- 3:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:46SPEAKER_02: So is there any correlation between horror and comedy?
- 3:50SPEAKER_02: I think so.
- 3:51SPEAKER_02: I think so.
- 3:52SPEAKER_08: I feel like all horror movies have some part where it's like a funny part or something to kind of alleviate the mood before they give you the big scare.
- 4:00SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 4:00SPEAKER_08: So I feel like they go hand in hand.
- 4:02SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: An American World in London.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: That's a funny, scary movie.
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: Hey, nice.
- 4:07SPEAKER_06: I mean, I thought Terrifier was hilarious.
- 4:09SPEAKER_06: I but I love gore and I'm just like, seriously.
- 4:12SPEAKER_06: Everybody's like girls, but they're like, Sometimes the gory ones are the funny ones.
- 4:19SPEAKER_06: It's always pulling out the intestine, and you're like, the girl's still alive?
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: Have you guys seen that uh that Y2K movie?
- 4:27SPEAKER_06: I don't think so.
- 4:28SPEAKER_06: The one on Netflix, was it Netflix?
- 4:29SPEAKER_00: No, it just came out of theaters.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: Oh, uh the the gore on that one is really fun.
- 4:34SPEAKER_04: Y2K?
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: It's like uh, you know, what if the robots did take over?
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, yeah, it's a good movie.
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: Not playing select theaters.
- 4:49SPEAKER_06: They need a uh cat shapy for that pro.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they need all they need help.
- 4:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so what's it what's what's it like for y'all being uh stand-up comics in Corpus?
- 4:58SPEAKER_05: Oh wow, yeah, it's good.
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: Oh man, it's it's pretty fun.
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: Uh you see like how big Corpus actually is compared to like other like small town cities like Alice or other place.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: Or how small it is compared to like Houston.
- 5:20SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 5:21SPEAKER_08: We're kind of like in the middle of that, you know, so we have a little bit of the best of both worlds of that in comedy.
- 5:27SPEAKER_06: Dude, I gotta give comedy like props because I when it was COVID and I was delivering pizzas, I was listening to my friends who were comics up in in uh New York, and uh Steven Rogers and uh Andrew Chabone and uh they're up and coming comics up there, and they're just talking they they run a uh panic attacking uh uh podcast.
- 5:48SPEAKER_06: So I was having a lot of anxiety during that kind of obviously, and they would just keep me motivated and keep me happy, and but then they would do little comedy sets, right?
- 5:56SPEAKER_06: And just seeing their process and doing it, like it was and they would talk about that, and of course, having anxiety and being a being a comic, like yeah, are you kidding?
- 6:05SPEAKER_06: How are you getting on stage?
- 6:06SPEAKER_08: I actually started right after the pandemic, because the pandemic scared me so much my work husband had passed away from ed Hicks.
- 6:20SPEAKER_08: I wasn't joking different things, and I was like, it's the end of the world if I could do this thing now and be serious about it.
- 6:28SPEAKER_08: I'm it's never gonna happen.
- 6:29SPEAKER_08: Like, time has run out.
- 6:30SPEAKER_08: And so, ever since then, I really just like pedal to the metal, wow, hit the gas on the comedy because of the pandemic.
- 6:37SPEAKER_08: Do y'all have like a process?
- 6:39SPEAKER_06: Because I know each comic has a different process of yeah, absolutely.
- 6:42SPEAKER_08: Uh I don't have it.
- 6:44SPEAKER_08: Oh, there it's in the car.
- 6:45SPEAKER_08: But pretty much where most people in Corpus Christi put their Bible, which is the dashboard of their car, like one of my comedy books like the little Jesus, the little Jesus bumblehead like the Bible, but it's little notebooks, right?
- 7:00SPEAKER_08: Where so like I won't get another notebook until I've filled one.
- 7:04SPEAKER_08: So I'm currently on this year's one, so I have four.
- 7:07SPEAKER_08: And like I try to go through one a year and fill it page to page with jokes.
- 7:13SPEAKER_08: How long have you been doing?
- 7:14SPEAKER_08: Since the pandemic, October 2020.
- 7:17SPEAKER_08: It's got the date.
- 7:18SPEAKER_08: Was when I finally like I had done it two or three years prior to that, but I was working in the car dealership and like the hours were crazy.
- 7:30SPEAKER_08: Wow.
- 7:30SPEAKER_08: It was tiring and different things, and I had maybe tried it once or twice, um, but it didn't stick because of all like you know, always trying to like on the grind selling cars.
- 7:42SPEAKER_08: And so finally, when the pandemic happened, I was like, you know what?
- 7:44SPEAKER_08: I don't even care.
- 7:47SPEAKER_08: They can fire me.
- 7:48SPEAKER_08: I'm the number one sales lady.
- 7:54SPEAKER_08: They didn't fire me.
- 7:55SPEAKER_08: I ended up quitting, but it all worked out.
- 8:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I am what's going on, Monarch361.
- 8:05SPEAKER_02: That's my brother.
- 8:06SPEAKER_02: And it's Ray on YouTube.
- 8:07SPEAKER_02: Thanks a lot, you guys, for joining.
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: Blake the Rino, thank you on Facebook.
- 8:10SPEAKER_02: Appreciate you.
- 8:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah, uh, Blake was actually talking about something controversial.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: I don't know if y'all want to get into that on uh El Vagos podcast.
- 8:18SPEAKER_05: Controversy.
- 8:20SPEAKER_05: Talk about it.
- 8:21SPEAKER_05: What's the you know?
- 8:22SPEAKER_02: You were on there, weren't you?
- 8:25SPEAKER_02: No, yeah.
- 8:26SPEAKER_02: Well, if y'all don't want to get to it, that's fine.
- 8:27SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't know what it is.
- 8:29SPEAKER_02: I mean, tell me down here what's that Well, I mean, it just I guess it's like any scene, you know what I mean?
- 8:35SPEAKER_02: Come comics or stand-up comics, there's there's like how do you say like groups, you know?
- 8:41SPEAKER_02: Oh, clicks, clicks and stuff like that.
- 8:44SPEAKER_02: And then his comments are regarding his comments were regarding certain venues in town.
- 8:51SPEAKER_02: Uh like this venue is this way towards these types of these comments.
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, for sure.
- 8:55SPEAKER_02: You see what I'm saying?
- 8:56SPEAKER_02: How do you how do you I mean how do you approach that or something?
- 8:58SPEAKER_00: That's that's here, that's in San Antonio, that's in here.
- 9:01SPEAKER_00: It's everywhere.
- 9:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 9:03SPEAKER_00: One of the highlights of uh being in comedy is reading about the drama that's happening in State.
- 9:09SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 9:10SPEAKER_08: They're located like cats or YouTube channels that are dedicated directly to drama happening in comedy scenes.
- 9:18SPEAKER_08: Like Austin, probably right now, is I'm sure ridiculously crazy.
- 9:24SPEAKER_08: But I think uh for Corpus, uh, even though we do have our differences and things like that, we still keep it very cordial.
- 9:32SPEAKER_08: We still all work together, regardless of that stuff.
- 9:35SPEAKER_08: I think sometimes some comics are holding on to some old feelings and things that may have happened way in the past that don't really um pertain to like the current generation of comics like me and stuff.
- 9:50SPEAKER_08: So it just um it really just depends on who you talk to and things like that.
- 9:54SPEAKER_08: I try to keep it as cordial as possible and try to give everyone an opportunity, you know, because I am involved with the mesquite.
- 10:00SPEAKER_08: I do, I work the door at the shows, I host the shows, I do the art walk comedy show right here downtown.
- 10:06SPEAKER_08: I try to make sure that I um, you know, have a good rotation of openers and try to give everybody at least one chance to come in and open and do the things and also bring other comics from San Antonio or Laredo or the Valley or whatever and come in and do showcases so that we could see the other comics from the other scenes as well.
- 10:25SPEAKER_08: So it's a constant rotation to stay on top of and things like that, and it's just we just got to keep moving forward and forget the past.
- 10:33SPEAKER_02: Doing all that stuff, I guess like hosting and doing all that stuff, is that part of the I guess part of the play for stand-up comics in in Corpus?
- 10:42SPEAKER_02: Like to to to do that, to be able to do that, or does it matter?
- 10:46SPEAKER_08: I I don't think that matters.
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, oh I I think so, you know, being a a good uh hosting makes you a better stand-up.
- 10:53SPEAKER_02: So I get in front of the crowd, get anxiety, yeah.
- 10:57SPEAKER_08: Anytime you're on the stage, definitely you're gonna, you know, gain some more, you know, knowledge points.
- 11:03SPEAKER_08: Uh, but that's the whole thing is everybody wants the stage time.
- 11:06SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 11:06SPEAKER_08: And that's the thing.
- 11:07SPEAKER_02: It seems like there's not enough where the drama starts because I'll put I'll pay you this much.
- 11:21SPEAKER_08: I'll put it to some people it might, you know, because I am such a get with me too, because I, you know, I'm not probably not the funniest one, and I'm probably not the hardest working one, but I'm gonna give it a try.
- 11:39SPEAKER_08: I came from Mexican immigrant families.
- 11:41SPEAKER_08: I'm the anchor baby of my family, and I don't know anything else besides go, go, go.
- 11:46SPEAKER_08: I'm gonna break it.
- 11:52SPEAKER_09: I was like, is Anna really gonna come out?
- 11:57SPEAKER_06: So you're running for uh politics.

- 13:25SPEAKER_08: Kathleen Madigan is someone who I want to model like her career instead of comedy and how she has things going on right now is kind of like the dream of what I want to capture.
- 13:36SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 13:37SPEAKER_08: And of course, April Macy, love her, she's uh such a fun person and really, really sweet and nice.

- 16:52SPEAKER_04: You know what?

- 17:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 17:55SPEAKER_00: And then it went to Draft House for a little bit, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 17:58SPEAKER_00: For a very little tiny bit.
- 18:00SPEAKER_06: That movie.
- 18:01SPEAKER_06: I suggest everyone see that.
- 18:03SPEAKER_06: It was like, I guess it was an underground movie.
- 18:05SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
- 18:06SPEAKER_06: They didn't promote it.
- 18:06SPEAKER_06: I didn't watch it not until like uh I saw people on Facebook posting, hey, you gotta watch the substance.
- 18:12SPEAKER_06: And I was like, what the hell?
- 18:13SPEAKER_06: So I looked it up and it said Debbie Moore.

- 18:36SPEAKER_06: I was in Austin, and he was he got on stage, start playing a guitar, and afterwards I was like, take a picture.
- 18:41SPEAKER_06: Oh man.
- 18:41SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it was awesome.
- 18:42SPEAKER_06: Um, but yeah, uh it talks about or kind of it's it's I guess it's kind of going off the whole Ozempic thing, people changing the way they look.
- 18:53SPEAKER_06: And Debbie Moore, you know, they offer her just like this kind of injection.
- 18:57SPEAKER_06: Uh spoiler alert.
- 19:01SPEAKER_08: Or movie about the Ozempic, and that was hilarious.
- 19:03SPEAKER_06: But I'm kind of like it's kind of but the ending is kind of like whoa.
- 19:07SPEAKER_06: It's a body horror classic now.
- 19:09SPEAKER_06: Yeah, because it's like now it's so like it's everybody that's watched it is like promoting it for them, and they're just like it is pretty crazy what what ends up happening.
- 19:18SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I don't want to give the ending away, but it is just like nothing.
- 19:21SPEAKER_06: Yeah, go check it out.
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: Substance not playing a select theater.
- 19:24SPEAKER_06: Yeah, there's a girl on Instagram that I found that literally did the costume that cosplayed the ending of she did the whole horror ending.
- 19:34SPEAKER_06: That's cool, and she did that for Halloween.
- 19:36SPEAKER_06: And I I mean, if y'all look it up, the substance.

