161
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: it's for them to catch you. Maybe that being said, look,

181
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: I don't even think a lot of LA fans would't

187
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: If I wasn't vindictive, I wouldn't have a career, right,

188
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm still every time I'm getting on stage, I still

189
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: think about open micers from ten years ago that kissed

190
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: me off.

191
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,360

00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: Other their booth comedians with other comedians.

194
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, my first time on stage, I got booed by

195
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: the open micros.

196
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: Come on, bro, look, how thought you were supposed support

197
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: each other.

198
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: For the most part, we do. But it was like

199
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 2: my first open mic ever. Sign up was like at

200
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: five pm. Mike starts at eight pm. By the time

201
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: I go up, it's like one in the morning. Oh,

202
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: there's like there's the host, the guy who's hosting the mic,

203
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: and then there's like another local comic open micro and

204
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: then his buddy were there and so he was just

205
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: on after me, but he was drunk at that point.

206
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: So by the time I get up there and I

207
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: just start talking, he's like get So I was like,

208
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: all right, that's my time.

209
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: So you cut your set short cut you, I mean,

210
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: open mic, what do you get five minutes, ten minutes?

211
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: Maybe at one am you get three minutes.

212
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: Three minutes, so you could holdo on. You only had

213
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: three minutes, and he got up there. He was already

214
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, a little ineborated.

215
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: Got about a minute, fifteen minute, twenty and.

216
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: You cut your own you cut your own set short.

217
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: My first like year of comedy, anytime anybody would yell,

218
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: I would get off stage, I'll get nervous, damn. But

219
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: you know it's like repetition. Now I'm stage so much

220
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: that if people talk to me like I'm more comfortable,

221
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm way more comfortable than anybody in the audience. Right

222
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: the stage, like it don't matter what stage it is,

223
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: any stage, And I think any comic will agree after

224
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: you do it so many times, the stage is like

225
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: your house, right, How are you gonna talk shit to

226
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: me in my house?

227
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: Right?

228
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: So it's fun now.

229
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: You know what you know what I like about you, Ralph,

230
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: is that because most of the comedian that I've had

231
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: up here, oh, they've never been booed. They started off

232
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: and they were already at the level they are now

233
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: they almost like it seemed makes it seem like they

234
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: started off at that level and you were here because

235
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: like man, when I went to over mic Man, I

236
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: got booed. There were but four people in the house,

237
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: and one of them was supposed to come on after me,

238
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: and he booted.

239
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 2: Every comedian is lying. Every comedian is lying. I don't

240
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: care who you are. Your first year is trash. Yeah,

241
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 2: and maybe it wasn't as trash as mine or as

242
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: the next comedian.

243
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: But you had to be a start from somewhere.

244
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. If you were that funny in your first year

245
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: of comedy, you had already been touring in your first

246
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 2: year of comedy, something would have popped off.

247
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: What was it like growing up in Dallas?

248
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: I technically grew up in a Mesquite is like a

249
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: suburb of Dallas, and I spent a lot of my

250
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: weekends in o'cliff, which is like a hood of Dallas,

251
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: but it was like in Olcliff. They make fun of

252
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: me for being in Mesquite. Yeah, because you know, Mosquiite

253
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: was kind of for people that were actually from the

254
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: Mosquite was like a nice neighborhood. But to white people,

255
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: Mosquite was still trash. So I feel like I couldn't win.

256
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: So being in the Mesquite if you're like, it's a

257
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: nice area if you're there, but if you're not from Mosquite,

258
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: they're like, bro where you from? Oh? Nah?

259
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: I don't know how to explain it, and then I'm

260
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 2: like a block away from Dallas, like from the county line,

261
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: there's no difference, Like, there's not a big difference. But

262
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: because I was a block away, if Dallas people would

263
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: hear me claim Dallas, it'd be like, you're not from here, Yeah,

264
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 2: you're from across the street from But then I got

265
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: on Netflix and everybody was like, you know, he's from Dallas.

266
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: Right, So then once you started popping, then it wanted

267
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: to claim you.

268
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, county lines didn't matter no more.

269
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: I read your grandmother raised you, My grandma other raised

270
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: made What would what would I mean? I don't I

271
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: don't know your situation with your mom, but what was

272
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: that experience like with grandma's Because grandmas are normally a

273
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: little bit more strict than moms.

274
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: My grandma was not. From what I hear, my grandma

275
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: and my grandpa were really strict and tough on my

276
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: mom and my uncle. But to me, they were like

277
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: the best parents in the world, and soup like spoiled

278
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: me my grandma. As soon as school would be out,

279
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: my grandma would take us down to Mexico. She would

280
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: drive like me and my cousin and sometimes I'll take

281
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: you like a friend and then she would go to like,

282
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: uh because we visit like three different cities. We got family,

283
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: like in three different cities in Mexico. So she would

284
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: drive to like the furthest city out to pick up

285
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,200

Speaker 2: We were in a single cab pickup truck just righting

290
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: in the bed of the truck through Mexico over there.

291
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: That's cool, Like they don't trip on that.

292
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: We did that when we were younger, Ralph, but we

293
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: were working. We were going to the field. Yeah.

Speaker 1: But yeah, we used to gopare parts you get you got.

303
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: My grandma used to take us to yell at prostitutes

00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: in Mexico.

305
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: What.

Speaker 2: take us to like a little corner store where they

314
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: got women in bikinis that serve you like liquor and stuff. Yeah,

315
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: we were buying liquors or were just buying like chips

316
00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: and sodas.

317
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you talking about buying something else.

318
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: But one time I yelled at one of the bikini

319
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: ladies to call me. So then my grandma started driving

320
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: around to like where they would be like hookers and stuff.

321
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: And then we'd all just yell like let me get

322
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: your number and stuff, and then she would drive off

323
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: and she would just laugh. I had a great childhood.

324
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: Great granty was like that.

325
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: She was fun.

326
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Why do you feel that? And I feel this exact

327
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: same way that grandparents are so instrumental, instrumental in minority communities.

328
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think, I think, I think within

329
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: minority communities, and I'm not trying to like disrespect white people.

330
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: Maybe it's not.

331
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: A we can only speak to what we know it.

332
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: Maybe it's like a money thing. But I think that

333
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: when when you have less, you cherish your family more.

334
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: So I think maybe like the grandparents get a lot

335
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: wiser minority communities, I think grand I think in minority communities,

336
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: our grandparents were the first to realize that if you

337
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: if you raise your kids right, you can spoil your grandkids.

338
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: But if you spoil your kids, you end upraising your grandkids.

339
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Correct.

340
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: So I think my grandma knew like, all right, well

341
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: I gotta raise them now. But at the same time,

342
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: like he and my kids, I can spoil them.

343
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: Because he get bad, I send him back to his

344
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: mom and dad.

345
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

346
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: Uh man, let me ask you this. You said your

347
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: grand your girlfriend parents never argued in front of her girl,

348
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: your ex girlfriend. But but your parents, like they could.

349
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: They say, okay, he's around that, let's go.

350
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: I think sometimes my grandpa would argue with my grandma

351
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: in front of me on purpose to I think he

352
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: would do it to be like, look, this is what

353
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: you need to be, like you want to show you

354
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: he's the mad And then my grandma would do it

355
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: because she'll be like, look, this is what you don't

356
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: need to be Like like, I don't know. I would

357
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: just ignore them. But it's hard to ignore them because

358
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: like my room was right in front of the living room,

359
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: so like I hear everything.

