Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, we drinking the episode before we forget because sometimes
we don't have Rambo here to help us correlate this.
But we're drinking a gen tonic with a little bit
of blueberry, just kind of give it a little bit
of pink pink flavor or look, but it's a classic tonic.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
The first drink we've had all night.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Number one. We've all worked all right, we're still going.
We're still going.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Dude, they didn't see the four locals, but we're good.
We had an idea once of doing a podcast where
we drink all the drinks we've had on the podcast.
So we've had quite quiet amounth dude from you know,
from all flavors.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Don't think we haven't had it as any vodka.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Flavor drinks, but we've had whiskey, mescal, rum chaka, yeah, yeah, ogado,
you know, and then like this shooting apples, but we
just like go through one of them. But then I'm like, well,
we have a liver, you know, family, family, people that

(14:07):
care about us.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
But the thing is, hey, the thing is that when
we do actual cocktails, cocktails, it's a heavy cocktail. It's
two to three shots minimums.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Yeah, you do hide the liquor, well, but this one
keeping it light just.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Because don't Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
You've been a twister back there, Yo, you've.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Been like, you know when when we had those guys hits,
they drink with us. But sometimes we have people on
the podcast and we try to usually give him a
bread down. I don't know if he gave you a
breakdown at.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
All, just getting him like were talking rap.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
But we told him like, hey, looks for the podcast.
You know, the same thing like a rundown the Demon
Hour kind of you know, hey, the podcast is a
drinking podcasts.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
You know, it kind of goes wherever.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
It treated like a bar conversation and treated like a
you know, just having to drink of your voice. You know,
we don't have a we have segments that we do
in the podcast here and there.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
There's no objective.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
There's no objective, yeah, besides having a great conversation. But
but something prime with drinks.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
I mean, just lowered the lighting. I'm like, I thought
we had lights. No, I don't worry about that cuz
he makes sleepers.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Deep cut.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, that's actually.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Cosby smiling.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
So we had someone except somewhere bills lying yeahs wide away.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Now by the way, that guy is killing the man.
Really theme your drinks then, so that it's different. So
we've had drinks that I've invented.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
That's like a bunch of them that I created it
from my own recipes. And there's ones that are just
like like no fashion, you know, Moitos.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
You know, there's.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Another ideas that you know we've taken. We added one
or two more different things, just kind of put them
a little bit more off behind it and it works,
you know what I'm saying.

Yeah, we don't miss how did he's involved this?

Speaker 4 (20:19):
I don't know how he came along. You started, somebody's
did got this conversation?

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, somebody least. And so then we're like cool and
we're cool. But he wrote back he answers, right, you know, cool, thanks,
you know, thanks for letting us know, right, and then
we were like, just reach out to Alfred right up
becoming up becoming Yeah, but we have seen enough clips
with him.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
We're like, it'd be cool, bring him out here. We
hit him up. He agreed, right, and we're like cool.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
We're like, he's like, well, he's like I asked for
his SI this, this, and we're like, cool, we can
get that, you know. We we agrean them that we're
going to pay him. We got him the flight, we
were getting in the hotel, all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Right.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
How far we were from the show.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh, dude, I think we're a month a month away
from a month away happening.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
So we're going to start promoting, right, yeah, getting we
we had we had just finished the fly work on
the fire. We started really good promoting, you know, get
all the poster flyer go to businesses all around Maywood,
put the ship up. You know there in motion, do
everything right, and then last minute, like he cancels on us,
and he.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Said stuff storty stuff, tickets already bought. Yeah, like we
had stuff already done.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
And he told us that he's like, hey man, sorry,
I won't be able to come. He's like I got
offered like a part like in some like a movie
or something show or something like that, and it's I
just can't make it to the show. And we were like, look,
it sucked. You know, we had already lost money because
we have bought tickets for the plane, and and we

(21:51):
were like, well, at least he told us. At least
he still gave us like a he was he didn't
cancel like last minute. He catch like so a month ahead,
you know. And I'm like, we're not here to stop you, man.
If you had a great opportn you know, thank you
for letting us know appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
At least use the hot album for a free cough.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Real quick.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
That's one thing, yeah, the one thing we can cancel
the ticket. Yeah, that was why we couldn't. We didn't
even get a credit for it.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Did we have no credible nothing right and cool?

