Of Carlsmann see pretty much are people that have never

Nobody should see him. But I did and he was awesome.
He was incredible. He was amazing. Who's jokes, He's still
he's all original. It was stuff I've never seen before.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I was legit. Yeah whatever, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So you can tell on the internet the people that
have seen me perform and the people that haven't. The
people that have, they're telling you, dude, this guy, you
gotta go see him. And then there's still people that
are hated that are hanging on to the hate Bro the.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Half minute, Carlos, Carlos. You know, we love you, Carlos.
We've been seeing you.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
We've been seeing you perform for years on the stage
of Shoreline the Ampathy. It seld out from from from
from you know, you've been You've been a comics comic
for years, man, so we appreciate your talent.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
You already know that, bro.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
But that's what But that's what I'm saying, Like you
could tell, you could tell the people.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And it's been different. You know, it's been way way different, bro.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I have I've had a Yeah, it's just being on
the uh and I've been I've been online a lot,
like I post a lot of stuff now and you know,
so it's been it's it's yeah, it's been interesting, bro.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Like to have people come. You know this.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
There was a lady who came to see me perform
this past weekend. I was in Ontario, California, and she
was diagnosed with a cancer that they told her like,
you can recover from this, but it's gonna be grueling,
it's gonna be hard, you're gonna go through. Basically, what
they said to her was like you're almost gonna die
(03:04):
before the cancer dies, you know what I mean. But
the cancer will die before you, most likely. But it's
just gonna be rough, and we want you to know that.
And she came to see my show, bro and she
bought the VIP, so I got to meet her before
the show and she looked at me in the eye
and she said, I swear to god, dude, I heard that.
And I was like, you know what, I'm gonna die.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's cool. I've had a good life. But then I
thought about all the shit that you've been through, all
the things that you've been through, all the ups and downs,
you never quit you and you always made me laugh.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
And so I'm here not so that you make me laugh,
but to tell you that if you promised to never quit,
I will promise to not quit on this cancer.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And I was like, done, I'll I'll never quit doing
what I do. I'll never try to stop.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
So when you get stuff like that, you know, I
think the trick is to live in that world right,
to allow yourself to feel that, but not let it
get to your head. You know what I mean, to
like to let it be like, Okay, I'm changing lives,
I'm affecting people in a positive way to accept it,
to take it in, to let it fill your body,
(04:17):
because if you don't, then you know, you only let
in the hate part of the negative part. You can't
have that either. But then you gotta let it go, bro,
because if not, I'm gonna be.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Like, oh, I can't cure cancer, you know, right, all
of a sudden, Bro, you you come to my shows
and I have T shirts that say like if you
if you smell this T shirt and you take this
blend of whatever, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Yeah, I'm selling candles and ship now right, I got
candles all of a sudden, like this candle and if
you like this candle, you know, Carlos, well, we will
cure you.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I will make you laugh.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And look did you have you had Todiam checking It's gone.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
That was.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm the local. Bring a chicken, it would be head
the chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But there's one thing about you, Low. It's obviously you've
always been a great human being. We love your death man,
but you've always had like a loyal fan base who
even if there are people online who will say a
negative thing like you're loyal fan base, they're.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Not tripping you know what I'm saying, I.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Feel like you're one of those comedians who all those
people who actually went to your show, like you were saying,
who kind of know what you're about, who love you.
It's like they're not leaving man. People love Carlos Benci,
the people who well.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
The people that they see what I do. And right now,
right now, there is no comedian alive right now that
I know of that. It's consciously trying to unite people
in this country like me. You know, you look at
my shows right now, Bro, there isn't a show that
doesn't have every color, every ethnicity. But now, bro, because
(06:01):
I'm talking about so you know, I have a huge family,
and I started talking about my family members that have
diseases and that have you know, genetic abnormalities, and one
of them is my aunt and she has palsy. And
I've been reluctant to talk about her for a long
time because it just I.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
She's a person. How about this.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
She's a human being, which means sometimes she's cool, sometimes
she's not.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And I knew that the minute I started talking about her.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
There's this one story, dude, that I was afraid was
gonna make her look bad. But I talked to her
about it inevitably, and she was like, it's cool, you
can do it. So what happened was when I was nineteen, Bro,
my aunt who's my godmother, who has cerebral palsy, brought
a girl to my house who has palsy and had
(06:56):
told her that I liked her and that I wanted
to have sex with her. So when she came to
the house and she saw me, she was so excited
and she literally blurted out like.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I can't believe we're gonna have sex.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And I was like, whoa wait a minute, I don't
even know you. You know what I mean, what's going on?
