Bro Man, thank you guys so much for having me.
I don't think you realize like how special opportunities are
like this are for us as like up and coming comedians.
But I really say that to y'all, Like, regardless if

the fact that you had me on the show.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
In the world put the energy out there.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, the fact that you guys had me on the show.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I am immensely grateful for you and I will it
will always like leave a stamp for me in my
comedy career.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
You know what I mean, Like, hey, you know, I've
never heard someone say, dude, speak so beautiful.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
You're buttering me up a look, you know what I mean,
you gotta I'm grateful for every opportunity. And when I
say that, shit, I really mean that. Like people say
they're grateful, but I have no problem telling people how grateful.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Like, well, it's like, we'll see how grateful you are
when it comes to like after the podcast, we're like, hey,
you want to show the clips?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
You want to Oh, I'm all the way in.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
The amount of people like, well, we do it that purpose.
We'll have a comic one having conversation prior. But like,
you know, the one thing that bothers is about comics
that they don't want to promote the shows. You know,
we will give them the clips, We'll give them the
you know, the flyers and everything, right, yes, And then
when it comes to the moment where you're like, hey,
this is where you perform, right, you're getting paid do

(03:05):
the show, but you're also getting pad to get people
in the deloking place, right, and and they don't do it.
I'm just like, didn we And then they be like
oh yeah, man, we're all about that life, like we've
got to we gotta promote everything, and then the moment
comes and they don't do it.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I was like, man, the major leadown, I'm just like,
you're only as good as your word too, you know
what I mean? And I think it says a lot
about you as a person, you know what I mean.
If you willing to lie about the little things, what
else are you lying about?

Speaker 1 (03:29):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
That's a shot in nobody directly, But it's like one
of those things where we all trying to make it though, Like.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
We're all trying to make it, especially when there's a
pre made material that you had no work to do,
yeah at all, pre maide material, collab elaborate, call day,
call day, and awesome if don't never even mad exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's like it's and it's crazy because it takes three
and a half seconds to hit that except collaborate or
to add to your story on Instagram.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
But it took forty five minutes to that clip exactly
what if I meant it's just for us out of
the clip, think the pictures made a little sound effects.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
You're there for minutes all of.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
That, and like I if you you truly got to
be grateful for that, especially when people do it on
your behalf, Like you know what I mean, Like I'm
all in. Like if you want me to share it,
I'll share it. If you want me to fucking post
it on my story, I'll post it on my store.
If you want me to send it to my fucking mama,
I'll send it to my fucking mama. Like you know,
because at the end of the day, by you doing this,
you are giving me an opportunity to promote myself more.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
It's the dam all in a myth for some people, man,
because I say I want to I want to be
the next station Peal, but yet there's no work ethic.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yea free shows at the park exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Think about all the ship Yeah, think about all the
shit that he did when he was when he was
crazy and he disappeared, like they should be popping by
comedy club for free and doing six hour shows, you
know what I mean. Like, Yeah, it's like commitment is
real man, And it's just like you gotta be as
in as you can be, you know what I mean?
And and this is my thing all in it's tentative,
like it's subject to change depending on the context, because

(04:58):
like me, I'm a nigga, I have three kids and
I'm married, so my all in might not be you
all in, but you still but you still gotta be
willing to give your own individual all in and figure
out what that means.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, it's like, even if you're only thirty percent in,
give me your full thirty percent exactly for sure.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
You know what I mean, because that thirty percent feel
like it's one hundred and fifteen percent, you know, And
I feel like it's it's your responsibility as a comedian
and as an entertainer in general, because at the end
of the day, what I'm here doing with you niggas
right now is selling myself. Like, like I said, whether
a thousand people or one hundred thousand people see this video,
I need them to know who I am. So it's

(05:35):
like the person whispering yeah, Gordon ramsay.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Lookingike, Yeah, I feel like I'm at church and I'm like,
it's Sunday, Sunday. Yeah. No, man, It's like and that's
the thing, dude, Like, because this can be a symbiotic relationship, yes,
like we can all benefit. Like if you do well, dude,
I'm dad you know what I mean, because maybe a

(06:02):
little bit that trickles my way and not that I'm
like I'm over here, like come on, come on, come on.
But you know people are like, oh, you know, I
loved him, I've a stand up. Oh he's on the podcast.
Let me check the podcast. Wait. Oh he's gonna go
on a Demon Hour too. Oh cool, I'm gonna go
check them out Demon Hours exactly. It's like it's just hey, look,
we all get.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
A circle and it can be and it has to
be your willingness to accept that possibility. And that's why
you're like, hey, I will I will do whatever you
want me to do, at least when it comes down
to the social media ship. If you need me to
share it, I'll share it. I'm not ever gonna turn
down a collaboration. I'll post a flyer, all do all
of that, you know what I mean. Because it's like,
at the end of the day, I know, certain comedians

(06:40):
get to a level where they don't necessarily need to
do that and like, you know, I'm not let.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Me ask what level is that though, man, because nobody's
at that level.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
If you're doing you.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Know, your home time here on Chicago You're not that level.
I'm sorry. Right now, your whole mission is guess what
get views exactly.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
That's it. That's it.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
And yeah, I don't know where that level is. Man.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
I think it's like one of those things where, like,
you know, it's a it comes down to the deeper
statement of you know, the world ain't black and white
is gray, you feel me. So it's like one of
those things where like some people just feel like they
don't need to you know what I mean. And it's
just like it's crazy because like at the end of
the day, you can't step away from the fact that,
like you guys, when you book me on Demon Hour,
you're giving me an opportunity. You are physically putting money

(07:25):
into my pocket. You are doing something for me. And
in addition, in exchange, I am going to do the
best I can when I do your show.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
It's like, like you said, it's a symbiotic.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Relationship and it is a business agreement even if it
is not, you know, if there's no contracts, even if
it's all through Instagram, and it's just like, hey, bro,
you wanna.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Do the show. But word of mouth means so much
more here than a contract. It does because I'm taking.
I'm taking, like you know, and you know this as
someone who's run the shows as well, that a lot
of comics do. We've booked comics. We book comics moms ahead. Yes,
right now, we're booked all the way up to like
almost April. I'm fully both into. And then we'll have

(08:03):
comics that will show up and be like before the
week before the week of the week up, they'll be
like they'll be like, oh, I'm sorry, I double booked myself.
I'm like, yeah, but we booked you three months ago.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, so how did you double book?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
How did you double book? Like, like do you not
put this in the schedule? They're like, oh yeah, but
you know, I gotta go do this one. And then
I'm like, hey, and you're picking that show? Yeah, over,
you know what I mean. It's like it's like all right,
like I said, ego aside, I'm like, dude, I mean
we're doing better numbers in that show.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
There's more value here.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
That's gonna be more and you're getting you're getting paid
a high end price and could we pay you know,
pretty high up there compared to you and like this
is like like I'm not talking about a thousand dollars
I'm talking about, you know, like, yeah, yeah, you know,
but we pay, we pay, right, we pay what makes sense,
And and you're to go do a free show and
and then we're gonna record set for you and give
it to you for free, and you're not gonna and

(08:58):
you're gonna record from your uh your eight yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Great fun dog, yeah yeah, have fun dog.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah cool.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
But that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I don't know if people think of the value of
it or they're just once again like, hey, I already
committed to that one person first, so I'm gonna go
with that person, which I understand, but this scheduled already.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Very few people booking three months ahead.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yes, especially at this level, especially at the level where
you're like, you know, you're you're mostly only doing shows
in the scene.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Where we have its scheduled ready that Hey, no matter
it's ten tickets, one ticket, three hundred tickets, this show
goes on no matter what.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, boom, it's up to you. Guys want to say
yes or no.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, that's that's something exactly, And I think people don't.
I think people get a level of ego where they
really like, oh, this show is lucky to have me, Like,
no brol there's no ego at this level, man, Like
yeah there there. There shouldn't be, but there is, you
know what. And I've learned it as a producer, you
know what I mean. Like people will try and like
make it seem like you need they need you on
their show, just like I've seen much bigger names on

(10:00):
the old showcases and there's still nobody in the room
for sure. So it's like at the end of the day,
you have to realize at this level, like at this
local up and up and coming level, you know, you're
just lucky to have an audience, you know what I mean.
Like none of us are Dave Chappelle. None of us
are like filling rules, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
To this pee wee league right now, to this pee
wee league, set yourself out.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
You're may gonna be running back. You may might be receiver.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Who knows the person hyping you up as your dad.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
The lucky ones has a girlfriend.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
That's if if made the sipfully your children And.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, dude, and like and we're cool when it comes
like we're very understand like like when it comes to us,
we go look a bigger opportunity comes that day, take it.
Take it. We're never gonna say no, We're never going
to be like you, but you already totally that. You're like, hey,
you know the woman open up for you know somebody, somebody, somebody,

