11:02
SPEAKER_01: These guys are smart, you know what I'm saying?

11:21
SPEAKER_03: But you you start to see the world through the comedy lens, right?
11:26
SPEAKER_01: Right.
11:26
SPEAKER_03: Everything that that that's why sometimes it's not good for your your your relationship if if if if no because you literally can't go through any experience without saying what's funny about that.
11:39
SPEAKER_03: Where's the funny at?
11:40
SPEAKER_00: Don't get hobby to a funeral.
11:42
SPEAKER_03: No, seriously, I I just had a I just had an aunt that passed away.
11:48
SPEAKER_03: And I I was at her funeral and and mid-funeral, uh I was writing a bit about what was what was transpiring.
11:58
SPEAKER_00: And it's probably very relatable.
12:00
SPEAKER_02: I've done the same thing.
12:01
SPEAKER_02: I sat there and be like, man, what's my funeral gonna be like?
12:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I was like, I don't want it to be normal.
12:06
SPEAKER_03: I want it to be normal, but this one this one wasn't normal.
12:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the right, right.
12:10
SPEAKER_01: So so you figure out how that's so then you okay, you do that, then you figure out how it you figure out how it's relatable to people, right?
12:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then every audience is different, yeah.
12:18
SPEAKER_01: Right.
12:18
SPEAKER_01: So if you go through where's the humanity in this, yeah, yeah, exactly.
12:22
SPEAKER_01: I remember in the in one podcast you were talking about like the like in New York, like just try trying to things, yeah, concrete jungle where dreams are main.
12:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
12:32
SPEAKER_01: So you gotta be all over her.
12:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, what are the differences between like where y'all been?
12:36
SPEAKER_00: Like that how do you change, how do you flip it, or well, I guess I'll I'll give you my version of the answer to the concrete jungle.
12:43
SPEAKER_01: That was uh what was that something earlier?
12:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but but uh that the Hoktua girl, she was like saying it, or she was saying, yeah, she was saying it like in a but she said something else, right?
12:53
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, damn over your bite.
12:57
SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Hoktua.
12:59
SPEAKER_04: You know, what did she say?
13:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about.
13:01
SPEAKER_00: I can't remember what phrase, but it was one of those like eso sonrivo, go so nike, so nike something wet drink tomato.
13:11
SPEAKER_02: That's what she was saying.
13:12
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and then we knock on her again.
13:19
SPEAKER_03: Oh no shit.
13:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so you're doing a lot of podcasting, bro.
13:22
SPEAKER_01: Do you feel like you're I mean, how come how come you're doing that?
13:24
SPEAKER_01: I mean, just to I mean, I know you want to promote the show, you're here, or whatever, whatever.
13:28
SPEAKER_01: Is it yeah?
13:29
SPEAKER_00: It's a lot of reason.
13:31
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you know, it's fun, it's cool, you make connections.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: Um, and it it's cool because we're creating content together, we're collaborating, right?
13:40
SPEAKER_00: But we're not necessarily having to like map out a show and plan out a bunch of shit.
13:44
SPEAKER_00: We could like I I think I think a cool thing about podcasts is that people can really get to know you when you're having a conversation.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: They can read between the lines, see if you're authentic, see if you're transparent and somewhat relatable.
13:57
SPEAKER_02: And did you see a jump once you started the podcast or started doing it like consistently?
14:01
SPEAKER_00: No, I just lost about 7,000 followers in the last 24 hours.
14:05
SPEAKER_00: Seriously, yeah.
14:06
SPEAKER_05: Because I know you because I posted a fake Photoshop picture of me and Bradley and I'm out here promoting for free.
14:18
SPEAKER_02: I ain't getting it.
14:20
SPEAKER_02: But the first time it happened, you lost, I think, more than that, right?
14:22
SPEAKER_00: I didn't really count, but it was a lot.
14:27
SPEAKER_01: What you call it?
14:29
SPEAKER_00: Controversy.
14:29
SPEAKER_01: Because people were in the well, I saw that post you made, like I think it was today, it was on your story.
14:33
SPEAKER_00: Like, uh, yeah, they all canceled me.
14:35
SPEAKER_01: Hey, back then they didn't want me, but now it's accept, it's normalized.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I had a I got a cousin, man.
14:41

SPEAKER_01: Hey, so so I think you were talking about like social media, right?
15:29
SPEAKER_01: And like how it impacts like comedy or comics and stuff like that.
15:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, I don't know what what exactly you're like so okay, so comics didn't have didn't have social media, but now we have to think I think it's because everybody has a platform now, right?
15:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
15:43
SPEAKER_02: And if your platform's good and people want to listen to it, they'll they'll tune in.
15:47
SPEAKER_02: And that's that's why like you see people popping from smaller cities that back in the day there was no they didn't have a voice or a platform.
15:55
SPEAKER_02: And now you can get on YouTube, you can get on Instagram Live, you can get on you can start your own podcast through your phone.
16:00
SPEAKER_02: And I mean if it's good, if it's good content.
16:02
SPEAKER_01: So can a comedian be a comedian without like them going on stage and just have you know what I mean?
16:08
SPEAKER_01: And just have a following through social media?
16:10
SPEAKER_02: At the end of the day, what's your definition?
16:12
SPEAKER_02: What's your definition of comedian?
16:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, then there's people that only do reels or shorts, and those man, those dudes sell out clubs now.
16:23
SPEAKER_02: It's freaking crazy.
16:24
SPEAKER_01: That's crazy, bro.
16:25
SPEAKER_03: So that's why you hear a lot of a lot of stand-ups now.
16:29
SPEAKER_03: We use that that term, oh, he's a stand-up or a comic.
16:33
SPEAKER_03: Oh, as opposed to coming because comedian can mean uh can mean a lot of things.
16:36
SPEAKER_03: You're you're you're a uh comedian on social media, you're a humorist, you're you're a comedic actor, you know, those are all comedians, right?
