18:44

if it's gonna be like this all the time I don't even want to [ __ ] do this anymore how much preparation did you do

18:50

before going preparation no I went in thinking I'm funny

18:56

I could do this [ __ ] I watch get locals

19:02

I watched all seasons all the seasons

19:07

um I didn't know how to structure a joke I didn't know like uh the premise and then the punchline and I was just

19:14

talking dude really yeah we're just talking and nobody was digging my uh my jokes or nothing I I don't even think I

19:20

got one laugh bro yeah I remember one of my stupid jokes bro I said um are you guys you guys look

19:27

young so if I say do you guys remember the pagers oh yeah yeah I remember those okay so um

19:34

did you have one no I didn't have one did you did you have one no but my dad did so okay so on the pagers I'm gonna

19:41

this is how bad the joke was I have to explain it to for you guys could get it so you guys could get the joke so when

19:46

when you have your pager and you had no pages on the pager of saying no pages

19:53

that's they'll say no pages so I I this is my dumb joke I used to say there it is it says no I don't know if you can

19:59

see no pages but mine said no Pages a lot of them said no pages so I used to say this stupid [ __ ] joke I said uh

20:07

uh um how did I set it up I said uh I forgot to pay my I forgot I forgot to

20:15

pay my pager bill and they disconnected it so when I went

20:21

to pay it I tell the guy hey man I didn't pay I didn't pay it on time

20:26

because my pager said no buggies

20:31

I got it sap button for me yeah so no pages in

20:38

Spanish is no Pages don't pay oh don't pay it

20:43

there we go bro and back then doing well that's one of the funniest [ __ ] yeah I

20:49

ever [ __ ] written in my life bro and nobody left nobody [ __ ] left dang dang you need you need one of me in the

20:55

crowd yeah and this is all confident I was I said the joke and I even pause I'm gonna pause so they could laugh

21:01

[Laughter]

21:08

traveling over here right now and nothing bro it was a crowd full of cholos so maybe they didn't have any

21:14

pagers or did did cholos have Patriots back then everybody everybody had papers

21:20

yeah nothing bro they didn't get it dude there are no Sabo cholos back then yeah no or maybe I was just ahead of my time

21:27

[Laughter]

21:39

even now I never practiced my joke on nobody really yeah yeah so a lot of

21:45

comics don't really yeah well the people I hang out don't I don't know about other fools but no I don't okay yeah how

21:52

do you practice just going over just writing them and then just reading them yeah that's it

21:57

and it's when I go up on stage like I know what to say already bro do you read them out loud or you just I just read

22:02

them it's all in your meantime yeah really yeah yeah have you still have you bombed like now like recently or no no

22:10

not as bad but I feel like everybody bombs you you have to and I'm not gonna

22:16

say bomb I still there's times where I don't do as good because I'm I'm trying new [ __ ] or or or

22:22

or whatever it is whatever occasion it is um but nah yeah there's there's times where I don't do as good as other days

22:28

but you have to take the crowd into consideration right like that you never but you know

22:34

demographic yeah you never want to because I was at at a young comedy age

22:39

Gabriel Gabriel Iglesias told me hey you want to be funny to everybody you

22:46

just don't want to be funny to uh to Raza you want to be funny in Middle America you want to be funny across

22:53

across the world bro don't think big and sure enough dog when he told me that

22:59

I started writing differently and and look at I've been to it every state in the U.S and I've been I've been

23:05

everywhere around the the country damn dude yeah just a little advice that he gave me always stuck Bro went a long way

23:13

yeah and he told me it's good if you write jokes like that but just remember write other stuff too you don't want to

23:19

be just have one set you want to have different sets for everybody okay and

23:24

back then I didn't get it I'm like oh what do you mean yeah you know what do you mean bro you know but it helped me

23:30

out a lot dude that's that's one of the advice that I try to give people now and to ask for

23:35

help I go hey dude this is what works for me a lot of things that work for you are not going to work for other people

23:42

but I always share the [ __ ] knowledge bro you know what I mean yeah yeah so it it and he told me too he goes someone

23:49

give him advice because Gabriel said when he was young he used to cuss a lot oh so someone give him that advice hey

23:56

man people love you bro you're likable stop cussing and get look at gabri now he's one of the cleanest Comics

24:01

33:42

yeah man they found you out little do you [ __ ] know how much of writing comedy is is truth because I I I

