  SPEAKER_01: I my thing is that I have people that have asked from the very beginning, man.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: You know, people get in their feelings.
• 2:14

• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: It just life happens.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: Um but it's also an avenue if we have an all-women show.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: I guess an all-women show.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: If we have it's another it's another niche in comedy that's done everywhere else.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: Why aren't we doing it here?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: So I said, well, if nobody's gonna do it, I'm I'll I'll do it.

• 2:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well that too, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_03: Christian clean is is a very lucrative and I and I'm not trying to say that in an offensive way, right?
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_03: But uh it's such a sm it's just such a there's not a lot of people that do it, yeah, and there's not a lot of people that do it well.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_03: And I so it's kind of if you go that lane, it's kind of easy to get work.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_03: Like once you get on once you get on the church circuit and they're generous, right?
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_03: They give they give you your uh your blessings.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_03: Pete Holmes kind of touched on it.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_03: He did well, actually, no, not touched on it.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_03: He did like a three-episode arc on his show Crashing.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_03: Where where he kind of like, oh yeah, you know, oh I'm doing and you feel like you're doing it, right?
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_03: Because once you hit a circuit like that, it's like, oh, moving, and then you go back to New York, and they're like, Yeah, you're on the fucking church circuit.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: Crazy.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I I tell people straight up, I'm like, all right, this is clean.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh no, no cussing for sure.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh wow.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: No degrading talk, no talk about sex, no talk about it.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: Interesting.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'll talk about anything like that.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: Keep it light, keep it funny, good luck.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: But the best, I mean, the people who can do it the best, I mean, you don't even notice, man.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you really don't notice that like being clean.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: Do you feel like it like clean comedy is harder?
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's harder to write for?
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know what I'm saying?
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I wouldn't say harder, you just have to be more aware, right?
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um, comedy's hard in general, man.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, at the end of the day, if you're funny, you're gonna be funny.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: But comedy's hard in general.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: It's just I don't know, man.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I I don't think it's harder.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: But I mean, some people might think it's harder.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: Um but I I do think it's it's it takes practice.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: But all comedy takes practice, right?
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: But you have to be self-aware of what's going on and what you're saying.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: Because the last thing you want to do is lose a room, because in a clean room, you can lose a room.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Whoa, that's crazy, bro.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_07: And you hear it, you'll feel the silence go over.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_03: Well no, lose a room like they won't have you back.

  SPEAKER_03: So you need to redeem that horrible experience.

  SPEAKER_07: And if you're if you're really, it was the anxiety attack, the panic attack of not being prepared.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_07: When you sign up for something like that, I think you really need to process like if you get picked, you will be in front of 2.5 million people.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_07: Just the stage alone is a little intimidating because you have a badass band right here, you have four millionaire celebrities right there, and then it's about I think 250 or 300 people in the and it was a packed house.

• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.

  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, the lead drummer.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_07: That drummer, he's from Brownsville.

  SPEAKER_01: I think I hosted two.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_07: He came to Corpus to Mesquite Street, yeah, to Mesquite.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, in 17 or something like that.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: 17, 18, something around there.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: So looking back, what did what have we learned from that experience?
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like uh going forward from there.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_07: Well, like I said, I I should have I should have watched more episodes.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_07: Um, I should have prepared a better 60 seconds because even though that's one of my favorite jokes to do, and everybody tells me to stop doing that joke.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_07: So many people, especially my friends that have good dad, they're like, stop doing your dead dad joke.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_07: And I'm like, dude, just enjoy your dad.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_07: But yeah, so I would have I I wouldn't need to prepare a better 60 seconds.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_07: You know, I I I would have I should have consulted with other comics.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_07: So there were so many comics there, and I was just so in my head that I didn't even like sorry, you didn't mean to interrupt no, yeah.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_03: Were were were you aware going in?
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_03: Like I know you said you didn't watch a lot or whatever.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_03: Were you aware that there's a possibility that they're not gonna be nice to you?
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, I knew that.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: You knew at least you knew at least that.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's kind of the MO.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I think maybe that triggered if you're not good or they don't perceive you as good.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, whatever.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_03: They they they will kind of roast you in that part at least.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_07: To be honest, Javi, I stay away from competitions, from roasts, from stuff like that, because I don't handle rejection well.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_07: Like I'll cry, I'll cry.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_07: So I don't go to do things that I know that are gonna affect me.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_07: If I go to a competition and I go home, I'm gonna cry.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_07: If I go do a roast, I'm it's gonna hurt my I'm gonna be hurt.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_07: So I don't sign up for those kinds of things, but I think this was just one of those wild hairs.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_07: Like, just do it, just just see what happens.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_03: Now you did it, you know.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_07: I did it, but I wish I was better prepared.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_07: I wish I was better informed of how to handle it, and I wish that I didn't have so many nerves.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_07: Like if my anxiety was under control, I feel like I would have been able to be myself, you know, witty, say something clever.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_07: I maybe I would have even had some shots back at him.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, you know, just but then again, it was Jim Brewer, and I was I just I had it, and he even said the word, hey, stop freaking out right there.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_07: I should have been.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_07: I'm not gonna do.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I had an opportunity right there.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's right there, it was right there.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: And so, yeah, so that's so those clips kind of went viral, I guess, semi-viral or whatever.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: And no, not the did you get any like like no, it went viral.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: Do you did you get any like trolls or anything like that?
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: If so, like was is that messing with your head?
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: Do you feel like maybe somebody going a comic going on to their to that show could like hurt their confidence and like maybe cause them to not want to go be a comedian anymore?
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: How do y'all how do y'all deal with that?
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_07: Well, I got I got a lot of hate.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_07: And Javi warned me, thanks, Javi.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_07: But he said, Don't read the comments, don't go to no, and he said he was like, Have you heard about this website?
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_07: And have you been on Reddit?
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_03: And have you I'm like, No, you didn't know Reddit, I said, Don't go on Reddit.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_03: She goes, What's Reddit?
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_03: I just said don't go on it.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I didn't even tell you what it is.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_07: I have like maybe like two or three apps on my phone.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_07: I really try to keep it minimal.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_07: I'm only on like Facebook and Instagram.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_07: I don't have TikTok, I don't have YouTube, I don't have the other apps that he mentioned.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_07: They're like, yeah, no, there's this other app that they're like, I'm like, what did they say, Javi?
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_07: He was like, Don't log in there.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_05: Don't go in there, don't go there.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_07: He said, Don't read.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_07: So I did read a few.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_07: Most of them were DM'd directly to me.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_07: I appreciate that.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_07: That's wild.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_03: That is told me that.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_03: That is wild.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_03: Like, yeah, like but one today, too.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_07: There was another one today that said, I'm stalking you.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_07: I I probably should report.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: Crazy.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_07: But yeah, so I was like, most of them are writing.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_03: Well one thing that that helps with with that, because when you're putting out content on social media, you're gonna get the comments.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_03: I feel like I've been very fortunate.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_03: I haven't I've I've dealt with a very small fraction of of just the hating ass comments when when a video catches whatever you're but you're gonna get it.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_03: If there's if there's a thousand people laughing, there's gonna be I that wasn't funny.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know, you know, whatever whatever, or they want to get off.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_03: What what's really helped me in reframing it is like, man, how pathetic does this person's life have to be?
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_03: That this is what fucking gets them off, right?
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_03: Commenting that's to go out of your way to like they had to look you up.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_03: They solved they saw the they solve the freaking thing, and they like this guy just just was like, yeah, let me search up this bitch.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_03: Let me torta, let me bitch fucking torta.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_03: You fucking you need a quick comedy, but you need to go fucking shave your neck, big motherfucker.
• 19:39