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Fuck it.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Then literally that same month that he would do our show.
He was here doing the show for Zandi's yea. So
it wasn't that it was that he was like Zany's
big opportunity. He's found a bigger opportunity, for sure.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
But we had a man's word. Does not care away anymore.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Because man's word, but also being like, hey, we're Latinos.

Speaker 7 (22:43):
Honestly, I don't even I don't I don't even care
about that. That that is for me, you know, like
for me, it was just like we had already green
my dude, like things were already moving in place.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
You know, we had green amount that you wanted to
get paid, you know what I mean? Everything was right,
but the the term for ridden everything was good. Obviously
we didn't have a contract with them. You can still
kind of word of mouth, but we were like, we
have an agreement with you.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
At least, hey, man, I did one month of business law.
That's a legal contract, a verbal.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Agreement, verbal agreement, verbal agreement.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
It's hard approven court if you want to take it there.
But technically, I mean, we had we had a conversation.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
And yeah, there's text. There's text, and.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
It could be on the napkin dog of the day,
as long as there's an offer and an acceptance that's verbal.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Or written, as long as it's not actual, there's actual
data the show, it's yes, it's valid.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, it's valid.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Need legal representation. We got a case stuf. We could
have we we could probably got that route, right, but
it's small.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, and I'm like, I'm not gonna yeah, right, but
just give me a Southwest flight to Florida?

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Even can we get for tickets to the shows?

Speaker 3 (23:52):
PA?

Speaker 1 (23:52):
At least give some freaking free tickets? But no, yeah, obviously,
you know, then we realized it wasn't it wasn't that.
There was that that he got opportunities. And then once
you lock in those zanies, the laugh Factories, the improvs,
you can only perform there if you're if you're doing
if you're doing like uh like feeders to kind of
change his things, right, then you're allowed to go to

(24:13):
the the big Feeder.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
You're allowed to go to all the all the other
ones that the case who's given permission comedy Madfields.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
So there's an unspoken word right between Lincoln Lodge, Sanes
and prof Right, those are the dream main clubs in Chicago, right,
you know? So and then they have their second comic.
But the comedic my comic got going before with your show.
You know what I'm trying to say, like not like

(24:43):
a non compete. Yeah, sometimes you know you would think
that they could like kind of still work off each other.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
I mean still an exposure, jealous ex girlfriend, like you're
sure crazy, sure, here's Chicago, not shocked. So and that's
what it is.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
And it sucks because you know, like that would have
been a great opportunity for us, man, you know, it
would have been amazing to have and then we would
have sold off for sure. We wouldn't make money. Everybody
would have made money. You know, you know who knows right,
who knows where that takes us? You know maybe uh,
you know, maybe not different.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Chapter, but you know it would have been a great,
great moment, a great win w belt right, you know
I sometimes you need that l too, though, right, Yeah,
humble your ass. Let you know.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
You want more else, Bro, I'm tired.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
It's not Friday. Check it out him on Friday.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
I don't feeling great.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's still early. We might be stuck at time. Wait
till Thursday.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Bro.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
But even with that, I get you, like we could
lament the missed opportunities, bro.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
But I think at the end of the day, like
even if you believe in God, you believe in anything, like,
you gotta take L's right.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
You need to face adversity otherwise you're not going to
level up.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
You need to get your ass knocked off to realize.
Sometimes you learn more from your losses than your wins, bro,
Because you win, you can get cocky. You start to think,
is what it feels like?

Speaker 4 (26:08):
What it feels like? And now you get on the road,
you take that bat ass l and now you know
how to bounce back. I think, yeah, bro, Like it
all hurts, right, it's between it was it not? You
did what you had to do. You control the controllables. Yeah,
the one sets out of your hands. Bro, It's like,
how do I bounce back? How that worked from here?