33:49

read you know some books about writing comedy and stuff and they say that 50 50

33:55

50 50 is truth and 50 is is elaborate like you saw me you saw me uh uh a

34:02

couple like a month ago at the Laugh Factory yeah what jokes do it from the jokes that you remember

34:07

throw me out one of the jokes and I'll let you know well first it was uh the Scorpio one

34:13

okay so no my mom's a cancer okay uh the bidet joke it's a true story okay but

34:19

there is a true story um I got my bidet and uh at Home Depot

34:26

oh yeah they sound like they sell them there I told you they sold the attack yeah yes that that's at the attachment

34:31

the attachments yeah and the attachments are expensive too bro and um we're going to Home Depot that's tomorrow that's

34:38

right got my birthday bro was that it was at Home Depot and I told my mom sit down and she [ __ ] pressed

34:44

something and the rest is history and it's crazy because back then where I

34:50

used to live I used to live in Orange County I used to live in Brea so the restroom where I put the bidet

34:57

my restroom didn't have a door well yeah that restaurant because it was in the master bedroom so I had no door

35:04

so when I went to I told my mom to go to the restroom like I couldn't I couldn't see her reaction or nothing because it had no [ __ ] door so I had to stay

35:11

outside but when she [ __ ] yelled I was just laughing dog yeah yeah I wish I could have saw but I

35:18

mean you would have been even more dramatized

35:24

um see what other joke bro um do you remember any other ones I

35:29

can't remember other ones those are the two that stuck out to me which one else did you do I talked about

35:36

um oh you said about the ring oh yeah you went to measure your fiance's uh ring

35:44

finger yeah um that that's it's a true story but she wasn't asleep oh yeah yeah

35:49

she wasn't asleep but I found out that uh the uh the majority of girls the ring

35:56

fingers the same size of the shoe oh yeah yeah okay because it was true too with

36:03

their shoe size and her and her ring size yeah yeah oh no no no no no no no I

36:08

take it back she thought it was it was it was the same size but it was um it wasn't

36:14

the majority of people that the girls the females are the same size shoe and uh and um in the ring and the ring

36:20

finger yeah is that is that a proven fact is it can we look down a place

36:27

yeah dude Gil tell him about your first time on the day oh dude it's the [ __ ]

36:32

best yeah what nationality are you fool I am I'm Chicano but uh yeah I'm not Filipino okay no because I look like

36:39

Filipino I look like I'm Filipino or Mexican but I I'm gonna listen yeah and then you said oh sap because you didn't

36:46

understand okay maybe there's some food yeah yeah Tagalog is a lot like uh Spanish right

36:54

oh Tagalog Tagalog is the language that they speak in in Philippines I always heard tagalo is it oh Tagalog Tagalog

37:03

yeah it's almost like oh maybe tomato tomato that's a new one I forgot what I

37:08

was looking at yeah you're looking at the ring size and shoe size for the girl that's right yeah I wonder is that is that true for you

37:14

Amber oh okay do you have a yeah do you have a ring no

37:20

well I know my ring size but it doesn't match my shoes she's keeping that confidential she wants me to figure out

37:26

figure it out somewhere yeah oh there it goes look is there

37:35

it's February 13th I bet a lot of young men are Google searching this right now

37:40

yeah let's see pure lucky coincidence the truth shoe

37:46

sizes and ring sizes have no connection my mom's a six and a half in shoes her

37:55

ring is seven well that's close right it's close it's close

38:02

maybe maybe there's some truth too how how offended would you be if I got a would you be more offended if I got you

38:09

a bigger ring than your your actual size or a smaller ring than your actual size oh man now if you got me a ring I

38:16

wouldn't be offended it didn't matter what size it was here's a size 11 because

38:24

I really like that it goes on two fingers dude yeah yeah right it's the new style

38:31

okay so engagement ring and the oh there you go the wedding band together

38:37

so there's no there's no correlation between that uh okay

38:43

but it makes for a good joke so we won't we won't burn you on that one but no but you know what's funny like every time I

38:49

point at someone they always say that like hey what did you did you know they're like no and then I'll ask the

38:54

girl what's your shoe size and she'll say seven and then what's the ring size seven so every time I point someone out

39:00

it's [ __ ] a tour it is yeah maybe there is maybe there there is I think

39:05

it's one of those where it's more of a coincidence than than the next thing yeah

39:12

but hey I'm rolling with it yeah so so you would say like 50 truth 50 fabricated maybe more yeah yeah no all

