Speaker 3: What do you put on your hot dog?

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm so basic. I just want to ketchup mayo, mustard,

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: mayo hot dog. That's a lot of judgment right there.

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: That's a lot of judgment.

30
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: I've never I've never heard them putting Mayo on a

31
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: hot dog.

32
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Okay, mustard, ketchup onions, relish, chili cheese, sound crap.

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: Mayo.

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll put Mayo on a sandwich. So I like

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: Mayo on a sandwich. But for me, a hot dog

36
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: is just it's the same. It's just a different you know,

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: the meat, the meat is shaped different, you know what

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: I mean?

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: You do realize that hot dog is not a sandwich, right,

40
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: I can agree.

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: We can agree to disagree, Shannon, we can agree to disagree.

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: I've just tried to so. So at what age did

43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: you say, you know what? I want something different. I

44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: don't want catch up, I don't want mustard, I don't

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: want relish. I'm won't try Mayo on a hot dog.

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: I think because of the fact that I always grew

47
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: up eating Mayo, so I would put Mayo basically on everything.

48
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: You know, really, yeah, that is that is that that

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: was from a very early age, and it's just that

50
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: was just something that I did. I mean once I

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: once it caught on, it was like all right. So

52
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: like when I go to England and and they're like, oh,

53
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: they eat their fries with mail, I'm like cool, and

54
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm just like, yeah, I'll show you how to do it.

55
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: French fries with mayo.

56
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: That's what they do in England.

57
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 3: Yes, oh no, man, come on bro, are we still cool? Yeah? Yeah,

58
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,320

00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,600

62
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: that's why I draw the line right there.

63
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: Gabriel, please tell me you don't put mayo or a burger.

64
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: Yes, I put may on a Shannon.

65
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: Really, goddamn, you do realize that mayo doesn't have to

66
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: go on everything.

67
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,120

Speaker 2: quality of food that that I'm about to, you know, right,

95
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,560

179
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: too heavy.

180
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: So when you're young, it's easy er to carry around

181
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: that weight. Yes, you know what I'm saying. So it's

182
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: it's it's it's one of those things where everything's still functional,

183
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: there's no issues, nothing hurts yet. Yes, I was in

184
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 2: my twenties and I'm pushing you know, I'm pushing for

185
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: four fifty, you know my heaviest. That was, like I said,

186
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: right on four thirty. For forty, let's just say four forty,

187
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: four thirty nine forty. Yeah, And everything's functional, like I said, functional,

188
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: like you know what I mean. I didn't need a pill,

189
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: I didn't need nothing. And then it just got to

190
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: a point where it became uncomfortable, where I started getting

191
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: panic attacks. I would wake up and I'm just like

192
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: I can't breathe right. I don't feel good, and I'd

193
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: stand up and I just I'd have to go outside.

194
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: I'd have to go outside and I have to take

195
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: off my shirt and just stand there and just let

196
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: the cold air hit me. And I remember I was

197
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: in Washington, DC and I got hit with a really

198
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: bad panic attack because I had a sinus infection and

199
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: I couldn't breathe right. And then I had that and

200
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: I just had to run outside and it was snowing,

201
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: and now I'm outside in the snow and I took

202
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: off my shirt and I'm standing outside. I looked freaking.

203
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: I looked like like a homeless dude on the street

204
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: because I'm just standing there no shirt. But the panic

205
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 2: attack was so pre internet that no nobody saw. But

206
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: it was one of those things where it's like it

207
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: was such a such a moment where it affected me

208
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 2: so much. And I still get panic attacks, but it

209
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: really takes a lot for one to kick in. But

210
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: back then, because of the weight, it was just like that.

211
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: And then I said, man, all right, So I started

212
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: going to the gym and I lost a little bit

213
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: of weight, but it wasn't enough, and then I wound

214
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: up meeting a gentleman by the name of Diamond Dallas

215
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: Page DDP GDP and he's got this program. And I

216
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 2: met him. I was doing an interview with a podcast

217
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: with Roddy Roddy Piper, the late great Roddy Roddy Piper,

218
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: and I met him at the studio and I talked

219
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: to him for a little bit and I said, hey, man,

220
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: I met you in Florida. You were really cool, and

221
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: you got this program. I'm interested. And he turned me

222
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: onto it. And not only did he turn me onto it,

223
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: he was checking on me every day. He was checking

224
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: on me, Hey man, good, are you doing what you're

225
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: supposed to do? And he helped me to lose almost

226
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: one hundred pounds, So I credit him for that.

227
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: Wow.

228
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: I stuck to his program and it really helped change

229
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: me because it's like I became flexible. I dropped all

230
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: this weight. The panic attacks stopped, and then I just

231
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: plateaued him, this is you know, I've been at this

232
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: weight since, but it's one of those things where it's

233
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: like to carry that much weight. You know, a lot

234
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: of times people are telling me, hey, hey, Ralphie, may,

235
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 2: how you doing. They would confuse me with Ralphie May

236
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: and you know, I miss of Ralphie May passed away

237
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: a few years ago. But he was much heavier than me.

238
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: But the fact that I was being confused for him

239
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 2: told me, hey man, that's another reason, like hey man, yeah.

240
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: Have you thought about going glps or those zipic the

241
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: major nodes tried zeppotide.

242
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: So I did. I did try. Like I went and

243
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: did a consultation to see about gastric bypass because I thought, okay,

244
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: maybe this if I can tie it up, we can

245
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: control it. And then they told me, well, you got

246
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 2: to lose like fifty pounds first, get yourself to a

247
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: certain place, and then we can do the procedure. And

248
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, if I can lose fifty pounds, then I

249
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: can lose one hundred pounds. I don't need this right.