- 19:43SPEAKER_06: Yeah, watch it because you'll you'll have something to talk about with your friends and yeah.
- 19:49SPEAKER_00: Uh I got nominated for a few Golden Globes, so that'd be crazy if it ends up like winning a bunch of Oscars.
- 19:55SPEAKER_00: For real.
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: That would be nuts.
- 19:56SPEAKER_06: Especially since it was like only in you know, that one AMC and then what jackets for that like wasn't even big.
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: Like just word of mouth, everyone's like, yo, just see that fucked up movie.

- 20:24SPEAKER_02: Oh man, it sucks, dude.
- 20:25SPEAKER_08: It's constant, and like you can't just go on one social media platform, whatever you post on Instagram, gotta go on Facebook, gotta go on TikToks, gotta go on Snapchat, gotta go everywhere.
- 20:37SPEAKER_08: OnlyFans included.
- 20:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I gotta promote on Grindr.
- 20:40SPEAKER_00: I gotta promote on Grindr.
- 20:41SPEAKER_00: It sucks.
- 20:42SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I literally use Tinder just to promote comedy, and I've pissed off so many different people like no, doing a comedy show, you need to pay ten dollars to get it.
- 20:57SPEAKER_00: If you want to see the rest of the show, baby.
- 21:01SPEAKER_02: Meet real life, hey whatever it's.

- 21:10SPEAKER_02: What's the end goal for sta?
- 21:12SPEAKER_02: I mean, is it different for everybody for stand-up comics?
- 21:14SPEAKER_02: Like uh Yeah.
- 21:16SPEAKER_00: I I guess some people won't be on Saturday Night Live, some people want to Netflix show.
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 21:21SPEAKER_00: Some people want to be on Loterman.
- 21:23SPEAKER_06: I want to know.
- 21:24SPEAKER_00: Lotterman's not a show anymore.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: Those guys are crazy.
- 21:27SPEAKER_02: Doing it doing it full time until I die in the grave.
- 21:30SPEAKER_08: Pretty much.
- 21:30SPEAKER_08: I want to be on the road.
- 21:31SPEAKER_08: I want to be like that.
- 21:32SPEAKER_08: Does it give you a high?
- 21:33SPEAKER_08: Does it give you guys a high?
- 21:35SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
- 21:36SPEAKER_08: Like anytime, um, especially when there's like a tight room.
- 21:39SPEAKER_00: Drugs do too.
- 21:40SPEAKER_08: The where the labs can be really trapped on a low ceiling in a dark room, and they all laugh at the same time and make this huge pop when everybody goes at the same time, it pops, it like almost like shoots you like like that.
- 21:55SPEAKER_08: It feels so good, like euphoric almost.
- 21:58SPEAKER_02: How did you find yourself getting over?
- 22:00SPEAKER_08: the like the nerves uh whenever you're well I went to Miller High School Center of Communic Communications uh Technology and performing visual arts so I've always been a performer and I've always been an entertainer and love uh entertaining people and those kinds of things so it was just a matter of channeling my high school self oh yeah and um just being like you've done this millions of times for more people so just do it like that I do get nervous after though like after I get off the stage I am like oh no you're you didn't say this and you didn't do that and you that's like critiquing yourself yes like that and then I need a little vodka shot to get me down and then I have to hit that's crazy but what happens whenever it's like silence what happens when it's like silent like they're not getting your bits or like you're I low key kind of love it I think because I think it's really funny that they're all there to laugh and I made them all not laugh well there's that's a pretty good bit you know like there's times that we go into an open mic and we're performing literally in front of only other comedians so they're really not paying attention to you at all at all you know so my goal when I first started and we had gone to an open mic at the Elbow Room San Antonio shout out cousin Bertho um literally it's all comedians and they're all in the back of the room the front is all empty and the whole time when I went up there I was like my goal is to get the people at the bar to stop ordering drinks the pool table to stop playing pool and for these comics to pick their head up off the off their notebooks.
- 23:50SPEAKER_08: And I was able to accomplish that goal I didn't get any laughs but I got them to pay attention harder and so that's the whole thing is like if I can get the bar to stop ordering drinks and the people to pick their head up off the thing then I've done it.
- 24:05SPEAKER_06: They don't have to necessarily laugh but they as long as they gave me their attention that's good enough that's good enough yeah that's nice is it easier is it easier in front of out of town crowds as opposed to local crowds uh yeah because they don't know your stuff so you can play all the hits you can tell you can tell them jokes that other people have made up you can tell them Ronnie Dangerfield jokes they don't know don't do that though jokes hey do you think like uh facial hair plays a role like in your like I guess as a stand up comedy yeah it's like every morning practice it's good um I don't think so no no I don't I don't know oh I don't think so yeah I I was listening to uh I think it was a workshop with uh Ralphie Mae and he was he was his thing was like to be clean shaven and like not wear a hat and uh we're not supposed to do stand-up comedy in shorts can't do stand-up comedy in the daytime really uh those types of things can't yeah we know but we know a guy who does it in Daisy Dukes and he rocks it's like I've worn shorts and and stuff as well but um like no chanklas you know things like that but dude I saw a girl that was like dressed like I seriously thought she was I saw her sitting in the table in front of me and I thought she was a stripper because she had stripper heels and like a stripper outfit then she went up there as a c like a comedian I was like oh shit but she wasn't funny San Antonio was up bro your your your Lincoln Park one was dude that one that one got me good oh yeah that was a good one did y'all hear did I barely learn about the Comic Sero Corpus because I was like I was I was watching my friends out in New York I was listening to them and their people and I barely started getting into liking comedy because I didn't even I wasn't a comedy my brother's more of a person that likes comedy I never I never thought I was like oh we're just gonna sit there and listen to somebody that like tell jokes or whatever but then I started like I was like dude no this stuff is kind of good I was all this is the shit so I'm starting I actually that was uh my second comedy show that I went to over there at Lazy Beach and Corinne the artist oh yeah Corinne loved Corinne yeah I met her at uh the painting with a twist oh yeah painting with her and then she's like oh yeah but I'm a uh comedian as well and somebody had posted uh about it the show and I was like let me go watch her so her and I I forgot the other girl's name but she was there and they were just like they were they're awesome you know the candy or Jenny the I I remember Sir saying I'm uh I might look like uh who's that chick that shot Selena Yolanda thought uh Danielle but yeah I think so so and uh I mean she was her were fire so I was just like hey this is Danielle Torres yeah I'm trying to find more but every time my friend invites me I'm uh Joe Hilliard he always invites me and I always have something going on so I never get to go but I'm trying to work around it next year I can see more comedy shows so I can see all comedy shows yeah that's why I want more tourism you know because corpus you know we it's a grind getting you guys to come out to the comedy shows please for the love of God come out to the comedy shows yeah like I was not I actually put like a heartfelt like uh uh request out there on my um social media saying hey what do we gotta do what do we as a community gotta do that people that do stuff like comedians uh me as events you with your podcast what do we gotta do for y'all to see but I think literally Instagram uh Facebook they're not sharing our stuff because people are not seeing our stuff till like weeks or days later like I honestly don't see a lot of stuff until like they want you to promote your stuff yeah and it's ridiculous because I mean they want you to pay so Facebook will allow you to see 0.15% of your friends for free.
- 28:00SPEAKER_08: So 0.15% of whatever amount so like let's say you have 3,000 followers that's probably 30 people that will be exposed to your thing that day for free.
- 28:10SPEAKER_08: After that they're gonna charge you for the rest.
- 28:12SPEAKER_06: Unless there's engagement like unless they naturally go to your page like and want to go and see what you're doing unless they naturally organically go to your page to see you then they're not yeah yeah no literally I have like a list of like the people that I try to like remember like okay they need more promotion because I saw them post the other day that these people aren't like I know the coffee uh the coffee mug I mean it's a Harry Potter coffee shock.
- 28:37SPEAKER_06: Come on guy that's oh yeah she started opening up late and she was just like hey it's been slow and stuff like that.
- 28:44SPEAKER_06: Luckily the community came through once she made that request and actually I had some people say hey why don't you try this this and this so I'm gonna try and incorporate that next year but it's just been a struggle for not just me so many other people um have talked about how hard it is to get that engagement to get people out there.
- 29:00SPEAKER_08: I mean it's just a simple share if you have and you can follow your people like you can make them your favorites yeah I mean yeah I think people the more people need to like if they're your friends hey I had a family member one time like you never invite me and I'm like look Mijito do you know how much you would break my heart if I went out of my way to make sure to look for you and or your actually your wife because you don't have Facebook so I have to look for your wife send her the flyer for this particular show and ask you to please please please come in and then you don't come yeah that would break my heart so much versus you just say we're off on a Friday go to my profile oh it's not that hard Jackie I'm Jackie to my family you know she's playing here today go there like that yeah yeah Blake I was talking about uh yeah the the different rules of like comedy and stuff how much it really applies uh Marcos Renee on YouTube says uh pay money for ads yeah Marcos says it count oh you know pay money for ads it just it's just like it makes me think about the importance of actually just getting out and going instead of because we're on social media all the time yeah yeah yeah like for art what helps me is that the art walk is going on so I will literally print flyers walk up to people personally and ask them to come to the show so I do have to like do some profiling like I don't want I'm not gonna approach a family with young children but if it's like a date night or a girls' night out or things like that a gaggle of guys a gaggle of gays hey come on come on in here's a flyer and then and I you know and usually uh most of them that I personally walk up to like that and if they don't have anything going on they they come through yeah you know but the art walk really helps because the streets are packed yes yeah they have no and that's what's wonderful that I'm able to I'm really able to bark up the the crowd versus you know like a night like tonight yeah where I think only the bus had like a crowd of people over there and they were already there for like some sort of event.
- 31:05SPEAKER_08: Right yeah it's so strange there's a bunch of events everywhere all spread out and it seems like there's only so many people for so many events you know so it's it yeah the money spread everywhere you know I occasionally Uber drive and I remember like the Creed concert right I was Uber driving I dropped off some people but literally the city completely was desolate for the time that the that the creed culture was on the creed but they can't come see you know like I remember like I picked up a guy from Twin Peaks and he was like here yeah I I put on free shows and it's still difficult to get people to come says Aaron Caranza.
- 31:45SPEAKER_06: Yeah follow on come to our shows yes Aaron does you know he's got the each if you guys are on Facebook tag two people or if you're on YouTube tag two people for a chance to get 40 store credit yeah it's regional dot com I have some of your stickers and I gave it to my star couple of my a couple of them to my Starbucks check out the show give me a sticker oh yeah oh you were all you were salty because what were we saying because people could go see creative they can go because that's the thing it's like they they people and I'm not trying to be salty but I'll be salty is that yeah they they see like all these like big name people or whatever and it's like yeah they could put on a show but how they should have no they come to my show on November 2nd when it was fire exactly that's how I feel too they're like oh you're a comedian do you know fluffy like yeah we all heard let me text them right now like you know what he said he said come to my show next time and then or people people will message me like oh hey I got tickets to go see whatever comic over here at American Bank Center but they've never they've never like shared like hey I'm gonna come to your show but they don't dare me that they're going to that show over there that paid$50 a case oh my god yeah I'm kind of I'll I'm guilty of that like doing that it isn't until I really like started this podcast and the brand I think that's another thing yeah people don't not until they're doing stuff like this they realize how much community matters how much it means like it doesn't even mean that you would have to you can't you can't go out you got kids or something like that but share your friends stuff dude like share it um like the best thing I've noticed to do that I have a group of friends is that we'll go comment on each other's like post because they don't move it up the line.
- 33:27SPEAKER_06: Yeah and it creates a little bit of yes so that's been a thing that we're just like hey go go talk on my shit.
- 33:34SPEAKER_08: If you can find a way to cheat it though you could do that one time uh the only time I've ever put on a a comedy show there was a a Dallas Cowboys game right before at the bar it was uh hey nice uh CC Wells which was formerly Zero's oh okay yeah yeah yeah yeah uh that was a cool place but yeah so we had a a crowd there yeah zero because they just didn't want to get up from the Cowboys game oh you had you were at Rich's recently weren't you oh yeah yeah I did that what was that like uh I was cool that was uh friend of the pod Mario Salazar yeah yeah yeah yeah um yeah that was a yeah it was alright it would have been cool if there was more people but I had a I had a good time the the five or six audience members seemed to like me so right right that's what that's what's going on Eli thanks for joining Facebook tag two people yeah okay we have these homie shows I'm interested well I got one Saturday yeah with Joe Hilliard let's go where's it at where's it at the uh the jazz room okay yeah yeah yeah that's right here on air streets that's a new place that opened up on airs near six points by the old Nuevo Cafe what time yeah two shows 730 and 930 yeah oh and then every Thursday we have like you know now we have a little open mic walk sort of every Thursday so you'll be able to go to Prohibition and then come over to Mesquite and then return over there and so you'll get be able to get three shows in a night oh nice yeah they're open mics right for real Monarch 361 on YouTube says I'd rather see comedy than creed.