16:44
SPEAKER_03: But to the the stand the stand-up part of it to be a quote unquote comic is that's a specific uh lane in it.
16:50
SPEAKER_03: And some people are good at at at multiple types of comics.
16:54
SPEAKER_03: Some people can do uh sketch very well, and they're good stand-ups, you know.
16:59
SPEAKER_03: Uh some people can only do one.
17:02
SPEAKER_03: Like you have some stand-ups that you you wouldn't want to put them in a movie or or a TV show because they they can't act, they're just good at at writing and telling their yeah, yeah, their their jokes, yeah.
17:13
SPEAKER_01: I know y'all touched on the on y'all's uh podcast y'all had about what is which is with like Ralph Balboza and George Lopez and all that stuff.
17:21
SPEAKER_01: So how what y'all's thoughts on that?
17:23
SPEAKER_01: Like how like supposedly George doesn't like to have comics that are Latino or whatever on his tour or whatever.
17:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm not I'm never I mean there's hearsay.
17:34
SPEAKER_00: I've never really done it, I've never met George Lopez.
17:36
SPEAKER_01: Like well, okay.
17:37
SPEAKER_01: So how do you pro how do you approach it personally?
17:39
SPEAKER_01: Like, I mean, obviously uh hobbies on your tour, right?
17:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
17:43
SPEAKER_01: So do you don't feel like that's like I guess affecting your stand-up?
17:47
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
17:48
SPEAKER_01: Like, how do you how do you think about it?
17:50
SPEAKER_03: You're asking about like the idea that some comics don't like why we wouldn't want to supposedly what you're referring to is supposed supposedly the word the word is that he doesn't like Latinos to open for him.
18:02
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so I'm trying to understand why, right?
18:05
SPEAKER_00: I'm not a mind reader, bro.
18:07
SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, yeah, and I think we we used to have a podcast, and I I touched on on this episode.
18:13
SPEAKER_03: So when I I've been doing comedy 14 years this coming April, I've been been in it long enough where prior to the social media aspect, like you still had to come up in the traditional way by someone had to take you to open for them, and you had to do clubs and whatever, and then you showcased, and maybe you get a spot on a T five minute on a on Comedy Central or whatever, and that's how you got your career.
18:34
SPEAKER_03: Now social media is different.
18:36
SPEAKER_03: But one of the things I remember from 14 years ago is that was not that was not new.
18:42
SPEAKER_03: Like that's why you saw this explosion when that Barboza stuff happens.
18:45
SPEAKER_03: Like, that's not new for George Lopez.
18:47
SPEAKER_03: Everybody, everybody in comedy knew that, like, he does not have Latinos opening for him.
18:54
SPEAKER_03: Now, right or wrong, whatever, whatever, you know, everyone makes their choices for a certain reason.
19:00
SPEAKER_03: The fact is, you can't like the guy, don't like the guy for and for for whatever your reasons are, uh he he he was a game changer as far as Latino comedians.
19:12
SPEAKER_06: That's right.
19:12
SPEAKER_03: He he he was he was at at that at his point, he was the biggest to ever do it, right?
19:17
SPEAKER_03: Now you can go back and say, you know, without him, there wouldn't be without Paul Rodriguez, there wouldn't be a him, with without Freddie Prince, there wouldn't be a Paul Rodriguez, you know, but he was the biggest to do it.
19:26
SPEAKER_03: No one had done done it on his level.
19:27
SPEAKER_03: He was so momentous that his his influence was noticeable for about a decade after he hit everyone was trying to be George Lopez.
19:41
SPEAKER_03: I was just about to say that.
19:42
SPEAKER_03: So why would he want somebody that sounds like him, that's that's touching on this trying to hit the same notes that he's hitting to to open for him?
19:52
SPEAKER_03: You know, you don't want that.
19:54
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know, so so it was almost did he take it a bridge too far and say, like, well, I don't want any he could he have found were there Latino comics that weren't trying to sound like him?
20:05
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
20:05
SPEAKER_03: Could he have gone the extra step and found them?
20:08
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
20:09
SPEAKER_03: But he just found it easier to say, you know what, just uh give me somebody that's not Latino so that way I know they're not gonna Wow, crazy try because you do want some diversity, right?
20:19
SPEAKER_03: We don't want to that's why we work together, right?
20:21
SPEAKER_03: We you even though we're we're we're both Latino, even though we have similar backgrounds, but grew up in in the southern parts of Texas.
20:29
SPEAKER_03: I mean Houston's not exactly South Texas, but but it's south enough, right?
20:32
SPEAKER_03: Southeast, southeast right, you know, you know, uh, but we still don't hit on on the same stuff.
20:39
SPEAKER_03: You want some di that diversity, and and there is a fear.
20:42
SPEAKER_03: I've even had you know, but you know, me as far as uh being being a a a a big comedian, fat, whatever, whatever you word you want you want to be.
20:51
SPEAKER_00: You don't mean letting no fat dudes open up for me.
20:53
SPEAKER_03: Well no, I do, but I but I had but Batman Marchal or I do I do because because I uh early on I I I gave myself the monarch the original gordito.
21:03
SPEAKER_03: People say, Well, you're not the original fluffy no and I don't mean like original that I'm the first.
21:08
SPEAKER_03: I mean that I do it differently than anybody else does it.
21:13
SPEAKER_03: Right?
21:13
SPEAKER_03: Like I don't I have no concern.
21:14
SPEAKER_03: So I have uh I'll have Baba Flores or Danielle Torres or or you know whoever open up for me because I'm not worried.
21:21
SPEAKER_03: Do your fat jokes because you're not gonna do them the way that I I do them.
21:24
SPEAKER_03: And there has to be a certain confidence at some point to know that you know, you can't nobody do what I do the way I do it.
