42
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: And they'd be outside hanging out. I remember one time

43
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: the men and the women were inside and I'm like,

44
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, this is different. You know, these husbands

45
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: don't hang out with these wives. And it was, by

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: the way, my bad trips out because I'm like, we're

47
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: having game night. It's like game night, yeah, my wife

48
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: other wives like what are you fucking gay? And I'm like, no,

49
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: like we hang out, man. But it was they were

50
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: watching they were watching Richard Pryor and they were all laughing, man,

51
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, I've never seen my dad

52
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: and my mom sit down together and laugh like that.

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: And it changed my life that right there. I was like,

54
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna do. Shot out like Jack and

55
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Richard jokes like, did you Eddie Murphy's because I know

56
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: I used to do that toot Eddie Murphy raw. Man.

57
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: I started watching Eddie Murphy rall your funny motherfucker bro

58
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: for real, man, like a funny motherfucker for real. We

59
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: look man, and I ain't bullshitting you guys. I learned

60
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: so much from listening to you guys, And that's not bullshit.

61
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: And I tell you why, y'all's lyrics and I wanted

62
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: to talk about this. Y'all's lyrics are so honest and

63
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: you show you you guys show weakness, and most rappers

64
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: don't show weakness. Well, you know, you know the walk

65
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: around well when you know what he's talking about, you know,

66
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: like vulnerability and talking about being scared and wanted to

67
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: get out of the game and and you know, making mistakes, right,

68
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: making mistakes. And to me, that's why y'all's music connected

69
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: to me so much. It's because to me, it felt

70
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: more real than just going hard all the time. Yeah,

71
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: you know those lyrics in my mind is playing tricks

72
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: on me. When you talk about you know, you know

73
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: I want I didn't want to be with her, and

74
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: you realize you sucked up, you know, or when you're

75
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: in church asking God to get you, you know, all

76
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: that stuff. And so I take that to my stand up.

77
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: I try to be vulnerable in my stand up. I

78
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: try to be I try to be sometimes I'm losing.

79
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of comics they always want to win, right,

80
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: And my stand up man I lose all the time.

81
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: My wife wins, you know what I mean? How but

00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, like, man, I don't

96
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: I didn't start be I started changing in my stand

97
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: up because I fell in love with this girl and

98
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: I fucking hated her for it. I for real hated

99
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: her for it because I'm like, man, I'm I'm on

100
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: the road, I'm a comic, I'm a fucking pirate. I'm

101
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: crushing ass everywhere I go. I'm drinking. I'm doing whatever

102
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: I want. What's a pirate but fucking raping and pillaging

103
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: and fucking going from town to town um and then

104
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: all sadden. I meet this girl and I'm fall in

105
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: love with her, and I hated her for it. So

106
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I walked on stage and started talking about hating her

107
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: for it, and it was funny, but it wasn't connecting

108
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: because I was angry. And then once I decided, once

109
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: I felt okay with being that guy and being with her,

110
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 1: then the love came into the jokes them. Ship really

111
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: changed for me, and we did Relatable in Corpus Christie

112
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: for Netflix, and that thing blew up Man and everybody.

113
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: You know, they couldn't see the love I had from

114
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: my wife in it when before it was just angry. Yeah,

115
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: So were you cognizant of putting the funny in it?

116
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: Make it? Because I always here, I hit comedians that

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: was that a serious? Sometimes they go through certain things

118
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: and they want to bring that out in the comedy.

119
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: And I've always respected comedians who awoke who who who

120
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: would go there and talk about social issues. But you know,

121
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: did you ever did you ever get to a point

122
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: to where you you thought that um, you know, perhaps

123
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: I need need to make it. I need to stick

124
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: to funny first and then talk about serious away exactly,

125
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: you know. And I remember hearing Richard Prior talking about that, right, Like,

126
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're our comics and

127
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: the idea is to be funny. But nowadays, man, it's

128
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: gotten deep for me. My act is about family, being

129
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: a family man, trying to be a better dad, a

130
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: better husband, you know, And I get deep in that way.

131
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't do politics, I don't do religion. I get

132
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: deep in the you know, man. I I work every

133
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: day to be a good dad. I work every day

134
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: to be a good husband to my wife. And it's

135
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: a it's a growth process. So while I'm telling these

136
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: stories that are funny, I kind of like, like I

137
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: said that that premise that I'm working on right now.

