Speaker 5 Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea or OSA in adults with obesity?

Speaker 9 They may be happening to you without you knowing.

Speaker 13 If anyone has ever said you snored loudly or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability, and concentration issues, it may be due to OSA.

Speaker 21 OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation.

Speaker 29 Hey, I'm Lindsay.

Speaker 30 Hydrodonitis superativa, HS, caused bumps and abscesses that made me feel embarrassed. I talked to my dermatologist and started a treatment that works for me, Cosentix.
I found relief.

Speaker 31 Cosentix secukinumab is prescribed for adults with moderate to severe hydridinitis superativa, HS. Don't use if allergic to COSENTIX.
Get checked for TB before starting.

Speaker 31 Increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur, like TB or other serious bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Some were fatal.

Speaker 31 Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, like fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches, or cough, had a vaccine or plan to, or if IBD symptoms develop or worsen.

Speaker 31 Serious allergic reactions and severe eczema-like skin reactions may occur. Learn more at 1-844-COSENTIX or COSENTIX.com.

Speaker 30 You're stronger than HS. Ask your dermatologist about Cosentix.

Speaker 32 Master distiller Jimmy Russell knew Wild Turkey Bourbon got it right the first time. So for over 70 years, he hasn't changed a damn thing.

Speaker 32 Our pre-prohibition style bourbons are aged longer and never watered down. So you know it's right too.

Speaker 32 For whatever you do with it, Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon makes an old-fashioned or bold fashion for bold nights out or at home.

Speaker 29 Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway.

Speaker 29 What advice would you give young comedians coming up in today's game?

Speaker 29 This is not only to comedians. This is to anybody trying to make it in anything that's different, different or non-traditional, trying to be a singer, that type of artist

Speaker 29 is

Speaker 29 you got to think outside the box, man. Like, and you got to treat it like it's your full-time.
Even if you have a full-time job, you know what I mean?

Speaker 29 If you're working at Subway, you got to get all your hours, but then afterward, you got to go and get double the hours and whatever it is your art or your craft is, man.

Speaker 29 Keep thinking. Just because you punch in, clock in, clock out, don't mean you're going to make progress.
Right. Like, you got to be the mind, body.

Speaker 29 Yeah. And you got to you got to like

Speaker 29 strategize, man.

Speaker 29 I didn't used to strategize until I had my son. Once I had my son, all I cared about was getting in the right rooms and just kind of like making friendships with people.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 Be ambitious, but never thirsty. Be confident, but never cocky.

Speaker 29 How does it feel? You told the story open, Mike. There are only a handful of people.

Speaker 29 Now you performing in front of sold-out theaters.

Speaker 29 Do you think about it, it, do you ever, when you're alone

Speaker 29 and just you and your thoughts, do you think about like, damn, Ralph, you come a long way, bro?

Speaker 29 Nah.

Speaker 29 I don't think about it too much. I just think about the next show and

Speaker 29 hope I can make that crowd laugh. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 29 If I sit there and think about it too much, I'm going to f ⁇ it up.

Speaker 29 I don't even keep like,

Speaker 29 Netflix gave me the microphone that performed that with the show. Yeah.
Put it in the case.

Speaker 29 I got like a little

Speaker 29 glass thing from this HBO competition I did a long time ago. Like, I don't even like keeping that.
So, in other words,

Speaker 29 you're not big on sentimentality. You're not big on nostalgia, huh? I mean, yeah, like for memories and stuff, but like stuff.
And I remember that. But that's a memory they gave me.

Speaker 29 Yeah, it's a memory. But I don't like to like...

Speaker 29 I'm not going to have a trophy room and be like, this.

Speaker 29 If you come to my house, I'm going to be like, this is the trophy I want from this.

Speaker 29 Let me me get that microphone. Like I'll give it to my dad and my grandma.
Like they can keep it if they want. But other than that, I don't like keeping that stuff.

Speaker 29 Do you feel like it's a blessing and a curse? Like a lot of the stuff, you do release some of your stuff on the internet.

Speaker 29 Do you feel like when you release something on the internet, it spreads like wildfire and it limits your ability to do said joke at a later date in time?

Speaker 29 Yeah, if I've released something online, man, you might catch me doing that joke. Like if I do a joke,

Speaker 29 if I release a joke online, i might not say that joke on stage again till like two three years later wow you know yeah but other than that i always i don't release it until i know i got some more fuel in the tank for the live shows

Speaker 29 having comedians i love have i love comedians and i love having them on and they tell the story but it seems like to me some of them like bro they got it so much easier now than what we had it when we were growing up because we had to put the time in.

Speaker 29 You know, you had to work on your craft and they feel like... Well, they had to go through the gatekeepers, too.
Like, and I don't know how you say gatekeepers. They're gatekeepers?

Speaker 29 No, they're not gatekeepers. No, I'm saying, but there are such things are gatekeepers.

Speaker 29 Well, yeah, I mean, not necessarily gatekeepers, but like, like you said, like the industry, whoever's booking this, you got to go through bookers, you got to go through casting directors.

Speaker 29 Like, back then, you know, they had to back, like,

Speaker 29 I had to build a relationship with, you know, club managers, club owners to get to do opening gigs, right? Like, that's how it goes, whatever.

Speaker 29 But then, you know, once I started going viral, it's like

Speaker 29 I could sell tickets. Whereas, you know, back, you know, early 2000s, 90s, and before, they had to build a relationship just to get into the clubs.

Speaker 29 Once they're in the clubs, well, they have to hope that maybe this comic will throw them a bone and get them in front of this booker.

Speaker 29 They got to hope that that booker will throw them a bone and get in front of this person. So, like, yeah, I know that's harder.

Speaker 29 Hey, but also, they got to do the thing, like you said, they got to recycle jokes over and over and over again. They didn't have to burn their jokes to get to where I'm at.
Right.

Speaker 29 I had to burn, like, I used to write every joke in a notebook. I had stacks, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 29 Yeah, I basically had to burn these notebooks to get to where I'm at. You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 And so, once I got in front of the audiences that were buying tickets to my shows, like, damn, like, it took an hour of my material just to get here. Now, I got to think of a whole other hour.

Speaker 29 Another hour, you know.

Speaker 29 Netflix, how do you get the Netflix special, and how did that change your career, your your life, basically?

Speaker 29 My manager and my agent, when I first started booking shows in LA, like I was saying, like the Chicago ones, the LA ones were selling out so fast.

Speaker 29 And my manager and my agent invited a lot of industry people out there, like people from Netflix, people from Hulu, from Warner, whatever companies, you know what I mean?

Speaker 29 And Netflix, they liked the show. And I think what also helped a lot, I mean, I could be wrong, you know, but I'm pretty confident what

Speaker 29 helped a lot was that

Speaker 29 Dave Chappelle co-signed, which shout out to him. Yeah, Chappelle.

Speaker 29 Yeah, he's like a deal. Yeah, I think there was a rumor.
This could be all wrong, you know, it's just a rumor, but there was a rumor that, like,

Speaker 29 one of the dudes who's the head of comedy at Netflix hadn't heard back from Chappelle in a minute or something, but then

Speaker 29 Chappelle said something. He said something nice about me.
Like, he finally texted him and and was like, yo, like, dude, pretty funny. Like, right.

Speaker 29 Because Chappelle, the same week that I'm performing in LA

Speaker 29 and in front of all these industry people, Dave Chappelle just pops in. And, like, that's when I met him.
And just hung out and shit. Like, it was cool as hell.

Speaker 29 So

Speaker 29 that week just made me look so good in front of everybody, I think. You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 Have a Netflix. You know, Netflix normally come with a big check.

Speaker 29 That was a big check.

Speaker 29 What'd you buy?

Speaker 29 Man.

Speaker 29 Did you you get yourself anything? I mean, when you were growing up, if you said, you know what, let's just say for the sake of argument, you're from the ages of six to 16.

Speaker 29 And you said, if I, man, if I ever get my hands on some money, I'm going to buy what?

Speaker 29 I bought two cars. I bought a 1996 Impollo Super Sport, and I bought a 1990 Nissan Skyline GTR R32.

Speaker 29 And then I took my grandma and my mom out of debt.

Speaker 29 Now, I like that last part, but I don't know why you bought that skyline. Why?

Speaker 29 I love that car.