250
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: And then when it came down to medication like manjaro

251
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: o zempic and stuff like that, I got an ozempic

252
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: for maybe five months, and ozempic works. Ozempic is scary

253
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: how good it works because it does curb your appetite

254
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: to a place where you're like, do I even need food?

255
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: Like seriously, I just would look at food. I'm not

256
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: like it was gross. But I'm like, I'm good and

257
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: I started losing weight. But the problem with ozempic is

258
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 2: You're gonna lose more muscle than fat and my shoulders,

259
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: like even though I'm a big guy, like you know,

260
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: over weight, it ain't coming back.

261
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 3: Gave eight's not coming back.

262
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: I'm yeah, you're thirty. I'm thirty.

263
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you could have been alive.

264
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, no, I'm I'm I'm you know, I got strength.

265
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: So the fact that I was, I lost my shoulders.

266
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: But I'm like, okay, yeah, I'm losing weight, but I'm like,

267
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: oh and so I didn't like it, and then you know,

268
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: you're you're a little bit nauseous. That's part of the deal.

269
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: And I got off of it. I got off of

270
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: the Ozmpic and immediately I gained back twenty pounds like that.

271
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: It is scary how quick you you regained the weight.

272
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: And you know, you want to hear a crazy story.

273
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: I was actually uh supposed to be the original face

274
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: for Ozempic. Ozempic reached out to me many years ago

275
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: and we're like, we got this brand, we got this product,

276
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: and we want to see if you're interested. And they

277
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: offered me a freaking incredible deal to be the face

278
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: of ozempic. Before freaking oh, I was supposed to be

279
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 2: the guy singing that yeah in the commercials. They wanted

280
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: me to be the brand, the face for it. And

281
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: even though it was a it was a you know,

282
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: a million dollar deal, I couldn't do it. It wasn't

283
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: a voice. Overall. What they wanted from me was was

284
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: more than what I could give because I was going

285
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: to do better on the.

286
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: Road because they wanted they actually wanted you to.

287
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: They wanted me to go out and tour me basically

288
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: the facing. Okay, you're you're selling ozempic around wherever.

289
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: But let me ask you this. Let's just say, for

290
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: the say you say you're around three twenty. Now, let's

291
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: just say, for the sake of argument, you lost another

292
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: sixty seventy pounds. Do you think that will change you?

293
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: Do you are people? Because I think that people. You

294
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: can't be fluffy anymore. You're not fluffy.

295
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: So I had this conversation with big Boy. You know

296
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: big Boy here La Real ninety two three. Yes, Yes,

297
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: I've known Big Boy for twenty years and I knew

298
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: him when he was five hundred plus pounds when he

299
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: was really big. Yeah, now he's you know, he's maybe

300
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: two ten, Yes, you know. And it was one of

301
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: those things where I said, hey, man, how did things

302
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: change for you once you lost all that weight? You

303
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: weren't big boy anymore? He goes, No, I wasn't big

304
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: boy no more. But I was alive and that's the

305
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: most important thing. So if I lose a hundred or

306
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: whatever the amount of weight is, yeah, I might not

307
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: be fluffy, but man, I'm gonna be alive, and I

308
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: think that's the most important thing. Yes, And I think

309
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: my fans and people would rather see me alive and

310
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: able to function and do what I do rather than

311
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: be the big guy. Because the majority of my material

312
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: I'll touch on the fact that I'm big because we

313
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: know that. But I got stories, i got other things

314
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,479
Speaker 2: that are happening in my life. I'm not one dimensional,

315
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: so I'm good. So I really, I really want to

316
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: lose weight, Shannon. It's a serious thing.

317
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: But it's hard when you're on the road like you

318
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: traveled and you bro, you don't get to sit around.

319
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: Oh you got your schedule is is reverse of what

320
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: a normal person would do because you're eating at we

321
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: wee hours of the morning and then you up for

322
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: another hour or two and then you go to bed.

323
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: So it's not like you know, you gotta I mean

324
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: you would literally have to like come out the show, eat,

325
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: wait the hour or two, and then go work out.

326
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: People don't be wanting to work out, no to it.

327
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean unless you Mark Wahlberg working at at three

328
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning.

329
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: Mark Mark's yeah, he's a special person. That's that's something else.

330
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: But I do realize that I need to be around,

331
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: not just for myself, yes, but I need to think

332
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: and I feel like I need to say it out loud.

333
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: Just because I won't do it for me, I have

334
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: to do it for someone else because I'm wired that way.

335
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: I'm wired that way where I'm trying to always please others,

336
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: everybody else, and I'm the last person. So if I'm

337
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: gonna lose weight, I actually got to do it for

338
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: others because I can't do it for myself. And that's

339
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: that's kind of crazy, right.

340
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: So how is it sleeping? Because I had to get

341
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: a sleep app machine I have. I have sleep app

342
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: really really bad.

343
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: Pretty sure I have have that condition. I haven't done

344
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: the sleep study. But I know that I snored. If

345
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 2: I sleep on my back, I snore, yes, But if

346
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: I sleep on my side, I don't. And if I

347
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 2: sleep face down, I definitely don't. So I've had multiple

348
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: people tell me, all right, when you sleep on your back,

349
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: you snore and then you stop breathing. Then when you

350
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: sleep face down, you you her you don't snore. It's

351
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: just like, go get the test kind of a thing. Oh,

352
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: I know I have it. Yeah, I know I have it. Yeah,

353
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: there's no question.