289
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: but it's called temporize. It means avoid making decision, a

290
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: decision or committing oneself in order to gain time. Will

291

294
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,080

Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, I never in a million years

464
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: thought I've been walking through an airport and Biff from

465
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,239
Speaker 1: Back to the Future calling me over to say what's up?

466
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: You know you trip out? Man? But oh I met

467
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson. He did. I would do a show in

468
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: Vegas and then he would do the show afterwards. That

469
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: dude shook my hand but wouldn't let go. You know,

470
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: that uncomfortable ship and it's Mike. Yeah, you don't want

471
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: him to actually only snap and thank you so I'm

472
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: just letting him shake my hand as long as he

473
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: wants to shake my hand. He's I mean, he's making

474
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: eye contact with me, and he goes, I love what

475
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: you did up there, he goes, I'm the baddest man

476
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: on the planet. He goes, and I'm scared shitless of

477
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: my wife. And he's still holding my hand, and I'm

478
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: like trying to pull away, but not not aggressive, because

479
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: you don't want no ship. I don't want no ship

480
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: with my typon, you know, speaking of that that vulnerability

481
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: you was talking about, that's Mike got that. Yeah, that's

482
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: why Mike ha is beloved. I mean, you know, it's

483
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you know, he whooped ass and all

484
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and yeah, kick ass, take names,

485
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: and he's carved out a nice career for himself and

486
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: put itself into history books. But that was a time

487
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: when he was not beloved. People just loved what he did.

488
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: But I admire growth, Yeah, like I admire people who

489
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: who have grown, and you can tell that Mike has

490
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: grown absolutely, you know, and and his humility and his

491
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: ability to go, hey man, I know who I am

492
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: and I know that I want to be better, and

493
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: that's what I think I admire about about all people. Man'

494
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: That's why I get mad about this cancel culture bullshit,

495
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna go back twenty years to cancel the

496
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: motherfucker I was. I was a different person twenty years ago.

497
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: You know, some of the stuff I found funny twenty

498
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: years ago, I don't funny today. Do you ever think

499
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: I think to temper your your comedy, you know, because

500
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: of cancel culture? No? I mean I'm lucky. You know.

501
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: I talk about my wife, my family, you know, And

502
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: I tell you about the time the only person you

503
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: can cancel me is my wife. And as long as

504
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: my wife is cool, I'm good and nobody can cancel me. Man,

505
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, right like right now, and

506
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: you'll see tonight I do a bit where my dad

507
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: calls me, uh right, But it's him telling me back

508
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, right, you'll see it tonight.

509
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: That's all out of context right now, But I need

510
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: that word so that you can understand who my dad was. Yeah,

511
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, my dad's this hard Vietnam vet um military man,

512
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: refinery worker. He used words like that. Now Do I

513
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: like those words? Do I use that word? No? But

514
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: you can't take that away from me when I'm telling

515
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: a story. You know what I mean? Well, I think

516
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: context is everything, and I think most people can appreciate

517
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: that when it's put into proper context. Any word, any word,

518
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: an I do believe. I mean, you got people like

519
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, you know who I think is a genius. Man.

520
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw the Last Special right, So watching

521
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: that Last Special man, the way he it was like

522
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: a sermon, like a preaching preaching man, a sermon, I'm

523
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: telling you. And and and if you listen, I mean,

524
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,239
Speaker 1: if you're listen and you watch it again, watch how

525
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: he brings all that ship around in that full circle.

526
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: And and and and he says, man, I don't want

527
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: to talk about this no more, you know, but stop

528
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: punching down on my people. Right that's right there. It was.

529
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: I was like, brilliant. It was brilliant. But I think

530
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: that you, as an artist or I don't think the

531
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: regular person, regular civilian sees the art. They don't, they don't,

532
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: they don't peep it. And the main point was, here's

533
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: this small community that has the ability to change things

534
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: in cancel, yet my black community can't. Bro And we've

535
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: we've been fighting for centuries, get shit changed and to

536
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: kill me. No, yeah, you're right, you're right. But I

537
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: just found something. You know, I'm a sucking worring, so

538
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: I just found something. You're ready. A bundle of sticks

539
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: are twigs bound together as fuel? See, we're just talking

540
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: about fuel. Yeah. Uh, the Peanut Gallery likes that ship

541
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: Mario and Louisa they're making. Going back to Dave Chappelle,

542
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,239
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that I admire by

543
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: comedians so much, is there uh there intelligence most comedians,

544
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: most comedians, I know, the good ones are intelligent, and