Speaker 29 What do you, Tokyo Drift? Nah, those don't drift, they're all-wheel drive. Come on, Shannon.
Don't be racist. Nah, man.

Speaker 29 But I do understand. I like the Caprice,

Speaker 29 the Super Sport. I like the 1996.
It's not Caprice. What you get? Please don't offend me.
It's an Impala. And I know they're identical, whatever.

Speaker 29 But it's not the same. You still have it? Yes.
Actually, so that first one I bought, I remember I bought it because it had like 2,000 original miles on it. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 29 The guy who sold it to me used to go get his cuts at the barbershop I worked at.

Speaker 29 He held on to it for a year for me. I was like, bro, I'm about to pop off.
I know I am. Like, I know I am.
Hold on.

Speaker 29 Give me one year. And he gave me a year and I went and

Speaker 29 got it. Cashed him out.
But I actually sold it so that I could buy one. I bought a cheaper one from an auction because that one, I wanted to change it up and do stuff to it.

Speaker 29 But, you know, that with 2,000 original, it had like 1,600 miles, really.

Speaker 29 It's only going to keep its value if you don't drive it. Right.
And I started learning that. You want to drive, so you wanted something that you could drive.

Speaker 29 You ain't no guy that's going to get a car and sit on it. You ain't putting in the drive.
I don't want to collect. Like, I want to drive these cars, push them out.

Speaker 29 So I went and bought a cheaper one with a whole bunch of oil leaks and everything. And

Speaker 29 me and my friend Luis, he's here too. He's the one that really taught me how to, he's been teaching me to work on cars.
We changed the suspension, all the suspension to a QA1 suspension.

Speaker 29 We took out the motor.

Speaker 29 We're building an LS to put in there.

Speaker 29 We're getting a transportation. But then why'd you just keep it?

Speaker 29 Yeah, I mean, the Netflix money had broke you off. You weren't going to be hurt for that money if you just kept side on it.
Nah, I don't want to. It's just going to sit there.

Speaker 29 It's taking the real estate.

Speaker 29 Let me ask you a question.

Speaker 29 Before the Netflix thing kicked you off,

Speaker 29 were you making good money in comedy? Yeah.

Speaker 29 Yeah, we were touring for like almost a good year before I got the Netflix special. Really? Yeah.
So how many, so let me ask, how many shows do you do?

Speaker 29 Okay, say you go and let's just say you're here in Vegas. You're going to do two shows, right? Two shows tonight? Two shows tomorrow.
Two tonight at the No, one show tonight, one show tomorrow.

Speaker 29 But it's a bigger, it's a

Speaker 29 bigger venue, yeah. Yeah.
So it's what, 2,500, 3,000 seats, 5,000? Well, now you make me feel shitty. It's 1,700.
Sorry, it's not living up to your expectations. No, no, I'm just saying.

Speaker 29 No, but I'm saying. 1,700 seats.
Yeah. Yeah.
And you sold out those? Nah, I think we're close, but I don't think we're going to sell them out. I think we're right under.

Speaker 29 Where is this at? The Venetian? At the Venetian. Okay.
Unless you can release this episode like in the next hour, I don't know

Speaker 29 how they were going to sell out. No, but we're going to hype it up for the Hulu special.
Yeah. Yeah, that's what you, you know, the Hulu special.
That we're going to make that bread. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Well, you already done cut the check now. But now, but when they see you on the Hulu special, they're like, man, that dude funny, man.
I'm going to go check him out.

Speaker 29 He's coming close by. So that's what we do.
Well, I just, when you like,

Speaker 29 and this is something Dave Chappelle told me. When you put your jokes out there on a special, it's like a funeral for your jokes.
And you want the most people to see that funeral. Yeah.

Speaker 29 So, like, I want everybody to watch my Hulu special August 8th. It's called Planet Bosa.

Speaker 29 Is it easier coming up with jokes when you're broke as opposed to when you have bread? Yeah.

Speaker 29 Oh, hungry. All hungry and horny.

Speaker 29 Now I'm now I got a belly and I'm satisfied.

Speaker 29 Brene Vaca, we sat down, we talked about this. He said,

Speaker 29 he brought up the scene from Rocky 3

Speaker 29 when Mickey's telling Rock, he's like, you got civilized. Yeah.
He's like, bro, he's like, we got civilized. He's like.

Speaker 29 But I was like, nah, I don't think we got that civilized. Because we go out there, we still have fun, man.

Speaker 29 like like it's comedy is very like I don't I don't care if I have money or not like I still want to crack a joke right you know what I mean

Speaker 29 but you said you know so do you have a greater appreciation for a guy let's just say like a

Speaker 29 a Chappelle a Cat Williams a Kevin Hart these guys that have these big big followings and they've made it

Speaker 29 And they still

Speaker 29 keep coming up with material. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 I have so much respect. Because it's kind of like an athlete.

Speaker 29 You know, an athlete that, you know, works his way up, he's hungry, he's driven, and then all of a sudden he's making 50, 60, 100 million a year, and he's still Floyd Mayweather.

Speaker 29 Guy that worked his heart out of Grand Rapids, come to Vegas, and whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, you ever see those pictures of like

Speaker 29 Picasso or like whatever artist?

Speaker 29 And they're like, this is them in their home studio. Yeah.
Right. Working on their art.
And it's just paintings everywhere. Yes.
They're somewhere beautiful. And they're in this beautiful house.

Speaker 29 So like, yeah, I think of that when I think of like, you know, Chappelle, Cat Williams, whoever, because they're still able to work on their, on their jokes, their craft, they're still delivering.

Speaker 29 But, you know, they're well off. I know they're so successful, but they're still like.
It's still driven. Yeah.

Speaker 29 And I don't, like, my biggest fears, and that's why I say every time somebody hypes me up or says something like how you introduced me,

Speaker 29 it's like, okay, like, yeah, I got the nice house now. It was like, but am I still filling it up with Picasso's with paintings? Like, so it's like, it just makes me want to get back to the the canvas.

Speaker 29 You said having nice rims was more important than moving out of your parents' house.

Speaker 29 Yeah. Hell yeah.
So the cars that you bought with the money, so you only have two cars? Nah, I got a bunch of cars. Damn! You can only drive one.

Speaker 29 That's just the first cars I bought with Netflix money. So what's.
How many cars do you have?

Speaker 29 Two. You can only drive one? I mean,

Speaker 29 I got a 12-year-old Range Rover and a 5-year-old BMW. Damn.

Speaker 29 Let me me know if everyone sells a beam. What kind of beamer do you got? I got

Speaker 29 a 2020

Speaker 29 B-12. M.

Speaker 29 What is that? Like an AM. 760.
760. 760.
Damn. Matte red interior.
Those are a little big for my taste. I like something a little smaller, something you can really take corners.

Speaker 29 You see there, you go, nah, nah. But see,

Speaker 29 big guy, I got to have some room. I ain't trying to be all.

Speaker 29 Nah, I need to be like.

Speaker 29 So what? You got a Ferrari? You got a Lambo? You got the... Nah, I got real cars, man.

Speaker 29 What about real cars? I like those cars too, but

Speaker 29 I got a real car.

Speaker 29 I got a GTR, R35.

Speaker 29 I got a 1971 GTR.

Speaker 29 I got my Impala. I got a 2025 single cab F-150.
They call those the Mexican GTRs.

Speaker 29 Did you always want a pickup truck? Did you like, if I ever get some bread and I can become, when I become an adult, I'm going to get a pickup?

Speaker 29 It wasn't like I dreamed of pickups, but it's like, come on, man. Everybody needs a pickup.
No, they don't. Yeah.
No, I want a pickup. Whatever.
I don't know. I thought, you know, I did come close.

Speaker 29 Before I got the BMW, I thought about getting the,

Speaker 29 you know, Shelby does a pickup. Yeah.
Yeah. Go get it.
I do.

Speaker 29 Go get you one.

Speaker 29 Man, I love these trucks.

Speaker 29 I got an 87 C10.

Speaker 29 It's getting worked on right now. We got so much work between it.
Like, we're trying to get this automotive channel to keep gaining traction. You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 And we work on different cars right now. Me and my buddy are working on his 240.
We just did a video with our buddy from Houston, Freddie LSX, where we raced him.