• 20:26
  SPEAKER_07: It's not, and then they don't even introduce me by my stage name, they'll just say you're getting Tina.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, crazy.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_07: They won't say the full stage name.

  SPEAKER_07: The funny thing is, is that I did uh Kill Tony on Monday on Martin Luther King, and then of course I had my Tuesday show at the Artisan.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_07: So there is when I really like I got on stage and I let everybody know.
• 21:03

• 21:15
  SPEAKER_07: I'm in Edinburgh with Mario, so I was it was like I didn't even have time to like breathe and be like, what just happened?
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_07: Crazy, you know?
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: So crazy, man.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_07: But now we have this Friday art walk show here in Corpus.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_07: And the best thing is that the the comments that I do uh that I have been getting locally have all been great.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_07: They're like, dude, how yeah, you did it, you got through it.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_00: Nice, yeah.

  SPEAKER_07: That's a good thing.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, they follow.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: They're watching.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: Even at that, you were aware too.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_01: You're like, yeah, it was brutal.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: Like I struggled.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm not gonna say I killed, like, you didn't go out there and say, Oh, I
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_07: We knew like hey, it was a rough time for it was it was one of my worst performances.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_07: I I feel that my interview everything I said on the interview was either a lie or exact exactly like the whole interview she just perjured herself.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_02: The whole interview saying shit.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even know what you're nervous or I guess so.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_07: My dad didn't even die in COVID.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_01: Like I said, so but even even the bad experience, would you I I'd still rather have the bad experience than not have the experience.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_03: I'm letting you say that because I thought I was sure you didn't start comedy during the pandemic.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, everything I said because I asked her when did you start comedy?
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_01: She's like, She's in the pandemic.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe she fucking did it out.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_03: Keep tracking your fucking comedy birthday and shit.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_03: Like she's been doing it longer than that.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_07: Well, well, my first time trying to open Mike was on my 30th birthday.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, it's my I was there for the Can't believe me.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_07: Out.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_07: See?
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_07: And so that was super traumatizing.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_07: So I didn't do comedy for years.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_07: So that's why I'm like, yeah, I did open Mike for the first time 10 years ago, but I didn't really start getting into it until Nuevo Cafe, which was literally right before the pandemic and they shut down.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_07: So that's why I'm like, uh, the pandemic.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: So uh I guess moving on to great comedian.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: We're talking about great comedians now.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, and it makes me think uh what actually separates the comedians who make it from the ones who don't?
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: Uh like what's the formula?
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: What's one ingredient that the greats have in common?
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: Well, there was obviously comedians up there on the panel, uh, with took with uh that Kiltoni, like Jim Brewer.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know who the other guy was.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_07: Sound talent.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, they're hilarious.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_00: And do you think that they I mean they have the ingredient, or I mean, I guess everybody's definition is different.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I used to tell them they shit.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_07: Well, they say comedy is subjective, right?
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_07: So you know, and and Javi has his special.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_07: I'm not for you know, I it it it depends.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_07: It it it depends.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_07: It like to to what do you consider made it?
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_07: Like, I am super happy doing comedy.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_07: Like, I'm I want to say I'm content.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_07: You know, so when everybody was I even get hate comments, uh DMs, why are you private?
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_07: You need to make this, you need to make a YouTube, you need to.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_07: I'm like, oh I have I feel like in my head, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm okay.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_07: So when they're like you need to do this, or you need to have a special, or you need to to be able to say like you made, or you need to be able to do shows in LA or New York.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_07: I mean, that would be great to get those opportunities, but I guess everybody's different.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_07: You know, every year I have different goals and it just I'm still mind-blown where comedy takes me.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_07: You know, I you know, I'll get booked for just a guest spot or whatever, and then I'll end up meeting a movie star and he'll end up liking my stupid five-minute guest spot where I talk about my dead dad.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_07: And you know, it's just and in that moment, I'm like, I made it.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_07: You know, but that's not really it.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_07: In that moment, I'm super happy and content with where comedy has taken me that I'm just trying to like absorb every moment.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking about what you told him that you did for work.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_00: You you're like, I'm an educator.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, that's a lie.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_07: I'm not even a teacher.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_07: Oh my god.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: He freaking dug into that big time.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_07: That's how you know I'm not a good liar.

  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm not doing anything crazy in comedy, but I mean, where where when you apply yourself, like things happen.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_01: So that's what I that's what I really enjoy about it, is like the life experiences.

  SPEAKER_07: The life experiences and then the the relationship that we build from that.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_07: Like we've met the people that come through here, and you wouldn't believe it, but they remember us.

  SPEAKER_07: And it's just like you build those relationships, and a lot of the good ones, they'll stop to talk and be like give us advice or just talk about the journey.

  SPEAKER_00: I'll figure something out.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_00: Nah, uh, I feel feel feels cool.

  SPEAKER_00: You've only seen me y'all see me a few times at open mic, but I'll be okay.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_00: You guys are gonna like uh go ahead.

• 34:46
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like handling all of that at once.

  SPEAKER_01: Optimistic.
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_01: So when we say halfway, 60, that means we are at 30.
• 35:12

• 35:48
  SPEAKER_00: You were telling me about you know, uh, you know, letting the news outlets know maybe about the show and stuff like that.

