They would always see jeff garcia there, rudy morello, they would always see all these comics coming up there. And it kind of came full circle, because last year I did a show with jeff garcia and it's like they were they're they're fans of comedy, so they were watching. Jeff garcia went in the formative years and then, now that he's a legend in the game, I'm able to do his shows and then I know I'm on a like. I have his number, dude, I'll call him if I need anything and he answers it's fucking sick dude it's really dope actually full circle man full circle dude dang.

Of course, the classics. You know Eddie Murphy, fucking Raw and everything. But where I fell in love with it was George Lopez. Why you Crying? Oh yeah, it is. It was on loop at our house all the time. Oh yeah, and we were the party house, so like when people would come over, it would be on there. What the fuck do you just say we're gonna watch it again after this, don't worry about it.

Speaker 2:

And then it was just constantly repeating was that before or after he did the latin kings of comedy? Do you know? That has to be before yeah it has to be before.

Speaker 6:

I think so it might not have been. I don't know. Did you ever watch gay locos growing up? No, oh dude, gay locos was on. Uh, it was probably on cali, I don't know what the fuck, uh, but it was late night. They had people like joey diaz, gabriel iglesias, fucking. They had people on there that were just killers, and it was on late at night, like 11 30, and I would stay up just to watch that and, fuck man, some of the best shit, some of the best shit, and it was on a.

Speaker 1:

It was on like regular, like a Spanish TV.

Speaker 6:

I'm pretty sure it was.

Speaker 1:

Yeah right.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, gay Locos. Yeah that shit was sick. Man. That's the old school, at least I could say LA type shit Like that's where, because it's very I talk to people and they know about it, but some people like you know, you don't know about it, yeah, but um, yeah, dude, that shit was fire was uh, is this the same show that alfred robles was talking about?

Speaker 2:

was alfred robles on this that show that? Show was or or he probably watched it too I think he said he watched, he watched it huh yeah, because I think he was too young to be on it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh, so it was like that back in the day.

Speaker 6:

Oh, dude, it was back in the day bro.

Speaker 1:

It was like what? Like late 90s, early 2000s.

Speaker 2:

I would say mid to late. Yeah, mid to late 90s.

Speaker 6:

It was when lopez had a sick ass mullet dude. Yeah, you see that. Yeah, he's watched k locos and uh, dessert circus with jacque pippin dessert circus yeah, dude, look that one up. Dessert circus was fire dude. Jacque pippin, he's a fucking killer, ass chef really dessert chef. Oh, he was a dessert chef. Yeah, yeah, this is just like shit I watched when I was little. It was either cooking or comedy, which?

Speaker 6:

oh yeah which is all I do is eat and tell jokes now, so there's a timeline of where the fuck I live, where my life came from hell yeah, dude, when did you first start doing stand-up? So I tried in 2012. But, um, but like dude, always making people laugh, always, always cracking jokes and shit, and started podcasting with my buddies and shit and I was kind of like the funny guy they would bring shit up. Yeah, dude, that's my motherfucking G right there, jacques Torres, jacques, okay. That shit was fun.

Speaker 6:

Anyways always just making people laugh. So I'm like you know what? Fuck it. I'll just give it a shot in 2012. I had jokes. Some of the jokes I tell now were jokes I wrote back then and I just didn't have stage presence. I hated hearing my voice, all this other shit, but also I felt like I didn't have any fucking right being on stage at 21. I didn't feel like I had to be on life or anything. But all these years passed, dude, I've had a kid, I've been to jail twice, like lived like through some shit. So I think I can I have like a clear scope where I can just talk about shit that I've experienced and it's relatable to people so in 2012, that was the first time you hit a stage open mic, but well like um yeah yeah, because I've I've always wanted to be on stage in some form or another yeah

Speaker 6:

like. And then, um, podcasting was really big for me and then I had my own podcast where I'd go out and interview people, oh nice, which was fucking dope like. I ended up really liking interviewing people because, um, whether it's you know what they want to talk about, what they don't want to talk about, the experiences and bringing shit up like just in a regular conversation. I always like digging and finding out what, what are you really like, you know? And, uh, I was interviewing people at, like, kickboxing events oh, it's dumb like comic-con and stuff.

Speaker 6:

I went to a doll con. That shit was dope. I interviewed a amputee britney who had uh yeah, she had people I haven't even heard.

Speaker 2:

I haven't heard of her name since for a long, for a long time already, dude yeah, yeah, so you know who she is. I've seen pictures of her. Oh shit, pull it back. Oh my god, come on yeah, do it.

Speaker 6:

Well, you didn't even really know what hentai was. Pull it up, so you're not too vanilla. No, no, pull it up. Yeah, I told her like what's the craziest thing? Like you did. She's like well, someone paid me like 300 bucks to stomp a cake with my nub. I'm like dude, like I can get off on anything, but I can't even get off on that. On the cake, I can get off on the cake Cream filled Amputee Brittany.

Speaker 2:

If this is the yeah, that's right. I've seen her in some top 10.

Speaker 6:

Amputee Brittany dude.

Speaker 2:

Some weird top 10 video. Oh my God, you see that. Don't put it on the screen because we're gonna get kicked out of the live, okay. So you were able to interview her at adult con. Oh, she was great really. So how long ago was this? Oh, pre-covid? Oh, yeah, yeah, that's awesome dude.

Speaker 6:

So you were like mobile doing interviews, like yeah on site, yeah that's awesome dude, it's, it was cool man, but like that shit's so blown up and saturated, oversaturated, on tiktok now, or?

Speaker 2:

right now.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, yeah, it's like I would love to do that, trust me, I would love to do.

Speaker 2:

On the street interviews. But shit's whack yeah, yeah, it's a lot of oversaturation. Even from some of the comics that I heard that it's like oversaturated too, like just even just in general, I think because of the way the temperature of social media is now. It's so easy to there's, it's more accessible, right? Anybody can hop on their phone.

Speaker 2:

That's the worst part about it and create a, uh, be a content creator, yeah, but I there, there's a certain piece of you that like I. I feel like, yeah, anybody can do it, but it takes a certain person to keep consistent at it. That's true, right there is there is.

Speaker 6:

Discipline is the biggest yeah, one of the biggest things. But you can be not doing anything and still be disciplined, like there's people that just re-upload shit. The reaction content is the fucking worst. I hate that shit. Reaction content is like so dog shit.

Speaker 2:

Like what? Which one's a which one is that Like?

Speaker 6:

where they'll just be playing the video and the video.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 6:

But they're just like the whole time Like it's like bitch they're getting money off of it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's the worst. Even the clips of like Rogan and all those huge podcasts, like they just clip what they say and repost. There's not even any reaction to it. It's just they're clipping somebody else's content and making money off of it.

Speaker 6:

Facebook content is the worst. Facebook content is the worst. Facebook content is the fucking devil it is. It's it's long form, it's edging content. That's what it is. They just like they. You see something like oh, like this guy. He's he fills up an air mattress until it pops, but he's like filling it up and he has scissors in his hand. He acts like he's gonna pop it. It's, you're just edging oh, it's like just pop the fucking thing but then you're stuck there for 15 minutes, like why am?

Speaker 2:

I here. That's right, just like those videos with there's like interviews happening on the top and then on the bottom it's like some race car going through something. It's it's kids, it's kids man that is wild.

Speaker 6:

Their retardation has infected the because people, I don't know man yeah, like I, if you ethan from h3 said if you ever have to question anything on the internet, just realize that it's kids. Yeah, yeah that makes sense. It makes total sense, like npc streams. What are those, dude? How much time do you spend on the internet? Man, a lot.

Speaker 2:

You don't know about NPC streams. No.

Speaker 6:

NPC streams is the stupidest shit ever.

Speaker 2:

Is it really?

Speaker 6:

Yeah, Fuck, I forgot her name. God damn it she does. They just sit there and you know what an NPC is.