Speaker 29 We put Nas and the Turbo on his little shitty 240. And

Speaker 29 like a Nissan 240? 1989-240. It's a horrible idea he had.

Speaker 29 I used to have

Speaker 29 a 300E. Oh, yeah.
1987. Yeah.
Nice. See, that was that T-Talk.

Speaker 29 Why'd you get rid of it? Man, come on, bro.

Speaker 29 Those are the funny things.

Speaker 29 You those cars up and

Speaker 29 don't even blink twice. You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 But it was fun. It was nice.
You know, I had the collar, you know, it looked nice. But yeah, we've been working on these cars.
So

Speaker 29 I'm in the habit of a habit of yours. Huh? That's a passion of yours, working on cars.
Yeah, I love cars, man.

Speaker 29 I love driving them a lot. And so, like, we're trying to...

Speaker 29 I'm in the habit right now of just buying stuff that's going to be good for the channel and that I think is fun. If I think it's fun, I think it's good for the channel.
You know what I mean? Right.

Speaker 29 So like we went on marketplace and bought this little shitty 350Z from a crackhead and now I'm turning it into a drift car.

Speaker 29 I'm going to replace the whole suspension and you just got to be talking about how stereotyping and now you don't turn balls up and turn it to a drift car. I got, yeah, like I like.

Speaker 29 But that one's real-wheeled drive. You see what I'm saying?

Speaker 29 So it's like, I'm in the habit of buying just more cars that

Speaker 29 I think other people

Speaker 29 can,

Speaker 29 the common person can afford them and maybe do the shit that I'm doing.

Speaker 29 I didn't know a lot about the mechanical side. I used to do pain and body, but I didn't really do a lot of mechanical side.

Speaker 29 So I hope that through watching the channel, people can watch and be like, oh, shit, I can do that too at my house. You got a bro.

Speaker 29 You got a lot of jobs, bro. Man, I just, look, God blessed me with a mind,

Speaker 29 a working mind and a working body. So I want to utilize, man.
Like, you ever see something and you'll be like, oh, man, I kind of want to try that. No.
Nah.

Speaker 29 Nothing ever. Not even yoga.
You look like you do yoga. I used to do yo.
I used to do yoga and Pilates when I played, but not now. I don't, my, my attention span is not that long.
I can't.

Speaker 29 There's never been something that you're like, oh, I would like to kind of learn that. Like, everything that we want to learn is learnable.

Speaker 29 Yeah, but if I had learned it, now I just don't have the patience. So you got, you have to have patience to do stuff what you're doing.
Yeah, I think I do have patience. Yeah.

Speaker 29 I don't mind, like, if I'm 45 and I want to go learn how to bake or something, like, I don't mind being the oldest dude in a banking class. You know what I mean? No,

Speaker 29 I'm going to go to the grocery store and go to the bakery department.

Speaker 29 Grab that. You got your first apartment.

Speaker 29 Oh, yeah. Wow.

Speaker 29 Yeah, I mean, you decked that. The only one that I got with my uncle.

Speaker 29 I didn't put that in the joke when I got my first apartment. You laced that thing out? That thing with wall-to-wall furniture.
You know, you got to tease me. My uncle, thankfully, he had furniture.

Speaker 29 I had a mattress. Now,

Speaker 29 I had one of those, what do they call it? The platform bed. Okay.
You know, lower the ground. Then I had like

Speaker 29 some dressers. My uncle lived with me and my grandma when I was a kid for like two months.

Speaker 29 And he decked it out. He was there for two months, but man, he decked it out.
And he left some badass furniture. And I remember when he left, he said, anything I leave in this room, you can have it.

Speaker 29 So I was like 14 with just like high-end furniture. That was still the furniture I had when I was 23 and I got the apartment.

Speaker 29 I think to this day, I've never even bought furniture. Really? I know you ain't still got that furniture that your uncle lived in.
Nah, nah.

Speaker 29 I just let my loved ones, like, they'll be like, hey,

Speaker 29 my stepmom, or like, even my son's mom has helped me out with being like, hey, when you're out of town, like, do you want me to get you some furniture? Like, you don't got shit. And so they've.

Speaker 29 They hook it up for you. Yeah, I was leaving some money, and when I come back, they're going to bless me.
Help me understand this.

Speaker 29 You live

Speaker 29 with your family.

Speaker 29 Why do you look so disappointed, Shannon? No, I've just come out. I just just want to know this.
Where do you live? Where you want to bring someone over?

Speaker 29 How did that work? I'm on the road, baby.

Speaker 29 So you don't never, when you go home, you don't never see nobody. You just.
I'm with my son. Okay.
Yeah. I don't really.
My son is jealous. He don't like when I.

Speaker 29 I've been on a few dates back home, but my son don't like that. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 I've introduced him to maybe two girls in his life. And he don't like sharing the time.
Right.

Speaker 29 Because he gets so few of it with you because you're on the road so much. Do you ever bring him on the road? I've taken him on like two road gigs.
Yeah. He likes it? Yeah, he likes traveling.

Speaker 29 He likes Denver. He liked that.
It was snowing. Yeah.

Speaker 29 So

Speaker 29 good luck with that one. Investing.
You say you invested. So the money that you're making now

Speaker 29 with the Netflix stuff, you got Hulu when you tour, you're investing in your channel. Is that where you're putting your money? You buy property? So what's your investment?

Speaker 29 What's the thing that makes you buy generational wealth? Oh, man, I'm not even worried about generational wealth.

Speaker 29 Why I gotta take care of the next generation for it? Your kids are the generation. They ain't gonna learn how to work.

Speaker 29 You know what I mean? Why am I gonna leave them rich? Then how are they gonna no? I think you leave them alone.

Speaker 29 You leave them enough

Speaker 29 to do something, but not enough to do nothing. Man, I gotta leave them with as much knowledge as I possibly can and a little bit of money to make sure

Speaker 29 to make sure they don't start off at ground zero, maybe. I wanna leave them with more valuable knowledge than I do with money, man.
Right.

Speaker 29 If I leave money to anybody, it's just to whatever family I have that maybe isn't able to work or whatever. Right.
But that's on them. Did you buy that Hawk Tui coin?

Speaker 29 Nah. Hell no.

Speaker 29 That shit sounded so stupid.

Speaker 29 I don't know who it is. But it seems like everybody else getting the coin, man, and making bread off it.
They was working now or what?

Speaker 29 I don't know. I didn't look.

Speaker 29 Did you invest in Bitcoin? Hell no.

Speaker 29 I don't understand digital currency. I don't understand it either.
And so for me, it doesn't make sense. I mean, I need to know a little something about it.
And then, you know, you can't have it.

Speaker 29 You have to have the password wrote down somewhere and you get locked out of your pocket.

Speaker 29 I don't get it. Like, everybody's always looking, and my dad's always talking about that, too.
He's like, you need to... capitalize like on every opportunity.
No, you don't.

Speaker 29 Sometimes, like, I'm making good money. Yeah.

Speaker 29 I don't like. Ain't no sense in chasing it.

Speaker 29 You could be making billions. For what? Yeah, and I could be losing.
Yeah, I could be losing what I have right now, man.

Speaker 29 Like I said, my belly's full, man.

Speaker 29 You met

Speaker 29 Kevin Hart at the Netflix party. What was that experience like with Kev? I didn't know about that.

Speaker 29 Yeah, that was cool, though. He was so nice.

Speaker 29 He was just cool. He looked so beautiful.

Speaker 29 No offense to everybody else who was at that party, but the thing I took away the most from that party was

Speaker 29 it was during the festival, and

Speaker 29 every celebrity that i met at that party or that i even looked at

Speaker 29 looked pretty beat up yeah including myself yeah

Speaker 29 and and maybe it was from party maybe it was just from working so much you know this is a crazy lifestyle and and a lot of the celebrities i met there they're way more successful than i am i could only imagine the the stresses and the work that they have right

Speaker 29 And I look at Kevin Kevin Hart, and he looks so much more beautiful than everybody there and so much well. Like, he ain't got no worry, no stress.
No, I think they injected him with like

Speaker 29 just nutritions before he walked in. But he was so nice.
He was so cool, man. And he was just like, hey, man, people speak highly of you.

Speaker 29 I don't know what to say. I was so nervous.
I was like, hey, people speak highly of you, too. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Yeah,

Speaker 29 he got some stuff.