And I'm talking to you like this, but in reality
it's my knee and.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Not going my friend, and we're going, oh my god,
you're good, yes, bro, And so I go I reacted, right,
I reacted like wait wait, wait wait, I'm not like
I don't know you.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Like, where is this coming from? Bro? So she starts crying.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Exactly Bro, well no, because I didn't want to, like
I didn't listen to it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But what do you do, Bro? I know. So she
starts going and she's like, I can't believe it. You
don't want to be with me because I am terrible polsy.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
And dude, I looked at her and I was like, well,
I guess now we're gonna do it because I can't.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I can't break your heart like that. I can't. I
can't break your heart like that, Like you know, I couldn't, Bro.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I felt I was nineteen, but I was like, I
can't do this to this girl. I can't have this
girl at home crying, you know what I mean talking
about nobody wants to be with me and I could
change that.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But you have a heart of gold, you know what
I'm saying, because you're so Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So I tell these stories now, and guess what, Bro,
eighty five percent of my shows now have somebody with
the disability in them.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And most of the time it's it's.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Diseases like paul'sy or like als or stuff like that.
Usually it's neurological diseases where you know, and messes with
their muscles and how they can walk and stuff like that,
but it doesn't mess with their minds at all.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So a lot of those. But yeah, it's a trip, bro.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
And it's funny because four kids with Paulsy the other
day came to see my show in Vegas, and I
asked them, you know, why, why are you talking to
me before the show? And I knew it, but I
wanted to hear it. And the kids were like, do
we want you to talk about us? And I was like, okay,
I get that, but you do realize. I told him, like,
(09:13):
when I do an impression of you, people are gonna
look at me like I'm making fun of you. Do
you know what I'm saying? Like, that's the that's the
bad part about being a comedian. Like the other day,
I was trying to give this guy a compliment and
every time I said the compliment, the audience would laugh
as if I was making fun of him. And I
(09:35):
was like, no, dude, I like your outfit and the
audiences ah. I was like, guys, I'm being serious. I'm
not trying to mess with him. I like his outfit.
And then he stood up and turned around and like
and I couldn't get past it. So I told these guys,
I go, look, people are gonna think I'm making fun
(09:55):
of you.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And some people might get.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Mad at you guys for laughing, because you're to be
like the black guy back in the day laughing at
the white guy.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You know, doing black face. You don't want to be
that guy.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And one of the kids, well, they all kind of
said to me basically like, here's what they said to me.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I'm not gonna do impression on them.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I'm just gonna say, but basically what they said was, look,
when we go out in public, people tell the children
not to look at us, not to stare at us,
and all we see when we go out is people
turn them away, pretending that they didn't see us. They're like,
we're here because we know you see us. And I said,
how do you know I see you? And they were like,
(10:36):
because one of us was here before, and your impression
of cerebral palsy was so good that we know you
hanging out with us.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And then this other kid goes, when you.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Do palsy, you look like Michael, and he pointed to
another kid that was sitting next to him, and Michael
looks at him and he goes, I don't look Mexican,
and do it all.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Started laughing so hard.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
But what they were basically saying was, look, we're here
because you see us as human beings. You don't just
see us as palsy. But you also don't ignore our palsy.
You see us as human beings that have palsy, and
we love that. And so right now, Asians like every
single person's coming. And there's some truths too that are
(11:26):
really funny, you know that that you know, like the
number one group of people coming to this country right
or staying illegally a lot of people think south of
the border, it's actually people coming from the Philippines.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And overstaying their visas.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
And so asking somebody in the audience, you know, hey,
is there anybody here?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You know that's that's Filipino and they say yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And then the other day I got one where I
was like, are you here pastor visa? And she goes yeah.
I go, do you work at a hospital? And she goes,
I'm a nurse? And I looked at the.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
White and go, do you see you're kicking out of aoo?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
The guy who's making your pasta, the guy who's cutting
your grass, the guy who's doing your pool, But the
guy who took your daughter's job of working at a hospital.
