But as soon as they said directed by Ida, 94 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: I was like, ah shit, I'm in, Like no fucking 95 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: questions asked. I want to work with her. I'd know 96 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: that she'll respect me like other people I know will 97 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: not respect me, but she will respect me and give 98 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: me what I want.

And you know, 169 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: I will say that there's been shifts over the years 170 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: because I've now been doing comedy for seventeen years. So 171 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: the first time I was in New York was ten 172 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: years ago, and the audiences were so different. The New 173 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: York audiences were far superior than the LA audiences, no 174 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: doubt about it, and in every way in background, in 175 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: sense of humor, and apreciating variety of comics. And but 176 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: now I think it's actually kind of getting more balanced. 177 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: I think that LA and New York are actually becoming 178 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: equal in terms of how they consume comedy and also 179 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: how accessible comedy is and how many different types of 180 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: comedians you have access to, because that was the other 181 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: problem ten years ago is that comedy was way more 182 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: segregated in LA than it is now. It feels like 183 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: it is kind of turning into like everybody's kind of 184 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: showing up on everybody's shows, and that wasn't the case 185 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: before the last time you were on Local thou we 186 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: talked about all kinds of things, but something that we 187 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: discussed was older Latinos being gamekeepers in comedy or not 188 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: cultivating the next generation. And now here we are and 189 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: I'm right then, I'm right now. Yeah, But George Lopez 190 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: for that shit, he tried to pull what were your 191 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: initial thoughts the clip? So, okay, when I saw the clip, 192 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: I remember thinking something was going on here. First of all, 193 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: because who was the other name the other comedian? Was it? Steve? 194 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: Is that his name? I forget the other comedian's name, 195 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: but you know, obviously was talking about Ralph, and George 196 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: was obviously responding to him talking about Ralph a lot, 197 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: like it was very obvious that he was genuinely like, 198 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: why do you keep name dropping this kid that nobody knows? Right, yeah, 199 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: which was to me fair, totally fair reaction, But he 200 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: dug himself a hole when he was like, no, you 201 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: should only help yourself, you should only be looking, And 202 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: I was like, whoall, that's not like I get the 203 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: idea of like pointing out a brown noser. But I 204 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: also think he had the opportunity to be like, look, 205 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: I know that you're trying to show him support, but 206 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: you should be looking out for yourself, you know. And 207 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: maybe now and again, you know, show other people love, 208 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: and that's fine, but you can't just be showing somebody 209 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: else's love. So, in my opinion, it wasn't like a 210 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: terrible clip to begin with, because they were obviously having 211 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: some kind of weird back and forth or this fool 212 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: was sucking Ralph Barbosa's dick hella hard, and then it 213 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: turned into George having an opportunity and he totally just 214 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: showed his true cards, which comedians who have been in 215 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: the game for a while, we already knew that about George. 216 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: That's how he is. He doesn't be helping nobody. He 217 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: definitely doesn't help men, could give a fuck about the women. 218 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: You know, he just cares about himself. And you know, 219 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: and we all know that he fucking took his ex 220 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: wife's liver and fucking got the fuck out of there, 221 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: Like you know, we already know his true character. We 222 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: knew his true character. You didn't need to know the 223 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: history of how he's treated comics to know that his 224 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: true character is already out in the open. It's so 225 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: it was good look for Ralph, made him look even better, 226 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: like he was already doing great, he was going viral 227 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: and that just fucking sent him even further to the 228 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: galaxy of fame because and good for him. Like, hey, man, 229 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: if hating on people is a way to get you notice, 230 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: fucking hate on me, bitch, hate on me. You you enter, 231 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: you performed like Ralph performed at the Hollywood Improv and 232 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: you were on the line up.

They 235 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: need it, they deserve it, they do need it. I mean, 236 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, hey, man, if you can't bust ball, like 237 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: if the only person busting balls is a girl, Like, 238 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: come on, guys, get some bigger balls.