354
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: Because I had to test, and I have a I

355
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: have a in a machine that they're They're not like

356
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: big and bulky like they used to be. Gaber, They're

357
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: they're they're nice and neat. I travel with it, and

358
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: once you get it, you can't you can't sleep.

359
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: But the question is, like, I consider you to be

360
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: incredible shaping. Uh have you thought about the surgery where

361
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: they can remove a piece of skin.

362
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 3: They're not cutting anything unless yeah.

363
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: See in my case, it's like I know that there

364
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: there's a potential, but I'm afraid of cutting that piece

365
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: of scale because I feel like it would affect the

366
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: way that I speak or perform correct And that's the

367
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: only reason yeah.

368
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: I said, no, I'll go, I'll go get the I

369
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: got to see pet machine. I put it on a

370
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: put the war today.

371
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: I could start a gang with the amount of people

372
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: I know that have that machine. You know what I mean, Like, wow,

373
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 2: you know I got to put extra outlets on the bus.

374
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 2: Like here you go, guys, go ahead.

375
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 3: Vegan. You couldn't You're not You're not no vegan stuff.

376
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: I've you tried that too. Yep. I went six months

377
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: being vegan. I went full cold turkey on the freaking

378
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: on the meat.

379
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no meat.

380
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: I was eating at a place the heck was it

381
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: called I think it was called Veggie Grill. It was

382
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: my go to spot because they used to have these

383
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: chicken tenders that weren't real chicken, but they taste like

384
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: real chicken, right, and so that was like my cheap thing.

385
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 2: But yeah, I did salads and just no dairy, no nothing,

386
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 2: no eggs. Six months and I lost so many friends,

387
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: Like nobody wanted to hang out with me. My peace

388
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: smelled funny. It was bad.

389
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: Say you lost so much weight.

390
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 2: No, I know a lot of fat vegans, which, by

391
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: the way, is like a jip. If you're gonna give

392
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: up me, you might as well be skinny. But if

393
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: you're gonna if you're gonna be giving up me and

394
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: you're still fat, you might as well eat the steak.

395
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So you was once married?

396
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: Is marriage in your future again?

397
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 2: I don't know you read that. I've never been married, married,

398
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 2: never been never said I do, never went down the aisle, never,

399
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: No one ever got me that close. I've always from

400
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: day one, I made a choice that my career was

401
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 2: going to be number one and no one was going

402
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: to top that. And every relationship I've been in, that's

403
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 2: the first thing I told him. The closest you're gonna

404
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: get is number two unless I have a dog, and

405
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: then you're number three, And so you.

406
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 3: Gotta let that build. You can't start off like that, Gabriel.

407
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: You know you you you know. I feel like as

408
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: long as you're up front, you can. You know, there's

409
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: a lot of things you can get away with. But

410
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: the fact that I said I I never wanted to be.

411
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 3: Married, that's out of the question.

412
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: It's I should you should never say never. You should

413
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 2: never say never. But it's never been a priority. I

414
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 2: don't see marriage as something that's like, wow, I see

415
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: marriages like a business transaction. That's all I see it as.

416
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: I see it as a business transaction, and people can

417
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: look at me in any kind of way, but you

418
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: know what, at the end of the day, if things

419
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: don't work out, then you realize it's exactly what I

420
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: said it is. It's a business transaction. I didn't work

421
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: this hard to give up half. I didn't work this

422
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: hard to put myself in a position to lose. I

423
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: sacrificed everything, Shannon, and I think that's one of those

424
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: things a lot of people forget, like, Okay, yeah, you

425
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 2: got the talent, the skill, the mindset. Sacrifice is part

426
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 2: of that and should be part of that because the

427
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: things you're willing to give up, you're willing to give

428
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: up the parties, the anniversaries, those special occasions, those moments,

429
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 2: those family gatherings, all those times when I was on

430
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 2: the road working my ass off, creating and doing what

431
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: I do to create that next special, that next thing,

432
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: growing this brand. People don't realize it. Sacrifice, giving what

433
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: you give up is so huge and crucial to what

434
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: we do. And getting married is one of those things

435
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: where I'm like every friend that i've had that I've

436
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: participated in, and their marriage thing they you know, it

437
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 2: didn't work out, and then I had to watch what happened.

438
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 2: And I'm like and as a comic, every comic I

439
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: know that has gotten married, it's like, h didn't work out, right,

440
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 2: it didn't work out, and then I had to watch

441
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: what happened after that, and I'm just like m And.

442
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: The more you see that happen, the less likely.

443
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 2: So I'm not against the relationship. I think relationships are

444
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: great and it's always awesome to have somebody by your side,

445
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: somebody to be there with you. But as soon as

446
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: you say I do, or a marriage like I just

447
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: it doesn't feel Do you.

448
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: Think do you think people change man or woman once

449
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: they get married.

450
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: I don't know that they change as much as they

451
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: show what the real agenda was.

452
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 3: Oh okay, because.

453
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: I've seen that happen too. As soon as I do happens,

454
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: it's like click and then it's like you feel the

455
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 2: energy and just everything. It's like mm so.

456
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: The whole while you was talking to that represented it

457
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: and there was we said I do now yeah, yeah,

458
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: the representative goal.

459
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 3: Now now you got me.

460
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 2: So the longest relationship I was in was almost fourteen

461
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: years we were together. But from day one we both

462
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: said we weren't trying to be married, you know. We

463
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 2: both agreed that this wasn't going to be a thing.