545
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: it is very difficult to craft jokes. Like really, I'm

546
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: talking about when you I may do real comment I

547
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: ain't talking about just joking jokes. I'm talking about that

548
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: It's easy to be funny, but to craft a joke

549
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: has a great degree of difficulty and how hard I mean,

550
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: how how amazed are you when you see somebody like

551
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle do that ship put on three specials in

552
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: one year to three specials in one year when most people,

553
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: most most comedians cannot do that type of thing. Will

554
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: get jealous five six, seven years. A lot of comics

555
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: get jealous, get fired up. Yeah, man, I see somebody

556
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: like Dave Chappelle do something like that. And by the way,

557
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't watch stand up because I don't want to

558
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: be influenced. But then you get somebody like Dave Chappelle,

559
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: who he's so above me. His mother's not gonna influence me.

560
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: He's so amazing. I mean where his head's at right now.

561
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 1: And that's what tripped people out about Dave. We got

562
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: to remember that Dave was famous in his early thirties.

563
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: Then the man disappeared and came back as a grown

564
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: ass man. So we all remember Day was famous in

565
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: his twenties. What was that ship where he was missed?

566
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: A nice guy? And then he was talking about the

567
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: doctor said I need to back out of me. So

568
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: he's already famous as in his twenties. Yeah, the man disappears,

569
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: comes back as a grown ass man with real opinions,

570
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: with kids, with a wife, and all of a sudden

571
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: that changed for for us as a community, Like, whoa,

572
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: what is that crazy high dude that we remember as

573
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: a kid. He's still in there. He's still in there,

574
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: but now he's a grown ass man and he's got

575
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: grown ass man opinions. He's evolved and he's grown man

576
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: and man said, I had to try to save him.

577
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: Uh huh, whatever, because at the end of the night

578
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: it was probably gonna be aswing up for us to

579
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: pussy that she didn't have joke up. But that's another

580
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: thing about this. He'll drop you some knowledge and then

581
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: he'll hit you with a stupid as. That's a kid funny,

582
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, but it's but it's not coincidental. When he

583
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: dropped the knowledge and hit you with the stupid ass,

584
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: he knows exactly what he's doing. It's to set up

585
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: brilliant man. I mean, and same with you guys. When

586
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: you're coming up, there's a million rappers on the streets.

587
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: When I was coming up, there's a million stand up

588
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this motherfucker. And every city I go to

589
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: there's a community of stand ups. Houston probably has a thousand.

590
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: It's some. It's a community of stand ups. But the

591
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: elites the cream, right, Yeah, the cream is going to

592
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: rise to the top every time. You could be in

593
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: a bundle in the circle of a ton of rappers.

594
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: Like when I find a young comedian. If I find

595
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: a young comedian, I like like like Dave J for example,

596
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: I tell him, I look, dude, you're the best of

597
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: all the shitty ones. You're you're the best comedian. But

598
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: he's only but he's only two years in the game.

599
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: And it's like Dave where they talk about you like that. Man,

600
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,000

00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: go go. And a lot of young comics because of

633
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: the local scene, they're concerned about that that comedian in

634
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: town that thinks he's the big ship. And it's like, dude,

635
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: this there ain't nobody. You need to be worried about

636
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: the motherfucker's that are nationally headlining, the dudes that are

637
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: getting on TV. I mean, we're not competing against I

638
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: don't compete against him. I'm competing against Kevin Hart. He's

639
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: a funny, he's hilarious. But you know what, sometimes so

640
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: you would agree that being a comedian is, um, it's competitive.

641
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: Very well, it doesn't have to be And I was

642
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: gonna say that it doesn't have to be competitive, but

643
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: it is competitive. In the beginning for me, it was

644
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: very competitive, right and as I got older, That's what

645
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you know, Dave too, I'm like, man,

646
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: you gotta not worry about these dudes. Man, don't compete

647
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: against these dudes. Go out there, do you do what

648
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: you know how to do the way you do it,

649
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: and don't worry about it because it's all subjective. It's hard. Okay, day,

650
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: what's the best piece of advice Steve's giving you so far? Well,

651
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about comedy from a whole bunch

652
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: of different sides, right, Like, there's like the technical parts

653
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: of it. There's about you know, individual like jokes and

654
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: tags and speed and things like that. But you know

655
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: what he's talking about. Uh, just now like having the

656
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: ability to kind of see past little jokes, just like

657
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: you're seeing past the scene and go like, what are

658
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: you really talking about? You know what I mean? You

659
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: can put together a bunch of popsicle stick jokes, um,

660
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: but what are you gonna make with them? Are you

661
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: gonna have a message that matters or is expressive who

662
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: you are? Or is it just goofy and again talking

663
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: about like what you guys do, man, is is is

664
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: being vulnerable, you know, and and digging deep inside of

665
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: yourself to too. That's what people connect to, man. You know,

666
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: people people walk out and I got I got grown man.