(11:00):
I need somebody, and probably do it. Don't even think
about it. If you know, if you want to help
us find a replace for yourself, you have somebody where
you want to recommend amazing, we'll take that. Well, well,
we'll appreciate that. But when it's just like he I'm
gonna go do chuck chuckle, chuckle chuckle at the bar.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, can I get a little messy because if we're
getting it's not necessarily come out right now, it's not.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I'll say names. I have no problem saying names because
this isn't I mean no disrespect to this person. One
of the when I first started producing at the Red Room,
it was like I said, it was me, Christian Hennings,
Myer and Nick Haynick. The show was called Insurt Name Comedy.
We had a solid lineup and that was our first
show at the Red Room, so we had all the
friends and family coming out. The show sold out, and
I remember we had booked Jessica Mistano. Shout out, and

(11:51):
I mean no disrespect, shout out to her. She's super
funny out there killing it. Those little sketches she's been
doing with Heath Cortez or the little bit of White
Dude Hilario.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
She's been making moves.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
But like when she dropped our show and I saw
her picking up a show at the Lincoln Lodge, I
was so fucking heartbroken and disrespected. I'm like, I'm like, bitch,
we got fifty people in this fucking room. Yeah, this
would be a great show for you. And like I'm
not saying the linkolage just putting out people, but I
guarantee you our show this night at least did better
than the show you were all. You really picked that

(12:23):
show first.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Like I'm trying to I'm trying to see a track record,
because we had her demon our comedy. Yeah, and then
we at we booked her mom didn't She's the thing
we didn't even know she disappeared them. Yeah, so we
booked her okay months ahead, and then you know, we
put up we we get the priors printed out, we
put them on the link Lodge. You know, we have
all that stuff, artwork done. Everything's good. And then who

(12:46):
told us it was?

Speaker 3 (12:49):
It was Christian, wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Maybe maybe it was Christian. Maybe it was a comic
comedy that was on the line. I'd be like, hey,
like I noticed that you have Jessica on Yeah, but
she she lives in Austin. Now we were like what,
let you know, we were like a week out, a
week out, a week and a half and we were like, oh,
she's not in na. She moved like last month.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
I was like, is she flying in or something like
you know what I'm.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Saying and the like, and they're like naded, and I'm like,
I get it. She's gone. I get it. She forgot.
It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal.
But I was like, man, I was like, hey, it
would have been nice a little little heads.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Up, yeah, for And it's just like I said, it's no,
let's no disrespect to her at all. Just like as
a producer, me like that, like me being that was
like the fourth or fifth Jo had ever produced. It
was very shaking for it was like, you know, very
like you know, like oh, this is what happens, like.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
We are at link and not like I'm sorry at Marielas,
you had a person it's supposed to be kind of
like the headliner of the show never showed up. Told me,
hey man, I'm forty five minutes out, already late, already late.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
You know he's like people like him.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah, he's a big person.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Right, Yeah, maybe we can maybe maybe you can.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, the name out there, we can beep it out,
we can what what do you know his name?

Speaker 3 (14:07):
I don't even remember you look it up. You look
at I'm blocked follow him.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
It was he had hurt feelings.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, because we were we were running late on the show.
He was, and then we so we kept pushing the back,
kept pushing it back because like we were like, he's
coming late because of traffic.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Okay, the name right now, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Do one of these? Do one of these? All right?

Speaker 3 (14:29):
What so?

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, so yeah, we we booked them. You know, we
had months ahead, months ahead again, yeah, the same thing,
same thing. We kept we were pushing the show back
because like he was running late and we're like and
we're taking the whole time. We're like, hey, bro, you're
coming through. He's like money, I wanted this far away.
I'm wanted this far away. I'm wanted this far away.
And then he just never showed up. Bro, never showed up.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Probably realized like, oh, I've been blowing them off all.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
The time, and I get it, I get it, I
get it. You know, he was like, what do I
do driving out there? You know, blah blah uh. We
had a decent product that day. We have decent crowds.
So you know, it sucks, man, because you're like, you're
friends with a lot of our boys. You know, we're
all latinos right list. You know what I mean. You've

(15:15):
been asking to come on our show.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh that's no, that's the fucking worst, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
So then we book you, we get you on, and
then and then you do that and like one thing, man,
if you would have from the first conversation, you would
have been you know what, guys, I won't be able
to make it tonight. Cool. We can move on from that.
You know, it sucks that you did this to us,
but we can move on from at least you were straightforward.
But I mean, we would never get him on demon
Our No, that's what it is. I mean. Unless but

(15:39):
I'm saying this now, and then we run into him tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
We're like, hey man, but look, this is the great
thing about this scene. You don't need him on your show.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
You don't need.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Anybody on your show, Wet Melvina like myself include you
don't need me on your show like.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
We need you short, like your show.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Will go on. In my point, I'm saying, yeah, the
brand scheme of things, because yes, I might go up
there and do very well. I might do all right,
or I might kill it or I might bomb whatever,
regardless your show was happening if I'm there or not.
So same thing with that guy. It's like, that's a
cool and that's why I'm like, that's the bright side
of this. It's like opak. It's not bright, but it's
like opaque.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's like, realistically, you don't.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Need any of these people because like a lot of
the like and I learned this from my time working
at Second City a little bit before I started doing stand.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Up Second City.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
An I still owe those City. I still owe them
like seventy five dollars, I guess right now they still
be emailing me. We can't say you don't sounds of
money dude, right, And it's crazy because I've done like
five shows there in the last like like maybe three
or four months, and like I'm always there and there

(16:51):
larious no, no, but ye point exactly. But when I
was working there, what I had realized was a lot
of the times when you get these people that come,
they just want to see a show. Like I literally
ask people like, oh, what brings you out tonight? Like
I was a host, so my job was to see people.
You know, they have several hosts and these large you know,
two hundred and fifty three hundred people rooms that they

(17:12):
have a Second City you know, for their like their
main stage and there, etc. Stage you know, these larger shows,
and all the all the time, their answer was, oh,
I just want to see a comedy show. They don't
know who's on the line up. They don't give a
fuck about who's on the line up. They know that
you are doing a comedy show. And they know Second
City is a place for comedy shows. They know the
Lincoln Lodge is a place for comedy shows. It's not
that deep for the common people us. Yes, it's not

(17:35):
that deep. Yeah, Like and I don't think people realize that,
like at the end of the day, and that's why
it comes full circle. With what I was saying, first,
you should be grateful for everything opportunity you get because
these shows don't fucking need you. You could be the
funniest person ever, but they don't need you. Y you
know what I mean, Like these shows will still be
just fine without you. Yeah, And that's you know, that
has nothing to do with you as a stand up

(17:55):
and just the nature of running a entertainment business, you know,
like it is our were job as producers to fill
these seats, regardless if we got nationally touring headliners or motherfuckers.
That was just an open micro last week, Like.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
For sure, you fill the room, like your goal.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Is to at least try to fill the room.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, I mean, and you know, we have comics like
you know a lot of the comments that come from
New York, Cali, and they'll you know, they'll reach out
to all the producers, right that can I get out
of your show? Can I get you know, I'm doing
a headline the spot. Can I get on your show
for blah blah? And will we try to make an
effort defitament?

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
For sure, for sure, you know what I mean, because
same thing. It's just like, hey, they're reaching out and
maybe you know obviously you know one hundred percent, they're
not like, oh I gotta get on Demon No, but
I'm in Chicago. That opportunity, right, They're like, hey, you
know there's multiple shows going on this weekend. Limit hit
up the D three or whatever. But you know a
little bit of connection, right, like like the same thing.
They'll come in and you know, we'll get like, yeah,
we'll get you on. You know, we can't promise you

(18:46):
like a full like amount of time, but we'll get
you like five minutes spot.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
The same thing with my show. What happens all the.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Time, you know, and you know to come in. You
know we'll do and they'll do well, Like we've had
a bunch of comics from Cali come through even now
and then they kill it. Yeah you know what I mean.
And you know how much is that going to build
towards the future? I don't know, Probably nothing, Probably nothing.
You know, maybe you know they came in through our
show and they forgot about us, right right, I mean
because we're trying to collaborate and they're.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Like client that that it's just reps, you know what
I mean for us as producers, you know, like it's
it's it's much deeper than that, you know what I mean,
Like like, hey, you're giving me a big opportunity, Like
for me, I'm grateful to have you. I don't necessarily

(20:24):
want to beat the kill Tony at Chicago. We want
to be the roast Battles of Chicago. We want to
beat the show where people like I need to get

we post a video up on YouTube, we have clips
on you know, like we do, we go the whole
nine yard.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, of course, as you should. I feel like that's
how it should be. Like you should want to do
the most you can with anything you have. And I'm
the same way in real life, Like any job I've
ever had, whether it be retail, I'm always trying to
level up, like trying to figure out howking it's the
next Like, Okay, I'll make eighteen bucks an hour, how
can I get the twenty bucks an hour? You know,
I think you have to have the same mentality where

(20:57):
you know, even if you can't, even if you don't
make it there, you should want to make it there,
you know what I mean. And and like don't even
get me started on the amount of like part time
comedians and the scene you know what I mean, who
like don't have any intentions and you know, working at a
second city, I mean not working doing your class second city,
I guarantee alumni, Ye, you probably had a ton of
people in your class who were just like, I'm just