Speaker 29 We went to that Speed Vegas yesterday. Yeah.
That was tight, man. That was my first time driving on like a circuit track.
It's tight. I'm going to go to see.
I want to see SEMA.

Speaker 29 You ever been to SEMA auto show? Nah. I went to PRI.
Yeah. It's not as big as SEMA, but it's just more concentrated on like racing products only.

Speaker 29 But I hope I can get it to SEMA this year because you got to work in the car industry to get in there. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 29 I'm going to try to. I hope there's a lot of girls there.

Speaker 29 You smoke with Chappelle? Yeah, hell yeah. I'm not going to.

Speaker 29 He had some good weed. He had some good stuff.
I only, the weed, I didn't even take no hits of his weed at first because I was about to go perform. Right.
And I knew he was was going to watch.

Speaker 29 So I didn't want to be too high.

Speaker 29 And I'm up there in my head too much. So I was just like, nah, I will wait.
But so when I met him, I met him. I had two shows that night.
Right.

Speaker 29 And I met him right before my first show, right before I went on stage.

Speaker 29 So then I go on stage and he watches a little bit of the show. And they

Speaker 29 in the, because at the Hollywood Improv, there's another room called the Lab. It's a smaller room.

Speaker 29 When that comedian in that room was wrapping up his show, Chappelle just popped in and was like, Hey, anybody want to stay and hang out? Like, I'm going to just jump on stage, you know, like, right.

Speaker 29 So, everybody stayed, you know, obviously, Chappelle. So, when I got off stage for my first show, the manager of the club was like, Hey, Chappelle said, go in that room now.

Speaker 29 So, I went over there and I got on stage with him and I smoked cigarettes with him. I had never smoked cigarettes.
I had smoked cigarettes before that.

Speaker 29 Salem, business. Nah, I hadn't smoked enough to even choose like my own.

Speaker 29 My first HBO appearance got me smoking cigarettes, but not regularly.

Speaker 29 I was just,

Speaker 29 I appeared on HBO, but I was still very local. It didn't take me, it didn't really

Speaker 29 give me a career.

Speaker 29 So I showed up to the next local open mic at home after my HBO appearance, and I had a feeling that a lot of the comics were going to ask me about it, and I got so anxious, so nervous.

Speaker 29 And comedians, a lot of comedians smoke cigarettes. Really? Yeah.
So I went outside with the comedians that were smoking cigarettes. And to calm my nerves, I went and smoked with them.

Speaker 29 So I smoked a couple cigarettes so that when I met Chappelle, I wasn't just like, it's my first time. Like, you know what I mean?

Speaker 29 But yeah, I got on stage with him. And

Speaker 29 Chappelle, yeah, I was going to smoke with him, man.

Speaker 29 You meet Chappelle. He gave you any advice?

Speaker 29 Not like right off the bat.

Speaker 29 He did tell me, though, he was like, man,

Speaker 29 you're like, he's like, I'm not no teacher, nothing like that. But if there's anything you want to talk about,

Speaker 29 anything I could show you, like, just hit me up. So when I closed the deal with Netflix, I asked asked him, like,

Speaker 29 what are the do's and don'ts? Or, like, what's the general direction I should go in now? And he kind of gave me, he sent me like these, like, four or five mini paragraphs.

Speaker 29 And I was like, this is what you got to do. This is what I recommend you do, you know? And yeah, I think thanks to that, I had a good Netflix special.

Speaker 29 Are there any comedians that you haven't met that you'd like to meet?

Speaker 29 Um,

Speaker 29 nah, I mean, not really. I wish I could have met Norman McDonald.
Rest in peace to him. I thought he was really funny.
Like,

Speaker 29 I wish I could have met Bernie Mac.

Speaker 29 Mac. Yeah, he has jokes that I think people would have tried to cancel for it.
Cancel him. Oh, yeah, yeah.
You know, back it, back, way back when, I mean, him and Pryor.

Speaker 29 A person like that, though, a person that will say stuff like that on stage, I could only imagine what it was like hanging out with him in person. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Speaker 29 So I wish I could have met Bernie Mac, man. Oh, okay.

Speaker 29 sorry, have you ever been starstruck by anybody?

Speaker 29 I was pretty starstruck when Chappelle walked in or when I met Kevin Hart, but at the same time, like, I just, you know, I mean, I don't know what it is to be starstruck.

Speaker 29 I don't know when I'm annoying somebody, right? So maybe I have annoyed somebody, like, but like, I don't know.

Speaker 29 Like, I don't, I don't like asking for pictures because I'm like, nah, they're probably tired of it.

Speaker 29 But

Speaker 29 I don't know. I don't know if I've necessarily been like super starstruck.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 You know, Joe Rogan, and everybody that I've had, when I talk about Joe Rogan, they talk about from Miss Pat to all, I mean, a lot of people talk about how Rogan helps comedians that's trying to come up.

Speaker 29 Have you ever met Rogan? Yeah, I did his show one time.

Speaker 29 I'm supposed to do his show again. By the time this comes out, I probably would have done it already.
But I'm so nervous on that show. I don't know what to talk about on that.

Speaker 29 Everybody that goes on the show has conspiracy theories up to Wazoo. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Or they're just like, you know, really funny and stuff. And I don't know.
I don't know what to talk about on the show like that. It's too much.
Like, I'll go on there.

Speaker 29 I'll talk about whatever, but I feel like I'm not giving them good conversation. Yeah.

Speaker 29 They're conspiracy. They talk about the world is flat.
There's, you know. And then they got like science on like why

Speaker 29 flamingos can actually lift barbells or something.

Speaker 29 I don't know what to talk about.

Speaker 29 I haven't done my research.

Speaker 29 You said that Adam Sandler, you know, you wanted to be kind of like a comedic actor like Adam Sandler. Have you ever met Adam? Once, yeah.
He gave me a hug.

Speaker 29 I didn't want to let him go.

Speaker 29 I love Adam Sandler. You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 Like anybody else. Like, I grew up watching his movies and

Speaker 29 had a general, my manager, my agent set up like general meetings.

Speaker 29 You know, you get to meet with like production studios and they get to know you.

Speaker 29 They'll ask you questions like, do you want to write movies? Do you want to write TV shows? Do you want to act?

Speaker 29 you know, because that's how they get to know you and see if they could ever use you in anything. And they told me, they're like, yeah, we got your meeting with Happy Madison.
So he might be there.

Speaker 29 He might not be. And I'm in this meeting with these two dudes.
And

Speaker 29 it's pretty cool. Lay back.
And all of a sudden, he just opens the door. He's like, who's this guy?

Speaker 29 I was like, how you doing, Mr. Sandlers? Like, my name's Ralph Barbosa, whatever.

Speaker 29 They introduced me to him. They're like, oh, yeah, yeah, he's got a Netflix special.
And he's like, oh, congrats to you. He's like, is your family excited for you?

Speaker 29 I was like, man, some of them, some of them don't understand a word I'm saying on stage. Like, they don't know what's going on.

Speaker 29 And he was just real cool, man. He gave me a hug, and he was cool as hell.
Right.

Speaker 29 Acting. Have you given up that? Nah.
No, no, no. I had a couple acting roles.
Okay. I had one on the show Mo.
Shout out to my buddy Mo Amer. Okay.
I don't know if you've ever seen the show Mo.

Speaker 29 That show is like necessary right now. It's on Netflix.
It's hilarious. Okay.

Speaker 29 Check it out. He wrote me in on the first episode of season two.

Speaker 29 Season one is good.

Speaker 29 Season two, I think, is even better. Season two is very necessary, especially with the things that are going on now.

Speaker 29 I think Mo

Speaker 29 it is crazy that Mo like wrote this with his team and to see all the stuff that that's been going on after he wrote it. Like, it's almost like he was predicting the future.

Speaker 29 Like, it just, it just touches on a lot of the stuff that's heavy in America right now and the world, maybe. You know what I

Speaker 29 But I was on that show. He wrote me in that show.
And I did a commercial for Verizon. What I was doing is Spanish.
Right. And they didn't like the way I spoke Spanish.

Speaker 29 I mean,

Speaker 29 is there a way to speak Spanish? Yeah, apparently I speak like a country type Spanish. They say my Spanish is from North Mexico, which it is.
That's where my family's from, North Mexico.

