always have to keep in mind that, and especially in comedy.
I think in comedy more than in other industries. When
somebody gives you advice, you have to know that like

(33:55):
it could be great advice. It could it could be
great advice that work for them, and it could work
like nothing for you and yours because everybody's comedy style
is so different. My only advice to somebody who's in
comedy younger than me is like, you need to be very,
very very introspective. You need to hear how you sound
and know how you come off. But yeah, I think

(34:19):
it's important to pass along whatever you know.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
What are your thoughts on cancel culture?

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Is there a joke that you will not absolutely will
not tell on stage?

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Nah?

Speaker 2 (34:29):
I don't. I don't think my jokes get that bad.
Like if you if you're trying to cancel me, you
gotta be like soft, like certified soft. You know what
I mean from one of my jokes to make you
want to get to cancel me. But I don't like,
how can you cancel? I think to cancel somebody, they
have to commit a heinous crime, like for them to

(34:50):
really lose all their fans. Because usually the people that they're
trying to cancel somebody is somebody who wasn't even a
fan in.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
The first place.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
If a man has a comedian as a fan base,
it's like they're gonna be fine canceling. You're gonna make
his fans like them even more, right.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Is there okay?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Is there a jet There is there a joke that
you regret telling, like yeah, I probably shouldn't have told
that one or told it like that.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
No, I don't even remember half the jokes I tell jokes.
I mean, like I look like if I write a
good joke, like yeah, I'm proud of it. But at
the same time, it's not like a painting rum like
that was my masterpiece. Like I'm out there saying poop
and bud and yeah they like it.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
They like it, they don't. My comedy't for you.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
The Mexican I think it's name, what was it ot,
Mexican Ot. Yeah, that said the N word. Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
I mean there ain't no past. You don't get the
all bad you know, I'm cool with the home is
no bro.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yeah, I think that. Uh. I mean, I can't speak
for Mexican Ot, but what I will say is that
I don't know. It's like in Georgia, but in Texas
a lot of us were saying it growing up, and
I think it wasn't until I started going open mics
that I realized, like I don't think it was supposed
to be saying it, yeah, but I was so enclosed,

(36:14):
like I was sold.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
But you when you say it around black or when
you saying that in your community.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
No, like we're black, Like you think there wasn't no
black people where I grew up.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
No, I'm just saying we weren't saying.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
We weren't like saying it. Oh, like like oh I
heard this on TV, Like let's just say that. Like
it was just like saying bro or like good thing.
But once I started kind of going outside of my
own neighborhood, my own like circles, then I started realizing, like, nah,
ain't not supposed to be like and then wow, I
ain't know that. Yeah, So that's why, like I get
I kind of get where T's coming from. But at
the same time, like, yeah, I mean I'm not like

(36:47):
I said, I'm not gonna speak for O TA and
like be like say that right, but like I somewhat
understand what he was saying, you know what I mean,
only because it's like where we're growing up, everybody was
saying it like white white kids were saying where I
was growing up with other black kids, and like maybe
some of the black kids didn't like it, but like
nobody was saying nothing. Like for the most part, like

(37:10):
it was it was okay there as kids. Now, as
we grew up and started going into different circles, I
think it was on us to kind of like realize that, yeah, yeah,
I'm not going to make a career saying this.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
On joke stealing. Worre you on joke stealing?

Speaker 2 (37:28):
That's horrible, that's that's words, that's god.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
This kind of split. I've heard people say.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Look, Mexican's haying the N word. It's just a little
bit worse.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
So joke stealing, right, but little city.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Because different people.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Say I didn't even be worse, Like at least what
we're saying the N word, You're not stealing someone's joke,
you know, I.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Think that they didn't work. That's that's that's.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
But in seriousness though, because I've heard different different comedians
say difference, like hold on, if that's not the only joke,
if or tell better jokes. And then there are some
people like Noah, bro, you can't do that. You cannot.
You cannot take someone material and even if you try
to dress it up, even if I'm talking about even

(38:20):
if I'm talking about a bird, you can't come back
and say it was our even though I was talking
about an eagle and have the same premise.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
I think that you're gonna cross premises no matter what
with people.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Because your mind is a lot of like I mean, but.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
You like, if it's like it can it can get
a little like sketchy. He're like, ah, were similar, but
it's a little different. But if it's a little too similar,
like just change it, you know, Like you brought up
the joke I did about aliens earlier. Yeah, there's a
comedian out of Texas, the local guy not trying to

(38:59):
down talk I be like he's not famous, but the
comedian who like showed me where he was, Like first
he tried to I think he tried to say his
joke because the first few words were the same. But
we're saying like, oh, yeah, I believe in aliens, but
like I don't believe in them. But then his joke
goes kind of this way and mine goes that way.
But it was similar enough to where like I never