- 37:46SPEAKER_02: So that's sad though.
- 37:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 37:49SPEAKER_06: So I mean it's everywhere I mean everywhere except Canada is like some shit is gonna go down.
- 37:55SPEAKER_06: So every city, every uh state, you know there's always there's no state in America that hasn't had shit go down that's bad.
- 38:02SPEAKER_06: Like it just because we're anywhere you have people.
- 38:04SPEAKER_08: Yeah anywhere you have people anywhere you can do that shit but people are like well you're from corpus like you you you have you you're supposed to support I don't know I've gotten the opposite like uh there was a time that I lived in the valley and I was told oh well you're comforta corpus so you don't know you know you don't know what it's like to really struggle and you don't and I'll uh I didn't make a movie till I was like 15 in a theater baby with a couple or even have a phone right I got cell phone dude well no well I was like but no like land lines no we didn't pay for Catholic school so they had no money for anything else because my dad was a a a welder and my mom was a stay-at-home mom so I honestly I have no money no idea how they paid for three kids to go through Catholic school no idea drug money I don't know yeah but they did uh but we didn't have money for anything else we couldn't go out we never went out to eat we never went to like I said I never went to an actual theater till I was older until unless I was with my friends yeah um so yeah I I know what it's I lived on Lanier by you know heirs and stuff so I had a very modern mob what was this person from the Valley uh well because you know like in the uh before the valley is what it is now before it was very small town feel down there and so they would come to Corpus to shop back in the day because you know so they thought corpus was like this whole thing like a but now that completely changed like now we don't barely have a man we go terror shopping and but like in the 90s it was a different thing but yeah I mean I had a very modern mother she was uh you know single mom worked really really hard had a barber shop and so while I well if CCIS D wasn't taking care of me you know from up until 5 p.m where she had to come and pick me up then on the weekends yeah on the weekend she would um literally drop me and my friend off at the mall or let us go to the trade center and that was the baby that's all you'll be right here at this ramp by five people hold on well monarch 361 yeah there is a page it's called uh corpus christi stand-up comedy scene knows this stuff also 361 yeah he's yeah he's asking is there a Facebook page oh yeah that announces nothing but comedy shows in corpus oh yeah monarch 361 says on youtube 361 yes corpus christi stand up comedy scene they i i post on there whenever i have comics on here and i do clips i post it on there and uh i don't know whoever runs it appreciate you guys for letting me run that clip on the on the page that's cool what is it rolling three six one yeah just corpus christi comedy corpus christi comedy is the page yeah yeah run by run by friend of the pod Ronnie he's a cool guy yeah nice yeah yeah sorry I'm making so many friends on here I've been inviting everyone dude it's like you say oh we gotta he's a friend of the family he's kind of like the godfather bro yeah well it's on the little logo he has 361 comedy on there but yeah the page is called 361 comedy so right now we have uh 727 followers we're hoping that after this it will increase let's get to the thousand come on corpus nice uh well we got a shot uh fired shot here by Marcus Renee on YouTube says our beach is better than the valley's beach because it's closer to home the we can walk down the street they have to drive an hour yeah oh that's I had uh Rachel Caballet on she was talking about the beaches being privatized what do y'all think about that what do y'all think if they what do y'all think Texas is known for having the most amount of non-privatized beaches everywhere other state has so like they've pretty much are all gone like Florida you Georgia California and so that's one thing that we really have to hold on to as not just corpus Christians but as Texans like that's a prideful thing to come visit our state you can totally just walk on the beach the leader statue is it no well like is that I don't know I don't know getting into politics I guess is that a Republican thing or a Democrat thing or because to privatize a beach is like what the city's gonna sell it off I mean yeah basically like a hotel chain would own a chunk of the like waterfronts or rights to the waterfront.

- 46:07SPEAKER_05: Where did you school for that?
- 46:09SPEAKER_00: In San Antonio.
- 46:10SPEAKER_00: Nice at uh Vista.
- 46:12SPEAKER_06: Wow, that's kind of cool.
- 46:13SPEAKER_06: So they can just talk about movies that whole time in class.
- 46:15SPEAKER_06: I mean, that's gotta be awesome.
- 46:16SPEAKER_01: You're all kids to watch.
- 46:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was the only time at school like I didn't have to buy books because I I'm just watching movies.
- 46:24SPEAKER_00: I get it.
- 46:25SPEAKER_06: Yeah, um Roland can read?
- 46:27SPEAKER_06: I'm sorry.
- 46:28SPEAKER_01: Oh, damn.
- 46:30SPEAKER_00: Blake's just mad because he can't.
- 46:31SPEAKER_01: No, that's that's uh Miguelito, right?
- 46:34SPEAKER_01: Oh, Miguelito.
- 46:35SPEAKER_00: Is that him?
- 46:35SPEAKER_00: Yes, it's a lot of the crazy enemy of the pod.
- 46:40SPEAKER_05: What do you say?
- 46:41SPEAKER_05: He said enemy of the pod.
- 46:42SPEAKER_05: Like enemy of the pod.
- 46:47SPEAKER_00: He's gonna be sleeping with the fishes soon.
- 46:50SPEAKER_08: Okay, we're from corporate, we know how we do this.
- 46:52SPEAKER_02: Well, he's got he's got something going on too.
- 46:54SPEAKER_02: I see him on Facebook.
- 46:55SPEAKER_08: He's got was it uh he's got the lab at the topology.
- 46:59SPEAKER_08: I mean, probably all of our favorite like open mic because he does little challenges like you know, like after you've done your set, you pull a thing, uh pull up prompt or something out of a bucket, and uh that's really fun because he does kind of like push, you know, a little bit.
- 47:15SPEAKER_02: Like he's like educating comics too.
- 47:16SPEAKER_08: It seems like it yeah, well, because he is an educator himself.
- 47:19SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's cool.
- 47:20SPEAKER_08: Yeah, he is an educator himself, he teaches he's who I started uh doing comedy with.
- 47:25SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 47:26SPEAKER_00: Because he used to do me and him have been friends since like sixth grade, and then I moved away to San Antonio forever, and then just came back, and I knew that he had did like improv comedy, and I thought that was the same thing as stand-up.
- 47:39SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
- 47:40SPEAKER_00: So I was like, hey dude, you do comedy, let's do stand-up now.
- 47:43SPEAKER_00: Oh wow, he was like, okay.
- 47:46SPEAKER_02: It's cool how there's different types of stand-up ideas.
- 47:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 47:50SPEAKER_00: And uh those are they're totally different worlds, improv and and stand-up.
- 47:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's stand up is great, and improv is what it's you're still it's you're still standing up, though, right?
- 48:02SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to understand.
- 48:02SPEAKER_02: Like, improv is you're still standing up, right?
- 48:05SPEAKER_08: Improv improv is more of a group.
- 48:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and you're trying to like keep it going along.
- 48:09SPEAKER_00: It's like uh yes and yes, yeah.
- 48:11SPEAKER_00: You don't know that.
- 48:12SPEAKER_08: So responses from so like in stand-up comedy, you probably already have a set that you are or like topics or something that you're gonna go over.
- 48:20SPEAKER_08: But in improv, you're given like a prompt and then you kind of build it together.
- 48:24SPEAKER_06: What was that show with uh the comedian who narrow does uh prices right?
- 48:29SPEAKER_06: What's his name?
- 48:30SPEAKER_06: Drew?
- 48:30SPEAKER_04: Oh the whose line is it?
- 48:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 48:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 48:38SPEAKER_02: I thought he only read manifestos on Facebook.
- 48:43SPEAKER_06: Are we gonna talk about that?
- 48:46SPEAKER_02: My comedy is so much cleaner compared to Roland's hellish material.
- 48:49SPEAKER_02: Say, oh, that's a shot, bro by Miguelito.
- 48:52SPEAKER_00: Miguelito on Facebook, he says, Nah, I get all my dirty jokes from him.
- 48:56SPEAKER_00: They're all in my video.
- 48:58SPEAKER_00: He's he's telling me everything Bluetooth had set up there.
- 49:02SPEAKER_08: Are y'all dirty or clean robots?
- 49:04SPEAKER_08: Do not bring your children to my show.
- 49:08SPEAKER_08: I am very, I would say, like the Bob Sagot of Corpus.
- 49:13SPEAKER_08: Like I feel like I'm trying to keep all nice and clean during the day while I'm at work.
- 49:21SPEAKER_08: You know, the daytime image and the nighttime image, two different images for sure.
- 49:26SPEAKER_02: Do you feel like you have to develop well in comedy?
- 49:29SPEAKER_08: Like maybe for for certain audiences or yeah, you do the there is a process of, you know, when you get there, like who am I in front of?
- 49:37SPEAKER_08: What are how are they?
- 49:38SPEAKER_08: You know, and because even once you get started, too, you feel like they're gonna be this way, but they end up being that way.
- 49:43SPEAKER_08: So you do, especially if you have kids in the crowd, because like at Mesquite, for example, it is a restaurant.
- 49:49SPEAKER_08: So sometimes people do bring their children or whatever.
- 49:52SPEAKER_08: I always warn them before they walk in, like, hey, yeah, I understand you've got your kid with you, but we're gonna be using this language and stuff like that.
- 50:00SPEAKER_08: And usually the parents are like, oh, they've heard worse or whatever.
- 50:03SPEAKER_08: Or there's time where I told them we're over here.
- 50:07SPEAKER_08: Yeah, where it's like, no, no, and and some some parents are are thank us, like, oh, well, thank you for warning us, you know, we'll, you know, go somewhere else and come back another time without them or something like that.
- 50:18SPEAKER_08: Um, but uh yeah, I I do some I have had to sort of change things up a little bit.
- 50:24SPEAKER_08: Um, if the kids are in a certain like 12-year-old or something where they kind of might know and talk about kids.
- 50:32SPEAKER_08: Yeah, but if they're young enough, like usually like if they're like little little kid, you put the tablet or whatever in front of them.
- 50:38SPEAKER_08: Soon as adults start talking, they zone out.
- 50:42SPEAKER_08: They zone out and they don't even know and mom and dad are all here like I have had a situation one time where a parent wanted me to roast or wanted us to roast their kid.
- 50:53SPEAKER_08: And I was like, no, I'm not gonna roast your kid.
- 50:56SPEAKER_08: Would you have done that?
- 50:57SPEAKER_00: Would you have not a roast guy, not really?
- 51:02SPEAKER_00: But I mean, I would have tried for sure.
- 51:04SPEAKER_08: They would have grown up and be like, this baby roasted me when I was roasted her and I roasted her and I got on her, you know, well, uh because I I do love, I mean I got that from working at the car dealership, you know, being in the sales tower.
- 51:18SPEAKER_08: There would be times where my my my manager would call me into the office specifically to roast somebody, like if a salesman came in with an earring in his or something with a diamond in his ears, I'd be like, Oh my hair road, that kind of thing, you know.
- 51:32SPEAKER_08: So uh I really like it.
- 51:33SPEAKER_08: Like we did Tina's rose for her birthday, and that was so much fun.
- 51:37SPEAKER_08: I prepared for everybody.
- 51:41SPEAKER_02: Because I kept on asking her, like, about about what did I was asking her?
- 51:45SPEAKER_02: Oh, when was the the sh the open comment whenever she did her show or whatever?
- 51:49SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 51:50SPEAKER_05: I kept on asking her out when the last Tuesday.
- 51:53SPEAKER_02: She got pissed.
- 51:54SPEAKER_05: I was like one more time.
- 51:57SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry, Tina.
- 51:58SPEAKER_02: I'm so sorry.
- 51:59SPEAKER_02: We gotta run that back.
- 52:01SPEAKER_02: We gotta run that back.
- 52:02SPEAKER_08: Let's run that back.
- 52:03SPEAKER_08: It's uh yes, every last Tuesday.
- 52:05SPEAKER_08: Yeah, she kept on.
- 52:07SPEAKER_08: But I think that's changed now.
- 52:08SPEAKER_08: Is it to Wednesdays?
- 52:09SPEAKER_08: I think it switched to the last Wednesday now.
- 52:12SPEAKER_08: I don't know.
- 52:13SPEAKER_08: Is you watching Tina?
- 52:15SPEAKER_08: Can you clarify or Wendell clarify?
- 52:18SPEAKER_08: But I mean, um, I have the open mic over at Mesquite.
- 52:21SPEAKER_08: That happens every single Thursday at 8 30.
- 52:24SPEAKER_08: And then the downtown Mesquite right here around the corner.
- 52:28SPEAKER_08: That's every Thursday at 8 30.
- 52:29SPEAKER_08: The comic the comics come in, sign up at 8 30.
- 52:32SPEAKER_08: They each get five minutes.
- 52:34SPEAKER_08: The uh open mic starts at 9 p.m.
- 52:37SPEAKER_08: And then uh if you go to um uh ww.mesquitstreetlive.com, then you'll be able to see like or get your tickets for like the art walk comedy show or any of the other big headliner comics that we're gonna have coming in.
- 52:51SPEAKER_08: Like Ali Sadiq is coming through to Mesquite at the South Side.
- 52:54SPEAKER_08: Yeah, we have Nate Jackson, and then for my birthday, we're gonna get um Jackie Fabulous, who I love from America's Got Talent.
- 53:01SPEAKER_08: So it's uh my birthday is February 27th, and and then Jackie Fabulous will be here uh February 14th.
- 53:09SPEAKER_08: So that'll be a really good show to have like a Galantine's Day crowd of all chicks just slapping.
- 53:15SPEAKER_00: Hell yeah, during Black History Month.
- 53:18SPEAKER_02: Yes, I uh sorry.
- 53:21SPEAKER_02: So I imagine like different local comics are like kind of want to get on those spots.
- 53:25SPEAKER_08: Want to get on those spots to open, yes.
- 53:27SPEAKER_02: To open, right?
- 53:28SPEAKER_02: To get that time and experience and stuff like that.