Speaker 29 But they were like, you need to talk like a neutral Spanish. And they had me with a dialect coach.
And I didn't want to do it, but then they gave me a lot of money. So I was like, all right.

Speaker 29 I was like, but don't worry, Mexicans, I'll spread this money amongst the community.

Speaker 29 George Lopez went viral. Basically, he was, I guess they say he was hating on you, saying that nobody knew you.

Speaker 29 Get that. People from our community, when it should be a positive, should be uplifting.
Somebody from the community got out.

Speaker 29 Instead,

Speaker 29 somebody from the community says something negative.

Speaker 29 When you heard, I don't know if you heard it, but I'm sure if you didn't hear it directly, I'm sure some family, friends, or loved ones told you or relayed to you what he had said.

Speaker 29 Everybody sent me a video. How did it make you feel? I didn't care.
You're a grown man. He can say whatever he wants.
It's his podcast. He paid for the equipment.

Speaker 29 Also,

Speaker 29 like,

Speaker 29 I wasn't too hurt about it because I wasn't like a big Lopez fan growing up. Right.
Some of my friends were into his stand-up, but

Speaker 29 I didn't think... Like, and I'm not saying he's not funny.
Right.

Speaker 29 You know, I just wasn't into George Lopez. So, like, you know, if it had been Adam Sandler, Dave Chappelle was like,

Speaker 29 but he's Hispanic. He's from the community.
It hurts more. I ain't going to lie.
It hurts more when somebody from the community says something negative about me. I guess so.
I don't know.

Speaker 29 It just didn't really hurt too bad, you know.

Speaker 29 He's a veteran comedian. Maybe he's from South Mexico.

Speaker 29 Nah.

Speaker 29 As far as I was concerned, I'm like, look, man, I don't, like, if he wants to talk shit,

Speaker 29 what the, like, him then, you know, but it didn't hurt me too bad. And he's a veteran comedian.
Like, I think he's going to go down as one of the goats. And

Speaker 29 he outranks me. He could say that stuff, like, you know what I mean? Like, man,

Speaker 29 I don't know what's going to happen in the future. Like, I can't just sit here and be like, ah, why are you doing that to me, George? Like, whatever.

Speaker 29 Like, what if when I'm his age, I'm doing the same thing? I don't know what I'm going to be like. You're going to be hating?

Speaker 29 I hate so many people right now.

Speaker 29 I might.

Speaker 29 Nah, I hope not. I hope not.
But he apologized.

Speaker 29 Did you guys have a private conversation? On the phone, yeah. He called me and he apologized.
And I told him I didn't even want him to apologize. I'm like, bro, he was a fk.
He's like,

Speaker 29 okay. But he was like, nah, no, no, no.
He's like, he's like, I didn't. He said, I really didn't know who you were.

Speaker 29 And he's like, I asked around about you and people had nice thing to say. So he's like, he's like, my bad man.

Speaker 29 Do you believe it's important for the younger, for the older generation to give guidance or to help if asked? I'm not saying you have to go out of your way.

Speaker 29 Let's just say for the sake of argument, in 20 years from now, when you're one of the elder statesmen of the comedic community, do you think it's your obligation if people were to reach out to Ralph and say, hey, Ralph, hey, man, what you think?

Speaker 29 I don't know if you've seen any of my specials or any of my performances, but if any advice that you can, you know, partake on me, I would greatly appreciate it. Yeah, I think that

Speaker 29 if anybody ever wants my two cents, I'm happy to give them to you. That being said, I think when you and maybe, you know, like

Speaker 29 people always have to keep in mind that this, and especially in comedy, I think in comedy more than in other industries, when somebody gives you advice, you have to know that, like,

Speaker 29 it could be great advice,

Speaker 29 or

Speaker 29 it could be great advice that worked for them, and it could work like nothing for you. And you're because everybody's comedy style is so different.

Speaker 29 My only advice to somebody who's in comedy younger than me is like, you need to be very, very, very introspective. You need to hear how you sound and know how you come off.

Speaker 29 Yeah. But yeah, I think it's important to pass along whatever you know.

Speaker 29 What are your thoughts on cancel culture? Is there a joke that you will not, absolutely will not tell on stage?

Speaker 29 Nah, I don't think my jokes get that bad. Like,

Speaker 29 if you're trying to cancel me, you got to be like soft, like,

Speaker 29 like, certified soft, you know what I mean? For one of my jokes to make you want to cancel me. But I don't, like,

Speaker 29 how can you cancel? I think to cancel somebody, they have to, like, commit a heinous crime, like, for them to really lose all their fans.

Speaker 29 Because usually the people that are trying to cancel somebody is somebody who wasn't even a fan in the first place. If a man has a comedian, has a fan base, like, they're gonna be fine.

Speaker 29 You can't cancel them. You're gonna make his fans like them even more.
Right.

Speaker 29 Well, okay, if they're a jet there, is there a joke that you regret telling? Like, yeah, I probably shouldn't have told told that one or told it like that.

Speaker 29 Nah, I don't even remember half the jokes I tell.

Speaker 29 Joe, I mean, like, I look, like, if I write a good joke, like, yeah, I'm proud of it. But at the same time, it's not like a painting where I'm like, oh, bro, that was my masterpiece.
Like,

Speaker 29 I'm out there saying poop and bud.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 29 If they like it, they like it. They don't.

Speaker 29 My comedy ain't for you. Yeah.

Speaker 29 The Mexican, I think his name, what was it, OT? Oh, Mexican OT. Yeah, that said the N-word.
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 29 Mm-mm.

Speaker 29 I mean, there ain't no past. You don't get to be, oh, man, you know, I'm cool with the homies.
No, bro. Yeah, I think that,

Speaker 29 I mean, I can't speak for Mexican OT, but what I will say is that

Speaker 29 I don't know if it was like in Georgia, but in Texas, a lot of us were saying it growing up.

Speaker 29 And I think it wasn't until I started going to open mics that I realized, like, I don't think we're supposed to be saying it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 29 But I was so enclosed, like, I was so but you, were you saying around blacks, or were you saying it around in your community? No, like, with black, like, oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 29 You think there wasn't no black people where I grew up? No, I'm just saying, we weren't saying, we weren't, like, saying it, oh, like, like, oh, I heard this on TV.

Speaker 29 Like, let's just say it, like, it was just like saying bro, or like the thing.

Speaker 29 But once I started kind of going outside of my own neighborhood, my own like circles, then I started realizing, like, nah, you're not supposed to be like saying that. Wow, I didn't know that.

Speaker 29 Yeah, so that's why, like, I get, I kind of get where OT's coming from, but at the same time, like,

Speaker 29 yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna, like I said, I'm not gonna speak for OT and like be like, he shouldn't have said this, he should have said that, right?

Speaker 29 But, like, I somewhat understand what he was saying, you know what I mean? Right. Only because it's like

Speaker 29 where we're growing up,

Speaker 29 everybody was saying it. Like, white kids were saying it where I was growing up with other black kids, right?

Speaker 29 And, like, maybe some of the black kids didn't like it, but like, nobody was saying nothing. Like, for the most part, like, it was, it was okay

Speaker 29 there as kids. Now, as we grew up and started going into different circles, I think it was on us to kind of like realize that, yeah, that ain't cool.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 29 I'm not going to make a career saying this on stage.

Speaker 29 Joke stealing. Where are you on joke stealing? That's horrible.

Speaker 29 That's worse. Because it's kind of split.
I've heard people say, look. Look, well,

Speaker 29 Mexican saying the N-word is just a little bit worse than Joe Steele.

Speaker 29 So, Joe stealing right below CD.

Speaker 29 Because I've heard, you know, different people say. It might even be worse.

Speaker 29 At least when you're saying the N-word, you're not stealing someone's joke. You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 No, I think that they did worry.

Speaker 29 But no,

Speaker 29 in seriousness, though, because I've heard different comedians say different. Like, hold on.
If that's not the only joke,

Speaker 29 or tell better jokes. And then there are some people like a nah bro you can't do that you cannot you cannot take someone material and even if you try to dress it up

Speaker 29 even if i'm talking about even if i'm talking about a bird you can't come back and say it was an owl even even though i was talking about an eagle and have the same premise i think that

Speaker 29 you're gonna cross premises no matter what with people because your mind is a lot alike i mean but you like if it's like

Speaker 29 it can't it can get a little like sketchy where you're like, ah, well, they're similar, but it's, but it's a little different right here. But if it's a little too similar, like, just change it.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 Like, you know, like, you brought up the joke I did about aliens earlier. Yeah.