464
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: So it never was a conversation. It never was we

465
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: have to figure things out. It's just like, all right,

466
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: we went this long, right, you know, and unfortunately things

467
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: didn't work out. And fortunately for me, you know, that's

468
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: a long time. It's a lot.

469
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 3: I mean, did you have a cohabitation agreement?

470
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: There was no call. You know, in California, you don't

471
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: have to have that because it's not a common law thing.

472
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: For me, I didn't feel like I needed to have

473
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 2: any type of agreement because when my ex came in,

474
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 2: she came in with a son, right, and I took

475
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: him on right. I said, all right, you're bringing him in,

476
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: he's mine. Good. We broke up in twenty seventeen, and

477
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: I still have a great relielationship with my son. I

478
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: didn't need a piece of paper to tell me he's mine.

479
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 2: I didn't need some agreement, some judge or nothing that

480
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 2: he's mine, you know, And even though he's pushing thirty,

481
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 2: I still look, I'm still checking up on him. I'm

482
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: still you know, I still I'm very involved in his life.

483
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: And so you know, even though I'm not with her

484
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: no more like you know, whatever she wants to say

485
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, guess what I was.

486
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: I kept my word and I took care of him

487
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: even after married now and I'm still looking out for him, right.

488
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: You know, you think pay for his furniture anyway, Ashley Ashley,

489
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: not Bob's Ashley. So so can I do my shameless

490
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: plug for two seconds?

491
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 3: Go ahead?

492
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 2: For many years, anybody who knows me knows that I'm

493
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: a big fan of tequila. I've been drinking tequila from

494
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: day one, and whether you want to call it a

495
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: Mexican thing or not, that's just been the case. I've

496
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: always drunk tequila. So my go to has all always

497
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: been Patron, year after year after year, Patron, Patrol, Patrol, Patrone.

498
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: And I've been approached several times to have my own brand,

499
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: and I'm like, ah, I like Patron, So unless you're

500
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: you can make something as good or better than Patron

501
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 2: for me, I don't want to entertain it, right, And

502
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: so this past year I was approached by a company

503
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: and they said Gabe, look, we know how you feel

504
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: about Patron, and we think that we can create something

505
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: that you will enjoy just as much. And I said, well,

506
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: all right, let's see about that. And sure enough, not

507
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: only did they meet my expectations, they allowed me to

508
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: create something that was one of those things where because

509
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 2: when they approached me about doing a tequila they said, well,

510
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 2: because you know you're you're from Mexico, so you know,

511
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: we want to make sure that we do something that's like,

512
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, on brand. And I go, you do realize

513
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: I was born here, right, And I'm like, oh shit,

514
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah shit. So I said, I am Mexican,

515
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm Mexican American, and I think that that's one of

516
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: those things that a lot of times people forget. They

517
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: just think it's one side or another, and it's like

518
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: they don't realize that there's a there's there's a hybrid. Yes,

519
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's a combination of the two. And

520
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 2: so I said, look, man, there's never been a story

521
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: told about someone who has a brand that's Mexican and American,

522
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: the two worlds coming together. And so they allowed me

523
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: to to create something and then between the two of US.

524
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: We came up with this brand, and I said, look,

525
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: Mexicans in Mexico have a word for Mexicans born in

526
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: the United States, and the word is bocho, bocho, p o,

527
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: c h o, and it means you're from over there,

528
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: not from over here. You're one of them, not one

529
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: of us. And so even though I'm Brown, I'm still

530
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: considered an outside really yes, And so for example, I

531
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 2: tell stories about performing in Mexico and that I wasn't

532
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: welcome with open arms because I'm still considered an American.

533
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: So I said, all right, well, if we're gonna do

534
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: it tequila, then it needs to be established that it's

535
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: it's from a person who's Mexican but born in the US.

536
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: So the word is bocho, so normally that's considered a

537
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: negative word. So I said, let's flip that word and

538
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: make it a word that's like, all right, I'm acknowledging

539
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: what you call me, but I'm gonna make it awesome.

540
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: So I came up with a tequila called bocho fino

541
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: so phino fine. I'm a fine bocho. So it's like

542
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: one of those things where it's like the flavor is

543
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: it's as good as patron if not better. And honestly,

544
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: I say that because I drink a lot of it.

545
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: And when I say I drink a lot, you see

546
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 2: how you see? You saw what I did?

547
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

548
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what I'm going to continue to do so

549
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: on average, I do about three bottles a weekend and

550
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: I've been doing that for you know what, Shanna.

551
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 3: You've been.

552
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 2: And I feel like, I'm sorry, why share if you're

553
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: going to continue to be so Anyway, we came up

554
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: with this brand called bo Fino and if you notice

555
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 2: on the bottle, you'll see two little dogs, yes too,

556
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: Chiwa chi Wahs are very Mexican and those two dogs

557
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: in particular are my dogs that unfortunately passed away about

558
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 2: a year and a half ago. And I took them

559
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: on the road with me for they've been to forty

560
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: plus states, and I said, all right, if we're gonna

561
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: do something, I want to find a way to honor

562
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 2: my dogs, honor the brand, honor who I am. And

563
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: we came up with this brand called Fino Tequila. And

564
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: this is the first time we are ever featuring it.

565
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: It's not been on I haven't done anything on social media.

00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: promote this brand. This is the very first time we

568
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: are featuring this. So respect to you, even though you

580
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: media case to deal.

581
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: Growing up, we didn't have Shannon, it was just cheat.