360
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Right, but what what were some of the things they

361
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: would argue about you coming in late? You know, maybe

362
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: some bills didn't paid, maybe this or that.

363
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: With my grandpa, as he got older, started I think

364
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: losing his authority and so, like he used to be

365
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: the type, I mean, he was always the type to

366
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: tell my grandma, like where you at. You need to

367
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: be home at this time. I need my dinner, I

368
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: need this right. But as I started getting older, as

369
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: I was like a teenager, my grandma would would meet

370
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: up with all her her old lady friends from the

371
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: neighborhood and from down the street to with her and player,

372
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: you're playing lotta it's like Mexican bingo, but instead of numbers,

373
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: it's like little pictures. And they were and her and

374
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: her friends will play till like two three in the morning,

375
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: to take a little cigarette breaks and go back. And

376
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: the gambling like little dollar games, two dollar games, and

377
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: so my grandpa would be mad he would be calling

378
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: her and calling, blowing up her phone, like she needs

379
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: to come home, and one day she just like stopped.

380
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: She was just like, man, I don't care. So they

381
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: would argue about that sometimes, like she'll get home and

382
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: he'll be mad, or the next day he'll be mad,

383
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: tell her he can't be doing that. But she was like, man,

384
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: I don't give a damn no more.

385
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: I tell you. Is it true that you would get

386
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: in trouble at school? The teachers would call home, call

387
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: your house, and then you would translate for your grandmother.

388
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: What they would say it is Spanish, which was actually

389
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: wasn't what.

390
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: They would say that that really only happened like one time,

391
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: but every couple of times that I would have to

392
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: translate anything, like even if I was in trouble, my

393
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: grandma would assume that I was in trouble, but she

394
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: also wouldn't really care my mom. My mom lives with

395
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: us too. My mom just move out sometimes and then

396
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 2: come back and stuff. My mom when she when she

397
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: was living with us, she would be the one to

398
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: be more mad, like if I got in trouble. So

399
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: my grandma would tell me, like, if you're in trouble,

400
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: just call my phone, like because she wouldn't understand the manuay.

401
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: She'd be like, oh okay, like we'll talk about it

402
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: and then like just whatever, hang up, So like she

403
00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: didn't even.

404
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: Care, but you translated you like, oh yeah, girl, Mike

405
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: was good. They said I got good grades, or they

406
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: said I was I was well behaved. But were you?

407
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: Were you a class clown? Were you always funny? So

408
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: how did you how did you stumble or did you

409
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: stumble upon this comedic side of you? Did you know

410
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: you always wanted to be a comedian? How did that

411
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: come about?

412
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 2: I knew I wanted to be a comedian, but I

413
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 2: was I was only class clown in some classes. Right

414
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: as a kid, I was always nervous about my voice.

415
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: I didn't I was insecure about the way I sounded

416
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 2: when I talked. I felt like I sounded goofy, like

417
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: like in a bad way. I had a friend named Madlex.

418
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: I have a friend named Alex Ross's and he's always

419
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 2: really handsome and he talked really like suave, and I

420
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: would be like, bro, I want to talk like how

421
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: you talk like. But when I talked, people don't really

422
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: take me serious. So what I would do, especially when

423
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: I got to like high school is on the first

424
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: couple of weeks of school, I would test the waters

425
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: and I would try to throw a joke out there

426
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: or something. And if they, I know, I could be

427
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 2: a class clown in this class. And if they didn't,

428
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't talk. But I didn't like my voice

429
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: enough to just conversate with anybody. Also was nervous to

430
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: talk to people went on one conversation, so I wouldn't

431
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: talk unless it was like something goofy to say, but

432
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: if they weren't really laughing, like laughing at my drugs,

433
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: and I just wouldn't talk the whole year in that class.

434
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: Your grandmother grew up in Mexico. You grew up in

435
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: Mesquite close to Dallas, things of that nature. Did you

436
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time in Mexico as a child

437
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: other than just going, you know, your grandmother going, You're

438
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: taking your back and forth, And did you spend like,

439
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: say three weeks or a month or anything.

440
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I spent like three months over there every summer,

441
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: like the whole summer over there.

442
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: What was that experience, Like, what is the difference between

443
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: Mexico and say, you know you say you spend a

444
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: little time in Brownsville because that's the border town Laredo.

445
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: All that's close down there. So what's it like in

446
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: Mexico compared to where you were growing up in Mesquite, Dallas.

447
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: The we're from like the like the coast. Her family's

448
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: near the coast, so it was like, what's the name

449
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: of that gonna leap us? And so we're like at

450
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: the beach a lot beach all the time, so you know,

451
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: we're always swimming. It's fun over there, even like you know,

452
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: maybe my cousin's houses weren't as nice as like our

453
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: house back in the States. She was like our house,

454
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: but it was like it was funner. You learn, you

455
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: learn to, I guess to get a little humble little

456
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: town that my cousin is from, Carlos Womas, And it's

457
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: almost like a kick your kick your shoes off type

458
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: of vibe. Like the whole little town. Everybody knows everybody.

459
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: It's a dirt road town. I could walk barefoot, shirtless

460
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: through the whole town, Like you got to move to

461
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: the side so herd the cows can walk through. It's cool, man.

462
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: You see the beach right there, Like I would say

463
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: the difference is right there, you just be more casual,

464
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: whereas over here, like if I walk around out of shirt,

465
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: people probably think I'm on drugs or something. From barefoot

466
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: and shirt absolutely, so, like I don't know, out there's

467
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: just you feel a little more relaxed.

468
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: I think, what's the difference in cuisine, because you know,

469
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: everybody says like.

470
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: A lot more diaryeal over there, because.

471
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, like they have Okay, let's just say they

472
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: have Nigerian, you have correct Caribbe, you have Jamaican ex

473
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: for n Y and z and you might have that

474
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: in the States, but people that's from those areas says

475
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't actually taste like it does if it's over there.

476
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: You know, do you notice the difference, Like when you

477
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: go to Mexico and you have a dish from Mexico

478
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: and then they kicked that cook that same dish over

479
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: here in the States.

480
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I haven't been back so I was

481
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: a teenager. I mean the food is definitely grease here

482
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: from what I remember all over here over there, over

483
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 2: here over okay, okay, and you can get it, you

484
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: can match it over here, but you gotta go to

485
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: like a real hole in the spot. You know what

486
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: I mean when people don't people aren't trying to live

487
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 2: up to like any standards. Like people are just trying

488
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: to cook it the same way they cooked it when

489
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 2: they were back home.

490
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, you go to Mexico.

491
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take you to Mexico.

492
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Man.

493
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 2: I wanna go to the beach. I wanna take you

494
00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: pick up truck.

495
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: No no, no no, we got to go in the

496
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: sprinter in. We gotta go on the sprinter man. Uh

497
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: is it true that your grandmother told you that when

498
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: you came here, look, don't touch nothing, just say because

499
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: I guess she was.

500
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: Afraid, not not necessarily, like we'd see stuff on TV,

501
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: and uh, you know I was. I mean I was

502
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: a little kid, but it was like George Bush on

503
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: TV and a bunch of like new stuff. I rack

504
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: with her, right, But she would just be like like

505
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 2: her opinion about every politician was essentially be like they're crazy,

506
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: Like don't worry about that, they're crazy. But she she wouldn't.

507
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: She wouldn't like encourage me to like you need to vote,

508
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: or like you need to pay attention to this stuff.