(39:20):
did the joke again, I took it offline. I'm like,
you know what, it's too similar, right like, Man, I
think I'm creative enough. I could think of something something now,
you know, but I think that if it's like close
enough one thingy'all has to stop doing it. If you're
a good comedian, you're gonna come up with something funnier anyway,
like you know the next joke, but like don't. And

(39:41):
I think older comics fight about that more than nowadays
because now it's like I posted first, I said it first,
you know what I mean? Right like, even because how
do I know, Like if a comic in Ohio has
a joke similar to mine, right but I never heard
his joke and he never posted a joke and I

(40:02):
posted mine, well, like I didn't steal it. We had
a similar joke idea. Maybe right now, if somebody posted
a joke and then I just started doing that joke
work for word, now, that's an obvious stealer. That's Haines
chopped his head off. But back in the day, I
think older comedians struggles with that kind of stuff more

(40:22):
because they used to sell each other jokes. I don't
think people do that in my generation. I think that
was like an old school thing. So people could be like, hey,
you stole that joke for such and such, and they
would be like, nah, I bought it.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
I bought it, right. Have you ever had a joke stolen?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Yeah? Uh, but it was like local and it was
like not even a good joke. I don't even know
how I went, but it's I didn't trip. My buddy
Wes Corwin gave me the best advice on that. He's like, man,
if they're stealing jokes, they're gonna they're gonna run out
of jokes and steal some days, like they're gonna burn out.
But if you wrote a good joke we're stealing, you

(40:57):
got it in you to write another good joke.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Have you right? Do you write for other comedians?

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Nah? But me and know, like if I'm hanging out
the comedians and they want to talk shop and be like, hey,
help me out with this bid I'm working everything. Hell yeah,
I help them writ and they helped me write. Philippa
Sparsa has helped me out right, Like he'll hop on
a phone call with me and help me. Felippe Sparsas
he'll help me like like you know yeah, joking stuff.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Yeah, now that you've made it, how have you been
able to deal with fame?

Speaker 2 (41:27):
I don't think I'm good at whatever level of fame
I have. But I mean, I don't know. I don't
like that people opinion, like have opinions on, like serious
opinions or like serious accusations on me, and they don't
know who I am. They might have seen me on
the video for forty five seconds, and they want to
comment that, like, oh, he probably voted for Trump, or

(41:49):
oh he probably voted for Biden, like I didn't vote,
which is probably worse. I know both. People hate that,
you know what I mean. But I'd rather go I'd
rather get hate for the true thing, get hate for
an assumption.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
But yeah, like I just that's the only part of
fame I don't like is when people just comment real
serious assumptions or accusations. I mean, they don't off of
a video, off of one video, you know what I mean,
the two videos tops Like, man.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
How has it changed your life?

Speaker 2 (42:19):
I don't. When I'm home, I don't leave my house
no more. Really, I don't trust you sometimes, like I
love my fans, I said, like they've given me everything, like,
and I always love anybody who's helped. But at the
same time, man, like, I've read so many ignorant as
comments that sometimes I mean, I'm I'm at a Walmart

(42:44):
and somebody come up to me and be like, hey
you that guy and yeah, and then there's a there's
a lot. It feels even though it might be five
seconds before their next question, it feels like an hour before.
I don't know they're gonna ask me for a picture,
or they're gonna impliment me, or they're going to when
they when they take long to say the next thing,

(43:05):
I'm like, this person has so many questions they want
to ask about so much bullshit I don't want to
talk about, and I'm like, which way, Like what comment
have you left before? Bro? And I almost just want
to walk out and be like you know what I mean.
But they're like and then then other people come up
and they're just like, oh, bro, like you still and
I'm just like, oh, thank God, Like it's such a
relief for them to just say something so quick and

(43:27):
so now and just be gone. Yeah, because other people,
I'm like, what do you want to talk about?

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (43:32):
What is it that you really want.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
To say, how are there dating now that you're famous
and you've got some bread and people know you got bread.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
I think some I think there's been like a couple
of girls here and there that I'm like, I think
they just think I'm rich or maybe you know what
I mean, or other girls think they don't trust me,
they think that I'm not being genuine. They're like, ah,
you just you think because you who you are, to
who you are, you know you probably say this to
other girls. But I also don't even have the patience

(44:05):
for it. Like if they don't they don't believe me,
all right, then.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
You've been on some bad days lately?

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Mm, not really, I haven't really been on any days.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
What would you consider a bad day?

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Consider a bad day when when I meet a girl
who's just kind of like, I don't know, maybe doesn't
take care of her high gene and she's just like
I've been on a date. I've been on a couple
of days where the whole time of girls like can
you do a video for like my cousin, he's a
big fan. I'm like, I'm trying to spaghetti with you,

(44:39):
got saw some of my mouth? I'll do the video
but I'll never call him back for I've never called
him back on a date never again. Wain't ever hanging
out again?