39:20

the stories the stories no the stories will be just in general more um

39:26

80 and 20 80 20. yeah 80 20. because all the stories are like from true events

39:33

but you still have to make them funny bro yeah you know what I mean so I I used to do this joke about going to uh

39:41

to my first funeral in Mexico in Mexico man you have to carry the

39:47

casket from church all the way to their house so they could say their last goodbyes

39:52

from the house to the cemetery bro in the middle of the [ __ ] Street that's rough yeah with no [ __ ]

39:59

stopping bro you just gotta [ __ ] carry a dog and no one told me you had to [ __ ] do that

40:06

yeah no one [ __ ] told me [ __ ] dude and then I talk about that and then um

40:15

um I say how that's how when someone dies in Mexico they never let you know who it is they just say hey your cousin died

40:22

because if they tell you who what cousin died you're gonna be like who Jose the fat one [ __ ]

40:28

you know so that part I had to make that that part [ __ ] funnier yeah but the

40:34

other part was [ __ ] true man oh yeah of course you're carrying the casket from [ __ ] from church to his house to the cemetery bro yeah I wonder where

40:41

that tradition came from it's it's it's a tradition from like smaller cities in

40:46

in Mexico like little Ranchito yeah but it's everybody like everybody know I don't know uh you've heard of that right

40:52

yeah yeah I've heard of it yeah and while my dad's from Sinaloa Ranch yeah

40:57

my family's from Sonora so it's the next state over yeah Nick stayed over but they do that in uh Louisiana too oh wow

41:04

41:16

41:28

uh funerals

41:34

yeah dude oh so while he's being being carried in the

41:41

carriage but if you're over 300 pounds you have to order a carriage yeah I think that's a

41:47

rule oh it has to be like like 16 cousins there we go

41:53

200 and down is on like five cousins so they'll start from the point

41:59

um from I think they're they're home too and then they go all through the street and then people come out of their houses

42:05

even if you don't know them like just to honor someone and then you walk them all the way to the burial well the last time

42:11

I was in New Orleans I saw a wedding like that yeah yeah that they carry the bread and groom but they were like the

42:17

44:26

like I was in an enclosed area and I was able to enjoy 100 better and it was

that generation so if you tell you like like like I mean I'm I'm I'm never gonna tell my mom that I eat ass but if I

47:01

49:52

that's crazy real there has to be a historian of of um of sexual terms we have to ask Javier

50:00

Amber yeah he might know he he has to know is Xavier like the king of

50:05

Indianapolis [Laughter]

50:13

50:19

he's a historian oh okay yeah that that yeah or he's uh we just learned this

50:24

today he's a archivist archivist oh [ __ ] but I'm pretty sure there's the archives

50:30

50:37

besides uh but so where was the bidet again that you in Europe in Europe yeah

50:43

how was the Europe trip dude Europe was so [ __ ] Europe was dope dude we went to uh

50:49

we went to Spain we went to Greece we went to Belgium

50:54

we went to Oslo Sweden damn all those places yeah and I

51:01

think there was two more oh Amsterdam as well and I'm missing somewhere bro but the

51:07

good thing about Europe everything's close by oh okay yeah so we take a flight and it was like a one hour fly and we'll be on the other side of um

51:13

Europe dude did you do shows out there you just went out just to hang out we did uh with the with the 12 shows and 14

51:22

days damn yeah yeah so we worked a lot bro but I'm

51:28

telling you the good thing is is that that flight was like only like a one the longest flight was probably like an hour and a half damn that's how close

51:35

everything was was to each other do you ever get like any hecklers in the crowd like people no saying [ __ ] no no

51:42

is that a la thing that's that's the norm of a United States thing yeah yeah and over there there in Europe they it's

51:49

it's weird how they they champ bro they start chanting and then they start stomping dude yeah dang so you're on

51:57

stage it's like a rugby game over there oh yeah you can hear that like the clapping and then and then the [ __ ]

52:02

stomping and this crazy dude it's crazy it gives you like oh [ __ ] I feel like a little rock star

52:08

yeah so but they're they don't hack or nothing like that because also too I feel like if if uh if you're paying a lot of money

52:16

why would you want a Heckle dude yeah you know I think I I feel like that the heckling comes like when you do like bar

52:22

shows or or little open mics probably but if a lot of people are paying like [ __ ] shitload of money dude you

52:29

shouldn't Heckle yeah why why would they want to ruin yeah ruin the show for everybody especially for themselves

