Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 2: Yere. You know I've noticed about you. You have a pretty
Speaker 2: stellar fitted hat collection.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I know. I've loved hats ever since I
Speaker 1: was growing up. I worked at Lids for a good minute.
Speaker 2: You got the Lids discount?
Speaker 1: Nah, No, I mean I got yeah, well, I got yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I used to steal from that motherfucker so
Speaker 1: they fired my eyes. But I was working there during
Speaker 1: high school and ship that my coworker started sucking the manager,
Speaker 1: so we started stealing because we was blackmailing her. Nice
Speaker 1: all all kinds of shit. But anyways, all that to
Speaker 1: say that, yeah, I got into hats around that time.
Speaker 1: And now when people see it on the videos online,
Speaker 1: every time I go to their city, they got one
Speaker 1: ready for me. Gott to get it for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the best.
Speaker 2: What's uh the most you pay for a fitting?
Speaker 1: Man? I mean usually the nice ones that I got
Speaker 1: are are the ones that are gifts. I was just
Speaker 1: in San Diego and I went into like just the
Speaker 1: lids and bought like a regular I think it was
Speaker 1: maybe like a spring training in San Diego Padres had
Speaker 1: and that was sixty dollars, and I don't kind of hurt.
Speaker 2: I was like, damn, nah, they're fucking dude, They're they're
Speaker 2: up there. Especially if you go to like you know,
Speaker 2: like shots to Cap City. You go over there, they
Speaker 2: got like the variants, Like shit, you might spend like
Speaker 2: seventy dollars on the fitting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. And then like when me when I
Speaker 1: went on to perform, so usually I'm sweating on stage,
Speaker 1: so I could only usually wear it once and after
Speaker 1: that has got like a yellow stain on it or
Speaker 1: like ass.
Speaker 2: That shit is crazy. Ah. So you said you were
Speaker 2: just in Reno this past weekend and you flooded your
Speaker 2: hotel room.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, yeah, I was in Reno. It was my
Speaker 1: first time there. I heard about it, but I ain't
Speaker 1: a real methy town, real mad you know, it's crazy
Speaker 1: because it's like it's a weird combo. It's like some
Speaker 1: of the richest, wealthy as nice as white people, and
Speaker 1: then just some of like the most trashiest fucking.
Speaker 2: People's kind of like Vegas. Yeah, it's just like much
Speaker 2: smaller and much more rednecky.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but but it was fun. Man. It was
Speaker 1: my first time there. But they put me in like
Speaker 1: a nice, a nice suite at the at the comedy
Speaker 1: club was inside the casino and they put me in
Speaker 1: a suite up there and they had a nice like
Speaker 1: dracuzie with a big view. And usually I've got jacuzzies before,
Speaker 1: but like at the Super eight, so I don't even
Speaker 1: think about getting them, because.
Speaker 2: They got jacuzzies at the Super eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get like the they give you like the
Speaker 1: deluxe sweet. Oh yeah, I mean I wouldn't get in.
Speaker 1: They probably get something like STD or some shit. But
Speaker 1: uh yeah, this this hotel was a little bit nicer.
Speaker 1: So I ran the water. I let it fill up
Speaker 1: all the way. I was drunk as hell, was me
Speaker 1: and my girl. It's like five in the morning. We
Speaker 1: had already we were down like fifteen hundred at the casino.
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know, what's in the night,
Speaker 1: the nice like jacuzzie, you know, So I filled it
Speaker 1: up all away. I ain't realize that, you know, I
Speaker 1: ain't never took this nice class or science class when
Speaker 1: you put they talking about it was water distribution or
Speaker 1: something like that. When you jump in that motherfucker the
Speaker 1: water elevator. So me and my girl both got in
Speaker 1: that motherfucker. And I'm a big motherfucker already, so that shit,
Speaker 1: it was just like a tsunami. Bro Like, I just
Speaker 1: looked at the water like flood the whole apartment. And
Speaker 1: crazy thing is that we I had just traveled from
Speaker 1: Chicago to Reno, and I was doing laundry because I
Speaker 1: stopped to visit my parents and my I was gonna
Speaker 1: miss my flight, so I didn't let my clothes dry
Speaker 1: all the way. So as soon as I got to
Speaker 1: the suite, I laid everything out on the floor air dry,
Speaker 1: and now everything's on the floor. So it's the fucking
Speaker 1: sweetest flood and everything's just getting soaked all over again.
Speaker 1: So we're it's just me and my girl. We're literally
Speaker 1: fighting to get out this dracuzie. But of course the
Speaker 1: dracuzie is like like he's got like a little slant,
Speaker 1: so we're slipping. It's like some cartoon shit flint Stone ship,
Speaker 1: like we're running and play Scooby Douch shit. You know,
Speaker 1: finally we get to jump out the goddamn uh CHACUZI
Speaker 1: we put everything away, But I mean at this point,
Speaker 1: like we're walking around the whole weekend, uh, and here's
Speaker 1: all the water and the goddamn fucking carpet. It's just
Speaker 1: by the third day, it just smelled like it.
Speaker 2: Was like mold.
Speaker 1: It was mold. I was like, we either gonna go
Speaker 1: through this motherfucking ceiling down to the next floor or
Speaker 1: the next motherfucker will no deposit. No, not the bozigone.
Speaker 1: We just started smoking in that moment. At that point,
Speaker 1: we just started.
Speaker 2: Yeah, once you fled the room, you just got to
Speaker 2: kind of like, I don't know, just do whatever you
Speaker 2: want in there. At that point, for real, You're like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna smoke weed.
Speaker 1: Might as well sub least demo for Yeah, my Airbnb's
Speaker 1: bitch out for a day, you know, shit shot.
Speaker 2: What's it? So you're originally from Chicago, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I grew up in the North side of Chicago, Hombo
Speaker 1: Park neighborhood, and then I moved out right around like
Speaker 1: middle school, middle school, high school. I moved moved out
Speaker 1: to Aurora, which is a suburb of Chicago about forty
Speaker 1: miles west of downtown. Wayne's World was actually shot there.