• 42:57
  SPEAKER_07: And so some of the jokes were like about kids and stuff like that.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_07: Like would you say is that is that uh something that would be off limits on a roast?
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_03: Um or in comedy, like when someone goes up and they're talking religion or politics, I think attacking someone someone's family is generally in my experience in comedy, is yeah, it's a it's in in a roast battle situation it it's it's mutual combat, right?
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_03: Who's in the fight?
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_03: Me and Leto.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_03: Leto's wife didn't sign up to be roasted.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_03: Leto's kids didn't sign up to be roasted.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_03: Leto agreed to be roasted.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_03: So to pull someone into it that didn't agree to be part of that, yeah, yeah, it it's it it it's out it it's it's out of bounds a little bit.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_03: And then and then some so you know um every roast that I've ever been a part of from from the very amateur to to very well put together.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_03: productions that discussion is had beforehand like hey is there something that's not cool because you're you're the point of roasting isn't is not to to tear someone down you're not trying to ruin someone's life or make someone feel horrible about themselves you're I guess you're making jokes at their expense but but they should be able to laugh at it a little bit too right like so and um you know but I mean it is what it is right there there's no there's no rules anymore in comedy people are gonna do what they're gonna do uh just understand like there's no action is without consequence and people are gonna make and what you do tell somebody about where your values are and so people are gonna make up their mind based off how you carry yourself right that that that's all they're you know and so that's why I wanted to ask you about that because that is something like I had told Mr.
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_03: Wendell and Sean Miller like for for you guys that are you know y'all have done clean y'all have a little bit more experience of like what to do what not to do what to say what is some of the like etiquette when it comes to doing comedy at an open mic at a show if you're another comic and you're working with another comic whether y'all friends or not there's just some things that you do and you don't when you're w performing and uh so yeah I'm glad that you said that because uh my mom is a nice lady and so kids and parents should be off limits um especially if it's not that funny like you know right um so that was you know I I I wanted to walk away from the kill Tony experience yeah don't you talk bummer mama jokes you know what I mean like and that's just how I feel right like it's everything's debatable right yeah because even if if I was to take the other side of the coin and say okay let's say Tony for instance right he he took a shot at your mom how everybody's like you signed up for it you knew I'm like you signed up for it you mentioned her first right so so then if you okay now that's fair game on the table right in if in the conversation you in you introduced that oh my mom's a uh well doesn't like my it wasn't even a roast battle it's an interview well well that's kind of but that's kind of going going back to knowing knowing the nature of right yeah right and that was my bad not being prepared before before the pod sorry about over talking everybody but before the podcast that was his intrigue like he was writing he was writing for Jeff Ross like he's a roaster he's a roaster that's what he's known as nature of Kill Tony is to roast somebody yeah and when especially on Kill Tony when it's time to interview and you see somebody struggling he's just gonna kick a horse when they're down well that's how he keeps the show funny right because of course people laugh and the funny comes from him and his panel roasting you yeah that's I mean but the people who kill he doesn't like really like talk bad about them or roast them yeah and yeah he hated that's kind of work against me right he they didn't have a whole lot to roast me on other than my size like the set wasn't like my best but it wasn't it didn't they were like yeah that was a perfectly fine set so yeah hey you you should be called Ralphie de Mayo like that was their big fucking joke like oh you're Mexican and you're fat you're you're a fat Ralph you're you're Mexican Ralphie May why don't you live in LA are you scared to be in LA that was yeah that was their whole thing like I was like no I got kids and then then they were they backed and as soon as I said kids they were like oh well he you know he's a real man he's got kids doesn't want to move here like they left me the fuck alone they're like all right well I'm not marketable adjusted he's not a mess I'm too well no even still years later I still I'll still get people that show up and be like I've been following you since Kill Tony that's cool I'm sure I'm gonna get those two new followers and they're gonna be like that's when I first saw you when you had a breakdown on Kill Tony listen there for everyone that for as many haters there are there's people out there that love an underdog oh yeah so there's some people that found your set your interview very endearing they can they can relate to the fact that she was nervous she was scared yeah they're gonna they're gonna watch you they're gonna want and they're gonna want to see you know something from from you yeah I'm going back to redeem myself yeah yeah yeah put out some clues put put up you know come check out the show but yeah come check out to you because I appreciate that yeah we're all doing a big set so it should be fun yeah no even Jim Brewer pointed out like it seemed like he was wanting to be on your side too because he was like yeah she came out here like he was pointing out your nervousness and he was like you did it you came out here you know that was cool him being kind of being on your side do you feel like what you're asking Javi about the roasting is something that needs to be talked about because uh like locally around yeah I told Mr.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_07: Wendell and Sean Miller and that's why I was asking him about it because I'm like I feel like you need to talk to some of the beginners they've only been doing it for maybe six months a year or two and there's just something I know I know I know I've asked Mr.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_03: Wendell and Sean too and it's just like we're gonna do what they want to do do you homie what the fuck do I know get a picture of Hobbys and put some cream in it you got the cream in there let the chips fall they made you gonna do what you're fucking gonna do just know people are watching right but what's the fuck you're gonna do it's my people are what I I got that advice years ago.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_01: It's my my my two rules in comedy number one be funny number two don't be a jerk like don't be a jerk you don't have to be the funniest guy in the room all the time you don't have to say that's what she said after somebody says something normal like don't be the fun like don't be funny and don't be a jerk and help out like that's just simple.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_00: So don't so that applies that applies to like like booking shows and stuff like that.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_00: Like as far as the the business aspect too like don't be a jerk so that way you can get shows different places.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_07: I mean like if when it comes to booking hey to each their own like yeah and that's why I think I kind of like backed off I'm like everybody's in their own lane a lot of the comics have their own mic or their own podcast or they're out on the road doing their own thing which I respect and I appreciate a podcast but but for at the same time they're still new and I think that since the pandemic the social skills we've lost like a lot of the social skills when you're in a show like even though you're a comic don't be in the front don't be you don't even stand in the back and talk like go walk outside and direct traffic or help sell tickets like just little things about etiquette when it comes to open mics comedy shows promoting like I feel like I have to sometimes beg for somebody to be like can you share the flyer I booked you can you at least share it one time like you know I know I'm gonna I booked you and I know I should be the person to do all this but just a little bit of effort and etiquette for not sharing the flyers that I was on I forgive you but next time next time do better.
• 51:13
  SPEAKER_07: So just that conversation of hey you have entitlement you think that you can just show up and like do this and do that but you haven't really helped the comedy scene you haven't even did you even sell a ticket did you invite your family your friends your Facebook uh following anybody they just show up and have this entitlement or um and I've seen this in other like other um cities too I'll go and it's just like there's already little clicks where they're like no we don't we don't support and I'm like oh my God luckily here at Corpus like dude all the comics we all support each other we're sharing each other's flyer we're we're on each other's podcast we're on you know like that's what I love about our scene but some newer ones don't really know that and which is fine that's okay because you're doing your own thing you have to learn on your own but that's I was like uh Sean or Mr.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_07: Wendell like tell them and and they will be like hey make I'm carrying the the speaker and I'm carrying all my equipment to do an open mic and I have broken hands hey last time I came in here I was in a cast like I'll have broken hands with the case carrying my equipment and all the comics are out there smoking their cigarette and I'm like the fucking yeah Mr Window helps me out.
