I have the worst love This past trip for our
anniversary trip, I missed the first day. We had to
take an uber uh to get a hotel. We were
stuck in Austin. There's a semi or no Houston. There
was a semi blocking the expressway, so we sit in
traffic for forty five minutes. Finally, my wife and I
get out with our carry ons and we walk two
(08:09):
miles to some kind of a murder hotel and then
we take an uber back. I'm trying not to cuss
as I tell this story, as I tell this story,
but then it's absolutely miserable. We finally we finally get
on the plane. Here's another thing I hate, and then
we'll go back to the fun stuff. Hey, so now
I'm waiting at the gate and everybody's waiting on the
same flight, and we're stuck here. You know, you got
(08:31):
you gotta wait at the gate for forty five minutes,
and y'all see people get food, the stinky you know,
garlic onion, cheesy food, and they'll sit there with it
while we wait, and they wait until they get right
next to you in the seat, and then they decide
to eat. It's crap like that. How do you stand,
air travel?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Man?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
This is drive you nuts?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but I bet I know, like I
know how to disappear, yeah, I know to be invisible. Yeah,
And I learned a lot of trick, like working with
older comics I want to talk about I'll working with

guy yapping right here, like talking about remember I saw
you nineteen seventy nine man with my father and Paul.

He turned the table. That's how you do it.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I go in their car.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Seriously, you're lucky to be alive, though, because as a
cop up, I mean to say humble beginnings, it would
be an understatement. Very poor, gang affiliation, drug addicted fighting,
and the story I get is a priest turns your
life around somehow is there any truth to that or
(10:18):
is it? Am I getting that right around? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Okay, first he touched my peep. Now was.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Forgiving me for the great boy for you do not
know what you've done. Now he's a nice man. We
had a We had a I don't understand like some people,
you know, like you hear these comics tell these crazy
stories about I lived in an abandoned Denny's, or I
lived in an abanded cafeteria. So where a Texas. You're
a Mexican, right, there's a there's Catholic churches all over.
(10:48):
You don't have the braves to go to a Catholic
churchren big, you know. So we're out in the housing
projects and people say I grew up hungry.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I was never hungry, man, I'm everybody in my family was.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
We allowed tortillas beans and tortilla with cheese, and then
like it was poor man. It was a gated community.
The windows were gated, the back door was gated. Watch
a restaurant parked in front of my house until the
burglars broke into our house and they couldn't find nothing
to still, so they woke over up to make fun
(11:22):
of us. I got my sister pregnant another black guy
to master one. My dad gave her.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Well, I never know, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I grew up not poor, but there's always somebody poorer
than you. You know, you might not have shoes, but
that guy don't have no shirt.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
You know that guys got no feet.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
He had to show up his shoes in his hands.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, I got one off the line.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Or the guy might have money, but he starters. You
know you should really here was a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
So is is the the priest or whoever was that
got involved.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Is he still around? Yes, he has father Greg Boyle
still touching him. Yeah, man, come afar. Yeah he's still around. Man.
He's helped so many people get out of get out
of prison and find jobs. And people come out and
then go back to prison and they come out and
to have a job. But most of the a lot
(12:28):
of people there's been lost success stories. You know. One
of them and my friend Carlos Muno's shout out to
Heaven Goldie.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
He was him and I were like the first people
that was that were out by that church. He went on.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
He went to rehab too, but he went to go
work for and like a Hustand's husband. I can't think
of his name right now, but his name is he's
a famous Mexicans.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, he's a famous Mexican artist.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
No, you see, I'll be married later.
Speaker 3 (13:02):

old lot on Venice Beach and he lived there forever.
I think something something Gram Robert, Robert Graham, and he's
a big time artist. A lot of his stuff it's
all over the city, murals, all over the world. So
(13:23):
that's the real name. So he shows up and with
fire kids and they do an intern with him to
learn how to paint. And two years later he's the
only one that stood. Everybody left, and he will catch
a bus from Boyle Heights, one hour bus every day
and say with me, man, I will catch a one
hour bus every day to go work and then do
the comedy store. They work at Dodger Stadium.