Speaker 5 (26:25):
And yeah it hurts, but that should drive you further
or you quit a lot of people quit, and that's
what makes the difference for sure. For sure, I think
with that is like we're just moving, bro, and I
don't know, I see how that could be a move.
But see now it's a story because you're.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Like, damn, you gonna remember that for a minute. Yeah, yeah,
it's in there.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Man. It's like we you know, like I said, a word,
word means a lot still, man, I mean.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Us and like I said, I don't have any any
We got beef for we got beef, but nobody with
a cowboy had That's yeah, I don't got guns.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
It's good.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
But at least we understood that. What it was so
like that was our lesson that we were like, also,
there's a mafia here. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you know
what I mean. It's not you.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Needed that to spot. Otherwise it would have been in
the grass. You needed that, Yeah, because lesson.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Early on, because even like when you think about like
you know, recipes, our boy Kemp Flores, he started a
laugh factory, right, he made the him Renee did the
Latin Excel show, and it was probably it was probably
laugh Factory's number one on the show when they were
when they were the duel that we're running it together, right.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
But then once.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
You know, he started getting invited to Zany's, He's not
doing laugh Factory, m right.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
His name was so so said bar.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
First he did a whole weekend a comedy bar. In
that moment he was getting big.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
And then after comedy bar, because he was like, hey,
they don't don't pay.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Good Yeah that yeah, but then the laugh Factory thing
was over. Yeah really yeah, listen to what I remember.
I might I mean there might be some details missing.
I don't know I quotas, but from what I remember,
and you know, he ended up just doing Zany's obviously
a bigger room.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
I mean, especially it ain't the new one in Rose
mat where it's you know, the big room.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
It's kind of based like an improv. You've been to
the comedy improf and Shomberg heard about it. Never been okay,
but it's a big room. It's it's uh, it's you know,
it's built for.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Comedy, right, It's like one of those anglize Schomberg just
sounds like a city I don't want to go to.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
I'll go there for the comedy bar. But Shomberg like
not to be hated, but that sounds like, yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, it's it's it's a it's a richer area for sure.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
Man, it's just now it's just regular I think security
guards following me around. But I could go to Chicago
Ridge Mall for that, Like I gotta go to Schomberg.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Yeah, but I heard about.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
The next is right there at the field mall. I
know you heard.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Heard about it. Never man, I got traveled war with
him my own city dog.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Like it's crazy that Ken did Latin Excel, right,
because that's the first time I ever got booked on
a Laugh Factory show and it was after Ken has
ever been on it.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Yeah, it was Rubing Renee and who was on it.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
So yeah, they took over once Kevin or Kevin Ken
went to move that a they took over.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
That's my legacy matters though, bro, Like even with you
see I'm learning about this first time ever, I'm like,
I'm gonna go to all three at the end of
the days. Like if it wasn't for even with Canon
them built, Bro, I would never I still say they
have not been booked on La Factory outside a Latin up.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
The first time I said that stage outside of open
Mic was because of what the homies built.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
And it's like even though they move on to different ventures,
like He's still built that. Had he not built that,
it's like, I'm still over your weight, So I don't know, And.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Even there will things afterwards about how they were running
it behind him. Yeah, but like the things, I mean,
the things we could tell you that you'll be like,
what the fuck? You know what I mean, there's there's
like there's details with been even that there where we're
just like that, you're like this, I mean we I
mean we told we told Ken we were like this
is crazy without getting into it, but we were like, bro,

(29:56):
this is making the sense.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
It was like there's a dark scene is a b
oh for sure? For sure? I mean yeah, I mean
like we like yeah, I mean, we won't shy away
from com yeah, like except where you know, I'm trying
to be Switzerland. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, we.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Won't work with everybody. We won't work with everybody fight.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
I mean, even like I said, even even saying that,
like we we get the opportunity of running our club,
we we will compete, ass that we will compete.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
We'll compete, but it can be hard because like I said, sure, yeah,
we could run good small shows, but in the day,
you do need those headliners to come and come to
your club and still tickets, right, you want you want
the the Roadblaze to come through.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
We want the roup for both.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
I mean, those guys are big now to do Feathers
and arenas, right, but even then mid mid tier comics that.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Are still there's always gonna be midier comics. That's it. Yeah,
that's it, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
But you know, so you're compete with the improv, you
compete with the compete with the laugh factory. You think
independent club can't get to that level?

