You go past that certain hour mark, you're gonna pay union fees and

(00:44):
last time Ga Gacias, Whom's thelast time you stole something? Oh?
Does candy count? Yes? Well? And I don't even know if it's
stealing more so than like I sawit like on a table in a like
like no one there was no nameon it, just like no one's gonna
eat that snickers. I'm looking around. I don't know. I don't know

(01:07):
if it's like a plant, likemaybe somebody is recording it, like we
got it. But yeah, itwas just a candy bar on the table,
just okay, and there was nobodythere to ask. You never walked
out with like a monitor from oneof the venues or anything like that.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, here we go, Here
we go. So you said lasttime, the last thing I saw was
a candy bar. That was justroom. And I don't even know if
that's still but it wasn't mine.So they took see how God works.

(01:30):
It was right there, all right. So there was this venue in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, and the green room thatthey provided for us was very nostalgic
looking like it didn't look like anyregular green rooms. Most green rooms are
just basic, you know, it'sbasic couch, it just no pillows.
It's just a dry room and thenhere's your whatever, your sodas or waters
and stuff. But this room waspimped out, really nice. And I

(01:52):
remember when I sat on the couch, there was these real cool fuzzy pillows
and I'm like, oh, thesepillows are so freaking cool. And I
kept like I was patting the pillow. I was patting the pillow because yeah,
for real, it's like it likeyou pet it, and it's just
like, oh my god, theseare so cool, you know. And
I remember at the end of thenight, the lady who's in charge of
the talent backstage, she goes,is everything okay, I go, yeah,

(02:15):
you got some cool stuff back here. She goes, well, you
know, okay, she goes,well, you're welcome to whatever you like.
And I took that as like,go ahead and steal these pillows because
I kept saying, oh, thanksfor all the sodas and the waters and
everything, and you know, we'lltake whatever you like. And I'm like,
oh, you said that to thewrong So I still have the pillows.

(02:36):
I took the pillows and they're inmy conference room. And so since
then, I went back to thatsame venue and I got drunk that night
and I saw the entertainment person andI said, I have a confession,
and I told her, I said, just want your nice still the pillows.
Last time I was year, Itook the pillows and she's like,
oh my god. We were wonderingwhat happened, and that was me.

(02:58):
I'm sorry I took him. I'msorry if you need me to pay for
them. She goes, no,that's hysterical, blah blah blah. And
then she winds up bringing me towels. She goes, we got these towels,
and before you steal them, youcould have them. And I was
like, oh my god, itso mean. It's the running job.
Most of my towels at the housecome from other place, they say Hilton
or again. And if you knowhow to do a tuck and so you
won't see the hill room was thelast time you went grocery shopping? Last

(03:21):
time I went grocery shopping? MI really gotta think about that one.
I don't, and mainly because ofCOVID. COVID's what killed everything, because
you know, I didn't I didn'twant to go out. I wasn't sure,
like you know, I wasn't surewho was gonna get sick, who
wasn't gonna get sick, Who's gonnadie from this, who's not gonna die
from this? So all of mythings that I got were from my my

(03:42):
staff. My staff would go outand go shopping. They're like, okay,
Gabe needs cheese, he needs heneeds soda, he needs water,
very basic, you know, Andso I don't. I wouldn't go out.
So I haven't been to an actuallike grocery store. And sometime,
man, I go, I goto more gas stations than grocery stores.
Gonna go to get shopping in oneday. Together, we're gonna go shut

(04:02):
it down, Go shut it down, Go go hit a grocery warehouse.
We're gonna hit a COVID trader.Oh, I missed Costcosco. Costco is
always the best show up. It'slike a nightclub, show your idea,
you're good, you know, andthen first thing you see is electronics,
TVs and stuff over here. Andthen they have like the outdoor furniture.

(04:25):
And then for some reason, outdoorfurniture at Costco is so comfortable. I
just sit in chairs and I'm like, this is the rest of you know,
my life, you know, mylife. When was the last time
you went to the DMV Oh,I want to say that was about three
three maybe four years. It wasdefinitely before COVID to take my son to
go get his UH to go takehis driving test to get his license,

(04:49):
and so that was for him,We don't know it was for him.
But while I was there, youknow, they gave me a little bit
of a concierge service at the DNB. So I get to go through the
backdoor. Yeah, I do allmy tests and everything. He was like,
I would like to register these fiftyv you bust. We have a
we have a guy for that.Yeah. When was the last time you