52:36

what was the worst Heckler that you've come into contact with

52:46

so uncomfortable and she's like I wanted to cry wow and I was like I can't kind

56:16

of comes with the territory right I mean of going to a comedy club is that what you're saying yeah I mean

56:23

I mean she's all like because of the territory [Laughter]

56:31

wow maybe at the time after you told me that like I kind of

56:36

got turned off of from going because you even had an experience like that too

56:42

right experience one time too hey but Ugly Betty the American one wasn't that bad looking wasn't she

56:48

but still yeah I I had something like that happen to me we met a comedian I

56:53

don't think he does comet anymore um and we met him and we're like oh hey what's up you met him like on the street

57:00

yeah before the show okay okay okay so before the show and we're like oh cool you know we're big fans everything

57:07

and then when he went up on stage he

57:12

made a joke and I knew it was like completely towards me like it was the

57:18

way that he set it up and that he said the joke and everything and I just remember like feeling super flushed and

57:24

my friends just looked at me like oh [ __ ] you know but I mean what was I gonna do you know what I mean like I

57:32

just laughed run up there and punch him dude yeah no I mean I I understand you know it's

57:38

part of sometimes they're you know you're gonna set or whatever it is and I just I just sat there and I was like all

57:44

right I'm gonna take it wow but where were you guys at at a club or yeah we no

57:51

we were at um the gas lamp right there in Long Beach oh okay yeah it was like it was just like a little a little show

57:57

but it was packed and after I remember I was like oh I was so embarrassed did you talk to him after no [ __ ] no and then

58:04

like years later years years later he tried a message me on Instagram like hey what's up how are you to apologize oh I

58:12

like to try to like [ __ ] flirt with me and then I was like do you remember me and he was like oh I don't know he

58:18

was a reborn again Christian yeah he he he got all spirituals no he did he did

58:23

he got all scared yeah he did and then after I told him I was like and then I told him I was like you [ __ ] made me

58:29

feel like [ __ ] and he was like I'm so sorry he probably had like a long list of

58:36

people that he was trying to talk to and apologize to maybe you think so you're

58:42

on there first maybe because he did he went like on a spiritual journey after that I was seeing his stuff he wasn't a

58:47

comedian anymore so I don't know wow oh

58:59

we have to say no names curly hair long hair yeah

59:05

okay well at that time I think he had curly long hair and then he cut it okay

59:10

you know what I'm talking about maybe he was he was kind of chubby for a while

59:15

and he's not no more lost a bunch of weight yeah yeah yeah you know who I'm talking about I think so

59:21

I think so when you say spiritual I I kind of yeah

59:26

what okay um hold on hold on hold on so you know his first and last name

59:33

oh [ __ ] I'm trying to think of it on top of my head but maybe if you tell me

59:38

initials yes okay so okay what what name comes with uh does his first name pop up

59:43

or the or the SEC or does this is that I can't even I think his first name ends with the r

59:51

are yeah and that's all I'm gonna say because then after that the people are gonna guess no yeah I think you're right

59:58

yeah you're right you're right yeah because I don't think it does comment anymore right I don't think so

1:00:04

either no oh yeah yeah that that that's who it is

1:00:09

um now you know yeah yeah that was easy that was easy yeah I'm good at these

1:00:16

games what other ones what

1:00:21

that's funny yeah that is funny is there a lot of uh Comics that like started

1:00:41

when you did that are not doing a comedy now bro there's a lot yeah yeah it's a it's a um

1:00:47

dude it's it's hard bro it's hard to be a comedian dude and it's hard to make it and I just feel like a lot of people get

1:00:52

discouraged and they just quit dude yeah but there's a lot of them do that that stop doing it how long did you do it

1:01:00

before you were like okay I'm gonna I'm gonna keep doing this well dude I'll just when I started in 2003 I didn't get

1:01:09

1:01:14

2010 like people were paying me like like I mean pay like get money money people paid me like hey here's here's 25

1:01:21

bro for that show or here's fifty dollars that the most ever got was like maybe like 200 that was the most and it

1:01:28

wasn't even like every time I went up on stage so from 2003 2010 I wasn't even making

1:01:34

[ __ ] bro I was still living in with my mom I was I was living in I was sleeping in a

1:01:39

couch and um that's what helped me out a lot was uh for not from not quitting it was

1:01:51

I'll be like working at agencies and here and there just now just to make it and just give my mom extra money as well