And she 334 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: was also like looking out for me in ways that hey, 335 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: I won't ever know and be I also know. And 336 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: some of it was like stupid, superficial shit, but it's 337 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: not stupid, and you know, it's like she knows I 338 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: care how I want my hair to look in the shot. 339 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: She knows I care how I want to you know, 340 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: um come off and my best my best, my best 341 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: angles and shit and so um, just simple shit like that. 342 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: It was like for me, it was important to um 343 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: work with someone that I admire and and who has 344 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: been my friend for a long time. I think I've 345 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: known her for a like maybe fifteen years up in 346 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 1: that space, and um, we've never liked I think in 347 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: the last few years, I think because of the pandemic 348 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: and you know, women comedians really like, we started to 349 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: lean on each other more and and our experiences and um, 350 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: realizing that the shit is really, really really fucked if 351 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: we don't have each other's backs because of pandemic, Like 352 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: the pandemic shutting comedy down was fucking hard on a 353 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: lot of com It was hard on everybody. Let's be real, 354 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: it was hard on everybody, but I think for comics 355 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: it was like, oh, what are we gonna do? This 356 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: is so shitty, Like just when things were like kind 357 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: of looking good for women in comedy, you know, this 358 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: whole shit shuts down. So yeah, it worked out. It 359 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: was cool. I was really happy to work with her 360 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: and it was cool to just it was also just 361 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: cool to have a woman director anymore of that shit, definitely. 362 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm curious now when you bring up the pandemic and 363 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: the impact it had on comedians, do you did you 364 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: see like comedians drop out of comedy altogether and not 365 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: come back, or did you I saw comedians kill themselves. 366 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: The pandemic was hard, Like there was so many, so 367 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: many ways for people to get out of the game, 368 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: and it was really heartbreaking to see it to that degree. 369 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: Like that shit was fucking crazy to me. But also 370 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: the pandemic was fucking crazy. We will never experience something 371 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: like that again. I mean we're still dealing with it. 372 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: The government saying that it's not real. Whatever the fuck 373 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: or it's not a problem, even though it totally still is. 374 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: But um, you know, watching people give up or forcing 375 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: people to go like, you know what, I don't want 376 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: to do calm, Like I said, some people use it 377 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: as a stepping stone. It was it almost like the 378 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: pandemic shutting down everything, almost like force people to be 379 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: like what is the path that you want to take? 380 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: Like really, what do you do? You really want to 381 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: do this stand up shit? You know? Um? And that 382 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: was interesting because we saw people who gave up stand up, 383 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: but then they started pursuing something else entirely. I think 384 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: that like Quinta is such a perfect example of someone 385 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: who used to do stand up. She was so good 386 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: at stand up. She may dabble with it again, but 387 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: I love that during the pandemic, we have this fucking 388 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: great new show because she fucking stuck to her guns. 389 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: She had already. I think I think Women Crush Onesdays 390 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: might have been one of her last stand up sets, 391 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: like in that, like when her last month of performing, 392 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: you know, she like she she came to do my 393 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: I've pressured her to do my shows, like bitch, come 394 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: do this shit. I haven't done it in so long, 395 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: like you're so naturally funny, it doesn't matter. And she 396 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: did it. She had a great time, but it was 397 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: at that space where she was like, yeah, I think 398 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: I am definitely getting out of stand up and just 399 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: going to focus on TV. So, you know, even though 400 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: she didn't quit stand up during the pandemic, to watch 401 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: her star rise during the pandemic was fucking awesome. Because 402 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: it's also a proof that, like, you know, if you 403 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: use it as a stepping stone, you know, you you 404 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: will find the thing that you really want to do, 405 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: because I think a lot of us were when you're natural, 406 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: When you're natural performers, you don't know exactly where you 407 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: want to land yet when you start performing, and it 408 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: could be in the theater, it could like Michael Keaton 409 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: started as a stand up comedian and a lot of 410 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 1: people don't know that, right, that's how he started. And 411 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: now that's such a far away place for him. And 412 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: and that's good, you know, like it's good that's stand 413 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: up because stand up is accessible to people, Like you 414 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: don't have to have money to do stand up. You 415 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: don't you have to be near an area that does 416 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: stand up and maybe that's where the gas money kicks in. 417 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: But I do love that stand up is so accessible 418 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: to everyone. You do not need to have anything. You 419 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: literally don't need anything. You just need to be able 420 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: to speak in front of an audience and that's it. 421 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: So I don't think. I don't know if I answered 422 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: your question, But you know, we saw a lot of 423 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: stand ups come in and out of comedy, and I 424 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: feel bad for the comics who like started right before 425 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: the shutdown because their experience is completely unique to them. Like, 426 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 1: I will never understand that experience. Some people's, you know, 427 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: for shows were on Zoom. That is wild to me. 428 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, so we've seen an influx on on both sides, 429 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: and I think it's it's interesting the pandemic really shifted 430 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: performance art in general. Yeah, at what point did you 431 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: have that moment yourself in the pandemic, that question, that 432 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: conversation do I keep doing stand up? Do I do 433 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: something else? Oh? Yeah, there was a I think in 434 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, probably around the summer. I like I went 435 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: online and like, uh signed up for information to get 436 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: like a psychology degree. I was like, let me look 437 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: at these online schools. I just like signed up because 438 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: I was like, what if this shit really fucking I 439 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: was here was the thing. I wasn't ready to do that, 440 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: but I was mentally preparing myself for the possibility that 441 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: I had to do that, you know what I mean, 442 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: because I was like, we all nobody knew what was 443 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: going to happen. People acted like they knew. Nobody knew, 444 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,239 Speaker 1: and I was fine with being like, all right, if 445 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: I had a fucking give in, I gotta give in. 446 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: But thankfully I didn't have to. But you know, that's 447 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: that's the reality. You know, the pandemic had all of 448 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: us shook as fuck. Unless you were rich as hell, 449 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: we were all shook. So how are you feeling now? 450 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: Like we're talking about the pandemic and all the shifts 451 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: and so now you're touring again, you have the special? 452 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: How are you feeling now? Obviously the pandemic isn't over. 453 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: Have you seen a shift in like audience attendance or 454 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: just how you're feeling like showing up in the world. Yeah, 455 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely have seen a shift in in 456 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: my brain because I think there was a there was 457 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: a moment like the week before the special came out 458 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: in February that I was like, I can't be bitter 459 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: like I can't be bitter anymore, Like I can't eventually 460 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: probably get tap into it a little more. But I 461 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: was like, if industry finally showed me love, like for real, 462 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: like my stand up, they finally showed my stand up love, 463 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: and um, I mean there's still hurdles to cross, but 464 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: I was like, I can't. I can no longer say 465 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: that nobody wants to put my stand up, my stand 466 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: up on television, Like, yeah, I had to Dope Queen, 467 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: that was a homie hookup type shit, you know, like 468 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: we all know that's how a lot of people get 469 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: on TV. And Two Dope Queens was absolutely that that 470 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: was straight up homye hook up shit. But I killed 471 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: that shit, so nobody can say that it wasn't you know, 472 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: the effort wasn't there. But um the HBO Max shit 473 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: kind of made me be like, even though I had 474 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: a technically is a homie hook up, they still have 475 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: to approve that shit. They still have to go, Okay, 476 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: we'll do this, you know, they still have to say yes. 477 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: And so um as opposed to Two Dope Queens, where 478 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: it's like, nah, they just fucking they gave a lot 479 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: of homies, a lot of hookups and it's great because 480 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: that's what we should use, you know, our our platforms 481 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: for um because look at that was before oh my god, 482 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: Bowen Yang was on SNL. You know, like that was 483 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: that was part of his you know, rise to the top, 484 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: and now he's fucking killing it and now I don't 485 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: even know if he does stand up, and you know, 486 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: good for him. He had that stepping stone, and so 487 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: I had to be like, yeah, I can't be fucking 488 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: bitter and angry, even though I have reasons to be 489 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 1: bitter and angry. But I was like, I have the 490 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: thing that I've been wanting forever and it's and it's 491 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: really fucking good, and nobody could take that away from me. 492 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: And so I'm I'm just trying to sit in happiness. 