Speaker 3 (44:53):
Uh, you're anti social.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
I mean maybe like two of the you introvert. I'm
an intro naturally. If I once I started getting comfortable
with you, come out, but I started off on zero.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
You know, so let me make your ideal ideal make
ideal date?

Speaker 3 (45:11):
What what is? What is? What do you want.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
An ideal date?

Speaker 4 (45:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Ideal.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
I don't have expectations like that. I feel like I
won't know what the what the what the what the
good date was until after it's done. You know what
I mean? I don't. I don't.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
You don't have you don't have, you don't have a type.
You just like go with the flow whatever, you know.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
The flow?

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah, one time I heard this on the on the
anime to say, you don't know what type of person
you were until right before you die, because you weren't
done living until that point. You know. So like, I
don't know what a good date is until it's done.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Have you ever had a situation where like you said that,
they asked you to take videos or say happy brother,
And I hate that too, don't get on FaceTime?

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Can you can you say a head to my dad?
My dad's a big my brother, Like.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Bro, I almost like I didn't used to like it.
Sometimes they would just run up to you and already,
So I didn't used to like that, and I still
kind of don't. Don't get me wrong, but I actually
prefer that as the word too. When they come up
to you and they ask you like can you do that?
And then let's say You're like okay, yeah, I'll do it,
and they're like okay, let me just call them, and
then they got to unlock their phone and their nerves

(46:22):
and they forget their colde and I'm like, bro, I
gotta got.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Yes, yes, yes. It's like I'm like, man, I.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Don't like I don't hate that necessarily, but it's just
like if you're gonna.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
I mean, if it's if you're not too much.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Yeah, if you're gonna sandbag me, like ambush me with
this FaceTime, at least have the person on there already, bro,
Like we gotta keep it moving.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
You will never go get you never go guess who
I ran into it. You never go guess guess who
he is.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
And then I'm right there like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's
what they ran into me. And you're not gonna tell
me what to say either, and say what I wants
my conversation. One time, this lady pulled up like this
is my dad. I'm like, hey, your daughter is a hord.
You want me to say, I don't know you could

(47:11):
be a hood.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
I should hope you didn't say that. But knowing you
there you a comedian, you can say I'm not. But
but look, I think the biggest thing is is that
I don't mind. You know, sometimes I'm in a hurry.
But it's like when they come up and says, oh,
you're gonna take this picture, Oh you're gonna do this?
What about whatever happened to ask?

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Yeah? Do you do you mind so real quick? Yes?
How you gonna tell.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Somebody they are or I gotta get I gotta get
this picture.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Here's the one that bothers me. Here's the one that
I that I do hate like. This is the one
that I'm like, we do this.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
I do not like you.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Is when somebody calls me out from like a distance
to be like Ralph and I look and Nicole come in,
who bro I'm in the middle of a conversation over
here with somebody and you're like come here, like I'm
gonna be talking with my friends and be like sorry
about this guy. This strangers calling me like the fuck here?

Speaker 3 (48:09):
Bro? Hey, h they call you hey, Shannon, shon you
Shanning Sharp? I said, hey, yeah, what's up? Man?

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Are you Shannon? Yes? Bro?

Speaker 1 (48:20):
You told my name? I turned around and said yeah,
what's up? And then you get close to me and
say you sha.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
People forget that you just like there's another person too, bro,
Like I don't like when people don't believe that. I'm
like me, but you asked me. I had. That happened
on fourth of July. I went to go buy fireworks
and one of the dudes that the character was like, Bro,
he's like, you're round, right. I said yeah, man, He's
like can I get a picture? He was like yeah, bro,
no problem. And his buddy comes up and he's like,

(48:47):
you're round for real? I said yeah. He's like, don't
don't bullshit with me. I'm like okay now and he's like, nah,
but th real, like you roth, I'm like, bro, it's
not my job to convince you round. Like if you
don't believe me, I don't care, like if you believe
me or not. He's like, nah, bro, like proof to
me you're roulth. I'm like, nah, how am I gonna

(49:09):
prove it? Bro? Let me call my mom bring my
birth certificate. Like if you don't believe me, I.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Can hold on. You send girls money? Okash?

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Have I sent girls money on cash up? Nah? Not?
Not like if I not, that's old round, that was
broke crown.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Hold on when do you hope if that's brokeram how
you got bread and send money on cashle brow.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
With sending us the twenty bucks and think he was
doing something. Bet here's some gas money.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
But they're a twenty bus. They gonna cut it now
because they won't they. I mean, I'd be seeing the
list like hair is like four hundred dollars, nails is
like one hundred and fifty dollars, and they're like skincare Like.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
I'm like with damn, I'll be impressed with girls that
do all that. I'm like, did you pay for it
all yourselves? But Noah, I don't be send girl no
money on catch it not unless like if I my
last relationship, I might give her some money here and there,
But I learned my lesson. I learned that I'm into

(50:12):
girls who who like to earn their own money. Now,
if I was to give them a gift or something,
I feel like they appreciate it more because they know
the work that comes behind you, You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (50:25):
Yeah, but I don't.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
My biggest fear is that I'll date a girl who
is just using me for the money and then go
show off, because like, who go show off and be like, Hey,
look he pays for this for me, he pays for
that for me. I don't like that.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
You don't.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
If I pay for something for somebody, I want them
to really.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Appreciate, appreciate it. And it's not for the world, and
it's not for everybody.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
And usually the people who appreciate her are the people
who have their own careers, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (50:52):
Red flag? Who are some of the red flags?