That's this one right here that ain't us bro And
being able to get a laugh but also have people
go wait is this true? And I can see sometimes,
(12:21):
especially the younger generation, the kids in their thirties, they're
literally going on their phone.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
To fact check it. Oh right, and in the minimum,
my shold.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And the cool thing is you'll just like twenty seconds later,
after everybody's laughing, you'll hear somebody go, oh.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Damn, he ain't lying. It's true.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And then it takes that to a whole other level
because them people are like, oh my god, So not
only is it funny, not.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Only is it real, this is true stuff. And so yeah,
it's been, it's been. It's been so rewarding to go
on stage right now. I've never been better, never been funnier.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Than I love what you do on social media too.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
Man.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
You just tap in and just like you've always been real,
and but people get this chance to see like the
real side of you. Like you know, sometimes you just
roll through the airport and say, hey, guys, I just
hope that you guys have a great day.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
You'll say things like that that's like maybe small, but
it's big at the same time.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I've always look, you know, it's funny, bro. So I
had a very interesting moment. A couple of weeks ago,
I did this podcast where you gamble, So they give
you a thousand months to gamble, and during you know,
during your gambling, you do the podcast. If you win money,
(13:40):
it goes to a charity. If you lose the money,
then it just goes. But it's real money, it's real gambling.
And what it's kind of intended to do is when
you're gambling, you know, and you're paying attention to the money,
you're kind of not really focused on the questions too much,
so you'll answer whatever they ask without being weird.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Anyway, Anyway, long story short, Uh, this guy literally goes, Okay,
here's the money we're gonna start. Are you ready to go?
Ready to go? Three two one, and he goes, this
is welcome to blah blah blah podcast. We're here with Carlinos.
Want to see the first reas out of months ago. So, Carlos,
do you hate Joe Rogan?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I was like, wow, Wow, Okay, that's the first question
right out the gate.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Okay, I said, no, I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I don't hate other people, and I don't hate other
people that hate me.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You hating me doesn't dictate that I have to hate you.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
You.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Hating me doesn't dict that I have to be mean
to you.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You, you know, telling other people to not see me perform,
you know, dedicating part of your career to people.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Hating me doesn't mean anything to me.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
My journey is my journey, and I the one thing
I hate more than anything in life, Bro, and I
and you.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Guys just minorities can understand.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
This is when we talk, right when you with your
brother brothers and you with the Latinos and me with
my peeps talk when we were younger, or even now,
when we talk of to white people and those people
and you know how racist and this and this and that,
and then all of a sudden they come into our
neighborhood and we treat them like crap. We treat them
with racism. We do to them what they do to
(15:13):
us quote unquote when they have power. And that thing
is the one thing I cannot stand, Bro. I cannot
stand when black people are racist to white people, because
it's like, Bro, you know what that feels like. I
get that you want vengeance, but you know what that
feels like. And you're making somebody that didn't do anything
to you feel that way, and you know what that
(15:33):
feels like, how can you do that? I can't do that, man.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You know when when those chants and by the way,
those chants in.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
My shows now are pretty much every other show, I
have to tell somebody, don't ever yell it out during
my shows. Don't ever go online and yell it out.
Don't ever think that I want you to yell that out.
And they're like, you don't understand. I go, no, you
don't understand. We're here because we want to laugh. And
if you want to say anything to anybody, tell them
how I made you.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Feel during this show. You're funny and then say that.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
But don't say if this guy or that guy that's
not you're not my girlfriend, you're not being loyal to me.
All you're trying to do is hurt somebody that hurt me.
And I'm not into that space. So I'm just in
a different space, bro, I'm just in a different headspace.
I'm good, I'm making people happy, I'm touching people, I'm
connecting with people.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I'm affecting people in ways that I didn't do.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
And you sharpen ever, every show is completely sharper than ever.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
I know I know that in congratulations on your Vegas
give out your Vegas residency, because we know we all
go to Vegas straight from the Monerary Airport Airport.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, So every Tuesday and Wednesday at ten o'clock, I'm
the Strip on the Promenade.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
It's a JKA comedy club.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
It's right like literally right next to that big ferris
wheel on the promenade and between the Flamingo and the Link.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I'm there every Tuesday and Wednesday at ten o'clock.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
And then it's a two story building, so we do
the show on top and then at twelve, when the
show's over, about eleven thirty, we go downstairs and whoever
wants to stay from the show, we do karaoke. So
we do the show till you know, from ten to
about eleven thirty. Then from twelve to about two in
the morning, whoever stays. Sometimes it's a lot of people, bro.