- 55:05SPEAKER_02: Do you have any favorite team?
- 55:06SPEAKER_02: Any favorite teams?
- 55:08SPEAKER_02: Have you been watching sports lately?
- 55:10SPEAKER_02: You have any?
- 55:10SPEAKER_06: I mean, I'm like I said, I'm a 49ers fan, but that's only because like my dad and I, he got he when I was younger, he's like, hey, let's let's bet on football.
- 55:17SPEAKER_06: And I'm like, what?
- 55:17SPEAKER_06: I'm like a little kid.
- 55:18SPEAKER_06: Like, and he's all what team do you like?
- 55:20SPEAKER_06: And I was like, oh no.
- 55:22SPEAKER_06: So then I started watching football with him.
- 55:24SPEAKER_06: Of course, he was a Cowboys fan, so I ended up picking the 49ers.
- 55:27SPEAKER_06: And I was just that's how I became still a 49ers fan?
- 55:30SPEAKER_06: Uh I am so I'm a Joe Montana fan.
- 55:32SPEAKER_06: I have Joe Montana tattooed on my ankle.
- 55:34SPEAKER_06: So he's the GOAT.
- 55:36SPEAKER_06: Nobody argue with me on that.
- 55:38SPEAKER_06: And um Tom Landry uh 49ers and the Chiefs, basically, because he played for both teams.
- 55:44SPEAKER_08: So who did you say?
- 55:45SPEAKER_08: He said Tom Landry goat.
- 55:52SPEAKER_08: Team football, I pick it, you know, based on how they look and what their uniforms look like.
- 55:56SPEAKER_08: There you go.
- 55:57SPEAKER_07: Because it's a fantasy.
- 56:00SPEAKER_08: I love the way you said that.
- 56:01SPEAKER_02: Tier Lac Pacino on Facebook says the Annex Comedy Collective opened mic Wednesday, December 18th.
- 56:08SPEAKER_06: The Annex.
- 56:09SPEAKER_06: That's a fun place.
- 56:10SPEAKER_06: That's coming up.
- 56:11SPEAKER_06: Oh I think they said 7:30, right?
- 56:13SPEAKER_06: Jazz room.
- 56:14SPEAKER_00: Oh, 7:30 and 9:30, Playboy.
- 56:16SPEAKER_00: Two goes.
- 56:17SPEAKER_00: Jazz really.
- 56:18SPEAKER_08: That's a that's a really good spot for comedy because it's a little tight room.
- 56:23SPEAKER_08: Like the I I'm one of those rules people like I know Blake was all like fuck the rolls, whatever.
- 56:28SPEAKER_08: But I like low ceilings and no windows, and I want darkness, and I want the only light to be on the kind of thing.
- 56:37SPEAKER_00: It's nothing but paint.
- 56:39SPEAKER_08: I like the little room up here upstairs at Mesquite for that same reason, you know.
- 56:44SPEAKER_08: And but the jazz room is this little, you know, lightning in the bottle kind of place, like where you can almost like sport right in on the crowd, which is amazing, you know?
- 56:54SPEAKER_00: And uh everyone's on the splash zone, it's good.
- 56:57SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and you know, I hate it when there's no splash zone.
- 57:01SPEAKER_08: Oh, so yeah, I want low ceiling, I want darkness, and I want a tiny room, and I want everybody sitting on top of each other.
- 57:09SPEAKER_02: So you kind of follow those guidelines like you do.
- 57:11SPEAKER_08: I do.
- 57:11SPEAKER_08: I am a rituals person.
- 57:13SPEAKER_08: I think it's like the very rituals person, yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 57:18SPEAKER_08: What would you do if they weren't there?
- 57:19SPEAKER_08: I mean, but I it's not I've I've done comedy in sandals and I've done comedy in shorts, but the times that I have done comedy in the daytime, it doesn't quite land as good.
- 57:28SPEAKER_08: You know what I mean?
- 57:32SPEAKER_08: You know, but when it's when all of the metrics are all met perfectly, then it's just magic.
- 57:38SPEAKER_08: It just oozes right out.
- 57:40SPEAKER_00: Like a fine.
- 57:42SPEAKER_00: Depends on the thing, on what's going on.
- 57:44SPEAKER_00: Uh, there was one time me and Anna and Tina who's watching like somewhere in the room, I'm sure.
- 57:50SPEAKER_00: Uh we did a a baby shower.
- 57:52SPEAKER_00: That was that was fun.
- 57:54SPEAKER_08: Comedy baby shower.
- 57:55SPEAKER_08: Yeah, baby shower.

- 1:04:05SPEAKER_02: Any final thoughts you guys guys want to share?
- 1:04:08SPEAKER_08: I think community, I think that has been like the theme of this whole thing is bringing the community together, supporting each other and what we do and everything like that, and and loving each other for who we are and what we do.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_08: I think it's very important.
- 1:04:21SPEAKER_06: Like if you don't never done a comedy show, go to a comedy show.
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_06: You never need a drag performance, go to a dragon.
- 1:04:28SPEAKER_02: How important do y'all think it is in drag queens?
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_02: How important do y'all think it is to like uh be involved in, I guess, like politics or voting and the city, this what the city of Corpus Christi is doing?
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_08: My whole thing is, man, I pay taxes, I pay property taxes in the city of Corpus Christi, so I care because they charge me up real, real, real good.
- 1:04:53SPEAKER_08: You know, so I I care.
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_08: I I care.
- 1:04:56SPEAKER_08: If I didn't, maybe if I didn't pay these property taxes and I didn't have what I have and everything like that, I wouldn't have anything to protect.
- 1:05:03SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:05:04SPEAKER_08: Or an especially because I do so much in the community.
- 1:05:07SPEAKER_08: I am out here entertaining these people and I want to have tourism.
- 1:05:12SPEAKER_08: I want people to come and see Corpus and like it and want to return to our town.
- 1:05:18SPEAKER_06: Right, yeah, it's very important.
- 1:05:19SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think it's very important.
- 1:05:20SPEAKER_06: Uh I don't try to like talk about it too much because I try to make I want to make people laugh as well.
- 1:05:25SPEAKER_06: And hey, let's go watch horror movies and stuff like that.
- 1:05:28SPEAKER_06: But uh a lot of it, like I don't know if you've ever seen The Boys The Boys show.
- 1:05:33SPEAKER_06: That's a very political show, but it's gory as fuck.
- 1:05:36SPEAKER_06: Like it's a it's like superheroes, but Homeland is one of my favorite comedians.
- 1:05:40SPEAKER_06: Home yeah.
- 1:05:44unknown: What?
- 1:05:45SPEAKER_06: What did I just learn?
- 1:05:47SPEAKER_06: Um But it's like they talk about how like superheroes in a political what climate w is in a sense, and it's that how it's just I don't know, it hits, but it's it's very, very gory and graphic, so uh Anybody hasn't seen that?
- 1:06:01SPEAKER_06: See that show?
- 1:06:04SPEAKER_06: Theaters.

- 1:06:17SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:06:17SPEAKER_02: We watch uh what do you think about so y'all think about where the word Marvel's headed now being that Disney owns it?
- 1:06:23SPEAKER_02: We brought that up with another.
- 1:06:25SPEAKER_06: Oh, I didn't even I don't know too much on the politics on that kind of stuff, but yeah, I think Disney is the same here.
- 1:06:30SPEAKER_08: Well, because they always add a very like more like a sort of polish that makes it not as edgy.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_08: I mean it feels like Rocky Horror is now Disney, so Frank and Furder is a Disney princess.
- 1:06:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_06: What?
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_06: Yeah, Frank and Porter, uh well not Frank and the horror Rocky Horror Picture Show is Disney now.

- 1:07:07SPEAKER_08: The rights to Rocky Horror Picture Show are home by Disney.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_06: Yeah, Disney took it out.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_08: I love that movie.

- 1:09:12SPEAKER_06: See, uh because I don't know if you like me on my private page, and I'm very like selective on my private pages because I don't know who these people are that are talking to me.