I record every show and because when you study the tape,
you learn something and you tag your own stuff, right, Yeah,
you get to be in that moment. And yes, nineteen
eighty nine, oh wow, my young comic performing in Saint Louis, Missouri,
opening the show for it. Okay, So I just doesn't
stand up for a year and a half because I
(22:18):
started in eighty seven, and I find myself opening for
her at a comedy club in Saint Louis, Missouri. And
at that time, eighty nine, there's not a lot of
latinos comics in Saint Louis, Missouri. And so they tell me,
do your fifteen minutes and get off, bring her up,
and she and get off, and she's not coming in
because she's circling in a limousine, you know, because it
(22:38):
was it was it was one of those little strip
center comedy clubs. Yeah, so there's nowhere to be. There's

laughing at.

I like that. That's when people remember you, right.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So what so what happens when you do a special
like that? I guess that you go out and you
work out the material in clubs first, and then you
do the big theater. I don't know. Is that how
it goes?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And if so, a lot of people would like to
tell you that, but I'm pretty sure they're all doing
this training on new material and the theater too.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Here's what I don't understand is how you guys can
stand the air travel. It's miserable for me.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You have the worst lives.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I have the worst love This past trip for our
anniversary trip, I missed the first day. We had to
take an uber uh to get a hotel. We were
stuck in Austin. There's a semi or no Houston. There
was a semi blocking the expressway, so we sit in
traffic for forty five minutes. Finally, my wife and I
get out with our carry ons and we walk two
(08:09):
miles to some kind of a murder hotel and then
we take an uber back. I'm trying not to cuss
as I tell this story, as I tell this story,
but then it's absolutely miserable. We finally we finally get
on the plane. Here's another thing I hate, and then
we'll go back to the fun stuff. Hey, so now
I'm waiting at the gate and everybody's waiting on the
same flight, and we're stuck here. You know, you got
(08:31):
you gotta wait at the gate for forty five minutes,
and y'all see people get food, the stinky you know,
garlic onion, cheesy food, and they'll sit there with it
while we wait, and they wait until they get right
next to you in the seat, and then they decide
to eat. It's crap like that. How do you stand,
air travel?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Man?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
This is drive you nuts?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but I bet I know, like I
know how to disappear, yeah, I know to be invisible. Yeah,
And I learned a lot of trick, like working with
older comics I want to talk about I'll working with
Paul Driguez and he was tired, and there was a
guy yapping right here, like talking about remember I saw
you nineteen seventy nine man with my father and Paul.
Speaker 2 (09:12):

his faith bro that a narcole.
Speaker 4 (09:24):

Speaker 3 (09:52):
He turned the table. That's how you do it.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I go in their car.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Seriously, you're lucky to be alive, though, because as a
cop up, I mean to say humble beginnings, it would
be an understatement. Very poor, gang affiliation, drug addicted fighting,
and the story I get is a priest turns your
life around somehow is there any truth to that or
(10:18):
is it? Am I getting that right around? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Okay, first he touched my peep. Now was.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Forgiving me for the great boy for you do not
know what you've done. Now he's a nice man. We
had a We had a I don't understand like some people,
you know, like you hear these comics tell these crazy
stories about I lived in an abandoned Denny's, or I
lived in an abanded cafeteria. So where a Texas. You're
a Mexican, right, there's a there's Catholic churches all over.
(10:48):
You don't have the braves to go to a Catholic
churchren big, you know. So we're out in the housing
projects and people say I grew up hungry.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I was never hungry, man, I'm everybody in my family was.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
We allowed tortillas beans and tortilla with cheese, and then
like it was poor man. It was a gated community.
The windows were gated, the back door was gated. Watch
a restaurant parked in front of my house until the
burglars broke into our house and they couldn't find nothing
to still, so they woke over up to make fun
(11:22):
of us. I got my sister pregnant another black guy
to master one. My dad gave her.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Well, I never know, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I grew up not poor, but there's always somebody poorer
than you. You know, you might not have shoes, but
that guy don't have no shirt.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
You know that guys got no feet.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
He had to show up his shoes in his hands.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, I got one off the line.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Or the guy might have money, but he starters. You
know you should really here was a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
So is is the the priest or whoever was that
got involved.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