(17:13):
We just hang out and see karaoke and get to hang.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Out with people.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And so I like that.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Ing by the way, that's happening.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, that happens every Tuesday Wednesday, bro, And that's fun,
you know, to get to know them.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
But I think what it is.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
The way Carlos, what's your karaoke song? What's your what
should go to song?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
So here's what's interesting. There's two different karaokees for Carlos.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's karaoke when I go to karaoke somewhere else, you know,
Like let's say this weekend, we went to a karaoke
spot after the show, right, Like, let's say Friday, they
shows over at twelve thirty.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I'm like, hey, man, let's.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Find a spot that one is gonna be different. I'm
gonna I'm gonna sing. It depends on who goes, depends.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
On what it is.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I'm gonna sing, Like, I'll walk in there and go,
what is everybody else singing?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Like? I don't want to be the guy.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
That comes in and sings something different than everybody else is,
So let's go with that. But what happens on my
karaoke is because I tell people this isn't my singing,
this is about hanging out. And so a lot of
people in my karaoke cannot sing, like they're really not
good at it, of course, but they want me to
help them. So they'll be like, hey, Carlos, can you
(18:17):
help me with this song? And so on mine, I
just ended up doing a bunch of stuff that I
didn't even pick, that you know, they picked.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
So it literally goes from uh, some young girl going
and we're never being reallyals.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
From that song to an old man and me and
he couldn't believe that I remember this song.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I think it was from the Drifters.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Uh boomboo roof And he was like, what I always
sing under the boardwalk with this other old black man. Uh,
it was just amazing and that kind of stuff, dude,
So I'm connecting. But but but I think what happened is,
you know, when life hits you, right, and I think
this applies to all people. When life gets to you,
(19:01):
you either become somebody that appreciates the time that you
have on this earth, or you become that bitter right. Like,
there's two types of old people, the nice, happy old
people that are sweet and kind and the ones that
are like ah, and you either become one of the other,
because life doesn't.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It's unforgiving, bro. Life is mean to good people and
nice to bad people. A holes.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
When the lottery angels can't get out of the hood,
you know, it's just not fair. It isn't fair.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And that unfairness.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, you either get better or bitter.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
It seems like we too, right as you age, you
getting better, that's exactly yes.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
And you either become appreciative or you become angry. And
I somehow, through everything that I've done, have become even
more close to people. I feel like today, right now,
America needs me more than it ever has.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
To put out a special.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
That's why I'm working really hard on this next special
right now, gonna film it really soon. But you know,
because I'm the one comedian that's going on stage, and
like I said, you know, look around, look at the
diversity of this audience. You know, sometimes I'll turn them
the lights and tell people, look who's here.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
And it's it's interesting because you know.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
There are times when people don't realize how diversity audience is, you.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Know, because you come and you sit down and you
only see the people around you.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
How often are you really looking, you know, in a room,
Oh look at all these people.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
But but you, Carlos, you've been all over the world, man,
You've performed for the troops in the Middle East, and
you've done it all man, And yeah, we just want to.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Give you a prose.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Men.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Your flowers if like like they say, man for you,
you know, being just great and in my opinion, a
genius throughout these years.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
And what and also in Santose this weekend saying we
want everybody to go out to see Carlos.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
There's only a handful of tickets left.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
But if you find some tickets, go take your family,

That's when I was a kid. I was a teenager. Bro,
me and my dad did not get along, and they
mine have been. See it came up and we started
watching your show together and we started laughing at the
same stuff, and we realized, like how much I realized

Speaker 3 (25:28):
And I want you to know. I want you to
know something that the only reason I did not surprise
you and show up at studio today is because when
I woke up at I think it was I woke
up at about three thirty in the morning, and I
was gonna go see you guys. But I've been eating
piscatarian so I've been eating foods, vexibles and fish. And
(25:53):
my mom yesterday came over and she made some green
chili and some I hadn't had meat in a long time,
so dude, I had a stomach cache.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
That was so bad that I was like, I can't
drive right now. So my mother coming over and making
me special which was delicious, by the way, but my
stomach just could not handle it.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Is the reason I didn't go to studio and hang
out with you guys. So blame my mother, dog, Blame
my mother.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
That's all right. That's all right, man, she's making And

You know, I have a residency in Vegas, So I
do that show and then it's just been it's been.