21:31
SPEAKER_03: You know, and and and maybe for whatever his insecurities were, he didn't have that confidence, you know, and saying, like, you know, yeah, let go ahead, try to try to do Latino humor, but I'm but I'm the originator, you know.
21:43
SPEAKER_03: He he he just you know, I made him just act the way he did.
21:47
SPEAKER_02: And I I I think for him doing it for so long, for years, he's talking like twenty years, that he would have somebody that wasn't it's the same flavor or the same style as him, um not opening up for him, it just became like normal for him.
21:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like he's like
22:00
SPEAKER_03: I just just think maybe he's maybe he is a little bit of a hater.
22:06
SPEAKER_02: It's at the end of the day, it's his show, right?
22:08
SPEAKER_02: So he's gonna do that.
22:10
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I honestly I don't know.
22:11
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know.
22:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, it's all speculation.
22:14
SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't like you don't look, you don't even look like that.
22:15
SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't deal with a lot of people that deal with him.
22:18
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you hear little stories of like, oh, people bump heads or but whatever, but like Jobby said, you know, shit, motherfuckers make certain decisions, that's a prerogative, you know, shit.
22:29
SPEAKER_00: But but I but but this is all stem.
22:31
SPEAKER_00: The original question was like specifically the Ralph thing, right?
22:35
SPEAKER_00: Right, I think that was kind of a misunderstanding.
22:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, yeah.
22:38
SPEAKER_00: So he might be a hater at times, but I don't really think he was hating on him that particular time.
22:44
SPEAKER_03: I think he got annoyed.
22:49
SPEAKER_03: Because he kept on mentioning his name and he got oh give it again.
22:51
SPEAKER_03: It could have been any name.
22:52
SPEAKER_01: That's a big part, yeah.
22:54
SPEAKER_03: It could have been any name that he was unfamiliar with.
22:56
SPEAKER_01: He would Ramon as far as I say, Carlos Mencia, John Luizamo.
22:59
SPEAKER_03: What about them?
23:00
SPEAKER_01: Uh he's just trying to throw him into the conversation.
23:04
SPEAKER_01: What about them?
23:05
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
23:06
SPEAKER_03: I like Ned.
23:07
SPEAKER_01: He's cool.
23:10
SPEAKER_01: Do comics try to top, like, oh, this, like, like try to find the top of a job.
23:14
SPEAKER_01: Like, I've heard that before.
23:16
SPEAKER_01: Like, if you're thinking about a topic, you try to find the top, like the best joke of that topic.
23:22
SPEAKER_01: Do y'all do that?
23:23
SPEAKER_01: Do you know what I'm saying?
23:24
SPEAKER_01: Like, like you're talking about funerals, right?
23:26
SPEAKER_01: Do you do you try to like top other not like not competition, like, oh I'm better than you, but like, no, like as a kind of bringing each other, you know what I'm saying?
23:35
SPEAKER_00: Like a quintessential dad, you know, like quintessential relationship joke.
23:41
SPEAKER_00: Not necessarily.
23:43
SPEAKER_00: Because I that's that's not how I write.
23:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't be like, ah, I need a funeral joke.
23:47
SPEAKER_03: You know what I'm saying?
23:48
SPEAKER_03: I recognize it more in other comics than than I do in my own, so so I don't think it's a conscious thing, like what you're saying, like like you said, like where when you're writing, you're like, this has to be the greatest joke of uh about mineral water ever.
24:03
SPEAKER_03: You know, but when I see another comic, I like uh I was I don't don't have her name, it was just on uh on TikTok and and she did did a joke uh uh about some about something, and I can't even remember what the joke was about, but when I saw it, I go, I go, she hit it.
24:20
SPEAKER_03: She hit she she got to the center of the Fitziep of the joke, and and and and and so now she touched it, and and that is an accomplishment to say, like, that's the joke about that, and there might be other ones like it, but no, no, no one's gonna hit hit it, uh, you know.
24:38
SPEAKER_01: I think so what so now so okay, I imagine you've been doing it for 10 years, right?
24:43
SPEAKER_01: And you for 14 years.
24:45
SPEAKER_01: So, like, can when developing your stuff, is it easier to develop as opposed to when you first started?
24:52
SPEAKER_01: Is it quicker to develop something?
24:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, definitely develop an idea, an idea.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: You you um you just understand the anatomy of it more, you know if it's gonna work before you even go up there and try it.
25:05
SPEAKER_00: You already you you can already like like deconstruct it.
25:08
SPEAKER_00: You know how you do your homework and go, yeah.
25:10
SPEAKER_00: Like once you know a little geometry and you see the angles and shit, and you got a formula, yeah.
25:14
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to always pull out the calculator or the paper.
25:16
SPEAKER_00: You already know 90, 90, 180.
25:19
SPEAKER_02: It's quick.
25:21
SPEAKER_02: I feel you get more confident with like your delivery each time you're like, okay, I know that'll work, I just gotta figure it out.
25:27
SPEAKER_00: Or I'm willing to try, I'm bold enough to try it because I'm confident in the fact that there's the main part, there's like a face or a tag, or yeah, uh a little twist and a curve.
25:38
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so and then when you so you obviously gotta go practice them, right?
25:41
SPEAKER_01: Then you listen to the audience to to continue to develop that.
26:09
SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, no, absolutely but but that's part of the experience, right?
26:14
SPEAKER_03: Like you don't you don't need that that uh uh the workshop time is much much shorter because of the the all the writing that you've done before, all the road experience that you have in front of different audiences.
26:27
SPEAKER_03: Experience as soon as you have the thought, you're like like you know, I don't when I write something like that's a bit.
26:34
SPEAKER_03: I know it's a bit.
26:35
SPEAKER_03: I know it's gonna work.
26:36
SPEAKER_03: It's just a matter of how how how am I gonna get everything that I can out of it?