Speaker 1:

It's a non-playable character there and they, you know what an npc is.

Speaker 6:

It's not playable character. Yeah, so when you're walking in gta and someone's like hey man, like yeah, what'd it do? And then you punch him, he's like, oh man, like that's, that's an npc, he's not playable character, he's just there to fucking take up space. There's people that do npc streams on tiktok and and when you send them emojis, they just react to the emojis.

Speaker 1:

Yeah the ones that are like oh, that's her, her right there, her right there this one right here.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, she's the fucking worst, but she's franking and dough but they're making a shit ton of money.

Speaker 1:

Oh man, I can't but at what cost?

Speaker 6:

right there, just drag the piece, drag the piece this one yeah okay, dude, I'm fucked. I'm. My brain has been poisoned by the internet. I'm a victim. I should be entitled to compensation here in the next 10 years. Uh, continue as a guest that's probably gonna happen then.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I know you have. You look, did you use tiktok? You know, six hours or more a day you must be entitled to in compensation I just see no joke.

Speaker 6:

they're saying if you played sonic, the hedgehog could be entitled to compensation. No fucking joke, dude, I'm not fucking with you Like from Sega Genesis. Yeah, they said, if you played any of these versions of Sonic and I was like what kind of? Shit, it's like Trisha Paytas to get involved. Trisha Paytas is the worst. God damn it, dude. I hate my.

Speaker 1:

I hate that they just kind of like like sit there and then they act like they're like, almost like robotic type of thing yeah, is this new?

Speaker 6:

no, it's probably about a year old I've never seen it it's stacks, I think, because I maybe my algorithm is different.

Speaker 2:

I don't. I don't see that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah I don't, I don't go on tiktok. Yeah, I'm the one that uses I don't see that.

Speaker 2:

I don't think you use TikTok. Yeah, I don't go on TikTok.

Speaker 1:

I'm the one that uses it.

Speaker 2:

I don't use TikTok. No, no, yeah, this is. I'm falling prey right now to a lot of old WWF clips.

Speaker 6:

What, do you mean falling prey? That's where I'm at.

Speaker 2:

What's up dude, I'll see you there, man.

Speaker 6:

Did you watch, uh, wrestlemania. Did I watch wrestlemania? Yeah, I will tell you that I have a job with a lot of downtime, so, yeah, I watched wrestlemania.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, got paid for it so what's the deal with cody rhodes? Is he like the new? Finish the story yeah he's alert.

Speaker 6:

If you guys did, you guys didn't watch. You guys didn't watch wrestlemania. Where the fuck have you been? Yeah, but all right. Cody Rhodes was underappreciated, underused, treated like shit in the WWE. He left and decided to do his own thing. So when he left, he made a list of everything he wanted to do Wanted to go to Japan, wanted to hit the Indies, wanted to wrestle certain people, wanted to achieve certain things. He knocked everything out of the way, built a whole new company and then split, went back to the wwe so he can finally win the, the universal title, at wrestlemania. And there was a lot of shit that came into play. The rock showed up, he tore his pack earlier and he finally got a chance to finish his story. And he did this.

Speaker 2:

Dude, I'm telling you long-term storytelling, cinematic brilliance so that was the big buzz around it, that was everything around it. Him finishing it, I seen that the undertaker came back chokeslammed uh the rock yeah, but like.

Speaker 6:

so what it came down to was rock showed up and he's like fuck your, your story, what about Roman's story? And everyone's like yeah, what about it? Like, why are we talking about Cody? Yeah.

Speaker 6:

But it built up all this thing, all this this anticipation showed up, and then the Rock and the Bloodline tried everything they do to make sure he didn't finish. But then legends like John Cena, like fucking the Undertaker, and Seth Rollins coming back as the architect, that they all came back to get him get in the way of that and they they took on all their help versus his help and then he ended up winning, which is cool. It's really fucking cool. I cried, not gonna lie. Wrestling is sick, dude. Wrestling is dope.

Speaker 2:

The in the new era right now it's getting better because vince mcmahon's a piece of shit and dude oh my god, a lot of shit is coming, and it was funny because I read.

Speaker 6:

I read someone said like all these allegations against vince mcmahon, we're not all. We're not at all surprised as fans we're like god, okay, makes sense.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he was doing that shit on camera for years, even with his daughter.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, it's crazy, oh my god like he was. He was hinting at shit with his daughter.

Speaker 2:

He's just a fucking weirdo overall can you see where can you look at brock lesnar allegations? Because I I feel like, oh, like I haven't looked into it in the past couple weeks, but uh, like the last time I was reading up on it it it was saying that Brock Lesnar was going to be, he had allegations against him too and the WWE was going to. So what happened?

Speaker 6:

was. I don't know what they Trafficking, that's the word. I don't know how far of a distance you have to do to traffic people. I guess it could be in the same office, but he was saying he was basically giving out these girls to people that were close to him john loranitis I forgot who else was there, but he's like yeah, me and you on tuesday, you go to john's on wednesday, then go fuck brock on the weekend. Jeez, and that was like a circuit that he was running and, like they said, a big superstar in the beginning.

Speaker 2:

It just so happened to be brock lesnar the status of the 10-time world champion in wwe was cloudy after lesnar was associated with the bombshell sexual assault and s trafficking. Federal lawsuit filed against mcmahon for former wwe employee janelle grant in january, two days ago. Oh man, dude, and he was. He's like one of my all-time favorite wrestlers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like him in the, the ruthless aggression era oh yeah, solid, I never seen him in the modern or um, or I never followed any of the stories in the modern era or uh well, he has no stories, he just shows up and smashes people. That's basically the brock smash, basically the, the, goldberg uh, yes, yeah, thing what gobert goldberg was doing in the late 90s yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6:

So you said you're stuck in attitude error right now. What do you? What are you checking out?

Speaker 2:

uh, like a few months ago I went down this like weird rabbit hole where, like I built this calendar of like uh, I started in 99, uh during the first, so I was watching uh, so I I took the calendar, I went into 1999, kind of like a time capsule and I was watching wrestling as it was coming out like in the year 1999. That's sick so I was watching On some days.

Speaker 2:

I would watch Thursday Night Smackdown and then see when the next raw was, and then just back and forth like that thursday, monday, following the story thursday, monday and then, uh, watching the um dude peacock was crazy dude with with all the stuff that they have available right now, peacock is insane man.

Speaker 2:

People sleep on peacock, but they got shit yeah, documentaries are pretty sick on there too yeah, especially if you're a wwe fan, who would have thought, dude, like being an eight, nine-year-old kid, knowing that you can watch these episodes again in your late 30s Like who. No, I didn't think about that.

Speaker 6:

Sometimes they got old commercials on there and that shit blows my mind Really. Whoa. I remember fucking this Gushers commercial.

Speaker 2:

I remember that shit Amber was watching. What were you watching? You were watching something, right, the nanny, and it had old commercials sick like old, like toy commercials too, and I was like what the heck?

Speaker 1:

hell yeah oh no, I remember what I was watching that had the toy commercials I was watching um from nickelon. It was called Cousin Skeeter. Did you ever watch that?

Speaker 6:

That sounds familiar as hell.

Speaker 1:

He was a puppet.

Speaker 6:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

So he was a puppet and then everybody else was like real life. But somebody put it on TikTok and said, do you guys remember this show? And then I was like, oh my God, I do. And then I went on YouTube and there was like full length episodes. And then the full length episodes had the commercials from that time. And I was like what the heck, I wanted that toy.

Speaker 6:

You get hit with that nostalgia bomb.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, boom.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, did you watch the Quiet on Set thing about Dan Schneider? Did I watch it?

Speaker 6:

I jerked off to it.

Speaker 2:

That's terrible.

Speaker 6:

It gets me harder than allegations. Jeez, yeah, um did you. I did All dude. Weren't they going to drop like a, like a bonus episode or something?