509
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: Like no that she was just like like maybe maybe

510
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: once she actually told me like, don't even bother voting,

511
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 2: Like they're just all crazy.

512
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: So that'sh the grandmother that raised you. That was your

513
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: mom's mom, did your your father's mom? How did you

514
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: when you did you go spend time with her then?

515
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: But she had she had a lot of stories. You

516
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: sit down near your grandma, I feel like everybody at

517
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 2: least one of your grandma's like that where you sit

518
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: down and she just automatically starts the story that maybe

519
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: she left off at the last cookout.

520
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: And she remember to start telling it.

521
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: She started telling it again, and she starts telling you

522
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: how she's related to everybody like you never she starts

523
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: showing me pictures of like this is your grandpa's cousin.

524
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,920

Speaker 2: showing me this?

527
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: You're right right? What did they got to do with

528
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: the conversation?

529
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,199

00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: Where did you grow up at?

533
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: I grew up in South Georgia. They raised us when

534
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: we got an opportunity to go with my dad's parents.

535
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: They didn't get an opportunity to see us much. So

536
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: we got whatever we wanted. We go to the store,

537
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: we get any kind of series we won't. We got

Speaker 1: telling my brother said, man, I showed wish we could

542
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,120

543
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: vast difference between the two. Did you notice the difference

544
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: between grandparents? I grew up great.

545
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: We always had hot dog buns.

546
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: Now, no, do you get hot dog? You know, hot

549
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, lightning bread. Yeah, we called it sandwich bread.

550
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: He called it lightning bread.

551
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: I don't know, That's just what they called it in

552
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: the South.

553
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: And so yeah, yeah, okay, I'm gonna start using that.

554
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: So let me ask you. You look, you're Hispanic, and you

555
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: see what's you saw all the Hispanics for Trump, and

556
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: you saw farmers for Trump, you saw gays for Trump,

557
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: and then you see.

558
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: What people were supporting him too. Yeah, that's crazy.

559
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: Well, some people might say the same thing about you know,

560
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: it's mad because they just they do a lot around me.

561
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: You gaze always surprised me. Oh lord, I love it though.

562
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: When you see what's happening, what goes through your math.

563
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: I think I think that no matter like like I mean, hey,

564
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: support who you want to support. That's like the beauty

565
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: of this country, right, more power to you. But I

566
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: think if you like, excuse my language, if you dick

567
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: right either side to him, much like you lamely right,

568
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: like if you're gonna go red like fine, be read,

569
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 2: you can go you know, live like be left. But

570
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 2: I think when you're like just shoving that out there

571
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: and you swear that like Trump is the new Jesus Christ,

572
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: like shut up up.

573
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: You do realize now, if whomver you vote for and

574
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: they do something like okay, it's like he kind of

575
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: told you, like what he's gonna do. He wanted to

576
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: have this math deportations and he wanted to round up

577
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: so for the song. So if you was one of that,

578
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: you know, Hispanics for Trump, and all of a sudden,

579
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: your family member or you getting snared in that trap

580
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: you can't be mad and says, well, why is he

581
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: doing this? Because he told you that's what he was

582
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna do.

583
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wasn't supporting Trump though.

584
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: Why he's coming at me like just saying no, no, no.

585
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: Don't click that up like Shannon Shot goes off onund

586
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: Ralph for Trump.

587
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: Like hell nah no. But I'm saying, you know, you

588
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: see a lot of people now it's like, well, this

589
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: is not what I voted for. That's exactly what you

590
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: voted for.

591
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of that. People are like why

592
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: is he doing this? Like why is he doing what

593
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: he said he's gonna do?

594
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, why you mad? Because he's doing what he said.

595
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: I don't like when people come back come at me

596
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: or me in my comments. They're talking about, you know,

597
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 2: Obama deported more people. It's like rob was like fifteen

598
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: when Obama got anock for Obama either for nobody.

599
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: Do you know anyone that's been deported?

600
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, my uncle, but he's back right, but he

601
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: always gets deported.

602
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: But you know I supposed to say that, you know,

603
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: somebody might watch this and then go get him again.

604
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: I got like eighteen uncles.

605
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: They don't know what you want.

606
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 2: Look, he's probably hiding somewhere.

607
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, help me understand this because I and this is

608
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: what I tell people when I was growing up and

609
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: I became what I became, I said, work a lot

610
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: of jobs, because working a lot of jobs will tell

611
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: you what you don't want to do when you get older.

612
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: Because if you, if I promise you, when you young

613
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: and you fill of energy, you energetic, and you just

614
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: just go, go go, if you don't want to do

615
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: those jobs, then you think you're gonna want to do

616
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 1: it when you twenty five, thirty, thirty five, forty fifty.

617
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: And so the problem that I have is that they're Okay,

618
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna round up these people. But these people, some

619
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: of these people are doing jobs. I ain't gonna lie.

620
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: A whole lot of Americaans ain't gonna to do that

621
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: manual labor, that feeld stuff that yeah, people that that people.

622
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: That uh so everybody who was like I mean not everybody, right,

623
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,520

669
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,280

670
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: even if y'a don't get serious, y'all reach some level

671
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: of intimacy. Yes, I don't want to go and get

672
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: intimate with every girl I meet. It has to date it.

673
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just hit up in the old flame and

674
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: you watch some TV together. You Hulu and chill.

675
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: Ah okay, okay, Hulu and chill Division in your in

676
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: the community, Latin community. Why is there so much division

677
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: in the Latin community. You call some of it too,

678
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: you all the jokes you'll be.

679
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: Telling, Yeah, maybe I'll call maybe I just put a

680
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: magnifying glass up too. I don't know, man, it sucks

681
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: to say, but damn, bro, Mexicans. Mexicans be hating on

682
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: other Mexicans.

683
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: But see, that's that's funny that you say that, because

684
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: from the outside, it looks like I would like, Man,

685
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: y'all great in the community, Like y'all live together, the grandparents' parents, kids, all,

686
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: y'all lived together. So I would assume until I started, like, hello,

687
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: they be beefing like that.

688
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird. You can't have success near your loved

689
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: ones really too much. Maybe I don't know. I just

690
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: feel like.

691
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: And I don't want to be sterical stereotypical, cause people

692
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: just like we see how he generalizes Mexicans again.

693
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying I know what you mean, like

694
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: we're very closed. Yes, yes, but it's weird. Man, Like

695
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: ninety percent of my fan base is probably Mexican, and

696
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: so all I all I can go off of is

697
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: like what I'm speaking here is from my experience, right, Like,

698
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: based off of my comments, my messages, my feedback, people

699
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: have to show like I'm never Mexican enough, bro, Like

700
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: there's there's always so many people. But also these people

701
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: are judging me based off of one or two clips

702
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: they might have seen, Like, you don't even know me.

703
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: If I don't post the clip where I'm speaking Spanish

704
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: for a month, they're like, he don't know Spanish. He's

705
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: not a real Mexican. He's not doing Spanish jokes, so

706
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: he's not real Mexican's kid. If I do jokes in Spanish,

707
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, well, I he's catering now. He's like

708
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: your stereotypical Mexicans. Like, Bro, they never happens.

709
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: So you're never going to be able to please everybody.

710
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 2: But it doesn't bother me too much because the ones

711
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: I'm not pleasing, it's it's very small compared to the

712
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: to the ones who are pleased. Who the ones I'm pleasing? Right,

713
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: That sounds weird to say, but I'm pleasing more people

714
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: than I'm not pleasing.