1:01:57

1:02:02

yeah yeah how do you feel about uh Comics coming out from different states

1:02:08

to do comedy over here do you feel like it's overcrowding the the scene Or Nah

1:02:15

because that's that's since day one has been like that it's been like that yeah it's nothing new no it's not it's nothing to you bro but I feel like you

1:02:21

see it less now because everybody's going um like I've like like I told earlier I feel like you don't need you

1:02:28

don't need to come out yeah so now people are blowing up on social media at their house you know yeah and wherever

1:02:34

they live at their house at their house in the restaurant

1:02:40

they're blowing it up literally bro are you on are you on Tick Tock I'm on Tick

1:02:45

Tock my Tick Tock game's kind of weak right now but um everything that I have my my friend he's um he's filming me

1:02:53

1:03:11

Clips everything it's a lot of work dude it's a lot of work clipping man it is and I mean when he told me how much it

1:03:18

was gonna be I'm like [ __ ] bro but I mean you have to bet on yourself bro you

1:03:24

know what I mean if you if you don't if you don't want to bet on yourself why should someone else bid on you bro yeah you know what I mean you have to

1:03:31

take that [ __ ] race it's like oh I don't want to waste like it's just I'm just throwing any number out there let's just I don't want to waste five thousand

1:03:38

dollars I don't want to just [ __ ] just on me and paying somebody then if you think like that why would Netflix

1:03:44

want to waste money on you then if you don't [ __ ] care about yourself if you're not sure about your material why

1:03:50

would someone else take that risk you know you have to take that [ __ ] step forward bro

1:03:56

you got to get out of that comfort zone bro and just do something different and I feel like a lot of people they

1:04:03

stick to the same [ __ ] over and over and over and and when you say uh stick to the same [ __ ] what do you mean like I

1:04:10

feel like a lot of people don't want to do like uh like put reels out on their social media oh okay and I feel like

1:04:16

that that's the Next Generation but you have to start doing [ __ ] too man you know yeah you don't you never want to

1:04:21

get left behind okay so when I started comedy it was

1:04:27

like there was no social media because I um there's no YouTube but Myspace probably

1:04:32

came out like in 2004 or 2005. so it was still kind of like new bro but

1:04:39

now the people now have it like [ __ ] they could just blow up with any clip bro they could put any clip and and

1:04:44

that's the name of the game bro no go viral you know go viral there's no right or wrong way to do comedy bro now now if

1:04:53

whoever if you're making people laugh bro that's good dude that's [ __ ] good

1:04:58

that's [ __ ] awesome man and that's only gonna open the doors for everybody else dude yeah because back then you

1:05:05

didn't have that [ __ ] man back then it was just like I remember you had to turn in your tape so let's just say I wanted

1:05:11

to get booked at a club in El Paso I had to record my set on a VHS fool

1:05:18

yeah it's not crazy that's how old that [ __ ] sounds bro and then send the

1:05:23

[ __ ] tape dog damn all that dude oh [ __ ] that man

1:05:28

and now you can just send them your handle and and that's me that I started

1:05:33

kind of like in the early 2000s imagine the fools that started in the 90s and 80s 70s how crazy that [ __ ] is bro yeah

1:05:43

yeah dude damn that's some crazy [ __ ] Bro April you got to to live the evolution

1:05:51

of like to see the internet and everything coming to fruition you know yeah yeah you can survive you survived

1:05:58

when it was the tape era and you know you're surviving now I'm still Generation X but I feel like

1:06:05

um I'm a little bit Generation X and then uh and uh and uh what's the next

1:06:10

one Millennials yeah so I caught both of it dude and uh I feel like the other Generation X that were too old to catch

1:06:18

like the millennial Vibe because when I started comedy a couple of years later that's when the social media was started

1:06:24

uh popping out like Myspace and [ __ ] so how how is it um so you you said that

1:06:30

your fiance does comedy too yeah she does comedy how's that it's good dude

1:06:35

it's good it's uh it's it's it's uh it's kind of hard

1:06:41

for a girl or a guy let's just say like let's just say if you're if you're a

1:06:47

comic and you're you're your girlfriend is not a comic it's kind of hard for her

1:06:52

to stay on the same page as you yeah because like there's times where I do shows and the key is bro networking

1:07:01

networking is key bro you have to network to get [ __ ] as well if you're

1:07:07

funny or funny but also networking is cute and my my uh I was engaged before my my