Speaker 2: Waynswood was shot in your hometown.
Speaker 1: Yep, a ruraland north fire.
Speaker 2: I'm curious because, like, I don't think a lot of
Speaker 2: people give like the city of Chicago, like like enough
Speaker 2: credit as it being like a real Mexican city. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: because like when we think of Mexicans, we think of
Speaker 2: like Texas the West Coast, like, but Chicago's like I
Speaker 2: would always say the furthest East. You can get real
Speaker 2: dope Mexican food is Chicago. Anything after that, shit's fucked up.
Speaker 1: No, man, man, there's actually an argument going on online.
Speaker 1: I've actually gotten gone viral a few times. Bread is
Speaker 1: argument of saying that just Chicago has got better in
Speaker 1: Mexican food than the whole country, even California. Yeah, some people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've lived here a little bit longer now in l A,
Speaker 1: and I've i come to realize that it's just that
Speaker 1: you guys got a lot of options.
Speaker 2: What's also a home for you?
Speaker 1: So like I get it, Yeah, but but we do
Speaker 1: got good food though.
Speaker 2: For sure, I heard it. I heard it's amazing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean yeah, but when I started touring
Speaker 1: and traveling. I tell people I'm from Chicago, and the
Speaker 1: first reaction is there's Mexicans there, which to me is
Speaker 1: like insane, because I mean I'm from there, so I'm like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck, Like everybody, we're all Mexican up there.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? But but yeah, it was crazy,
Speaker 1: but it's also a culture shock to go to New
Speaker 1: York or like my first time I was ever on
Speaker 1: the road, I went to DC and I realized that
Speaker 1: there's their majority of Latino was Salvadorian. It wasn't Mexican.
Speaker 1: So that was kind of weird to me. I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: That's like when I moved.
Speaker 2: I lived in Florida for three years, and you know,
Speaker 2: if I met a Mexican, I was excited. All from
Speaker 2: the West Coast. Where can I get good food? And
Speaker 2: they're like.
Speaker 1: They're not, say yeah, yeah, it is a culture, especially
Speaker 1: if you frequent only the West coast, you know, Texas
Speaker 1: or Chicago, and then you go out easier like oh yeah.
Speaker 2: You go to Florida. It's that cool Cubano food man,
Speaker 2: which is fire. It's fire, for sure, but it's different.
Speaker 2: It's it's totally different.
Speaker 1: In Chicago, we actually got a we actually got. We
Speaker 1: got Puerto Ricans in Hombo Parking neighborhood, and we got
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican Chicago food that's not even available in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1: It's only in Chicago.
Speaker 2: Puerto Rican Chicago, a style of Puerto Rican food in Chicago.
Speaker 1: Only specific specifically, they created this like text mes yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like text mex but they got this thing. It's called
Speaker 1: the head Etho. I always found it out. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's basically like a state sandwich when instead of bread
Speaker 1: they use planteens. And it's just I mean a one
Speaker 1: shout out to Heids and Mons in Chicago and Humble Park.
Speaker 1: It's gas bro. I recommend you guys to go there.
Speaker 1: But that's why Chicago is different, Like the food is
Speaker 1: just I think we got the best food in the world.
Speaker 1: Ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 2: I've heard. I've heard it's amazing. My friend is radio
Speaker 2: out there. Uh so, north side of Chicago's Cubs yep,
Speaker 2: south side obviously white sox So did you grow up
Speaker 2: a Cubs fin? You know what?
Speaker 1: The people we used to live in a basement, me
Speaker 1: and my family and the people that the landlord that
Speaker 1: lived above us, which is kind of like our family
Speaker 1: now that we consider them. But they were like huge
Speaker 1: coach fans, so I just I just remember like Sammy
Speaker 1: Sosa during his prime and all that, and they were
Speaker 1: They never took me to a game, and I still
Speaker 1: to this day have never been to a Cubs game.
Speaker 1: But they grew up liking the Cubs. You know, as
Speaker 1: I got older, I kind of fell off of baseball
Speaker 1: and I started wearing a lot of black. So I'll
Speaker 1: just buy a whole bunch of socks gear.
Speaker 2: I mean, white Sox, the cleanest hat in all sports. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 2: Like I think I probably owned three hundred white Sox
Speaker 2: fitted in the last ten weeks.
Speaker 1: They go with everything.
Speaker 2: You can wear white Sox fitted with anything, yep.
Speaker 1: And then but I've been to white Sox games, but
Speaker 1: I've actually been to more Dodgers games and then anything.
Speaker 1: So I guess I consider myself with Dodgers right now.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, yeah, I grew up a Cubs fan.
Speaker 2: Uh when you were growing up, because obviously, you know,
Speaker 2: when we think of Chicago from like the hip hop perspective,
Speaker 2: at least in the last decade, we think like the
Speaker 2: shy Iraq quote unquote, the drill scene. Obviously the North
Speaker 2: Side is a lot not near that where you were
Speaker 2: at and obviously moved out, But did you did you like,
Speaker 2: were you like being in your hometown during that era
Speaker 2: of like drill and everything that was happening out of Chicago,
Speaker 2: Like what would like? Was that like dope just to
Speaker 2: kind of be around for Bro?
Speaker 1: I'm like, Bro, it's it's like, you know what this is?
Speaker 1: How inspiring that shit is. This weekend, Chief Keith was
Speaker 1: back in.
Speaker 2: Chicago first time in twelve years for Summer Smash.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was literally considering canceling my show
Speaker 1: to fly back to Chicago because I got I'm friends
Speaker 1: with the people that own speaker Box, So I was
Speaker 1: shout out my homie, even Caronza so he always looks
Speaker 1: me up with tickets and like it was such a
Speaker 1: monumental movement for s like I'm watching the goddamn tiktoks.
Speaker 1: My eyes are watery and shit, my fucking I'm getting goosebumps.
Speaker 1: If you follow me on Instagram, it's Ken Flores's three
Speaker 1: zero zero, It's three hundred because we were so like