You know, it's been busy, busy, busy, busy, Bro, And
(00:38):
I can't do as many shows sometimes, so sometimes I gotta,
you know, carve something out. But yeah, I can't wait, man,
I'm so excited to go up there. It's one of
my favorite places to perform.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
So yeah, it's gonna be good. It's gonna be good time.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
And I've never been better, Bro, I've never been We're
talking about this with Biz. I just you know what
happened the decisions I made in the past, you know,
ten or fifteen years to just grow as a human being,
to be better, to be funnier.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, it just made me better.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I'm I'm edgier now than I ever had before, and
I get complaints less.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
The only complaints that you get.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Of Carlsmann see pretty much are people that have never
seen me perform or don't watch me perform. If you
go online, that's what you hear. Right, you go online,
you get man, I saw the show. It was amazing. Man,
I was at this show. Is incredible moment. Man I
was at this show is awesome. Oh my god, he's
got a standing ovation. And then he sucks. He's horrible.
I'm not gonna go see him. I don't ever see him.
(01:34):
Nobody should see him. But I did and he was awesome.
He was incredible. He was amazing. Who's jokes, He's still
he's all original. It was stuff I've never seen before.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I was legit. Yeah whatever, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So you can tell on the internet the people that
have seen me perform and the people that haven't. The
people that have, they're telling you, dude, this guy, you
gotta go see him. And then there's still people that
are hated that are hanging on to the hate Bro the.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Half minute, Carlos, Carlos. You know, we love you, Carlos.
We've been seeing you.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
We've been seeing you perform for years on the stage
of Shoreline the Ampathy. It seld out from from from
from you know, you've been You've been a comics comic
for years, man, so we appreciate your talent.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
You already know that, bro.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
But that's what But that's what I'm saying, Like you
could tell, you could tell the people.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And it's been different. You know, it's been way way different, bro.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I have I've had a Yeah, it's just being on
the uh and I've been I've been online a lot,
like I post a lot of stuff now and you know,
so it's been it's it's yeah, it's been interesting, bro.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Like to have people come. You know this.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
There was a lady who came to see me perform
this past weekend. I was in Ontario, California, and she
was diagnosed with a cancer that they told her like,
you can recover from this, but it's gonna be grueling,
it's gonna be hard, you're gonna go through. Basically, what
they said to her was like you're almost gonna die
(03:04):
before the cancer dies, you know what I mean. But
the cancer will die before you, most likely. But it's
just gonna be rough, and we want you to know that.
And she came to see my show, bro and she
bought the VIP, so I got to meet her before
the show and she looked at me in the eye
and she said, I swear to god, dude, I heard that.
And I was like, you know what, I'm gonna die.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's cool. I've had a good life. But then I
thought about all the shit that you've been through, all
the things that you've been through, all the ups and downs,
you never quit you and you always made me laugh.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
And so I'm here not so that you make me laugh,
but to tell you that if you promised to never quit,
I will promise to not quit on this cancer.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And I was like, done, I'll I'll never quit doing
what I do. I'll never try to stop.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
So when you get stuff like that, you know, I
think the trick is to live in that world right,
to allow yourself to feel that, but not let it
get to your head. You know what I mean, to
like to let it be like, Okay, I'm changing lives,
I'm affecting people in a positive way to accept it,
to take it in, to let it fill your body,
(04:17):
because if you don't, then you know, you only let
in the hate part of the negative part. You can't
have that either. But then you gotta let it go, bro,
because if not, I'm gonna be.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Like, oh, I can't cure cancer, you know, right, all
of a sudden, Bro, you you come to my shows
and I have T shirts that say like if you
if you smell this T shirt and you take this
blend of whatever, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Yeah, I'm selling candles and ship now right, I got
candles all of a sudden, like this candle and if
you like this candle, you know, Carlos, well, we will
cure you.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I will make you laugh.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And look did you have you had Todiam checking It's gone.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
That was.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm the local. Bring a chicken, it would be head
the chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But there's one thing about you, Low. It's obviously you've
always been a great human being. We love your death man,
but you've always had like a loyal fan base who
even if there are people online who will say a
negative thing like you're loyal fan base, they're.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Not tripping you know what I'm saying, I.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Feel like you're one of those comedians who all those
people who actually went to your show, like you were saying,
who kind of know what you're about, who love you.