26:40
SPEAKER_03: Is this gonna be a closer?
26:42
SPEAKER_03: Is this gonna be just something that I do every now and then?
26:45
SPEAKER_03: Is it you know, but even now, even when I write it, I'm like, that's gonna be a cornerstone of my set this next year.
26:53
SPEAKER_03: You know, it I I I I can tell.
26:56
SPEAKER_03: You know, um, so it's it becomes less about the practice and more of just you you do have to put it on stage at some point, right?
27:02
SPEAKER_03: Right, but that confidence comes to you don't need to maybe do it at an open mic.
27:07
SPEAKER_03: You can now, you know, we're to the point where hey, uh, you know, we'll be in the green room and I'm gonna do that on stage tonight.
27:14
SPEAKER_03: Just right out of it.
27:17
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right before.
27:18
SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna do it on stage tonight.
27:20
SPEAKER_03: I'll it'll be the first thing I say.
27:21
SPEAKER_03: And then if it doesn't go well, which it's not not gonna go well, it just might not be great.
27:27
SPEAKER_03: So tweak it.
27:28
SPEAKER_03: Tweak it and tweak it, and then you do it like especially that's why it's great when we do weekends like we did in San San Antonio.
27:33
SPEAKER_03: Oh wow seven shows.
27:35
SPEAKER_03: I can take a whole brand new bit five, seven minutes long, and by and by the end of the weekend, it it's it's tight.
27:44
SPEAKER_03: It's it's it's it's ready to to go out on a clip, it it's it's done because because uh that's all you needed to workshop it because you already know how to do it.
27:53
SPEAKER_01: Now, is it easier to do that uh with in front of some audiences?
27:57
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
27:58
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so it depends on where you're at.
28:01
SPEAKER_02: At the end of the day, if you have the funny bone, he's got the funny bone.
28:04
SPEAKER_02: It's just gonna make people laugh like crazy.
28:05
SPEAKER_02: He's got the funny bone.
28:06
SPEAKER_02: Right?
28:07
SPEAKER_02: He knows, like, okay, I'm gonna find the funny, I'm gonna it's it's it's gonna be there.
28:10
SPEAKER_01: It eventually it'll figure figuring out how to get that.
28:13
SPEAKER_02: It'll it'll it'll it'll work itself out.
28:15
SPEAKER_02: Like the good ones, the comics that are doing it, and like, okay, where's the funny?
28:19
SPEAKER_02: Let's find the funny.
28:19
SPEAKER_02: Now too.
28:20
SPEAKER_02: Let's just play with it.
28:21
SPEAKER_02: Let's let's say something out loud.
28:23
SPEAKER_01: So, okay, so is it like is it uh okay, you have you you you're you're trailing them a certain direction and then you just turn in a different direction?
28:31
SPEAKER_01: Is that how you see a joke?
28:32
SPEAKER_01: Do you know what I'm saying?
28:33
SPEAKER_01: Like, right, right.
28:36
SPEAKER_04: Hobby's like Jay Z over here.
28:39
SPEAKER_04: Hobby Bye gets in the booth.
28:40
SPEAKER_00: Hey, notice he never said into a pad, he's like, you know, when I go in there and I spit it in the booth.
28:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, dang.
28:49
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I'm not always that way.
28:52
SPEAKER_02: J Z.
28:54
SPEAKER_02: I always prefer this.
28:55
SPEAKER_02: I'm a hangover when Alan's at the at the craps table and he just sees like yeah, it's not as autistic, bro.
29:02
SPEAKER_03: Now I always prefer I always preface this because sometimes whenever I say that, I don't condone that for young comics.
29:10
SPEAKER_03: But I don't.
29:11
SPEAKER_03: I have very bad writing habits now.
29:15
SPEAKER_03: Don't do what I do.
29:16
SPEAKER_03: Don't do what I do until you're ready to do what I'm doing.
29:21
SPEAKER_02: That makes sense.
29:22
SPEAKER_02: I made that mistake and just try to go up there and be like, oh yeah, let's do this.
29:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I have to write it out, like, okay, this is what I want to talk about, and I'll write, right, right, right, right.
29:30
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, okay, this is kind of the premise.
29:31
SPEAKER_02: Let's go play around.
29:32
SPEAKER_03: This is the end result of me putting all those years pin to pad.
29:36
SPEAKER_03: Okay, yes.
29:37
SPEAKER_03: When I started, because I was when I first started, I was the guy, I would go.

SPEAKER_03: I used to work at the state school over here, and and my my uncle's restaurant was was like right there five minutes from there.
29:46
SPEAKER_03: So I would get up 45 minutes an hour early.
29:50
SPEAKER_03: You're getting the order so that I could go and I would write there for 30 minutes every day.
29:56
SPEAKER_03: Uh uh uh I think it might have been from Rick Gutierrez.
30:00
SPEAKER_03: Uh that said, you know, used to say, get the news.

33:05
SPEAKER_01: So so how do you feel?
33:07
SPEAKER_01: Because you had to start comedy basically in off of your you know, your music career or whatever, and you had to like fumble around and figure out what you were doing in front of a paid audience, right?
33:18
SPEAKER_00: What was that like?
33:19
SPEAKER_00: It's pretty nerve-wracking a little bit, but I mean, I just I just um really enjoyed uh stand-up, and even if even if like it never took off or never did anything, it would just be one of those things.
33:32
SPEAKER_00: You know how like yeah, you know how kind of like kind of like jujitsu, you know, or like if you see like Robert Rodriguez film director, but he's got a band.

33:55
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know, you get a little side project, you know.
33:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so so I knew I loved it that much.
34:00
SPEAKER_00: Like, even if it wasn't gonna turn into anything real, I just knew like it was gonna keep me sane, it was gonna be like a cool hobby, yeah, and something to like, you know, community, make friends, and and it's pretty exhilarating, right?