Speaker 1: it just inspired Chief keefs just I'm not a beady
Speaker 1: I'm not a black disciple, right, but but we all,
Speaker 1: like all he had the Mexicans, the Blacks, the white
Speaker 1: everybody was beaty around that time twenty twelve when like
Speaker 1: Back from the Dead came out Fredo Santana and me
Speaker 1: one time. One time, me and Fredo Santana. He had
Speaker 1: a concert and I was up there just game banging.
Speaker 1: I'm not evenna say what I was saying, but I
Speaker 1: was game banging and he saw me, so we started
Speaker 1: game banging on each other. It was it was like
Speaker 1: like I was a huge fan of the whole glow,
Speaker 1: like the Glory Boys and all that little dirt when
Speaker 1: he came up, I mean, and then like following g
Speaker 1: Herbel Baby right after all that, Like that whole time
Speaker 1: was like they made it seem like even me as
Speaker 1: a comedian because like Kanye made it out of Chicago,
Speaker 1: you know. But I was too young at the time.
Speaker 1: I was born ninety six for sure, Like I wasn't
Speaker 1: even like into hip hop around that time, like because
Speaker 1: you know, my parents Mexican, I didn't even know hip
Speaker 1: hop was a thing or whatever. So when I got
Speaker 1: into hip hop it was a little bit later. But
Speaker 1: just being able to witness that whole era of love foe,
Speaker 1: you know, like these guys like for a long time,
Speaker 1: they made their whole their friends famous, like like Fredo
Speaker 1: Santana had like the Savage Squad, Little Dirt and his
Speaker 1: OTF crew. You know, it's sad. Obviously, they also ignited
Speaker 1: a war in Chicago, and you know a lot of
Speaker 1: people lost their life. Yeah, but I mean just like
Speaker 1: the as far as the motivation too, Like it made
Speaker 1: me feel like, oh shit, this dude is from here,
Speaker 1: like the same place I'm from. Not necessarily the same place,
Speaker 1: right because it's a completely different world the South Side
Speaker 1: compared to the North Side or the suburbs, but just
Speaker 1: just like him, Like damn, he lived like out here,
Speaker 1: he walked these streets and he fucking made it. He
Speaker 1: blew up. He's a multi millionaire, huge innerscope deal. Sixteen
Speaker 1: years old. I'm sixteen years old, you know, like at
Speaker 1: the time, and it just motivated me to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I could make it, and what I want to do
Speaker 1: if he can do it, you know, and then I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna lie. Like it was really inspirational, like and
Speaker 1: a lot of people started rapping. Has a lot of
Speaker 1: rappers from Chicago came up.
Speaker 2: He's probably I mean, I mean, look when you break
Speaker 2: it down, like the last you know, ten to fifteen years,
Speaker 2: it's like him future.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: As far as the most influential influencing other artists, sound like,
Speaker 2: it's probably those two, like you know, because.
Speaker 1: It was I mean, it was just completely like yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, man to.
Speaker 2: Me, it was I was dope. It was dope. I
Speaker 2: was at I was at Rolling Loud, uh and I
Speaker 2: was on stage while he was performing because Sexy Red
Speaker 2: cave out. We were up there were that ship was
Speaker 2: a free for all on stage. They had the whole
Speaker 2: goddamn everybody from Rolling Loud was was just wanted to
Speaker 2: come and see him perform because like he don't perform
Speaker 2: like like that, you know, like for for and you know,
Speaker 2: like to see him go back to Chicago was dope.
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize that they're like your first time
Speaker 2: in twelve years somebody.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so there are songs like, for example, like
Speaker 1: like Fernido who you know you put it at a
Speaker 1: club at any concert, it's gonna play and people crazy.
Speaker 1: So it's the first time he gets to perform that,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. I mean, it's insane, Like I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, I just wish I was there.
Speaker 1: It's definitely a crazy moment.
Speaker 2: So how did you kind of break it down?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: Like? Obviously you know you're you're obviously killing it, You're
Speaker 2: you're torn, you've you've been killing it as a comedian,
Speaker 2: But how did all all this start for you?
Speaker 1: I mean, shout out to the internet. You know, Internet
Speaker 1: definitely changing a lot of people's eyes right now if
Speaker 1: you're a content creator. But as far as I put
Speaker 1: me in the game, you actually just had my big one,
Speaker 1: Rene Baka here not too long ago. The way the
Speaker 1: way I kind of started getting on the road was
Speaker 1: I I came across some of his videos. He was
Speaker 1: actually one of the first people to start like with
Speaker 1: those with those viral stand up clips. Now I know
Speaker 1: that they're all over the internet. You know, most of
Speaker 1: them are trashed, but he was like, everybody's doing them,
Speaker 1: everybody's doing them, but they don't. Everybody don't.
Speaker 2: And also they're forcing crowd work to try to get
Speaker 2: one of those moments as opposed to just focusing on
Speaker 2: the comedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sucks to see a comedian performed looking for
Speaker 1: a clip or chasing the clip.
Speaker 2: Yes, Like it's like, dude, just do do as it
Speaker 2: gets set, that'll happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it happens. It happens. If it don't, it
Speaker 1: don't is way more organic, you feel me. But Renee
Speaker 1: was one of those guys that like he was never
Speaker 1: looking for the clip. He's just a fucking crazy motherfucker
Speaker 1: on stage. His energy is insane, so his videos would
Speaker 1: automatically go viral, you know. And I remember me and
Speaker 1: my homeboy Chin's at the time were watching them and
Speaker 1: we're like, dude, whenever this kid, I don't know who
Speaker 1: this kid is, but we need to go see him
Speaker 1: whenever it comes to Chicago, And he had booked a
Speaker 1: show at the Laugh Factory out there. At this point,
Speaker 1: Rene only had like forty thousand followers, So I messaged him.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey man, you know, I'm a comedian
