• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And then so my son. That's her cousin. That'll always

  Speaker 1: be her first cousin. So now the kids that they
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: have their second together, it will be second cousin.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So your cousin's kids will be your kids second cousins. Yeah, okay, okay,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: so like one parent away because it's like two parents.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But sometimes there's people who become cousin because of marriage,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Like those don't even call man, we can have sex.

• 3:40
  Speaker 2: have no chromosomes.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, it doesn't even matter. But one time,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: because it happened to me, man, I was like talking

• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to your father or your mom not related to your

  Speaker 3: share parents. Common ancestors are your great grandparents. I guess
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I should have started at the top. A second cousin
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: is a family member who shares the same great grandparents
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: as you, but not the same parents or grandparents. Oh,

• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and your parents are first cousins to each other.
• 5:05

  Speaker 1: Is that what inspire you to be it?
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Because well, no, Well what inspired me is my grandmother
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: was a costume designer, and so she my fat ass,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: and she taught me how to sew. And then and
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: so when I like in New Orleans, you know women,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Southern women, a little bit of vicious Southern women, a
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: tad bless your heart, somebody's.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Going to break up a barbecue and start up prayer bro.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: So if you know, the worst thing that a woman
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: could do in the South is show up to a
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: party wearing something that some other woman is wearing. Shut
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: up right, like Walmart, you gotta go, well, well it's
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: it's kind of it's you know, you have to be
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: in whatever the latest fashion is, right, and so there
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: is a chance of that if everybody's going to the
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: same shops, then you might wear something that somebody else wore. Okay,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: So and that was a no no. But but for me,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: I was very well endowed as a as a youngster.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: So I've since had two breast reductions. But I was
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: very well endowed as a youth, and so two breast
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: reductions because I was naturally yeah, I was naturally mor
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: gaunt morgana. That's y'all wouldn't know.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: That before before you got into common after.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Before like this was in high school, Like, well I
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: did it, Like I shrunk three inches. I shrunk three inches.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: It was terrible. It's terrible, hunchback. It was awful. But
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: but anyway, but that's what got me into making costumes
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: because nothing would fit me. Like they didn't make clothes,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: you know, like if you wanted to fit the bottom
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: of you, it wouldn't fit the top of you. Right,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: So my grandmother showed me how to go and then
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: she taught me about fabric. And so I was like, well,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: I would just go to thrift stores and she you
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: would always show me. She said, you know, the vintage clothes.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: It was better fabric. It was made better. It had darts,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: it had gathers, it was for curves, right, like you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: like these clothes today that the girls shop at. Right,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: it's like a T shirt is just a square, you know,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: because that's cheap. You can make it. You can make
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: a million of them, right, But if you want to
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: put like take that nap, take that blanket and try
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: to fold it over the pillow, you can't do it
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: unless you make little ducks and gathers and plats, right,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: because it's round. So I just started shopping at thrift
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: stores and then I would cut up really well made
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: vintage clothes and I would make my own outfit because
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: then I could show up to the party and no
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: one would be wearing what I was wearing, right because
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: it was one of a kind. Now did people make
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: fun of me, of course, But you know, show me
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: a comedian that people didn't make fun of when you
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: were growing up. Like, you know, you take those slings
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: and arrows and you throw them right back. But I'll
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: be honest, I was. I am not. Mitchy always used
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: to tell me. She's like, you're not a comic, okay,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Like I'm not a comedian. You know why, because to
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: be a good comedian you have to get the Heckler's right.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: It's it's energy. You you're up on stage and you
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: are exchanging energy with the crowd. And if there's this
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: little pocket over here, that gets a little bit out
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: of control. You know, that's why a lot of teachers
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: are good comics, because you know, you got to take
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: that class, clown, and you got to be like, this
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: is not your time to shine. Right, But I'm a
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Southern batan. No, but I'm a well I did go
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: back to school to become a teacher. But I like
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: to be a hostess, right, Like I want to throw
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: a dinner party, and I want to be in a
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: fabulous dress, and I want to be charming. I don't
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: want people to throw food at me. I don't want
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: to have to like discipline people at my dinner party.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: I'd like, I want to have a good time. And
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: you and you can't just have a good time when
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: you're on stage. You have to master the energy of
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: the room. Yeah, you have to. And and so that
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: was something that I just I just didn't care to
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't care. That's funny you say that, man, because
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I heard the thought that that that the comedy store
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: that I died.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Wait what happened?
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: There was a comedian out there. I think it's this
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: because a teacher, but also the teacher. He's a teacher.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not showing you his name, but he said, you know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: this is like the comedy store, right ballet or on
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: a Sunday bro like after the after the open mic,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: So it's like any other rails right right right, He
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: continues continuous, but there was like nobody there, like thirty
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: people there bro and comedians in the back. And he said,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I was talking to a comedian in the back and
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: he was telling me, trying to give me advice on
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: stand up comedy. He said, what you gotta do, man,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: is you gotta go up. We'll watch the show. And
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: she was the last communist talked about it. See what
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the cross of the vibbing and play off that and
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: see what they're doing, and you're the word. And I
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: looked at him and said, how do you do that?
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: He looked at me and said, I don't know. I
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: saw Hyundai's and then he was saying that man name
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: is Will Sparici wal Spercy.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: When you started, it was like when you came to