493 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm trying to make sure that any negative thoughts I have, 494 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: I'm trying to flip them and turn them into positive thoughts. 495 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: Because I definitely was like, I can't be that bitter 496 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: comic the way I was because I didn't have a 497 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,959 Speaker 1: half hour or an hour m because my stand up, 498 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: like I said, it's most important to me. So yeah, 499 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: I feel like I haven't been funny at all on 500 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: this episode. Sorry, ask me a really great questions. If 501 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: they want to see you be funny, they can watch 502 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: they watch the special. That's true, right, Yeah, I'm super 503 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: curious about the two other projects that you mentioned on 504 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: this show already, the Motivational Monday Meditations and the Mercury 505 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: and Get album that's coming. Tell us more about those 506 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: two different projects. So the meditation album, I'm really proud 507 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: of it because it's like it's meditation for a real bitch, 508 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: because I can't do that, like the Western interpretation of 509 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: you know, meditation. U. It doesn't sit well with me. 510 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: I don't like it. It doesn't feel real. It almost 511 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: feels like people are taking themselves too serious so that 512 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: they can find peace. And it's like, bro, the way 513 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: to find peace is to fucking enjoy yourself, like truly, 514 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: you know. Um. And So my meditation album, my partner 515 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: and I we made it in Joshua, true. We went 516 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: out for like a week. He produced it, he mixed it, 517 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: we collaborated. It was awesome. It was also, like I 518 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: said earlier, sometimes you don't know how it's gonna be 519 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: when you work with the loved one. And we did 520 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: it well, we meshed well. It was made me so 521 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: happy because I was like, we're gonna work on other 522 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: projects in the future. I am so fucking ready for that. 523 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: We will and those will come when they come. But 524 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: I love it because it's it's literally actual meditation tracks, 525 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: but with my sense of humor sprinkled into it. So 526 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: it really like just when you feel like I can't 527 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: do this, this is so fucking serious and my brain 528 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: is like not focusing. I fucking you know, drop a 529 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: F bomb or you know, drop some language, you know, 530 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: and something silly, and it loosens you up a little 531 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: and you go like, oh, hey, yeah, I am relaxed. Yeah, 532 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: let me keep listening to this, so yeah, please stream 533 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: And it's really great and Celia at the same time 534 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: and my second studio and my second stand up album 535 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: was one of the worst weekends I've ever performed stand 536 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: up one of my worst headlining weekends, I should say, 537 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: when I was headlining and we recorded it for an album, 538 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: and it was one of the worst weekend. Like personally 539 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: at the shows, it was like my brother had got 540 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: me sick with a cold and I had to perform 541 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: because I was like, it's literally the day before, like 542 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: I'm not going to cancel this dawn weekend and also 543 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: like I'm not going to be near these people. I'm 544 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: not gonna get anyone sick, right, And I knew it 545 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: was just a cold, and so I was like, I'm 546 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: just gonna do it. But performing when you're six sucks, 547 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: sucks so bad. So my voice even sounds a little weird, 548 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: and I talked about it being sick, and then um, yeah, 549 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: the crowd. So we didn't know this going into the weekend. 