715
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: You travel the country, so obviously they're you're a vast community.

716
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: So how you accepted, Say in the West versus the South,

717
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: versus the Northwest, the Midwest, the East.

718
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: Uh, I will say East Coast, West Coast, and the

719
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: South boom like I can never I can never go

720
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: broke there as long as I'm telling jokes. Yeah, you

721
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Uh, Midwest shows a lot of

722
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: love too, like Chicago, Chicago.

723
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't.

724
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody's ever sold out my shows

725
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: as fast as Chicago has, really Yeah.

726
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I would not think there's a Harry Democratic

727
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: Hispanic demographic in Chicago. Yeah.

728
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: And what's cool about the Midwest and the East Coast

729
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: is that it goes into other you know, cultes too,

730
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: Like I'll get Mexicans, I'll get Puerto Ricans, I'll get

731
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: the Minicans. I even start getting it, like in the

732
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: Midwest and the East Coast, I didn't start getting like

733
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: a lot of like Indians, a little bit of Asians,

734
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But yeah, the West Coast

735
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: also super supportive, Like California will sell out really fast. Yes,

736
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 2: Texas will sell out fast. You know, it's crazy about Texas.

737
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: Like I'm from Dallas, and Dallas has always sold out.

738
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's my hometown. They show a lot of love,

739
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: but Houston will sell out quicker. I don't know who

740
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: sells out quicker Houston and Chicago. Wow, yeah, the New

741
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: York sells well too, you know what I mean? Like

742
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: New York, uh, North Carolina. I feel like they really

743
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: well there. But in between those like once you go

744
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: like Upstate New York, or once you go to like

745
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 2: like I've never been to Wyoming. I don't think I

746
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: got a fan out there. You know, I would like

747
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: to go to some different places.

748
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,080

Speaker 2: just to work on material. If I post like I

777
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: got two shows tonight, they'll sell out real fast, so

778
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 2: then we'll add. Last time we did that, we stayed

779
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 2: there for like a week because we just kept adding shows. Yeah,

780
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 2: and Chicago people are cool as hell, like homeboy as

781
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: hell saying I mean, and it's everywhere like you get

782
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 2: cool homebo people everywhere, But I don't know what's in

783
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: the water over there.

784
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: They like me. Right, So Chicago is one of your

785
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: favorite city the tour or two. But I was listening

786
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: to you say, like your dad, like your managing your

787
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: agent and stuff, And that's what they look at. They

788
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: look at the data. They look at you know, the

789
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: most people who probably who's looking at those comments, who merchandise,

790
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: who you know, so forth and so on, and so

791
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: they're based on well, you know, La, we gotta do La.

792
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: La shows a lot of love. Yeah, you California, all

793
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: the California shows. Like I can go to certain states

794
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: and like if we go to the big cities, like okay, yeah,

795
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: we'll still take it's no problem. We'll have some good

796
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: shows everything. But then we'll go to like their smaller cities, right,

797
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: and maybe it's a little harder to sell, but like California, Texas,

798
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: and I mean that's really all I can think of.

799
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: Maybe Arizona too, Like I can go to the big

800
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: cities and the little cities and they'll still like, you

801
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Bakersfield, it's a tiny little town

802
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 2: on CALLI that will set out as quick as LA

803
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 2: will really, I mean, yeah, wow, So that's what I

804
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: like about like California and Texas. Big town, little town,

805
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 2: don't matter.

806
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: Like, did you have anybody just fish the topics and

807
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about this. Did you

808
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: have anybody impacted by the flood?

809
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 2: No, not that I know personally, No, Right, but yeah,

810
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 2: that's that's crazy. Yeah, it's tough. That sounds. That's sounded

811
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 2: something almost like like it was made up. It was scary,

812
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 2: you know what.

813
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: And I'm saying I saw time laughs, and I don't

814
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: know if it was AI and they were showing it

815
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: how the like it was just like you know, raining

816
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you see, you know, you

817
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: see the rain and people getting out of town and

818
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I don't know, Like I said,

819
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was AI and then all

820
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden or as tall as houses.

821
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: That's that's insane.

822
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell?

823
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I opened up my phone and I saw that

824
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: I was and how many people had passed away. Yes,

825
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: I was like that that just sounds unreal.

826
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: But watching it in your community, how you guys came

827
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: together to help like rescue and look and to do

828
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: things like that. I mean, it's always great to see

829
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: communities come together because although maybe something maybe that community

830
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: someone from that family, they didn't have a family or

831
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: a friend or a loved one that was lost. But

832
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: to see communities banded together because we do have more

833
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: similarities than dislike. Somehow, over the years we've allowed politicians

834
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 1: to say whatever little little dislike dislike that we are.

835
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: They play on that and it grows.

836
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I really always love that about

837
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: being from Texas is and I know other people from

838
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: other states to be like, y'all swear y'all are so

839
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: cool from Texas or why y'all love but Texans are

840
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 2: very proud to be Texans. I think we kind of

841
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 2: band together over that, like Texans help other Texans. You

842
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 2: believe in aliens, Yeah, it's funny to believe in them,

843
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: not to believe in them. Why am I gonna walk

844
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 2: around here like there's nobody out there?

845
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: But you said they're dumb? I mean, because you know

846
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: they always they never can land safely.

847
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: Aliens. I don't know why we assume they're naked all

848
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: the time. Why else would we assume they're naked unless

849
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: there was proof that they're naked. You know what I mean?

850
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: What do you think do you think the like okay,

851
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 2: like all the all the cartoons, all the movies. Yeah,

852
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 2: they are always like look at these and tailings and

853
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 2: life forms that are coming to the planet and to

854
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 2: kind of either we go to world with them or

855
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: they're way smarter than us and their technologies that have

856
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: been But why are they naked? Is that the part

857
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 2: of evolution? We're gonna be naked in one hundred years.

858
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. What if the alien

859
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: showed up in chrome hearts, jeans and some.

860
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 2: Naked, then you're like, okay, then I would want to

Speaker 1: your mom. So your mom was a young mom, and

891
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: you know that's probably why your grand grandparents had such

00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: She love like funny movies. She still loves funny movies,

897

Speaker 2: take my son to see her. I try to go

899
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: once a week. Sometimes I don't make it, you know

900
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: what I mean. But yeah, we get along. Grade. She

901
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: worries about me a lot when she I mean, she

902
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,479
Speaker 2: had me at a young age, so she was like she.

903
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: Had to grow up a child at a young age.

904
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing is like at first she wasn't

905
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: growing up.

906
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: She still wanted to be a kid.

907
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: So you know, I understand. But I watched that kid

908
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,959
Speaker 2: grow up before my own eyes, and I'm so proud

909
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 2: of her. She now because I have a I got

910
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 2: other siblings you know, between like my dad and my

911
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 2: step mom whatever, but my mom with my mom, I

912
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: have another sister. And my sister is al she's thirteen

913
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: right now, and it's crazy watching my mom.

914
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: Be like so different with her that she was with you.

915
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, because now my mom's older and everything. And like

916
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm all for it too, you know what I mean,

917
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 2: Like whatever I can do to like help them out. All,

918
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 2: Like my sister, My sister plays volleyballs. She's really good

919
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: about your plays. Like I select teams and stuff. So

920
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 2: sometimes I can get pricey, but like I'll make like

921
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: I'll do my part to like help them out, to

922
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: make sure she can stay in there because my mom's

923
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: off for it. My mom works her nine to five

924
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 2: and then right after work, we'll take my sister to

00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 2: She's always just worried about me, but I joke around

929

00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 2: on you. I mean I took you.