• 40:46
  Speaker 3: There were only two agents in New Orleans, and one
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: agent put out a hit on the other agent. WHOA
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: that's how cut throughout the business.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: God damn, it sounds like comedy producers are here.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: No, And it's also like a right to work state.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: So I did a national commercial during the super Bowl
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: and I got one hundred dollars so and for people,
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: for people that have super Bowl commercials, you know that
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: could get you a house.

• 41:19
  Speaker 3: No, no, we didn't know. We were just you know.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: And when did you find out?
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Oh not until I came out here, And then I
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: learned how the business really were. But but I had
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: I had an audition in New Orleans and I got
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: a show out here. And you remember that show with
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: aj Benza.

• 41:44
  Speaker 3: I came out here, pitched it to all these people
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: with this producer that didn't know you were not supposed
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: to tell people ideas without signing anything. And so we

  Speaker 3: had two writing partners, and it was Marco Soriano and
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Rick Pelasio. And they called themselves Therace Barcos, right because
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: one was from Mexico and one was from the Dominican
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Republic and one was from Colombia and so and they,
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, we like, I was the talent coordinator at

  Speaker 3: the store, so we filmed it at the Comedy Store,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: at the Laugh Factory, at John Lovitz's club, at the

  Speaker 3: she wasn't three. This was around two thousand and and eight,
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: so she was six and their daughter was five, So
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: I was not in the room. I set up the interviews,
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: and then I was outside playing with the kids. So
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know that I was in it, that
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: they asked the comedians questions about me until I saw
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: it at the screening. So it was interesting because you know,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: and then he gave me like the tapes, you know,
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: like the longer tapes, and I got to hear what
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: everybody had to say about Freddie and what everybody had
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: to say about me. So, I mean I listened to
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: it so many times over the years because I feel
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: like my life stopped because it was Freddie died and
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: then I'm from New Orleans and I took Cruz home,
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: you know, three weeks after the funeral, and Hurricane Katrina
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: hit and everybody and their family, everybody in my family
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: lost their homes, so I had nowhere to go. And
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: then and then came back to LA and was like,
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: all right, this is it. It's the end of the world,
• 44:58

• 45:04
  Speaker 2: So all your family members they lost their homes.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so so and my grandmother just moved to
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Houston and everybody just kind of like relocated. But in
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: my head, you know how it is. I was just
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: talking to Lisa about it, Like I watched Freddy every
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: single night, and I would watch it and then I
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: would take notes, and then after the show, we'd go
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: and we'd stay up all night and we'd dissect the
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: jokes and then we'd talk, well, maybe you could do
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: this here, maybe you could do this here, And then
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: I would film them and then i'd go on tour
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: with them, and it was like, you know, my life
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: was his life, Like I he was the funniest person
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: I'd ever met in my life. And I like, I'll
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: tell you the first time I met him, he walked
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: into the green I mean, he walked into the kitchen
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: at the comedy store, and it was like this halo
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: was around him, and I just like everything else went black.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

• 46:13
  Speaker 3: each other in past lives, like throughout the year, I
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: mean like throughout the ages. But apparently in everyone he
• 46:21

  Speaker 3: his show, they spent millions of dollars on a pilot,
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: like they filmed Wow, you know what, I don't know
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: the show runner, it was it, but it was. It

  Speaker 3: going in the trash.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, bro, that's a fact. So whatever
• 54:03

  Speaker 3: Yeah, he said, I'm not going to get credit for it.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, my granddad was in the TV
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: was in the Hollywood Reporter. I mean, I need.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Unlimited.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: She said it was the show tested through the roof.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: It was going to be a huge hit. I mean,
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: you know the pilot is, but it was going to
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: be a huge hit, Like they would have found their groove,
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: and it would It was two years before George had
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: his show, so it would have been like, you know,
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: the Big Latino show. And and Freddy was devastated, and
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: so here you have a depressed, sober Mexican on a
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: tour bus with Mark Anthony and and I think he
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: came back a different person. And and that's when I
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: called his mom and I was like, look, you told
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: me not to let him drink. But I'm like, like,
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: I never knew I mean, Felipe, I never knew him,
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: not sober. So I didn't know this edgy guy, right,
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: I knew. I knew like a really affable, soft guy.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: And I was talking to Eleanor Kerrigan about it, and
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: she said she had seen him. She said that was
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: the third time he fell off and that she goes
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: there were times before that he had fallen off the wagon,
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: and she was like, hmm, I think I might just
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: step back from this particular gentleman for a second. But