Speaker 1: in Chicago. At that point, I was had like a
Speaker 1: thousand followers or something. I was I would love to
Speaker 1: open for you, We would love to work with you.
Speaker 1: You know, you're from San Fernando Valley, I got families,
Speaker 1: you know. I was trying to like relate to hev
Speaker 1: you feeling like so he give me a spot, but
Speaker 1: he was like, bro, I already got people coming with me.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sorry, I can't really give you a spot.
Speaker 1: And I understand him because now I get people that
Speaker 1: message me that, and you're like, what, I put you
Speaker 1: up everybody? You know, So I get him now. But
Speaker 1: at that time, and I was like, damn, Luckily I
Speaker 1: had a relationship with the club. So then the club
Speaker 1: ended up hitting me up there like you know what,
Speaker 1: somebody dropped out so he'd come through five minutes open
Speaker 1: for him. I was like, all right, fuck it. So
Speaker 1: I went up first before all his openers, and I look,
Speaker 1: he killed that shit. And it was only like forty
Speaker 1: people there. Like he wasn't that big at the time,
Speaker 1: so we could. We didn't really sell tickets. It was
Speaker 1: kind of empty, but we rocked the show that night.
Speaker 1: We drank and then and then he started telling me like, bro,
Speaker 1: put your content out. Put your content out, like it's
Speaker 1: gonna start to blow up. People follow you, you know.
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, fucking I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: So we started me in my roommate at the time.
Speaker 1: I told him, I was like, I'm gonna pay for
Speaker 1: your half of the rent. Just do me a favor, like,
Speaker 1: just cut out clips for me, and that's all I
Speaker 1: needed to do. He was my video guy at the time.
Speaker 1: He was like, all right, fuck it, I'll do it.
Speaker 1: So we started putting out clips every week and I
Speaker 1: started growing when they started blowing up like Max, like
Speaker 1: to the Max. Then he was gonna come back to Chicago.
Speaker 1: The time he came back to Chicago, he actually hit
Speaker 1: me up. He's like, hey, man, I see you've been
Speaker 1: doing your thing. I'm about to go back. Help me
Speaker 1: promote the show. Let's sell it out. I'll let your
Speaker 1: feature for me and you'll give you twenty minutes instead
Speaker 1: of fine. I was like, all right, fucking we announced
Speaker 1: the show. It sold out like in two days. There's
Speaker 1: like three hundred people. So I was like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: like we got something going here. So then we did
Speaker 1: the show, rocked that well. He actually his feature. Something
Speaker 1: had happened. We had overbooked the show, so they had
Speaker 1: to have me host instead, which hosting kind of sucks
Speaker 1: because then you got to go first.
Speaker 2: And in the middle of everybody, in the middle of everybody.
Speaker 1: But I was like, you know what, I'm instead of
Speaker 1: looking at it like fuck you know, I got the mooted.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at it like opportunity. I get to
Speaker 1: go up there multiple times, so I'm gonna make them
Speaker 1: love me. So I went up there. I fucking rocked
Speaker 1: that shit, and they got to a point where the
Speaker 1: people were waiting for the comedians to hurry up and
Speaker 1: finish just so they can see me again. So then
Speaker 1: Renee obviously went up there and rocked that shit. And
Speaker 1: then from there he told me, he's like, hey, bro,
Speaker 1: call off work tomorrow and let's go to Detroit. I
Speaker 1: got another tour stuff up there. Shit. I was like, shit,
Speaker 1: say lez I call working.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I was doing leasing for an apartment complex that over
Speaker 1: there and back home, and I was like fuck it.
Speaker 1: So I called off work and we went up to Detroit.
Speaker 1: We drove all the way up to Detroit. We did
Speaker 1: the show, and from there we went out to drink
Speaker 1: to a buffalo Wowings. I remember, this is the relationship
Speaker 1: somebody ever did for me in comedy. We were drinking
Speaker 1: at the be Doves and he's like, bro, you need
Speaker 1: to come to La. Have you ever performed in La?
Speaker 1: And at that time, I already was kind of building
Speaker 1: a following and people would tell me like, are you
Speaker 1: from La, You need to come to La. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know nobody in Labor, so I've never performed
Speaker 1: out there, but I know I got people that's waiting
Speaker 1: on me. So he's like, how about this, you and
Speaker 1: me go to the Haja Comedy Club. Well co headline,
Speaker 1: so you will go fifty fifty on the door. You
Speaker 1: can have fifty, I'll keep fifty. And he didn't have
Speaker 1: to do that. He could have just been like, you
Speaker 1: could open for me.
Speaker 2: And you'd been like, I'm in hell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fuck, I don't give a shit if I would
Speaker 1: have been negative, like I'm coming so, but instead he
Speaker 1: did that for me, And before we left the be Duves,
Speaker 1: he had already got on the phone with the owner
Speaker 1: of ha haa comedy club, shot out to Terry and
Speaker 1: we already had the link up before we left. Ken
Speaker 1: Flores and Renee Vaka like co headline in Haha Comedy Club,
Speaker 1: North Hollywood. So that to me was like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: Like he's he's like he like he's doing it. You know,
Speaker 1: he's not just talking out his ass because in this business,
Speaker 1: motherfuckers be talking out the ass. So I was like,
Speaker 1: fucking we gone. Then. So from there he went back
Speaker 1: home and we didn't really speak until like the week
Speaker 1: of the shows the show started selling out. We started
Speaker 1: with one show, ended up with four total. And I
Speaker 1: remember that weekend we did the show and this motherfucker
Speaker 1: pulled out. He did on purpose, but it was cool
Speaker 1: of him. He pulled. He got the money in cash
Speaker 1: and he gave me. You know, it was like like
Speaker 1: six seventh grand, big old stacker cash and I had
Speaker 1: never had that much bread, like legal money like like that.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, Like this motherfucker just changed my
Speaker 1: life literally, like this seven thousand, I'm able to quit