1:07:13

fiance now I've been engaged twice so my first fiance she didn't get that bro

1:07:18

she'll be like oh but why do you do that after or why just do your your scent and go home and now it doesn't work that way

1:07:25

you know it's like a job so a job is eight hours so I'm not I'm not saying I'm gonna stay out for eight hours but

1:07:31

I'm gonna do the show hang out after and if the comics want to go eat I'm gonna

1:07:36

go eat with them you know and then come home it's not like we're gonna go out and [ __ ] to to a club or to a strip

1:07:44

bar or yeah [ __ ] dude we just you just want to hang out and just like Network bro and then never she never got it bro

1:07:52

she never got it uh she'll be like oh I don't understand so that's when problems start happening oh so so my fiance know

1:07:59

I mean she knows oh she gets it she gets it bro she gets to do and it's kind of hard to put it that way but I mean she

1:08:05

gets a dude well that's important it's part of the it's part of the territory doing what you do yeah yeah she gets to

1:08:11

do she gets it and and you want to be with someone that gets it bro yeah you know what I mean whatever whatever you

1:08:17

do whatever [ __ ] why Iberian bro if you're a significant other gets it bro that's always a it's always a win dude

1:08:24

yeah it's always a win dog and I remember Jesus and she met me already when I was uh I

1:08:30

was already a comedian it's not like we were together and I started being a comedian you know yeah so she really she

1:08:36

already knew it was a comic she made a [ __ ] comedy show you know so and then after all that it's just all of a sudden

1:08:42

it started bugging her you know yeah there's nothing new no no no there was

1:08:48

nothing [ __ ] you bro how how important is it to you to help out

1:08:54

younger Comics is it important it's important bro because I feel like a lot of older Comics help me out so I feel

1:09:01

like return the favor bro yeah you return the favor and um like why not why wouldn't you want to

1:09:07

like [ __ ] give advice or or yeah whatever you do you know

1:09:13

what do you think uh about the whole uh what's happening in the comic scene right now with uh George Lopez and Rob

1:09:20

Barbosa I feel like I mean uh Ralph Ralph is a good friend of mine

1:09:26

Ralph is a funny dude I feel like everybody who everybody knows who Ralph is dude you know everybody and why

1:09:33

wouldn't you want to help someone out if you can like I get it if you can't help but I mean

1:09:38

help people out dude I feel like that's that's the key dude and there was times where where like um

1:09:45

and it's never too late to help people out you know it's never too late man it's never too late to help people out

1:09:51

and if you have something going on and if you can't help people out then that's

1:09:57

that's good to be able to yeah you can do yeah yeah because there's times when you you're not able to and people think

1:10:02

you can yeah you know but if you can it's cool man like like when I do my shows and it's my shows and not working

1:10:09

1:21:30

temporary okay it was for three months so when I was in the academy they told

1:21:36

me hey you can't when you're when you're out when you have a a temporary string

1:21:41

around you it's kind of like a domestic violence so you can't carry your gun so they're like hey so when we go to the

1:21:48

shooting range we can Mark you absent but it's gonna add up and it's too many

1:21:54

hours you can't miss too many hours so that's why we're gonna have to dequeue you I'm like I got it bro you know yeah I didn't [ __ ] bend the roof for me so

1:22:00

I remember all that happened and when I showed up to court she didn't show up dude yeah she didn't show up so it was

1:22:07

dropped and fast forward like a couple of months like maybe anywhere from half a year to

1:22:13

a year she'll leave me [ __ ] messages bro yeah she'll be like like oh

1:22:21

if if it wasn't for me you would have been a cop that type of [ __ ] dude what yeah oh whatever yeah yeah no she didn't

1:22:28

feel bad she was being a [ __ ] yeah yeah yeah yeah so she was she was leaving me

1:22:33

messages like that dude damn so she knew what she was doing yeah and I'm not gonna say I I didn't do that I did do

1:22:40

that and I mean I but also too she was being uh leaving me

1:22:48

those messages as well yeah she did your favorite as well yeah now if I think about it like that yeah maybe yeah you

1:22:55

know there's a positive to everything there's a positive story to somebody stalking somebody okay if anybody

1:23:02

something good there's something good that comes out of anything okay there's

1:23:07

a positive story to everything yeah I do so that's that's what even if it's domestic violence that's fine