(05:11):
got pulled over by the authorities?Oh? Okay. So I was on
my way to six Flags. Iwas on my way to six Flags Magic
Mountain with my son and his friends, and I had just bought a Tesla
and I was trying to show themhow how how much torque and how fast
the tesla was. This before everyoneknew like, oh, electric cards were
the fastest things out there off theline, and so I gunned it and

(05:32):
I didn't see the cop and washit was chp. But then I started
getting all cocky because when we stopped, I saw the officer get out and
it was like this young, likeyoung Latino looking dude, and I go,
my damn, oh I got thisguy. Yeah, watch watch,
don't worry, guys, We'll getout of this. And then it gets
to the window and I'm like Iturned on the extra fluffy. I'm like,

(05:55):
hi, yeah, I'm smiling bigtrying to get the dimples coming out,
and he's like license of registration.I'm like, oh, here you
go with two tickets and you'll getit right now. He'll get it right
now. And the dude would notwould not acknowledge there was me Iglesias on
your license? Is that that's yeah? Yeah? No, no, no

(06:16):
no, And I feel out nowthat I need to show it. So
he did not acknowledge that it wasme, and then I didn't want to
say. The last thing I wantto say is you know who I am?
Right, I don't want you gotto have people in the car.
They do that. I was tryingto show up to my son's friends,

(06:39):
and I think that that is HPgood luck on that. I remember one
time I got pulled over and Igot the ticket and when she was handing
it back to me, she said, I love your show. I listen
all the time, but gave methe ticket and I was like, all
right, there it is. Butwhen I left off all you're using that

(07:00):
red button into mind. Amen,that is crazy. All right, When
was the last time you got starstruck? Oh? Let's see, when
did I get excited? I sawso many recent Can I have that raid?
Card right now, I don't quiteknow what interesting it's a it's a
Bank of America ATM card. Youreally don't. So my business manager has

(07:24):
been trying to get me to closethis account for about ten years now.
This is my original bank account thatI opened up before I got into comedy,
and this is when I still havemy day job at the cell phone
company. And you know, I'vesince then got businessman. You know,
she's opened up different accounts for differentyou know, entities and stuff like that,
but I've always kept this one becauseI told her, I said,

(07:46):
I don't know how much I haveany other accounts I go, but I
know if the world ends tomorrow,I know exactly how much to live off
of I can go pull out thissixteen thousand dollars I got, just take
of American account like I know I'mdoing because you know, I tell people
that that's all money. That's oldmoney from when I still had my normal
day job. That money that's inthere came from that job that I hadn't
touched and I just saved it upand saved it up and saved it up.

(08:09):
So this is I keep that withme just in case you're not You're
not gonna I never really, Inever know. I will never close that
acount, even though she wants meto, and I'm like, hm,
give it to me. I doit for you, man, And we
did that. I love to saywe yes, yes, we hey man.
Let me tell you when you didDodger Stadium, Bro, when you
first announced it, that was notI know that was a win for you,

(08:31):
but there were so many people,so many of us that felt that
win as well. Could you tellhow many people were proud of you for
the hard work and what you wereable to do at Stay not Stayble at
Dodger Stadium. Uh. You know, walking out on that stage that night,
I knew that I was gonna getlike emotional and worked up because of

(08:52):
you know what it was and everythingthat went into that. But they got
me in the first thirty seconds.They made me cry in the first thirty
seconds because just the way, youknow, the energy and just it felt
like a huge homecoming. It feltlike like you said, we did it.
And that's the first thing I said, we did it because I know
that something like that is not somethingone person can pull off. That took
years of just you know, showsand relationships, and just growing to get

(09:16):
to that point. And I feltlike it was a victory for everybody,
like you know because even at theend when it when it was over,
nobody left. I stayed on thatstage and hung out and partied for like
a came here. Yeah, justleft, amen. But it was just
I'm telling you, man, likeI love watching. First off, thank
you for allowing me to get onstage as well, and that that was

(09:39):
huge for me just being from laand this is your moment and you're sharing
that moment with so many of usand being able. And it's crazy because
I tried to do like around thecorner like peak to see what it looked
like. But you never knew whatit looked like until you started walking down
that catwalk and thousands of pun isupon thousands of people there. And I'm

(10:01):
talking about from eight to eighty noteven eight years, eight months. It
was little babies. But can youspending on where you were in the state
and there were babies being made?Yeah, could you see that? Could
you see what was going on fromwhere you were standing when you were doing
your show? From where I wasstanding, I could see the you know,
the Dodger's name in the very back, and I'm just like, wow,

(10:22):
you see dots and specs, andit's it's insane to know that,
like, yeah, those are peoplea man as a kid just being in
La No matter how many games youwent to, you go to baseball games,
you know, but it's crazy thatso many tens of thousands of people
got dressed like you were on theircalendar. That was an event that people