Speaker 2:

Are they?

Speaker 6:

really.

Speaker 4:

I think, they are.

Speaker 6:

I think they are what the hell, and I doubt they're going to get Amanda Bynes, but that's what we want. Yeah, that's what I want, but she's not even in the mental capacity to even do anything.

Speaker 2:

What happened to her? She can't even do her eyebrows, she can't even do an interview. She has like a dollar sign tattooed on her face doesn't she?

Speaker 1:

It's a heart. Oh, it's a heart. Yeah, I want my amanda bines. I think I think something did happen to her in order for her to get pushed that far like I get like a lot of them go into drugs and alcohol to cope, but I think hers was like pretty intense what drugs and what alcohol.

Speaker 1:

That's what I'm saying, that's, I know moonshine fucks you up like that and you know that drake bell moved to mexico and he like rebranded himself like he has like a whole new name in mexico he's a huge star in mexico huge like arenas selling out arenas.

Speaker 6:

What, yeah, drake bell?

Speaker 2:

like as a musician. Yeah, yeah, yeah really motherfucker in mexico yeah oh, is that why they said that he was like he did the interview from mexico city?

Speaker 1:

that makes sense that makes a lot of sense, apparently, because there was allegations of him talking to like underage kids too.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, that was during covid, but it proved that. He proved that it was like oh, it wasn't.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it wasn't okay whoa like they, because they were saying that story that.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:

So disney has so much money that it's like they don't care at what cost anything is. And I tell you this, like, even just like on the surface, like the company that my dad works for, they have contracts with disney, like the parks, like they do um, uh like construction for the parks. And he was telling us the other day, um, because I was asking him they're gonna remove some stuff, and I'm like, do you know what they're building there? And he's like, yeah, and he was telling us what they were gonna build. But anyways, he was saying that, um, that the speakers because they're speakers on light poles that one of the speakers fell and and they're not saying, if it hit, uh, like a, like a person oh, right, maybe um, yeah, so they're not saying that.

Speaker 1:

Um, but then literally it happened. And then hours later my dad gets a call and they're like hey, your crew has to work overnight. Uh, we need to remove them all. So it happened and then like six hours later the crew's like at disney and they literally my dad's like yeah, we're removing every single like sound box from there so that no one can be like, oh, look at, that's the sound box that it did or do a video or a picture or anything, so they they don't care what they have to pay to do these things no, they don't know, dude, and they have the money, they have the resources.

Speaker 2:

I worked at the glendora location for about like four, three and a half four years okay and I worked in in the back in the warehouse and I remember a palette like this guy was. He had a like the stand-up forklift and and he was picking up the pallet of juice. It was juice. He didn't quite. They palleted juice back then. Yeah, it was huge, just bottles of orange spray water bottles, just very heavy.

Speaker 4:

I thought you said juice, juice.

Uh no, it was, uh, ocean spray. It was like a huge pallet of ocean spray, right, and he was picking it up. And he spray, right, and he was picking it up and he couldn't quite get. He didn't quite get it on the rafters, oh shit, and he, he was like nudging it in because it was too tall terrible idea.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's terrible it was too tall and at a certain point, like the, the machine started giving out because of the weight. Oh yeah, dude, it was so fucking scary, yeah. And then, like he hit, like the, the alarm on it and it's supposed to stop. It didn't stop and it like started like jerking, all like bad, and that whole pallet just came crashing down it was like you hurt.

Speaker 2:

No, nobody got hurt, thank god, dude. It was so scary, I ran away. Yeah, yeah, I did. I was supposed to be spotting him too and I was just like. I was like, dude, I'm, I'm out of here, like I'm leaving. It's terrible, I could have died. Dude, I ain't dying for juice. Yeah, ocean spray hell, no, dude, it was wild. It was the scariest, one of the scariest moments of my life.

Speaker 1:

Dude, that's crazy now I know what kind of person you are the other day we were driving and there was like a an accident, and then no, there was a girl that almost got ran over a guy almost got ran over a girl, oh girl she crossed and it wasn't time for her to cross, and she like crossed and then the car was like zooming by and then I was like, oh my god, and I was all freaking out.

Speaker 1:

And then he's like man, well, what do you do if like that happened, like if you saw her get hit, and I was like, well, I would pull over and go make sure that she's okay? And he's like you would. And he's like what if she's like bleeding out? And I'm like, well, then I'm gonna apply pressure, I'm gonna take off my sweater and I'm gonna do like a tourniquet and he's like you would and I'm like, yes, what are you?

Speaker 1:

and he's like no, he's like, I don't want to get blood all over myself oh my god, I I can't with the sight of blood then you can't.

Speaker 6:

You're one of those, I'm just uh it.

Speaker 2:

I don't know what about it. It's just nasty, I don't know. Do you faint? No, I wouldn't faint. I mean I've never seen somebody. Well, I have, because I've been in a morgue one time and I seen an actual autopsy going on. That was weird. But as far as the blood thing, I only seen my, my blood, really nobody else's. Yeah, yeah, my lip I have. I've had um 32 stitches right here on my lip what happened 16 inside and 16 outside. I got bit by a dog. Fuck yeah, 16 in how?

Speaker 2:

much out 16, 16 and 16, oh 16, they're tiny, yeah my lip was like huge, like it was like this big. Yeah, I was 12 years old oh shit yeah that's pretty crazy if the dog would have really like got onto my lip, he would have tore a piece of my my face off. That's crazy, man. Yeah, that's why I'm just like people are like oh why?

Speaker 4:

don't you like dogs?

Speaker 6:

this is why yeah now I cut my leg in half. I cut my leg in half. Yeah, that's how I feel you on the inside. Yeah, stitches, because I've had 30. How was it? I don't mean to compare stories no, go for it um, all right.

Speaker 6:

So the only way I can describe it is, if I have this, like my mom, all right. So we had the stage in my backyard. It was my brother's birthday. Um, the cops showed up. We were partying, we were underage, my brother just turned 18. They beat the shit out of him, took him to jail oh and we had a stage set up because we had bands performing. Now these stages, it was basically like a like a fold-up table or like a like a table in wwe oh yeah, they built them like that.

Speaker 6:

They're just pieces of plywood with um just stands on them, but they weighed like 50 pounds each. So we had two of them, me and my brother. After he got out of jail, we were breaking the stage down and he had two of them on, and my brother, after he got out of jail, we were breaking the stage down and he had two of them on a dolly and he's carrying them like this and he's he's going this way and I'm like spotting him. Like you, I actually did what you did and I ran away, but he was carrying them and then he hit a box. So where am I? Where's my camera? All right? So he was carrying him and then he hit a box and he stood I, where's my camera? All right?

Speaker 6:

So he was carrying him and then he hit a box and he stood him up like that and then me not thinking, started walking away this way and it felt like that caught the back of my leg. Ah, um, eight inches across, um, two inches open and three inches deep. Oh my god. So I look down at my leg and I see the fatty tissue and my bone.

Speaker 6:

Oh yeah, and by the time I ran from the backyard to the front porch, like as soon as I the first step I took on the front porch, I just saw all the blood just come up and cascade over my shoe Cause it was like pulled up in my shoe. And then, uh, my sister which is a lot like what amber would yeah, and she would put a tourniquet on it and my mom was freaking out oh my god, I go to the er and they're like all right, um, all right, he has a laceration on his leg.

Speaker 6:

Okay, just go to the waiting room. And then, um, I'm in the waiting room with these two old bitches and then she's like she's like what'd you do? I was like, oh, I cut my leg. And she's like, oh, I remember like, my earnest cut his leg and he got gangrene and they had an amputated. I'm sitting here like, oh, what was I? 15, yeah. And I'm like, shut the fuck up, stop talking to me. So then, uh, then my sister goes up to the, to the people at the receptionist area.