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Mm hmm, they're breathing.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
I just want to know, do you care to share
her name?

Speaker 1 (51:06):
The one that the one that's this one that does
the damage that's made you become so cynical.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
I'm not. I don't know, man, I'm exaggerating a lot
of the cynical stuff. I'm saying here. But it's like
everybody has red flags. I don't know what are some
like major ones. I think maybe some of the major
red flags is like, and look, it's such to say,
because like, if I'm on a day with a girl
and she gives me the chance to sleep with her
on the first night, I'll probably take it. But that's

(51:32):
probably a red flag.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
Right, you know what I mean? Right?

Speaker 2 (51:35):
But it also doesn't it It might not mean she's
a whole Maybe we did just hit her off that night.
But I'm always gonna wonder, like she does with every
good she sleep with every first day, how many first
days has she gone on this one?

Speaker 1 (51:47):
What if she was wondering that about your birthday?

Speaker 2 (51:51):
I probably got tons of red flags.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
You get jealous if someone you're seeing they mentioned something
that they did with their ex, well maybe they went bowlding,
maybe they.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Went wherebe, they went this, or they did that, you
get jealous.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
I don't get jealous, but I would say that, like,
if they keep bringing up their eggs, I'm gonna wonder
if they're trying to get a reaction out of me. Yeah,
And if they're doing that, I'm like, why that's another
red flag? Why do you want to get through react right?

Speaker 3 (52:27):
And why? And if he was so great, why are
you here with me now and not with him?

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Yeah? Go that guy. He sounds amazing. I want to
meet him.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Why why? But you know, but you know what they're
gonna say. If I wanted to be with him, I
would be with him. But I'm here with you. Why
are you so with that? I mean, why are you
so insecure?

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Yeah? Why are you bringing up those memories?

Speaker 3 (52:52):
You don't see me throwing them my well?

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Oh man, oh, he used to cook me bread because
bring me break because says bad. We used to go
watch the movie. We used to hold hands walking on
the beach. You don't want to hear that?

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Yeah, oh, god forbid, I bring up my eggs on
the first date. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Your far You mentioned your father. Obviously you're very close
to your uncle. What type of father are you to
your son?

Speaker 2 (53:16):
I think I'm pretty stern. I feel like when you
have a kid that it is now your responsibility to
make sure that this person doesn't go out into the
world and just become a piece of shit. So I
want to make sure that I'm raising the kid who

(53:38):
can be a good person, who can be a good
member of society who can be respectful to others and
hold his own and you know what I mean. Responsible,
But at the same time, like I got to let
him be a kid. So I think I'm the type
of father who's always in his head. But I'm trying
to have fun with my son. I want him to
have a childhood. I want them to not worry about

(53:59):
adult problems are like problems. He's six right now, so
I'm trying to make sure he can live like a
six year old. But I also try to stay staring
on him and make sure that he's not becoming this
this spoiled Brad's who's developing patterns that because sometimes some
things is like let him get away with that, he's
a kid, But other things it's like, nah, that's a
pattern first as he gets older and he'll never break it,

(54:21):
you know what I mean. So, like, I think I'm
pretty stern but fun.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
You found out your ex was pregnant after you guys
broke up.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
I do you know who you been telling you? You
do talk to my ex fract Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
So when she told you I'm pregnant, did you think
she was telling you that to try to get back
with you.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
No, she's being honest. Yeah, and we're like on and
off because we were young. We're like, you know, twenty
twenty we started dating. We're like eighteen nineteen.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
Now that was your wife and you didn't even know it.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
We you know, we end up getting pregnant whatever, like
twenty twenty one. My son was like, yeah, I was
like twenty two when someone was born on. So we're
just real dumb room mature r toxic for each other maybe. So.
I don't think she wasn't like, oh I'm gonna do

(55:17):
this to get back with them.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
You know.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
It was just it was what it was, and we
dealt with it.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
Right. You put yourself on child support.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Yeah, because she was being difficult. I might have been
being difficult her too, I don't know, but she was
being like extra. She was very emotional. Right, once I
had my son, all my decisions were really about him,
and right, I think a lot of hers were.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
You try to take the emotion out of it. Look,
I understand that.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
You know, Look, it didn't work out between you and
I and whatever the case may be. But in the
best interest of him, let's try to be the best parents.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
We can be.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Although we're not together, but there's something that's never gonna change.
You will always be as mom, I will always be
as dead, and we're gonna have to live. We're gonna
be in each other's life forever.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
We're man for a minute, shoot like a tumor in
my head. But one thing I kept reminding myself is that, like, man,
we're on the same team. Yes, you know what I mean, yes,
which is something I feel like a lot of people
need to remind themselves from the struggling. And some people