667
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: At the end of my shows. Now with this new

668
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: set I'm doing, they come up to me and they're

669
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: they're crying, man, I mean they're they just have the

670
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: comedy show and then that's the best comedy show I've

671
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: ever been to. But you made me think of my dad.

672
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: You made me think about how hard my dad works,

673
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, And that's the stuff that make people go, hey,

674
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: Trevino is my comic. That's my dude. You know what

675
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,959
Speaker 1: that this just made me think about something like you're

676
00:37:54,080 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: the everyday guys guy that the politicians pretend to be

677
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: when they're running on the campaign trail, right, because they

678
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: always come up where you know, my dad he raised

679
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: and a little cabin in Yeah, and it was just us.

680
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: We didn't have food. Sometimes you had two million dollars

681
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: in the bank, legalized, legalized staff, legalized legalized staff. So

682
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, I am. But and again going back to

683
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: the privileged part in the celebrity part, you know, it's

684
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: hard to stay grounded too. I gotta make sure I

685
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: stay grounded. I gotta make sure that I am aware.

686
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: And I saw my same friends from high school man too.

687
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: You know, no new friends, no friends, no old business.

688
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: Did you lose at least one of them, one or

689
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: two after the thame you lose a couple. Yeah, and

690
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: that's because they don't quite get it. They changed before

691
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: you change, dude. I'm so glad you said that, man,

692
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: And I hate when they tell me that you changed

693
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: the arena and I'm like, no, dude, you changed towards me.

694
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm the same dude. My road manager, Kyle and I

695
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: have been together since elementary school. That's my homie from

696
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: elementary school, and we're still working together right now, you know,

697
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: and cows the Yellowstone looking the Yellowstone looking dude ump.

698
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: But I also have to stay around it, you know

699
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: when you look at Martin Lawrence and I remember being

700
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: at the comedy store when Martin Lawrence was making a

701
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: comeback and stand up man. He was so unfucking relatable

702
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: because he's different. I mean, the dude is a huge celebrity.

703
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: And you could tell that that first couple of months

704
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: that he was up there, he couldn't find it, couldn't

705
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: find that that relatability. I mean, you know, Martin was

706
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: the every dude man, you know, and and after months

707
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: of watching him work, watching him work, he started seeing

708
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: that he started really changing the way he would word

709
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: things or the way and because words matter, man, you

710
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: know that words matter and the way you say things

711
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: and the way you have to be aware. I want

712
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: to make sure I don't ever lose that. So you

751
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: but you know we we I'm on the road with

752
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: these guys. Carlo Spencia, George and Paul hated each other.

753
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: They man, they couldn't get along. They're fighting with each other.

754
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: They're fighting each other they are. We're doing arenas and

755
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm the opening act and I'm like, oh, shoot, this

756
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: is the best ever happened to me. That breaks up,

757
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: and then Mencia puts together a new three Meals tour.

758
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: Paul goes and does Latin Kings of Comedy instead, Paul

759
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: and George do Latin Kings of Comedy. Mencia brings on

760
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: Pablo Francisco, Freddy Soto who's dead now, and myself, which

761
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: is another hard thing in this business. Man. You you

762
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 1: get to know all these comics and then you know

763
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: drug abuse takes them, suicide takes the cocaine, cocaine, you know,

764
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: and that breaks your heart too. Man, I'm I'm you know,

765
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: I know so many people who have committed suicide, you know,

766
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: whether it was intentional they put a gun to their

767
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: head or the drugs and alcohol, you know. Um. So

768
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: then Mencia was like, hey, man, three Megal tours over.

769
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: I'll take you on the road for time and and

770
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 1: if there's any young cats out there listening. My goal,

771
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: like my dad taught me, be irreplaceable. Absolutely be irreplaceable.

772
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: So as soon as Mena gave me the opportunity and

773
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: I sold fucking merch best I could. If that I

774
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,239

775
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: waiting for him when he got off stage, you know.