550 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: The club didn't know and I didn't know it. But 551 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: it was graduation weekend, and so a lot of people 552 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: were out of town, and a lot of people were 553 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: in town, like grandparents and parents who I wouldn't want 554 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: them to bring them to my show. And because they 555 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: were all older, conservative really that's what it was. So 556 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: they were sitting at the show, but they're young, you know, 557 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: recently graduated, you know, young adults. And what made it 558 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: funny was like sometimes the young person would be laughing 559 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: and it would make the older person uncomfortable. And sometimes 560 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: the older person would be laughing it would make the 561 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: younger person uncomfortable. And so it was just like nobody 562 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: was relaxed in that room. And then for some reason, 563 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: every show had like one weird character in it. And 564 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: this and this actually goes back to me being proud 565 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: of my special being done in one take. We had 566 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: to really use all four shows to try to put 567 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: something together because it was so not a good, smooth weekend. 568 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: And I like that because it's like it, you know, 569 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: I was like, whatever, this is. This is more normal 570 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: because even though Woke Bully my first album, that was 571 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: mostly a one take show, I think we use like 572 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: two or three jokes from the second show just because 573 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: I sucked them up, I said them wrong. But that 574 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: was also very much like a in the spectrum of 575 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: a one take show. But this was like noah, I 576 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: think we we may have mostly used three three sets, 577 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: but every show there was like one woman who admitted 578 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: to roofing her husband. There was like another show where 579 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: a guy like he kept going yeah, yeah, yeah for 580 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: every joke and use that audio like it's just so 581 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: distracting and it distracted the audience and it distracted me. 582 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: And it was like it was like so many like 583 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: just little weird things that normally not a big deal, 584 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: but at your album recording and they're all happening at 585 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: every single show. It was damn And what was funny 586 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: was when I got sick and I'd called my friend. 587 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: My friend Daniel was like, hey girl, you know I 588 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: got sick right before the show. I'm so mad I 589 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: have to record this album. And she was like, oh, 590 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, Mercury isn't whatever the fuck you know whatever? 591 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: You know, she gave me one. Instead of being like, oh, 592 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: that sucks that you're sick, like she didn't. She literally 593 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: threat and I was like, what says that to someone 594 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: who like is really sad about something. And then but 595 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: then it was like every show something weird happened, like 596 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: I never like like fall on stage. I almost fell, 597 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: I like got I lost balance on one of my heels. 598 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: And it was a Friday, the thirteenth that weekend, and 599 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: Mercury was in retrograde that weekend, and there was a 600 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: full moon that weekend, so it was like a legitimately 601 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: chaotic yeah, and not just like I mean, I should say, 602 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: it was like it felt like it was just a show, 603 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: but it was really like, no, there's people are in 604 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: a weird space. There was people up. There was a 605 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: fucking lady in the audience who said she was a 606 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: oh she she was a spiritual something, and I didn't 607 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: know what that was. Oh my god, I wish I 608 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: could remember what she said spiritual She works in spiritual care, 609 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: she said, oh, and and so when she said that, 610 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: I was like, does that mean you help people like 611 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: that are dying and that like really need your help? 612 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: Are you exploiting like white women? And the audience there 613 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: was a huge laugh, which made me be like, Oh, 614 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: it's one of those I nailed it, and I was. 615 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: After the show, someone explained to me that spiritual care 616 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: is when these women they guilt trip women who are 617 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: deciding to have an abortion, and they guilt trip these 618 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: women that um, and they shame them into keeping the baby, 619 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: and they pretend like they're going to support this person 620 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: and their child when the baby is there, and in 621 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: fact no, once the baby is born, they peece out 622 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: on these bitches and they leave them after fate giving 623 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: them support after guilt tripping them into keep That's what 624 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: this bitch does for a living. And that's why when 625 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: I guessed it like that, the audience like gave the 626 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: reaction because they actually were like, oh, you nailed it. 627 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: But she stopped answering my questions, and so it was 628 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: that thing where I was like, that's like crowd work. 629 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: That was like accurate but also awkward and awful. Yeah, 630 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: and I kept it in because I was like, I'm 631 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: glad that people who know they know that that's what 632 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: it is. But it was like shit like that role. 633 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: I was like, Yeah, if this bitch had looked me up, 634 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: she would have not come to my show. But people 635 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: they don't. They just buy tickets to comedy shows without 636 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: even doing any research on who you know, who the 637 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: comedian is, and they should they should at least that 638 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: like one or two people on the fucking lineup, right, 639 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: And so it was like a lot of that in 640 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: the audience, a lot of very conservative Republicans in the audience. 