582
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: What about spam in the case of deal, spamming dish

583
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: that you opened up a restaurant and put spam in

584
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: case of deal that might be on.

585
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Something, that might be on something, And uh, you know

586
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 2: what I thought about opening up a restaurant. Uh, A

587
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: lot of work goes into it. I'd rather support a

588
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: local business, put up a poster fluffy eats here, and

589
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: then tell them, hey, can you make some spam because

590
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: there's a restaurant in Long Bea that For me, it's

591
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a think of Benny Hanna. Yes,

592
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 2: and they call themselves Mexicana because they'll add like jalapagos,

593
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: they'll add tortillas, they'll add all kinds of random stuff there.

594
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: And I told him, I go, hey, can you add

595
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: spam to the menu and put in a burrito and everything?

596
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: He goes, whatever you want to make it, and then

597
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: he made it and then he called it the fluffy.

598
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: So there's a you know, I'd rather do that, which

599
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: I think is awesome because I can support a local business.

600
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, this for me was very personal, very personal.

601
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: So remember, pocho means a person born in the US,

602
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: not a person born in Mexico. And it's a word

603
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: that it's a negative word that Mexico.

604
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: So they look at you differently.

605
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: So people that was actually born in Mexico look at you.

606
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: Although you're a Mexican descent, they look at you differently

607
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: because you were born in the.

608
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: Exactly you're considered an outsider. And I think this is

609
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: also something that resonates with a lot of different cultures

610
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 2: because anytime you are a certain you know, like for example,

611
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: let's say Indians born here in America versus born in India,

612
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: or you know, Chinese born in America versus right in China. Right,

613
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: there's always a word or a thing where like, uh,

614
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: you're not one of us, you're one of them. And

615
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: so that's that's the word that they created. And I said,

616
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: you know what, let me flip that word. I'll make

617
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: it positive and uh, you know, it was a way

618
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: for me to honor my dogs. But at the end

619
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: of the day, another one, right, yeah, we can get

620
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: into that.

621
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: So you got you got another pety? What type of

622
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: is it?

623
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: Yes? Say it again? Whoa? I like you call it?

624
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: She like you made it? A girl?

625
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: Hua wa chiha wa?

626
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I am. I have a little puppy. She's she's

627
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: not even a puppy at this point. She's a year old.

628
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: She's four pounds. She's a four pound dog. Let me

629
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: tell you, having senior dogs versus having a puppy is

630
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: night and day. Because my senior dogs one was fourteen,

631
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: when was seventeen. I would put them down, no leash,

632
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: and they where I'd walk, they would walk right. And

633
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: what was cool is that, you know? We all had

634
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: the same pace, and so no matter where we walk,

635
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: it was the same, you know what I mean. And

636
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: having a puppy, she's a little bullet. So when I

637
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: put her down, she's gone. If I if I leave

638
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: the door open, Shannon, I no longer have a dog,

639
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: And my friends go, well, would you chase her? And

640
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: what risk cardiac arrest? I'm not that attached. I will

641
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: get another she will wat, I will get another shoe wall.

642
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 3: How are you gonna let how you gonna just let

643
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 3: the dog just go?

644
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: I will? I won't. That's not that's not the plan.

645
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: I mean what she got out one time? Yeah, and

646
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: the neighbors fortunately caught her brought her back. So I

647
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 2: was very lucky that they did that. But now I

648
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: know I have to always leave a leash on her

649
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: right so I can at least step on it and

650
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: then catch her. But yeah, so very happy to you know,

651
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: have that. And again, this is the first time I'm

652
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: ever featuring it. And I know I'm drinking your beverage.

653
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: And at the end of this, I very much like it.

654
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: If you at least took a sample, can you know

655
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: that's yours? That's yours? Yeah, But this is the first

656
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: time we're featuring it. So respect to you, because we

657
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: appreciate that this means a lot, you know. I appreciate

658
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: the fact that you know with your show, I've done

659
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: many shows, I've done many podcasts, I've done many interviews,

660
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: late night talk shows. I appreciate the fact that you

661
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: you do your homework, you you take time to really

662
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: get to all right. So I listened to everything that

663
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: you're asking, things that you're saying, and I'm like, all right,

664
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 2: let me see, all right, okay, how much research went

665
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 2: into that? Because you got to figure I've done a

666
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: million interviews, so I've been asked the same question a

667
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: thousand times. So I appreciate the fact you hit me

668
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: with a couple good ones where I'm like, oh, show,

669
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: how do you know that? Where did that come from?

670
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 3: We know, we know, we know a lot.

671
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, but at home you mentioned you got someone

672
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 1: at home and you got your puppy. Yes, and she understands, Like, look,

673
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: you do understand what I do. I travel a.

674
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 2: Lot, she knows what I do. I can't say that

675
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 2: she always understands what I do, because you know, we

676
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 2: we are in a different vein. We We're not We're

677
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: not a plumber, we're not the nine to five guy,

678
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 2: We're not the norm. And so because of the fact

679
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: that we're not the norm, there's certain things that come

680
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: with that. There's there's a tension that a lot of

681
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: times we don't ask for. That's that walking from the

682
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: valet to this room right now, I probably got stopped

683
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: six times and maybe one hundred yards, Like there are people,

684
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And that's not something that's

685
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: that comes with the normal situation. That's not something that

686
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: comes with the normal relationship. And so you hope that

687
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: they understand. You hope that they see it and get

688
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: it and go all right, Okay, it's this is going

689
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 2: to be a thing for a while.

690
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 3: But because when you go out, obviously it's hard.