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_07: But you know just like little things like that like you want to be a part of a show but like could you be a part of the show?
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_01: You know come Friday you said Bobby's gonna help us with the door like things like that when when we have other comics that are in it and they are like man in order for this comedy show to go smooth let's make sure that you know yeah but also with that like she's saying if you're helping and you're hand and you're like you're you're you're being helpful and you're not a handful like people are going to want you over it right yes If you're like hey this dude's a legit person hey man I need some help can you help me out yeah yeah man I got you this or whatever and like the people who are obviously you're not meshing with it's hard for the for for you to invite them out to number one do a show but even if you if you can't like show love yeah like Tina's saying like it's gonna be hard.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_00: So whenever Tina books me I was like hey whatever you need let me know like I mean well you show up sometimes too without even and be like hey what did you need whatever like it's just those kinds of things and and like when you realize how hard it is to produce or book or even just be at an open mic sometimes it's just like man the sound wasn't working we're missing this we're missing that it's like oh my goodness yeah speaking of open mics I was gonna cut you you off earlier when you're saying the the um the schedule for open mics me and Jesus have been talking about starting a clean open mic so I'm putting it out there here if anybody has a venue they want to let us start a clean open mic could be there man oh my god if anybody has a venue doesn't mind and it doesn't need to be a church the way yeah yeah the way I look at it sorry it's okay I'm kidding go go go go go for it no go for it go for it now like like I feel like because okay we were talking on on our episode like if you can do clean comedy you can you can do it in any room right and it's like why not have a clean room in our city to help the comics get better yeah that's honestly honestly I I I haven't booked very many people on my clean show from locally only because I've never seen anybody do eight minutes clean right legit clean if they can do it fine I mean of course I'd love to see it right because it I mean the venue wants it strictly clean which is awesome right but I'm looking for a venue who's gonna be okay with somebody that doesn't go over the line or somebody that does go over the line on accident.
• 54:45
  SPEAKER_01: Well that's just that's fine like right a venue is going to be like okay you guys are hosting a clean open mic um if somebody does go over the line we're not gonna kick you out for for that right so I mean we talked about that a while back thinking that okay since we're doing clean shows we need to have a clean open mic even if it is bi week whatever I think and that's what you get from the different mics that we have so like Miguelito on Monday he has the topology they do a bucket pool.
• 55:10
  SPEAKER_07: A lot of them will have a theme going on sometimes at Artisan we'll have something like okay today we're talking about New Year's resolutions and so everybody that goes up is going to share you know something about that didn't necessarily you know and and like I said having those um I don't want to say like workshops or maybe just a like a writing session where we do talk about etiquette because if you want to get booked you maybe you should have a clean five to ten minutes.
• 55:34
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe maybe if you can get through a set without the F-word maybe no n-word things like that like N-word in this town clean are we just talking about language are we talking about subject matter is innuendo acceptable right like yeah clean doesn't mean the same thing to everybody is has always I work clean I I work casinos where I have to work clean I or you know I do court I do corporate work where I have to do clean private shit.
• 56:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's for some people it's hard to clean up a dirty joke but it's just you you know you take you take the language out now now some places are even more sensitive to that like no don't even we don't even want to talk about you know no politics no religion no sex no bad words you know maybe if you have a type a type of clean show you have it people that don't normally come to it they know what to expect and not so much oh this is a church or yeah no and that's that's that's that's kind of what where that clean that mic comes through right that clean clean that clean open mic comes in where it's like hey this is how they want it at this show and if you want to work clean um cool like you can run like run your stuff here at open mic how many if you don't want to stick to the guidelines that's cool too but I also think if an eight minute clean set isn't gonna hurt anybody like that oh it will help for sure how many comments if you can't if you if you can't if you can't clean up your set uh for eight minutes where it's the go back to the the drawing board and I show what what what are you talking about is funny to you and there may be some people that are like I don't want to do that it limits my voice that's what I'm asking too like speech and what I say to that is okay cool that's fine.
• 57:29
  SPEAKER_01: No harm no foul.
• 57:30
  SPEAKER_01: I hope your next show sells out like honestly like I hope everybody's show sells out because comedy's so big right now.
• 57:38
  SPEAKER_07: With a stage elite name name like mine it you know it's like what do you expect you know but I do have clean I do have a clean set where I am able to go and do that but that came over time so I think if someone like Lito wouldn't have told me like hey you should still be able to do that joke just instead of saying that use this word instead and you can still just it's little tweaks little writing sessions little advice like that from other comics that have been in there.
• 58:03
  SPEAKER_00: So Tina La Cosina is your cocina yeah Tina La Torta that one's all Mexican menu item jokes yeah we had a I got a question from Miguelito he he commented actually on the post that I made earlier in the week he says as all three individuals with varying levels of experience in comedy what are common misconceptions people often have about comedy and corpus christi or com comedy in general what's up uh Wendell and Corpus Christi comedy on the Facebook page Corpus Christi Comedy says but I would love my mom and family to be able to come and me not worry about what they're going to hear.
• 58:43
  SPEAKER_03: I love that idea of having a clean spot on that like how many comics would actually want to try clean I don't know you know what I mean we won't know until we is there is there like a margin you might find all new comics we used we at one point we had a group of of comics were you part of that Daniel Benavidi Daniel uh Nick Vivaldi Vivaldi were yeah um I'm apologize if I'm messing your name Delgado John McDermott it was a it was a little collection of about four or five guys that were Christians and they were I think Trey too right they were doing comedy I don't remember if Trey ran with them or not you know and they did they did their their own thing for for for for a minute you know um some people you know fade out of comedy they they you know life jobs you know you know family whatever you know but um I think it's you know so it so you know it it really is in comedy it really is a build it and they will come yeah situation you know and that's that's the same thing I was thinking too if we host this mic I'm I'm I have a feeling some new people will pop up yeah there there might be some some some little church boy somewhere that really wants to do comedy look look looks up to these Christian comics and doesn't know where he can go do it here in Corpus but he'll see Leto hey well Leto's do this guy's doing uh open mic at um coffee wave or wherever they can come to me like they come to Hobby at my team I'll be like don't talk about nobody's mama you know and I know you can't do it because it's like you know ten commandments and all that the advice to me when I started my my first mic we only had like five or six comics in corpus and he you know he was like hey just go go to the venue and tell them you have like 10 comics you know I was like well we only have like five or six he goes lie and hope that the other four show up four didn't show up yeah nice man wow so what so why do y'all keep doing this what the hell is wrong with y'all like like why do you keep what keeps you going yeah like you could I mean what keeps you going you don't have to be here talking about it you know what I mean like you don't have to be at the show on the like why like what's the well what's the what's the you know Tony asked me what's so special for like what do you got I'm like I just got comedy what did you say I I can say all the states and all the dude I do know what's last Wyoming yes I learned it I learned it's no I learned it in the fifth grade in Robstown right in you forty you have to know this grade I know all the carabba year versus code grade you have to learn four we teach you math to okay oh my god it seemed like y'all were on on a different line when he was asking you the questions you were thinking I was and he was on another yeah it was weird that I was like oh okay he's not asking this he's asked her thing was like I'm I'm gonna try not to get got I'm trying not to get like one over on me and they were just asking simple questions and she was like I was waiting way too nervous I shouldn't have gone first I I wish maybe one person would have gone up before me I think I wouldn't someone did go before you I didn't get to see them they caught me while the You had the golden ticket winner.