(10:46):
wanted to go to. And that'sright at the house. Do you get
a hotel or do you come fromthe house. No, Well, we
had a tour bus. We hada whole basically the parking lot where the
pavilions. Behind the pavilion turned intoour stage area. So we had a
bunch of tour buses, and wehad a VIP area, We had a
you know, just the holding areafor all the crew that was involved in

(11:07):
the making of that. So mostof the time I just spent on the
bus. I was there the wholeday. Yeah, So there was no
hotel room. We just stayed there, you know, damn bro. And
you can tell man, the cateringin the back that had to be handpicked.
Oh man, it was you guyswere moaning. You made it worth
it. Man, let me tellyou, man, we were so tacky

(11:28):
by the food that you had backthere, Bro, And I was I
was like, man, this washand picked. Everything back there was delicious
and amazing. And we stayed backthere. We love you, oh yeah,
but we stayed back there for hours, Bro. Hours. What did
you have back there? Uh?Well, I know that we had a
special VIP area where you know,some of the food you're talking about,

(11:52):
I want to say, like athere was like four different kinds of thackles.
There was a corn station so ifyou want a corn in the cup,
and then there was corn in thecup that's pimped out, so that
if you wanted, like uh,you know, crush the fuckeys or or
hot cheetos in your corn or youknow. And then yeah, we had
a bit station. We had apastor station, like I mean, we
we we went hard and all thedifferent waters. And say, Man,

(12:13):
I remind my doctor, he's heidwhere were you at? You told me
doctor, I was there that night. I was there that night. I
was there. So now, Man, when we talk about a great live
show at Dodger Stadium, and noweveryone get a chance to see it,
Bro, not just the ones thatwere there, but we get a chance
to watch it and say, hey, we were there at our house watching

(12:35):
is because now it's on Netflix.I think that was one of the greatest
things is that people that were thereare always going to be connected to that.
Yes, and even though that nightthe show went crazy long, I
want to say, I mean thefine, I gotta have a go fund
me for the fine. Yeah,it's gonna keep me busy. Uh yeah.
The Dodger Stadium is no joke.You go past that certain hour mark,

(12:56):
you're gonna pay union fees and it'sit's pretty bad. Ask you what
did you pay? I know youot six figures over a hundred. Oh
yes, for us, I wouldhave been like, hey man, I
gotta go. Yeah, look atthe as soon as they flashed like me
once, I've been all right,thank you guys. And if it would
have been any other night, thatwould have been the case. Like that

(13:18):
was one time I did a showin New York. I was at Radio
City Music Hall and they told methat if you go past a certain time,
it's twenty five thousand dollars automatically oneminute over that one minute, and
so I remember my tour manager runsout on the stage and he goes,
you got thirty seconds to get offor pay twenty five thousand. It's on
you. And I'm like, thankyou, good mid joke, mid joke.

(13:41):
But I think that the crowd heardthough, because I'd already gone over
my set like two hours and thecrowd got the show, but they heard
my tour manager say that, andI'm like, I'm sorry, I love
you, but you know, Igot a I got a car to pay
for. I love that. It'slike and then all right, thank you,
but the crowd understand and you yougave everything. But what does it
look like now on Netflix? What'syour total running time? Because when we

(14:05):
saw it live it was six days, you know what I'm saying. And
how long is the actual netfi?Yeah, the show there that night was
first of all, I think wewere supposed to start at seven o'clock,
and then there was opening acts andwe had some special guests, and then
by the time I hit the stage, I want to say, it was
close to nine, so it wasalready like two hours in. We started
late, and then by the timethe full running time of my set was

(14:28):
close to three hours from the timethat I hit the stage the time that
I got off the stage. Soit got cut from almost three hours to
an hour and fifty five minutes,so almost two hours. So already it's
still the longest, you know,the longest special Netflix has put out.
But yeah, we had to trimoff the celebration part. Were you nervous,
I'm nervous, not for my set. I was not nervous, like,

(14:50):
oh I hope I perform okay.I was more nervous is the equipment
gonna work? Okay? Because thisis not my regular show. It's not
the regular equipment that I take onthe road for the arena shows. It's
not my crew, it's not youknow, this is a stadium crew.
It's a lot of people that arebeing brought in for this, and a
lot of them are working on youknow, every stadium shows different, So
whether it's Lady Gaga or whether it'syou know whoever, you know, every

(15:11):
show is different. And so yougot to trust that the people you put
in charge to make this happen aregoing to deliver. So you got to
worry about the sound, the lightbecause of how big it is, and
then the stage. It's a massivestage, like even the people that produced
the special. They had only workedon one other you know special that was
of that size, and that's KevinHarts. And I was there for Kevin