(56:29):
were like, man, I don't want to pay no child
support because of the money, where I had no problem
put it in myself. I mainly did it because we're
having a lot of conflict over scheduling and if I
was gonna take my son and not, she didn't want
me to like take them nowhere where It's like, so
I put myself on child support to take the power
out of her hands. And it's like I wanted I

(56:50):
wanted to see my son way more than every other weekend.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
I didn't want to just stick to that, but at
least like this, it was like you you can't say now,
you can't say just because you're mad, right, you know
what I mean. And as far as the money goes,
I think I'm fortunate that my son's mom has never
been irresponsible with money, whether I gave her if I
gave her seven hundred dollars and I said, spend every

(57:15):
time of this only on my son, not for you,
like she will do that and mostly and a lot
of it was out of spite too, because she was like,
I don't want to take your money. You don't got
to support me, hear me, So like I never had
a problem paying, I'll support right.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
How different are you as a dad than your dad
was to you?

Speaker 2 (57:38):
I mean, I don't know. I mean I think we're
different in a lot of ways. My dad was very
stern with My dad didn't like no jokes. My dad
will pick me up and we go to like a
family party, and I will be my usual self like
him at home, say some jokes and my dad would
like raise his hand like he's gonna smag me for
like everything I said it was disrespectful to my like

(58:01):
in my dad's eyes. So like when my son, I
think we joke a little more. I do try to
tell them, like, hey, you don't say stuff like that,
you know, what I mean on certain subjects, But like
I think, for the I think the biggest part is
that like I can joke with my son a little
more and like let them know it's okay to like

(58:23):
speak your mind, where as with my dad, he's like,
you better not be thinking like that, You better not
be joking Like that's god damn, Bet, I better be
a mute.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
I read that you're learning. It's not necessarily your teaching,
but you're learning as your son is learning.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Yeah, for sure. I don't think anybody knows how to
be a parent.

Speaker 3 (58:43):
Right, There ain't no because it varies.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
I mean, everybody write these books or how to be
a parent, or being a parent for dumbies, or whatever
the case may be.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
But you got to you got you got to be
a parent. Yeah, but you.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Got to do your best. Just try to Bet. When
my son asked me questions, why is this?

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Why is that?

Speaker 2 (59:02):
I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. If I
don't know, I'll tell my son I don't know. Let's
let's find that.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
Right.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
You said that when you're trying to ask you a question,
it's like a new employee trying to tell a new
employee what to do.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Yeah, I'm still figuring it out myself. Bro, We'll figure
it out together.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
But so when you get it, what do you guys
like to do together?

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Go to the movies? We go to the movies a lot,
or arcadeskids. But my son is a lot like me.
And the fact when I was growing up, when I
was his age, I was he's the same way. He
loves to be like at home. He don't like to
go nowhere like and listens to the movies right, and
even at that, he don't like to go to the

(59:44):
one that's far. He's like as closed. So like he
loves to be at home. He loves to be in
front of TV and I watch whatever he watches, or
like I make sure he watches what I watch, you
know what I mean. Like, but he loves to be
at home or with the hot wheels. We set up
a little how wheels have little competitions, right, which one
can stand the track along? Stuff like that. Like he's

(01:00:05):
very homebody.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Women like men, kid, you think so he help he
helped you pick up women?

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
I think I think when I like, I don't really
post them now, you know what I mean? Because my
biggest fear that somebody will say something ignorant like responding,
so I don't really post.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
But when you had the movie just you and him
or y'all going to the arcade.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. But like you before, when
I used to post him before I had any fame,
I'll post them.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Girls who well respond to the story and be like
oh this is so cute or like whatever, especially if
it's like you know another like a single mom or something,
you know, feel more comfortable.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
With you, like, yeah, well you know, we all to
get together. You don't have our kids.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
And stuff like that. Yeah, but write that one my
son hated. My son hated it, really hated that other kid.
I dated a girl for like two months and she
had a kid. Her kid was cool, but like, man,
my son hated that. He would tell me, he's like
if I don't want to hang out with them.

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
He likes being the only child.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
Yeah, he has a two sisters, right, his mom mom
had two more kids after him, and so like he's
cool to his sisters, you know, but like, yeah, he
has a lot of only child syndrome.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
Nah, it ain't Dady, Hugh. He wants all this time
to be with you, he does.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Yeah, he does like that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
That's what that is.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
Because you said he doesn't have a problem with his
other siblings, but his other siblings are not around.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
When he's with you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
Yeah, this is me and he good.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
He don't want he wants your undivided attention.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
Yeah, which I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Good luck getting married, having a girlfriend, having another kid,
Good luck with dad.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
We'll see how it goes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Are you type one diabetic? Yeah? When did you realize
you have it? It was like six really, so you
had you with not diabetes?