  SPEAKER_01: Damn awesome man yeah I guess I don't know I don't know we're talking about all kinds of stuff man this is awesome uh being versatile in a comedy scene whether it's clean or raw is totally understandable says Wendell Williams damn right Window yeah did y'all see Window at uh the Nate Jackson show yeah I did yeah I was there three of the shows Window hosted all three did a killer job very professional did his material got plenty of laughs nice it was great it was a great night for Wendow I was happy to see him up there that was good yeah had y'all seen a show at that La Stanza before yeah we used to do shows at La Stanza no so yeah we had they mesquite had it at La Stanza um it seats a good amount of people it's a small it's it's a it's a big room um I I enjoy it I enjoy I got married on that stage well not that they rebuilt the stage but in theory I got married in that in La Stanza on the comedy stage yeah the comedy stage nice that venue is nice upstairs is my favorite the uh at mesquite I love the the vibe there um how many people fit in there it's just it's gonna be a great time on Friday we used to fit more no now it's only six 60 right I think 60 is just right I I really do that thing was like a sardine can that place was fire though bro oh dude I imagine that yeah but that's the old man in me I missed the old days that place was that place was magic when we hit when we had seats along along the wall and I cracked why don't we do that it's gonna get like that on party think so because yes it's an old building and uh Corker's got some little big property I wasn't gonna say anything about it bear claws two in a cabin they get lodged the average the average uh sum of a person just put it that way um no but it is a great room everybody who comes to town everybody who's from out of town that comes to town and goes to that spot upstairs they're like man it's this room feels like a room in New York yes it's small all the New York comics yeah love that room this room like a room in New York it's amazing like you guys like really got a sweet room up here so yeah yeah I I love that room I mean yeah I saw I saw the first time at uh Dolly's birthday party last month yes yeah I was like what did you think about it yeah compared to the open mics you've been to dude all dark all on the outside and the lights just on the