641 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,959 Speaker 1: And it was because they were in town where Child's graduation. 642 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: Where were you? Was this in La No, it was 643 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: in Fort Collins, Colorado, and it's a college. It's a 644 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: college city. So every time I've done shows there, I 645 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: fucking smashed it. They had hella progressive women. It was 646 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: the dopest experience. That's why I decided to record it 647 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: there because that's usually the vibe. But because of graduation 648 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: weekend threw off everything. Dang, it's the details it's all 649 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: so it sounds like, yeah, it lines up the way 650 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: it's supposed to line up. You know. That's the difference, 651 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: just like with this special, Like these are all people 652 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: that wanted to be at their recording. They wanted to 653 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: watch me, Like that's why I fucking killed it. And 654 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: it's it's wild too, because that album was supposed to 655 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: be the material that's on the special. That initially was 656 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: me being like, I'm done with this material and it's 657 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: not trying to live anywhere. Nobody wants it, so I'm 658 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: just gonna put it on another album. But the material 659 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: did fucking terrible. The material, like I tried to do 660 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: that Cardi b broke boys don't deserve no pussy, I 661 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: know that's right, and no response, don't do good but 662 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: not get a laugh, And I was like, oh my god, 663 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: I'm so over this material, but I wanted to live 664 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,719 Speaker 1: somewhere and I can't believe when we finally arranged it 665 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: to be recorded, it did terrible. So I was forced 666 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: into doing crowd work, telling stories, like, you know, trying 667 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: to just go with the flow of it because I'm 668 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: a good fucking comedian, and I did, and I like it. 669 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: Was fine, and it was you know, every show had 670 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: like highlights, but it was like heartbreaking in that moment. 671 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: And in fact, when I had to edit the album, 672 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: it was after the special because obviously now I was like, 673 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: oh the special. I think the special got offered like 674 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: a month or two after this was done, and so um, 675 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: I was like, oh fuck, no brainer. I'm using all 676 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: the material that didn't do good and I wanted to 677 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: live somewhere, and um, yeah, it was wild because I 678 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: listened to that recording again after the album, after the 679 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: special was taped. It's really wild hearing the same jokes 680 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: a round of applause versus a complete dead silence. It's 681 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: fucking crazy. And it's comedy is objective. That that's proof 682 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: that comedy is objective. There are some people the material 683 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: is for, and there's some people the material is not for. 684 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: That must be give you like insane whip lash. Right. Yeah, 685 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: because the Cardi B joke like landed so well in 686 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: the special, Like the crowd was like singing along with you, 687 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,239 Speaker 1: like they were here for the Cardi B joke. They 688 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: understood it, they connected with it. That's wild. It's really fun. Yeah, 689 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: that's and that's which is how comedy is, especially when 690 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: you're on the road. I mean that was the thing 691 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: that taping for the album felt like I was doing 692 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: a road gig like I was. I felt like I 693 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: was opening for someone else and doing bad, like I 694 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: was performing in in front of someone else's audience. And 695 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: I was just doing terrible, which is very common on 696 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: the road. But also it's how you get stronger, you know. 697 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: Because I didn't like succumb to their lack of laughter, 698 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: I decided to like, roll with the punches, do crowd work, 699 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: find some stories, you know, make you know, find some 700 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: some connections, and we did. Like the weekend was like fine, 701 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: but it's just for an album recording. It was fucking terrible, 702 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: you know.