(15:33):
Harts, and I remember he's havingissues with this. He's having his because
I was always watching from a technicaland like one thing that you will never
have in an arena that you haveat a stadium is delay towers, So
you need like special speakers for thehello Hello. I was going to ask
you about that. Wait wait,wait wait, I was going to ask

(15:54):
you to do the sound or dothe jokes hit different? No, actually
everything was right on, all onthe money, and that's thanks to the
you know you. You got tohave a good group, otherwise you got
like a hundred karaoke machines in there. And does it feel different in front
of let's say, improv ice house? And I know it does feel different

(16:15):
to where you're walking out. Isthe timing different when you're in front of
you know what? What? Didyou had a night? Sixty seventy?
That night it was over fifty okay, so over is it timing different for
over fifty thousand people? It isdifferent? Because I was at the improv
on Melrose Monday night to kind ofjust do it like a last this is
the last show before the special comesout, and I wanted to do something

(16:36):
intimate, and I was actually moreintimidated at that improv because people are right
on you. You know, thestage is tiny, and then everyone's in
the room and it's like you canhear every little thing in the room.
And it had been a minute beforeI've you know, since I've done a
show like that. How do youprep for Dodger Stadium though, with everything
being so wide, and are youmore broad or is it more stage to
cover? Like not you do aarenas, but there's a difference between an

(17:03):
arena and that stadium. So myidea was, instead of feeling lost on
this massive stage, I wanted tohave a large stage that everyone can see,
but I wanted to have a smaller, more intimate platform. So what
I did was I had this thrustbuilt so that it kept me in this
little, confined area. So thatthrust that I had for that stadium show
was actually the normal size thrust thatI perform on at arenas. It's you

(17:27):
know, I forget the dimensions,but it's basically like a two small cars,
you know, Like I want tosay its twenty four feet Could you
see people smiling and laughing? Canyou see that? Yes? D Yeah,
do you ever wish that it would? We know it's you, but
do you ever wish you could bein the audience and seeing what was coming
next? Well, that's when Ihave to go and watch it on you

(17:48):
know, Netflix. But it's crazyto watch myself because then I'm hearing myself.
It's one thing to hear myself asI'm talking, but it's different when
I'm just quiet and then I'm hearing. Do you watch a lot of your
shows? I try not to.Yeah, if it's a uh, like
when people ask me, what's yourwriting process? Like, I don't sit
and write material out. I've neverbeen able to do that. I have

(18:10):
not. None of my specials haveever been put pen to paper. Nothing
I do is in writing process.Yeah, it's all audio. So what
about because you got decades orders?Man, come on school radio, check
what it called not not TD KateTandy they had those case or the damn

(18:33):
Sangio or you know. Uh.And then also there was a point in
time when I had invested and gotmyself a mini camcorder and I would just
set up the little tripod in theback of the club, and I would
record and I go back and watchit because I'm more visual and audio,
whereas trying to write or or youknow, read something out it's it's very
challenging for me. I'm not illiterate, it's just my attention span and just

(18:55):
it becomes work. So one interestingfact, I've never in my life been
able to finish a book. I'venever been able to read a book from
beginning to end. I just cannotstick with it. I give up.
I'll get maybe into a chapter.Wow. So I'm really good at reading
articles, anything on the phone,anything that's quick, no problem. But
something that requires me to invest timeand just commit to it. I love

(19:15):
reading books. So like anytime Iwould do sitcoms, you know, you
have to read the whole the wholescript. And so the only reason I'm
able to get through it is becauseyour table reads. Not even that,
not even that, but because it'sa table read, and so everyone's involved
in their parts. So then itsays it's a moment where it's like,
okay, all right, I'm justwaiting for my part. Okay, okay,

(19:36):
So I'm just listening to everything that'sgoing on, But to actually sit
and read it, it's it takesme a while to get through it.
I just don't have the attention spandeven if it's about me, which something's
up there? Have you read haveyou written the Gabrielesia's book yet? No?
Well no, that's if people keepasking. I'm like, I don't
even have attention for me. Igave up me at the beginning, Like,

(20:00):
can you imagine reading a book?No more? He just stopped writing,
he stopping. I've been offered afew book deals, and it just
it didn't make sense. I don'tfeel like I've had enough drama in my
life to have a book. Idon't know. I feel like Mexicans we
need more drama, you know,like something that happened and then they try
to kidnap them and then you know, I'm just I'm just now starting little