691
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: When you go out you want to go to dinner

692
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: or you want to go to a show, going to

693
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: do something other than what you do is hard.

694
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 3: Hey, flippy man, how you doing? Flop me?

695
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 2: Hey?

696
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 3: Can we can you take a picture? Can you take

697
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 3: a picture of Can you take a picture?

698
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: But if it's a female, most can't handle ah at

699
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: that level. No, No, I'm just saying I'm not saying

700
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: that's her, but I'm saying, most can't handle that that

701
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: what like, what's going on? Like who is she that?

702
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 2: Somebody that just got a car and saw me? Like

703
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And so a lot of

704
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: that it goes back into the whole marriage thing where

705
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, you know, year after year after year,

706
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 2: it's like, is this something that you can navigate through?

707
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 2: It is a lot anybody who wants to be with

708
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: an entertainer or an athlete, or someone who's prominent, someone

709
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: who has a huge platform, someone who's famous. It's it's

710
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: not an easy situation to get into. It sounds cool,

711
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 2: it sounds glamorous, it sounds sexy, it sounds fun. But

712
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you got to know

713
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: that people are coming after this person, and you got

714
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: to either be cool with it or just say this

715
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: is not for me. And unfortunately, I've had a few

716
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 2: relationships that just they couldn't handle the fact that that

717
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: you you know what's funny. I hear I hear the

718
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: crew laughing in the bag. But I promise you my

719
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,959
Speaker 2: body counts bigger than yours, bitch, you know what. So yeah,

720
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: whatever you want to say, whatever you want to say, booboo. Yeah,

721
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: no fluff. You got it for many years, absolutely for

722
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: many years. And so it's kind of one of those

723
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: things where you know, it sounds like a joke, right,

724
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: it sounds like a joke. But a lot of times

725
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: people say, well, you know, what is it, uh, what's

726
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 2: the most attractive quality in a man? A sense of humor?

727
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 3: Women love women, Women love men that can make.

728
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 2: Them laugh, not abs a sense of humor.

729
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 3: You've always been able to make people laugh.

730
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: I've always been able to make people laugh. I've always

731
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: you know, that's never been one of those things where

732
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: it lacked. I think the hardest part for me was

733
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: just self control in the sense that like letting myself

734
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 2: get to a place that was uncomfortable, which first of

735
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 2: all was my weight, or not being able to sit

736
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: down and have an honest conversation with someone. I think

737
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 2: a lot of times, if you're not willing to have

738
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: a conversation with someone and go, look, this is what's

739
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 2: going on. Can we be real, like I want to

740
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 2: have this, but understand that this is what comes with it.

741
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: And a lot of times I never wanted to have

742
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 2: that conversation. I just felt like I was easier to

743
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 2: just hide it versus being real with someone and be like, look,

744
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: this is part of the deal. And unfortunately, early on

745
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: I found out quickly just be upfront, just be real,

746
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: just be honest. But you're afraid to because you don't

747
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: want to disappoint, you don't want to make the person

748
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 2: feel uncomfortable. You'd rather hide it. And unfortunately, every single

749
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: time I try to hide it, it didn't work out.

750
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: You have you ever have the woman ever told you,

751
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: Gabriel that I really like you a lot, but you're

752
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: a little bit too heavy.

753
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: The weight situation never came into question because I was

754
00:38:51,320 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: always functional. I was always functional, ever required any extra

755
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't need attachments or medication or anything.

756
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: Everything worked, Everything was good. But now I'm pushing fifty,

757
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 2: so yeah, pill might help. Uh. But there's never been

758
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: a thing where a person ever looked at me and

759
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: said when a person, I'm gonna say a female because

760
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 2: I don't want people to freaking dissect that and go, oh,

761
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 2: he likes dudes too. Just I'm yeah, there was never

762
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: a situation where someone said you don't look attractive to me, right,

763
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: you know, And obviously, uh, sometimes you know when you're overwaked.

764
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 2: Some people don't like that, some people don't find that attractive,

765
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 2: some people are cool with it. I think, ultimately at

766
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: the end of the day is uh, you know, how

767
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 2: do how does this person make me feel?

768
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: Yes?

769
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 2: And then after that, because I feel like guys are

770
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: more visual, women are more like, uh, how do you

771
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 2: make me feel? And fortunately, every relationship I was in

772
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: I was cool. I was nice. You know, hey, what's

773
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: what you want to do? You at the end of

774
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: the day, it's like, you want to get something to eat.

775
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 2: Every girl I dated was like, yeah, I'm hungry.

776
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: What was that feeling like when you got your first

777
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: laugh on stage?

778
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 2: So keep in mind the first laugh I got on

779
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: stage was when I was ten years old. Really yeah,

780
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 2: Like earlier I said I was, I did a school

781
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 2: talent show, went up on stage and I started doing

782
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: these impressions. So as a ten year old, think of

783
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 2: a ten year old doing impressions of Mickey Mouse, Ronald Reagan,

784
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: pee Wee Herman, who was in his prime at that time.

785
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 2: And so when I went up on stage to do

786
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 2: this show, I didn't really understand what stand up comedy was.