34:12
SPEAKER_00: Right.
34:12
SPEAKER_00: So that's awesome to do.
34:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, and then too, you mentioned like I just didn't remember, I really just didn't want a real job, bro.
34:18
SPEAKER_01: I need to figure out what I'm gonna do with this, you know what I mean.
34:21
SPEAKER_02: Was the was the transition hard?
34:22
SPEAKER_02: Like, because I mean when you the the rapper, the all the persona.
34:26
SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, I already I already was coming in with some type of brand recognition, some type of notoriety, so that was a huge advantage.
34:34
SPEAKER_00: Um the maturity I already had, the the experience I already had just from like show business to understand you cannot fumble this bag or this ball, really.
34:44
SPEAKER_00: Don't let's not talk about it like monetary, but like damn, is that serious?
34:48
SPEAKER_00: Uh what do you mean?
34:50
SPEAKER_00: Like you like you.
34:51
SPEAKER_00: No, like I'm telling myself, like yo, like I'm telling myself, like, bro, you you already been in the game for years, right?
34:57
SPEAKER_00: Like you were wise enough to understand what we're dealing with.
35:00
SPEAKER_00: Meaning, you're not gonna be out here chasing women, getting drunk, partying.
35:05
SPEAKER_00: Like, but that's what I meant.
35:06
SPEAKER_00: Like, basically, don't mess this up.
35:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you appreciate what you have, like, like you're making people laugh, and like you're connecting with people, and it's like such a cool art form.
35:14
SPEAKER_02: And the main thing, I mean, that I saw from the outside is that you didn't go straight to, hey, I'm selling tickets, I'm doing comedy.
35:21
SPEAKER_02: Come, come see me make you laugh at the very, very beginning.
35:23
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
35:24
SPEAKER_02: Like, from what I saw, you were doing like paying your dues, like doing the small gigs, learning on the job.
35:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, basically like you had the you hosted a show, right?
35:34
SPEAKER_01: A Netflix show, like you decided to hold it instead of oh yeah, yeah.
35:38
SPEAKER_00: I wasn't ready.
35:39
SPEAKER_00: Doing ready at that point whole headline.
35:41
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I've seen I've seen influencers or it's almost like TikTokers or whatever sell tickets that weren't ready, and then people were like, I don't want to see that guy.
35:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, dude, like that net that project we did for Netflix, it's almost like it's almost like what you're saying, like these influencer TikTokers are are doing venues in a way that I was like I was the original influencer type person who fell into some shit.
36:09
SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
36:10
SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
36:10
SPEAKER_01: And but so they're doing that, but at like a huge like you what you're saying, that what you're saying they're trying to headline, yeah.
36:16
SPEAKER_01: They were trying to get it.
36:18
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because they because that the demand's there.
36:20
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they're selling tickets.
36:22
SPEAKER_02: I'm sure they had somebody behind the money coming in.
36:24
SPEAKER_03: Some of them was some agent that came behind them and said, Hey, you can sell.
36:27
SPEAKER_03: Oh no, these these TikTokers are getting signed by some of the biggest agencies out there, yeah.
36:32
SPEAKER_03: And they and they are working them to the bone.
36:36
SPEAKER_03: They got them on the road.
36:38
SPEAKER_03: Are they crazy?
36:38
SPEAKER_01: Like, are they good at stuff?
36:40
SPEAKER_03: Some of them are, some of them, some of them can't transition.
36:44
SPEAKER_03: You know, some and you know, there's a there's a uh they're being graded on a curve, some some of them, you know, because the people like you, you know, you know, but a lot of stand-up is you're getting the audience to like you, right?
37:00
SPEAKER_03: As an unknown comic, that's your job.
37:02
SPEAKER_03: When I get up there, I have to convince these people not only am I funny, but they're that I'm I'm worth them liking.
37:08
SPEAKER_03: Uh part of that job is done for you when they paid to come see you.
37:12
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I like you already.
37:13
SPEAKER_03: I'm a fan of I paid to come see your show.
37:16
SPEAKER_03: So so even if they're not the best standup wise, you know, then uh they they get a little a little bump from that, right?
37:25
SPEAKER_03: Like they I'm gonna laugh a little bit more because I paid to come see you.
37:28
SPEAKER_03: You're the person I came to see.
37:29
SPEAKER_03: You're the picture, you're the picture up on the on on the poster.
37:33
SPEAKER_03: Uh I opened for for one TikToker, you know, and I won't call them out, but they've they've they've only been doing it, you know, two two years.
37:41
SPEAKER_03: Open mics.
37:42
SPEAKER_03: Wow.
37:42
SPEAKER_03: They hadn't even done any paid shows.
37:44
SPEAKER_03: Now they're blowing up on TikTok.
37:46
SPEAKER_03: You know, um they're figuring it out.
37:49
SPEAKER_03: You know, they had the they now they're selling 400 seats.
37:53
SPEAKER_03: That's a big jump to go from an open mic that maybe had 20 people to now you have to entertain 400 people for 45 minutes to 45 minutes to an hour is a hit is a headline set.
38:05
SPEAKER_03: That's a that's a big task.
38:08
SPEAKER_03: I think they'll figure it out.
38:09
SPEAKER_03: I saw you know, you know, I can look at somebody now and kind of figure out who it is.
38:14
SPEAKER_03: There's some that they get one year and they can't sell after that because it was that bad.
38:19
SPEAKER_00: So they burn their name.
38:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so we got AI and stuff like that.
38:22
SPEAKER_01: Do you think they how do you think that affects?
38:25
SPEAKER_01: Because people could go on there, hey, write me a one hour, whatchamacallit, whatever.
38:28
SPEAKER_01: Hold on, really?
38:29
SPEAKER_03: Well, the the AI, but you know, I mean, that's so different because they always had the option of hiring uh writers, okay?