It's like they're not leaving man. People love Carlos Benci,
the people who well.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
The people that they see what I do. And right now,
right now, there is no comedian alive right now that
I know of that. It's consciously trying to unite people
in this country like me. You know, you look at
my shows right now, Bro, there isn't a show that
doesn't have every color, every ethnicity. But now, bro, because
(06:01):
I'm talking about so you know, I have a huge family,
and I started talking about my family members that have
diseases and that have you know, genetic abnormalities, and one
of them is my aunt and she has palsy. And
I've been reluctant to talk about her for a long
time because it just I.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
She's a person. How about this.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
She's a human being, which means sometimes she's cool, sometimes
she's not.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And I knew that the minute I started talking about her.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
There's this one story, dude, that I was afraid was
gonna make her look bad. But I talked to her
about it inevitably, and she was like, it's cool, you
can do it. So what happened was when I was nineteen, Bro,
my aunt who's my godmother, who has cerebral palsy, brought
a girl to my house who has palsy and had
(06:56):
told her that I liked her and that I wanted
to have sex with her. So when she came to
the house and she saw me, she was so excited
and she literally blurted out like.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I can't believe we're gonna have sex.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And I was like, whoa wait a minute, I don't
even know you. You know what I mean, what's going on?
And I'm talking to you like this, but in reality
it's my knee and.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Not going my friend, and we're going, oh my god,
you're good, yes, bro, And so I go I reacted, right,
I reacted like wait wait, wait wait, I'm not like
I don't know you.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Like, where is this coming from? Bro? So she starts crying.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Exactly Bro, well no, because I didn't want to, like
I didn't listen to it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But what do you do, Bro? I know. So she
starts going and she's like, I can't believe it. You
don't want to be with me because I am terrible polsy.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
And dude, I looked at her and I was like, well,
I guess now we're gonna do it because I can't.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I can't break your heart like that. I can't. I
can't break your heart like that, Like you know, I couldn't, Bro.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I felt I was nineteen, but I was like, I
can't do this to this girl. I can't have this
girl at home crying, you know what I mean talking
about nobody wants to be with me and I could
change that.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But you have a heart of gold, you know what
I'm saying, because you're so Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So I tell these stories now, and guess what, Bro,
eighty five percent of my shows now have somebody with
the disability in them.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And most of the time it's it's.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Diseases like paul'sy or like als or stuff like that.
Usually it's neurological diseases where you know, and messes with
their muscles and how they can walk and stuff like that,
but it doesn't mess with their minds at all.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So a lot of those. But yeah, it's a trip, bro.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
And it's funny because four kids with Paulsy the other
day came to see my show in Vegas, and I
asked them, you know, why, why are you talking to
me before the show? And I knew it, but I
wanted to hear it. And the kids were like, do
we want you to talk about us? And I was like, okay,
I get that, but you do realize. I told him, like,
(09:13):
when I do an impression of you, people are gonna
look at me like I'm making fun of you. Do
you know what I'm saying? Like, that's the that's the
bad part about being a comedian. Like the other day,
I was trying to give this guy a compliment and
every time I said the compliment, the audience would laugh
as if I was making fun of him. And I
(09:35):
was like, no, dude, I like your outfit and the
audiences ah. I was like, guys, I'm being serious. I'm
not trying to mess with him. I like his outfit.
And then he stood up and turned around and like
and I couldn't get past it. So I told these guys,
I go, look, people are gonna think I'm making fun
(09:55):
of you.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And some people might get.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Mad at you guys for laughing, because you're to be
like the black guy back in the day laughing at
the white guy.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You know, doing black face. You don't want to be
that guy.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And one of the kids, well, they all kind of
said to me basically like, here's what they said to me.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I'm not gonna do impression on them.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I'm just gonna say, but basically what they said was, look,
when we go out in public, people tell the children
not to look at us, not to stare at us,
and all we see when we go out is people
turn them away, pretending that they didn't see us. They're like,
we're here because we know you see us. And I said,
how do you know I see you? And they were like,
(10:36):
because one of us was here before, and your impression
of cerebral palsy was so good that we know you
hanging out with us.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And then this other kid goes, when you.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Do palsy, you look like Michael, and he pointed to
another kid that was sitting next to him, and Michael
looks at him and he goes, I don't look Mexican,
and do it all.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Started laughing so hard.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
But what they were basically saying was, look, we're here
because you see us as human beings. You don't just
see us as palsy. But you also don't ignore our palsy.