Speaker 1: and I got Boston, New York and he gave me
Speaker 1: a list of like eight cities. Following weeks, he's like,

Speaker 1: time he was in the room, that's my dope. Hell yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel like people don't be putting on like that
Speaker 2: like they like they should. Man, I feel like, obviously
Speaker 2: you always hear guys like Joe Rogan bringing people up,
Speaker 2: but like you know, I feel like I feel like
Speaker 2: there's the other side of comedy where people are very
Speaker 2: like stingy with the yeah you like.
Speaker 1: The thing about Renee, the way he moves, He's very confident,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't just appear to be confident. He is
Speaker 1: confident in his material, in his work, so he don't
Speaker 1: mind putting me up before him a lot. There is
Speaker 1: a lot of times where I would do shows in
Speaker 1: Chicago and people be like, oh, I'm not gonna go
Speaker 1: after Cans because he can's gonna rip it up right,
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna have to go fucking suck so so,
Speaker 1: and he don't. He's not scared of having to follow somebody. Funny. Now,
Speaker 1: I feel like you want somebody to kill it. Hell yeah,
Speaker 1: that should be the mindset, but it isn't for a
Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, so he they.
Speaker 2: Want to be the funniest person of the night no
Speaker 2: matter what.
Speaker 1: Of course, even if it means booking people, that's sucking
Speaker 1: having the crowd have to sit through the bullshit, right,
Speaker 1: But yeah, he did that for me, and because he
Speaker 1: is confident in his material, he don't mind me getting
Speaker 1: a piece of the pine. And then you realize in
Speaker 1: this game is fucking money everywhere.
Speaker 2: Now when I saw you, guys, I saw you and
Speaker 2: him and Concrete pulled up that ship was dog. That
Speaker 2: was one of the funnier nights. And you were roasting
Speaker 2: this dude in the front row you. The whole crowd
Speaker 2: was chating Frank is gay. Do you remember that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You know, Frank sucks, Dick Frank sucks.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, that you gotta be careful about
Speaker 1: because you never know.
Speaker 2: Now you're like, who do you want to do? I
Speaker 2: was like, damn, I was like ship but being ben bother,
Speaker 2: like what the fuck.
Speaker 1: You have to say? It's like a new age of comedy,
Speaker 1: you know, like it was cool though.
Speaker 2: It's so funny dude, Yeah it was, it was, It was.
Speaker 2: It was a good night. So before you met Renee,
Speaker 2: how long was your comedic journey before that? Like, were
Speaker 2: you just doing open mics.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, so my license got revoked because I
Speaker 1: was driving. Yeah, okay, So and I was already living
Speaker 1: on in the in the Aura, so it's about like
Speaker 1: a thirty five minute drive into the city, so I
Speaker 1: didn't really have rides to go into the city. So
Speaker 1: I couldn't really do open mics like that I was.
Speaker 1: I was only doing open mics in my hometown, which
Speaker 1: only be like once a month. I did comedy about
Speaker 1: five years before I've ember day. Wow, so I was
Speaker 1: five years in.
Speaker 2: But it was very much like a hobby. Were you
Speaker 2: super like in it? Like, Yo, this shit's gonna work.
Speaker 1: It had to work, Like I was. I was like,
Speaker 1: it's it has to work because I know I ain't.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go work at a factory. No
Speaker 1: more warehouse. I'm done with that ship. I was into drugs.
Speaker 2: Really bad too, doing them or selling them?
Speaker 1: Doing them? No, I was not selling nothing. I was
Speaker 1: doing all my products.
Speaker 2: But what drugs were you doing?
Speaker 1: Cocaine? Man? Oh? Yeah, yeah, that's the one to fuck
Speaker 1: you up?
Speaker 2: Explain why your friends with our good buddy Alexis.
Speaker 1: But uh but anyway, so yeah, that and and I
Speaker 1: ended up doing I was doing open mics or whatever,
Speaker 1: but I was I kind of had to make sure
Speaker 1: I killed every show I was on to be able
Speaker 1: to leave with another booking from that show because I
Speaker 1: didn't have time to hang out or the politics hang
Speaker 1: out exactly. I just couldn't do it because I didn't
Speaker 1: have to ride it. I was fucked, so I had
Speaker 1: to work with what I had. So only in my
Speaker 1: whole life is kind of weird to say, and people
Speaker 1: don't believe me when I say it, but I've only
Speaker 1: ever done like eight or nine open mics ever. From there,
Speaker 1: it was just shows that I was booking, shows that
Speaker 1: I was booking, and then the Internet just put the
Speaker 1: Internet and they just took everything off. But luckily, like
Speaker 1: I was ready and I you know, it also takes talent.
Speaker 1: It's not hard work is hard work, but there's also
Speaker 1: got to.
Speaker 2: Be a little you can do. You could work really
Speaker 2: hard at putting out shitty music. No one's gonna like it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but like if you suck, you suck, like you know,
Speaker 2: it is where it is now. If you have a
Speaker 2: little bit of talent, you know, maybe you know, like
Speaker 2: you know, we see some subpar comedians doing well but
Speaker 2: they have great fucking work ethics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, so you will get better. And that's
Speaker 1: what I've been doing on the road because I definitely
Speaker 1: wasn't ready because a lot of comedians, especially like the Ogs,
Speaker 1: like the burg Christis Thompson girls, like most of them,
Speaker 1: they got to feature for years before they started headlining,
Speaker 1: So they walked into a lot of these venues already.
Speaker 1: So when you walk it somewhere that you've already been
Speaker 1: to before, it's different. It's a completely different confidence. Even
Speaker 1: if the status you know it, you know the player,
Speaker 1: you know where the backstage is, where the back.
Speaker 2: Peop kind of have an idea about the people who
Speaker 2: come to the shows in those cities.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, and you're not iffy about like you know,
Speaker 1: if you're about ship you know. But yeah, and then
Speaker 1: with me, it's like a lot of these places I'm
Speaker 1: going to is I'm going there for the first time,
Speaker 1: so I don't know I'm gonna get treated right, but
Speaker 1: so so it kind of like the first night's always
Speaker 1: kind of like uh, kind of rubbing the dust stuff
Speaker 1: or whatever. But but yeah, man, I mean sure, fuck it.
Speaker 1: We live in a time where it's like it's either
Speaker 1: now or never. So I'm not gonna be like, oh no,
Speaker 1: I can't do it because I'm I'm fucking you. Gotta
Speaker 1: learn as we go.
Speaker 2: I saw you on the on the Cooking Show with
Speaker 2: with Burt Kreischer, have any of those those kind of
Speaker 2: like that kind of gang of comedians. Uh, embraced you,
Speaker 2: looked out for you because I know you say you
Speaker 2: you go to Austin, your girls from Austin, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I'm not. I'm not. I haven't
Speaker 1: got into that circuit though. The way the Burt Chrisier
Speaker 1: thing came about was because Filippe was supposed to do
Speaker 1: that show with I believe it was a actor or
Speaker 1: Latino actor, uh, and he actually got a part last minute,
Speaker 1: so he had to fly out. So Bert just I'm
Speaker 1: not I don't even know, I mean sorry, Philippe hit
Speaker 1: me up. I don't know if I was the second option,
Speaker 1: third fourth, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Better hit you and you were like I'm there.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm in la and where they shot it,
Speaker 1: and there seven minutes from the house. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'll be there, so I show I showed up and
Speaker 1: luckily man I knocked that out the park and me
Speaker 1: and Bert. You know, we built a relationship from there
Speaker 1: a little bit. We exchanged info. Yeah, I got I
Speaker 1: got his number and everything. But I'm not one of
Speaker 1: those guys that like reaches out to people just because
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't know, I just I'm not.
Speaker 2: That I say, they just how hard Like some of
Speaker 2: those guys work with like so many show ideas like
Speaker 2: that damn motherfucker's does so much. I'm like brown, Yeah, man,
Speaker 2: he drinks so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean, I dude, I'd be like, I'll
Speaker 1: be so goddamn tired just flying to the damn shows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get off that plane, like, yeah, well I need
Speaker 2: a nap.
Speaker 1: No, they get off planes and they go do podcasts
Speaker 1: and then they go do performances. I'm like, hey, I
Speaker 1: want something. If it's a travel day, it's a travel day.
Speaker 1: That's it. All I'm gonna do is travel.