38:36
SPEAKER_03: So this isn't it's it's new, but it's not new in a sense because uh the as far as the influencer, the comic pipeline, because back in the day, uh there was a lot of actors, comedic actors, and I will call this person out by name, like Chris Katan, who everyone was like, Oh my god, he's so funny on SNL, and he's Mango.
38:58
SPEAKER_03: It's like yeah, you know, but he but his stand-up is absolute trash, bro.
39:05
SPEAKER_03: Like but he but he's good enough where he could have someone help him develop a set and and and he can get through it, and because there he's famous, people are gonna pay to to to come to come see it, right?
39:22
SPEAKER_03: So you could they always have the option.
39:24
SPEAKER_03: So it's just a matter uh really who who's who's it hurting?
39:27
SPEAKER_03: Well, now they don't need to hire a writer, they can they can have AI.
39:31
SPEAKER_03: So everyone's always been capable of getting help from someone else, you know, like like having a research paper written or whatever from like I I worked and written with other comics, you know, uh, and I've had I've had newer comics want you know the same assistance.
39:49
SPEAKER_03: And they go the thing is though, you know, I can write you a good joke, but can you perform that joke?
39:55
SPEAKER_03: Can you make that joke yours?
39:57
SPEAKER_03: You know, you can't just hand over a a a good joke to anybody.
40:01
SPEAKER_03: And I I I know because I tried it and I'm some sometimes I've been like man, can I have that one back?
40:09
SPEAKER_03: Because like you ain't gonna do it right.
40:11
SPEAKER_03: And and that and that was good.
40:12
SPEAKER_03: Like, like like let me keep that one.
40:15
SPEAKER_03: Let me keep that one, you know, because because it was it was it was good, you know.
40:20
SPEAKER_01: It's cool to have like three comics and a conversation.
40:22
SPEAKER_02: I was gonna say you started with one comic each each uh like podcast or solos with the comic.
40:27
SPEAKER_02: I think Jobby was the first, and now you're like, let's just bring three comics in and let it bring.
40:32

40:34
SPEAKER_03: Did I do your first episode?

42:05
SPEAKER_04: You're standing on it, bro.
42:07
SPEAKER_02: Man, so you said you started fighting you know, I want to touch back on something.
42:11
SPEAKER_02: I remember congratulating him on his uh on how he hobby single-handedly turned a joke into a Netflix special.
42:17
SPEAKER_02: Oh I did what Netflix seriously started saying that years ago, what Javi started telling saying a joke how Daniel Daniel LaRusso was the bad guy.
42:29
SPEAKER_03: At least that it was way before the show.
42:31
SPEAKER_03: It was way before I stopped doing the joke, not because of the net because of the show, but because uh a YouTube video went viral on it, and and I didn't want people thinking that I was but I used to have a joke about that uh karate kid was one of my favorite movies, yeah, and then I had watched it so much that I started to see it from the angle of that Daniel was the bad guy, and I and I used to do that.
42:54
SPEAKER_03: Daniel was the burly guy, yeah, yeah.
42:55
SPEAKER_03: I used to do this whole bit like it was it was him, dude.
42:57
SPEAKER_03: Like the kid, that wasn't even your boom box, bro.
42:59
SPEAKER_03: Why the like yeah, I used to do this, yeah, and I used to do this bit about Mr.
43:08
SPEAKER_03: Miyagi, how that was not like not an appropriate relationship, like like why is a six-year-old Asian man?
43:15
SPEAKER_04: Like my guy like like like why is this six-year-old Asian man hanging out with his little boy, Italian boy, making him do yard work, getting all hot and sweaty, and then he gives them a massage?
43:29
SPEAKER_04: Oh what and like and gives him a sake?
43:32
SPEAKER_04: Like yeah, and gives him a car, bro.
43:35
SPEAKER_04: He's giving them gifts, bro.
43:37
SPEAKER_05: Like Daniel's all, I'm done.
43:45
SPEAKER_03: I just say you start you know, you start to see shit from a different angle.
43:51
SPEAKER_03: I like that.
43:52
SPEAKER_03: You know, it needed to be done.
43:54
SPEAKER_03: But but that's but that's part of comedy, right?
43:56
SPEAKER_03: You you're seeing things that everybody else is seeing, and and and you know, yeah.
44:00
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
44:00
SPEAKER_03: That's pretty cool.
44:01
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's pretty wild, bro.
44:02
SPEAKER_03: So y'all started around the same time, no?
44:04
SPEAKER_03: I started like probably maybe like a couple years or two after.
44:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I remember uh in fact, I think the first time one of the first times I saw you, you did uh uh Punnies and Corpus.
44:15
SPEAKER_03: I think, right?
44:16
SPEAKER_03: Like the year after I had won it.
44:18
SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, I think I remember I was hosting it.
44:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think that was Funny Corpus was like my fourth or fifth time on stage.
44:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, that was one of the first times I remember seeing you.
44:27
SPEAKER_02: The whole squad came out, everybody came out.
44:28
SPEAKER_02: I remember everybody came out.
44:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you good set?
44:31
SPEAKER_02: No, you did great.
44:32
SPEAKER_02: I but I did a lot of, I mean, I was new, so I did a lot of local stuff.
44:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
44:36
SPEAKER_02: So I mean, but everybody had fun.
44:37
SPEAKER_00: Everybody's like what's up with Bowtonette?
44:39
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like making H E B feed references and yeah, yeah.
44:46
SPEAKER_01: So you think it's harder for a comic, like I guess, to make it if it's in a town like ours that's kind of small, as opposed to like maybe Houston or something like that?
44:54
SPEAKER_02: I think it's hard no matter where you're at.
44:56
SPEAKER_02: If you go to Houston, there's so many guys out there, right?
44:59
SPEAKER_02: I think if you find your crowd and your crowd will push you and you you're you're giving them good stuff, you'll make it, right?