(21:18):
trying this, you know.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
What I mean? Yeah, that's me.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
That was that was one came out, one came out
of that.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
One person came out. One person. So I had I
did the class with Ceciliazalezzals, me and her, Me and
her in the state was crazy, right. It was me
and her the same class. And then there was like
another like five maybe six comics there or people that
were trying to do comedy and they wanna want to
my own horn, right, But I was, I was on

(21:47):
top of the list. Like that was good man, I was, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Was at least at least in that moment.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Amazing dude.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
So I mean I see, like, you know, fuck it,
uh sketch my back or whatever, do it to everybody there?
Head done stand up at least once, right, every head
does step And they were teaching to stand up there.
You know, I'm already got to open mics. You know,
they were they were pushing us to go to open mics.
I'm a coward. So I was like, I was like, no,

(22:18):
I'm not, I'm not doing open mics. I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
You know, we would do stand up every every every class.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Remember, yeah, right, I can explain that if you want
to go ahead. For those of you who have never
taken a class a second city. Pretty much every week
is pretty much a choreographed or what's the word, sorry,
this is this alcohol got me fucked up. It's pretty
much a reviewed open mic. They would have for for us,

(22:44):
like at least a stand up one. They would have
different topics every week, and your your homework would be
the right, like a three minute set to whatever the
topic was, Like I think one of the first weeks
we did like observational humor, you know, and then another
week we did like storytelling like you know, and say
one of those things where and then everybody does their set,
you go up and then you kind of go around
the circle like, oh, how did you do?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
How did Melvin do? Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Melvin, I think you could punch this up, but this
was really good.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
And the YadA YadA, yeah, And that's how the classes,
that's how it was something.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Who is your teacher? I remember?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I remember, oh, the bald one he was my stand
up one teacher one teacher Jim Joe.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
It was like something with think it was Joe something
like that.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, and for me my under stand up too as well,
and my stand up two teacher was actually a pretty
well known comedian in the scene. Pat Baldrick, Pat Baldck
is like a he for a long for a while,
he had a weekly show the Comedy Bar. He's had
zanies all the time. Like he's a pretty well known
in the video. Yeah please do like bald he was
a super cool teacher, but like he's a pretty established

(23:52):
a median in the scene as opposed to the stand
up one teacher, Like I never heard of.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
That nigga, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Like, so it was great to see Pat Baldi because
like for me, Papa, he's like a really like white
He's like a really like raspy looking white dude. He
kind of yeah, he's one of the one in the
Yellow Yellow.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
They don't do it.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
I don't think they don't do the show there anymore,
but they didn show the Comedy Bar for a while,
like he did when a Zane, when Zany did a
little mini specials like recently in the last like six months,
he was one of the people they picked. So he
has a name, and he was a stand up teacher,
you know what I mean. So it's like it was
dope because it was like this is where you wanted.
He at least was kind of doing some of the
things that I would want to be doing as a
stand up comedian, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Like, so, when when did you take that class? Oh?
My fuck? What did I take that class?

Speaker 2 (24:36):
I took the I started doing stand up before I
took the class, but I was too scared, so I
got to stop doing there. I took the class in
twenty twenty two, so about three years ago. Now, yeah,
so I was like, maybe I was like a.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Year before you. I think I did in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
No, no, no, no, Actually I took the first yees
because I remember it started in like around earlier early.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
This is this is twenty this prequobe when the COVID
starts twenty No, COVID is like twenty twenty, twenty nineteen. Yeah,
I'll turn the video.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
I saw the video.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, I would playing, we're playing now I have I
have my like recording from my so.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
So you know, like everybody else was there like they
were doing their homework, right, dude, I was. I was
showing up one thing. I was driving an hour because
I live in the suburbs. I was driving into the
city to do this. I would write my stand up
routine on the way there. Yeah, because that's what we've
been a way of doing it right, like homework, I
always did it last minute. Yeah, it's just like I
can't build. I couldn't like I couldn't work on there.

(25:33):
I mean, and then I got better throughout that in
the class. But I remember, so you know, and then
of course you we all perform a live stand up
show at Second City.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Dude, that was like the best day of my life.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Right, dude. I remember sold out packed. Everybody has their
family there. It's like, you know this as family. Everybody
is there, very supportive, people are like cool, right, and
you know how you remember they they pick your name
out of a hat? Yes, yes, Joe, did you start it?
Or where did you go?

Speaker 2 (26:04):
I went like in the middle. It was our class
had like I thinking it was like nine or ten
people in it. It was more it was it started
off with twelve and by the time the class like
we got to the showcase, it was like nine.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
So it was a smaller ish showcase. Same of us.
I think we think we were like eight probably, And
I had a feeling, dude, I remember like that day
of there, and you can you can you know, you
can connect me with this, so it's my first time
doing stand up and I'm like, you know, I had
my friends there, my family. You know, I was in
the check at the time, and I had I got

(26:40):
a hotel like I was. I was like, you you
you you a star to not yeah. Yeah. I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I had to be out here.
I need to be relaxed. I don't want to drive
into the city, like I need to stay the night.
I need to do all of that. And you know,
we all go out to get some food, get some
drinks prior to I mean, nothing crazy, just you know something.
But the whole time, dude, I'm just going through my
going through my setup. I'm just repeating myself in my

(27:01):
head non stop, non stop. We're ordering food and in
my head, I'm just like, you know, going through the
motions of it right, taking the causes, doing everything right.
I'm probably the most professional ever done. That was like
the one time, the one time where I was like
I really was a professional bo with a suitcase. I
remember being my in my hotel and I'm listening to

(27:22):
fucking uh Asad Rocky what is it? What is it?
I Love Problem? And I'm like, listen to it and
like the girl was dating that was a Christian girl.
And I'm like no, I'm like, I'm just fucking like.
I'm like, dude, I'm like I'm getting ready shadow boxing.

(27:42):
I was doing it all and I'm like, ain't nobody
better than me? Man? And we get to the second city, dude,
and I had a feeling, bro, I just had a feeling.
I was like, I'm gonna be the first one to call.
I know I will, I know I will. And I'm like,
i wanna be the first one to go up everything
in me. I was already like mentally prepare for it, dude.
And like you said, opening the show is always the hardest. Yes,

(28:03):
it's always the hardest, right, That's why we get host
and host kind of like helped the first comic kind
of giget into it, right. And you know, you know
they have people pick out a name. There was a kid,
there's like a little kid in the front ran in
the front that he picked. He paid. You know, he
goes into the head picks of my name. He's like
Ramon and I just get up like a fucking like

(28:24):
a chance.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
He's already been there.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, this is your time.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
I wasn't nervous. I was anxious because I wanted to
get started, right. I wanted to do it. And I
remember I get up to the stage, dude, and I'm
just like, and I start going through I had to do.
I had a routine about pronouns, dude, Like I was like, dude,
like very like I had a sass sandwich fucking bit
and like it was just like kind of kind of

(28:49):
just a little bit of everything. I'm a little bit
that's just random, right. But I go up there, dude,
and I get him the first fucking like the first
little bit of like a little bit of CrowdWork. In
the beginning, I say, I swear it, but I know
it's just kidding front of us, and I and I'm
like sorry, man, and everybody's like, sorry for saying this
to you, and everybody just fucking goes crazy, right, They're like, oh, yeah,

(29:09):
the kid, he's swearing in front of the kid.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Oh my god, there's a second year old and he
just said fuck yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
And then if I'm there, dude, I just went I
just went at it, and I was like, I opened it.
I opened it perfectly for everybody else. I set up
because from that point on, everybody was using the kid
yes talking yeah, talking boy, and I was like, I
remember I came off the stage, dude. You know, everybody
goes to routine and then like people come back out
in the hallway and they're I was like, oh, could

(29:36):
job me up? And it's like there's a guy that
came up to me, like it's just one random dude,
white guy. He came up to me like, hey man,
great sad man. He's like God, He's like he's like,
hey man, good sad dude. And I was like, oh,
I made it.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, and I shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
I should have taken that moment and ran with it.
They didn't do stand up again for another six weeks.
You said, you said it.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
I said, I'm gonna get my one time to Sean
in front of my mom and I said, the second.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Time was our first show and the place called it
was in Chris Lake.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, and yeah the other show. But it was like,
but yeah, Second City alumni. I mean, I mean me, you,
Steve Carrell, I mean.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, like uh, Chris, Chris ran that was now like, uh,
stephenyun from The Walking Dead were all there, dude, Yeah,
but we're all the same.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
One of the same level. We're all like in the
same different areas. We're not now yet. Yeah, great greatness
is greatness. But like the reason the reason I brought
up was to not to give my own little little
boost right to my horn, but to my home. But
you know, like Mississilia started at the same time, but
she can't with it. Yeah, she can't with it, like
she like and then like a couple of years passed by,

(30:51):
and then and then we were looking to start, you know,
Demon Hour became a thing. We're starting looking comics and
I'm like, oh ship, ce Cilia still doing it?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yeahs yeah, man, I would say, like there's nobody left
from the either of the two classes that I took.
I took in on one and to and there's nobody
left still doing comedy, like or if they are, they're
like occasional open micers. Like there's nobody like I'm the
only one from either of those who classes that came
out where I'm like actually looking to grow as a comedy,
Like I'm getting booked on shows, I'm producing my own shows.