Speaker 6:

It's like, hey, this is bad, this is really bad right now yeah so they went and they they lifted up because my sister used a sheet lifted up the sheet and saw how fucking just gnarled my leg was. They're like we got to get you back right now and I'm laying, laying on my stomach on the waiting on the emergency room table and when they're assessing it they're just shooting it up with with, numbing with oh yeah, what is it? Fucking whatever lidocaine lidocaine I thought lidocaine was a topical.

Speaker 1:

Topical. Yeah, maybe you're right.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, anesthesia novacaine, I don't know one of those, it wasn't co, so that's why I'm upset. But um, they're just shooting it up with fucking whatever. And then, by the time I turned around and looked at what they were doing, I just see them get the fucking sheet of skin and just bring it up and fold it over and then start stitching it up and then stapling it down. Oh my God. But blood is cool, man, it's just what happens.

Speaker 2:

I like when you went to the emergency, they're like oh, just a laceration yeah, that's it not serious at all.

Speaker 6:

No, that was stupid. No, that was so yeah I, I besides the.

Speaker 2:

That's fucking wild. How many stitches did you get? Uh?

Speaker 6:

32 okay, inside and out and I think 15 staples.

Speaker 2:

Well, dude, yours seems like a huge cut. It's bad. Yeah, why did I say 32? Am I wrong?

Speaker 1:

No, because they were little, they were really little.

Speaker 2:

Oh Okay, ah man, that's fine, they're really little. Oh okay, ah man, I can't. I can't feel it. You can't feel anything around that area, no I'm gonna stick.

Speaker 6:

I feel like the fatty tissue, like say say, this is how it this is how it fit and then it ripped. It feels like it was put together like this, so it's like I can feel something's not right in my leg oh man, it's like misplaced or whatever. Whoa it's weird, I have a plastic kneecap too, so a plastic kneecap.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, how do?

Speaker 6:

you get a plastic one, dude. I am, I'm fucking, I've been road hard and put up dry dude.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but no um you're here, I'm here, I'm here.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, you don't have gangrene I don't have gangrene and I didn't lose my leg and I got a plastic knee.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, that was from skateboarding.

Speaker 6:

I fucking. I was 11 years old and I landed wrong and the tendon that's that's attached to your kneecap, your kneecap is embedded in a tendon, it's severed at the bottom and it popped up to my thigh. So for a year I was walking around with no kneecap. It was, kneecap is embedded in a tendon, it's severed at the bottom and it popped up to my thigh.

Speaker 6:

So for a year I was walking around with no kneecap, it was just like a cave. And then they finally just put it down, put a plastic one on top of it, put two screws in.

Speaker 2:

This is what kids need nowadays, like. I feel like there's not enough of these stories for Well. They're not taking risks anymore For kids anymore. This is what they need. They need plastic knees and 62 stitches on their face.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, but if you were to age my body, I'd be somewhere around 82.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think my lungs would be around like 82. Your lungs, I think so. Maybe you freebasing or what? Maybe 50 years old? No, I used to smoke cigarettes. Oh, cigarettes, yeah.

Speaker 6:

Like back in the day, 50 years old. No, I used to smoke cigarettes. Oh cigarettes, yeah, like back, I had to stop smoking cigarettes because I was.

Speaker 2:

I coughed up blood one time. Ah, that's the worst dude, when you start hocking up like black, like the actual tar yeah not blood, but the actual black stuff.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, just have you. Have you heard that there is a connection now with vapes and erectile dysfunction? Whoa really, and I can tell you in my experience I think it's true either that or she was just fucking ugly the vapes were popping off like 20 years ago. Dude, I feel like there's no, the vapes, they're just accessible now, yeah, it's china juice.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's because they say that vapes are like at least when you smoke a cigarette, you know how many cigarettes you're smoking. So you can be like okay, I smoked one cigarette, smoke two cigarettes right and they're saying with vapes there's not really, you're not, you don't really know the amount that you're smoking, so you can inhale like a really, really big, like I don't know what. Do you call them rips? I don't know rips yeah, I guess right and it could be like the equivalent of, like half of a drag like.

Speaker 1:

So they're just saying that that that's why, like, it's even worse to vape, because you really don't know the amount that you're like ingesting, and you can vape anywhere too.

Speaker 2:

You can vape in the restroom, you can vape in the restroom, you can vape in the kitchen. I vape at the hospital. On a podcast, I think someone was vaping at the ice house. Yeah, there was what.

Speaker 1:

Someone was vaping at the ice house, dude they were. The girl in front of me. Are you serious? Yeah, because I was like is there food steaming or is that smoke?

Speaker 6:

And then I seen that she didn't have anything like hot, like hot food, and I was like oh, I was actually holding off. I was hauling off for a long time. This is probably the longest I've gone without taking a drag.

Speaker 2:

No, it's fine. Are those flumes? Yeah, it is. Is that a flume?

Speaker 6:

yeah, those are really good um, it's, it's fucking stupid to eat this right here. This is, this is willy wonka. Basically, today, all the flavors that are coming out, all the different types of juice, people are getting addicted to it, basically.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, dude, I vape, everywhere.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 6:

Dude, I'll be vaping and then see someone at work vaping in the showroom and I yell at them hey, stop, stop doing that, but I'd be on my shit hell yeah, dude, so let's take it to your um.

Speaker 6:

You're speaking about pro wrestling yeah, um the roast tournament yes, exactly so, talking about my job at the improv, I'm a sound guy there, um, I actually went to radio broadcasting school so I was like already going towards somewhere getting a sound job, but, um, or getting a job in the field, but this kind of presented itself. My ex used to work there and and referenced me because you know it was something I was wanting to do, and then it's just taken off from there. Man, I've uh, gotten opportunities. I've taken every opportunity I can, I've made it the best and I've built some cool shit. So, like, we're talking about pro wrestling and I just wanted to bring up the roast tournament because it is basically my pro wrestling uh promotion that's awesome dude.

Speaker 2:

No, it is fucking awesome dude.

Speaker 6:

I was able to catch it, uh like a few weeks ago at the ontario yeah, you saw me lose yeah, uh, not my best, not my best performance, but you know, um, like vince mcmahon in the 90s dude, he just gets himself involved in his own shit. It's like it's, it's, it's a playground dude. It's just so fucking fun what we're doing over there. Yeah and um yeah just whatever we have another defeated champ that just vacated the belts that that was wild, I like.

Speaker 2:

What is he doing? Okay, so C's Renoso. He just retained his title for the ninth time right, he's 9-0. I think his record is 7-0 as a champ, wow dude, and at the end of it he just I'm vacating the title.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, man, it's going to create a lot of people wanting to go for it, because I'm not gonna lie, man, there's a lot of people that have declined facing seas because they don't think they can take them so he's a motherfucker. Respect to seas man, respect to seas reynoso. He's a motherfucker what?

Speaker 1:

what do you think? Because I was. I didn't go that day, but I've been like thinking about it boo since I know I'm just joking, no, no, I'm like I know. But what are like? Because, okay, so I guess explain to maybe someone that doesn't. I know it sounds self-explanatory, but like, can you kind of like sum it up to maybe someone that doesn't know what it is?

Speaker 6:

So basically, basically, the roast is you're just talking shit, you're just ripping jokes, but it's a great exercise for comics to not only like think off the top but like just go into. It's a totally different exercise of writing and you can still pull material from that. You can say a joke and it'd be so good that you can make it into a bit. So that's, that's the. The whole thing is encouragement and um. It started off as an open mic roast tournament, but then, as it started growing and people started getting uh interest, then we started booking it like a show. So at the first one anyone can sign up and we had 16 people and then it went all the way down to c's. So he's been holding the title since.