Speaker 29 There's a comedian

Speaker 29 out of Texas, a local guy,

Speaker 29 not trying to, I'm talking, like, I'm not trying to be like, he's not famous, but there's a comedian who like.

Speaker 29 Showed me where he was like, first he tried to, I think he tried to say, I stole his joke. Right.

Speaker 29 Because the first few words were the same, where we're saying, like, oh, yeah, I believe in aliens, but like, I don't believe in them. Right.

Speaker 29 But then his joke goes kind of this way and mine goes that way. But it was similar enough to where, like, I never did the joke again.
I took it offline. I'm like, you know what? It's too similar.

Speaker 29 Right. And I like,

Speaker 29 man, I think I'm creative enough. I could think of something, something else.

Speaker 29 But I think that if it's like close enough, one of y'all has to stop doing it. Right.
If you're a good comedian, you're going to come up with something funnier anyway. Like, you know, the next joke.

Speaker 29 But like, don't and i think older comics fight about that more than nowadays because now it's like i posted first i said it first

Speaker 29 you know what i mean right like even because how do i know like if a comic in ohio has a joke similar to mine right

Speaker 29 but i never heard his joke or he never posted a joke and i posted mine well like i i didn't steal it right we had a similar joke ideas maybe right now if somebody posted a joke

Speaker 29 and then I just started doing that joke word for word, now that's an obvious steal. That's Haines chopped his head off, right?

Speaker 29 But back in the day, I think older comedians struggled with that kind of stuff more because they used to sell each other jokes. I don't think people do that in my generation, right?

Speaker 29 I think that was like an old school thing. So people could be like, Hey, you stole that joke for such and such.
And they could be like, No, I bought it. I bought it.
Yeah. Right.

Speaker 29 Have you ever had a joke stolen?

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 29 But it was like local and it was like

Speaker 29 not even a good joke. I don't even remember how it went, but it's

Speaker 29 I didn't trip. My buddy Wes Corwin gave me the best advice on that.
He's like, man, if they're stealing jokes,

Speaker 29 they're going to run out of jokes to steal someday.

Speaker 29 They're going to burn out.

Speaker 29 But if you wrote a good joke worth stealing, you got it in you to write another good joke.

Speaker 29 Do you write for other comedians?

Speaker 29 Nah, but me and other, like, if I'm hanging out with comedians and they want to talk shop and be like, hey, help me out with this bid. I'm working on everything.

Speaker 29 Hell yeah, I'll help them write and they'll help me write. Felipe Esparza's helped me out right.
Like, he'll hop on a phone call with me and help me. Who? Felipe Esparza.
Okay. He'll help me.

Speaker 29 Said the joke or yeah. See the joke and stuff.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 Now that you've made it, how have you been able to deal with fame?

Speaker 29 I don't think I'm good at whatever level of fame I have, but I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 29 I don't like that people

Speaker 29 have opinions on, like serious opinions or like serious accusations on me. and they don't know who I am.
They might have seen me on a video for 45 seconds. Right.

Speaker 29 And they want to comment that, like, oh, he probably voted for Trump or, oh, he probably voted for Biden. Like, I didn't vote.
Okay. Which is probably worse.

Speaker 29 I know both people hate that, you know what I mean? But I'd rather go, I'd rather get hate for the truth than get hate for an assumption. Right.

Speaker 29 But yeah, like, I just, that's the only part of fame I don't like is when people just comment real serious

Speaker 29 assumptions or accusations on me and they don't, off of a video, off of one video, you know what I mean? Two videos, tops, like, man.

Speaker 29 How has it changed your life?

Speaker 29 I don't, when I'm home, I don't leave my house no more. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 29 I don't trust. I don't, sometimes, like, I love my fans.
Like I said, like, they've given me everything. Like, and

Speaker 29 I will always love anybody who's helped. But at the same time, man, like, I've read so many ignorant ass comments that sometimes

Speaker 29 I'm at a Walmart and somebody will come up to me and be like, hey, you that guy?

Speaker 29 And yeah, and then

Speaker 29 there's a lot. It feels, even though it might be five seconds before their next question, it feels like an hour before.

Speaker 29 I don't know if they're going to ask me for a picture or if they're going to compliment me or they're going to, or

Speaker 29 when they take long to say the next thing.

Speaker 29 I'm like, this person has so many questions they want to ask about so much bullshit I don't want to talk about.

Speaker 29 and I'm like, which way, like, what comment have you left before, bro? And I almost just want to walk out and be like, man, off, bro.

Speaker 29 You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 But then, like,

Speaker 29 then other people come up and they're just like, oh, bro, I like your stud. And I'm just like, oh, thank God.
Like, it's such a relief for them to just say something so quick and so nice

Speaker 29 and just be gone. Yeah.
Cause other people, I'm like, what do you want to talk about, bro? Like, what is it that you really want to say?

Speaker 29 How's it dating now that you're famous and you got some bread and the people know you got bread?

Speaker 29 I think some, I think there's been like a couple girls here and there that I'm like, ah, I think they just think I'm rich or maybe, you know what I mean? Or other girls think they don't trust me.

Speaker 29 They think that I'm not being genuine. They're like, ah, you just,

Speaker 29 you think because

Speaker 29 you're road or who you are, you know, you probably say this to other girls. But I also don't even have the patience for it.
Like, if they don't, they don't believe me, all right, then.

Speaker 29 You been on some bad dates lately?

Speaker 29 Not really. Haven't really been on any days lately.
What would you consider a bad date? I would consider a bad day when I meet a girl who's just kind of like,

Speaker 29 I don't know, maybe doesn't take care of her hygiene or maybe she's just like, I've been on a day.

Speaker 29 I got sauce on my mouth.

Speaker 29 I'll do the video, but I'll never call him back to him.

Speaker 29 I'll never call him back on a date. Never again.

Speaker 29 We ain't ever hanging out again.

Speaker 29 You're antisocial.

Speaker 29 I mean, maybe like two of the. You introvert.
I'm an introvert, naturally.

Speaker 29 Once I start getting getting comfortable with people, you come out of my shell a lot. Yeah, yeah.
But I started off on zero, you know? Right.

Speaker 29 So let me ask you, ideal, ideal mate, ideal date.

Speaker 29 What do you want?

Speaker 29 An ideal date? Yeah, ideal. I don't have expectations like that.
I feel like I won't know what the, what the, what the... what a good date was until after it's done.
You know what I mean? Yeah.

Speaker 29 I don't, I don't.

Speaker 29 You don't have, you don't have, you you don't have a type you just like go with the flow whatever you know the flow yeah yeah one time i heard this on a on an anime they said you don't know what type of person you were until right before you die because you weren't done living until that point you know what i mean so like i don't know what a good date is until it's done

Speaker 29 Have you ever had a situation where like you said like they asked you to take videos or say happy birthday? And I hate that too. Don't get on FaceTime.
Hey, can you can you say hey to my dad?

Speaker 29 My dad's a big

Speaker 29 hey to my brother.

Speaker 29 Bro, I almost prefer, like, I didn't used to like it. Sometimes they would just run up to you, and I already have it.
Yes, so I didn't used to like that, and I still kind of don't, don't get me wrong.

Speaker 29 But I actually prefer that as it were to when they come up to you and they ask you, like, can you do this? And then, let's say you're like, Okay, yeah, I'll do it.

Speaker 29 And they're like, Okay, let me just call them. And then they got to unlock their phone and they're nervous and they forget their code.
And I'm like, Bro, I gotta go. I got shit to do.

Speaker 29 Yes, yes, yes. It's like, I'm like, man.

Speaker 29 I don't hate, like, I don't hate that necessarily, but it's just like, if you're going to. I mean, if it's not, if it's not too much.
Yeah.

Speaker 29 If you're going to sandbag me, like, ambush me with this FaceTime, at least have the person on there already, bro. Like, we got to keep it moving.

Speaker 29 Guess you'll never go get, you're never going to guess who I ran into at the hill. You never go guess.
Guess who it is.