(31:20):
You know, I'm you know, doing everything I can. I'm
trying trying to get shows in other states, like you know,
and to me it was crazy because like you know, like, yeah,
it was dope to do the class, but like, bro,
you paid four hundred dollars for this and you only
planned on doing this one show case. Yes, well for
me it was.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
I think it was like I think it was like
two hundred something for me.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
For me, I was working there for like I said
that at the time. So the first class was free,
the second class that gave me like a discounted rate
and it was like half off. So first class was free,
second class like two hundred as opposed to four hundred. Yeah,
and like to think about how many people like had
like one foot in and one foot out. It was
like wow, that was like it was kind of crazy
for me.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Did you get any like when you were like that
first the stand up one, did you get any pushback?
It was like, hey man, this material is not like
you be touching on this stuff. Because we got a
little bit of that a bit. Yeah, there's me and
a guy who we were just like like, anything's funny
as long as funny's funny. Some people. Know. Some of
the people in the class were like, no, we don't
want to hurt feelings. We don't want to do this,

(32:18):
you know what I mean? And I remember we were
in the bathroom because the teacher, like the instructor, was
just like, hey, man, I see what you're going with.
But I think he dropped that bit because it's not
you know, some people are gonna be sensitive about it. Yeah,
like might not work in the comedy. What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Like dude, watching South Park?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
We were keep going on, and we were in the
bathroom and and we were and we kind of look
at each other and we were like what he said
right now was kind of crazy, right, like, h's are
we not trying to do comedy?

Speaker 2 (32:50):
He's like yeah, then, like like who was he to
tell us what to do? He's teaching comedy, nobody's.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Paying him to perform.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, So it's like I get you know that, like
that that perspective. But man, like a lot of my
early material, I was very much like struggling with kind
of trying to like find my voice. And I'm and
obviously I still I feel like I've kind of found
it a little bit, but I wouldn't say I fully
found it. But at that time, I definitely didn't know
what the fuck I wanted to talk about on stage,
So I did a lot of like telling stories of

(33:17):
random crazy moments in my life that weren't really stories.
Like like one of the first bits that I ever
did during the stand up class when he died, the
storytelling was I told a bit a story about how
I was dating a girl when I was in sixth
grade one day and like and her mother used to
me spend the night over her house all the time,
and we ate some pizza on a Friday night and

(33:38):
I ended up getting diarrhea. And then the next day,
I go, I went to the bathroom and I called
the toilet and I tried to clean the shit out
of the toilet with my hands, like because I would
rather die than have this my sixth grade girlfriend know
that I took a shit in her bathroom. Yeah, like

(33:58):
you know what I mean. But that was like one
of my first like bits. Like it was more so
kind of like me trying to look at my life
and like think about, oh, this might be funny on stage,
because there was this funny moment, but whole time it
was like, oh, that might be like a one minute joke,
as opposed to me trying to stretch out this joke
over five minutes, you know what I mean, And there
was a lot of that on my end. I didn't
start getting into any of the really edgier stuff until

(34:18):
I really started, like really started taking comedies super seriously.
Where I was like going to open mics and trying
to get booked on shows. Is when I started trying
to like lean into the more like you know, cause,
like I said, I'm a South Park kid man, I'm
legit a I'm a family Like I used to watch
these shows on an almost daily basis. Like people say
that they, you know, came up with this stuff, but
it's like I really did come up with this stuff.

(34:39):
So like for me, I'm fully down with like all
the wild, crazy comedy shit. You know, there is a
line where they started getting kind of borderline hateful and uncomfortable,
like but I'm really I'm fully okay with a comedian
on stage trying to get to that line.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, you know what I mean. You know.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
So it's like I didn't have I didn't really have
any of that, but I imagine I might have because like
I don't know, I told her. I haven't told the
story in a while, but I tell the story on
stage about how my stepdaughter made me look like a
pedophile in front of my wife's family. And there's like
some moments where you're like, is this nigga actually a
pedophile in the.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Story, And it's just like.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
And like, I imagine if I would to did that
story back then, it wouldn't have worked out here.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
For sure, for sure, for sure. I mean I didn't want.
I think one of the ones that we were like
some dramatic that happened to you and trying to make funny.
Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I remember that. And
and I was like this like when I was a
little kid. You know how they used to be really
popular to like swing all the way to the top
and then you would jump off. Yeah, you remember the ship.

(35:38):
And I'm like, I was an idiot. The joke was that,
like I was an idiot because I didn't realize that
you're supposed to jump into the like that back into
the payground. Yeah, I jumped the opposite way I went into. Yeah,
I went into the grass. And then not only that,
but there was a fire hydrant right there. So I'm
like I jumped up and I was like I was
a child, bro. I was like, maybe, like you know,
five six, you know. And and and I jumped off

(36:01):
all the way from the top and I landed straight
in the fire hydrant and that's where I got. That's
like a scar right here, and I, you know, I
hit it, you know, I had first busting my ass, dude,
blood straining from my forehead. Dude, and I and we
were just used to live in apartment complex and the
playground was like, you know, still like in a decent

(36:22):
walk from my actual apartment. And I'm telling the story
and I'm like, yeah, I had to like crawl back.
I was like scraping against the walls because I was
like concussed, I disoriented. I didn't know where I was going.
Nobody was helping me out, you know. Nobody gave just
another Monday, just a little bleeding, right And and I'm

(36:46):
like and I'm like telling telling the story how I
got back home. My mom opened the door, she sees
me covering the blood, throws me in the bathtub, blah
blah blah. And I'm done with the sorry, and I'm
like that was making it funny throughout the whole time.
And they're like, hey, man, that wasn't funny. And they're
like and they're like, yeah, remember when I said that
one part when I was like the wrong way, They're

(37:07):
like they're like, nah, man, that was the sad story
story for real, And I was.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Like nobody cared about me and my mother even my
mother wouldn't hug me because he said I was stupid. Yeah,
what's going out here?

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Yeah? That was.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
I did a lot of that similar things to word,
like in my early like standing up when I'm trying
to kind of figure out what to talk about on stage,
like I was, and I was doing a whole lot
of storytelling, but like these aren't funny stories. And there's
funny moments in the stories, but the stories aren't funny.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, you know what I mean. So it's like it's hard, man,
what do you what do you can see yourself now?

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Oh, I've definitely kind of like leaned back into the
like storytelling, but I feel like I've gotten better at
it where I can now like some instructions that I
would always get from my stand up teachers was like
you gotta punch this up, like it might be funny
at the end, but you got forty five seconds of
build up and there's nothing funny in that forty five seconds. Yeah,
I've kind of like fat on my like comfortability where

(38:01):
I can kind of even if I'm just riffing it
throughout the story, I can still kind of make it
funny as I'm getting to the punchline. Yeah, you know
what I mean, And like it's a lot of that.
I do a lot of talking about like my family
and stuff like that, like mainly my kids and my wife.
Like I feel like a lot of aspects of my
commedy you can definitely like if you watch it, aside
from my really high energy, I mean, I guess you

(38:24):
could even with that, you can definitely get like some
maybe mid two thousands, early late two early twenty ten,
like Kevin Hart. You know what I'm saying, I saying
I'm as funny, but I'm just saying like a lot
of my style will kind of like fall. Like I've noticed,
like there's some parallels sure in there, because I realized,
like for me, the funniest, all of my funniest stuff
is me talking about my family. So I really try

(38:45):
to lean into that, you know what I mean, Like
I don't every once in a while occasionally kind of
like make some do some jokes about like reactionary content,
like things that I've seen that I thought are crazy
that I want to share like, but a lot of
the times that kind of falls flat. So I like
I can always comfortably whenever I write something like some
cration happens with my family, I write about it, and
even if I don't try to open like a try

(39:07):
like at my show when I'm hosting, it'll usually do okay,
you know what I mean, it's just like but then
if I like, I have a bit about that I
wrote fairly recently that I've been kind of like like working,
and it's basically about like this one white dude on
Instagram who sprays his hands with dog medicine. Have you
seen this guy? Look, look this guy. I'll pull it up,

(39:28):
but it's literally a guy who, on a daily basis
he sprays his hands with dog medicine because in his
mind he's some fucking karate master. And that's literally what
the fuck it is. Like he's trying to make his
hands tough for you see him like breaking boards and
fucking breaking baseball bats over his leg.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Wait wait, wait, so he sprays dog medic.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Dog medicine on his hands, but if you look at
his two fucking knuckles. They are the ashiest thing I
have ever seen.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
But what is the what is behind that? I have
no fucking idea. What I have no idea?

Speaker 2 (39:58):
That's the point. Like, And he's been doing like his
series at like four hundred and thirty five fucking like
like days, Like he's he's been doing this for over
a year, you know, just on a daily basis, just
for the love of the fucking game, you know what
I mean. He's not training for a fight, He not
doing nothing. He just I mean he uses it to
try to light a match on his head, like you know.