1005

1007
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: one that you really got close to it, but so

1008
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: did But seeing your mom interact with men, how did

1009
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: that shape the way you interact with women.

1010
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: I don't believe nothing they tell me like that, but damn,

1011
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 2: I mean, like I believe some stuff, but like like

1012
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: if they're like, you know, you're the only guy that

1013
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: this isn't that, I'm like, I don't, I don't care.

1014
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe you or not. But

1015
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 2: you don't got to tell me that, Like, I don't

1016
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: necessarily I'm not that. I don't know. I'm not that

1017
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 2: receptive towards compliments or towards like you're the only want this,

1018
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: you don't want that, right whatever, because I'm human.

1019
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be tough. You know, it's gonna be tough.

1020
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: If you become cynical of everything of the relationship and

1021
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: what she's trying to tell you, it's gonna be really

1022
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: hard round for you to have to find a stable sak.

1023
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: I feel like it's impossible for me to find a

1024
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 2: stable situation, a stable relationship because one, I have these

1025
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 2: issues that I saw my parents in so many failed relationships,

1026
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: right right, so I don't trust anybody already. And then

1027
00:46:54,360 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 2: two I've accumulated what I think is a good level,

1028
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 2: little success. So now I'm always wondering, like, why are

1029
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: you with me? Yeah? So you know what I mean?

1030
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 2: So like it's too much trust is all like? And

1031
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: hope is that I meet some genuine women in my

1032
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 2: life and get to really know them.

1033
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: You didn't have anybody before you became this rap Barbosa.

1034
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: Did you not have a young lady in your life

1035
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: that but before you started to blow up?

1036
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 2: I mean I dated my son's mom, you know, but

1037
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 2: we were we were broken up before this even like

1038
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 2: took off. You know what I mean.

1039
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: You better go and get back with y'all. You already

1040
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: got a family.

1041
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: No, I'm good.

1042
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: Wa whoa whoa whoa? You good?

1043

Speaker 1: loves you for you.

1046
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 2: When you talk to her. You don't know what goes

1047
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 2: through that woman's mind. Shot.

1048
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: I'm just saying she was with you before any of

1049
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: this startdom, any of this fandom.

1050
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,479
Speaker 2: I mean, there wasn't like a whole lot of women

1051
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 2: that were women before the startom, but there was a

1052
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 2: handful of I'm not going to go back to them now.

1053
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 2: So for hey, do you want to get married now?

1054
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:06,040

Speaker 2: to like sign paperwork.

1060
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,840

1061
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: settle down because you're on the road. I don't know

1084
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: What's it like having step parents? You treat them good?

1085
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: And you do you treat step parents like you treat

1086
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 1: your real parents.

1087
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 2: I think I'm blessed that my my step mom, my

1088
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 2: dad's wife, has always been so good to me and

1089
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 2: never referred to me as a step son, at least

1090
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 2: not in my face. I mean, like, she's she's been

1091
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 2: so good to me.

1092
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: Man, what do you call her? You call her mom?

1093
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: But what do you call? You call her my birth name?

1094
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 2: I called her by her first name, you know, but

1095
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 2: she like I didn't know. I didn't like I was

1096
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 2: almost taking it for granted. How like nice she was

1097
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 2: treating me, and like how how much like love she

1098
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 2: had for me, and like really treating me like if

1099
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 2: I was her kid when i'd be over there. Because

1100
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 2: when I got older and I started working different jobs

1101
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: and making friends that were like older than me, who

1102
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 2: had kids that were older than me, I would see

1103
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 2: these people who have like their own kids, and then

1104
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 2: they marry somebody who has their own kids, right, and

1105
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 2: then I'll hear how they talk about like her kids

1106
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 2: and how he and then I would treat different maybe

1107
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 2: how she treats his kids. And I'm like, damn, bro,

1108
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 2: it's kind of cold. Like I didn't have to go

1109
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: through that, thankfully, Like if I would be over there

1110
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: with my dad, you know, my dad sometimes would have

1111
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 2: to go do handle business whatever, he'd leave me right

1112
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: there with my step mom and like my younger brother,

1113
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 2: young sister, like they was like no problem, bro, Like

1114
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: I didn't have to worry about her treating me any

1115
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 2: different or nothing. Like she she's an angel.

1116
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: So how how was did they have kids together? Yeah?

1117
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: So how was that? Because you know that's not your

1118
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: biological mom, and but they erratically the kid you know,

1119
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 1: did they call you? They look up at you. They're

1120
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: like big brother you, I mean you take them around,

1121
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:05,719

Speaker 2: I think they used to look up to me. I

1123
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 2: think right now it's probably mad at me. What a

1124
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,359

00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 2: around so much, I would forget that I have my

1156
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,160

1157

1163
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,000

00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 2: as the neighbor has like horses and it's just a

1165
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:03,920

Speaker 1: And your dad is in Texas, right, Yeah, okay.

1167

00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 2: moving over here, come moving over to be fair. My

1277
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: Your dad did a bed, damn Charlie. Charlie said, yeah,

1278
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: they had me locked up too. How did that impact you?

1279
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 2: It just really influenced me to like make sure that

1280
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 2: I learned the skill and like became became successful with

1281
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: like like a skill because I wasn't really doing much

1282
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 2: when they both they both ended up going away around

1283
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 2: the same time, like separate cases separate.

1284
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: So, yeah, you two was the right thing because you

1285
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: gonna you dying people out because you told on Charlie.

1286
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: I didn't even ask you about you you damned Charlie.

1287
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: I quick, Oh my.

1288
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 2: Uncle too, Yeah, man, I I just didn't, you know,

1289
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 2: I just did. Like my my older cousin, he didn't

1290
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 2: go to like the pegidal like that, but he had

1291
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 2: his run ins with the law and so, you know,

1292
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 2: just every everything going on in our family. I felt

1293
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 2: like all our relatives may be suffered enough with stuff

1294
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: like that. Like I remember when my when my uncle

1295
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 2: had to go to himself in my grandpa was tearing

1296
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 2: up and he told me like, don't, don't never get

1297
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 2: involved with that bullshit because this hurts too much. So

1298
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 2: I just you know, Also, I was like bad at it,

1299
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 2: Like I'm not good at like at like the streets

1300
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: and yeah, so yeah, I just never went that route.

1301
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: Do you get a lot of fights as a kid.

1302
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 2: I fight with my friends a lot, and you know,

1303
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,200

1305
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 2: we all didn't and it made it easier to like

1306
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 2: fight other kids because then I, you know.

1307
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: Y'all team up and go fight other people.

1308
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 2: We went to team up, but it's like, man, I

1309
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 2: done got beat up by my friends so many times,

1310
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 2: Like who's this dude? Like, yeah, we fight a lot,

1311
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 2: sometimes with gloves, sometimes no gloves. Do you ever do that?

1312
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 2: You look like you beat up with your friends? Nah?

01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: youngest of the guys. And obviously you know, wrestling and

1321
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: fighting those guys. Like when you go to school and

1328
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, like real fights, I might like against like a stranger,

1329
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:46,720

Speaker 1: far as like, you know, I always.