  SPEAKER_03: I I want to taggy bit is definitely you can go see it in San Antonio.
• 1:06:34
  SPEAKER_03: I'm working on taking it to San Antonio.
• 1:06:36
  SPEAKER_03: Um, because I may or may not live there.
• 1:06:38
  SPEAKER_03: Uh and uh I I I talked to uh mesquite.
• 1:06:44
  SPEAKER_03: Um I'm we're gonna see how this Friday goes, and I'll make up my mind if Taggy Bit will be continue there at Mesquite or if I'll have to find another home for it.
• 1:06:53
  SPEAKER_03: Um but but I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna bring it back.
• 1:06:57
  SPEAKER_03: It's a good way to to uh do my part to to help uh some of these comics uh fine-tune some things.
• 1:07:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:04
  SPEAKER_01: And I like shows like that because that's like inside baseball.
• 1:07:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, right?
• 1:07:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's like watching the donuts being made.
• 1:07:11
  SPEAKER_03: Comedy fans like it.
• 1:07:12
  SPEAKER_03: Like like Mr.
• 1:07:13
  SPEAKER_03: Lungar, he he he he he watches he watches comedy a lot.
• 1:07:17
  SPEAKER_03: He watches my comedy a lot, and it's a chat, you know, they get it.
• 1:07:21
  SPEAKER_03: They like seeing the the the you know the nuts and bolts of of things, and it it is it's it's live joke writing on stage in a kind of softer way than than you know.
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_03: I feel like roasting's all good and well, and it has its time and place, but but there's also a way to to build up you you you know rather than just tear down all of that.
• 1:07:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I like that.
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I think tagging tagging stuff and helping people out, just the little tweaks really will improve someone's set.
• 1:07:52
  SPEAKER_01: Like I mean, we were just firing back and forth on a text text thread, and then somebody threw something out, and the next thing you know, there's like five tags on it, and we're all laughing at one thing and what it what it ended up becoming.
• 1:08:02
  SPEAKER_01: So for for a show, a full show to do that with a bunch of different comics, I know I'd definitely take a bit that I've like I've been sitting on that I can't figure out or don't know where to go from it.
• 1:08:13
  SPEAKER_01: And I'd run that too, and just figure it out.
• 1:08:16
  SPEAKER_03: I was on the but listen, you but you have to be dirty.
• 1:08:19
  SPEAKER_03: That's what we're gonna do.
• 1:08:19
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my god.
• 1:08:21
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna talk about doing laundry.
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:08:30
  SPEAKER_01: I just talk about my wife and kids.
• 1:08:32
  SPEAKER_01: So if you guys want to hear me talking about my wife and kids.
• 1:08:38
  SPEAKER_01: No, I mean, I do stuff.
• 1:08:41
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, of course I have silly thoughts sometimes, right?
• 1:08:44
  SPEAKER_01: But I can't run with a silly thought.
• 1:08:45
  SPEAKER_01: I really have to sit down.
• 1:08:47
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, if I want to work on it, I probably should.
• 1:08:51
  SPEAKER_01: But I mean, the stuff that comes easier for me is telling stories, talking about myself, my family, getting older, living in South Texas.
• 1:08:59
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm hitting 40.
• 1:09:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:09:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I don't know who else is 40, but for me, it's it's been a mess.
• 1:09:05
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm I'm talking about that now.
• 1:09:07
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, being a dad, being a stepdad.
• 1:09:11
  SPEAKER_01: I still have a mentality of a 17-year-old, so it's kind of hard like to realize, oh, okay, guess what?
• 1:09:18
  SPEAKER_01: You're an adult, let's step your game up, right?
• 1:09:21
  SPEAKER_01: So I mean, that's that's what I that's what I find is easiest for me to talk about, so that's why that's why I talk about that for the most part.
• 1:09:30
  SPEAKER_01: And luckily for me, people tell me, hey, I can relate.
• 1:09:33
  SPEAKER_01: Like, hey, I relate with that.
• 1:09:34
  SPEAKER_00: Is that what is that what you shoot for?
• 1:09:36
  SPEAKER_00: Like, for for your audience to be to relate to your comedy, or is it just no, I I shoot for like, is this story funny?
• 1:09:44
  SPEAKER_01: Like, is this funny?
• 1:09:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like, let's try it.
• 1:09:46
  SPEAKER_01: And there have been times where I'm like, this is funny, and I tell the story and nobody likes it.
• 1:09:51
  SPEAKER_00: Crazy.
• 1:09:51
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, all right.
• 1:09:52
  SPEAKER_01: So I got two options, throw it away, or try it in a different crowd and different environments or rearrange it, retell the story, or put the pieces together in a different way to till it till it works.
• 1:10:04
  SPEAKER_01: Because if I feel like something's funny, I'm not I'm not gonna quit on it, right?
• 1:10:07
  SPEAKER_01: Until like I get it.
• 1:10:08
  SPEAKER_01: Interesting, and or until the the or until the audience gets where I'm what I'm what I'm coming from.
• 1:10:14
  SPEAKER_00: And so when you try to make something funny, that's harder.
• 1:10:17
  SPEAKER_00: Do you find so you don't try to make something funny?
• 1:10:21
  SPEAKER_00: I don't you found that out, like have you found that out of the way.
• 1:10:23
  SPEAKER_01: No, I've I found that out along the way, right?
• 1:10:26
  SPEAKER_01: Like I can't I can't make something funny.
• 1:10:28
  SPEAKER_01: Like I've tried.
• 1:10:29
  SPEAKER_01: Like say this about or talk about this or talk about that.
• 1:10:33
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah, I have little bits of it, but I I can't.
• 1:10:37
  SPEAKER_01: There's no meat and potatoes, and it doesn't feel organic.
• 1:10:40
  SPEAKER_00: So most times it has it's gotta be funny to you.
• 1:10:42
  SPEAKER_01: It's gotta be funny to me.
• 1:10:44
  SPEAKER_01: And that's there's for me, it's like, okay, what's my perspective on this or that?
• 1:10:49
  SPEAKER_01: And this is what I think is funny about do you guys think so too?
• 1:10:53
  SPEAKER_01: And if they can relate, a lot of people do this number when you start in the joke, like, all right, here we are.
• 1:10:58
  SPEAKER_01: And if they laugh, I'm like, okay, it's funny.
• 1:11:01
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, like it's funny because they're laughing, regardless.
• 1:11:04
  SPEAKER_00: So is it like traditional, like setup?
• 1:11:06
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't seem like traditional setup punchline.
• 1:11:08
  SPEAKER_00: I've been doing more storytelling than anything.
• 1:11:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's so crazy, bro.
• 1:11:11
  SPEAKER_00: You might you might think it's just you set up and then punch.
• 1:11:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it seems like for me, those are like they're like corny when I try like if I try to do a setup and punchline, it doesn't seem like my natural voice.
• 1:11:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 1:11:24
  SPEAKER_07: Do you is that me, and that's why I should have had a different 60 seconds because I'm a storyteller too.
• 1:11:29
  SPEAKER_07: I'm like, this happened and this is I was on my way to work, or I was talking to my mom and I'm leading up.
• 1:11:35
  SPEAKER_07: It's storytelling when if you have the opportunity a 60-second elevator pitch, you gotta, you know, maybe a one line or something quicker.
• 1:11:43
  SPEAKER_07: So yeah, I guess it depends.
• 1:11:45
  SPEAKER_07: It depends on, you know, if you're hosting, if it's just a guest spot, or if you're, you know, a headliner where you know you have time to do the storytelling.
• 1:11:52
  SPEAKER_07: So if you're, you know, hey, you got 60 seconds, don't do a whole story like that was my mistake.
• 1:11:58
  SPEAKER_07: But if you have an opportunity to be like, you know what, I'm gonna tell this story, and then it's gonna lead into this, and then I get to do a callback, and it's all part of the writing process when you are working out a joke.
• 1:12:09
  SPEAKER_00: So do you have so how did you get how did you get over like telling the story and not trying to rush to get to the laugh?
• 1:12:18
  SPEAKER_00: And did the did you like once you were not getting the laughs, it was like, oh shoot, I need to figure something out to make them laugh at this point.
• 1:12:24
  SPEAKER_00: But I think that's where the tags come in.
• 1:12:26
  SPEAKER_07: That's where the tags come in.
• 1:12:27
  SPEAKER_07: So I could start a story, and I'm like, I know what I was gonna say was gonna be funny, but if there's not other things to add to it, or you know, okay, and then you work it out at an open mic.
• 1:12:35
  SPEAKER_07: So I started this, and then when you get off stage, some are like, hey, add bits to this, or yeah, the tortilla's this and that, and you you start adding a little bit to it.
• 1:12:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
• 1:12:45
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever I get feedback, it's like they'll so they'll sometimes people will just be like, Okay, cool, good job.
• 1:12:50
  SPEAKER_00: Like, and what like well, what do you like about this, this, and that, or whatever?
• 1:12:54
  SPEAKER_00: So it's almost like you're kind of trying to figure it out blind, you know what I mean?
• 1:12:58
  SPEAKER_00: Without that type of advice, which is your idea sounds really cool, where you can like stop them in a joke.
• 1:13:04
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you can add this.
• 1:13:05
  SPEAKER_07: I did his, and and yeah, you recorded it.
• 1:13:08
  SPEAKER_07: So it was cool to go back and watch where I'm doing the joke that I've done over and over at mics and shows or whatever, and he's like, uh, real quick, add this real quick to it.
• 1:13:18
  SPEAKER_07: So yeah, yeah, it it is, and I think that that's a great part to help a writer grow and help your jokes um flourish more.
• 1:13:26
  SPEAKER_00: And and seems like how you how your philosophy is like you have to practice it live or in front of people to pe piece it together that way.
• 1:13:37
  SPEAKER_03: Like I said, I I do a lot of consulting now with touring comics, and you know, boy, I kind of came up with this metaphor at a comic, came around here, and and he spent about a week down here, and we worked together and got his hour ready for for his next tour.
• 1:13:56
  SPEAKER_03: And um, you know, I was telling him I go, you know, every joke's conceptual until you put it on stage, right?
• 1:14:02
  SPEAKER_03: It's uh kind of like building a boat, uh right?
• 1:14:05
  SPEAKER_03: You don't build a boat in in the water.
• 1:14:08
  SPEAKER_03: You you know you you you know how a boat works, you you know that you're building the boat correctly, but you don't really know if the boat floats until you put it in the fucking water, right?