Speaker 4 (30:55):
It's hard, dude.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Back back to possible Yeah, back to the click black,
to the clicknversation.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Right, but go ahead, I.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Would say I would say yes. But then look at Rogan.
I mean Rogan's Theater up in Awesome. It's huge because.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
It's Rogan for sure, Brogans.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
It is different, right, And what's the second one, the
one right across from it? It's the other club? Well,
who about it we're talking about? No, Well, some other
comedian by another.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Redman Repin has a club like across the street too,
but again.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Its associations at each other and they allow people to
do one show and go run to the other show,
and then workers can go back and forth.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
So it's just like a connection there, right.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
But here, Oh, I know for sure, if we were one,
I think they would try to stop us before even
get into that point, you know what I mean, there
would be I think there would be conversation within the
shadows of them going like shadows shadows shadow of Chicago,
bring it back.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Would be like if you go, if you go out there,
you can't you can't come back. Yeah, because they.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Don't want to compete.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
I mean, nobody wants to anything.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
But like I said, we were talking about earlier, everybody
can eat everyone can It looks is your own fault.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
My thing is also is with that competition, you're always
going to be working in in shitty I mean rundown
places like you know, we talk about it. I mean,
lack factor could be so much better, but then it's
not so much old blood is still there that they're
not bringing in new ideas, they're not innovating.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
I think that's why it shocks me to hear that
there's this competition where it's like noncompete, where it's like
I've seen dudes that like you could be at Chicago
with you to one day and the basement doing power
hour the next day for sure, know what I mean,
It's like it's comedy bro. At the end of the day,
if you want to sharpen your craft, you still got
to go to the rooms where it's like this is
where you build a craft and then you take it
to the game.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Well, once you get to a certain level of ticket sales,
like hey, we want to control that market. That's it.
And just control the market. We want to get through
that money, simple as.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
That, dude.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Like every time, every time we're so sometimes our show
lines up with other shows that are going around in
the city, right or even in Schomberg, and and you know,
so we always correlate to see what's going on there,
not that because Schomberg is still distanced. So luckily Chicago
has their comedy crowd that people audience members that want
to come see the show. Right, but thet say a

(33:19):
bigger comic will do show improv and then you know
they'll start promoting it.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
You know, put the flyer out there, Blaine Blaine is
going to be here. Cool tickets are a blank blank whatever.
They started like at thirty dollars.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Three weeks in tickets down to ten dollars, and I'm like, fuck, dude,
and then I'm like and then again a week of
free tickets.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Show shot here.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's here, and it's like it's just here.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
And and it sucks because I'm like, and then and
I'll start correlaying with our ticket selves because I'd be like,
I'm like, damn, they're kind of going through a rough
Like last show, like our show was, you know, it
was struggling up until Basic seven o'clock, right, and then
there was a show another comic.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Was I forgot what it was.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
There was a show in the city, but.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
It was a comic that I know's I know, I
know his face. I don't necessarily know his comedy, but
I know he's a comic. I know he's been doing
comic for a long time. And I was like, man,
he started at thirty dollars, went down to ten, and
now they're like free.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Tickets, free tickets, show just please.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Yeah, I hear your first rink, just comedy. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
And I'm just like, ship dude.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
I'm like and I'm like, maybe that's why we're struggling too.
I was like, he's struggling sell tickets. We're struggling show tickets.
It's that summer summer struggles.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
I'm in Milwaukee.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
They're basically giving away tickets. Man, unless you're top top
of the food chain. They're basically giving away tickets to Milwaukee.
Dude at the improv there.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Dude. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
Maybe I might be too idealistic when it comes to this,
but I'm a big believer in just because they can't
do it doesn't mean you.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Can't do it.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
I agree with that. But there's a trend. Got to
understand the trend because.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
In July we should have we should have, we should
have just took that advice don't do comedy in the summertime, Milwaukee.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
We still have to take that l For example, if
you take people first half, how many times people say,
don't leave home, it's scary out there, but they never
left home. How can you take somebody's advice right when
it's like they've never done what you're trying to do.
At the end of the day, the only way you're
gonna get this by getting out there, sucking up, and
then learning.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I think one of my first things, one of my
favorite sayings that keeping my head is you be keeping
ship at bay. What's the whole one? Having a ship?

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yeah, ship was supposed to fill the waves.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Motherfuckers got this ship anchored though. Yeah, Yeah, it's scared
to leave, bro because the conditions ain't right, bro.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
At the end of the day, they're never gonna be
right exactly. I know.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
I feel like the way you speak of this comedy club.
At the end of the day, Bro, I'm a big
believer in I don't keep anything. Anything I learned, whether
it's reading life, my fuck us, my logo, my accomplishment,
I'll share any of it because if I can help
you move along, great. But you could give a thousand
motherfuckers the same recipe and a thousand people gonna make
that recipe different.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
That's true.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
At the end of the day, the chef matters, and
it's like, why am I going to keep something that
can help this person another person? Sure it might not
get them nowhere, but fuck it. If I could just
give you a little tipit of advice.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
But I don't know.