1:23:14

I don't know about that we'll find something out of there

1:23:19

yeah so um Tony Robbins like I do birthday parties too

1:23:25

so that's what happened that's my my uh my Police Academy story bro do you do

1:23:31

you go back and watch like your specials or like no I can't stand it man

1:23:36

it's like one and done it's one really yeah what about podcasts do you go back and listen to podcasts I'll do podcasts

1:23:43

more than videos okay yeah yeah I just I and to me like I sound weird

1:23:48

yeah I start pit pointing pit pointing everything like oh I should have done this or I should have done that you know

1:23:54

I couldn't I could have said this better than that so I'm like nah so when you do your sets

1:24:00

and you film do you you don't go back and maybe once one just check it out

1:24:05

just to check it out and yeah after that can't do that really no it's kind of

1:24:10

like like a lot of people don't want to listen to like to their voicemails oh yeah because they don't want to hear

1:24:16

their voice okay I kind of like it's like the same thing yeah yeah yeah yeah I'll listen to my sets like on my um but

1:24:24

not watch them no not watching what yeah yeah that's wild to me yeah I

1:24:30

I can't watch it either no no how how often you can like listening to

1:24:35

my voice on here how often do you go back and and watch your videos then I don't you don't only when you're

1:24:41

watching them well what videos you guys talking about

1:24:49

if you're subscribed you have subscribed to our uh yeah

1:24:54

that's funny yeah I do no I can't bro and there's a lot of comics that can

1:24:59

yeah but I I can't it's sadistic you have to be some type of mental

1:25:05

disruption in your brain to go back and and do that I mean I when I first

1:25:11

started doing this I I hated it but I kind of just it just I outgrew oh I grew

1:25:17

it uh to to as a learning curve because I mean you couldn't hear your voice uh

1:25:24

yeah I it just it was just like a Nails on a chalkboard too oh [ __ ] yeah but now

1:25:29

that I do like like when I go back and I have to do it for like cutting clips and stuff like it's just it I don't know

1:25:37

just uh you got used to it I got used to it yeah yeah and especially like if I you know if I

1:25:44

mess up on like a like an interview question or I think I go back to it more

1:25:50

just to to for practice and to see like if did my question come across you know

1:25:56

did it come across basically right right right yeah as to learn I saw you had uh Martin Rizzo yeah yeah

1:26:03

marvelous is a good dude bro yeah he's cool yeah he's right he spent his birthday with us oh yeah he did yeah in

1:26:09

1:26:39

it's a lot of work dude I'm just saying like for one 30 second clip or one two minute

over bro you know what I mean yeah and it's and it's and it just takes one it takes one

1:26:58

1:30:29

the best clip I have out thing and the rest is [ __ ] you like vegan food I was vegetarian for 10 years

1:30:36

dude really yeah yeah wow I just started eating me meat

1:30:41

in 2002. who else what other comic was a vegan um Felipe Esparza too right I think he

1:30:48

still is is he yeah didn't Amber didn't you take computers from one time I did

1:30:54

yeah one of his shows yeah it was uh I was um vegetarian for um 10 years dog

1:31:02

from 10 years I'm sorry 2012 to 2022. why did you change to um I was over 300

1:31:09

pounds and I was it back problems as a vegan no no when I stopped oh okay and then I lost 100 pounds and I don't have

1:31:16

any more back problems bro and the reason why I stopped being a vegetarian was I was getting a bunch of

1:31:22

like little bald spots in the back of my head because I wasn't I wasn't consuming a lot of protein oh protein yeah yes

1:31:29

[ __ ] so I just went to um eating chicken so I went I started in

1:31:35

chicken little by little and then I said [ __ ] it I'm just gonna go back yeah yeah

1:31:40

everything bro so right now you're cutting us out of that chicken everything bro

1:31:47

[Laughter] but there's something vegan food that's good bro yeah yeah there's a lot of

1:31:53

vegan spots there that's good yeah there's a v I think they're a pop-up they're called a Santa vegan [ __ ]

1:31:59

dope dude they do some good um vegan asada nachos that are bomb there's two

1:32:05

spots that I really like there's one in Pomona it's called umitas oh yeah yeah it's

1:32:12

like down the street that place is really good and then there's there's uh well there's three then there's one in

1:32:17

Whittier it's called uh um veggie tacos no no no uh

1:32:24

I

1:32:31

have the Masa Tacos yeah so those three places man what's the one in um is it

1:32:36

Cerritos or a Downy the the one that was right there on Daniel Avenue by Donas guacamaya dude