1334
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:56,960

1335
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,439
Speaker 2: one time I was fighting my friend, I fell back

1336
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: and I try to catch myself and I broke my

1337
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 2: middle finger trying to catch myself. So not even like

1338
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 2: in the fight.

1339
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: I mean you you ain't drink enough milk.

1340
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 2: That yeah, that's true. Milk makes me sleepy.

1341
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but let me So you're fighting, you found your friends,

1342
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:17,720

1344
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 2: We fight like every day. We had like a fight club.

1345
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 2: We meet up in the restrooms in between classes. We

1346
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 2: had three minutes. In middle school, we had three minutes

1347
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 2: in between classes, so we would fight for two minutes

1348
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 2: and then you got a minute to get to class.

1349
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 2: She gets the class and shirts off stretched out.

1350
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: Teacher asks you what happened?

1351
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 2: Like, why are you bleeding? Like I fell?

1352
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: It seemed like you got a lot of enjoyment out

1353
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:45,160

1354
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,960

01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 2: Look, prostitutes fight your friends. You fight who I said,

1357

1396
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 2: like Remmington or there or something like that. I got

1397
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 2: those and uh then I was only using those for

1398
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 2: a couple of months. I think my birthday came up

1399
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 2: and I got like total from birthday cash. I got

1400
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 2: like one hundred and fifty bucks. Yeah, And across the

1401
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 2: street from my middle school there was like a little

1402
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 2: like an Asian beauty shopping So I went in there.

1403
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 2: I bought like some real clippers and studising those. But

1404
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 2: there was no YouTube tuatorials back then. There was like

1405
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: one dude YouTube was caking his randy. He had like

1406
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 2: one video that actually helped me out. The other people

1407
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 2: on YouTube, they were still trying to make money. Like

1408
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 2: if you found a video of a haircut it would

1409
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 2: be like a time lapse and then it'd be like,

1410
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 2: you want to cut hair like this, go to my

1411
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,960

Speaker 2: Now this is totoryal for every damn pade. Yes, But

1414
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,360

Speaker 2: Yes, bad man, Look, this one is probably one of

1443
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 2: my favorite stories. But I didn't come up though. This

1444
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 2: is when I was already kind of getting the fade down.

1445
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 2: My one of my good friends, Robinson. Uh, real quiet dude.

1446
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 2: I convinced him let me cut his head. So he comes.

1447
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 2: He rides my bus because he usually gets a ride home, right,

1448
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 2: So that day he rides my bus all the way

1449
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 2: to my house and uh, we get there to my

1450
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 2: house and we actually I would cut hair at the

1451
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 2: other end of my block at my friend's house. They

1452
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 2: had a better garage set. So I'll go right there

1453
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 2: sometimes and and I'm I will still take so long,

1454
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 2: you know when you start off, Yeah, take yeah, I'm

1455
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 2: taking like an hour on one side, and and I'm

1456
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 2: doing the haircut, and then my mom calls me and

1457
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 2: she said that she had to take me to a

1458
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 2: doctor appointment. I don't know how the doctor appointment that day.

1459
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 2: So like Robinson, you're gonna have to come back again

1460
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 2: tomorrow after school. Bro. So the next day, Robinson, I

1461
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,959
Speaker 2: see him in Spanish classes and this who has one

1462
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 2: fade and then nothing over here.

1463
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: So you left the guy. It pretty s haircut. The

1464
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: haircut up the next day.

1465
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 2: The next it was a two be continued cut.

1466
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: You told the joke, you said it's harder to get

1467
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: a barber's license than it is a gun's license in Texas.

1468
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you don't need a license in Texas.

1469
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: You need a license for to be a barber, but

1470
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 1: you don't be likely to carry a gun.

1471
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 2: Well, like, here's what's crazy to me. And I like guns.

1472
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to say like they need to make

1473
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 2: it harder, like that's a whole other conversation for some

1474
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 2: political show. You know, I like guns. I've gone into

1475
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 2: a store and filled out the little background check twenty minutes,

1476
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 2: walk out with a gun. You know, it's easy. Fine,

1477
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 2: that's not my issue My issue is that one day,

1478
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 2: one of the first barbershops, one of my first days

1479
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 2: at the barbershop I worked at. It's called Oakliff barbers

1480
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm working there maybe like a month, right, but I

1481
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 2: only go in in the afternoons. I work from like

1482
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 2: five PM to like maybe eight pm because I'm still

1483
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: in barber college. I'm not licensed, but I go in

1484
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 2: those hours because it's when the TDLR or the Texas

1485
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 2: Department of Licensing and whatever they don't work those hours,

1486
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 2: so they can't it's less likely they're going to show

1487
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 2: up at six pm and be like, where's your license?

1488
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: Right?

1489
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 2: But I'm working there for like a month, and one

1490
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 2: day I get there and it looks like they got

1491
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 2: raided by like DA or something. Like everything is just

1492
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 2: torn up because TDLR has showed up that day and

1493
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 2: checked for license and checked if everything was up the code.

1494
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 2: And it's like, bro, because we're fading people up because

1495
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 2: we're cutting people's hair, you know what I mean? Like

1496
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 2: I got a killing machine break here, like got it

1497
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 2: in twenty minutes, but I got to go to school

1498
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 2: for fifteen hundred I think I change it to one

1499
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 2: thousand hours. But when I went it was fifteen hundred

1500
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 2: hours and two exams. You're the Texas Practical, the Barber Practical.

1501
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 2: First off, you got to do one thousand hours to

1502
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 2: unlock the first test. You go and you sit down

1503
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 2: at these computers and you can't you can't look at

1504
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 2: nobody next to you. If you look at them and talk,

1505
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 2: they're just like you felt like if we're taking some

1506
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 2: CIA exam. Yeah, and you're just they're filling out, like

1507
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 2: what are the shaving techniques?

1508
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 1: Like?

1509
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 2: All right, then once you pass that test, you can complete.

1510
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,799
Speaker 2: Now you're allowed to do the next five hundred hours,

1511
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 2: So there goes another six months of your life. Right

1512
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 2: then when you do that, you gotta do the practical

1513
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 2: in front of the state board. So you go, you

1514
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 2: take your model, Like if you were my model, I

1515
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 2: sit you down, and I got a bag full of stuff,

1516
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 2: and I got to separate all my items in different

1517
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 2: bags and label them, and I got to shampoo you

1518
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:14,599
Speaker 2: and drape you a certain way, tow DrAk tow this,

1519
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 2: and then when I'm done using that towel, put it

1520
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,640
Speaker 2: in my little trash bag. Right, if you were to

1521
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 2: be like, oh man, I accidentally grabbed a towel that

1522
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 2: I hadn't used and threw it away. Let me get

1523
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 2: it back from that bag. All you lose five points

1524
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 2: and then it's like a four hour long process, bro,

1525
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 2: And you can't even talk to your model unless it's instructions.

1526
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 2: And my my, well, my best friend Hymen was right there.

1527
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 2: He was falling asleep because we had drank the day before.

1528
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 2: So I'm like, I'm like whispering, wake up up, and

1529
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 2: I start pinching his back fat to come up. But

1530
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 2: it's like and then they're walking around just looking at

1531
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 2: you and like checking you and see talking. I'm like, bro,

1532
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 2: this is not CIA.

1533
01:09:58,120 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: It's not that serious.