Speaker 5 (36:21):
But I think we're in the space now where even
with this, we're creating. We're in a creating space. Like
you got a fucking purple glow light over here? Who
got that ship?

Speaker 4 (36:29):
Nobody? Nobody? Bro, Like you got them Fluss and Frank
Sinatra in the same room. You're different. Yeah, we are building.
I got Star Wars yea, And yet they're still talking
about the similar concept because against it was the rebels
versus the Empire.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
We all live in the same space. It's all connected,
and I think at the end of the day, we
could keep pointing to why it hasn't been done and
realize why don't we just do it? Yeah, and you
go for it, bro, and you're gonna fuck up, You're
gonna fail. But your idea I'm just hearing more times
as many times as it takes. I don't have any
I don't have any We have a.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
We have a running joke on the podcast. We call
it the Golden Rope. This sounds promising, like like things
don't work out. We have the rope, man, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
We find a big enough tree with a strong enough
branch and we wanted to get a rope that's been
in the gold and having a break emergency glass.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
You know it. These don't work out, just break this.
But just like a reminder, dude, like a reminder to
be like, hey man, this doesn't work. It's funny.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
Similar concept. I just ran on my way here because
you're supposed to read while you drive, right.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (37:46):
It was this thing that talks about basically like find
the inner warrior within yourself. But the first chapter is
called burn the boats.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Yep, that whenever you go.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
To war, if you really really want to win, once
you get there, burn the boats so you have.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
No escape plan while because as long as you have
Plan B, your mind will still always think about Plan B,
which is an escape out. You're not fully committed. So
long as that doubt lives in your mind, burn the
fucking boats. Either commit or take your ass back.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
The boats will carry the logs man, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:14):
Exactly, carry water chop would end of the day. Bro's like,
somebody got to do it, and yeah, that rope is
going to be there to remind you. But Bro, that
has been there all the long.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
This is something we're talking about last week and on
the last episode of Rambow that that comedians in Chicago
don't have the mentality man, because they don't try to change.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Up their set. You know, we settled before we we
know people sets verbatim word for I'm like, Bro, we've
been in the game for as long as you have
and you're still doing the same set.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, there's a couple of guys that I'm just like, Man, dude,
I'm like, you're still doing this joke, Yeah, it hit,
son' give it wrong your heads?

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Yeah, where's the new stuff? Where's the new stuff?

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Man? Like, I know you're funny, obviously, I know you're
funny because this joke you made a joke work, yeah,
but not like show me what else?

Speaker 5 (39:00):
So I think for me, that was a struggle early on,
when I was even asking myself like, hey, am I
doing something wrong by trying something different? It wasn't till
and it's funny because there's different like schools of thought, right, like, yeah,
I'm big on quotes and shit, I think it's Bruce Lee.
Don't quote me on that, but he talks about he
doesn't fear the man that practices yeah, right, a thousand
moves once, he fears the man that practiced one.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
Move a thousand times.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
And even with that, started realizing, Okay, there's a method
to this madness. But then I started noticing that trend
where I'm like, no, bro, like you go to Mike
to Mike to Mic and it hits.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
You know, it hits.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
Why are you still trying the exact same thing? Like
are you trying to impress this crowd or are you
trying to get better at your craft. And that's why
even I started looking at myself where it's like, nah,
fuck that, bro. You could be different, you could be
willing to try and fail each time, and sure you
might not impress this crowd, but it's all going to
add up to that final level that you're trying to
get to, which is I'm trying to be different.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
Hell fuck, I'm not trying, bro, I'm being myself.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
And that's different because most people are over here trying
to copy and paste, copy and paste, and as long
as you keep trying to copy somebody's yourself, yeah, bro,
there was too much of that. And I see that,
and I'm like, kid, okay, bro, And just because you're
doing that, don't mean I gotta do that, because if
I do.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
What you're doing, I'm gonna stay stuck where you're at.
I don't want to be there, bro, no shade, but
I see where people are at.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
I don't want to do what you say though, Man,
that you're you're the creative, you're in the creative space.
You have to take those those chances. Man, It's uh
what you say, it's the word of God. It's God
talking to you.