787
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 2: I'm a ten year old kid, and I just did impressions,

788
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 2: but the impressions were so close that the people were like,

789
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: oh my god, this ten year old kid is nailing

790
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 2: these impressions. So I'm up there doing you know, freaking

791
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 2: people with herman, you know, like like a ten year

792
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 2: old right now, it looked weird, but a ten year

793
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: old doing that is like a phenomenal. And then Ronald

794
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 2: ray Well Nan she they have basically we had, you know,

795
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: so a ten year old doing that was like and

796
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: then I did Bill Cosby. I won't do the impression

797
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 2: now because yeah, but at ten years old, I was

798
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 2: killing And so it was one of those things like

799
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: all right, And I remember my mom, my brother, and

800
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 2: my sister in law being in the audience. It was

801
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 2: only the three of them in the crowd. And then

802
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 2: when I went out there and I did the impressions,

803
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 2: and the crowd they just applauded. And I didn't know

804
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: what the reaction was supposed to be. I didn't know

805
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: are they supposed to lap? I didn't know what to expect.

806
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 2: So when I went out there and I did the

807
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: characters and the voices, and they're just applauding this and that.

808
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: And then at the end when I said thank you

809
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: good night, and people started standing up and they're applauding,

810
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I didn't know that. That's like that.

811
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: I didn't realize at that moment that audience understood what

812
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 2: they were watching. And I don't want to sound arrogant,

813
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: but they, the crowd, knew what I was doing before

814
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 2: I knew what I was doing. And in hindsight, because

815
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 2: I've been back to my elementary school, I've been back

816
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 2: to that theater, I've been back to that room, and

817
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 2: I realized, like wow that moment, like wow, who knew you?

818
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 2: I was very much hooked. I was very hooked. I

819
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 2: remember sitting at home with my friend watching Deaf Comedy

820
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 2: jam on Saturday nights, and we were just because that

821
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: was the only comedy or that or b ET's Comedy,

822
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: b ET's Comic View, and Deaf Comedy JEM was what

823
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 2: I would watch growing up. That's what I understood, That's

824
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 2: what I gravitated towards. There was no shows to showcase

825
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 2: or feature Latinos Mexicans people that like, this was the

826
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: closest thing. This was the closest thing because it wasn't

827
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: an evening at the improv. It wasn't you know any

828
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: of these other shows that were out there. It was

829
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 2: very very much like close to me. It was very urban,

830
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 2: very hood, very like, yeah, I get.

831
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: That, because that's that's my point, that's my next way.

832
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: And I got a few more. Who is your inspiration?

833
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: Because I mean, are there black? Like, if you're you're black,

834
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: you have Eddie Murphy. You go back to prior and

835
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: you go back to some of these old guys and

836
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: you come forward and the white guys you come back

837
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: with with a jack b and you come back with

838
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: cars and all those guys. So in the Hispanic community,

839
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: who did you who did.

840
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 2: You know what? During that time? You gotta figure there

841
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: wasn't really any form of real representation for Latinos. A

842
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 2: lot of Latinos from what I remember, were gravitated towards

843
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: Martin Lawrence and Martin We would watch Martin. Martin was

844
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 2: like a staple, like, oh my god, this show is

845
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 2: so good. And I love the fact that we're talking

846
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 2: about this now because I just met Martin Lawrence a

847
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 2: week ago. Really, I met Martin Lawrence a week ago,

848
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 2: and I felt like, you know, it's rare for me

849
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: to meet someone and geek the fuck out to the

850
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: point where I'm like, oh shit, it felt weird for

851
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 2: me to talk to him because I just wanted to

852
00:44:54,400 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 2: tell him how impactful his show, his presence, what he

853
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: did on Deaf Jam, what he did in his specials

854
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: meant to me, because it's like like I remember watching

855
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: his shows on the weekend and it's just like back

856
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, and it was it was

857
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 2: so huge, and so to meet him, I didn't want

858
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 2: to be that that that's like, you know, that overwhelming

859
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: person that's like you did shit, But I did. I

860
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 2: gicked out. I geeked out, shan. I geeked that hard.

861
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 2: I geeked that hard with him. But yeah, like, we

862
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 2: don't really have somebody that we could gravitate towards and

863
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 2: be like this is our person, this is who is

864
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 2: you know. So for me watching Deal Hugely doing Comic View,

865
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 2: watching Martin Lawrence do Deaf Jam, and it was always

866
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 2: one of those things where it's like, Okay, there's Martin

867
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 2: Lawrence doing death Jam on the weekends and there's Deal

868
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: Hugely doing Comic View during the week and it was

869
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: one of those things where it's like which one are you?

870
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: Are you Comic View. Are you Comic View or your

871
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: deaf jam? And You're like ah. And then I started

872
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: doing stand up and then I got an opportunity to

873
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 2: go do Comic View, and I'm like, holy shit, it

874
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: was so huge. I remember I was at the Normandy

875
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: Casino and here in LA and the host that year,

876
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 2: because they changed hosts, the host was Ronaldo. Everybody there's

877
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 2: a Ronaldo raid. And I just I just remember, I'm like,

878
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: I went out there on stage and I had such

879
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 2: a I had a great and I don't toot my

880
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 2: own horn, but I had a great show. And I

881
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 2: just remember like, Wow, I'm on Comic View. It was

882
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 2: so awesome. I never enjoyed that one hundred and fifty

883
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: dollars more because that's what they paid you. That's all

884
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: they paid you. Back then. There was no residuals, no nothing.

885
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 2: And I remember that there was a whole argument back

886
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 2: then like oh, they're not paying residuals, they're not paying SAG,

887
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: they're not paying after I'm like, we're doing a show

888
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: in a casino. Be happy that you're on TV. That's

889
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 2: another thing, Shannon, that I feel like a lot of

890
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 2: times these comics would get in a place where they

891
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 2: made it more about the money than the actual craft.