776
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I was sucking on it, man, and I'm like,

847
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: you know. And and for me, I don't think people

848
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: realize how young I was, you know. I think I

849
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: was writing on the minor Mencia. I was a kid,

850
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, And I don't know any better. Did they

851
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: ever try to connect any of your jokes that you

852
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: wrote for him as plagiarism? Not not well the way

853
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: Mencia would do it? And and two things. Number one,

854
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: Mencia is a very good stand up comedian Number one.

855
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: Number two does he steal? Yes? Number three, I don't

856
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: know if he knows he steals like for real, like

857
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: he's like. But some people would argue that how can

858
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: he be a very good stand up comedian if he's

859
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: not using his own words, if those are not his

860
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: own jokes? How can he be a stand up a

861
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: good stand up comedian. It's like somebody says, somebody just

00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: I fun that I wrote that joke. And we're like

902
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, I don't care if you wrote it or not,

903
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: don't do it. Sure ship, he starts doing it. So

904
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: in the edit room that got edited out first, Well,

905
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: they re release an unedited version. Joe Rogan calls him

906
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: out that joke's on there and to me, that was

907
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: the nail and the coffin for him, everything's coffin, nail shut.

908
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: Now they can't open their back up. I don't think

909
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: so man. You know, well, he I think he will

910
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: be able to do small venues because he does have

911
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: I guess the following. He has a following, but Arena, Yeah,

912
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: but the Arena ship is over. But yeah, but how

913
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: do you dudes feel about TikTok? Now? Like TikTok, people

914
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 1: are doing my bits and becoming influencers by doing my bits,

915
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: so they're getting paid. You should bang TikTok. You can't. Yes,

916
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: you can, but that's a hard one because it sells tickets.

917
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: What they're doing is that that like he's saying that

918
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: taking the Joe some rearranging and changing a little, this,

919
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: a little that, my bit. They're gonna stroke for stroke,

920
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: joke for joke, my bit, and they pant a moment.

921
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: You know, these dude yeah, but you know what you know.

922
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: But you know what TikTok could do. TikTok could put

923
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: a disclaimer on there every time every time somebody does

924
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: a voice over like that, they could put a disclaimer

925
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: saying who it is. They could do that, just like

926
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: they do with music. If you play somebody's music, it

927
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 1: shows the the song up there at the time of

928
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: the title. And so this is something, this is the

929
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: fight that that you guys should take on as comedians

930
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: because because they are messing with your lives. Tiffany Howes,

931
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: she's starting to do it. Uh there, she's starting to

932
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: fight with that and saying, hey, how are we not

933
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: getting paid for these clips? Right? It's it's our it's

934
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: our property. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. You can,

935
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: you can, you can. But the average person look at

936
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: it like, oh, it's just funny. It's funny, but they

937
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 1: don't realize it's our art. It's yeah, you know, It's

938
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: like I told my wife, you know, when I first

939
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: met her, she would read magazines in the grocery store

940
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: aisle and put them back and I said, baby, buy it,

941
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: buy it. It's three dollars. Just but I just wanted

942
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: to read that one thing. How do somebody gets paid

943
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 1: to write that? Uh? Just buy it. It's three dollars, man,

944
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: you know. And now she has a different attitude where

945
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: she's like, you know what, you're right, like, I will

946
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: buy it because it's gonna go away. So at first

947
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: she was Captain Evil and then she's still Captain Evil.

948
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: She se Trovigno and captain how did that podcast come

949
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: to be? And Captain Evil that's what he called his wife.

950
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: You know. I called her Captain Evil and my relatable special.

951
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: That ship stuck. We sell merchandise, Captain Evil merchandise. It

952
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: fucking kills. And man, the pandemic hit and I had been,

953
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, I've been on the roads, and

954
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: I was twenty full time, forty six weeks a year.

955
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: You know. The pandemic hits, and I'm sitting at home,

956
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: you know. And and man, I never had dealt with depression.

957
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: I got depressed. I used to talk about depressed people.

958
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,080

965
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: let's do something? And I said no, she said, don't

966
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,320

00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday night, made more money and that night

1051
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: that I hadn't made in a year, and my life

1052
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: changed forever. That's it. That's hilarious. Tell us about helicopters

1055
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: a Mexicano, you know, um, and people always trip out

1056
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: because they're like, man, your favorite comedian was Eddie Murphy.

1057
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, but I relate more to black people

1058
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: than I do white people. And I'm not being racist.

1059
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: I just I just do you know comic wise, right?