Speaker 1: She didn't even get to see my comedy because she
Speaker 1: had to late, but she's seen the people take pictures

Speaker 1: I'm buying her drinks. I end up overdoing it. Bro

Speaker 1: getting fucked up. So we get into like a petty
Speaker 1: cab those like bike cabs or whatever, and we went

Speaker 1: was going with my boy. So we get to the
Speaker 1: BnB and she's getting off the off the petty cab.
Speaker 1: She busts her ship like she fell off. So I'm
Speaker 1: picking her up and I got it like over my shoulder.
Speaker 1: The dude just looking at me, like.

Speaker 1: show in Austin at Catch City Comedy Club, and the
Speaker 1: whole time like I'm performing, I'm killing it, but I'm
Speaker 1: looking for her, you know, I'm like, I'm looking for
Speaker 1: because she had like red hair at the time. And
Speaker 1: then I end up finishing the show, I never find her.
Speaker 1: I do the meet and greet, I don't see her.
Speaker 1: Then I go look at my phone and she's like, yo,
Speaker 1: they won't let me in, like I got here late.
Speaker 1: So she missed my ship again. Bro missed my whole
Speaker 1: show again, so she still hadn't seen me do comedy
Speaker 1: and h But we kicked it that night after the show,
Speaker 1: and from that night she was we just kicked it.
Speaker 1: But she ended up like I said, she didn't. We
Speaker 1: didn't even fuck before the tattoo. So she went home
Speaker 1: and then she's like, if you push your flight back,
Speaker 1: we'll hang out again tomorrow. So I'll push my flight back.
Speaker 1: Then I was Friday. We kicked it again, so we
Speaker 1: kicked it twice after we after I went back, and
Speaker 1: then when I was gonna come back to LA, I
Speaker 1: was like, fuck it, just come with me, and I
Speaker 1: got her a ticket and she came and she never
Speaker 1: went back.
Speaker 2: Did you guys get the tattoo in La.
Speaker 1: Night? One the reason I had to fly back to
Speaker 1: La was because I had a spot at the comedy
Speaker 1: store and I'm like barely trying to work my way
Speaker 1: into the comedy store was one of the best stories
Speaker 1: in the world, of course, so so so I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't misto the spot, Like I gotta go back.
Speaker 1: But I was like, if you come with me, like
Speaker 1: I'll make sure I got enough time to pick you
Speaker 1: up and then we'll go through the spa and then
Speaker 1: i'll show you lay. So sure enough, I got there
Speaker 1: first that morning, then she got there that afternoon. I
Speaker 1: picked her up, went straight to the comedy store, rocked
Speaker 1: my set. Then from there we went to the Boulevard
Speaker 1: Hollywood Bulevard.
Speaker 2: All the tattoo shops are open all night, yep.
Speaker 1: And like I just said it as a joke, like
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll get your name ted and she's like
Speaker 1: I would do it, and I was like hell no.
Speaker 1: She's like yeah, I'll put I'll put your inities toxics.
Speaker 1: Fuck yeah, I was for real. So we go to
Speaker 1: the first tattoo shop, bro, and then at the first
Speaker 1: tattoo shop. At the first tattoo shop, they're like, now
Speaker 1: we're busy, like and I was like, oh, that's a sign,
Speaker 1: like let's not do it. Let's not do it. And
Speaker 1: then she's like, noah, there's another one right there. So
Speaker 1: we had to walk all the way up there. And
Speaker 1: then I was walking at the time. I had like
Speaker 1: health issues and shit, so I was I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: walk that far. So I got an uber and then
Speaker 1: the uber we got like an suv because I'm trying

Speaker 2: Did you do that on purpose? Did you play that song?
Speaker 1: Really? No? I just liked the song. But anyway, so
Speaker 1: we walked in and sure enough, the dude had time.
Speaker 1: So I was like, well, if you go first, and
Speaker 1: I'll do it. If you go first and get my initials.
Speaker 1: I'll do your whole name on my hand if you
Speaker 1: go first, though, but I'm not going first. So she
Speaker 1: did it. She laid down, put my initials on her
Speaker 1: back ofver ear, and then I went and got this.
Speaker 1: And it was a lot thinner because they know, like
Speaker 1: you know, it's boulevard tattoos, like they're gonna regret this ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the tattoo was very thin. I feel like I
Speaker 1: feel like I would have washed my hand enough times.
Speaker 2: When it came out, it had already been gone.
Speaker 1: So my dumb ass got drunk. Is fucking Saffron the
Speaker 1: valley with the homies one time and one of them
Speaker 1: is like practicing how to do tattoos and thiking my
Speaker 1: ship up. Yeah, he thinking my ship up. My ship

Speaker 1: like a prison tab. But fucking had to go big
Speaker 1: or go home.
Speaker 2: So did The first was the I mean with the tattoos,
Speaker 2: the first time you guys have in text or so much,
Speaker 2: it's like it's like it's like the detox, Like it's
Speaker 2: like so much anticipation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it wasn't that. It wasn't nah, man, we
Speaker 1: were drunk as fuck. We knocked out halfway through it.
Speaker 1: We didn't even finish, I swear god. We both passed
Speaker 1: the work out, woke up pants around our ankles, and ship. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It wasn't good, but we made up for it.
Speaker 2: And she's still with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, we had broken up for like a month.
Speaker 2: Bro. She went back home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, you went back home. We just got into