Speaker 5 (40:22):
Those creative hunches, right, it's The creator within yourself is
when you're being at your artist self, it should create yourself.
And I don't know how religious your basis, but you
say you're a Catholic, boy.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
I don't know about you. Has do behind him and
shout out he's a special guest next week, bro.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
But yeah, like I started reading the book the Artist
way is we're talking about beforehand, and I ain't gonna lie, bro.
That book completely altered my path because it helped me
unlock something within myself that I didn't know was blocked
all along, just viewing myself as an artist, not waiting
to be validated as an artist. Nobody's come along and say, wow,
your comedy is art. But as long as you paint
it as such in your own mind, you'll get there.

(41:05):
But how do you get there?

Speaker 4 (41:07):
It's not by copying nobody else. Picsto didn't go and
start saying how are they doing it? And it started
trying no, no, no, the coll just dance thing and
that's why he's Picasso. So what I found is again, God.

Speaker 5 (41:17):
Is the creative and when you feel a creative urge,
your instinct to create, that's God speaking to you. And
you can either listen or let it go. All wa
It's a cool thought. The way you honor God is
in that moment, acting on it, put it into the world.
Fuck the criticism, fuck the judgment. But that's it when
you're at your best. And I found even my own
journey's like, when I just took that risk, Bro, you

(41:37):
gotta be willing to fuck up. And when you bomb
and each ship, I'm sure y'all, especially you.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Brood killing killing, So I got that with my name.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
He's like, if it ain't so down, he's not showing
up Erica ship. Nah, bro, But it's like, when you
bomb this ship, I ain't gonna lie. But it's one
of the worst feelings I think I've never enconcert. And
you'll go into your car right after and like, think
about what the fuck am I doing. It's that expressionless
look on people's face. And yet if you choose to
come back the next day and change it or fuck it,

(42:16):
even go for it again and just to see what happens,
and then it kills in that room.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
All right, cool? So what is it at the end
of the day.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
If you don't keep trying, ship, you're gonna stay stuck
in the same place. It's gonna be two years, five years,
ten years.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
And if you want to stay stuck there, good, ain't
gonna be me for sure, for sure, dude. I well,
I'm I'm never a bombed, but I haven't done enough
comment to bomb, right, Like I'm like I said, n no, no,
but like it's like I haven't killed every time, but
I've never like bombed, right, But I did buy them
on adule date once.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Remember it was it was me.

Speaker 3 (42:52):

Wait, you said you in relationship, right, how long you
been in relationship?

Speaker 4 (50:29):
All about like two weeks? Oh about about the cameras,
I'm sure we are about two years right now. Incredible man,
very nice, very nice.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Early.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
I think it's funny because we were ready like kind
of doing a thing before the comedy journey started. And
I ain'taize it's kind of funny because when I first
met her, I was like, hey, I do comedy.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
I've never done an open mic I.

Speaker 5 (50:56):
Was feeling her, and I was like, you know what,
if I tell her I do it, maybe I'll actually
go out and do it. Okay, six months later, go
by it and she's like, oh, it can't come to
a show.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
Signed up for the laugh Factor the next day though,
Yeah no, but I started and I think I was
like about a month two months and when it was
all right, cool, I'm doing it, and then we went
official with it, and yeah, bro, every since she's been
there every step of the way.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Such a rare, rare You.

Speaker 5 (51:23):
Go on my Instagram, like all my pictures, like, she there.
She supportive, Like if I suck, she'll tell me I'm
still great. Not supportive bro like, and I felt I'll
be honest, I wouldn't be where I'm at without that support.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
So that's why it's like, I tell the homies, do
you know, wait your turn, this is a blessing. Yeah,
you don't get that. Did you meet her like naturally
in the wild or was it on an app?

Speaker 7 (51:48):
No?