- 1:09:26SPEAKER_06: So I'm just like, why are you messing?
- 1:09:27SPEAKER_06: Because like literally on my personal page is like, don't message me unless you're dying.
- 1:09:31SPEAKER_06: And because I'm just like, I don't know, it just filters out the people I do.
- 1:09:37SPEAKER_06: I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's just like I don't know you personally.
- 1:09:40SPEAKER_06: I never went and met you, I I don't know who I'm talking to.
- 1:09:44SPEAKER_06: So because I've had some creepers, so I don't know.
- 1:09:46SPEAKER_08: The comedians, we have like multiple chats going, so our phones are always like bling bling bling because whether we're talking to each other in our scene or we're like in a group chat, for example, for an event like this or a show or something, so we are always have a lot of people.
- 1:10:00SPEAKER_08: But do y'all have a case?
- 1:10:01SPEAKER_06: So you're rolling spam a lot, isn't it?
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_06: Yeah, okay.
- 1:10:04SPEAKER_06: I don't know, but you said Regina Georges on here that I was laughing.
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, that's that's not that's awesome.
- 1:10:10SPEAKER_08: I didn't have Regina George's as him.
- 1:10:13SPEAKER_08: I'm Ana J.
- 1:10:13SPEAKER_08: Ramitas across every single thing.
- 1:10:16SPEAKER_08: Okay, and you don't have like Anna in a J.
- 1:10:19SPEAKER_08: Ramides, or you can do hashtag number one salesly and you'll find everything.
- 1:10:23SPEAKER_08: Did Blake have like his own topics?
- 1:10:25SPEAKER_08: Yeah, like right there, Blake.
- 1:10:26SPEAKER_08: What is that like personality?
- 1:10:29SPEAKER_08: So what happened was I had went on this vacation to Turkey.
- 1:10:34SPEAKER_08: I have a friend that lived in Turkey, and I just somehow this Turkish vacation fell on my lap.
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_01: Cool.
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_08: Um, I had the money and it was cheap, so I got it.
- 1:10:42SPEAKER_08: And so I go visit my friend, and we go to this sort of like a coffee shop.
- 1:10:46SPEAKER_08: And in the in the time that we were there having a drink and eating, they sort of changed the coffee shop into a nightclub.
- 1:10:54SPEAKER_08: And I was like, What's going on?
- 1:10:55SPEAKER_08: He's like, Oh, it's about to turn into nightclub mode, you know, so we have to finish up and eating because they're gonna take our table.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_08: And then I noticed that the place was called tag and it was like hash T-A-G.
- 1:11:04SPEAKER_08: And so anybody that would post on Facebook put tag on there, the pictures would come up like the way they are here.
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_08: I was like, that is such a great idea.
- 1:11:13SPEAKER_08: So when I came back, I was I that idea kind of stayed with me.
- 1:11:17SPEAKER_08: And then I was working in the oil field, and after that, when I got laid off in the oil field, I went into car sales and it kind of stuck with me.
- 1:11:24SPEAKER_08: And I was like, I need to use that somehow.
- 1:11:26SPEAKER_08: And I created number one sales lady so that I can post pictures of my customers and post pictures of the sales and things or whatever.
- 1:11:34SPEAKER_08: So now it's just like anything I'm promoting, number one sales lady, or anything I'm doing, number one sales.
- 1:11:39SPEAKER_08: I have it on my business card, number one sales lady, I have it on my name tag, number one sales lady.
- 1:11:44SPEAKER_08: Um, everything everywhere.
- 1:11:46SPEAKER_08: So yeah, like everywhere.
- 1:11:50SPEAKER_08: It's like sold number one sales lady.
- 1:11:52SPEAKER_08: And so the goal is to create create an army of number one sales ladies.
- 1:11:57SPEAKER_08: I love it.
- 1:11:58SPEAKER_08: Um, all around the world, you know, whether you're the number one sales lady of real estate, insurance, shoes, uh, jewelry.
- 1:12:05SPEAKER_02: Your Spanish is awesome too.
- 1:12:14SPEAKER_08: I learned to speak English at the Head Start at Lulak apartments in Molina.
- 1:12:18SPEAKER_08: That's where I picked it up.
- 1:12:20SPEAKER_02: Wow because I was yes, I was your parents didn't teach you, that's how you learned it.
- 1:12:25SPEAKER_04: My parents my mom, you were one of those two?
- 1:12:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah, right.
- 1:12:28SPEAKER_06: Yeah, like they were they argued in Spanish, so I wouldn't know, but I'm like, catch the word.
- 1:12:32SPEAKER_08: Yeah, no, I I wouldn't be able to talk to my grandma and grandpa when I was a kid, or my mom currently, or anyone in my family too, you know, because we they all speak, but now it's getting like more English is creeped than with the younger generation.
- 1:12:44SPEAKER_08: But from my generation on, like now we all spoke Spanish.
- 1:12:48SPEAKER_06: Oh, right, right on.
- 1:12:49SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I did I didn't well, I didn't learn that things that and then I rebelled in high school.
- 1:12:53SPEAKER_06: I was like, I'm not gonna take Spanish, I'll take it sign language of Japanese.
- 1:12:56SPEAKER_06: Take it French, yeah.
- 1:12:58SPEAKER_07: I took Spanish so I can get the Easy A.
- 1:13:01SPEAKER_06: I didn't know it, so I'll just so I can learn it.
- 1:13:04SPEAKER_06: And then I go to college and they're just like you gotta take it.
- 1:13:06SPEAKER_08: I took Spanish so I could get the Easy A, but it was the last class, and I would get tired, and I'd be like, I'm getting a B.
- 1:13:14SPEAKER_07: I gotta B.
- 1:13:15SPEAKER_07: Do you speak?
- 1:13:16SPEAKER_07: In my defense, I was dyslexic in high school.

- 1:13:27SPEAKER_00: Nope.
- 1:13:28SPEAKER_05: Only in Belgrade.
- 1:13:30SPEAKER_05: Only in Belgium.
- 1:13:36SPEAKER_05: Do you think Spanish?
- 1:13:38SPEAKER_02: I understand it more than I speak it.
- 1:13:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:13:41SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that's that's that's my favorite.
- 1:13:43SPEAKER_08: When I have a crowd that I know I can do a little Spanglish, a little John Canala Spanglish, I really love that.
- 1:13:50SPEAKER_08: Then I can really like do because um like a lot of the style of the way I write comedy is in the because I grew up with like polopolo and like these Mexican Spanish speaking Spanish language comedians, and they have a certain way to do kind of comedy, and it's more storytelling kind of thing.
- 1:14:08SPEAKER_08: So I was like, how can I use that format and translate it and make it all in English and still do the same thing?
- 1:14:14SPEAKER_02: And that's kind of how did an easy transition to do that?
- 1:14:17SPEAKER_08: Like I guess shift it from I mean, I don't write in Spanish, I write in English, but like the style of the format of it.
- 1:14:27SPEAKER_02: I try to Yeah, so I'm I'm always trying to f understand like comedian, like how how you guys go typically do what you do, you know what I mean?
- 1:14:35SPEAKER_00: So most of the time from it's from person to person.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_08: Person to person.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_08: Like I'll be driving in the car and I'll see something and it'll just boo boom.
- 1:14:43SPEAKER_08: And if I don't stop and pull over right then and there and write it down and put it in my little joke book, it's gone.
- 1:14:49SPEAKER_08: So I literally have to either repeat it to myself until I can park or or stop and write it down because if I don't, then it's like it's gone.
- 1:14:58SPEAKER_06: It's mainly like personal experience, though, with uh personal experiences for comedians, right?
- 1:15:02SPEAKER_06: It's just like a lot about your life.
- 1:15:04SPEAKER_08: That's one thing too.
- 1:15:06SPEAKER_06: Well, that depends on the person.
- 1:15:07SPEAKER_08: People are always afraid to get out of the front.
- 1:15:09SPEAKER_08: They're like, I don't want to sit in the front, they're gonna make fun of us.
- 1:15:13SPEAKER_08: I don't want to sit in the front, they're gonna, they're gonna, you know, roast us or whatever.
- 1:15:16SPEAKER_08: And it's like, dude, my stand-up comedy is not about you.
- 1:15:18SPEAKER_08: I just met you today.
- 1:15:20SPEAKER_08: My standup comedy is about me, right?
- 1:15:22SPEAKER_08: So I need you to sit down, relax, get into my shoes for a little bit, because I'm gonna show you how your trauma has nothing to do with me, but maybe you can laugh about mine and feel better about yours.
- 1:15:33SPEAKER_08: And that's really what it is.
- 1:15:34SPEAKER_06: Because a lot of us share share a lot of the same experiences.
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_08: I mean, and it's it's like a relief to know, like, oh, it's not just me.
- 1:15:41SPEAKER_08: It's not just me going through these.
- 1:15:42SPEAKER_08: I can laugh about it because this person just made a joke about I don't know, having a big old puss or whatever.
- 1:15:49SPEAKER_01: That's my joke, by the way.
- 1:15:53SPEAKER_07: It's like we all have one.

- 1:16:40SPEAKER_00: I can't help it.
- 1:16:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:16:41SPEAKER_02: So it's the person that that kind of makes that genre instead of the genre making the person.