You see us as human beings that have palsy, and
we love that. And so right now, Asians like every
single person's coming. And there's some truths too that are
(11:26):
really funny, you know that that you know, like the
number one group of people coming to this country right
or staying illegally a lot of people think south of
the border, it's actually people coming from the Philippines.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And overstaying their visas.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
And so asking somebody in the audience, you know, hey,
is there anybody here?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You know that's that's Filipino and they say yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And then the other day I got one where I
was like, are you here pastor visa? And she goes yeah.
I go, do you work at a hospital? And she goes,
I'm a nurse? And I looked at the.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
White and go, do you see you're kicking out of aoo?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
The guy who's making your pasta, the guy who's cutting
your grass, the guy who's doing your pool, But the
guy who took your daughter's job of working at a hospital.
That's this one right here that ain't us bro And
being able to get a laugh but also have people
go wait is this true? And I can see sometimes,
(12:21):
especially the younger generation, the kids in their thirties, they're
literally going on their phone.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
To fact check it. Oh right, and in the minimum,
my shold.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And the cool thing is you'll just like twenty seconds later,
after everybody's laughing, you'll hear somebody go, oh.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Damn, he ain't lying. It's true.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And then it takes that to a whole other level
because them people are like, oh my god, So not
only is it funny, not.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Only is it real, this is true stuff. And so yeah,
it's been, it's been. It's been so rewarding to go
on stage right now. I've never been better, never been funnier.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Than I love what you do on social media too.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
Man.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
You just tap in and just like you've always been real,
and but people get this chance to see like the
real side of you. Like you know, sometimes you just
roll through the airport and say, hey, guys, I just
hope that you guys have a great day.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
You'll say things like that that's like maybe small, but
it's big at the same time.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I've always look, you know, it's funny, bro. So I
had a very interesting moment. A couple of weeks ago,
I did this podcast where you gamble, So they give
you a thousand months to gamble, and during you know,
during your gambling, you do the podcast. If you win money,
(13:40):
it goes to a charity. If you lose the money,
then it just goes. But it's real money, it's real gambling.
And what it's kind of intended to do is when
you're gambling, you know, and you're paying attention to the money,
you're kind of not really focused on the questions too much,
so you'll answer whatever they ask without being weird.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Anyway, Anyway, long story short, Uh, this guy literally goes, Okay,
here's the money we're gonna start. Are you ready to go?
Ready to go? Three two one, and he goes, this
is welcome to blah blah blah podcast. We're here with Carlinos.
Want to see the first reas out of months ago. So, Carlos,
do you hate Joe Rogan?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I was like, wow, Wow, Okay, that's the first question
right out the gate.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Okay, I said, no, I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I don't hate other people, and I don't hate other
people that hate me.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You hating me doesn't dictate that I have to hate you.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
You.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Hating me doesn't dict that I have to be mean
to you.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You, you know, telling other people to not see me perform,
you know, dedicating part of your career to people.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Hating me doesn't mean anything to me.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
My journey is my journey, and I the one thing
I hate more than anything in life, Bro, and I
and you.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Guys just minorities can understand.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
This is when we talk, right when you with your
brother brothers and you with the Latinos and me with
my peeps talk when we were younger, or even now,
when we talk of to white people and those people
and you know how racist and this and this and that,
and then all of a sudden they come into our
neighborhood and we treat them like crap. We treat them
with racism. We do to them what they do to
(15:13):
us quote unquote when they have power. And that thing
is the one thing I cannot stand, Bro. I cannot
stand when black people are racist to white people, because
it's like, Bro, you know what that feels like. I
get that you want vengeance, but you know what that
feels like. And you're making somebody that didn't do anything
to you feel that way, and you know what that
(15:33):
feels like, how can you do that? I can't do that, man.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You know when when those chants and by the way,
those chants in.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
My shows now are pretty much every other show, I
have to tell somebody, don't ever yell it out during
my shows. Don't ever go online and yell it out.
Don't ever think that I want you to yell that out.
And they're like, you don't understand. I go, no, you
don't understand. We're here because we want to laugh. And
if you want to say anything to anybody, tell them
how I made you.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Feel during this show. You're funny and then say that.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
But don't say if this guy or that guy that's
not you're not my girlfriend, you're not being loyal to me.