(40:19):
But like I wrote a bit about this guy, and
it's just like the reaction to yourself is fun for me,
But at the same time, I don't feel like it
works all the time.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah, sure, for sure, you know, cause like my my
assumption is like, oh, why is this fat ass, old
white dude obviously going through a mid life crisis fucking
deciding that this is what he wants to do?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Is content about, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
And sometimes when I come up and my wife tells
me a lot of like sometimes when I do bits
like that, my material comes off as ranty, Like I
come up more of like a ted talk than I
come off as a comedian. So I kind of like
dibble and dabble in that, but I mostly kind of
like focus on me in my.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Life, you know what I mean. I mean, if it's
one thing I do well, it's ranty, Like there's some
things that I get on the fucking I'm trained, and
still I can't stop talking shit, I can't like just
one thing, like one thing I hate seeing at the gym,
So I work out a decent amount. And I you know,
as soon as you go to the gym and you
see those people with boxing and like at a at

(41:12):
an LA fitness, and you're like, and I used I
used to I used to box.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
I was a kid.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
I used to do mm A like I did martial
arts growing up. Right, So I have a basic understand
I mean I have maybe a little bit more than
the basic understanding of it, right, not a professional or
anything like that, but I know, put a couple of
combinations again, I coult did a couple of combinations together.
And and I see that I saw a guy today
I was I was working out and he was in
the There was two guys like in the in the
cycle room and he's he's shown him combinations and nothing

(41:40):
makes me mad at nothing makes me matter to see
guys that don't know how to box box, you know
what I mean. I have a boxing background as well.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Like prior to doing comedy, I was like pretty hard
heavy hardcore into like training for boxing like three four
times a week, you know. So I agree with you, like,
and I was a personal trainer to So there's nothing
worse than like a fucking guy at the gym I
thinks he knows everything, Yeah, and like that wants to
come and try to tell you about how you're you know,
there's a little bit of like difference in your arm
where you're doing your bench, like dude, kiss all my.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Eyes any And that's the thing, right because like you know,
you're saying, like when you know something you do want
to be like, hey man, you're doing it wrong. You know,
like with no disrespect you're doing Everything you're.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Doing is wrong.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
But my thing is too, is to like when you're
like in a place like that in the gym environment.
There's so many fucking videos on YouTube. Yes, that one
is like nobody should go up to anybody and tell
them they're doing it wrong, right, because if you're doing
it wrong, then let them do it wrong.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Exactly. I fully agree, And I'm say I'm gonna say
this for the for for all those people. If you,
I'm gonna look into the camera say that, if you
are the type of person that randomly decides that you
want to give advice to niggas at the gym just
because you feel like you know better, I hope a
little kid runs up to you and hits their scooter
into your fucking shins.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Us.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
It's the worst thing ever, Like, leave me the funk alone.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
It's like one, they don't care enough. They don't even
bother waste time right too. Nobody cares about your vice, Yeah, exactly,
nobody cares about your vice. And and me, You're like, oh,
you know, I'm one of the old school heads trying
to this guy's coach is this guy's like he loves
that ship.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
People come up to me to ask because you know,
because usually when I do my bench days, like give
me what I do my bench days at different gyms.
You know what I'm saying, because you know I'm I
usually go for over four him probably looking right now,
My max is four thirty five people see that and
like how did you get there? And what can I

(43:41):
do to get there? And actually I break it down
from like you know, you gotta do this, this is
this A lot of it has to do with the
farm work, your way, you know, towards the wait slowly.
It took me ten years to get to this point guy,
So it's not easy thing, you know what I'm saying.
Rather than I see someone's bench and I go, hey,
you're doing it wrong, dude, I don't do that.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Yeah, people come to me though.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Man, you love it.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
But the younger kids, of course, your kids, like they
see big weight, Like I mean, ask his motherfucker you
get there?

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Nobody can get there? Yeah, there never never.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
Then another fifteen years of struggle, I got to that point,
you know what I'm saying. But yeah, it feels a
little good.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
You know.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
I want to make sure they're doing right to.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
It feels great. I'll be honest, because I've been there.
I've been there too.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
What After boxing, I got into powerlifting, and I got
the power looking pretty heavy, you know what I mean,
Like I think I didn't get nothing super super crazy,
but at my best I could deadlift five fifty amazing,
which vastly majority of people cannot do now there.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Will never be a zero zero zero zero one percent,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
So when they see loading five plates onto a death
and they're like, you know, it draws the attention, you
feel like the man a little bit. You know, they
definitely get it, like a cup grows two inches when
you're talking about, oh yeah, you know, I got a
competition coming up in the summer.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
I'm just trying to make sure I get my ship right,
you know, so I give what you would espec would
a good bench too, Like, yeah, for sure, something about
a good bench makes you feel like a man.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
A bench is probably the most imprisent thing because because
you know people obviously people that can squad. Squad is
a lot harder squad. When people get benched to twenty
five that can squat to twenty five. Yeah, you know
what I mean. And that's sad, that's right. But you
know when you see somebody putting on three plates on
a fucking bar and the fifteen one thing is seems

(45:18):
to people, somebody do to forty five, because that's rare
as it is, Yes, it is mentally rare, it's mentally rare.
And then you have a person who does three fucking
forty five. And now now we're talking about you're an
olympian god.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, you're sucking, are you?

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Demi? God? What's going on here? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Yeah? Oh dude, Like, hey, my boy might be waiting
one seventy, but he puts up three fifteen.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Dude, I don't want imagine that the podcast it keeps
I keep that your personal I don want to talk
about the podcast. That one thing I don't want talk about. No, no,
do it.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
What's your max? Bro? Remember I used to be a
powerful I've competed. It's three different competitions.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Like, yeah, I benched fifteen for the first time a
couple of weeks ago, that's what.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
And you're one seventy so that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
One seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
But still though, you're like one eighty bitch of three fifteen.
Like when I was in my peak shape, I was
like two twenty bitching three seventy five to twenty bitch
of three seventy five and one eighty bitch of three fifteen.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
You're still your beast, That's what I a would say, Demid, Yeah, man,
you were out here. Man, I'm just I'm just an
angry little Mexican. Okay, So what it was?

Speaker 2 (46:20):
If you're an anger little Mexican, what's your squad then?

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Because you're gonna work, we don't know, right, they might
have to take a backroom break. Just like I said,
his squad is fifty that's que is negative negative forty five.
My knees, I mean money, I'm trying to take my knees.
Bro No, I mean no, I mean, I mean right now, garbage,
to be honest.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
But even when, even when you're lifting heavier, So what.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Was it when you were at your best? And my best?
I think I got a three or five real, five real?

Speaker 3 (46:49):
That was four or five?

Speaker 1 (46:51):
No, my de was four thirty four.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Thirty yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Yeah yeah, I mean I hit I hit the thousand
pound club total.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Yeah yeah, especially once again you being one eighty like
stuff like that is a mentally more oppressive. Like I've
been heavy my whole life, so even when I got
into shape, I was still heavy. You know, I'm still
a heavyweight quote unquotas, like you know, these things aren't
as impressive there, you know, so you gotta don't be
afraid to stand out on that ship a little bit.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
No, No, I know. We joke around though, because, like
you know, we all did it for the for like
the glamor of a you know, we want to appeal
to the opposite sex, right, but doing people that happy
upper men.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Yeah, yeah, man, that that fucking sweaty ass, overweight dude

Speaker 3 (53:34):
How big.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
A limit? A limit? There's a limit.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
And also the key thing is they can't be like
they have to have something like they.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Have to.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Pretty face is the main thing for me to have
pre face, No pretty face, I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
I'm sorry, I need to, Okay for me, It's like
they need to either, big bitches, they can't be those
big women who are like fletch, like you see it's
just like three like three hundred pounds, but she wears
like an a cup. Yeah, it's like you can't have
you can't have exponentially more belly than titties. Or ass
like either.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
That's when you're that big neither and there are plenty
of women that.

Speaker 3 (54:18):

Hopefully if she do, we gonna have a conversation. Some
not the but some of the best head I've ever

I haven't had anything to top it.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
Yeah. Yeah, they do it like it's their last because
they need.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
For sure, that's a shitty to say that, but you're
right what it is, right, Like they need to like overcompensate,
overcompensation because a pretty woman can just lay there, she
can just lay there and just look appreciate what I
look like you do all the work. I'm not going
to do anything. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
There's something something about one think about something about a woman,
like looking at you in your eyes and like being
and generally being excited, like generally being excited, grateful thatsition like,
but like literally like she's tucking, like your sucking ball
sack is in her mouth. But she looks like she's
had a amusement park.

much more effort and I'm getting him that love this guy,
and this guy does no effort and gets all the love. Dude,
I'm like, and.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
It's it's it's just a matter of if you want
to even take it a little bit deeper. I was
a philosophy major in college.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Drop it it's a matter of, like you.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Know, coming from nothing and having something to to fucking
damn you know, having something to really value, you know,
think like I said, like with this podcast for example,
like if you told me four years ago when I
or when I was in high school having aspersion to
do stand up comedy, the motherfuckers will be inviting me
to talk about myself on their podcast. I would never
believe you. So the fact that I'm here now is