Speaker 4 (51:48):
At work at work, which is crazy, like, don't ever
do that, don't know for sure? For sure, the worst
advice of it, bro, We're crying at work and ship
like for no reason. Taking three hour lunch breaks just
to cry, but like mainly crying. No, bro, it's just
when it happens organically like that is. Even now, it's

(52:09):
still we work some stuff, you know. I mean it's hard,
especially she sees me in my lowest, my highest. Yeah,
and yet they keep you grounded, bro, like you need
to support this stuff for.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
A woman to see you what we said it for
for women to see it at your lowest, and they're
still sticking around. I mean, like you said, that's it's
a rare thing. You know what I'm saying that is
that is a that's a real cord dude. That's saying miracle.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Dude. Yes, that's not happy. It's not happening. That's not happening, dude.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
Or get premium prescription on back pages. We had to
get some oil on that mic. Dude.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
It's like every w forty like I'm like, it's never creaking.
It's like now, it's like every moment.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
It's not just touch stuff. It's cool. It's the drink.
So I got touching. It's fine, No, no, no, it's
the mic. Make it mad.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Okay. So you've been with her for two years, all right,
so how's the game. Before you you met her, you were.

Speaker 4 (52:59):
Trying to get the demons out.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
I gotta I gotta ask, like, you mean, hey, we
have we're struggling, Like what was it? You know you
have the roster, bro I got you though, Okay.

Speaker 4 (53:08):
Roster talking about practice practice, We talk about practice.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
That's practice for the real thing. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (53:15):
I think it's it's crazy. I feel like throughout my life,
I never really focused too much on dating. Like I
was either single going to my bash and phase, and
then I end up in a relationship, and as I
was in that, you find yourself dog in ways where
it's like even now, I'm still battling with demons as
oh ship, I saw how they surface in past relationships.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
It's like I don't want them to surface now.

Speaker 5 (53:35):
So even then, I feel like every relationship was always
just a learning experience, you know what I mean. Like,
there's some very bad downs, but I don't blame them.
I hope they don't blame me.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
But I saw their work. I'm like, I can't speak.
Oh for sure, everybody.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
Narcissist was the way and.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
They're leaving it out still.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
Yeah, reality is like again, but you live and you learn,
and I think from my and I found forgiveness matters
the most. Where it's like, you gotta forgive people wrong
you for sure, you don't forgive yourself for the process.
You're gonna stay stuck in that cycle and you're gonna
keep attracting the same bullshit.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
And I've seen people like friends that have been in
cycles of relationships and they dating the same person over
and over and won the way I don't work no more.
And then they finally gonna find themselves.

Speaker 5 (54:21):
They do something else, something different, start dating a white
dude and find out they suck too, And it's like,
all right, yeah no, bro, just just be yourself, Bro,
don't rush it again.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
We thirty three, thirty four, bro, young dog, the old
way of thinking again. People getting married in nineteen twenty.
But how were you at that age, twenty dude?

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Yeah, peak, prime, dude, s prime.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
We were fucking, That's all I was. I wasn't cramping
when I was hearing it from the bag. He's let
me beat you. He'd hurt my feet. You didn't need
the sandals back then. It didn't worse. As soon as
I moved out here. They orthopedic the diabetes and.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
It comes with matching socks when I wake up my feet. Yeah, right,
the whole thing comes out. I love that you Yeah,
but no, that's good, man, that's good. But I'm glad
to hear that, dude, because it's it's a it's a
fucking weird word right now, dude, it's it's you know,

(55:33):
it's funny.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Man. We Hey, you gotta propose now at this point.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
You gotta locker, locker now. But there's there's a lot
of people, you know, you know on the dating apps.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
You know, people would be like, oh, yeah, looking for something,
you know, something real some things, but like no, but
like I have this thing that I've stayed multiple times
at this point where I'm like, if a girl wants
to date somebody, you can date somebody pretty quickly.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
It's not that hard. Like for men it's a little harder.

Speaker 7 (55:58):
You know.

Speaker 4 (55:58):
We gotta like, you know, get approval, you know, charm them, courtum.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
You know, we got to do a couple of things, right,
if you want to date, not sleep, Right, if you
want to sleep somebody could a little bit more simple.
And then depending where you want to fall on the
you know, if you wanted to go down, you know,
down to the four fives. Yeah, clean up, spot spot
the same. Yeah, you know, it's a it's the island
of misfits. You know what I'm trying to say. You know,

(56:26):
but but you guess your name. But if you want
something real like, you can find it. It's not that hard, man.
It's good guys, there's good women, you know.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
But you have to be open to it. And a
lot of people they say they're open to eighty, but
not truly and.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
Then they're they're following the same list have been following
the last six times. It's failed. You going the same thing.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
Nobody wants to.