All you're trying to do is hurt somebody that hurt me.
And I'm not into that space. So I'm just in
a different space, bro, I'm just in a different headspace.
I'm good, I'm making people happy, I'm touching people, I'm
connecting with people.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I'm affecting people in ways that I didn't do.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
And you sharpen ever, every show is completely sharper than ever.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
I know I know that in congratulations on your Vegas
give out your Vegas residency, because we know we all
go to Vegas straight from the Monerary Airport Airport.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, So every Tuesday and Wednesday at ten o'clock, I'm
the Strip on the Promenade.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
It's a JKA comedy club.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
It's right like literally right next to that big ferris
wheel on the promenade and between the Flamingo and the Link.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I'm there every Tuesday and Wednesday at ten o'clock.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
And then it's a two story building, so we do
the show on top and then at twelve, when the
show's over, about eleven thirty, we go downstairs and whoever
wants to stay from the show, we do karaoke. So
we do the show till you know, from ten to
about eleven thirty. Then from twelve to about two in
the morning, whoever stays. Sometimes it's a lot of people, bro.
(17:13):
We just hang out and see karaoke and get to hang.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Out with people.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And so I like that.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Ing by the way, that's happening.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, that happens every Tuesday Wednesday, bro, And that's fun,
you know, to get to know them.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
But I think what it is.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
The way Carlos, what's your karaoke song? What's your what
should go to song?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
So here's what's interesting. There's two different karaokees for Carlos.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's karaoke when I go to karaoke somewhere else, you know,
Like let's say this weekend, we went to a karaoke
spot after the show, right, Like, let's say Friday, they
shows over at twelve thirty.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I'm like, hey, man, let's.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Find a spot that one is gonna be different. I'm
gonna I'm gonna sing. It depends on who goes, depends.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
On what it is.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I'm gonna sing, Like, I'll walk in there and go,
what is everybody else singing?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Like? I don't want to be the guy.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
That comes in and sings something different than everybody else is,
So let's go with that. But what happens on my
karaoke is because I tell people this isn't my singing,
this is about hanging out. And so a lot of
people in my karaoke cannot sing, like they're really not
good at it, of course, but they want me to
help them. So they'll be like, hey, Carlos, can you
(18:17):
help me with this song? And so on mine, I
just ended up doing a bunch of stuff that I
didn't even pick, that you know, they picked.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
So it literally goes from uh, some young girl going
and we're never being reallyals.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
From that song to an old man and me and
he couldn't believe that I remember this song.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I think it was from the Drifters.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Uh boomboo roof And he was like, what I always
sing under the boardwalk with this other old black man. Uh,
it was just amazing and that kind of stuff, dude,
So I'm connecting. But but but I think what happened is,
you know, when life hits you, right, and I think
this applies to all people. When life gets to you,
(19:01):
you either become somebody that appreciates the time that you
have on this earth, or you become that bitter right. Like,
there's two types of old people, the nice, happy old
people that are sweet and kind and the ones that
are like ah, and you either become one of the other,
because life doesn't.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It's unforgiving, bro. Life is mean to good people and
nice to bad people. A holes.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
When the lottery angels can't get out of the hood,
you know, it's just not fair. It isn't fair.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And that unfairness.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, you either get better or bitter.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
It seems like we too, right as you age, you
getting better, that's exactly yes.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
And you either become appreciative or you become angry. And
I somehow, through everything that I've done, have become even
more close to people. I feel like today, right now,
America needs me more than it ever has.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
To put out a special.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
That's why I'm working really hard on this next special
right now, gonna film it really soon. But you know,
because I'm the one comedian that's going on stage, and
like I said, you know, look around, look at the
diversity of this audience. You know, sometimes I'll turn them
the lights and tell people, look who's here.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
And it's it's interesting because you know.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
There are times when people don't realize how diversity audience is, you.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Know, because you come and you sit down and you
only see the people around you.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
How often are you really looking, you know, in a room,
Oh look at all these people.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
But but you, Carlos, you've been all over the world, man,
You've performed for the troops in the Middle East, and
you've done it all man, And yeah, we just want to.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Give you a prose.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Men.
Speaker 5 (20:43):

genius throughout these years.

to put a smile on people's face. I do get
to go on stage, tell jokes whatever they are, they're jokes,
and have somebody with cancer say you affected me to
the point where I'm gonna fight for my life.