45:06
SPEAKER_01: So it doesn't matter about like how many performances that you might because you gotta have more a lot of performances, right?
45:14
SPEAKER_01: At the end of the day, if you're funny, you're funny.
45:16
SPEAKER_00: And if you're pushing, there's this there's just so many variables, bro.
45:20
SPEAKER_00: That's like saying, like, uh, I mean, you it's hard to factor everything in.
45:25
SPEAKER_00: It's like saying, okay, Ali Sadiq, he's from Houston.
45:28
SPEAKER_00: Let's count how many times he's been on stage, time multiply by how much how many years he's been doing it, times how he writes, and then find somebody else from Houston, you know what I mean?
45:36
SPEAKER_00: Right, right, right, and try to compare.
45:38
SPEAKER_00: But there's just some there's luck, there's you know, right time, right place, hustle, hustle, uh, being have grit, not giving up, and then you meet somebody and yeah, and you get lucky, and then other and then you start growing your finding your tribe, and then somebody might shout you out on Rogan.
45:59
SPEAKER_01: That's what I that's what I noticed, like, because you it seems like you've been networking for a lot of years, and you would you say that that's important too for a comic or a comedian, or you know what I'm saying?
46:09
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely, yeah, absolutely.
46:11
SPEAKER_02: It's like basic, right?
46:12
SPEAKER_02: I mean, jingle's been a a staple in the uh Hispanic Latin community for three years.
46:18
SPEAKER_02: I mean, the first time I saw him, I was probably like 10 at car shows.
46:22
SPEAKER_02: So my dad's we've been in car shows since we were kids.
46:25
SPEAKER_02: My dad's pretty well known in the in the scene.
46:28
SPEAKER_02: Um so when we were kids, like we met this guy.
46:32
SPEAKER_02: Oh wow.
46:32
SPEAKER_02: And then little by little just hey, there's that that that kid.
46:35
SPEAKER_02: Hey, there's that, there's that guy.
46:36
SPEAKER_02: And little by little, just more, more, more.
46:38
SPEAKER_02: Next thing you know, next thing you know, staple.
46:40
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
46:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's he's he's paid the dues.
46:46
SPEAKER_00: He's I mean, what he's trying what he's trying to say is, I I I how is it how could I be in the game 20 years and just fucking be a square?
46:54
SPEAKER_00: Like you're just not like you're not even networking, bro.
46:58
SPEAKER_00: That's the least you could do, you know.
47:02
SPEAKER_02: And then and then I mean, talent, the end of the day, you got talent and you can hone into it.
47:07
SPEAKER_02: I mean, LeBron James is 6'8, but LeBron James is gifted, right?
47:10
SPEAKER_02: Like everybody knows he's talented.
47:12
SPEAKER_02: Like, if you have the talent, you hone it in, you work hard, at the end of the day, you're gonna be successful.
47:17
SPEAKER_03: You're shine from anywhere.
47:18
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I I I I I can feel like I can speak to that a little bit because I I I found my my spot in the comedy industry, right?
47:27
SPEAKER_03: I'm not not a household name by any by any kind of kind of measure.
47:31
SPEAKER_03: Uh but I I I do I do what I do, and and and those that that that know know and and and respect what I do.
47:40
SPEAKER_03: Uh, and I did that for here from from Corpus, so I feel like I can speak to that.
47:43
SPEAKER_03: You're absolutely right, talent will will shine from from wherever, but your path is gonna be different, yeah.
47:50
SPEAKER_03: Right?
47:50
SPEAKER_03: Because just simply because in a bigger market, your opportunities are gonna be different.
47:55
SPEAKER_03: Just like like Tinga was saying, the the the there's pros and cons to everything.
47:59
SPEAKER_03: So like someone doing starting comedy in Houston or Austin or or LA is gonna have that benefit of extra time, right?
48:09
SPEAKER_03: There's so many more stages, you're gonna be in so many in front of so many other people, so much traffic.
48:15
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so much so so much rent.
48:18
SPEAKER_03: Traffic.
48:18
SPEAKER_03: Uh versus like to say, like, when I started when I started comedy here.
48:23
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
48:26
SPEAKER_03: There was no comedy open mics here.
48:29
SPEAKER_03: There's the it was I had House of Rock and Revolution, you know what I'm saying?
48:33
SPEAKER_03: So it there is different.
48:34
SPEAKER_03: And Steve Doringa was the first person to tell me, you know, he goes, you know, you're you're gonna someday be competing against guys that are doing 15 open mics a week.
48:42
SPEAKER_01: Right.
48:43
SPEAKER_03: How are you going to compete with them?
48:44
SPEAKER_03: Oh, right.
48:46
SPEAKER_03: Uh and and and and that was very daunting to someone who was just starting comedy.
48:50
SPEAKER_03: Um when I found out your your years later, as I eventually met with those guys from LA, you know, you know, I had to find a different way to get my stage.
49:01
SPEAKER_03: I had to start my own open mic so that I could then create stage.
49:04
SPEAKER_03: I had to start to start to start a group with some other comics so that we started putting on our own shows.
49:10
SPEAKER_03: What ended up happening from that is when I met up with these guys from LA, yes, they were doing they had many more open mics to do, and they were doing four or five minute sets.
49:22
SPEAKER_03: But I got to start featuring and and headlining bar shows in the state of Texas within a year of starting comedy.
49:32
SPEAKER_03: So where they had 20 minute sets, I had an hour already.
49:36
SPEAKER_03: Oh when they got their first headlining set, I had already thrown away an hour of material.
49:41
SPEAKER_03: So there are pros and cons to everything from being a being a big fish in in a small pond to being in a bigger market where there might be but on the same slide, a lot of them they they got their HBO spots because they get to shoe showcase, they get to network, they get to be in in in wherever they where they're battle.
50:01
SPEAKER_00: I'll give you an example of the music days back in the day where let's say you're from somewhere like Houston, right?