(20:21):
things. You set a lot ofthat up. Also, it's crazy out
here. It's crazy, you know, it's definitely crazy out here. Believe
that. Man, do you havean embarrassing moment anytime in your career or
off the stage. Oh, there'sbeen a few. I remember one time
I was on stage in Houston,Texas in the round. Then you at
the I want to say it's calledlike the Verizon Theater. It's it's it's

(20:42):
basically it's it's around, it's aroundstage and everything you're rotating. It was
one of them. It was oneof those where they have the button where
they can make it spada, soyou're like a turntable or it's static,
you know. And I was doingthis bit about being on roller coasters,
and I went and I squatted downto pretend I was getting inside of a
roller coaster, and my shorts split. And it wasn't like a It wasn't

(21:03):
like a It was more like apop and so pop like a biscuit and
so like you know when you openup those Pillsbury those cans, when when
it's tight, and then it's nottight and it's just like whoa, it's
just going everywhere. That's that's whathappened at night. Oh man. Fortunately
that was before cell phones and therecordings and stuff like that all those years
ago. But everyone saw and soI'm like, wow, do you bring

(21:26):
extra shorts now? Oh? Wellyeah, I mean back then it was
more so like a one night orlike, hey, we had a show
in Houston. So I take abackpack, and you know, I'm not
gonna lie. I didn't take anextra pair of shorts them, you know,
if it's as if it's underwear orsocks or you know, something like
that, and to take multipleites.But I'll tell you why. I because
at one point, and you know, g I was over five hundred pounds,

(21:48):
right, So when I would travel, I would literally go to the
carrousale for baggage and I would standthere and wait for my baggage to come
because there was no way in theworld I was going to go buy another
pair of size sixty four shorts.You know what I'm saying. When your
shorts pop and you don't have another, it's not like you could just go
to what like one of you,Hey, give me, give me your

(22:11):
shorts. I gotta go out andfinish your show. It's like I'm here,
yeah, and I'm and I'm stuck. Yeah. And I was stuck
in those shorts for the rest ofthe night. I just had to walk
tight. Yeah. How long wasthis set? After? Oh? The
set it ended very quickly. Rightafter that, I'm like, oh yeah,
because I mean people were laughing fora different reason, and it's hard
to follow laughter from when you're beingembarrassed versus you're trying to be funny,

(22:33):
because it was nothing I could saythat was going to be funnier than the
fact that, you know, heyman, fluffy shorts exploded and you saw
parts of him you didn't think existed. You know, do you give people
that come up to you and say, I was I take that back,
I take that back. There's hasbeen a few people that have come up
to me in Houston and other partsof Texas that said, I was there

(22:55):
at the show where you split yourshorts, And I'm like, oh yeah,
You're like, you don't have approve. Yeah, no, but there's
no there was no proof. Isit different now that and you have a
no record policy at your shows orso? Here's how it works too,
Is that like that night, Iknew for a fact that at Dodger Stadium
there was no Normally we have likewe'll say please those a video that plays

(23:18):
it says please, you know,try to be in the moment, live
in the moment, no recording,no videos. It's disturbing to the crowd,
it's disturbing to the show. Justtry to enjoy the show. And
people are usually I'd say like ninetypercent are very mindful and really cool with
that. And that's why at theend of the show, I say,
hey, the show's over, takeyour cameras out. I'll stay on stage,
take whatever pictures, whatever videos,and then I'll start posing and pointing
and stuff so that there's you know, footage. Yeah, but for how

(23:41):
do you control fifty thousand people?You know, I'm not going to take
their phones and make that a securityissue. Plus, as it is,
how long would it take to puteveryone's phone in a bag, you know,
in and out? So I knew. I knew from the moment I
hit the stage, this set isalready out there. Someone's recording this and
putting it live. It's got tobe on a was on Facebook lives without
everybody's got the phone's out, andso I just knew that, Ay,

(24:04):
all right, whatever happens happens,you know. So I guarantee you that
footage the entire show's out there somewhereon someone's phone, and that's fine.
Have you had a chance, andI'm pretty sure you have. Have you
you had a chance to sit downand watch Stadium Fluffy? Well, I
was the one the editor and myselfand we went through the whole thing.
So yes, the main thing I'mlooking for in the editing process is making

(24:29):
sure that the camera angles are okay. So like, if you know,
when I'm performing, I want tomake sure the camera's on my face.
So when I deliver something, youknow, you don't want to miss it.
You don't want to see the backof the head or a crowd shot
when you're talking. You know,you want to be able to have that
engaged part and wait until there's momentsof like applause breaks or big laughter where
you can pan out and show youknow, that's something the little director in