892
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 2: They focused more on like, am I getting sagged? Am

893
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: I getting after? Am I getting scale? Am I getting

894
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 2: paid what I'm supposed to be getting paid? They focus

895
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: more on that more than hey man, how many people

896
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 2: are going to see this clip? How many people are

897
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: going to see this show? How many people are going

898
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 2: to get what I'm doing right now? A lot of

899
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 2: times the comics get wrapped up more in the money,

900
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 2: And I feel like the best advice someone told me

901
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 2: early on was don't worry about the money. Work on

902
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 2: your craft. The money will come. And I still feel

903
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 2: like that still is the thing. If you're more focused

904
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 2: on the money, then you're not You don't really give

905
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 2: about what the thing that is you're doing.

906
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: Because there was a lot a lot of comedians that

907
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: was their first that was everybody's first introduction to.

908
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 2: Them was Comic View.

909
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 3: It was Comic View.

910
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: Death Jam was a lot more challenging to get into. Unfortunately,

911
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 2: I never got to perform on death Jam. I wish

912
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: I did. I had a lot of friends that got

913
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 2: to do death Jam, but I never got that opportunity.

914
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 2: I will tell you the opportunity I did get though.

915
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 2: The first time I performed in New York. First time

916
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 2: I performed in New York was on its Showtime at

917
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: the Apollo, And for those of you that don't know,

918
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 2: it's Showtime at the Apollo was the most I don't

919
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 2: think there's a room or a venue or a show

920
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,240
Speaker 2: that was more challenging than it. Showtime at the Apollo

921
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: because it's the Showtime at the Apollo was one of

922
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 2: those places where, man, if you even flinched and felt

923
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: like you were not supposed to be there, the audience

924
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 2: would know. There's a show called American Idol, there's a

925
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 2: show called America's Got Talent, and you have an opportunity

926
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 2: to go out on that stage. You present yourself, you

927
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 2: do what you gotta do, and you have four chances

928
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: to impress that audience because the judges don't like you,

929
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 2: eh and okay, all right, okay, you have and then

930
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 2: you have that dynamic of the audience and the judge.

931
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 2: So if the audience still loves you and the judges don't,

932
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 2: the audience is like, stop doing that. They're good, give

933
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 2: them a chance. It's Showtime at the Apollo was the

934
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 2: rost most honest form of an audience because you had

935
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: seconds to show them what you could do, and if

936
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 2: they didn't like you, they could smell through anything you

937
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: were trying to present. So I went to a showtime

938
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: at the Apollo in nineteen ninety nine, okay, and I

939
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 2: feel like an old guy already there was and they

940
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 2: were not stay right there. Nineteen ninety nine, Steve Harvey

941
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 2: was the host, and I don't care what Kat said.

942
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 2: He had his man unit. He had his man unit.

943
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 2: Steve's always been nothing but nice to me. So I

944
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 2: don't want to ever say anything negative about Steve. So

945
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: has Kat all these guys. I'm the last person to

946
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 2: say anything negative. Kat was incredibly welcoming and inspiring early on.

947
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: But let me tell you showtime at the Apollo nineteen

948
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 2: nine and nine. The guy that went out before me

949
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: was a comic that I went there with. And this

950
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: was very uncomfortable because the comic that I went there

951
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 2: with we were sharing a hotel room, Shannon. We were

952
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 2: sharing a hotel room. The idea was, we're both going

953
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 2: to New York for the first time. We don't know

954
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 2: what to expect. It's expensive, yes, So we went in

955
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 2: together to share a hotel room. And then we go

956
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 2: to a show tebout the Apollo. He goes out before me.

957
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he bombed so hard, Like he went

958
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 2: out there like unfortunately another Mexican dude. He went out

959
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 2: there and when he went out in front of the

960
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 2: audience at the Apollo, he went out there trying to

961
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 2: be something he wasn't. So he went out there and

962
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 2: he's like, yo, yo, what's so how y'all do how

963
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 2: y'all be? But off stage he's like, like, your speedy

964
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 2: goes all us off stage and you're trying to be

965
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 2: this person on stage and the audience smelled right through it.

966
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 2: They booed him off the stage.

967
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta be good at the wrap.

968
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 2: Ugly. So he comes off stage and he just got

969
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 2: his head down. And I remember since he walked past me,

970
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: Steve Harvey looked at me. He looks at me and

971
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 2: he goes, you next. So then Kiki Shepherd, who was

972
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: the co host in nineteen ninety nine, comes up to me.

973
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 2: She goes, baby, your shirt is way too loud. The

974
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 2: audience will boo you on the shirt alone. I go,

975
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 2: so what do I do? Take off the shirt? I go,

976
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 2: but I just have a white T shirt underneath. Trust me,

977
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 2: they will boo you on that shirt take it off.

978
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 2: So when you see my clip from a showtime at

979
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 2: the Apollo, I'm walking out on stage in just a

980
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 2: white T shirt. And I'm not saying that had anything

981
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 2: to do with me. But I had one of the

982
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 2: best sets. I was like, oh my god, like it

983
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 2: went really well, and so I was very happy about that.

984
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 2: But the problem with having an incredible set at it

985
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 2: showed him at the Apollo and getting a standing ovation

986
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 2: is now I got to go back to my hotel

987
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 2: room and share a hotel room with the But that

988
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 2: just got booed. Yeah, and so I couldn't enjoy my night.

989
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 2: So the next day I went to go visit Gary On. Okay,

990
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,640

995
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 2: booed at the Apollo. Can he give him five minutes

996
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: so he can work out his set, because they're going

997
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:56,880