Speaker 6:

He's been holding it for over a year jesus yeah, but um, basically it's go round by round you get a minute, I get a minute, you get a minute, I get a minute. You get a last joke, I get a minute, I get a minute. You get a last joke, I get a last joke. And then we have a panel of four judges and they decide on who wins. Hell yeah, dude. But if we go to an audience decision, what I like to do then is leave it up to the audience. So you know, cheer for who you want to win, right, but how we do it over there. You got to booze, oh shit.

Speaker 2:

So it'll be like sees boo, like someone else, like you start yelling and everyone gets involved and it becomes a fucking big thing. It was amazing, dude. I honestly, when I went a couple weeks ago to the rose tournament at the ontario improv, I thought I was gonna witness rick and sandy lose their belts.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I, I thought I was gonna witness witness Rick and Sandy lose their belts. Yeah, I thought I was going to witness that that night. And Sandy's he's, he's, he's, he's my boy dude, like Rick, he's fucking great, they're both so good. They're so cool, they're cool people, they're great comics, and I thought I was going to witness them lose and I was like, oh my God, I feel bad, I don't, I didn't want to see this. It was a tough match.

Speaker 1:

It was, it was tough, wild yeah does anybody get like upset, like like when roasting, or is it just a lot of like everybody kind of understands?

Speaker 6:

um, yeah, there's someone who's banned from our club. That got upset, but really, yeah, they're not even worth talking about, so I'm not going to talk about it Ass hurt, ass hurt and walked out like a bitch. Whoa, I'll stand on business with that one, fuck them. But what I brought today was the titles. I wanted you guys to see them. Oh hell yeah, dude Whoa.

Speaker 1:

So we go everyone gets a minute, and then the judges eliminate someone. Everyone gets a minute, judges eliminate someone, and then it's down to two, and then whoever takes that wins the belt. Maddie maze is our current infinite chaos champion and she's she's killing it right now. Maddie maze is on fire wow yeah what are you doing?

Speaker 6:

Thank you Shout out to Bryce and I forgot her name.

Speaker 2:

So somebody asked me if there's like a company out there that makes wrestling gear, is this the company?

Speaker 6:

This is Undisputed Belts. We have another company that made our Infinite Chaos Champion that one's hands down one of the most beautiful belts I've ever seen. There you go.

Speaker 2:

There you go Right there, Dude, that's fucking dope Dude this is fucking awesome man.

Speaker 6:

I'm like a kid in a candy store right now dude yeah, no, this is, this is what we'd be doing out here bro, that's fucking dope.

Speaker 2:

So how did this whole thing start?

Speaker 6:

so, all right. So I, I show up to my my job, like start working there. Uh, my boss is like we're bullshitting all day. And then, um, it was right out of COVID they didn't have the open mic anymore. So the open mic was an hour pre COVID and then they I'm just saying what people have told me is brought to like 12, 20 people to the open mic. But COVID happened and then they brought it back after COVID and now they gave me an hour and a half.

Speaker 6:

So what I was doing, they, they, they said, adrian, do you, would you like to do the host the open mic? And I was like, yeah, because I told them that I had previous experience trying to do it, but then wasn't ready yet. So I was like, would you like to give it a shot? I'm like la um, I haven't been to san diego yet, but just in this general area area, going through different um counties, and then they extended it 30 minutes. Um, our highest ticket count was, I think, 165 for an open mic and that is crazy. Like now, now we got signed up so much that we can't even get to all of them.

Speaker 6:

So, wow, that blew up and then with that I shoehorned this roast battle idea that I've been having for a while and, yeah, I, they got behind it and it was now we had. It was extended to two hours, so we had an hour of open mic, an hour for the roast, and then recently, about six months ago, they, they cut it in half. They said, all right, you can have your roast show and then the open mic row show, open mic and just alternating every month. Wow, and I want to get it to the point where we have roast first or open mic and just alternating every month. Wow, dude, and I want to get it to the point where we have roast first or open mic first week of the month, roast last week of the month on a monthly basis.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, nice, because tuesdays are off nights.

Speaker 6:

We're never open tuesdays, right, but since the open mic really took off and then the roast followed it, they're like they're gonna do more off nights now coming up. So if there's position there, I'd be fucking more than happy to take it yeah, is there any chance of uh doing a weekly open mic?

Speaker 2:

um, do you see in the near future?

Speaker 6:

I'm telling them all the time we're actually gonna. There's new locations opening up, so oh really yeah, yeah, um, dude're going to open one up in Mexico City. What?

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's cool. Right An improv in Mexico City.

Speaker 6:

That's a big one Really, and other places too, but I don't know how much I'm at liberty to tell you about that, no of course, of course, you can tell me off camera. Yeah, yeah, no, definitely.

Speaker 2:

Dang, that's wild dude. It's a lot of fun. Man, it's ontario where. Where's the because? There's not much. There's not many comedy clubs in the inland empire.

Speaker 6:

Dude, you have covina. Laugh, factory covina, that's pretty new um, fairly new actually.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, within like two years or something like that they don't see nearly as much. It's a beautiful venue I've seen pictures of it.

Speaker 6:

I haven't been there, but it looks nice luckily enough, I was able to perform there with kevin millard. Shout out, kevin millard nice that's my boy. Yeah, and um, bombed didn't do good at all, but you know I'm coming from ontario, man, that's you know what. Say what you want about demographics. That shit's real. Um, totally different demographic out there. That didn't really. Then covina, then ontario.

Speaker 6:

Covina and ontario are completely different demographics but, you know, as a comedian you should be able to make the world laugh, so I've beaten myself up multiple times since then but yeah, how do you handle? Something like that, like that you just take it, you just take it it and then feel like a bitch for two weeks and then go out and prove yourself wrong.

Speaker 4:

Two weeks. Two weeks is too long.

Speaker 6:

No, I'm telling you Well when, like me, I have mental problems. I'm actually two days off medication right now.

Speaker 2:

Nice.

Speaker 6:

You know it's good. You know it's good to mess with your chemical makeup.

Speaker 2:

Ow.

Speaker 6:

Women change their makeup every day. Why not have a little fun?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, change a little bit of the brain structure. I like it. I like it. Oh, it's fine, you'll be fine, I'm good, I'm good. Thank you, rose. Tournament, damn dude, it is fucking cool. I'm glad you had a good time, man. Yeah, it was really fun. I liked it, seeing a lot of faces in the crowd that I see at open mics and stuff dude. I wish I would have came out sooner, you know, but it was a good night to come out because, I was able to see you, yeah, yeah, um.

Speaker 2:

Sees vacating the title.

Speaker 6:

Sandy almost losing, rick almost losing they um, the judges was pretty off that night. Really, the judges were off because I I believe that sandy and they didn't have a clean sweep. They lost, they lost a round for sure really shoddy and um cory. They were really fucking good. They're really good, but they clean sweeped them.

Speaker 6:

I didn't think that but you know, yeah, towards the end, that's when rick and sandy, yeah, picked it up yeah, yeah yeah, but that's the full fun about it, man, yeah, and it was kind of weird for me because I was competing and I didn't. I wasn't the ref, like richard via was the ref, and it just made me feel weird because I'm usually right there in the shit but like I have to sit back.

Speaker 2:

Was that you over the pa?

Speaker 6:

uh no, that's bryce okay I have a bryce is working with me, helping me do this thing.

Speaker 2:

Oh nice, yeah, okay, he's great, I thought that was you over the PA making the announcements. No, oh, that sounds cool.

Speaker 6:

No, the thing with Bryce is he has a little bit of autism, so he's able to focus on areas that I can't yeah. I have ADHD. He has autism.

Speaker 2:

We work perfectly together, nice. I need a person with autism.

Speaker 6:

You need to sink your disabilities as a collective.

Speaker 2:

It really works out. Ocd what can I use for my OCD?

Speaker 6:

Nothing. That's a terrible disease.

Speaker 2:

Do I have OCD?

Speaker 1:

I have something, I think you have to a certain extent.

Speaker 6:

OCD.

Speaker 1:

A little bit.

Speaker 6:

Do you need to be in creative control of everything?