• 1:14:18
  SPEAKER_03: And and and and so so the joke doesn't have a life until you've said it on stage.
• 1:14:24
  SPEAKER_03: It's just it's just a concept until a joke in a sink or float.
• 1:14:28
  SPEAKER_03: But now now some of us are better at conceptualizing our jokes than others, right?
• 1:14:34
  SPEAKER_03: As as a novice, you might have a joke at home and you think, man, this joke is I remember my joke that was like bro, and you get up and you get up there and it's like what no one got it, and and and because of your limited experience, now you don't know how to get out of it, you don't you know, um, versus um versus the more experienced comic, like I think I told you on the last time I was on here.
• 1:15:01
  SPEAKER_03: I don't write a joke that I don't know.
• 1:15:03
  SPEAKER_03: The joke's gonna work.
• 1:15:05
  SPEAKER_03: Every every joke, the joke's going to work.
• 1:15:08
  SPEAKER_03: It's just it's just a matter of of okay, have I tagged have I tagged it up yet?
• 1:15:14
  SPEAKER_03: Have have you know, am I gonna add an act out here?
• 1:15:17
  SPEAKER_03: The delivery, everything.
• 1:15:18
  SPEAKER_03: It's never it's never a question is is it's gonna float.
• 1:15:22
  SPEAKER_03: The boat's gonna float.
• 1:15:24
  SPEAKER_03: We eat pork chops nuts, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:15:29
  SPEAKER_03: You know, you know, and to go, I think we had this conversation after pod, you know, and that that's the difference between, you know, uh, in my opinion, a pro-level comic.
• 1:15:37
  SPEAKER_03: You know, asked about the the growth tonight, you know, you know, uh you know, if you want if you want to perform at a pro level, your worst night's gotta be better than all the amateurs' best night.
• 1:15:50
  SPEAKER_03: If not, you ain't there yet.
• 1:15:52
  SPEAKER_03: It's just that simple.
• 1:15:56
  SPEAKER_03: And Wednesday night, uh, you know, and I'm not trying to be an asshole.
• 1:16:02
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't remember what I didn't remember what you were talking about because I was shooting from the hip for half of it.
• 1:16:06
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I think it was maybe about six, seven minutes in before I got to one of my I did three of my newer jokes, you know, and closed out.
• 1:16:15
  SPEAKER_03: It, you know, it's it's it's just what it is.
• 1:16:18
  SPEAKER_03: Like, like none I didn't end on a closer.
• 1:16:21
  SPEAKER_03: That was one of my opening jokes that I closed on.
• 1:16:23
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it's just what the way it works.
• 1:16:27
  SPEAKER_06: Who do you think you'd leave?
• 1:16:28
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, it's uh this is my my biggest life, my biggest I like to hear Hobby talk, think out loud.
• 1:16:36
  SPEAKER_03: My biggest regret in life is that I'll never get to see myself perform live.
• 1:16:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just freestyle nothing.
• 1:16:47
  SPEAKER_01: I was in what they call a flow state.
• 1:16:50
  SPEAKER_01: You heard LeBron James say that?
• 1:16:57
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, I would like to tell y'all what happened on Wednesday, but I wasn't there.
• 1:17:03
  SPEAKER_01: The words are coming out of my mouth, but I don't know what's going on.
• 1:17:08
  SPEAKER_00: So crazy, man.
• 1:17:09
  SPEAKER_00: So you that that's interesting.
• 1:17:11
  SPEAKER_00: Do you do you film yourself?
• 1:17:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like, do y'all have to you feel like you gotta film yourself and record yourself to make your set better?
• 1:17:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'm bad at that.
• 1:17:18
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously.
• 1:17:18
  SPEAKER_01: I don't film myself, the crowd films for me.
• 1:17:22
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, yeah, that makes sense.
• 1:17:25
  SPEAKER_03: A couple of them do.
• 1:17:26
  SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, I mean, I film my if if it's a good if it's a good venue, good sound, good lighting.
• 1:17:32
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I don't film myself for the purpose of let me review it, kind of kind of thing.
• 1:17:38
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I it's always like, oh, is there potential to get a good clip from this?
• 1:17:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, okay, okay.
• 1:17:46
  SPEAKER_00: Put it on social media and stuff like that.
• 1:17:48
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm bad about that.
• 1:17:49
  SPEAKER_00: And we talked about what burning material last time.
• 1:17:52
  SPEAKER_03: Do y'all do asked about that?
• 1:17:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I asked him about that last time.
• 1:17:56
  SPEAKER_00: Do y'all feel like do y'all feel like you avoid like putting your material on to social media?
• 1:18:01
  SPEAKER_01: I have a I have a big issue with not recording myself at all, right?
• 1:18:06
  SPEAKER_01: And I would I I thought like that for years, right?
• 1:18:10
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't want to put this on stage because I mean these people will see me and they're gonna see it on on Facebook, and then they're gonna come to the show and I'm gonna say the exact same joke.
• 1:18:20
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and then I recently posted one from my last time at the coffee shop, and I mean the little clip went well, right?
• 1:18:27
  SPEAKER_01: Added all the captions, did all the cool things, like the the guys who were like grinding or doing.
• 1:18:32
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and I put it out there, and I had people from out of state that are family members, like, hey, I didn't even know like you were that funny.
• 1:18:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like, or your your jokes are so structured, you're actually like you say you do comedy, but I didn't realize you do comedy.
• 1:18:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so I was like, All right, maybe I do need to record myself by a microphone.
• 1:18:51
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't take much to post one minute of something that's funny, put it out there just regularly, just to and for me, like you said, I would never do it.
• 1:19:01
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't want to burn anything, but now I'm at the point to where it's like, all right, the internet's way bigger than my one minute, right?
• 1:19:07
  SPEAKER_01: And if people are gonna come, they're gonna complain about one minute.
• 1:19:10
  SPEAKER_01: Like, come on, dude, I'll used to 20 minutes.
• 1:19:12
  SPEAKER_01: One minute of it's gonna be something you saw three weeks ago on your Facebook.
• 1:19:18
  SPEAKER_03: If all you got is that if all you got worth clipping, is that one minute you're you're in bigger trouble.
• 1:19:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:19:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you said that last time, right?
• 1:19:25
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, if all you have is one minute, you're worried that uh people are gonna I know it's a bullshit session and we kind of been jumping around, but did we answer you asked about misconceptions?
• 1:19:33
  SPEAKER_03: I feel like too.
• 1:19:34
  SPEAKER_03: No, yeah.
• 1:19:35
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, that was Miguel's question.
• 1:19:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, about misconception.
• 1:19:38
  SPEAKER_03: Answer Miguelito's question.
• 1:19:39
  SPEAKER_03: Uh not so much about I feel like people that aren't in comedy um have this misconception, and a lot of comedians have this misconception until they until they realize it for themselves, and they think that uh comedy is being funny.
• 1:19:56
  SPEAKER_03: When really that's just uh a small part of it.
• 1:19:59
  SPEAKER_03: Being funny is something we all do.
• 1:20:01
  SPEAKER_03: There's a fun there the funniest person you know probably would make a horrible comedian.
• 1:20:08
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, being comedy is communicating what is funny.
• 1:20:14
  SPEAKER_03: If you are if you are a good communicator and you have a great sense of humor, you you have the building blocks to be a comedian.
• 1:20:22
  SPEAKER_03: If you can if you cannot paint that picture with your words, with your body, with your tone, with everything that you have, you can't be a comedian.
• 1:20:31
  SPEAKER_03: You might be fucking funny, right?
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_03: But can you get up there and and come and command that room, all eyes on me?
• 1:20:38
  SPEAKER_03: Can you tell that five-minute story that only has one big punchline and and and hold them, right?
• 1:20:46
  SPEAKER_03: But you know, Dave Chappelle doesn't need to have 30 punchlines in his joke because he's earned that trust from his audience.
• 1:20:55
  SPEAKER_03: They will sit there and they will hang on every word because they know it's coming.
• 1:21:00
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 1:21:00
  SPEAKER_03: When you get up there as an open open micer, you haven't earned that trust from anybody, right?
• 1:21:06
  SPEAKER_03: Which is why your store your long ass story doesn't work.
• 1:21:10
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 1:21:10
  SPEAKER_03: Even even myself as a as a quote unquote established comic.
• 1:21:14
  SPEAKER_03: When I get up when I'm opening for X, Y, and Z, that audience doesn't know who I am.
• 1:21:19
  SPEAKER_03: They didn't pay for the ticket to see me.
• 1:21:22
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 1:21:22
  SPEAKER_03: I have to spend the first five minutes on stage hitting them and hitting them and hitting them.
• 1:21:28
  SPEAKER_03: So now they know, oh, this dude's fucking funny.
• 1:21:30
  SPEAKER_03: Now I can tell me a long ass story, and they're like, hold on, hold on.
• 1:21:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we saw him the first five minutes.
• 1:21:35
  SPEAKER_03: He's hilarious.
• 1:21:36
  SPEAKER_03: Let him go.
• 1:21:38
  SPEAKER_03: Let him go.
• 1:21:38
  SPEAKER_03: Let's see what he got.
• 1:21:39
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 1:21:40
  SPEAKER_03: And and you bit and you build that that trust that way.
• 1:21:43
  SPEAKER_03: But it's um it's comedy.
• 1:21:45
  SPEAKER_03: Comedy is more than just being funny, it's it's it's a lot more about how you communicate and perform.
• 1:21:51
  SPEAKER_03: Wow, interesting.
• 1:21:53
  SPEAKER_00: Common miscon misconceptions uh about comedy and corpus or comedy in general.
• 1:22:00
  SPEAKER_00: What'd y'all think?
• 1:22:01
  SPEAKER_00: What did y'all think when you first got on the scene?
• 1:22:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what did you did you expect a certain thing?
• 1:22:05
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you guys started a long time ago with with only like one mic or no mics at all?
• 1:22:10