1:32:44

you gotta try them dude I always wanted to go to that spot um awesome awesome food so during the pandemic that's when

1:32:50

I found out about that spot but they were up in like weird hours and I never went dude when they were still in Downey

1:32:57

they were in Downey oh okay yeah now they're in Cerritos right no they're still in Downey they just moved up the

1:33:02

street to buy the theater yeah that's Downy oh it is okay my bad yeah when when uh

1:33:09

during the pandemic like I mean I had like I was looking up a bunch of spots and that's the one that popped up but

1:33:14

but during the pandemic they have weird hours and I never went back and then I started eating meat so I said [ __ ] that

1:33:20

please [Laughter] I'd rather have the real thing now yeah yeah

1:33:25

a lot of people like that I heard it's [ __ ] real good yeah walking mine is good I mean the the cool area it looks

1:33:30

pretty cool inside now they they serve beer and everything I feel like people still think that that uh that um if it

1:33:38

was not good you know yeah but man if it looks good dude it's good we we I get

1:33:43

that a lot like at our family's coffee shop we offer a lot of vegan options and

1:33:49

then I'll be like they'll be like oh what is this I'm like oh it's a vegan you know let's say one of the pastries a vegan Concha and then they're like oh no

1:33:57

no no I want all the fat and all the real stuff and I'm like you haven't even [ __ ] tried it yeah

1:34:04

but I guess it's it's a we tailor a lot to Latino culture so it's it's still

1:34:10

very much so you know when I first ate my first vegan Taco de asada

1:34:16

to me I'm like man this tastes exactly like I saw yeah you know and then the pastor and all that place

1:34:22

yeah I think it's just the way that uh um a restaurant or a chef Cooks yeah and

1:34:30

then the the because they're seitan there's tofu there's

1:34:37

um uh there's Jackfruit Jackfruit yeah yeah Jacka right that's how you say it in

1:34:43

yeah there we go yeah so it's funny now because a lot of people still think that I don't eat meat and they send me a

1:34:50

bunch of [ __ ] but I'm like dude I eat the real [ __ ] now you know stop sending me this [ __ ] I hate the real thing no

1:34:57

this is the PSA yeah start inviting him to the carne asada

1:35:03

now but I'm down if if there's other spots bro like I'm down like that spot that you're walking my ass I'm down to

1:35:10

go there yeah just just to try it man because that's just good dude vegan I'm

1:35:15

down with vegan food man do you um but they're hardcore vegans that talk [ __ ] too bro yeah you know yeah yeah because

1:35:22

I remember Masa taco and Whittier and their menu was um

1:35:28

regular meat and then they had the vegan food they used to talk [ __ ] to the owner like hey are you gonna sell real [ __ ] in

1:35:35

that non-vegan stuff yeah and then it's too it's the the way they prepare it some some hardcore vegans are like I'm

1:35:42

not gonna eat food that's prepared in the same kitchen as uh as chicken or as

1:35:48

as a soda or I'm not gonna eat seitan grilled on the same flat top as a carne

1:35:54

asada so I mean it's just the way that it's uh it's prepared

1:36:01

but it's good dude it's muscle talk was it's not there anymore I think they relocated too yeah yeah it's it's a it's

1:36:08

a it's a Pupusa spot now oh vegan pupusa no it's a regular pupusa yeah

1:36:14

proposals are good too man those are delicious so Alfred do you think that you would

1:36:20

you say now that you made it no no what's what's making it for you to me

1:36:27

like what where when do you think you're ever gonna get to that point where you're like [ __ ] I made it

1:36:34

or do you think you ever will I think I will I think to me

1:36:40

when you say you made it I feel like it means different to everybody subjective yeah

1:36:46

subjective yeah answer to that but to me I feel like for me to say I made it will

1:36:53

be when I'm on the road headlining by myself got it

1:37:00

and I feel like that Day's coming yeah and then I could say hey man you know I made it

1:37:05

do you have a like a time frame for that or is it just less

1:37:10

than five years yeah I I that's my time for a minute longer it takes longer but I want it to be but people could always

1:37:17

say hey bro you you performed at um Dodger Stadium you did Madison Square

1:37:22

Garden you did the Sydney Opera House you already made it yeah but I feel like

1:37:27

when you start thinking like that you kind of like my God then I don't want to work that hard or or you start settling yeah yeah

1:37:37

because in our eyes you you made it but oh man I'm far from that yeah to me I'm

1:37:43