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Yeah? Yeah, that was to say it like that, Drew.
That sounds like I was like a bad killeric and
he don't know how to act. He dyamatic and he steals.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
I guess kid diabetes with it? So how have you had?
I mean, how did that impact you as a child?

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Man? I think that made me feel weird a lot,
you know what I mean? Like I didn't want other
kids to know or to ask me about it, but
they would because like every grade, pretty much ten minutes
before whatever our lunchtime was, I would have to go
to the nurse's office to like check my sugar and

(01:02:36):
take inso them and so kids like I would hate it.
I would be like on the edge because I would
hate it. I was just anticipating the day that one
of my classmate be like, why do you leave early?

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
Yeah, I have to.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Tell them now, But for the most part they will
be like, oh okay. Then you know, they wouldn't really
ask too much about it. But yeah, I definitely felt
like a little a little weird in some classes. As
I got older, I got over it, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
Were there certain things that you couldn't eat because it
would drop your insulin level or.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
It was like it was spike it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
I have to learn to like, I have to be
very like I have to know my body and how
it reactions, so I have to feel a lot Like
I could feel it with my sugars get it low,
I could feel when it's getting higher. Some diabetics can't
feel it right and some can. Like I'm very sensitive
to it, so like, Yeah, there'll be times where we're
at school and like they're doing a pizza party with

(01:03:33):
snacks and cupcakes and everything, and they'd be like, my
cheating the cocake and I'll be like, oh, I just don't.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
Want one, and you really walk well.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Yeah, Or there'll be other times where I'm meeting one
and one of the kids that already knows some diabetics.
He's just looking out for me, but now he putting
me on the spikes, like you can't eat that, don't
let him meet that. I was like, let me get
away with a coutcake.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
So you have so you have one of those those
things on that you check with your phone and you
check it over.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Now I'm trying to get one, but I got this
ship the insurance. Right now I can't even get in
the damn appointment with the doctor. But anyway, I'm working
on that right now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
So but I'm trying to think, is there a lot
of sweets in a in a Hispanic.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
Diet man, there's a lot of lard and flour and milk.
And so I was thinking, like, Histanic diet is designed
to give you high blood sugar and high blood pressure.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
But does anybody else have diabetes in your family?

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
So that's kind of a funny story. So my grandpa
was a old school type man. What that means is,
you know, he used to cheat on my grandma in
a lot. And so I have an uncle that my
mom found I think on Facebook maybe, So it's like her.
What do they call it? Estrange brother? Like, yes, he

(01:04:55):
was raised by his mom. My grandpa cited you, so
that uncle well was the only other relative with diabetes.
My mom has it now, but she didn't get it
to it like a adulhood. And I think my uncle
did too, but like I was the only one. Everybody
was like, how did he get diabetes? Like, no, there's
no family history of it. And then we found out
that it's on my grandpa's side. We found out through

(01:05:15):
his bastard children.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
Uh, you mentioned your one of your friends, Kim Flores.
He died at the age of twenty eight of cardiac
arrest when you received that call.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
It's horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
Twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
We're the same age, me, Ken, and Renee. Okay, we
I mean there was I feel like there was something
special about the three of us, just because we were
three Hispanic comedians, the exact same age, all three born
in ninety six. Ken was from Chicago, Chicago, and then
later on moved to Aurora. So he's from Chicago area.

(01:05:54):
Moved to a rural Colorado Ken did. Yeah, Kim moved
there when he was a kid from Chicago, which is
what I mean. Actually do the same maybe not to them,
you know, but for outsiders, I'm like, it's our Chicago,
yeah right, and Renee being from California, from like La Area,
being from Texas, even though we're from three different parts

(01:06:15):
of the MAP, I felt like we all come from
like this similar background. We all grew up Mexican as hell,
you know, probably crazy ass families, a little traumatic, but
we all grew up with the same dream and we
started popping off around the same time, and so I
feel like that really brought us closer together. So yeah,

(01:06:36):
it sucked.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
When I got that call, I was immediately worried about
Renee because Renee and can we super super closed touring
together all the time, and I was on Alcatraz, I
went on that tour I had been on in San Francisco.
I love going to San Francisco.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
Shout out to oh, I thought you was.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
I thought you was talking about the immigration thing that
they're talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
No, no, no, I wasn't the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
Yeah, I was like, how did you get on that?