1060
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: And when I was coming up, there were no Latino comedians.

1061
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: It was just Paul Rodriguez, you know, I remember, and

1062
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: now ships all sucked up, But I remember I wanted

1063
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: Bill Cosby to be my dad. You know when you

00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,040

Speaker 1: a kid, you know, that's who I related to it.

1071
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: As a Latino, we didn't have any comedians and we

1072

Speaker 1: still don't. That's what's sucking trippy, y'all? Do who we got?

1078
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: still right. So as a Latino, as Latino growing up,

1079
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: that was my influence, you know, was was um what

1080
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: now I got off track? Was the original question? You know,

1081
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: So as a Latino and having my dad, my dad

1082
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: loves this country, man, I mean, my dad fucking loves

1083
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: this country. And fourth of July he puts his flag out,

1084
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, and he served in Vietnam. You know, my

1085
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: dad desperately wanted me to serve I broke my back

1086
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: in high school. I wasn't able to serve how football

1087
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 1: play football. I got spired in the back. You didn't

1088
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: break it. Your opponent broke in the back, and that

1089
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: spirit in the back when you paralyzed. I was not paralyzed,

1090
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: but it shattered my lumbar five, which is the connector.

1091
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: You got your spine, and then you got a connector.

1092
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: That connector was broken. Always I'm always in pain. Hamstrings

1093
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: leg forty two. Yep, it's gonna really get sucked up around. No,

1094
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm already getting there. We're getting close. When it's cold,

1095
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm fucked. Man. I gotta have that hot tub at home.

1096
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: I got getting a hot tub. Um. But you know,

1097
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 1: my dad wanted me to serve. I couldn't serve. I

1098
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: always felt like he was really bummed about it, you know.

1099
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: So now I serve in other ways. I raised money,

1100
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, um with Helicopters for Heroes, which is my organization.

1101
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: We're volunteer and what we do is we raise the

1102
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: money and then organizations come to us and they pitched

1103
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 1: to us why we should give them our money. This year,

1104
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: we picked one from right here in Houston. They're called

1105
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: us vets um. And by the way, again going back

1106
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 1: to the black and Latino thing. You know, blacks and

1107
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Latinos have served this country since the very first war

1108
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: this country ever had. You know, we love this country, man,

1109
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: we we we died for this country. Are people, you know.

1110
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: And that's another reason I'm involved with veterans because a

1111
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: lot of us are Latino and black. Man. And the

1112
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: guy that runs US vets he takes veterans off the

1113
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: streets and he because they're homeless. One and one and

1114
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: every nine homeless people in your city right now is

1115
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: a veteran and he grabs them, gives him a home,

1116
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: rehabilitates them, get some a job, and put them back

1117
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: into into society. And he has an eight percent success

1118
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: rate right here in Houston. So we're gonna be writing

1119
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: us US vets man. If you ever get a chance,

1120
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: go visit these dudes. Man. They got a spot right

1121
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: here in Houston, and it's an old hotel that they

1122
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: have turned into a halfway house between the streets and

1123
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: getting them their apartment. I went and visited them. I

1124
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: helped him feed him last actually last time I was

1125
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: in town. That's how I met the dude. I'm always

1126
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: looking for for something in the town that I go

1127
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,959
Speaker 1: to where I could help out. And I met this dude.

1128
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: I saw what he was doing, and I'm like, man,

1129
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,640

Speaker 1: travel in you know, in the hood. You know it's

1131
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: got Yeah, Man, you need money? How can I help?

1132
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: So this year already, man, we're at almost eight hundred

1133
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: thousand dollars raised. And last year last year I raised

1134
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: half a million man d dollars in two days. We

1135
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: all year, we raised all year. You know we got

1136
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: in year new year last year, right, right? So so,

1137
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: uh going back to your dad, uh serving having faithfully

1138
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: served this country, being a proud American. First of all,

1139
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: are you first a second generation? I am? It's it's

1140
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: kind of complicated. I am. I am my dad's family

1141
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: in Texas generations. My great great grandmother was born in Portland,

1142
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Texas in the eight hundreds. Um the panyard side, which

1143
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: is my mom. My mom has nine brothers and sisters.