Speaker 2:

No, actually not Okay.

Speaker 1:

Do I yeah?

Speaker 2:

I do.

Speaker 1:

I guess it depends on what.

Speaker 2:

Some liberties.

Speaker 1:

But no, yeah, you do.

Speaker 2:

Some liberties right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sure.

Speaker 2:

I think I get to a certain point where, like there's a lot going on and I'm just like, all right, I'll let this go mentally. And if I let it go mentally, then if it goes either good or bad, it's fine.

Speaker 1:

But for the most part he wants to do everything because he feels like no one can do it the way that he has it in his brain. I get that.

Speaker 2:

I'm a very planned person. I plan everything Except for our interview. Usually I go by a booking system. With you I didn't. Yeah, yeah, which made me a little bit on edge.

Speaker 6:

Oh really.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it did, don't worry about it, man. Because I go by, me and Amber have a lot of things going on, like with the podcast, the business, other people's podcasts that we're producing now oh, shit, really yeah the shows that we do on a weekly basis, monthly we we have a lot of moving parts. That's awesome dude. So our calendar is just we have to have everything in it, so that way I can, so can I disrupt anything coming in here. No, you're good, Okay, cool.

Speaker 1:

No, we usually record on Tuesdays either way.

Speaker 6:

So it's always recording. Yeah, that's why it worked out so perfect.

Speaker 2:

No, you're fine, it was just the uh. Like amber was asking like, oh, what time is the show gonna be tonight? Like who is this guy like? Because we have a booking system, calendly yeah that uh has all that information. Okay, like we have a podcast, another podcast this thursday, okay, and it has all that information in it. Just gets us ready for.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, play it no-transcript.

Speaker 4:

Welcome to On Deck with Danny Nixon. I am here at the Ontario Improv with Adrian Luna. He is the sound tech and also host of the Open Mic and Roast Tournament here in Ontario.

Speaker 6:

First Tuesday of every month they alternate between Open Mic and Roast Tournament. So like just look at the calendar, you'll see Open Mic, Roast Tournament Open.

Speaker 4:

Mic, seriously one of the best mics in all of Southern California. You got like your dream job, dude.

Speaker 6:

It literally is my dream job. Yeah, that's pretty awesome.

Speaker 4:

Who are some of the? When you think about some of your favorite comedians that have come through, who would you put on that list?

Speaker 6:

You know what? I've had a lot like my top five Mount Rushmore of like favorite comics. But since working here, the comics that I've met, that I've worked with, like one of my, ian Bagg, is insane. I never heard about him, but watching this guy do his thing it's amazing. Every show's different.

Speaker 3:

Some of the ladies are upset. I was told it tasted like peaches. Oh yeah, Peaches had a batter in it.

Speaker 4:

Corey.

Speaker 6:

Holcomb. I've known him from his acting. I've known him from like Wild N' Out and stuff, but seeing him, he's my top to come and watch.

Speaker 3:

Now, if you got a lot of money, you can get some of the finest women in the world.

Speaker 2:

The way your woman look represents your income.

Speaker 6:

I see this recession that hit a couple of y'all upside the head Brought a lot of people out here. Hey, there's Jay. This is the allure of the back dock.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, we are where all the comedians come after the show.

Speaker 6:

Yes.

Speaker 4:

To maybe partake in some illegal substance. You said there was a curse.

Speaker 1:

There's an Ontario.

Speaker 4:

Improv curse Did we just. Am I cursed?

Speaker 6:

So there is a curse at the Ontario Improv that pretty much only all the employees know about Headlighting acts will come here and then die. So for instance, Ralphie May, one of his last performances here.

Speaker 4:

John Witherspoon his last performance here.

Speaker 6:

Dick Gregory. His last performance here shut up recently. Bob Saget, he played here and then died like a week later. So there is some sort of like Ontario improv headliner curse.

Speaker 4:

Is it the building you think itself is building this curse?

Speaker 6:

yeah, yeah, there's always a ghost stories here I don't know, necessarily ghost stories. It's just bad. It's just bad.

Speaker 4:

And it's funny because every time I've been here I've had amazing shows. Yeah. But I'm not a headliner, so that's what I'm like.

Speaker 6:

You know, we're yeah, that's, that's the, that's the improv curse that's kind of know about.

Speaker 1:

I tonight. I don't know if I was rethinking everything.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, dude, it's a great mic. It's one of my favorites, for sure. You're doing something right, man. I'm thankful for you to come on our first show and try it out. We'll see how it works, yeah. Yeah, this may be awful, uh, but I appreciate you coming out and doing this for us and send us a mic for all the yeah.

Speaker 6:

If it doesn't work out, let me know I'll do it again for sure. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2:

Appreciate you, man, appreciate you, thank you danny's such a super cool guy dude great segment dude yeah, it's awesome, yeah, uh um, that, uh, I'm gonna tell you my bob saget story.

Speaker 6:

I'm gonna tell you my bob saget story and I'm gonna tell you all right. So michael ian black was just there and one of his uh openers was wearing a bob saget like tribute t-shirt and uh it was. They were reminiscing about bob saget and I was like I actually have a story. Uh, miss pat was there the day before bob saget and her merch guy left to vegas because they had a show in vegas and didn't take their merch. So he was out there. Um, she tried to call an uber to take her merch all the way out to vegas. Oh, but the uber said, no, and I'm just standing there, I just got it.

Speaker 6:

I used to have a job, a job for car max. I was delivering cars. So like if someone buys a car in um in san diego, but the car is in lax, I would drive out to lax, pick up that car, deliver it to san bernardine or to deliver it to san diego, and then come back and then deliver another car. So I was already used to driving like long hours of the day. So I just told her hey, I'll take it. And then, yeah, we settled a price on it and then, yeah, I loaded up my car with her merch, delivered it to Vegas turnaround, came back probably got. I think it was like two hours of sleep and then I worked.

Speaker 6:

Bob Saget show holy shit and and he was, he has. He was playing guitar and stuff and I found one of his picks on the stage. So, as I was cleaning up and we're wrapping up, I went to the green room and I said hey, bob, uh, a fan uh has one of your guitar picks. And he was asked he wants to ask you if you could sign it for him. And he's like, yeah, sure, and he's signing it. And then, mid signing it, he's like, hey, is the fan you? And I was like yeah, yeah, so he's like here, signed it, gave me this guitar pick. Uh, he's like can you walk me out to my car? I was like yeah, so I walked him out to his car and we sat there and bullshitted for like five minutes what the hell dude.

Speaker 6:

He died a week later oh shoot so I tell this story to michael ian black and his openers and they're just like oh my god and then michael and black's just staring out and he's just like, can I ask you a question, serious question?

Speaker 6:

I was like, yeah, he's like what the fuck does miss pat have to do with that story? I don't know, maybe my dedication to come back and work your show, to work his show. It was fucking hilarious. But yeah, that's my bob saget stories. I got a lot of stories. Wow, just being there working as a sound guy at the improv, a lot of shit's happened bob saget man legend man.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that was sad dude uncle bob dude that was sad.

Speaker 6:

It was just like uh, like a small, like it, like accident, right like him hitting his head on the wall too, but it's so dumb people out of proportion, yeah yeah, him, who else there?

Speaker 2:

is there a conspiracy about Robin Williams? Yeah, that one was weird though. Yeah, that one was weird considering the movie that he was in just like a few months before his passing Of, like the character. Did you hear about this one? No, the character that he was playing actually asphyxiated himself in the movie, like his character, and then, like a few months later, like that happened in real life. Yeah, oh shit, sorry, yeah, crazy. Yeah, besides, bob saget what, what other crazy stories do you have? That's a that's a awesome one, dude oh thanks that's awesome.