  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so I was like 2013, I believe, or the beginning of 2013 or end of 2013, one of those.
• 1:22:32
  SPEAKER_01: But my thing was like, Oh, I wish there were more mics.
• 1:22:34
  SPEAKER_01: I wish there were more mics.
• 1:22:35
  SPEAKER_01: Now that there are more mics, I'm just like, all right, y'all have fun.

  SPEAKER_01: Like I put it out.
• 1:24:40
  SPEAKER_01: There's my body of work.
• 1:24:41
  SPEAKER_01: Like, cool.
• 1:24:42
  SPEAKER_01: Like it is what it is, right?
• 1:24:43
  SPEAKER_07: I'm inspired because I don't have anything out.
• 1:24:46
  SPEAKER_03: They get they gotta see it.
• 1:24:47
  SPEAKER_03: And now maybe the special is not not not uh as as important, right?
• 1:24:51
  SPEAKER_03: Because it's all special.
• 1:24:56
  SPEAKER_03: So it's there, but but it to go back to what Lito's saying, it's definitely it's it's a big deal to lead by example, especially when you got kids watching you, right?
• 1:25:04
  SPEAKER_03: Like my oldest is 18 years old, he'll be 19 next month.
• 1:25:08
  SPEAKER_03: I started he was four years old when I started comedy.
• 1:25:10
  SPEAKER_03: He's my only one of my kids that has ever lived in a world where dad didn't do comedy.
• 1:25:16
  SPEAKER_03: Even my uh second is 12 years old.
• 1:25:19
  SPEAKER_03: By the time he was born, I was already working the road.
• 1:25:23
  SPEAKER_03: So he doesn't know a world where I didn't do comedy.
• 1:25:25
  SPEAKER_03: But what more importantly than them getting to see me do comedy, they my oldest used to go on stage with me when I was hosting open mic at Mesquite every week, you know.
• 1:25:35
  SPEAKER_03: Um, is they got to see the sacrifices, they got to see the work that goes into following your dream.
• 1:25:41
  SPEAKER_03: They got to see, oh, dad's a comedian, but dad also sometimes he has to drive Uber and substitute Teach and he sells tamales and prints t-shirts and and uh hands out hands out hands out cards, still still actually.
• 1:26:06
  SPEAKER_03: You know, and they saw everything and they were with me through through all that.
• 1:26:10
  SPEAKER_03: And they're that you're you know, your the dream does not come free ever, ever, ever.
• 1:26:17
  SPEAKER_03: You have to work, and you still you you still have responsibilities, you still have obligations, and and and when they get to see the fruit of all that work, you know, then you really taught them something, right?
• 1:26:28
  SPEAKER_03: Because now they're gonna have a dream, whether it be comedy, whether it be having a band, playing a sport, whatever it is, and just owning their own business, they're gonna have to realize that I'm gonna have to make sacrifices just like just like dad or mom or dia or whatever, you know.
• 1:26:45
  SPEAKER_03: Torta, thank you.
• 1:26:50
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think going back to like that's a good character right there.
• 1:26:53
  SPEAKER_01: Going back to the uh misconceptions in corpus comedy is that corpus is too small for for all of us.
• 1:26:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's it's not true.
• 1:27:01
  SPEAKER_01: We don't have our own audience, right?
• 1:27:02
  SPEAKER_01: Corpus is not too small for three shows in one night.
• 1:27:06
  SPEAKER_01: One in Flower Bluff, one on Alameda, one downtown, right?
• 1:27:11
  SPEAKER_01: Like Southside, nobody even said Southside, right?
• 1:27:13
  SPEAKER_01: Or one on Southside, right?
• 1:27:15
  SPEAKER_01: Or one on McCardo or wherever, wherever it's at.
• 1:27:17
  SPEAKER_01: Like Corpus is is big enough to where we can all get a hundred people in a room on a Saturday night, on a Valentine's night.
• 1:27:24
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, absolutely, or on an art walk night, right?
• 1:27:26