(58:06):
amazingly grateful. The same thing with that, like you know,
like you may have come from you know, these same
pretty big like pretty big girls might have been bullied
their whole like childhood, called even if they weren't fat
at one time, they're still probably called fat. They're still probably.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Yeah till like.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Those things don't curvey things aren't the thing, UNTI, you're
an adult, even as a teenager and a little girl
like you know, cause you get some you get some
women who have the same body type at twelve and
said they do at twenty two, you know what I mean.
So it's like this, it was like you might but
when you're twelve, you're that little fat girl, but when
you're twenty two, you're curvy or your thing, you know,
you know what I mean, so it's like those, you

(58:43):
know what, you just appreciate things more because you've dealt
with the bullshit, you know what I mean. And when
you get these over entitled bitches, like when you get
these skinny swoll bitches that could yeah, the muscle mommies, yeah, yeah, yeah,
the Wonder Woman Galgadot bitches, Yeah, those you know what
I mean? Those are those are women where you're like,
you're lucky to have them, as opposed to they feel

(59:05):
lucky to have you.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
And I agree with everything you said. I agree with everything,
but I've always been my training to that when it
comes to that, like I don't want to be the
pretty one in the relationship.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
You don't have you say you're gonna be the pretty
one just because you're in better shape. I't mean you're
the pretty one.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
No, no, But I'm trying to say like overall, like overall,
like in like I'm going, I'm going, I'm thinking that,
I'm thinking the thinking of the whole right, oh yeah, yeah,
You're You're never gonna you're gonna daily daily supports, no, no, like,
but you know there's just just when it comes to
me and in this and the girl like I do

(59:43):
want to, like I want to, like physically, I want
her to be better, right emotionally, I'm probably going to
be better or like, personality wise, I'm pire gonna be better,
you know, Like you know, I want her girlfriends to
be like, oh, like hey, oh you're so lucky to
have them all like a great guys. It was just
blah blah blah blah blah. And then I want my

(01:00:03):
guys to be like man, dude, walking girlfriend.

for three years. We've been together for five. Yeah, but
yeah we've been officially married for three And I don't
wear a ring because it fell off, like and that's
why I yeah, like no, that's generally what it is,
like the silicon ring thing, and those are un comfor,

(01:01:00):
Like we had rings and it's just like, you know,
shit just happens. Like my my wife works with kids,
so she can't really have a ring on, Like I'm
at home all day. So it's like, you know, I
wore when I was working, I would wear it every
day and then like one day I kind of took
it off and like never put it back on. Yeah,
it's samely with her, she like took it off when
they just never put it back on. But like I'm
not mad about that. Like my my fucking coming up, dude,

her fiance. I remember her doing it when I was
like six. I also remember her doing it when I.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
Was like fourteen.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
So it's like, you know, like black people marriage, like
just you know, we lived together, we got kids together,
so we're married. So it's like I don't need them symbolism.

Speaker 3 (01:01:39):
You know, it's always about the the tent behind it, right, Not.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Only that, but it's the respect.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Yeah, like we respect each other.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
That's why I don't expect my wife to take my
last name or anything. I'm not mad about that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
I don't have expect Yeah, you know, I don't. I
don't need that, you know what I mean, because it's
like we got what we got, Like we got you
know we have two beautiful children. Again learn ship like that.
The kids have my last name, so who cares?

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
You know? Yeah, how did you meet her? Oh man?

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
This is embarrassing, But it's because I met my wife
on Facebook dating?

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Cool, because.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
You know what I'm only saying. It's embarrassing because I
feel like I look back on my time as like
online dating with such like disappointment.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Hold, I'm twenty eight, Okay, okay, we're I'm thyoty three.
My wife is thirty two as well, okay, okay, okay,
Like I.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Met her own Facebook, I was doing a lot of
online dating, dog like I was trying to tender. I
mainly just trying to use tender and a few other
stuff and never had any luck.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
You know how that ship? Y'all know how I'm living
right now?

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
Yeah? Ride man.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
And at this point, bro, I was in my peak
shape Like I was fit, I was active, I was healthy,
like I was the best I had ever looked.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
You know what I mean? I was.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
I was working a good job. I was working at
Rivers cause see as a dealer was making good money,
so it was making good money. Like I was doing
everything that you would want in a potential partner, you
know what I mean, and still was having like no
luck on to me these dating sites.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
So that's why I look back at yeah exactly like
a brother, you know, like and one man.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
I remember, like I used to work overnights and I
worked six to four point thirty and I remember I
only worked four days a week though, so it was sweet,
like I had, like and the way Rivers does their schedules,
your off days were always consecutive, so I would I
would be off Wednesday, Thursday, Friday every single week, and
that was my schedule for like a year, you know
what I mean. Like, so it was it was super sweet,

(01:03:38):
but you know, working overnights, your fucking schedules fucked. So
you know, even on days that you're off and you're
still up at two am wide away, you know. So
I'm like up at two am. Facebook had been sending
me notifications about their dating thing.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
Yep, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
I don't know if y'all when they when they first
started starting to push it out, they were getting they
were setting up notifications people. They'd be like, oh, you
should try out Facebook dating. Yeah, you're like Facebook dating,
Facebook dating. Something about Facebook dating felt like so low, Well, well.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
Think about this. This is my thought process.

Speaker 4 (01:04:05):
Facebook daty first started as a way to destroy relationships
and all a sudden like hey, you know what, let's
put them back together, put in front of people.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
You know what I'm saying exactly, you know what I mean.
This guy was a beta tester. Right here.

Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
Is what I would say right now, people have their
Tender had Facebook dating baby, because I had Facebook Dating dude.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
I will say from the short time I used facekating
before I match, I match with my wife, the dating,
the amount of matches you got on Facebookating were way
higher the amount of matches that I had ever gotten
on Tender or any of these other apps. So it's like, yeah,
like I said, one night, I was like, you know what,
fuck it? Like I seen the notification, Yeah, literally, and

(01:04:46):
I was like, Nick, I'm tired of being lonely.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Like I'm looking at they see me tearing up.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
To man, I'm looking at the pocket pussy on my
with the one the vibrations ship.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
I got, I got the avatar. That's a whole other story.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
But the quick thing with that was me and me
and my best friend at the time, a girl named Emily.
She me and her on some joking ship were like, oh,
like we were one time talking shit and I was
just like, oh, like you we were both single at
the time. We were like not like like that, we
were just close and she was I was like, bitch,
you need a fucking deal do or something, because obviously

(01:05:24):
you I'm tired of you having an attitude all the time.
And she was like, nigga, you need a pocket pussy
like you fucking up tight all the time. I'm like,
if you buy me a pocket pussy, bitch, I'll buy
you a deal though, and she was like okay, and.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
Then that's why he didn't see the money.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Let's put it together, baby.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
But yeah, you know, sad, like thinking about that, just
thinking about the nature of being a single man, you
know what I mean. And I have this and I
said this to one of my bits, like there's nothing
more sad than a single man, especially a whole out
alone by himself than a single man, you know what
I mean. You say, fucking I'm gonna go and see

(01:06:03):
the Demon hour comedy shows and I'm gonna go and
cry in the shower, and you know, like, there's nothing
more sad than fucking you know, and I was just
in that pit of sadness and I was like, so
fuck it, I'm gonna try it. And like I had
Facebook dating for like, uh maybe like four or five days,
and then the four or five days, like I said,
plenty of matgine. I'm matched with like five different women
and you know, three of them like flaked, one of

(01:06:24):
them was actually super into me. And then I ended
up matching with the woman it would become my wife
and like, and it was crazy because like I said,
she we ended up things. It was different, you know
what I'm saying, Like me and her matched. She had
a kid, and I wasn't bothered by that because I
had all my own money. She had all her own money,
so she wasn't necessarily looking for someone to father her
fucking child.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
She was just looking for like a partner, you know
what I mean. And that's just where it went from.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Like I like, you know, in a week, do you
remember do you remember seeing the picture or seeing the
profile and then thinking there was something there or was
it just like, yeah, you know, i've seen active woman.
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna like her, and and
not a didn't think anything else from that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
But I don't think anything else from it because I
had been so like like be down by tender and
ship like that where you're like, I think this is
you know, we're tender tender for me at least, you know,
I was always the fat kid growing up. So even
when I was all like slim and fit, when I
was like twenty one and twenty two, I still kind
of had those insecurities. So you know, I was still
lowering my standards, like getting bitches that were like beneath me.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
That's literally what I was saying, real shit, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Like I would be matching with like, you know, bitches
that like were beneath me, and I didn't even realize
it because of like me being insecure, you feel me
like real shit and like so for a while I
kind of just gotten to a point where I was
just kind of like swiping on anyone that I found
even a little attract anything with anything with a pulse,
And it was even it was even more of a
swipe if I found them even more track, like oh

(01:07:52):
this is oh she looks good.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
It was the same when I like the one girl
that I had met that I was talking to before
me and my wife match. It was little like a
four day difference between me matching with that one girl
and me matching with my wife. That one girl wasn't
all like cute honestly, she was like she was like
bigging all the wrong ways.

Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
You know what I mean, and like into the fire.
She's like, yeah, you look at her angle like there,
But I don't know. You know what we call those
kind of girls. You gotta get them at the writing, like.