- 1:27:10SPEAKER_06: And they were like, I will not go to a gym, but they have and I haven't gotten so that's so cool.
- 1:27:16SPEAKER_00: Favorite boxing movie?
- 1:27:18SPEAKER_06: Uh well I it'll always be Rocky because me and my dad, my dad was like burned in a propane tech accident.
- 1:27:23SPEAKER_06: So power equipment a long time ago, and so his partner died, but like my dad stuck it through, and so I remember being at Memorial Hospital in the burn unit, and my dad, me and my I'm trying to give my dad motivation.
- 1:27:36SPEAKER_06: I'm like, come on, Rocky, we can do it.
- 1:27:38SPEAKER_06: We watch Rocky movies together.
- 1:27:40SPEAKER_06: I'm like, come on, dad, you can you can do that.
- 1:27:42SPEAKER_06: And um, he said that's what helped him get it through was like remembering that the movie and stuff and stuff like that.
- 1:27:48SPEAKER_08: So how do you guys feel that they like tore down the hospital?
- 1:27:52SPEAKER_08: Like, I feel like I had so many childhood memories at that memorial hospital.
- 1:27:56SPEAKER_08: Like, so many members of my family were born there.
- 1:27:59SPEAKER_08: I think that corporate.
- 1:28:00SPEAKER_02: It's like we're kind of known for tearing down historical stuff, right?
- 1:28:03SPEAKER_08: It feels like a little bit, except for this whatever the courthouse it is.
- 1:28:08SPEAKER_06: Like we never did nothing with it.
- 1:28:10SPEAKER_06: Have y'all ever gone in it?
- 1:28:12SPEAKER_08: Yes, it is beautiful.
- 1:28:14SPEAKER_08: It's like the main lobby with all the marble, and it's like that big, it's gorgeous.
- 1:28:20SPEAKER_08: We really should be utilizing that space for anything, Texas history or whatever.
- 1:28:25SPEAKER_08: Yeah, something.
- 1:28:26SPEAKER_06: And um, no, it's it's like it's just I mean, or at least like downsize it, like maybe not take away the whole thing, but monetize the back and keep the front facade.
- 1:28:35SPEAKER_06: So, like, yeah, once you go in there, especially at night, um, you creep your tell.
- 1:28:39SPEAKER_06: But it's beautiful because you're just like, wow, look at the floor, look at the the pillars, everything.
- 1:28:42SPEAKER_06: It's just like they still have this stuff there.
- 1:28:45SPEAKER_08: Going into those like mini like prison chambers and like and the little like prisoner like um drawings that were in there, and you cross them in there.
- 1:28:52SPEAKER_06: Wow, yeah, yeah.
- 1:28:53SPEAKER_06: No, and then my kid had me go all the way to the top, and my kids like jumping on the roof, and I was like, Oh crack or something.
- 1:29:02SPEAKER_06: So, yeah, no, it was uh it was an intense time, but yeah, uh don't don't arrest me for that.
- 1:29:06SPEAKER_08: Um but not for real City, do something because it does pique a lot of curiosity, especially as young people, and so that's when I went in.
- 1:29:15SPEAKER_08: Like, I think we were in middle school or high school when we like broke into there during the day, and like some homeless person was like, Yeah, you go through that door.
- 1:29:23SPEAKER_07: But that's what we were doing.
- 1:29:24SPEAKER_09: Stop bothering me.
- 1:29:27SPEAKER_07: Very helpful.
- 1:29:27SPEAKER_08: The homeless people were like tour guides, you know, like how you go through here, and they pretty much left us alone.
- 1:29:33SPEAKER_08: But you know, they're like, if you move this panel, you can go in or whatever, and and it was an awesome experience.
- 1:29:39SPEAKER_04: Oh, that's like the buttercrust.
- 1:29:40SPEAKER_08: Did y'all ever do the buttercrust?
- 1:29:41SPEAKER_08: Oh, the buttercrust.
- 1:29:42SPEAKER_02: Oh man, I remember the diligent.
- 1:29:44SPEAKER_02: The smell was awesome.
- 1:29:46SPEAKER_06: Oh god, oh man, for those of y'all don't even know.
- 1:29:49SPEAKER_06: Oh, the colossus that's where I fought.
- 1:29:50SPEAKER_06: I fought at the Coliseum.
- 1:29:51SPEAKER_06: The Coliseum.
- 1:29:52SPEAKER_08: Oh, that's gone! My grandpa built that.
- 1:29:55SPEAKER_08: Like, that's what brought our whole family to Corpus was the Coliseum.
- 1:29:58SPEAKER_08: I had my grandpa.
- 1:29:59SPEAKER_08: Because he had gotten the job to uh do that.
- 1:30:02unknown: Yeah.
- 1:30:03SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:30:03SPEAKER_06: No, that's a yeah, but I did too.
- 1:30:04SPEAKER_08: I think we were the last graduation, oh three.
- 1:30:07SPEAKER_06: Yeah to come out of that.
- 1:30:08SPEAKER_06: Dude, that Coliseum was that was awesome.
- 1:30:10SPEAKER_06: There's so many memories there.
- 1:30:11SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think, yeah, you're right.
- 1:30:12SPEAKER_02: They're like the quarterhouse is the only thing left.
- 1:30:14SPEAKER_02: I mean, well, the bridge, but it's gonna be gone soon.
- 1:30:17SPEAKER_08: They sold that to another country, so it's gonna be somewhere in the world.
- 1:30:21SPEAKER_08: Oh, wait, the bridge?
- 1:30:22SPEAKER_08: The harbor bridge.
- 1:30:23SPEAKER_08: No way, yes.
- 1:30:24SPEAKER_08: They like it's like a mobile home.
- 1:30:26SPEAKER_08: They're just gonna pick it up and move it.
- 1:30:27SPEAKER_08: Uh that's how we're gonna go.
- 1:30:28SPEAKER_04: It's going on tour.
- 1:30:32SPEAKER_04: I don't I want to wait a couple years.
- 1:30:34SPEAKER_04: It's like, I don't want to go over it yet.
- 1:30:36SPEAKER_00: Well, wait, wait, let's set a couple of people first.
- 1:30:42SPEAKER_08: I remember one time we were at a hooks game and Tina was like, Oh my god, look at that worker.
- 1:30:46SPEAKER_08: He's all the way up there.
- 1:30:48SPEAKER_08: Would you go and work up there?
- 1:30:50SPEAKER_08: And I was like, Yeah.
- 1:30:51SPEAKER_08: She's like, Would you what?
- 1:30:53SPEAKER_08: You're not scared?
- 1:30:53SPEAKER_08: I was like, Yeah, I'll be scared, but I'll work on it.
- 1:30:59SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I mean, I I can't wait.
- 1:31:01SPEAKER_08: And I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.
- 1:31:02SPEAKER_08: It'll be scary driving over it.
- 1:31:04SPEAKER_08: Is there like a can we go work on the side?
- 1:31:07SPEAKER_08: I remember the original plans there were supposed to be like a even like a park in the middle, but I don't think that in the middle.
- 1:31:14SPEAKER_08: But I don't think they uh were able to like do that.
- 1:31:18SPEAKER_08: I don't think there is gonna be a way that I do kind of want to walk over the harbor bridge before they tear it down.
- 1:31:23SPEAKER_08: So if anybody wants to do that with me, shout out to City of Corpse Chrissy if y'all want to walk over the whole city.
- 1:31:31SPEAKER_08: Kidding.
- 1:31:32SPEAKER_06: No, we're all walking over the bridge.
- 1:31:36SPEAKER_06: Everybody night, everybody that remembers we all carry flags.
- 1:31:40SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:31:42SPEAKER_02: Remember our producers falling asleep back then.
- 1:31:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sorry.
- 1:31:47SPEAKER_01: We're not funny enough for you.
- 1:31:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:31:52SPEAKER_02: Is it is it so they're they're building the bridge because bigger ships are coming in?
- 1:31:56SPEAKER_08: Yeah, so bigger, wider tanker ships can come through the port and we can uh reap the benefits of that, hopefully.
- 1:32:04SPEAKER_08: So that should bring more logistics jobs, more truck driver jobs, uh, more like that, because uh we'll be able to get more shipping containers and more different things from around the world through our portfolio.
- 1:32:15SPEAKER_10: So it's a good thing.
- 1:32:16unknown: Mm-hmm.
- 1:32:16SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, and my kid just brought up the carousel.
- 1:32:19SPEAKER_06: Everybody goes to the carousel.
- 1:32:21SPEAKER_06: I remember that.
- 1:32:25SPEAKER_06: Now that old mall, that's that's where I got my first job at the other mall.
- 1:32:28SPEAKER_08: Now it's a fountain, right?
- 1:32:29SPEAKER_08: Like, or no, it's like the cookie place.
- 1:32:31SPEAKER_04: I don't know, but that carousel was a bomb.
- 1:32:33SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was.
- 1:32:34SPEAKER_04: And then the theater upstairs, remember that?
- 1:32:36SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 1:32:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the tilt the dollar.
- 1:32:41SPEAKER_08: But I saw like Batman, the Michael Keaton Batman so many times at that movie theater next to Tilt, and I remember my mom being so tired for work, and I'd be like, Mom, wake up, sit the good pong.
- 1:32:52SPEAKER_01: It's where she asked for the soul, mom!
- 1:32:56SPEAKER_02: I remember seeing uh Gleaming the Cube, you uh seen that one?
- 1:32:59SPEAKER_02: It's a it's a skateboard movie with uh Christian Slater.
- 1:33:03SPEAKER_00: I remember seeing out Christian Slater.
- 1:33:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:33:07SPEAKER_06: Is it older?
- 1:33:08SPEAKER_06: Uh older?
- 1:33:08SPEAKER_06: An older it's like 80.
- 1:33:10SPEAKER_02: I don't want to say 80s.
- 1:33:11SPEAKER_06: What is it, grinding the cube?
- 1:33:12SPEAKER_02: No, gleaming the cube.
- 1:33:15SPEAKER_08: Yeah, we thought I thought that was the thing.
- 1:33:17SPEAKER_08: And then, like, where that jump or whatever thing, that was a theater, and I remember we saw Titanic, me and my friend Paul or me and my friend Jenny.
- 1:33:26SPEAKER_08: We saw Titanic probably three times there.
- 1:33:28SPEAKER_08: That was like our first porno, right?
- 1:33:31SPEAKER_01: You're like, you know what the exposure.
- 1:33:37SPEAKER_08: Yeah, but you know what I want?
- 1:33:39SPEAKER_08: I I want one of those black tiles from the dollar movie because it's all exposed, you know, they're tearing it down.
- 1:33:44SPEAKER_08: I wish there was a way that I could go and just save one of those tiles.
- 1:33:48SPEAKER_06: Uh I know, too.
- 1:33:49SPEAKER_06: You're right, because I I was I was too young.
- 1:33:51SPEAKER_06: I'm sure y'all were younger and didn't think about like, oh, this is gonna be a memory, you know, for the future.
- 1:33:55SPEAKER_06: So yeah, that's what sucks.
- 1:33:57SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:33:58SPEAKER_08: So you know, my mom was a modern mom, and she would she taught me how to sneak into the movie theater later.
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_08: She's like, this is how you're gonna do this.