Speaker 2:

I still have it and it's in my laptop to pick. Yeah, oh, I need to frame that shit. That is wild.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, yeah, that needs to be framed oh yeah yeah, yeah there's, it sucks because we talk about it. We're like there's a lot we can't talk about our job. That's happened here.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, yeah damn dude, I don't know dude, that is, that's wild dude yeah, but on the ocd type of things, man producing, you know, you being a producer of your own content, like me producing shows, I, when I I take my job very seriously because I don't want to fuck up someone else's show, because I wouldn't like anyone to fuck up my show, yeah, so I get that, yeah where you're coming from, yeah, but also, too, there's at a certain point, there's like at a certain point, as your your shows get bigger and and involves more hands and more brains to operate, you have there's this threshold where you, you have to like be able to uh not negotiate, like negotiate uh certain delegate.

Speaker 4:

Yeah that's the word delegate certain tasks.

Speaker 2:

You can't fight every battle no no, and trying to be uh like control of everything is also that. That's a stressor too.

Speaker 6:

Sometimes you just gotta let it go and let the wheels yeah, like dude, I had my show recently, on the 28th, and then the roast on the 2nd, so I only had five days in between me producing and performing a show. To me producing and performing a roast, which is this was the first time, second time I've ever done a roast, I'm not used to this shit. So I was, of course, in my mind about the whole thing and ended up losing, but you know it was. It was a great. It was a great time.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was a great time well you, you did an awesome show, dude. Thanks man. Yeah, considering it at uh, at like a prominent venue like the ontario improv, that's pretty dope too, because there's there's I've been to different uh shows to where it's not a comedy club and it. It's just different.

Speaker 6:

The whole vibe is just different when it's at a comedy comedy club versus at a restaurant yeah like a restaurant show versus a comedy club show dude, if you give me a room, I'm gonna make that shit my own, that's what I do with, that's what I do with the roaster and this we do with my shows.

Speaker 6:

Like I just had my show and it was fucking amazing because, um, I, just I, I want this energy. I want to kind of bring this. You know, we're here to fuck around, we're here to have a good time, we're here to just laugh and throw all that shit out the window, because this is where we have our time, our time to play right. And that showed really good in my last show man, everyone was there. I brought shang, which is a fucking killer comic, like shit talker and everything, and my shit's kind of off the rails. So, like it's, I love to foster this sort of energy on my shows. Hell yeah, so just take it. If you get an opportunity, take it and make it your own yeah that's.

Speaker 6:

That's one thing I tell people to do yeah, 100.

Speaker 2:

Did you first start at, like what was one of the first shows that you've produced, like on your own?

Speaker 6:

I used to help. I used to help produce backyard shows with my friends, okay, bands and shit okay and other stuff, and like our podcast one of the podcasts I had we like try to integrate challenges to it, like a hot wing challenge or something, or just like just make it different. Make it different. And yeah, it's one of the hardest things to do because see what, especially with the, with the, with the roast, it's this is pro wrestling, this is comedy, pro wrestling, like you know. So with with C roast, it's this is pro wrestling this is comedy pro wrestling like you know.

Speaker 6:

So with with sees, when he first won the belt, he's like hey, I see where you guys are going with this. I see what you guys are doing and I like it, like you know. And then more and more people are like oh yeah, it's, it's tongue in cheek, it's stupid, whatever you want to call it, but it's just come out it's not stupid. Well, you know we're wrestling fans. It's real to me, it's still real to me?

Speaker 2:

damn it, it's real to me. So this is. I guess this is the part where I ask you to just vacate it to me, right? This is where I ask him if I could just have the belt. It's like a triple H moment, remember when? Just have the belt. It's like the Triple H moment. Remember when he gets the big old belt and Vince McMahon just gives him the belt and everybody gets pissed. Yeah, no.

Speaker 6:

C's made this a fucking prestigious thing.

Speaker 2:

That is fucking wild. Nine times, nine times. I'm trying to get c's on the on the podcast get them on, dude, he'll do it.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, I know me and sandy were talking, yeah, but you might have to take a break of fucking sandy in the butt, but he'll be able to come down here and do it him and him and rick too.

Speaker 2:

Rick's a cool guy I I met him a couple times.

Speaker 6:

I finally got able to, was able to do rick's podcast. It's just never worked out. But uh, we had a. We went to fourth mill after the roast battle and we had to. Fucking, we got drunk.

Speaker 2:

I seen that dude, well, I have. I seen the, the notification of the episode, but I haven't watched it yet. Check it out. Static hour Hell yeah, he invited me out that night to go do it with him, but what were we doing? Oh, you were at the campsite. Amber was camping and I had to come pick her up.

Was he really the guy in?

Speaker 6:

the hitchhiker. Watch the documentary on him. The guy in the red.

Speaker 1:

He was a murderer, yeah, oh, and he's over here giving an interview, like he was.

Speaker 6:

Look it up. Yeah, he like killed somebody and then was on the run and then helped out that woman that was being attacked and then they was like, wanted to follow him, and then they found out he was fucking.

Speaker 1:

He had some dirt on oh shoot the hitchhiker in plain sight oh yeah, all right, I'm gonna watch it yeah, yeah, give it, give it a watch.

Speaker 6:

Man, dude sick. But um, wow, you know what's crazy to me? And this, this is so stupid. This is like on the lower end of AI, but if you were to like take someone's voice like, all right, so Slinky, or even Arlie Ermey, the army man in Toy Story they're going to make a new Toy Story Is it morally okay to use his voice, ai voice to play that person Like? Can't you sue? Someone or for that like oh well, that's what.

Speaker 1:

That's what some of the um the you know how, when hollywood was on strike and the actors were on strike it was because they were um. Hollywood wants to put out pretty much like for them to sign away their rights to their body and their voice, so that way you can, like you know, do one thing and then they won't need you anymore and they'll put your body and face in everything else, and then you pretty much are selling.

Speaker 6:

They basically deep faked Paul Walker in the last yeah, not in the last one, but in Fast and Furious.

Speaker 2:

Look, I think if the compensation was was was like that was okay and okay with both parties, then I think it's fine, Like being compensated every time your face is on screen or played in streaming platforms. If the compensation is fine, then it's okay. But we know it's the entertainment industry and that shit won't happen. This has been happening for years in the music industry, Right.

Speaker 6:

Basically yeah.

Speaker 2:

YouTube is not paying artists. Spotify is a huge one because they're the last. In the last 10 years their company has grown freaking significantly with podcasts, with music, with albums. The list goes on and on. But I think if the compensation is fine, then yeah, go ahead, do it. But the compensation is not there. So these people are making pennies, fractions, with thousands of plays on their music and it that's that sucks. I think if the compensation was corrected by the music industry and film and TV, it would be fine.

Speaker 6:

But it's not because they wouldn't be greedy, that's gonna be like a thing in written contracts now, like you can't use my voice after I die, or if you do, you have to pay my family. Oh yeah, like residual, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1:

They're doing scams too. So scammers are now. So they're saying let me backtrack. So they're saying that like if you get like a scam call or a call where no one's answering and you know how you're like hello, hello, hello. You're not supposed to engage, so it should be like one, like hey or something, and then if they don't answer, you hang up gil I'm the worst at that, dude.

Speaker 6:

I talk I talk straight up, like what the fuck you calling me for? Like what are you doing? Yeah, they're just.

Speaker 1:

They're just data logging, so they're yeah, they're getting your voice and then using it. Let's say like they hack into something or they know you're. Whoever, you are right. And then, um, so there's been hacks where people's mom or like sibling or someone in their family, calls the phone and they're like, hey, uh, gail you know, there's an emergency.

Speaker 1:

Um, I'm on the side of the road, I need you to, you know, send me some money. Or hey, I'm in the hospital, blah, blah, blah. So they're saying like every time it kind of sucks that you have to do this, but every time time that you do that to hang up and then call that person back. So if it was your mom or your sister, hang up and then call them right back. Wow, because there's been cases where they hang up and then they call and then mom's like, hey, what's up? And he's like, were you on the side of the road?