50:09
SPEAKER_00: Houston, Texas, and then you have other cats doing the rap thing, but they're like in LA or New York.
50:16
SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
50:16
SPEAKER_00: That's where all the labels are, right?
50:18
SPEAKER_00: So it's like, bro, you literally walk past the Sony building on your way to work, whatever, like you drive past the Capitol building on the way to your mom's, and it's like you can literally try and like deliver a demo, or your your uncles, cousins, niece works at the front desk at Atlantic, right?
50:36
SPEAKER_00: You know, whatever, that type of thing.
50:38
SPEAKER_00: So the beautiful thing is on the music side, like Texas created kind of like other markets too, like maybe like the Bay Area, Atlanta.
50:48
SPEAKER_00: Well, now all the industries in Atlanta too.
50:50
SPEAKER_00: Now you see all the Capitol Wreckers or whatever.
50:53
SPEAKER_00: But but like you didn't have the luxury of walking past the Sony building every day.
50:59
SPEAKER_00: So you had to find your audience, build your brand, like like find your fans, you know, your customers, the people that rock with you, the people that you speak to, the people that you represent, the people that you're trying to connect with, your tribe or whatever they call it.
51:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, there's a bunch of different ways.
51:15
SPEAKER_00: But the people that support you, show you love, show up, buy a shirt, uh, leave the comment, share the video, leave the laugh emoji, tell their friend about you.
51:26
SPEAKER_00: Um, so, so with that example I was given, it's like, yeah, like for example, even Hollywood, you know, you might grow up right by it, and your uncle used to work security at the Disney lot, yeah, or whatever.
51:41
SPEAKER_00: But it's like, can you hustle?
51:44
SPEAKER_00: Can you build something?
51:45
SPEAKER_00: Oh, you know what I mean?
51:46
SPEAKER_00: Can you create and make something that's gonna resonate and stand out?
51:49
SPEAKER_00: Oh, you know, all right, and that's why sometimes I get a little frustrated, like with like, you know, you want to do at one point a little bit more focus on like acting or movie, Hollywood type related, but then you realize, oh, these motherfuckers smell like baby oils.
52:05
SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
52:06
SPEAKER_00: And then you realize, good, I'm glad I never like the graphs season, yeah.
52:11
SPEAKER_00: Because, because, because especially like once, like for me, personal, like being on the Philly Brown movie set, working with all these big names, like having lunch with Edward James Almos, or Lou Diamond Phillips gives you props, or you're in the scene with Gina Rodriguez and uh all these people.
52:29
SPEAKER_00: Um, and and you're like, Well, shit, they know I got the motherfucking sauce.
52:35
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
52:35
SPEAKER_00: It's like shit, why ain't why the fuck they ain't ever reached out and be like, bro, we need that kid from Houston.
52:41
SPEAKER_00: Like Kat Williams told me right here.
52:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm not trying entitled either.
52:45
SPEAKER_00: I'm not like, hey, where's my yeah, where's my sitcom?
52:49
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, where's my sitcom?
52:52
SPEAKER_05: Where's my tour?
52:54
SPEAKER_05: You can control for that one, you can control over that one.
52:59
SPEAKER_00: He's like, so yeah, so sometimes, you know, sometimes, sometimes, like, for example, Cat Williams, when I met him, he told me straight up, he's like, he was telling another comic right there at his crib.
53:12
SPEAKER_00: He's telling another comic, like he's like, I've been to jail.
53:15
SPEAKER_00: This the motherfucker, he's like, they don't like whoever's the biggest name for the Mexicans, right?
53:20
SPEAKER_00: The king, the you know, the person that was ordained the fucking king of all Mexican comics.
53:24
SPEAKER_07: They're like, they don't really rock with him.
53:27
SPEAKER_07: They're like, he 50 years old, ain't got not one tattoo.
53:32
SPEAKER_00: You know, and I'm there at his house, and Cat Williams is I don't even do stand-up yet at the time.
53:36
SPEAKER_00: And he's telling me, like, dog, you the one got the motherfucking sauce.
53:39
SPEAKER_00: Like, he's playing me songs.
53:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, You're Cat Williams, and he's asking me about rap shit.
53:44
SPEAKER_00: And the most but he was like he was really holding court, he was like a professor fucking breaking down the universe and little Wayne.
53:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's super bro.
53:53

1:00:02
SPEAKER_03: People can like or not like what you say.
1:00:04
SPEAKER_03: That's not freedom of speech.
1:00:07
SPEAKER_03: A business can decide whether or not to to to let you perform in their their club or not.
1:00:12
SPEAKER_03: That's not violating it's it's when you have a government agency waiting for you to get off the stage, waiting for you to say the wrong thing while you're on stage, like how Lenny Bruce, the cops when he was speaking out against the church and religion, and and the government didn't like that, the powers to be that didn't didn't like that, were st would stand in the back of the room waiting for him to say the wrong thing so that they can arrest him when he got off stage.
1:00:38
SPEAKER_03: That's a violent.
1:00:40
SPEAKER_00: Or like when the government uh pressures Mark Zuckerberg to silence you if you're posting something about health or whatever they decided that week.
1:00:49
SPEAKER_00: You know, it's their platform and you know, things like that.
1:00:53
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:00:53
SPEAKER_00: Like you know, but but right now, you know, not to get too fucking deep, but but yeah, right now what we're experiencing is like a big fucking psyop.
1:01:00
SPEAKER_00: It's like the media and it's like Maoism of like that type of cancel, cancel culture, where it's like we're gonna shame you, we're gonna bully you, and we're gonna ostracize you.
1:01:10
SPEAKER_00: It's different now, we're gonna label you.
1:01:12
SPEAKER_01: And then so that what you lose your job, you lose this stuff.
1:01:15
SPEAKER_03: You're gonna hit you where it hurts.