Speaker 29 And then I'm right there like, oh. Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's what they usually. Yeah, they ran into me.

Speaker 29 And then you're not going to tell me what to say either. I'm going to say what I want.
It's my conversation.

Speaker 29 One time this lady pulled up, like, this is my dad. I'm like, hey, your daughter's a whore.

Speaker 29 What do you want me to say, man?

Speaker 29 I don't know you. You could be a whore.
That's what I mean.

Speaker 29 Boy, I sure hope you didn't say that.

Speaker 29 But knowing you,

Speaker 29 that you're a comedian, you can say it.

Speaker 29 Yeah, I'm not. No.

Speaker 29 But look, I think the biggest thing is, is that...

Speaker 29 I don't mind, you know, sometimes I'm in a hurry, but it's like when they come up and says, oh, you're going to take this picture. Oh, you're going to do this.
What about, whatever happened to ask?

Speaker 29 Yeah. Do you mind taking a picture with me? They'd be like, hey,

Speaker 29 do you mind signing a picture real quick? Yes. How you going to tell somebody they are? Oh,

Speaker 29 I got to get this picture. Here's the one that bothers me.
Here's the one that I do hate. Like, this is the one that I'm like, if you do this, I do not like you.

Speaker 29 It's when somebody calls me out from like a distance. to be like ralph and i look and then they go come here

Speaker 29 who the are you bro i'm in the middle of a conversation over here with somebody. You're like, come here.
Like, I'm going to be talking with my friends and be like, sorry about this guy.

Speaker 29 This stranger's calling me. Like, who the fuck out of here, bro? Hey.

Speaker 29 Or they call you, hey, Shannon, Shannon, you, Shannon Sharp. I say, hey, yeah, what's up, man? Are you Shannon?

Speaker 29 Yes, bro.

Speaker 29 You call my name. I turn around and say, yeah, what's up? And then you get close to me and say, you Shannon Sharp.
People will forget that you just like

Speaker 29 another person, too, bro. Like, I don't like when people don't believe that I'm like me but you asked me yeah

Speaker 29 i had that happened on fourth of july i went to go buy fireworks and and one of the dudes at the casualty was like bro he's like you're ralph right i said yeah man he's like can i get a picture i was like yeah bro no problem and then his buddy comes up and he's like you're ralph for real i said yeah he's like don't don't with me i'm like okay i'm not and then he's like nah but for real like are you ralph

Speaker 29 i'm like bro it's not my job to convince you that i'm ral like if you don't believe me right i don't Like, if you believe me or not. He's like, nah, bro, like, prove to me you're rouf.

Speaker 29 I'm like, nah, fuck that.

Speaker 29 How am I going to prove it, bro? You call my mom, bring my birth certificate. Like,

Speaker 29 if you don't believe me, what the f do I care?

Speaker 29 Hold on.

Speaker 29 You send girls money on Cash App? Have I sent girls money on Cash App? Yeah.

Speaker 29 Nah, not if, not like if I'm old route. That was broke route.
Hold up.

Speaker 29 If that's broke rap, how you got bred to send money on cash? Oak Ralph was sending her 20 bucks and think he was doing something.

Speaker 29 She bet, here's some gas money. But they ate 20 bucks.
They go cut it now because they want nails. I mean, I be seeing the list like hair is like $400, nails is like $150.
And they're like skincare.

Speaker 29 I'm like, well, damn. I'd be impressed with girls that do all that.
I'm like, did you pay for it all yourself? That's insane.

Speaker 29 But no, I don't be sending girls no money on cash. Not unless...
Like if I, my last relationship, I might have gave her some money here and there, but

Speaker 29 I learned my lesson. What'd you learn? I learned that I'm into girls who

Speaker 29 like to earn their own money. Now, if I was to give them a gift or something, I feel like they appreciate it more because they know the work that comes behind it.
You know what I mean? Yeah.

Speaker 29 But I don't, my biggest fear is that I'll date a girl who is just using me for the money and then go show off. Because, like,

Speaker 29 who go show off and be like, Hey, look, he pays for this for me, he pays for that for me. I don't like that.
You don't like that, right?

Speaker 29 If I pay for something for somebody, I want them to really appreciate it. Appreciate it.
And it's not for the world, and it's not for everybody.

Speaker 29 And usually, the people who appreciate it are the people who have their own career, their own job. You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 Red flag. What are some of the red flags?

Speaker 29 They're breathing.

Speaker 29 Holla, I just just want to know, do you care to share her name?

Speaker 29 The one that's this one that does the damage that made you become so cynical?

Speaker 29 I'm not, I don't, look, man, I'm exaggerating a lot of the cynical stuff I'm saying here.

Speaker 29 But it's like everybody has red flags. I don't know what are some like major ones.

Speaker 29 I think maybe some of the major red flags is like, and look, This sucks to say because like if I'm on a date with a girl and she gives me the chance to sleep with her on the first night, I'll probably take But that's probably a red flag.

Speaker 29 Right. You know what I mean? Right.
But it also doesn't,

Speaker 29 it might not mean she's a hoe. Maybe we did just hit her off that night.
Right. But I'm always going to wonder: like, she does this with every guy? Does she sleep with her every first date?

Speaker 29 How many first dates has she gone on this one? What if she's wondering that about you? Does she do this on every date? Yeah, I probably got tons of red flags.

Speaker 29 You get jealous if someone you're seeing they mention something that they did with their ex. Well, maybe they went bowling.
Maybe they went, maybe they went this or they did that. You get jealous?

Speaker 29 I don't get jealous,

Speaker 29 but I would say that, like,

Speaker 29 if they keep bringing up their ex, I'm gonna wonder if they're trying to get a reaction out of me. Yeah.
And if they're doing that, I'm like, why? That's another red flag.

Speaker 29 Why do you want to get the reaction? Right. And why? And if he was so great, why are you here with me now and not with him? Yeah.
go f that guy.

Speaker 29 He sounds amazing.

Speaker 29 I want to meet him.

Speaker 29 But you know what they're going to say.

Speaker 29 If I wanted to be with him, I would be with him, but I'm here with you. Why are you so with that? I mean, why are you so insecure? Yeah, why are you bringing up those memories?

Speaker 29 You don't see me throwing up my ex, well, oh man,

Speaker 29 he used to cook me breakfast, bring me breakfast in bed. We used to go watch to the movies.
We used to hold hands walking on the beach. You don't want to hear that?

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 29 Oh, God forbid. I bring up my ex on the first date.

Speaker 29 Your father, you mentioned your father. Obviously, you're very close to your uncle.
What type of father are you to your son?

Speaker 29 I think

Speaker 29 I'm pretty stern.

Speaker 29 I feel like when you have a kid,

Speaker 29 that it is now your responsibility to make sure that this person doesn't go out into the world and just become a piece of shit.

Speaker 29 So I want to make sure that I'm raising a kid who can be a good person, who can be a good member of society, who can be respectful to others and hold his own and you know what I mean, be responsible.

Speaker 29 But at the same time, like I got to let him be a kid. So

Speaker 29 I think I'm the type of father who's always in his head, but I'm trying to have fun with my son. I want him to have a childhood.
I want him to not worry about adult problems or like problems.

Speaker 29 He's six right now. Right.
So I try to make sure he can live like a six-year-old, but I also try to stay stern on him and make sure that he's not becoming this

Speaker 29 spoiled brat who's developing patterns that... Because sometimes some things is like, let him get away with that.
He's a kid. But other things is like, nah, that's a pattern.
Yeah, it can leave.

Speaker 29 It gets worse as he gets older and he'll never break it. You know what I mean? So like, I think I'm pretty stern, but fun.
You found out. Your ex was pregnant after you guys broke up.
How'd you know?

Speaker 29 Who you been talking? You do talk to my ex, right?

Speaker 29 Nah.

Speaker 29 So,

Speaker 29 when she told you I'm pregnant, did you think she was telling you that to try to get back with you? No, she was being honest.

Speaker 29 And we were like on and off.

Speaker 29 We were young. We were like, you know,

Speaker 29 20, 21. We started dating.
We were like 18, 19.

Speaker 29 That was your wife, and you didn't even know it.