1144
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: The three youngest ones were born in the States. All

1145
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: the other six were born in Mexico. So, and I

1146
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: always making fun of my mom. I'm like, hey, Mom,

1147
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: you're a wet backman. And she's like, she's like, no, no, no,

1148
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: you're Theos and theaz are I'm not. I'm not they

1149
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: are they are right? Um? But so, so your father

1150
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: was born in the US. Yes, my father born in

1151
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: the US. His father born in the US, his grandfather

1152
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: born in the US. So, having faithfully served this country,

1153
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: how did your father feel when you had people in

1154
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: this country saying build the wall and stopped to stop

1155
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: other Mexican people from coming. He uh, he and my

1156
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: mom are not very political, you know. And I asked

1157
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: him the same question, you know, I said, hey, dad,

1158
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: how do you how do you feel about that? And

1159
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: my dad says, he goes, I worry about the Mexican

1160
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: Americans that are here. Is how can we how can

1161
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: we make sure that the Mexican Americans that are here

1162
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: have a better life, because I don't worry about them

1163
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: coming over, I worry about the ones that are here.

1164
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: And I thought that was a good perspective from him,

1165
01:04:58,040 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: to be like, look, I'm trying to bring up our

1166
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: people here. You know, whatever we gotta do over there,

1167
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: they gotta do. But right now, I'm worried about right

1168
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: here where I'm at right now, you know. And I

1169
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: have to agree with it, man, I mean, you know,

1170
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: it makes me sad. I fly first class everywhere I go.

1171
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm not bragging, I'm proud, and it's part of the story.

1172
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: I always look for the other Latino in first class.

1173
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: I always, I always look for the other black person

1174
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: in first class. And ninety percent of the time I'm

1175
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: the only fucking brown person Latino in first class. And

1176
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: it makes me go, what are we doing wrong? We

1177
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: gotta do something different because I'm the only one in

1178
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: first class here, you know, and especially as a Latino too.

1179
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm at you know. I go to the lounge,

1180
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, the American Airlines lounge. I'm a member. I

1181
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: go in there. The only Latinos I see are serving me,

1182
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Ain't none of them were Ain't none of them enjoying

1183
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: like me? So so what, you know what I mean,

1184
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm always thinking, how do we change it? And by

1185
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: the way, that's why my stand up is the way

1186
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: my stand up is. I don't I don't. I don't

1187
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: make it about being Latino. I make it about this

1188
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: is my wife, my kids, my dad, my life. If

1189
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: you relate to us a Latinos, because I am Latino,

1190
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: not because I'm making it about being Latino. But you know,

1191
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: clearly we live in a country where there different groups

1192
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: experience different things, right, So when you think about comedy,

1193
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: in your opinion, are there you need like special challenges

1194
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: that Mexican Americans face that black comedians don't face being

1195
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: marginal groups. That's a great question. I I am not

1196
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: in a movie, i am not on a TV show.

1197

01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: get auditions all the time and it was always accent required.

1201
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: And I would walk into these auditions and they would

1202
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: be like, oh, you're not Mexican, And I'm like, what

1203
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: then does that mean? Well? Can you do this with

1204
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: an accent? You know? I mean I gotta I got,

1205
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: you know. Will and Grace came back and my my

1206
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: agent calls me, Steve Man. You you're going straight to producers.

01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: was I was to play a gay Latino with an accent.

1210
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,959
Speaker 1: And instead of Jack, I would say it said Yak

1211
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: with a y hey yack, you know. And so then

1212
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: when I would go in to pitch my TV shows,

1213
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: which I've had several opportunities to do, so they would

1214
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: look at me and go, well, how is this Mexican?

1215
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm sorry, I don't happening out the

1216
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: jokes for you, but this is my life. So what

1217
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: So what happened when they gave you the pitch? When

1218
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: they gave you the pitch and say that we want

1219
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: you to play a gay Latino? Were you receptive of that.

1220
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. I'm sorry, I ain't doing I'm

1221
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put on an accent. I'm not gonna

1222
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: make fun of my people. You know, I'm just not

1223
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: doing it. Put on that dress? Yeah, but but it

1225
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: but I mean it depends. Was it a cute dress though?

1226
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 1: Was it a cute dress? But but you know, so

1227
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: those are the issues that as a as a Latino

1247
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 1: I can't tell how many times I walked into a

1248
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: studio and they go, well, we already have a Latino project.

1249
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Do you tell white people you

1250
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: already have a white project? You know what I mean?

1251
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what the are you talking about? Black

1252
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 1: people still get it some but not to the extent

1253
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 1: that you gonts get it, and and and white people

1254
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,560
Speaker 1: don't get it at all. It's just like, you know,

1255
01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I talked about this on Berk Chrisher's podcast,

1256
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, I get all these

1257
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: comics and comments of people going, damn, dude, get over it.