Speaker 6:

And they're like, no, and they're like, like you just called me and they're like I know someone that happened to. Yeah, really, yeah, yeah, and they sent money and yeah, twice, twice, because they thought it was their cousin, like it literally sounded like him oh my god yeah, so don't answer don't engage with them don't engage you just it's so hard not to though okay, but I'm not gonna answer.

Speaker 1:

If you call it, you're on the side of the road.

Speaker 2:

I'll be like fuck you but it's really me on the side of the road I know your ai call me some, help me out here that's crazy as fuck, dude, oh man but that's gonna be the the the challenge dude, figuring out like what's what's artificially um created versus reality, and they're really blurring the line.

Speaker 6:

Now, yeah, before you could be able to tell, you were able to tell right, like this shit is fake.

Speaker 2:

Now it's like yeah, because you can have like like profiles on on, uh, on instagram. That can be totally fake. Yeah, facebook, like you can create a whole other identity and it not be real. Amber, weren't you just talking about like a, an influencer that came out as uh not real, like it wasn't a real person?

Speaker 1:

no, she was doing art oh, she was doing art she was doing art and people are mad because a lot of her art, her art is beautiful, but I, I I guess I don't know if you would call it her art- but, she's like listed under like an artist and then like they're giving her an award right now for like a multidisciplinary art and people are pissed because they're like it's not real, you're not like but then people are saying, well, she does use her imagination, she types in certain things, she tweaks it, she makes it so.

Speaker 1:

When it's like, so it's so. They're saying that it's kind of like the equivalent of like. What is it called? Like Photoshop or things like that, like when you don't really are drawing anything but you're piecing things together. So I don't know.

Speaker 6:

I forgot. I think Stavro said that. You know, before we used to use machines to make work easier. Now the machines are making art and we have to work harder. Fucking blew my mind yeah, I agree yeah, what do you think about?

Speaker 2:

do you think that there there would be like what's your, what's your thoughts on if there was a comic that used AI to write jokes?

Speaker 6:

So check it out. There's this podcast called Dootsie. It's with Chad Colchin and Will Sasso. You remember Will Sasso? From. Mtv. They made so the podcast. The concept of Dootsie is they host the show and AI creates the show, so the AI will give them prompts and they just riff on it. Well, what they did was they said hey, we want AI to make a Tom Brady stand-up special. So the AI made a one-hour long stand-up special.

Speaker 6:

And it is just joke after joke no time for pauses. It's just like, hey, this is weird, right? What about this? The other day I was walking my dog and it's just like no breaks.

Speaker 6:

And they put it out and they sued them. No breaks, wow. And they put it out and they sued them. They gave them a cease and desist to stop Because they had it behind. It was on their payroll, their paywall, patreon, and they had. The funny thing is One of the comments was that Tom Brady's lawyers had to listen to this and they had to have been fucking dying Because it actually is Not going to lie. Pretty fucking funny. It is really funny, but it's his voice just an hour long.

Speaker 1:

Wow, and they got sued for that, so it was.

Speaker 6:

It's possible, I dude. I wouldn't be surprised if there's open micers or stand-up comics right now doing that, really just having them write prompts, put in a prompt, have them write it and then just go over there and do it I wonder, would you be able to tell?

Speaker 2:

say you didn't know about the this tom brady special and you heard it. Would you know that it was ai?

Speaker 6:

generated.

Speaker 1:

If they, if they paused it, if they had break, applause breaks and everything and then played it properly, probably wouldn't be able to tell it sounds so fucking good really yeah, yeah I even think, like if somebody gets like a prompt or tells like AI, hey, write me a 10-minute skit or whatever you want to put it like someone's going to rehearse it enough that they humanize it to themselves. There's no way like that you can really. That's like reading something off the internet and you reading it. So yeah, I bet there's people doing it.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, but the thing about stand-up is, man, it's. You have to be genuine. Everything's real, everything has to be real. Yeah, you could be telling jokes you wrote, but it just shows off your sense of humor, because you could write stupid sillies all day. Yeah, but it's you. You're the one thinking of it up, so you can smell when someone's bullshitting up there yeah yeah, like I, I work at the club every day.

Speaker 6:

I see, I see everyone come and go and I see who's like dude, this guy's a genuine funny guy and this guy's probably has someone writing for him oh anything and there's comics not gonna name that have their entire set written out and very strict on hecklers because they will throw them off of their script and they won't be able to do it Big names, big names, big name Wow.

Speaker 1:

Well, there was a show that I watched on HBO I can't think of it right now, but I watched it during the pandemic and the lady was like a big time comedian, like on the road and everything, and she had a writer and the girl pretty pretty much wrote the ladies every single joke, and then the premise of the show was the girl finding out that she was actually the funny one, and then she goes out into stand-up and stuff like that.

Speaker 6:

Is that the Marvelous Miss Maisel?

Speaker 1:

No, not that one. Okay, no, it was another one.

Speaker 6:

I heard that show was great. I never watched it.

Speaker 1:

It's really good. What season are we?

Speaker 2:

at by the way, we got to go back and watch the rest of it, though I don't remember what show. Marvelous Miss Maisel, is it good? It's really good? I haven't seen it. Yeah, another good show about stand-up is Crashing. I haven't seen that one yet. Oh, my God, dude, I'm in what we're at? Episode six, seven. It's so fucking good, it's already lanes in there.

Speaker 6:

Yeah, I'll give it a try, or how many seasons is it? Three, I heard yeah I'll catch up all right, amber even likes it too, are you a fan of stand-up?

Speaker 1:

um, I mean yeah, I guess. No, I mean no, I mean not, not like avid or anybody that I can like name, but I enjoy laughing and going to comedy club. That's cool.

Speaker 2:

Amber took me to my first comedy show. Really, yeah, I've always loved comedy, comedy movies. Most of my favorite actors were comics. I just never put two and two together, yeah, and I rarely went to clubs, but Amber took me to my first club to see an open mic because I was. I was pretty interested and I've been talking about it for a while and she took me in. That was pretty fun.

Speaker 4:

I.

Speaker 2:

I witnessed what. We went to open mics, um, for about a year. Well, I went to open mics for about a year, just observing, just attending, yeah, yeah, and before I even went on stage, which?

Speaker 2:

helped really what was the first time. The first time was kind of an accident, because I went to an open mic in Pasadena and my friend was having an open mic and he was like, hey, it was more music-based because he was a musician, there was no comedians there. I was the only one that practiced stand-up and he told me he was like my person that's supposed to be closing out. The show is not here yet. Can you go up there and and do something? And I'm like I really didn't. I had, I had material, uh and and my phone, but I just never practice it. Of course, it was my first time going up. I was up there for how long amber?

Speaker 1:

I don't remember like 15 minutes.

Speaker 2:

Geez, first time, first time, first time I was doing some crowd work. I did some other jokes that I've written I don't even use anymore. It was that type of thing, balls on you bro, it was fun dude, it was really fun. I was fucking with the crowd. It was around the time when that uh submarine like imploded. I was talking about that. Um, really, no punches. All set up, no punches. But I was having fun, dude, I was just up there uh laughs.

Speaker 6:

I was getting laughs. Yeah, there you go, man. It was fun. I I heard rogan like the first few years of his thing he was. He mentioned something like it's and granted, he's a villain, but he said it's it's got to be hard to bomb because people are going there to laugh yeah all you need to do is make them laugh, right?

Speaker 6:

they want to, so say something funny, mean it, yeah, and it's like, and like. The philosophy I love is my favorite stand-up comic, patrice o'neill, and uh, his philosophy on stand-up is that you have to have half of the room half the room laughing and the other half horrified. And I took that shit to heart because that's how I've always been and it's like I'm gonna say some wild shit, so let's have fun oh, oh yeah, dude Adrian, this was fun man. Thanks man.