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
This was back in January and I had just did
a set with Renee ken like not even a whole
week before. Me and Renee Kim were working on a
tour together. Were working all the details to tour together,
and they, you know, our agents, our managers routed, had

(01:07:26):
this whole route, the schedule, all the details, all the commissions,
everything right. And the day that we're supposed to like
sign off, like the three of us each put our
signature on there. The tours set was the day that
we heard Ken pass and it sucked. I remember I

(01:07:49):
was in San Francisco and I got and I got
off the Zoom meeting with some people from FX because
they saw me. They came to my show in La.
I did a pop up show in La. I had
just filmed the Hulu special. I filmed the Hulu special.
The next day, I go to La just to hang

(01:08:09):
out and start working on new material. And I booked
this show right there in La. And Rene comes and
he brings Ken, and I'm like hey, I told both
of them. I was like, I'm gonna go on stage
for like ten fifteen minutes and then I'm gonna bring
you out on stage. And they're like, nah, Nah, it's
your show, bro. We just came to record and hang out,
and I was like, nah, y'all are here, like y'all

(01:08:30):
have to like y'all have no options, right, So we
go on stage. We end up doing like an hour
and a half, getting drunk on stage, bullshitting with the audience,
you know what I mean. And there's a moment it's
like it was like something out of a movie. Everything's
so dramatic because there's like a moment we're on stage
and me and there talking about how much we love

(01:08:52):
can We're sandwiching here, we're hugging, like you know. And
a few days later, I'm in San Francisco and I
have an fax. The people from Fax, the executives were
at that show. I forgot they were at that show.
I'm like, man, they heard us say so much stupid.
I was like, you probably didn't even like it. So

(01:09:14):
a few days later, I'm in San Francisco and we're
in this email talking about how like, hey, like, we
need you all to sign off on the tour days
like as soon as if y'all like it, because me,
Ken and Renee agreed that like nothing can be like
nothing can move forward until the three of us talk
and agree on it. So they're like, hey, did y'all

(01:09:36):
talk about it yet?

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
They I like it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
I'm like, I talked to Renee, but I talked to
kan Yea, I'm gonna talk to him later today, like
we'll see you know, so right back that email, like yeah,
I'm gona talk to them. I don't worry about it.
Then I hop on the zoom call with the people
from f Fax and they're like, man, They're like, you know,
they start off with the basic conversation, how'd you get

(01:09:57):
into comedy? Do you want to write with her? And
and then they kind of switch gears and they're like hey,
they're like you and Rene and can on stage like
that was really funny, Like that was hilarious. They're like,
do you guys want to work more together? Like what
do y'all got planned? And I'm like, man, we're about
to go on tour together, Like we're about to sign
off on that ship. We're about to go on tour together.
They're like, would you ever want to make a movie?

(01:10:18):
Write a show? And you know, when a comedian has
its own show, it takes a lot of work. It's
a lot of writing, months and years of writing and
yes's and no's here and there, you know what I mean?
And that I remember that lady straight up, she hadn't
cussed the whole zoom call. I was afraid to cuss
because you know, so like profession, but she started to cutting.
She was like, y'all were funny. She was like, if

(01:10:40):
y'all ever wanted to make a show, y'all just write it.
I'll make that shit happen. And I was like, damn,
Like I had no interest in writing the show, but
I know Renee likes that stuff. I was like, I'm
gonna tell them, like maybe they'll want to do that shit.
We'll see, and so I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna talk
to them later today. I was like, today we have
a meeting, So like I'm gonna talk to them, and yeah, man,
I go to kill time. I go do that Alcatrasz

(01:11:02):
tour later in that day. I always like that tour.
I've been on it like three times. And I get
the car as the tour is over, like I'm waiting
for the boat to come back to take it back,
and I get the call about Ken and man, it
felt like that boat was never going to arrive. Like
I just felt like I'm sitting on this stupid ass
island like I don't even want to be there, but
I also don't even know where to be, Like I
don't know what to do, and yeah, like I'm not

(01:11:26):
making none of this up. This is like it sounds dramatic,
but I remember just sitting on that boat on the
way back to San Francisco and I see these three
see like seagulls flying following the boat, and then one
of them just goes off and then two goes this way,
and she just made me burst into tears. Man Like,
but Ken was so cool. It's so funny. Like I

(01:11:46):
have to remember, and I know Rene feels the same way,
like I have to. Even though we're sad he's gone,
I have to just focus on the time we did
get with him and like be grateful for what we
had with him, right, you know. And his parents are
so cool. I met his parents. I didn't mean his
sperience to after you passed away, but they're very positive
and mom was always smiling. And his mom came out

(01:12:09):
on stage and just awesome. She was mass She was
so cool. His family is so cool. Everybody that I've
met that was a part of his team is just
he had. He had the best people around them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
Transitioning talk about hookers, No, the relationship between your community
and my community. It seems to be differing of opinions.
Some says it's okay, some says it's not. We see
right now what's going on with the mass deportation, and
they're like, uh, well, we need our black brothers, which

(01:12:45):
is people to look like me, to be supportive.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
I think that's up to each individual, right me. This
is my personal opinion. I'm not saying like this is
how people need to think or a nothing like that. Personally,
I feel like, and again I cannot emphasize this enough.
This is this is an opinion of a comedian who
makes stupid juvenile diabetes jokes. Don't take me too serious.