- 1:34:08SPEAKER_08: I'm buying one ticket and you just walk right behind me, but we're gonna stay for three.
- 1:34:16SPEAKER_07: That was the people person like chicken.
- 1:34:22SPEAKER_07: Oh my god.
- 1:34:24SPEAKER_00: The dollar theater was a great babysitter.
- 1:34:26SPEAKER_00: I love the dollar theater.
- 1:34:27SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, too.
- 1:34:28SPEAKER_06: The bottom dollar.
- 1:34:30SPEAKER_04: No, what uh we were to the when I uh used to go to the oh, what did he say?
- 1:34:36SPEAKER_04: And that's because my mom was sneaking to the dollar theater.
- 1:34:40SPEAKER_06: You gotta say, hey, the popcorn's weren't cheap though, so the popcorn drinks were still kind of pricey.
- 1:34:47SPEAKER_00: So that guy in the velvet who thought we didn't struggle.
- 1:34:49SPEAKER_01: He's sneaking to the dollar theater, dude.
- 1:34:54SPEAKER_01: How dare you come here?
- 1:35:01SPEAKER_06: That y'all would play, put a quarter in or whatever.
- 1:35:04SPEAKER_06: Remember what?
- 1:35:04SPEAKER_06: Because not now they have all the fancy carnival, but back in the old school, you would do like a little old, yeah.
- 1:35:09SPEAKER_08: Oh my god, remember when Peter Piper was on airs and it was like that old dark one that was really cool when we had my birthday party there, and my grandpa Jose had given me a hundred dollar bill and I put it in the corner.
- 1:35:29SPEAKER_07: That same birthday.
- 1:35:30SPEAKER_07: I remember my cake had like roses on it, and my uncle uh Mitiolako, he was like, smell the meat.
- 1:35:42SPEAKER_07: That was all in the same birthday.
- 1:35:43SPEAKER_07: But I remember putting that hundred dollar bill in there, and it was like like vegan.
- 1:35:51SPEAKER_04: My mom and kids, whenever we used to go to the gays, you know what my dad would do?
- 1:35:57SPEAKER_04: He'd be like, tell the people, so hey, uh, my daughter's a little special needs person.
- 1:36:02SPEAKER_04: Literally, like, I was like, Huh Dad see, she doesn't understand.
- 1:36:09SPEAKER_06: I didn't understand till I got older and I was like, wait a minute.
- 1:36:13SPEAKER_06: And then my brother, my brother used to say I was adopted all the time.
- 1:36:16SPEAKER_06: I was like, I was traumatized.
- 1:36:19SPEAKER_06: And I went to Catholic school, so that didn't help me.
- 1:36:23SPEAKER_00: We had my brother and sister.
- 1:36:24SPEAKER_00: We we took the thing from The Simpsons and she would start crying and like ask for her mom, and he could just push her in the front.
- 1:36:31SPEAKER_00: Gets you to all of her other lines.
- 1:36:33SPEAKER_04: Do y'all have any brothers and sisters?
- 1:36:34SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I have a stepbrother, yes.
- 1:36:37SPEAKER_06: Did y'all traumatize any of your siblings?
- 1:36:39SPEAKER_06: I got traumatized, so I had a traumatized.
- 1:36:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:36:42SPEAKER_02: Uh my my older brother, he's a year apart from me.
- 1:36:45SPEAKER_02: So we were kind of like bugging each other all the time.
- 1:36:49SPEAKER_02: So and he he it's weird because he's the his hit the way he is, and I'm the way I am.
- 1:36:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:36:55SPEAKER_02: And it's like every now and then we'll we'll be brothers, but then the rest of the time, it's like, alright, you your spots over there, my spots over here.
- 1:37:03SPEAKER_06: Dude, my brother, I heard stories about my brothers where my brother, uh, because my older brother is, he's the middle brother.
- 1:37:09SPEAKER_06: My older brother is like really sensitive or stuff, like he would at Catholic school he would eat with the nuns, not in the cafeteria, because he would get grossed out by the kids with their, you know, their snot coming out of their holes, and he would throw up so every time.
- 1:37:22SPEAKER_06: So the nuns are like, no, you're gonna go eat with me.
- 1:37:25SPEAKER_06: So you don't throw up anymore.
- 1:37:27SPEAKER_06: But my brother supposedly, I don't know if he could confirm this, ate a roach in front of my brother.
- 1:37:32SPEAKER_06: Oh, and then my brother was like riding his motor, or not his mother, his bike, and then my younger brother got a stick and put it on.
- 1:37:40SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, that's a good point, Marcus Renan, YouTube.
- 1:37:43SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine walking on the new bridge from Crosstown to North Beach?
- 1:37:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that is a long walk.
- 1:37:49SPEAKER_06: Okay, how do you think that's how many people would be full of cool stuff are still getting lost driving from here to there?
- 1:37:54SPEAKER_06: I always take the wrong one and go around.
- 1:38:00SPEAKER_08: There was, I think I did drive over to North Beach a couple times.
- 1:38:03SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I try to come down until I finally figured out a new route, and I'm like, now I got man.
- 1:38:10SPEAKER_08: There would be times where we're like, oh trapped, you're trapped, you're going to be able to do it.
- 1:38:14SPEAKER_06: No point on me getting anywhere early because from here to there, because I'm gonna get lost, I always get lost.
- 1:38:20SPEAKER_08: Now that I work downtown, I think I have a pretty good layout, especially Uber driving.
- 1:38:24SPEAKER_08: I've been doing that all this year.
- 1:38:25SPEAKER_08: Uber yeah, so now I really have extremely good knowledge of the streets and it's a lot of fun.
- 1:38:32SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's kind of like being a delivery driver.
- 1:38:34SPEAKER_06: You end up like where to go and work for like you.
- 1:38:38SPEAKER_08: I currently Uber at nighttime.
- 1:38:40SPEAKER_08: Yeah, so I do my Uber drive my normal job during the day, and then I Uber at night.
- 1:38:46SPEAKER_08: Wow, that's great.
- 1:38:47SPEAKER_08: I was DoorDashing for a while, but um, had been wanting to do actually I feel like you make more money on DoorDash than um Uber, and there's less goings-on, you know, because it's not like the human aspect of it.
- 1:39:01SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 1:39:01SPEAKER_08: But um driving Uber is very rewarding in Corpus.
- 1:39:05SPEAKER_08: You know, you pick up a lot of older people and things like that.
- 1:39:10SPEAKER_08: And um, I really feel like sometimes God gets to work his miracles through me just as being an Uber driver.
- 1:39:17SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and you get to really have a sense of the city of who's in here and everything.
- 1:39:20SPEAKER_08: We got a lot of old people, and I think we need to young it up a little bit, um, and stuff.
- 1:39:27SPEAKER_08: Uh, but we're we'll get there, and it's a lot of fun.
- 1:39:30SPEAKER_08: I did have a little old man fall on fall down out of my car.
- 1:39:33SPEAKER_08: Oh no.
- 1:39:33SPEAKER_07: Uh, ever since then, I haven't turned it on again.
- 1:39:41SPEAKER_07: All right.
- 1:39:44SPEAKER_08: It was his fault.
- 1:39:45SPEAKER_08: He was like, me hit that before you drop me off.
- 1:39:47SPEAKER_08: Can we get a coke?
- 1:39:48SPEAKER_08: And he wanted it from Wendy's because they were dollars.
- 1:39:50SPEAKER_08: Oh, but I was trying not to do that, so I skipped that route to try not to do that.
- 1:39:55SPEAKER_08: He's like, Oh, plus you didn't go that way, but we can go right here, McDonald's.
- 1:39:59SPEAKER_07: Oh my god.
- 1:40:02SPEAKER_08: Not to worry.
- 1:40:03SPEAKER_07: He's like, We have a backup plan.
- 1:40:08SPEAKER_04: So I went ahead and bought us.
- 1:40:10SPEAKER_04: Older people are like that.
- 1:40:11SPEAKER_04: They just like they know, don't think you can trick me out of this.
- 1:40:14SPEAKER_04: I'll find another trick like a little kid.
- 1:40:18SPEAKER_07: You know, like how your mom used to do like around the block to not see the McDonald's or whatever.
- 1:40:23SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, no, I remember those size that, yeah, they're just always fighting back.
- 1:40:26SPEAKER_06: It's my dad used to be like that.
- 1:40:29SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and that's what he did to me.
- 1:40:31SPEAKER_08: So we I was like, okay, he was like, but they're not a dollar.
- 1:40:34SPEAKER_08: And I was like, okay, so I paid for the sodas.
- 1:40:41SPEAKER_05: You're gonna have to mark it.
- 1:40:45SPEAKER_05: Smarter than my dog.
- 1:40:49SPEAKER_06: Man, so you think that they're not thinking, but then they're thinking, but we always try.
- 1:40:53SPEAKER_06: My dad always had like the snappy remarks and always knew stuff, and I'm just because he was like, Do you know the tacarias charge you extra if you pay pay with credit card?
- 1:41:01SPEAKER_06: It's like, what?
- 1:41:02SPEAKER_06: And I was like, nah, dad, they can't do that legally.
- 1:41:04SPEAKER_06: I looked it up and I talked to them, and they're like, Yes, they charge extra if you use credit card, not cash.
- 1:41:08SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Yeah, I think it's their machine or whatever.
- 1:41:11SPEAKER_08: Yeah, certain places because that they do get charged a fee, but you know who is a Corpus Christi original?
- 1:41:16SPEAKER_08: My grandpa Jose the one they gave me the hundred bucks.
- 1:41:19SPEAKER_08: It's actually like a hundred and two.
- 1:41:22SPEAKER_08: Whoa, uh, next year he'll be a hundred and three.
- 1:41:26SPEAKER_08: See, I've been wanting to get some older people on the board.
- 1:41:31SPEAKER_08: Basically, with his bare hands is really cool.
- 1:41:34SPEAKER_08: You know who you should get on the podcast, who I love so much.
- 1:41:36SPEAKER_08: I don't know if y'all ever go to lunch here at the Whataburger downtown.
- 1:41:40SPEAKER_08: Miss Terry.
- 1:41:41SPEAKER_08: Miss Terry is 83 years old and she cleans the tables and brings and I have to keep her busy because she'll be like, Mihita, do you want to refill me?
- 1:41:48SPEAKER_08: I'm like, Miss Terry, I need a ketchup and I need three napkins and just because she gets excited, she wants to do stuff, you know, she wants to be busy.
- 1:41:56SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and she's like there with the tables, and she always takes the time to come and talk and everything.
- 1:42:00SPEAKER_08: But Miss Terry um is amazing.

