In two thousand and three, I wrote a 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:18.360 song called uh hanikah hey ya, which is years twenty 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.639 years this week, I think roughly around honikoh this year, 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.880 twenty years ago. And somebody, a listener sent me a graphic. 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.280 It was Eric selling that song hanikah Haya, and it 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.680 said it has heard on Elvistran in the morning shows 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.720 you one hundred New York. And I said, whoa, whoa, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.440 oh wait, I wrote that song. I don't need some 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.679 guy from California taking credit for my shit. I don't 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.440 accomplish very much. I write song parodies for a living. No, 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.120 I'm reaching out to this guy. Very typical. It opens 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:44.560 with the. 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.440 Fights West Coast rivalry. 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.360 It opens all of Brody's contacts. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.040 Always opens with an argument, a debate, or a fight 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.480 or something that Brody had to needle somebody on. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.960 It started this way, Yes, so I reached it. I 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.200 reached out to Eric. It's all like ready to fight, 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.680 and Eric responded with, oh gosh, I'm so sorry. One 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.440 of my one of my fans told me he heard 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.760 it on your station. I assumed it was mine, no problem, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.919 and he redid the graphic and he apologized. He apologize, 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.560 and I'm like, this guy's not even gonna fight me. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.760 What kind of West Coast guy is this? He's like, okay, typical, 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.000 it's a typical West Coast person. It was not Biggie Tupac. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:24.520 It was like, you know, hi, Okay. Done. And so 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.440 the next time Eric came to New York, I invited 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.440 him up to see one hundred. We did a honka 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.480 song battle which he stabbed me, which you can find 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.960 on YouTube, which is a bunch of my honka songs, 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.160 a bunch of his. I think this it's so long. 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.680 I think we did two videos and just search. David 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.200 brought it on YouTube and you'll and and you'll see 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.600 the honka battles and you'll enjoy a little blast from 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.520 the Jewish past. And we've been friends ever since. And 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:49.840 unlike me, Eric has the ability to sing and rap 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.200 and record and edit and do all this stuff. And 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.040 he he does stand up. But do you have the 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:56.600 ability to complain. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.760 Not as good as David. David, you got me on. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.520 David's got it down. Pat David wins every argument in 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.440 my defense. With Eric's talent, he has a lot less 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.040 to complain about. So why is Eric here today? On 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:12.560 our podcast? Eric has a comedy special dropping as of 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.480 it'll be available as of November twenty fourth. It's called Delivery, 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.440 and I watched it twice already, and I have to say, sir, 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.200 not as slice as you will love it. But this 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.839 man is is fucked up. He has some issues with 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:31.279 his appearance, his fraternal background, his paternal background. I thought 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.280 Eric was just a Jew from la I'm like, I'm 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.200 a Jew from New York and that's it. My parents 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.720 are Jewish. That's the end of my story. Uh, if 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.080 you watch this episode of this this special dropping, Eric 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.080 has this incredible background. So Eric, tell everybody the name 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.279 of your special, why it's called Delivery, and then explain 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.479 this multicultural thing. I had no idea about yees. 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.160 So it's called delivery for two reasons. My delivery method 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.479 is different. I do stand up at its core, but 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.240 I deliver it with multimedia and music. That's the first meaning. 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.480 The second meaning is a rebirth, so you actually see 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.719 me and feel me and hear me. Being born from conception. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.120 It's a rebirth into the world of comedy and for 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:13.960 all the new people that are gonna discover me and 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.880 be my new comedy parents out there, it's for you. 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.479 So that's why it's called delivery. And yes, I come 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.719 from a multicultural family. When you look at me, you're like, 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.160 why is NBA commissioner Adam Silver on the podcast? 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:28.920 You look exactly like him. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:29.919 Yeah. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.359 I've been told that so many times that I just 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.480 put that in my show. And you know, I am 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.839 a ball guy with glasses, but looks can be deceiving. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.760 I'm actually group in a multicultural family. I am a 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:50.440 quarter step Mexican. My stepfather Esmahicano e vivo pa. That's 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.000 the culture gura. Like when I gurdua, some people ask 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:55.560 me what does kurtura mean? 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:56.520 And I say, it's. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.679 One letter off of culture and if you couldn't figure 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.760 that out, you need to, you know. I sing Mariacci 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:16.800 in the special You Also Diversity. I had to do 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.880 that so that my stepdad would tell me he loved me. