I just knew that 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.520 that was for me. Eight you were eight when you 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.240 so did the family Like we used to come over 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.320 and gather around and your mom say, Steve, no, you 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.440 know what. I always tell this story because it's it's 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.720 you know, it's a trippy story. And I remember so 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.560 you know, you know how you remember times in your life. 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:28.160 You know, drink um. So we always have barbecues at 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.760 our house and always the men were outside, women inside, right, 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.400 and you know, man, my dad, refinery worker, welder, pipe fitter. 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.680 I mean they're tough dudes, man, you know, tough Mexican dudes. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.720 And they'd be outside hanging out. I remember one time 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.760 the men and the women were inside and I'm like, 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.359 I remember thinking, this is different. You know, these husbands 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.440 don't hang out with these wives. And it was, by 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.079 the way, my bad trips out because I'm like, we're 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.040 having game night. It's like game night, yeah, my wife 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.480 other wives like what are you fucking gay? And I'm like, no, 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.079 like we hang out, man. But it was they were 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:06.680 watching they were watching Richard Pryor and they were all laughing, man, 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.760 And I thought to myself, I've never seen my dad 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.320 and my mom sit down together and laugh like that. 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.280 And it changed my life that right there. I was like, 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.720 that's what I'm gonna do. Shot out like Jack and 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:23.080 Richard jokes like, did you Eddie Murphy's because I know 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.480 I used to do that toot Eddie Murphy raw. Man. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.960 I started watching Eddie Murphy rall your funny motherfucker bro 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.920 for real, man, like a funny motherfucker for real. We 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.080 look man, and I ain't bullshitting you guys. I learned 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.400 so much from listening to you guys, And that's not bullshit. 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.520 And I tell you why, y'all's lyrics and I wanted 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:48.080 to talk about this. Y'all's lyrics are so honest and 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.320 you show you you guys show weakness, and most rappers 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.720 don't show weakness. Well, you know, you know the walk 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.200 around well when you know what he's talking about, you know, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:04.320 like vulnerability and talking about being scared and wanted to 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.480 get out of the game and and you know, making mistakes, right, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.640 making mistakes. And to me, that's why y'all's music connected 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.400 to me so much. It's because to me, it felt 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.920 more real than just going hard all the time. Yeah, 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.839 you know those lyrics in my mind is playing tricks 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.680 on me. When you talk about you know, you know 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.599 I want I didn't want to be with her, and 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.080 you realize you sucked up, you know, or when you're 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.880 in church asking God to get you, you know, all 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.280 that stuff. And so I take that to my stand up. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.039 I try to be vulnerable in my stand up. I 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.200 try to be I try to be sometimes I'm losing. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.880 You know, a lot of comics they always want to win, right, 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.120 And my stand up man I lose all the time. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.000 My wife wins, you know what I mean? How but 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.680 how how do your wife wins so much? When you 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:58.880 speak wife? Because at the end of the day, I'm 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.760 still with it, you know what I mean, At the 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:01.880 end of the day, I'm still with her. At the 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:03.280 end of the day, I love her. And at the 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.320 end of the day she always gets what she wants anyway, 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.000 you know. So it is a happy life, happy life. 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.320 It feels that it seems like it seems like it is. 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.680 I tell people all the time, like, man, I don't 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.599 need ship. We're talking about earlier. I don't need ship, 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.040 you know, I want the same bullshit. But but are 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.240 you happy though? I mean, I'm very happy, man, Okay. 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.480 And you know what I didn't know. No, Well, here's 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.480 what's tripping. I don't know if you guys, uh, talent wise. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.760 I didn't start be I started changing in my stand 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.479 up because I fell in love with this girl and 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.200 I fucking hated her for it. I for real hated 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.080 her for it because I'm like, man, I'm I'm on 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.960 the road, I'm a comic, I'm a fucking pirate. I'm 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.120 crushing ass everywhere I go. I'm drinking. I'm doing whatever 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.120 I want. What's a pirate but fucking raping and pillaging 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:56.160 and fucking going from town to town um and then 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.080 all sadden. I meet this girl and I'm fall in 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.760 love with her, and I hated her for it. So 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.000 I walked on stage and started talking about hating her 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:08.360 for it, and it was funny, but it wasn't connecting 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.000 because I was angry. And then once I decided, once 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.200 I felt okay with being that guy and being with her, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.559 then the love came into the jokes them. Ship really 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.200 changed for me, and we did Relatable in Corpus Christie 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:27.080 for Netflix, and that thing blew up Man and everybody. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.680 You know, they couldn't see the love I had from 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.279 my wife in it when before it was just angry. Yeah, 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:37.120 So were you cognizant of putting the funny in it? 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.159 Make it? Because I always here, I hit comedians that 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.920 was that a serious? Sometimes they go through certain things 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:44.960 and they want to bring that out in the comedy. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:49.000 And I've always respected comedians who awoke who who who 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.680 would go there and talk about social issues. But you know, 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.960 did you ever did you ever get to a point 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.719 to where you you thought that um, you know, perhaps 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.520 I need need to make it. I need to stick 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:05.880 to funny first and then talk about serious away exactly, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.840 you know. And I remember hearing Richard Prior talking about that, right, Like, 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.120 at the end of the day, we're our comics and 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.760 the idea is to be funny. But nowadays, man, it's 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.080 gotten deep for me. My act is about family, being 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.440 a family man, trying to be a better dad, a 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.280 better husband, you know, And I get deep in that way. 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.000 I don't do politics, I don't do religion. I get 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.320 deep in the you know, man. I I work every 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.000 day to be a good dad. I work every day 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:32.960 to be a good husband to my wife. And it's 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.320 a it's a growth process. So while I'm telling these 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.040 stories that are funny, I kind of like, like I 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.280 said that that premise that I'm working on right now. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.320 How do you raise a privileged kid? Right, because the 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.000 three of us here, well, I don't have ship growing up. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.320 I had hard working dad and me and me and 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:57.440 we just talked about each other. We didn't really have right, 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.560 So how do you raise a prevous job? Don't know? Man, 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.520 you know, that's that's a struggle to me and my 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:07.040 wife for having are you privileged? Now twenty years of 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.080 doing stand up man? Now you know I got a 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:18.440 bank rom I'm rich.