(01:13:15):
You'll be crucifying me for my stupid as little opinions.
I don't think that just just because you're of a cutler,
you're obligated to support one person or another. I've met
black Republicans, i'd black liberals like worth support who you
want to support, you know what I mean. I remember

(01:13:37):
like when the Black Lives Matter protests were going on,
It's like if you kind of stayed silent, it kind
of kind of look bad. You know, it sucked, you
know what I mean? And like not that I was
out there protesting, but I do feel I know, I
know who I was in support of and like what
I was doing to support, you know what I mean.
But now that now that it's like this, it's like

(01:14:00):
I don't think because you're black, we need you to support,
but I think, hey, if you really are a supporter
of like what's going on with with like us in
our situation, like whether you're black, Chinese, whatever, like white
people are like I like to see it. I appreciate
it from when I see it, but I do think

(01:14:21):
it's a little like when I see like black people
be like man deport them. I'm just like, damn, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
Well, I think I look at it like this, you
got what you're voted for. If somebody tells you this
is what I'm going to do, you can't be surprised
when they do what they said.

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
They ran on that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
Yeah, And I'm not going to sit here and be
mad at like a black person who's supporting Trump, cause
it's like I'm not going to see him be like bro,
but you're black, you got to understand me, Like Noah,
like I got I don't know, it's Mexican like you've
seen it, especially in Texas, there's so many Mexican Trump supporters,
and that that really has my mind.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
Bob.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
I'm like, you know what he's like said, he's gonna
do it. It's gonna break up families and X, Y
and Z.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
Yeah. And I don't like I mean, I mean, I
don't care, like I'm saying, like, I don't care if
you I don't care what race you are, support who
you want to support.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
The only one that does like confuse me is when
when Mexicans are so hard on the border laws, like bro,
like we we didn't get here four hundred years ago.
A lot of a lot of our people are just

(01:15:37):
immigrated here, like you've been here like a generation, and
you already want to close the borders. Like, Bro, that's
like if you just walked in the club, You're like,
y'all should close now.

Speaker 1 (01:15:46):
I'm here, Yeah, let to have up here, So I
take I pulled the ladder out the way that way,
you ay.

Speaker 3 (01:15:51):
I'm here?

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
What makes you so special? Bro?

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
Se, I get what you're saying. I totally understand.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
I told you that's why when Mexicans when there goes
super Republican, that's why I'm like, that's the only time
I'm confure everybody else, I'm like, all right, do you
I'm sure you have your reading.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
I get what you're saying. What can they expect on
the Hulu special?

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
A whole lot of Tomfoolery, jokes, personal stories, some observations,
some opinions. I think you can expect to laugh. I
think you can expect to laugh. My my Netflix special,
Bargata gave me some good advice. He's like, hey, put
all your best jokes out there, and the pressure to

(01:16:31):
need more jokes is gonna make you write more jokes.
So that's that's what I did on my Netflix. That's
what I did on my Hulu. Personally, I might catch
some backlashers saying this. I think I think I like
the jokes on my Hulu one better. Really yeah, Because
my Netflix one, I was still so nervous. I was

(01:16:54):
still getting used to having the following my Hulu one.
I feel like I got to go back to just
being my normal suit. I was like the person who
I am. It took me a while to like be
comfortable being that on camera. So when I got on Netflix,
I'm like, I want to show them this because I

(01:17:15):
want them to know I'm this. I don't want them
to know I'm that on Hulu. I'm like, look, bro,
this is just me like this.

Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
Who what you see is what you get what you see.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
So like my Hulu special, I'm a little more comfortable
with it. I don't know how much y'all going to
respond to it. I think it's better than my first one. Wow,
So I hope y'all enjoy it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:34):
Why do you want to be buried in pajamas?

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
Because I never I never walked around in suits.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
I mean, what about you know, cause you know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:47):
And a t I don't know. My biggest fear is
that the afterlife you have to wear the clothes you
were buried in, whether I'm in like heaven or hell.
I just want to be comfortable.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
You also said babies should be made to wear suits
at the beginning because first impression is everything.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
Well, I mean a little like if I go to
the hospital to see the newborn baby, it needs to
be an impression baby, so he looks a little double
breasted suit. Welcome to the world, kids, and you started kid.

Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
Oh bad rap barbosa. Thank you bro, appreciate.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Your dad, Thank you for having me. Yeah, big hands, yep,
catch football.

Speaker 4 (01:18:34):
All my life, grinding all my life, sacrifice, hustle price
Wanta Slice got the Brother Swap all my life. I
been grinding all my life, all my life, grinding all
my life, sacrifice, hustle back price one Slice got the
Brother Swap all my life. I'd been grinding all my life.