1534
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 2: It's not that serious it is And I walked out

1535
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,120

Speaker 2: in ten minutes, Like I don't know. That's just the

1537
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 2: only thing the barber stuff needs to be, Like I

1538
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 2: think now to get a barber's license, you even need

1539
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 2: to like know how to do a manic Curiti Like.

1540
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they ain't gotta do. So how long were you

1541
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:19,759
Speaker 1: a barber?

1542
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 2: I was cutting full time from when I was like twenty,

1543
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 2: so I was how old was that feasible? So I

1544
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 2: was like twenty from twenty to twenty six, maybe twenty

1545
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 2: to twenty five around there.

1546
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 1: But you knew that wasn't That was not a lifelong

1547
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 1: ambition of yours. That was just something that.

1548
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 2: I always loved it. But it wasn't like I mean,

1549
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 2: I loved the barbershop I worked at, and I liked

1550
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 2: I love cutting hair, Like I don't know, it's cool

1551
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 2: to me. And I remember being at the barbershop and

1552
01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 2: those guys were so funny to me, and it was

1553
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 2: just so fun being there. I had a realization, like, hey,

1554
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 2: if comedy never works out and I worked here with

1555
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 2: these dudes for the rest of my life, I'll be

1556
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 2: all right to.

1557
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 1: Go with that you mentioned earlier. The very first time

1558
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: opened mic, you got booed, Why the hell you go

1559
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,600
Speaker 1: back because a lot of people don't have a rejection.

1560
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 2: Because I can't take a loss. I can't do it.

1561
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 2: You won't take that out, Like if I really like something, nah,

1562
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 2: I can't take the Like I walked off stage immediately

1563
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 2: thinking like why did I even come up here? Like

1564
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 2: I'm an idiot for thinking I could do this. And

1565
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 2: the host is a comedian named Luke Moore. I had

1566
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 2: seen him on stage that same night. He was funny

1567
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 2: and he was like, hey, man, he's like come back,

1568
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 2: and I was like, what.

1569
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,760
Speaker 1: Like come back?

1570
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 2: Did not see what happened?

1571
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 1: Like I thought he was.

1572
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 2: Making fun of me or something, you know. So I

1573
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 2: walked to the car and my friend Tony was with me,

1574
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 2: and I remember apologizing to him like I'm sorry even

1575
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 2: brought you out here. We've been here out here all night,

1576
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 2: Like I was stupid. Why Like why did I think

1577
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 2: I could do that? But by the time I got home,

1578
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe if I would have said this different.

1579
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,600
Speaker 2: And then the next day I was I think. I

1580
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 2: think I was working at a diner. I was a

1581
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 2: short ordered cook, like just making hash browns and ship

1582
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 2: thinking like, man, if folder shiit that different? Man, may

1583
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 2: I try this like what you prepared?

1584
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: Because I was like.

1585
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 2: Somewhat prepared, you know. But I just kept thinking about it,

1586
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 2: and I think, I think that goes for anything that

1587
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 2: I tried that that I really like and anybody like

1588
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 2: you up. But then you started like re reevaluating everything

1589
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 2: in your head like oh I could try this. Maybe

1590
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 2: I should have zigged when I zagged, you know. So

1591
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 2: then it took me like two months, but I went

1592
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 2: up on stage again and I bombed again.

1593
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Damn.

1594
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 2: But I was like, hey, but I did the whole

1595
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 2: time this time.

1596
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you did. You didn't let him, You didn't

1597
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: let him make you walk off. Yeah.

1598
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 2: So I'm like now and I gotta figured this out

1599
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 2: like that, And the first time I got like a

1600
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 2: real laugh was kind of unplanned, like it wasn't even

1601
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 2: a joke that I wrote. Is I was about to

1602
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 2: walk on stage. And this was at a different comedy club.

1603
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 2: It was a backdoor comedy club. Shout out to miss

1604
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:18,640
Speaker 2: Linda Stagner, who's a daddas legend. She threw me up

1605
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 2: on stage, and that open mic was in like a

1606
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 2: nicer part of Dallas, right. It was the first time

1607
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 2: I seen open mic with so many like it was

1608
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 2: the first time I was in the room with so

1609
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 2: many rich looking white people, and I was like intimidated.

1610
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 2: So I was about to walk on stage. I remember

1611
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 2: this one dude in the front row was like, I

1612
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 2: was like, bro, that guy looks like someone who's caught

1613
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:40,560
Speaker 2: the cops on me before. So I just said that

1614
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 2: on stage, dude, look like he's calling the cops on me.

1615
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 2: And out of nervousness and everybody just started laughing, and

1616
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 2: I was like, damn, vulnerability, honesty and confidence. That's my

1617
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 2: first lesson.

1618
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 1: Like, that's when you got that laugh.

1619
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 2: You was hooked, Yeah, because it was like a medium laugh.

1620
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 2: It was like bro, it was like aha. But when

1621
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 2: you first hear it, you feel like everybody's just like

1622
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 2: a right. And when you whenever you think of something

1623
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 2: and you say it and everybody laughs, you feel like

1624
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 2: a genius. You know what I mean. Do you remember

1625
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:13,320

Speaker 2: that I rolled? I think, uh yeah, yeah, I had

1627
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 2: just started. This is like the actual like ridging joke

1628
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 2: that actually worked. And it was somewhere work I was.

1629
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:31,120

Speaker 2: under like the electrical like industrial electrician.

1631
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:35,640
Speaker 1: You know you had a lot of jobs growing up, right,

1632
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: I had a lot of the other thing that you

1633
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: didn't do growing up. You cut hair, you a barber,

1634
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 1: you're a barber. Construction.

1635
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 2: I was going to work on the boat. But you

1636
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 2: know I grew up in Dallas. There's no Yeah, what

1637
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 2: were you gonna work on the Dallas Well, that's what

1638
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 2: I'm saying. That's a job I didn't have asked me

1639
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 2: what job I didn't do, and there was like.

1640
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: A well, you know, day's catch. I don't know if

1641
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 1: they still shooting that.

1642
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 2: One day, I'm gonna go do that. Watch I'm just disappear.

1643
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go do that. But anyway, my joke was

1644
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 2: that I was working for an uncle of mine, Charlie. No, no, no, man,

1645
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 2: my uncle, and they're gonna work. No, my uncle keeps

1646
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 2: his fingerna's clean.

1647
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: Okay, he's working for your uncle.

1648
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 2: My uncle, Charlie is the one that taught me to

1649
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 2: work smarter, not harder. He's the one that maybe made

1650
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 2: me use my brain more than my hands. But I'm

1651
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 2: working industrial electricity for an uncle on my dad's side.

1652
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:33,839
Speaker 2: And I did this joke where I said, I'm working

1653
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 2: as an electrician, but you know, from my uncle. But

1654
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 2: he says things that that I feel like electricians shouldn't say,

1655
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 2: or uncles. I was like, and I wrote them down,

1656
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 2: and I pull out a piece of paper, I'd be like.

1657
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 2: The first thing that he says is like, well know,

1658
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 2: if it's wired correctly, if we don't blow up. The

1659
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 2: second one that he says that scares me is like,

1660
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 2: I think this is where this goes. The third one

1661
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,719
Speaker 2: he says that scares me is all right, ones around,

1662
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 2: locked the door and pull your pasts down and like

1663
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 2: that one that wone will get like a little laugh.

1664
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 2: But that was like the.

1665
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 1: First joke that I like that you started wrote down

1666
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: to you.