1258
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: Maybe Mexicans aren't talented, and all kinds of ship, and oh,

1259
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: here we go with race card again, and I'm like,

1260
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: it's not race card, it's facts. Look it up. You know,

1261
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 1: out of out of all the movies and all the

1262
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 1: TV that was out in two thousand and eighteen, the

1263
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: Mexican American had only a hundred rolls, one hundred out

1264
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: of all of it. Not only that just put fourth perspective,

1265
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:33,959
Speaker 1: how many roles were there? Thousands To put it into perspective,

1266
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: we were point oh five percent of on screen rolls

1267
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eighteen, point oh five percent. Now,

1268
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: six of those hundred played an accent, played rapists, murderers,

1269
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: drug dealers, valet parkers are maids. So now you've only

1270
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 1: got forty left. That means there's only forty rolls, right,

1271
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: and there's only there's only very few famous Latino people.

1272
01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 1: So Michael Penny, I probably got two of those roles.

1273
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 1: Sophia Vagara j Low, you know, I mean, there's only

1274
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: a few of us, so you know I'm not pulling

1275
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: the race card. I'm telling you how my life is

1276
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: and what I It is safe for you to play

1277
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 1: the race card any time you want. But but it's

1278
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:18,639
Speaker 1: real ship. But it's real ship. You can play any

1279
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 1: you too, Willie, you too, you can play. You got

1280
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: all kinds of race going out here. You got too

1281
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: many cards because you know why we didn't invent race, right,

1282
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't. We didn't invent race, and we

1283
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: definitely didn't invent race to be separated. I think that

1284
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: the people responsible for race period and responsible for separating

1285
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: race to allow us to play that race card any

1286
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: time we want to. But that's what I love. That's

1287
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: what I mean. To say that they should allow us

1288
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: to play the car would be like asking for probition.

1289
01:11:53,080 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: We just do just race card right now. But but

1290
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: that's what I love about, you know. I always tell

1291
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: people like you know, I didn't feel racism growing up

1292
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: in Texas until I moved to California. And when I

1293
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 1: moved to California, Black people here, Asian people here, white

1294
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: people here, Latinos here, and I go, man, growing up

1295
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: in Texas, we're just Texans, and nobody gave a funk,

1296
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: at least where I grew up. You know, nobody. Well, Houston,

1297
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: they give a funk. But it's still it's still, it's

1298
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: still a very a melting pie here though it's a

1299
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: it's a it's me, but let the powers that be

1300
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 1: give a fuck. Well, I mean, and that's what would

1301
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: bump me out right, because I'd be like, wait a minute,

1302
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: when I'm getting standing innovations in the o R at

1303
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: the comedy store, nobody else's you know, I'm I'm I'm

1304
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: touring the I'm not even right now. Man. I got

1307
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, a successful podcast, my specials do well. I

1308
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: don't have a deal. You don't have a deal. I

1309
01:12:58,439 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: don't have a deal. I don't have a TV show.

1310
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't have you know. And it's like it's and

1311
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: I assure you if I played the vacto, if I

1312
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 1: walked on stage and played the a what's up? Bro.

1313
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: You know, I assure you, because it's all about formula. Right,

1314
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: we all know formulas, and we see the formulas and

1315
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 1: the patterns. Right. Four Latinos have ever been on HBO

1316
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: four All right, Carlo's Vencia, Paul Rodrigez, George Lopez, and

1317
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: Felippez Parza. They all have the exact same things in common.

1318
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 1: They're all from Los Angeles, they all grew up on

1319
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: welfare with immigrant parents. They all have an accent. It's

1320
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 1: they're all the same. But when they see a texting

1321
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: like me in South Texan, like me who wears cowboy

1322
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: boots and jeans and a T shirt, they don't know

1323
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: what the funk? I am comedian? You dressed like a comedian.

1324
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a comment. You know. You may have

1325
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: to just I have to. Just you fund it, mad,

1326
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: fund that ship yourself because and I'm happy because because

1327
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: they're there are a lot of platforms out there that

1328
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: are begging for content they need, and they're competing for content.

1329
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: And you shoot your own ship and then you put

1330
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:18,679
Speaker 1: it in their face and it'll be a lot easier

1331
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: for them to pick it up once they see it,

1332
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 1: as opposed to them trying to envision that your vision is,

1333
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what we've been doing. Yeah, And I'm