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.919 It's really hard. Well, I had to impress him. 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.560 One of the other things you talk about in being 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.880 having Mexican culture in your upbringing. Is that your stepfather 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.800 and you said you said in the podcast you not 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.080 only step present, you fully represent, which I thought that 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:38.839 presents a fantastic word, that you fully represent the right missing. 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:42.400 Right if you really want to say it, you gotta 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.280 like you gotta do a male kgo. 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.919 That's yes, almost Japanese right, like almost like a little 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:53.880 butt clench or yeah, I learned I learned restaurants Spanish, 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.280 so when I managed restaurants, I learned, like, but I 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.520 cast you on piece of mahadeo, which might be careful 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.880 of floor, is wetomons, which means any shrimp. So I 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.920 knew how to like us, which may clean them song 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.280 as Yeah, but that's it. That's it. So if you 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.160 don't work on a restaurant with me, I can't really 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.120 have a conversation with you. 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.520 So you grew up, You grew up with both influences 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.880 in your in your in your house, right, I'm taking. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.160 It both sides of yes. 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.200 For instance, like here when it comes to like food eating, 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.640 are you you like pastrami tacos? 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.400 I mean, is that kind of thing you do? 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.520 Say that there's a lot of uh, you know, my 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.720 whole catchphrase with being a quarterstep Mexican jew is Charlon. 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:38.480 You know, I love the comparison you're in the video 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.680 delivery when people go to watch the concert. The comparisons 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:47.200 and the cross cultural references you make about bar mitzvahs 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.840 with a Mexican flair hilarious, hilarious. 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:51.200 Uh. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.080 The way you combine the two cultures verbally, uh, brilliant 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.480 and so. One of the things your your stepfather taught 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.960 you was Spanish, obviously, but you go on to say 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.520 that he didn't teach you easy Spanish. He didn't teach 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.640 you mother and father. He taught you very difficult Spanish words, 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.720 and you learned to show him a lesson. I guess 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.640 the most difficult, longest word in Spanish that there is 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:21.200 now in English. I learned no moona ultra microscopic xilaicovo canoconiosis, 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.040 which is forty five letters, and it's a disease of 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.400 the lungs caused by breathing and courts dust in minds. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.640 So I didn't create a routine around that because everyone 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.480 in my class knew how to say no moona ultra 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:37.640 microscopic silaicova cano coniosis. However, God, you you create like 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.520 ten minutes of hilarious content around can you say I tried, 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.640 you tried to help the audience say it. I tried, 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.400 I paused it. I was going to write it down. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.439 I can't comprehend it. So what is the word that 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.079 you you make a whole bit about in your special. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:57.319 The password is baran, that's right. But I had to 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.120 learn how to. I had an ingrainient into my brain 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:00.280 to get I. 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:01.600 You know, I had to make up a dance and 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.400 like ban gimiquettoqueto. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.320 Yeah, I would have managed. I would imagine that there 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.600 are people who speak all different dialects of Spanish, because, 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.360 as most people know, people in Venezuela don't speak the 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.760 same Spanish as Columbia or Spain. They all have their 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.720 own dialects. I would imagine most people listening to this podcast, 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.520 if you are of Spanish speaking descent, yeah, I hate 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.200 when people say if you're Spanish, no, no, that's only 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.520 if you're from Spain. If you're from a Spanish speaking 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.320 descent family, you may have never heard that word. You 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:35.680 may have never said that word. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:35.880 No. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.760 Still as a as a Hispanic person, you may not 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.680 even be able or Latina Latino Latin X as you 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.720 you say in the special. There's different ways to pronounce it. 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.160 Although the way you pronounce your Filipino girlfriend, yeah, the way. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.240 You say say right Filipino Filipina doesn't work to put 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:51.880 the X on the end because then it becomes the 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.800 most masculine thing ever Philippine X. 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.839 Yes, that doesn't work. That's that word is. 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.560 Is actually not It's a Mexican word. 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.240 Also, if you're outside of Mexican culture, you you do 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.320 probably do not know this word. It's actually a name 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.440 of the volcano in mitchell Kan Is a city that 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.280 had a volcano, has a volcano called San Juan. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.560 And so this is like a tongue twister that your 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.640 dad teaches you.