Speaker 5 (56:48):
Deal with their demons, and that's the back to the
repetitive cycle that people keeps blaming the outcome, not really
seeing that they have it.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
They're treating the symptom, not the cause.

Speaker 5 (56:56):
And even again I can only speak for myself, I
find that even like my relationship right now, it's flourished
because I finally chose to address myself, finally chose to
even chase his dream, bro the comedy dream I feel
like had always lived within me and as long as
I repressed that, it's yeah, I write some ship along
the way. It says, any negative emotion that you repress

(57:16):
always resurfaces as a negative emotion, like a negative reaction.

Speaker 4 (57:20):
So and you can ask Diddy about that ship, bro,
you hot ship. It's gonna come up.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
In an ugly way.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
Free Diddy Man Justice. He wrote Bad Boys Live Man
talking about about Justice.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Dude, you mentioned this earlier, the whole Vanessa Bryant being
pregnant is that real?

Speaker 4 (57:50):
That's real, dude, I gotta say, dude, I feel her
by it.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
I think everyone that's a Kobe fan. Yeah, it's like,
what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (57:59):
No, but it's it's been but it's fair and it's
nothing wrong with it. But in the same time it hurt. Yeah, no, no,
my breyfriend out, old body brefriend out. And especially if
that dude lives in l A. You're the most hated guy.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Shouldn't Beeltics fan unless you're so.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
Yeah, I mean, like you need LA you know, they're like,
you know, root for you, right, But it's like I
get it.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
And Kobe's nast, dude, and Kobe's nast.

Speaker 4 (58:27):
Kobe's bad.

Speaker 3 (58:28):
I don't know, you know, he still does everything for me.
The state is on her.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Spending Kobe money that makes me a little better and
I'm getting matter.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
I'm getting matter was matter. Yeah, but yeah that list
that guy that hey man, move on man, right she
sves to be happy six for five white guy from
that should be Yeah, I was. That was a little
a little bit, a little little sorry taste our tea

(59:01):
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
That's something I did not want to hear, you know
what I'm saying. I mean something want to hear. It's
feel a swallow. But at some point when you die
bro right, like you got your pantionship right, yeah alone.

Speaker 4 (59:12):
You know, but like she's probably just trying to funk
Doug and.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
Obviously she did. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
But the question is like, but it's like when you
it's like when you break up. It's like when you
you break up with your girl and she gets pregnant
by the next guy.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
You know what I mean, It's like that thing.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Even though it's been a while, it's been a while,
right with a couple of months, you know, No, I
know what I'm saying. With with Kobe, it's been the years, right,
but but it's still it's still still like that kind
of feeling where it's like the fuck.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
The personal yeah, you should be alone with the rest
of your life.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
Yeah, it's better than Kobe.

Speaker 4 (59:46):
See, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (59:46):
I think that's maybe my school of thought difference. I
told my girl away to him if I die, like
you go ahead afterwards.

Because we were like placed right next to the jewelry
places like watches, anios and all this stuff, and and
they were coming.

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
They'll look at me, and I would be like, don't

see the symbol of the T right behind me. And
they would come up to me, like do you work here?
And I'm like, nah, that gets to step damn.

Sam Club is like the poor man Cosco because it's
like related to Walmart.

Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
Yeah, as a womar, Yeah so Cosco related to just
cosgo boss. But Costco is for sure like higher end
than Sam Club. Feels that way, Yeah, one hundred percent.
Even because you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
Tell by the parking lot, you talk about the parking
you can tell the way the workers, you know what
I mean, because even the Costco workers they were under ship,
like you know, they were hard to find. But when
once you found them, like because they were always moving
around because they were like making them like like nothing
was ever in the same spot at Costco. Every every week,
couple of weeks, they were re reorganized things just to
make a little different.

Speaker 4 (01:12:31):
So they're always moving. They're always they're not allowed to
say like I'm like I worked there. I'm like, you're
actually they moved here. I would hate that ship. But
that's why you're telling, like, go, I'm looking for socks
and I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
You can't find the perfectly moving so it makes you,
it makes you spend more time there, and they'll put
things that they want to sell, so like.

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
Right up front, right in front of TVs always. Yeah,
but the brands, all the brands. I don't know if