Speaker 1: in Raleigh, North Carolina, and and she was like, I
Speaker 1: don't care why you ain't taxt me all day. I'm like,
Speaker 1: they pulled the gun on us. So we got into
Speaker 1: a big argument. But but anyway, we got back together.
Speaker 2: To you, man, that's I wish you luck. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now it's cool. I'm telling you, bro, she saved my life.
Speaker 1: I was I was doing. I was. I was like
Speaker 1: I was in La by myself, you know, when I
Speaker 1: moved out here. Me and they were supposed to get
Speaker 1: a place together, but he actually had got with his wife.
Speaker 1: So obviously I'm not working man, I'm your roommate, you know.
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, now it was cool, man.
Speaker 1: Let me. I was runting a room for my uncle
Speaker 1: and sian Fernando Valley and then when I got my apartment,
Speaker 1: I was by myself, so I would just be drinking
Speaker 1: the whole time, getting fuck the cold, getting faded, and
Speaker 1: it was just like I was just going to like
Speaker 1: spiral out of control.
Speaker 2: Sounds like somebody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ended up going to the hospital. It was bad.
Speaker 1: It was bad.
Speaker 2: You were a fucking on one, yeah, Bro, it was.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I didn't give my body a break. I'll
Speaker 1: go to the hospital for cocaine and then I'll come
Speaker 1: down from the cocaine, but then I'll eat a whole
Speaker 1: pizza so that my heart would be like having to
Speaker 1: digestive pizza. Like it was just I was just killing.
Speaker 2: My wasting away, committing slow suicide in an apartment in
Speaker 2: the valley.
Speaker 1: I was on my Chris Farley, Shit, I ain't gonna lie, bro.
Speaker 1: But yeah, now that she's there, you know, it's not
Speaker 1: even like just having somebody in the apartment.
Speaker 2: It kind of keeps you in chest, somebody that can
Speaker 2: give you, hold you accountable exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'm not gonna eat the who pizza because
Speaker 1: she right here.
Speaker 2: You know, have you cut down on the cocaine use?
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent, I mean not one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: That would be a lie. But yes, a lot, but
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the only thing is like there was those
Speaker 2: comedians who uh it was it last year? There was
Speaker 2: like two or three of them that died.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't remember in LA I forget. I don't want to,
Speaker 2: you know, obviously I don't. I don't remember their names.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that ship that it was crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah man, that ship does you.
Speaker 2: Never know what you're fucking putting up your nose, dude.
Speaker 2: Like that's the thing that sucks about doing drugs in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four is that shits is cut.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, But you know the crazy thing is too,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not sure if you ever that, but like
Speaker 1: that like that. But the thing is, like I canna
Speaker 1: say that right now because I'm sober, like right now,
Speaker 1: I'm sober at this moment, Like I'm sober this week.
Speaker 1: But uh, I'll be like, yeah, man, I could tell
Speaker 1: you I can sit right here and bullshit be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I ain't never know what they put in there, but
Speaker 1: if I get four beers in me, bro, I won't
Speaker 1: give a fuck you feel me, like, like, just give
Speaker 1: me that ship, like what you got, We'll figure it. Out, yeah,
Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter, like fucking you feeling like like
Speaker 1: it's so crazy how fast the mind.
Speaker 2: Changes changes and not just with that decision.
Speaker 1: It could be like with like cheating on your wife,
Speaker 1: and it could be anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd be like, oh shit, I was in the moment.
Speaker 2: Fuck yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. People kill people like that, you know, like oh
Speaker 1: I saw red and you know or whatever.
Speaker 2: Eveen like getting into a car, Like we had a
Speaker 2: homemad of ours who went on a sick ass bender
Speaker 2: last week and this fool was like black the fuck
Speaker 2: out and got all like emotional, jumped in his car,
Speaker 2: drove to Runyon Canyon and went for a fucking hike
Speaker 2: at like eleven pm at night. Fell fucked himself up, survived,
Speaker 2: thank god, but I was like, bro, I talked to
Speaker 2: him the next day. I was like, bro, you could
Speaker 2: have died, Like you couldn't killed somebody dog Like he
Speaker 2: was like blacked out, Like why would you go to hike?
Speaker 1: And the pitch black Like, but why would you go
Speaker 1: to hike at all?
Speaker 2: You should probably you try going to hike, So talk
Speaker 2: to me, like for you, like obviously, I feel like
Speaker 2: comedy is like you know, it's like with anything, you know,
Speaker 2: like DJing, wrapping. With technology, it's made it a lot
Speaker 2: easier for people to label themselves as something that they
Speaker 2: might not necessarily fully respect or be. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2: Like I've been seeing so many people pop up doing
Speaker 2: like quote unquote comedy and they well, I could put
Speaker 2: a reel up, I could put an Instagram clip up
Speaker 2: or whatever. For you, Like, is it when you blow
Speaker 2: up on the internet? Is it harder to get like
Speaker 2: peer respects when it comes to like some of these guys,
Speaker 2: has it been doing it for like twenty years? Do
Speaker 2: they look at you a little different or do you
Speaker 2: think that that has kind of like passed because I
Speaker 2: feel like there was a time or that was a thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, bro, I think that right now
Speaker 1: we live in a time where people are like the
Speaker 1: Internet has made a soul self centered. We only think
Speaker 1: about ourselves right as comedians. We comedians are people that
Speaker 1: need reassurance. We need instant gratification. That's why we do
Speaker 1: what we do. And whether it was because of trauma
Speaker 1: or whatever the fuck it is, you need that validation,
Speaker 1: you know. And I feel like back then, you weren't
Speaker 1: on the internet all day, so all you have to
Speaker 1: do is look at other motherfuckers when you wasn't looking
Speaker 1: at yourself. So yeah, there would be more peer I
Speaker 1: guess peer comments or you know, it'd be other people
Speaker 1: will talk about you more than anything. Nowadays, we live
Speaker 1: in a time where people are more like they respect
Speaker 1: art more and they realize like everybody's a little bit different,
Speaker 1: So we're not gonna talk shit about it, you know,
Speaker 1: and if they do, it's not gonna be as I.
Speaker 2: Would just say it, like, yo, funny, it's funny. I
Speaker 2: don't care if it's a skit. I don't care if
Speaker 2: it's the stand up. If I laugh, I laugh, like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but but yeah, like right now, we don't,
Speaker 1: I mean, And then me, it's like I definitely don't
Speaker 1: give a fuck because it's like shit, I'm making money,
Speaker 1: I'm selling tickets, like my life.
Speaker 2: Was life shame.
Speaker 1: I had my car repossessed, I got kicked out of
Speaker 1: my house, like I was doing drugs, like I was
Speaker 1: in the hospital about to die from heart failure, like like, bro,
Speaker 1: I'm not even supposed to be here now. Like so
Speaker 1: being the fact that I'm able to go to Reno
Speaker 1: and do six shows Denver, Detroit and have a whole tour. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm already. I live in l A. Like I used
Speaker 1: to come out here broken ship. I used to save
Speaker 1: up five hundred dollars, used to come out here and
Speaker 1: sleep on my uncle's couch and just like look at

Speaker 1: And I feel like Patrisa's that person. And Philippe was
Speaker 1: the first person to talk about, like I feel like

Speaker 1: this happened. So I'm still doing my Hour. I'm touring
Speaker 1: a lot of these places for the first time, so
Speaker 1: I'm barely using that material. So I don't want to
Speaker 1: have to like put it out already because I still
Speaker 1: got like a year left of tours.
Speaker 2: Right, Like, I can't be out everywhere. I need people
Speaker 2: to be able to come and see that hour, and
Speaker 2: I'd be like the first time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I and I am writing on the road
Speaker 1: and putting stuff to the side and everything. Now that