1667
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 2: And uh, I remember the club one of the clubs

1668
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 2: that I did it at. They only liked you to

1669
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 2: do like clean comedy, right, and they were like, maybe

1670
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 2: don't do that one. So then I had to like

1671
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 2: start changing it up.

1672
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Right the second time you performed. The first time you

1673
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: went to open mic, you got booed. The second one

1674
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: you went to you performed at a strip joint.

1675
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 2: No no, So I was like my first Like.

1676
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: So the first time you actually got paid, you went to.

1677
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 2: A paid gig and I and I didn't get paid.

1678
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 2: I lost money because they charged me five dollars to

1679
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 2: get in the strip club and they never paid me.

1680
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 2: It was all fun. I didn't care.

1681
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to figure how do you perform? But

1682
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: how do you have a comedy show at a strip

1683
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: joint gentleman's club?

1684
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I didn't look for the record. I didn't

1685
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 2: put this on. They asked me if I wanted to

1686
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 2: do it, I said, hell yeah. The show was called

1687
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 2: laughs and that ass, which honestly, you don't want to

1688
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 2: be laughing when the ass out just focused on the ass.

1689
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 2: You know you're not going to compete. I was so

1690
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 2: they they had a wireless mic and they kept cutting out,

1691
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,679
Speaker 2: but I just I don't know, it's this horrible idea.

1692
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm I'm on the stage where the strippers dance, and

1693
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 2: it's like a pole right here right and some of

1694
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 2: the people when they were still getting dances because they

1695
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 2: didn't care, they didn't show up for the comedy. And

1696
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 2: I remember there were one of the strippers she was

1697
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:35,639
Speaker 2: so supportive the There was a dude getting all danced

1698
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 2: on by this big girl and the girl's facing me

1699
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,759
Speaker 2: the dude. The dude's like way back there, he's facing

1700
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 2: that world, but he's listening and he liked going to

1701
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 2: my joke. He turns around, he's like whoa and then

1702
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 2: the girls like. The girl's like good job baby. I

1703
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 2: was like, oh, like thank you, man, But the mic

1704
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 2: kept cutting out. This is so awkward. And there was

1705
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 2: an ugly, nasty stripper and I remember she walked up

1706
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 2: to me when I was waiting to go on stage,

1707
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 2: and she started like like working on me, and I

1708
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 2: was like, no, I don't have money, Like don't like

1709
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 2: trust me, don't do that. I don't have money. And

1710
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 2: this is the first time that a stripper was like, nah,

1711
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 2: like tip me so I can leave, Like, give me

1712
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,679
Speaker 2: a dollar and I'll leave you alone. I was like, oh, man,

1713
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 2: I had like I had ten bucks that day and

1714
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 2: five was for the entry and the other like three

1715
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 2: wents of her I had two dollars for chips after that.

1716
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: So in other words, she said, give me some money

1717
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: and I'll leave you alone. Yes, well, you just got

1718
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 1: to be dancing for free. So the internet, now this thing.

1719
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 1: There's this thing called internet and a lot of comedians

1720
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 1: it's different than the old old comedians because you had

1721
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 1: to go to your gigs and you had to go

1722
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: put your time in. Now the internet can really help

1723
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 1: young comedians blow up. How did the internet help you?

1724
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 2: Man? The Internet gave me a career. You know. I

1725
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 2: feel like before the Internet, for people to make it

1726
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 2: as a comedian, as an actor, as a singer is

1727
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 2: like the industry. Whoever was running, you know, whoever was

1728
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 2: making moves in the industry had to kind of choose

1729
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 2: you. You know, casting directors or bookers had to be like,

1730
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 2: I like this person, Let's make them famous, Let's put

1731
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 2: them on this TV. So let's put them. But the internet,

1732
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 2: you put a video yourself out there. It's the people's choice, now,

1733
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:20,679
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So yeah, like shout out.

1734
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 2: I love I love anybody who's ever liked my videos. Man,

1735
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 2: Mexican community, the Puerto Rican community, the Black community, Indians,

1736
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 2: anybody out there whoever liked my videos and just shared them,

1737
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 2: even if you never come to a show. Thank you

1738
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 2: so much forgiving for changing my life.

1739
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,759
Speaker 1: Do you believe that you blew up too fast?

1740
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 2: I think I blew up maybe a little prematurely. You

1741
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 2: said that problem, Nah, I think that I wasn't ready

1742
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 2: to be a headliner when I started blowing up. You know,

1743
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 2: I think I was still because it like traditionally how

1744
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 2: it goes in comedy is like you start off hosting

1745
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 2: shows where you do like ten minutes, then you introduce

1746
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 2: the next comic, next comic, where then you work your

1747
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 2: way up to feature act. So you'll go on right

1748
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 2: before the main act and you'll do like twenty twenty

1749
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 2: five minutes. Then you know, over time you become a

1750
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 2: headliner and you kill forty five to an hour. Right,

1751
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 2: So when I first started going on the road, I

1752
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 2: don't feel like I had a killer hour like that,

1753
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,679
Speaker 2: you know, but I had to learn it. I think

1754
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 2: it took like six months of me headlining shows before

1755
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 2: I learned to be like a headliner. Right.

1756
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 1: The difference now is that, say, twenty years ago, thirty

1757
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,679
Speaker 1: years ago, forty years ago, you could tell a joke

1758
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: and you could recycle that joke. Ooh long time. You

1759
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:44,759
Speaker 1: can't do that anymore because the internet, cell phones. So basically,

1760
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 1: and I talked to a lot of comedians, they say,

1761
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:50,640
Speaker 1: the first time you tell a joke is not the

1762
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 1: best time you're going to tell that joke because over

1763
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: time you perfect it. And now it's hard to perfect

1764
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: a joke because once you tell it joke. Man, I

1765
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: heard him say that the other day. Man, he said

1766
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: that in Kansas City. Many I heard him say that

1767
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 1: same joke in calling They kill you for it. How

1768
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: do you expand on the joke? How do you get

1769
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: a joke from his infancy to adulthood now?

1770
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 2: And you can't force it. I don't think one of

1771
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 2: my buddies kind of taught me that. It's like you

1772
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 2: can't you could think of you can think on it

1773
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,720
Speaker 2: and like rewrite it right, But sometimes I just kind

1774
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:31,720
Speaker 2: of like don't force it. Like I'll go up there

1775
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:33,639
Speaker 2: with the idea of how to say the joke, I'll

1776
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 2: try it out on stage, and if it works, then

1777
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 2: I'll make a note in my mind, like keep using

1778
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 2: this one, but then maybe next time that I'm on stage,

1779
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:45,679
Speaker 2: I don't want to put too much pressure on that joke.

1780
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 2: But as I'm as I'm talking, as I'm saying it,

1781
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm having another conversation in my head, so I'm like,

1782
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 2: oh shit, say this different this time. It makes more

1783
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 2: sense like that, So then I'll just say but I'll

1784
01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:00,440
Speaker 2: usually keep changing the joke or keep adding to it

1785
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 2: until it dies again. So it's like I'll say the

1786
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 2: joke next time I say it at a punchline, next

1787
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 2: time I say it at this But then maybe the

1788
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 2: fifth time I said I added something, and it was

1789
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 2: just like, now you got too much fat on this,

1790
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's like a sandwich, You're

1791
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 2: just adding too much more. Yeah, So I'm like, all right,

1792
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 2: let me backtrack.

1793
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: Okay, this concludes the first half of my conversation. Part

1794
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: two is also posted and you can access it to

1795