Speaker 4 (01:08:26):
Heybody, eight minutes, you're you're killing it right now.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
Ego, ego, ego.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
But yeah, I was just finding like it would be
like my standards were, like just people that are kind
of it would be between people at least if I
somewhat find your attractive or I really find.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
You, Like for me, it's like I could see myself
sucking you or I can see myself taking you out somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
Yeah, I think maybe that's what I had internalized. I
didn't acknowledge that, but like you know, because yeah, we
matched on there and like it was very and you know,
I didn't think nothing of it at first, because you know,
you met with people all the time and like you
and ol girl talk for two days and show never
text you back, you know what I'm saying, And like
I remember her saying some shit like she pretty much
was wasn't gonna use the appenue. So she gave me

(01:09:13):
her phone number, and I'm like, oh, that's cool, but
that has happened to me before, you know, you know,
people like I'm tired of this tandard shit, here's my number.
Just text me and then my fuckers just never text
you back, you know what I mean, Like doesn't doesn't
necessarily mean anything. So I didn't think anything of it.
But then, like things, we kind of like it was
very mature from the jump, Like it was like, hey,
like I was in a long term relationship from the

(01:09:34):
time I was fourteen, so at the time I was twenty,
I'm twenty two now, Like I have my own job
out of my own money. I'm not trying to just
be out clubbing fucking random white bitches, because I could
definitely be out doing that right now, but I'm not
interested in that. I want something that's cool. I'm very
I'm like a heartless, romantic type of nigga. So it's like,
I like having a person. I don't need six bitches
you know I'm cool with my one.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
And this is everything I was telling her, like in
nicer ways, but this is what I was saying, like
like I'm not looking for casual dating, like I am
looking for something that we can build into a legit relationship,
you know what I mean. And she was on the
same wave. She because my wife had been doing online
dating for years before that, like maybe like a year
or two, so she had done all of them, like
she had the tender bumble.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Yes she did.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
I started plenty of Fish.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
She did plenty of Fish, she did Okay, Cupid okay,
and I think I think plenty of Fish was the one.
Well they all have like some was a free one okay, okay,
Cuban the one we had to pay at one point.
Now they all kind of have like paid. But she
was struggling on those apps for like a year and
a half or two years, you know what I mean.

(01:10:43):
So it was just like she was over it too.
So she was just like, we're very mature with each other, like, hey,
I am open to making this work long term. If
you're open to that, we can keep going. And that's
kind of like how things grew, you know, what I mean, Like,
you know, situations kind of happened in her life that
things went a little left. So literally, my wife, the
woman that will become my wife, moved in with me
three months into our relationship.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
Damn faith, That's what I keep.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
Hearing, man, That's what I keep hearing this when you know,
you know, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Yeah, it was like we didn't know, but at the
same time, we were still hoping to like we had
aspirations to make something happen, and there was a genuine connection.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
It wasn't just like we were just trying ship to
make it work. It was like we genuinely valued each
other's presence even before there was any love going on.

Speaker 4 (01:11:26):
But that's the beauty of it right now, you just
said that that someone was willing to try as hard.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
As you because we joke. So we have a we
have a segment on the podcast that we do every
once in a while, where's Ramon finds Love on Hinge. Yeah, yeah,
and it's me just like reading the prompts a girl
like Lula promp and I'll say something and it's Hinge
and the and gam will ray it and give it
like a two one a time like how good it is? Right,
And I'm like, and we joke around about it. We know,
we do all this stuff and but like, you know,

(01:11:56):
like I took them all the time. I'm like, if
every girl that's not that, if she wants to get off,
she can get out within a couple of weeks. Yes,
it's been a couple weeks with days a couple of years.
And I'm stretching it. Yeah, I'm stretching. I'm saying a
couple of weeks just to play, like, all right, this
is how long you you take if you truly want
to get off, hinch, you want to find a husband,

(01:12:16):
a boyfriend, one of the cases you can do it.
It's not that hard. It's not that hard. There's a
lot of guys trying. You know. We just don't have
to pop, we don't have to delete way to like
you'd be like, you know, like I open my hinge,
I don't have thirty women checking me out, but every
woman has at least fifty guys. Yeah, probably, if not more,
if not more, And on a daily basis, matchup with

(01:12:39):
eight people, and guess how many of us have said
you have pretty eyes, you have a great smile, I
love your dress. Oh yeah, I you know I'm ready
for this. I mean yeah, like, yeah, we'll do anything
you want. Like yeah, we've all said the same ship
just like but like you don't want to get off,
because if you wanted to get off, you would pick
one of these dudes go on a date. Maybe he
doesn't work out. Maybe just like that doesn't work out,

(01:13:00):
but maybe the third guy does. You know what I'm saying,
Like you can get out this, but they don't want
to do They love they love they love that fucking
they love the Yeah, they want to be like you know,
they find me attract They find me attracted, they find
me attractive. It's you know, in many ways, it's it's
it's ruined dating, you know what I'm saying. It's it's

(01:13:21):
not the.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
Dopamine rush that people are just trying to get me.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Yeah yeah, just from that, like the minor bit of
an acknowledgement, you know, yeah you're not wrong, and knowing
that that with.

Speaker 4 (01:13:32):
A combination of you know, social media, with the reels,
with the tiktoks of people just telling yeah I do this,
just to do this this and this or the one
video that Ramon showed me that this girl basically saying, yeah,
guys shouldn't have a roster.

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
Girls should have a roster.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
Though. Yeah, point, She's like, girls should have a roster
of guys. The guys shouldn't need perodize one woman. And
I'm like, how does that make sense?

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
Wait, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
I don't know how it works on the woman's side,
but I agree that as a I think it should
be equal for both.

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
For one person one person, yeah, if you're truly, if
you're truly looking to get a marriage or a relationship
out of it, both people like, Hey, I'm going on
date with this person. So if we go on the
one two three dates, those three dates, I'm one hundred
percent focus on yeah, and three days could be like,
it could be a week, it could be two weeks.
It's not gonna take your whole life, no, not at all,

(01:14:30):
but give the true attent of trying to make you
work before you Like, you know, I'm gonna go on
a date with this guy on Monday, this guy and Tuesday,
this guy Wednesday, but thirty and the thing is too like,
you know, in the back of my mind, I'm like, oh,
I'm competing with two other guys. But I don't know
that I'm competing with two other guys.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
But you know for sure, yeah, you know, fully agree
with you.

Speaker 4 (01:14:52):
You got to be the favorite out of five guys
out days due favorite, the favorite, the.

Speaker 3 (01:14:56):
Most funniest, the best man and the best looking, the best,
the best of the best.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
You gotta have everything in order to just have some
of her attention, because then her attentions not fully on
your dude.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
Yeah, I agree, And that's and then you know, that's
the issues with online dating, you know what I mean,
because it's like or just dating in general. You know
what I mean, because like I know, like the problems
that we're talking about now are only so prevalent because
online dating is in your face constantly, you know what
I mean. But I guarantee you are my fucking uncles,
and like, you know, people from a previous generation had
all the same fucking issues.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
My people were kidnapping people. I have to make my
grandfather and grandmother y'all just kid got kidnapped. What, Yeah,
like in a sense like that would that used to
be a thing in Mexico, Like you would go you
would find somebody you you you know, follow with them.
Well if you got you're like fourteen years old, you
know what I'm saying to say, And then you would
kidnap the girl from their ranch, take your home, get married.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
But but then you'd beat back up with a family.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
Yeah yeah, you get back together. Yeah, but there was
a lot of kidnapping, bring.

Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
Them back like some shotgun weddings.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):

I want to say real quick, but it's funny too
because like you know, we'll say some crazy things on
him just you get some type of appeal I didn't

the a dasty of these women to think that we're
being honest when we say some of the stuff. It's like,

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
Like you know your team are kind of going this way.
I just no, but and I finished on this before.
We'll get you out of here after this. But you
dropped the York at rivers be causeino, yes, right, So
talking about gambling, right, gambling as women gambling money, there
is it's a rig right.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
A gambling Yeah. No, I worked tables, so I was
a dealer, So I worked tables. Do you work black
jack and bakara? I hated dealing with black jack because
black jacks genuinely felt like it was rigged. I remember
there was one time I got a private guy. I
got a guy who wanted to sit alone. You gotta
be spending thousands of dollars consistent, like quickly to get

(01:18:49):
to be like, hey, can you give me just me
at the table?

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
I had a guy.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
He was from London. He had like fifty four thousand
dollars I still remember in his little in those little
clear trays they give you with the chips, like you know,
you can only get one of those trays if you're
spending enough money. And like I, yeah, I took forty
two thousand dollars from him in the course of like

(01:19:14):
two hours. Like uh, In the way dealing works is
you get a break every hour, every like forty minutes
to hours an hour. So I was in in two hours.
That's two breaks, and still came back and kept taking
his money, you know what I mean. And and blackjack
genuinely feels like it's rigged, but it's not. It isn't,
but it feels like it is. Yeah, but it's it's

(01:19:34):
none of the games are rigged. Dog, It's just like
none of the games are in your favor. And that's
just really what people And and even if that real
gambling addicts, bro, they don't give a fuck about that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
Game.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
Literally, it's about the game. It is not about how
much money you make. Because when I end up leaving,
it was right before they went twenty four hours. I
remember I was talking to one of the floors and
that's the name for the managers that walk around, you know,
typically if you go to a casino, you got everybody
in their uniforms, you gotta motherfuck get a suit. Was
washing the tables. They usually refer to them as floors,

(01:20:07):
and like I went to my I remember I talked
to one of the floors. He used to work at
Horseshoe in Indiana. Because that's another thing, little random fact.
People that work at casinos stay at casinos, but they
jump around like most casinos all pretty much a casinos
have tip rates for dealers, and sometimes depending on where
you work at, like you're you might hit like a
weird wall where now you're not making as money as

(01:20:29):
much money as you used to, and that will cause
a group of dealers to migrate to one of the casino.
So like that's what ended up happening with that guy.
But I remember just randomly asking him one day. He
was like, I was like, how long have you seen
somebody checked into one of your tables? He was like, oh,
forty eight hours, like two full days check into this
guy's table, and the only reason he got kicked out
was because he was fucking musty.