Speaker 1: So I am I am trying. It is a little
Speaker 1: bit more pressure on me now, but but it keeps
Speaker 1: my pen hot. You feel me, and I don't get
Speaker 1: to be lazy. How do you write?
Speaker 2: Like when you have an idea, you're writing it down?
Speaker 2: Is it in your notes?
Speaker 1: Like? How do you the good The good thing about
Speaker 1: headlining is that you get like an hour to perform.
Speaker 1: So in that hour, you're not gonna You're not gonna
Speaker 1: just do. There's gonna be especially like somebody who just
Speaker 1: started like me, you might have a different cadence one
Speaker 1: day where you're like, oh shit, I got an extra
Speaker 1: five minutes with the try some shit out, yeah, or
Speaker 1: I forgot some shit so yeah. I Usually I usually
Speaker 1: try to do all the new stuff up top, just
Speaker 1: to kind of see if I can get something, or
Speaker 1: usually i'll do local stuff first, which is new stuff
Speaker 1: because I just learned that in the city as I
Speaker 1: got there that day. But I'll do that and if
Speaker 1: it's working, then I'll throw in some new ship and
Speaker 1: then I'll go into my and if the new shit
Speaker 1: don't work, then I'll go into my material, which I
Speaker 1: know is gonna work, you know, so I always try
Speaker 1: to hide it in the middle somewhere or or towards
Speaker 1: the beginning, right before I know I'm gonna have a
Speaker 1: good one right after that. But yeah, yeah, I use
Speaker 1: That's how I kind of write on stage. As far
Speaker 1: as like not being on stage, I don't sit down
Speaker 1: and write anymore, just because I don't even I don't
Speaker 1: even think I got pens was at home, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you. But I just usually write and bullet
Speaker 1: points in my iPhone notes and then I'll go on
Speaker 1: stage and I'll.

Speaker 1: script six months prior to the first table reading. I
Speaker 1: printed it out the first day of the table read.
Speaker 1: I never looked at that moment, not once, not one time.

Speaker 1: I don't have a job.
Speaker 2: Tell me, Uh, obviously, it could be cocaine, it could
Speaker 2: be shrooms, it could be edible. What's the highest you've
Speaker 2: ever been in your life? Highest where you were just
Speaker 2: like fucking ship bro, whether you were tripping balls or
Speaker 2: you thought you were gonna die.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've told this story on a few podcasts already.
Speaker 1: I could do that one, or I could do a
Speaker 1: different one.
Speaker 2: Give me a new one, a new one.
Speaker 1: Man. I remember one time I used to do my
Speaker 1: own podcasts and uh before you know, before going on
Speaker 1: the road or whatever, and I was doing a podcast
Speaker 1: and I was interviewing some young kids who had like
Speaker 1: a Mexican musician band locals or whatever. And the whole time,
Speaker 1: I'm just doing coke, like I got an eight ball
Speaker 1: on me. And every time the camera's you know, obviously
Speaker 1: we got the producer, so when they're talking, I know
Speaker 1: the camera is gonna pan that way, so I'm just
Speaker 1: doing fat bumps. And throughout the whole interview, the whole interview,
Speaker 1: I damn near finished, like the whole ball throughout the enemy.
Speaker 1: It was like forty minutes by the way they were.
Speaker 2: They looking at you like you were crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these kids were like I mean at the time,
Speaker 1: I was probably like twenty five, I'm twenty eight now
Speaker 1: they're probably like eighteen. So they're just looking at me
Speaker 1: because it's funny because they brought they brought me a gift.
Speaker 1: They brought me like a tequila bottle, and they brought
Speaker 1: me two cigars or two cigars, and I like, they're
Speaker 1: smoking cigars, like you can tell they're just like fighting
Speaker 1: for their life smoking this fucking cigar, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: coke the fuck out on my mind. So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was just like an awkward ass internet shit on YouTube.
Speaker 1: It is, bro, Yeah, I sure got to be on
Speaker 1: YouTube somewhere.
Speaker 2: That's it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: And then like at one point they're telling me like
Speaker 1: oh yeah man, but as far as music or motivation,
Speaker 1: I think or something that's more, I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: that's enough, thank you guys for coming to the podcast.
Speaker 1: I just cut him off, had them. I cut him
Speaker 1: off halfway through the dam podcast. I was like, all right, bro,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you. I kicked them the
Speaker 1: funk out because I wanted to keep drinking. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to talk anymore. I kept drinking and I kept
Speaker 1: geeking after they left. And then I used to live
Speaker 1: in the apartment that was first floor apartment, and it
Speaker 1: had a sliding door in the back, but right behind
Speaker 1: it was a train track, so the train would just
Speaker 1: That's why I ran with Cheapers Hill because was just
Speaker 1: the fucking train was just zoomed by, and it was
Speaker 1: just like every night, every night. So so my homeboy,
Speaker 1: my roommate, he's knocked out on the couch in the
Speaker 1: living room and I'm in my room. I'm just like
Speaker 1: trying to come down from like this fucking like I'm
Speaker 1: like sweating and shit, like I'm trying to write jokes
Speaker 1: but like I can't, but I'm just not like I'm
Speaker 1: just not like still, you know. So at this point,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, ah, something's wrong, Like something is wrong
Speaker 1: with me, something's wrong with me, Like I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. I started like my fingers are

Speaker 1: fucking me, So I'm looking all so but I never,
Speaker 1: like I never I've done like I had done coke
Speaker 1: a long time already from that point, but I had
Speaker 1: never like I think I had never done it in
Speaker 1: that short period of time that much. And that ship
Speaker 1: was strong as fuck. It was like something butter shout
Speaker 1: out to the blood almost killed my ass. But that's
Speaker 1: so we end up doing. I ended up doing all
Speaker 1: this ship. Then I start getting like a brain freeze.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh, ship, Like I'm cold, but I'm hot.
Speaker 1: But I also got like a brain freeze. So I
Speaker 1: started looking ship up and it's like, oh, you're like
Speaker 1: like a heart attack, like overdosing. Like so it's like
Speaker 1: the worst ship ever.
Speaker 2: So you were like borderline overdosing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bro. So then I'm tweaking the fuck out. So
Speaker 1: I go to the back into the sliding door ship
Speaker 1: and I pop open the door. We got the wooden stick,
Speaker 1: you know, take that ship out, open the sign door
Speaker 1: we go. I go to the back and the wind
Speaker 1: hits me. So I'm just like I start coming down.
Speaker 1: I start coming down. I start coming down. Bro, I
Speaker 1: don't know where the bitch ass trained. Bro, my heart
Speaker 1: just started it went crazy again. So it gets to
Speaker 1: a point where I'm just kind of like like this
Speaker 1: is ship, Like zombie mode and the neighbor from next door,
Speaker 1: he was in his balcony upstairs and he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: like you all right here, and I'm just looking at

Speaker 1: like throwing the treasures at each other or whatever. But
Speaker 1: so he was just kind of like damn, he about

Speaker 1: and I was like like it just it wouldn't stop,
Speaker 1: you know, like shit was just tweaking. And my dumb
Speaker 1: mass thought that if I had a bong rip, bring