- 1:42:31SPEAKER_08: Yolanda, I feel bad for her.
- 1:42:33SPEAKER_08: Uh not really though, because she killed so I mean I can't get over it.
- 1:42:39SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:42:40SPEAKER_08: I can't get over it.
- 1:42:41SPEAKER_08: I remember that.
- 1:42:41SPEAKER_08: I remember that.
- 1:42:41SPEAKER_08: I remember when Selena died, I lived in Molina and I would go to her house.
- 1:42:45SPEAKER_08: They had to put up that fence around because of me.
- 1:42:47SPEAKER_08: I was literally there all the time.
- 1:42:49SPEAKER_08: I was in Vill when that happened.
- 1:42:50SPEAKER_06: I was I remember walking to Balpark and everybody's buying her CDs and everything.
- 1:42:54SPEAKER_06: I already had her stuff, obviously.
- 1:42:55SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:42:55SPEAKER_06: Because we used to listen to her stuff, but I was just like, what?
- 1:42:57SPEAKER_06: And they're just like, Selena died.
- 1:42:59SPEAKER_06: I was like, what the?
- 1:43:00SPEAKER_08: What do y'all think about the Johnny Canales drama?
- 1:43:03SPEAKER_08: I love Johnny Canales.
- 1:43:04SPEAKER_08: Oh, it's cool, and I dressed up as Johnny, I dressed up as Johnny Canales following.
- 1:43:09SPEAKER_08: I love it.
- 1:43:10SPEAKER_08: And I love it.
- 1:43:11SPEAKER_08: And I recently got a little Johnny Canales artifact from one of my coworkers, and I love that.
- 1:43:15SPEAKER_08: But um, you know, he he was married to Nora and he has his daughters with Nora and everything like that.
- 1:43:21SPEAKER_08: And Nora Canales, his wife, who pretty much took care of him all the way until this very last days.
- 1:43:27SPEAKER_08: Um, but this woman has come out from the 90s and said that she was originally married to him and they did not get a divorce.
- 1:43:34SPEAKER_08: So his marriage to Nora is not a valid one because he never divorced the other one.
- 1:43:41SPEAKER_08: So she is, she filed a motion, I think, today or yesterday, that uh to freeze all assets so that Nora cannot sell off any properties or move any bank money or anything like that.
- 1:43:52SPEAKER_08: And this, and I'm just like, okay, dude, this was like '93, and you're bringing this up now.
- 1:43:57SPEAKER_08: Yeah, what's the point?
- 1:43:58SPEAKER_08: After they've built so much and have daughters and all this stuff.
- 1:44:01SPEAKER_08: And then she took care of Johnny on his deathbed.
- 1:44:05SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:44:06SPEAKER_08: You know, they that's that's great.
- 1:44:09SPEAKER_06: Unbelievable.
- 1:44:10SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:44:11SPEAKER_06: That's real life drama.
- 1:44:12SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I didn't know that.
- 1:44:13SPEAKER_06: I guess so.
- 1:44:13SPEAKER_06: This corpus barely happened.
- 1:44:15SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it barely happened because he just passed away not too long ago.
- 1:44:19SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:44:20SPEAKER_08: And as soon as he passed away, like probably a month later, she's like, Nope.
- 1:44:24SPEAKER_02: There was actually an uh there was another thing in the news.
- 1:44:26SPEAKER_02: An officer was like framing like a kid or something.
- 1:44:29SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, I heard about that.
- 1:44:31SPEAKER_06: I saw that Hamlin Middle School with a system, a weed vape.
- 1:44:35SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, I was talking to my friend about that the other day.
- 1:44:37SPEAKER_00: Dude, that kid must have been up to some hardcore shit if they had to frame him.
- 1:44:40SPEAKER_06: What the fuck?
- 1:44:42SPEAKER_04: They did like three other kids too, supposedly.
- 1:44:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so there's like a whole investigation.
- 1:44:46SPEAKER_04: Was it yeah, because they were talking about all the other kids they were bringing?
- 1:44:50SPEAKER_08: What the security guard at Miller High School was super cool.
- 1:44:53SPEAKER_08: He was Batman.
- 1:44:55SPEAKER_08: And he uh he would have a Batman like belt thing, and he on Halloween he would dress up as Batman and full-blown.
- 1:45:02SPEAKER_08: I don't know.
- 1:45:03SPEAKER_08: Miller High School was kind of like going to glee and everything.
- 1:45:05SPEAKER_08: Like Anastasia Davis went to high school with me and would be in full drag in the hallways.
- 1:45:11SPEAKER_08: No, like not a problem.
- 1:45:13SPEAKER_08: I remember she dressed up as um Marilyn Monroe for a sock hop um dance or favorites dance or something, and every football player, basketball player, baseball player was lining up to get a picture.
- 1:45:28SPEAKER_08: Like, because she had all the va-vah boom and the dress and was doing all the Anastasia Davis things that she does amazing.
- 1:45:35SPEAKER_06: Uh uh question.
- 1:45:37SPEAKER_06: Um what is what do y'all think about the whole drag thing coming up as like they has to be 18 plus or so and so because they feel the drags are being impressionable on kids.
- 1:45:49SPEAKER_06: What are y'all's thoughts on that?
- 1:45:51SPEAKER_06: Because I work very, I wouldn't say very close, but uh I do support the drag community.
- 1:45:54SPEAKER_06: Obviously, I've worked with them as well.
- 1:45:57SPEAKER_06: I don't see it's performance art, I don't see them coming up to kids.
- 1:46:02SPEAKER_06: I don't see them like I don't think we're it's gonna impression me, and of course if you're taking your kids.
- 1:46:06SPEAKER_06: I think kids you know that's on you.
- 1:46:09SPEAKER_08: You know when it's the kids gonna be gay, like you know, yeah.
- 1:46:13SPEAKER_06: But I mean it's more of like, oh, the the the jack queens are like making them you know gay or making them you know look at this like sexual stuff because they're dressed like this or like I don't know if y'all follow RuPaul's drag race, but there's a drag queen on there named Georges, and George's is from San Antonio, yeah, very Mexican upbringing, very macho dad, everything like that.
- 1:46:33SPEAKER_08: But there's pictures and videos of George's as a five-year-old like you know, strutting and dancing and flipping and doing all of the things.
- 1:46:43SPEAKER_08: Um, there's it's just undeniable that that little kid was gonna be a drag queen when he grew up.
- 1:46:48SPEAKER_08: Like there's just no way to deny that.
- 1:46:50SPEAKER_06: What do you guys think as guys?
- 1:46:51SPEAKER_06: Like, is it do you are you do you feel that like a drag show would be a pressurable on like I don't know.
- 1:46:58SPEAKER_08: Like I said, I think I always were like gonna be a stand-up comedian since birth.
- 1:47:02SPEAKER_08: Like literally.
- 1:47:03SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm really like honestly, I'm against the grain like on a lot of this stuff.
- 1:47:08SPEAKER_02: I'm more like of a on like the conservative side of it.
- 1:47:12SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's like that that's I'll just I I try not to bring it up that way.
- 1:47:17SPEAKER_06: As long as it's like 18 and older, though, do you feel that like it's safe?
- 1:47:20SPEAKER_06: I mean safe space.
- 1:47:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, of course, because at that point you can make your own decisions, you know what I mean?
- 1:47:24SPEAKER_06: You're kind of you know but as for like the parents that bring kids that work.
- 1:47:28SPEAKER_02: If the parents take their kids, then that that's on it's on the parents.
- 1:47:32SPEAKER_06: And yeah, usually that's how it was.
- 1:47:34SPEAKER_06: Like, no no drag show is like, hey, I want to cater to a kid, it's mainly adult themed, which has always been the deal.
- 1:47:41SPEAKER_06: So it's just like, why are they getting the hate because you want to bring your kid to the show?
- 1:47:47SPEAKER_06: Like it's just common sense.
- 1:47:49SPEAKER_08: I think it's like they it started coming up when drag queen started going into the libraries and reading to the kids in full drag, and that was a thing that was happening and that kind of stuff.
- 1:47:59SPEAKER_08: Um, I think that's where that kind of got stirred.
- 1:48:02SPEAKER_06: Well, to me, I felt like it's art, they're they're dressed up as a character, which is like even a straight person can dress up as a character.
- 1:48:08SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's just like just like just a drag queen.
- 1:48:11SPEAKER_08: There's the drag queen and the kid.
- 1:48:12SPEAKER_08: There's no way.
- 1:48:13SPEAKER_08: I mean, George's would used to like sneak into clubs and different things.
- 1:48:17SPEAKER_08: I remember uh Anastasia.
- 1:48:18SPEAKER_08: I remember the when House Rock was violet, Club Violet.
- 1:48:21SPEAKER_08: Oh, velvet, you know.
- 1:48:22SPEAKER_08: Velvet, velvet, sorry, velvet.
- 1:48:24SPEAKER_08: Oh my god.
- 1:48:25SPEAKER_08: I remember being there at 18 with the M's on the hands and seeing you know, Anastasia becoming Anastasia before my eyes.
- 1:48:35SPEAKER_08: I'm I that was magical.
- 1:48:36SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:48:37SPEAKER_06: And it it's it's just for me because uh being talking with them in the the younger ones.
- 1:48:42SPEAKER_06: I have even talked to some that their parents don't know they're doing drag.
- 1:48:45SPEAKER_06: They don't, and I'm like, how are you sticking out?
- 1:48:46SPEAKER_06: I'm like, oh shit.
- 1:48:47SPEAKER_06: And you're like, yeah, okay, you literally buy drag outfit, actually.
- 1:48:51SPEAKER_06: Yeah, very well.
- 1:48:54SPEAKER_06: But yeah, I'm just like, you know, I I feel like also for the drag performers, I just don't have that support from their family because they're scared that their family's being against them.
- 1:49:02SPEAKER_06: And I'm just like, and I've seen their performances, and it's nothing sexual, it's just them doing a performance act, and it looks like it's amazing.
- 1:49:10SPEAKER_06: Uh the the detail, and like there's one performer, uh Blasphemet.
- 1:49:15SPEAKER_06: Um he he puts uh he's a jag king and and drag, you know, as we see, it's it's a female um dressed as a man, and you know, we call him a he because it's you know that she's a jag king, and he's got this whole mask that he put, like the saw mask that he created himself, and he put incorporates that in his whole um act, and it's just awesome.
- 1:49:37SPEAKER_06: Arsenic just went to the Austin Drag Festival, supported, I mean, represented Corpus Christi.
- 1:49:42SPEAKER_06: He was at the Pride uh, you know, event, and he went out in a full vampire costume doing a whole vampire act, and at the end, he had smoke coming out of his back in his big eye.
- 1:49:56SPEAKER_06: Literally doing the act of him dying or whatever.
- 1:50:00SPEAKER_06: And it's that's where I see it's like it's performance art where it's like I don't see I mean a kid sh kids were there and it's just like that is like something they should see is like hey I can maybe not be a drag king or queen, but to to put that kind of knowledge into possibly being like an artist somehow somewhere just like if they can do this, maybe I can do that.
- 1:50:19SPEAKER_08: And it's just I mean, I don't have any kids, so I have no way to like say or anything, but I mean, just like how I would treat my kitty cat boundaries and different things, like that's just a normal upbringing to everyone.
- 1:50:33SPEAKER_08: There's time where I can love on you, and there's times where we have boundaries, and there's times where as your parent, I decided no on this communication and you have to, you know, do because you're my kid until you go and pay your own bills.
- 1:50:46SPEAKER_07: I I'm 39 and I pay my own bills, and my mom still puts boundaries on boundaries if your brother Hispanic parent is still alive, yeah.
- 1:50:55SPEAKER_04: You're still their kid, they'll still whoop you and they'll still do all the different things.
- 1:51:00SPEAKER_08: I mean, but I have no say so on that kind of subject as far as kids are concerned, because I don't have any of my own and I've never wanted any.
- 1:51:07SPEAKER_06: So, yeah, that's where I would have said, like, I would have drawn like a boundary as a mother.
- 1:51:10SPEAKER_06: I would have been like, okay, my kid is not ready to see that.
- 1:51:13SPEAKER_06: I would not take my kid to that.
- 1:51:16SPEAKER_06: Sorry about that.
- 1:51:16SPEAKER_06: I just feel like you know, the whole hate on the whole drag community over it, like it was there, the ones that did it.
- 1:51:22SPEAKER_06: It's just like, dude, they're not actively most drag queens in in gay people don't even like it.
- 1:51:27SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's not it's like in the like you can just flip it and be like, well, like the uh Christians, they're forcing it on the on true.
- 1:51:34SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 1:51:35SPEAKER_02: You could it's like any anything can be perverted, like you know what I mean.
- 1:51:39SPEAKER_00: If it's like you're saying it's art or I do mean anything, yeah.
- 1:51:43SPEAKER_02: I mean it can it can be like kind of taken to the extreme or whatever, I guess I could say.
- 1:51:48SPEAKER_06: Yeah, because actually my first horror movie was a uh uh religious film.
- 1:51:53SPEAKER_06: I was uh I don't know, my parents took me to some retreat and Blood of the Devils.
- 1:51:58SPEAKER_00: What?
- 1:51:58SPEAKER_00: Called the Devils.
- 1:51:59SPEAKER_06: The Devils.
- 1:52:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the Kent Burn, uh not Ken Burn.
- 1:52:03SPEAKER_06: I don't it was like it was about the apocalypse, right?
- 1:52:05SPEAKER_06: And there was blood in the the the river and everything, and I'm just like scared.
- 1:52:10SPEAKER_06: Like it scared me more than the Exorcist movie did when I was a little kid.
- 1:52:13SPEAKER_06: And I was just like, Mom, am I gonna die?
- 1:52:16SPEAKER_06: Like, what's going on?
- 1:52:17SPEAKER_02: The one that really tripped me out was the Chainsaw Massacre, the original one.
- 1:52:21SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:52:23SPEAKER_00: That's a perfect movie by the way.
- 1:52:24SPEAKER_06: They did not show that.
- 1:52:27SPEAKER_00: You know, you know what scared me?
- 1:52:29SPEAKER_00: The uh the terror the shitty remake that came out in like 2003 with Jessica Beale.
- 1:52:33SPEAKER_02: It's like over they over like overdid it or something, right?
- 1:52:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, no, it's not it's not a great movie, but that's the movie that scared me the most as a kid.
- 1:52:40SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 1:52:41SPEAKER_00: That terrible one.
- 1:52:42SPEAKER_00: And then I saw the original and then I was like, oh god, this is so much better.
- 1:52:47SPEAKER_06: I get it now.
- 1:52:47SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I like Rob Zombie's uh take on certain horror films.
- 1:52:50SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, Rob Zombie's a lot of fun.
- 1:52:53SPEAKER_06: Yeah, even though he casts his wife on everything.
- 1:52:56SPEAKER_06: But you know, it is what it is.
- 1:52:58SPEAKER_06: His wife is his movie.
- 1:52:59SPEAKER_06: I remember eating the concrete ones, and that was a lot of fun.
- 1:53:02SPEAKER_06: You're gonna stay down here.
- 1:53:04SPEAKER_06: Yeah, no, I I like this kind of psychological thrillers, uh, silence of the lambs.
- 1:53:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:53:09SPEAKER_06: Stuff like that.
- 1:53:10SPEAKER_02: So was it the the dragon or something like that?
- 1:53:13SPEAKER_02: Was it like the scene?
- 1:53:15SPEAKER_00: The red dragon.
- 1:53:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that one, yeah.
- 1:53:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I just seen that one recently.
- 1:53:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:53:19SPEAKER_06: Did you like it?
- 1:53:19SPEAKER_06: I don't see what sounds good.
- 1:53:21SPEAKER_02: No, it's all right.
- 1:53:22SPEAKER_06: All right.
- 1:53:22SPEAKER_06: The book is better.
- 1:53:23SPEAKER_06: Like I I read the books, the books are better.
- 1:53:25SPEAKER_06: So I mean, like as you usually are.
- 1:53:28SPEAKER_06: So uh but yeah, I know.
- 1:53:29SPEAKER_06: Uh I have a uh there's a book club uh my friend Ashley and Maria have together, and they had us read about the uh murders in uh oh shoot, over there in in Mexico where they killed that uh college kid.
- 1:53:42SPEAKER_06: Students.
- 1:53:42SPEAKER_06: Yeah, well that one college kid from from uh here, San Marcos, I think, or something like that.
- 1:53:47SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:53:48SPEAKER_06: And we were reading about it.
- 1:53:49SPEAKER_06: That was pretty graphic, and they actually made a movie on Netflix about it.
- 1:53:52SPEAKER_06: Oh wow.
- 1:53:52SPEAKER_06: Yeah, because they it was like a a satanic cult this guy uh put together, and he was also a drug dealer, and he killed like they found like all these drugs.
- 1:54:00SPEAKER_08: Yes, they need offerings.
- 1:54:01SPEAKER_08: Yeah, they have to do offerings.
- 1:54:02SPEAKER_06: The guy was like gay, but then he was married, and they were.
- 1:54:06SPEAKER_08: I've actually been to an entire shrine devoted to that, that's the um Santissime Muerte, and it was like weird because it's like a double shrine in Reynosa.
- 1:54:17SPEAKER_08: One half of the mountain is all in the color white, and the shrine is for this bus that had a car accident, and when the bus had the accident, everybody went missing, and all they found was the steering wheel with the hands of the driver on there, right?
- 1:54:32SPEAKER_08: One of those Mexican myth legends, but then you turn the corner and go around the other side of the mountain, and then it becomes darkness, and it's like all Santísima Muerta shrines, where people like drug dealers and stuff come and bring offerings so that they can pray for safe passage.
- 1:54:47SPEAKER_08: Right, yeah, yeah.
- 1:54:48SPEAKER_06: It's crazy, it's crazy like the whole religious aspect on certain like evil, uh, you know, not evil stuff like that.
- 1:54:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that's kind of crazy.
- 1:54:56SPEAKER_02: We'll wrap it, we gotta wrap it up, guys.