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
Yea and and and that's a real thing. I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
That's that's also a real thing. But it's not rig bro,
It's just like you need to know what to play.
I have a encourage people to stay the fuck away
from slot machines. Yeah, completely, if you want to see
some funny lights to some cool little animations and shit
like that. Yeah, kind of like a little kind of
like playing a video game a little bit. By all means,
go ahead and play some slots, but do not expect

(01:21:14):
to be making any fucking money, because like, let me
give you a problem, and I'll give you I'll give
you so many examples because before I was a dealer,
I worked security. So my job was I was you know,
when you win at a jackpot, security will sign off
on your jackpot. When you get to payout, you know,
they sign off on the paperwork. So you have a
security guard right there watching. Yoh, you wont fourteen hundred
dollars to you know, security guys watch. So I've seen people,

(01:21:38):
you know, win. There was a guy, his name was Jim.
He was an old white dude in his seventies. He
only played one hundred dollars machines in high limit, and
like he would there, he would sometimes go over an
hour without winning at all. And he's just putting in
one hundred dollars every time, every spin, So it's like
he has forty grand in his hand and he just

(01:21:59):
put in the machine and not winning and like and
then you see people and then but then there would
be other times where like he's max betting, so he wins,
like back to back jackpots. You know, like the odds
are just not in your fucking favor. The safest game,
statistically speaking, the safest game is Bacca Rod. I've heard that, yeah,
and that there's no and that's there's no, Like that's

(01:22:20):
not a lie. People like like to be like, oh,
Roulette is my game? All love be superps, Like, no,
you're not gonna make any fucking money playing these games.
If you really want to go in there, you have
to be in a very like you have to be
tunnel vision and you come in you play like the
minimum or if it's like twenty five or thirty dollars,
you play that. You make like you get to where

(01:22:40):
you can if you like, say you get to four
hundred and five hundred dollars, you need to get the
fuck out of the casino. Yeah, and you know, like
and that's how you make money. At a casino. You
know what I mean, you know when to leave. And
that is the biggest problem. None of the people start
saying the games are rigged because they fucking have been
gambling for ten hours straight, so they may have gotten up.
They came in a thousand, got up to fifteen thousand.

(01:23:02):
Now they're down to five hundred, get back up to
two thousand, go back down to one fifty. Now they
get down to zero. Now they gotta fucking call a
bank to extend. They're fucking like they like their their
negative balance so they can take out more money, and
then they use that more money to get back up
to five thousand, and like there's all these ebbs and
flows that make you think like, oh I got this
shit figured out, you know what I mean? And man,

(01:23:24):
dog like the superstition from gamblers is so fucking real
and it's so serious, like it like it's not a
joke at all. Like people will literally like confront you.
Like I've seen people trying to fight other people because
you know, when you play yes, yes or no. They
took a stop machine. That's their stop machine. Like they

(01:23:46):
got their little They got to the rivers a little
later that day than they usually do, so someone else
is playing their slot machine. And now we got motherfucker.
Now we've got an old black dude arguing with an
old white woman because he's playing her machine, and like
that's her machine that she goes to every single day
for the last year and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:24:01):
Is there any truth to that?

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Though?

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
When it comes to the slop machines, like warming them
up and getting to a certain point, I believe.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
I mean, it's an algorithm, so there is a so
there is a statistical way to win, but there's no
way to do it consistently, you know what I mean.
Like in a lot of these games, if you really
want to be winning, you need to be max betting.
And even when you get like penny slots, a max
bet is still like could still be like a dollar fifty,
you know what I mean, Like or and then you
get these bigger machines where like a max bet might

(01:24:28):
be twenty dollars, and a lot of the times you
need to be getting those max bets to even.

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
Be in like.

Speaker 3 (01:24:35):
Algorithm in the machine.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
Yes, for the algorithm to even give you like a jackpot,
to even consider giving you a jackpot, you need to
be betting twenty dollars a hand, even though this machine
says you can bet two dollars a hand, you know
what I mean, Like, so, yeah, just stay away from
that shit dog. And like Bacca rot is literally like
what if I like I mean of winning, it's more
than that. It's like forty one or forty two or

(01:24:58):
something like that. Like imagine if I put out a
quarter right now and it's like one of the easiest
games to learn. And imagine if I put on a
quarter right now and I flipped it and I said
pig heads or tails. It's literally like that, like there's
no there's no like there's there are some extra rules
that come. So the way it works is like this.
The dealer will will deal three six cards total on

(01:25:21):
each side, and there's player and banker. You bet on
player or a banker, Yeah, and the dealer will deal
six cards total and it's three cards per side. And
there are certain rules that like dictate if you draw
a third card for you know, you start off with
two cards, and there are certain rules that dictate, like
certain numbers. That's say like oh, if player has four
and banker has six, then you have to draw another card.

(01:25:42):
There's certain rules, and people don't know those rules and
they don't care and they still play. But like, and
all it is is whoever gets closer to nine. So
it's like if you get a seven and a two,
or if you get an eight and a one that
is a natural nine. That means it's an automatic winner,
you know what I mean. And if in a lot
of times, the way they do it is you play,
it's like one you're payout, Like it's like one to one.

(01:26:03):
If you play banker, it's like they take a five
percent commission. So if you bet twenty five dollars, I'll
give you twenty three dollars and seventy five cents. You know,
I take my little dollar twenty five. That's commission, you
know what I mean. But like it's that simple, and
you can just and you can follow the and there's
no trends, but you can just kind of follow what
other people are doing. Like people treat bakar like as
a team game or like y'all all on the same team,

(01:26:25):
even though it's not like that, but like that's what
you're gonna play, because if not, people get superstitions, they're like, yoyo,
what are you doing? If everybody's betting banker and you
bet player. You might be okay, but if if you know,
you will never see divided down the middle, where like
half people are betting a banker, half people are betting player,
and the casinos like feet into the superstition. You'll see
they'll have a machine like he's tracked and it'll be

(01:26:47):
like oh, player, Oh look at player, player that won
seven times in a row. And then you get people.
You get the Asians, especially at Rivers's Vietnamese.

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
Old ladies, old ladies, old ladies.

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
Man, those men. Rivers, there were two loan sharks who
were both small Vietnamese women. One of them was probably
like no Exeter, she was probably like four ten, like
the the you know like, but she was a fucking
loan shark, like she was the one you went to
if you fucking ran out of money, and she would
fucking punt like you know, pressure your ass if you
didn't pay her whole time, you know what I mean.

(01:27:20):
It was just crazy like.

Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
So yeah, I know that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
Sorry, I bro outside of comedy, I could talk about
fucking being a dealer. Yeah, and I saw the sad
ship that comes with that man, like I mean, like
I said, people checked into the tables for days fucking
having to kick people out. Well for bio hazards. Bio
hazard is literally just a musty nigga at a table.

Speaker 1 (01:27:41):
I appreciate that. What was it for It was ten
It was like ten.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
Fifty six or something like that because we use like
police code, so it was like ten two if you're busy,
ten to four of just a copy like ten six
was like you're going on break, like you know what
I mean, Like and you have like it was like
ten twelve or something like that. If someone was a
bio hazard and managers had to handle biohazards. So it's
like if you got a motherfucker that just needs to
wash his ass, like literally the supervisor goal up and

(01:28:09):
be like, sorry, so you need to leave, you know
what I mean? If this is if you got if
you on dice and you still turn to roll, finish
your little roll and then you done, you know what
I mean, you gotta you can't come back.

Speaker 1 (01:28:19):
You know that's hilarious. That's hilarious, man. I mean, which
we had that. I wish you had that ruin at
the gym. Oh the individuals man.

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
That especially at like public gyms. Man, I used to
work out at BMW in Rogers Park. I don't know
if you ever heard of it. So BMW is a
gym has been around since the nineteen seventies. It's they're
a big powerlifting gym, okay, and like they have some
strong mess up. They're mainly know for powerlifting. Like uh,
they were like a nationally sanctioned like place for powerlifting
for the USAA at one point.

Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
I think they got kicked out or something like that.
But like, yeah, they did that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
And like, man, those corporate gyms and that gym too,
like just the nasty motherfuckers out of I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (01:29:03):
It's like they have a fight against the Yeah, they
don't even it's a fight showers him and them and
the odorant, not even on speaking to speaking, it's against religion.