Speaker 29 We,

Speaker 29 you know, we ended up getting

Speaker 29 pregnant, whatever, like 20, 21. My son was like, yeah, I was like 22 when our son was born, you know, so we're just real dumb, real mature, real, right? Toxic for each other, maybe.

Speaker 29 So I don't think she, she wasn't like, oh, I'm gonna do this to get back with him. You know, it was just, it was what it was, and we dealt with it.
Right.

Speaker 29 You put yourself on child support. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Because she was being difficult.

Speaker 29 I might have been being difficult with with her too. I don't know, but she was being like extra.
She was very emotional.

Speaker 29 Once I had my son, all my decisions were really about him. And I think a lot of hers were.
And you try to take the emotion out of it.

Speaker 29 Look, I understand that, you know, look, it didn't work out between you and I and whatever the case may be.

Speaker 29 But in the best interest of him, let's try to be the best parents we can be, although we're not together. But there's something that's never going to change.
You're going to always be his mom.

Speaker 29 I'm going to always be his dad. And we're going to have to live.
We're going to be in each other's life forever.

Speaker 29 We're,

Speaker 29 man, for a minute, I shoot like a tumor in my head.

Speaker 29 But one thing I kept reminding myself is that,

Speaker 29 like, man, we're on the same team.

Speaker 29 Yes. You know what I mean? Yes.
Which is something I feel like a lot of people need to remind themselves when they're struggling.

Speaker 29 And some people were like, man, I don't want to pay no child support because of the money or whatever. I had no problem putting myself.

Speaker 29 I mainly did it because we were having a lot of conflict over scheduling. And if I was going to take my son or not, she didn't want me to take him nowhere, whatever.

Speaker 29 So I put myself on child support to take the power out of her hands. And it's like,

Speaker 29 I wanted to see my son way more than every other weekend. I didn't want to just stick to that.
But at least like this, it was like,

Speaker 29 you can't say no. You can't deny

Speaker 29 it tonight just because you're mad. Right.

Speaker 29 And as far as the money goes, I think I'm fortunate that my son's mom has never been irresponsible with money.

Speaker 29 Whether I gave her, if I gave her $700 and I said, spend every dime of this only on my son, not for you, like she'll do that.

Speaker 29 And mostly, and a lot of it was out of spite, too, because she was like, I don't want to take your money.

Speaker 29 You don't got to support me. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Speaker 29 So, like, I never had a problem paying child support. Right.

Speaker 29 How different are you as a dad than your dad was to you?

Speaker 29 I mean,

Speaker 29 I don't know. I mean, I think we're different in a lot of ways.
My dad was very stern with me. My dad didn't like no jokes.

Speaker 29 My dad will pick me up and we'd go to like a family party and I would be my usual self. Like how I'm at home, say some jokes, and my dad would like raise his hand.
Like he's going to smack me for like

Speaker 29 everything I said was disrespectful to my, like in my dad's eyes uh-huh so like uh with my son

Speaker 29 I I think we joke a little more

Speaker 29 I do try to tell him like hey don't say stuff like that you know what I mean on certain subjects but like I think for the I think the biggest part is like I can joke with my son a little more and like let him know it's okay to like

Speaker 29 speak your mind. Whereas with my dad, he's like, you better not be thinking like that.
You better not be joking like that.

Speaker 29 God damn, I don't know

Speaker 29 I better I better just be a mute

Speaker 29 I read that you're learning. It's not necessarily you're teaching, but you're learning as your son is learning.
Yeah, for sure. I don't think anybody knows how to be a parent.
Right.

Speaker 29 There ain't no, because it varies. I mean,

Speaker 29 everybody write these books or how to be a parent or being a parent for dummies or whatever the case may be. But

Speaker 29 you got to be a parent. Yeah.

Speaker 29 You just got to do your best. Just try your best.
When my son asks me questions, why is this? Why is that?

Speaker 29 I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. If I don't know, I'll tell my son, I don't know.
Let's find out. Right.

Speaker 29 You said that when your son asks you a question, it's like a new employee trying to tell a newer employee what to do. Yeah, but I'm still figuring it out myself, bro.
We'll figure it out together.

Speaker 29 But so, when you get it, what do you guys like to do together? Go to the movies. We go to the movies a lot or arcades.
He loves arcades.

Speaker 29 But my son is a lot like me in the fact when I i was growing up when i was his age i was he's the same way he loves to be on like at home he don't like to go nowhere like unless it's to the movies right and even at that he don't like to go to the one that's far he's like going that's close get back

Speaker 29 so like he loves to be at home he loves to be in front of tv and i watch whatever he watches or like i'll make sure he watches what i watch you know what i mean like

Speaker 29 But he loves to be at home or with the high wheels. We set up the little high wheels.
We have little competitions on which one can stay on the track the longest.

Speaker 29 Stuff like that. Like, we, he's very homebody.

Speaker 29 Women like men, the kids. You think so? He helps you, he helps you pick up women.

Speaker 29 I think when I

Speaker 29 don't really post them now. Yeah.
You know what I mean? Because my biggest fear is that somebody will say something ignorant. Right.
Like, like responding.

Speaker 29 So I don't really post them. But when you had the movie, just you and him, or y'all going to the arcade? Yeah, not.
Yeah, you got it. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 29 I don't know. But like before, when I used to post them, them, before I had any fame, I'll post them.

Speaker 29 Yeah, girls will respond to the story and be like, oh, this is so cute, or like, whatever, especially if it's like, you know,

Speaker 29 another, like a single mom or something, you know, maybe feel more comfortable with you.

Speaker 29 Yeah, like, yeah, well, you know, we ought to get together, you know, have our kids, play dates and stuff like that. Yeah.
But I tried that once. My son hated it.
Did you? My son hated it. Really?

Speaker 29 Hated that other kid.

Speaker 29 I dated a girl for like two months and she had a kid. Her kid was cool with her, but like, man, my son hated that.
He would tell me, he's like, I don't want to hang out with them.

Speaker 29 He likes being the only child. Yeah.

Speaker 29 He has two sisters through his mom. His mom had two more kids after him.

Speaker 29 And so like, he's cool to his sisters, you know, but like, yeah, he has a lot of only child syndrome. No, it ain't that.
It's you. He wants all this time to be with you.
He does. Yeah, he does like.

Speaker 29 That's what that is. Because you said he doesn't have a problem with his other siblings, but his other siblings are not around when he's with you.
Yeah, when it's just me and him, he could.

Speaker 29 He wants your undivided attention. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Which I love it. I mean, I'm for it.

Speaker 29 Good luck getting married, having a girlfriend, having another kid. Good luck with that.

Speaker 29 We'll see how it goes.

Speaker 29 Are you type one diabetic? Yeah, type one. When did you realize you have it?

Speaker 29 I was like six. Really? Yeah.
So you had juvenile diabetes? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Why does it say it like that, Junior? That's not like I was like a bad bad kid.

Speaker 29 Like he's diabetic and he don't know how to act.

Speaker 29 He's diabetic and he steals.

Speaker 29 I guess kid diabetes.

Speaker 29 So how have you had, I mean, how did that impact you as a child? Man, I think that made me feel weird a lot. You know what I mean? Like,

Speaker 29 I didn't want other kids to know or to ask me about it,

Speaker 29 but they would.

Speaker 29 Every grade,

Speaker 29 pretty much 10 minutes before whatever our lunchtime was, I would have to go to the nurse's office to like check my sugar and take insulin. And so, kids, like, I would hate it.

Speaker 29 I would be like on edge because I would hate it.

Speaker 29 I was just anticipating the day that one of my classmates would be like, Why do you leave early? Yeah, fucked. I have to tell them now.

Speaker 29 But for the most part, they would be like, Oh, okay. And then, you know, they wouldn't really ask too much about it.

Speaker 29 But yeah, I definitely felt like a little weird in some classes. As I got older, I got over it.

Speaker 29 Were there certain things that you couldn't eat? Because

Speaker 29 it would drop your insulin level or it would

Speaker 29 spike it.

Speaker 29 I have to learn to like, I have to be very,

Speaker 29 like, I have to know my body and how it reacts to stuff. I have to feel a lot.
Like, I could feel it when my sugar's getting low. I could feel it when it's getting high.
Some diabetics can't feel it.

Speaker 29 Right. And some can.
Like, I'm very sensitive to it. So, like,

Speaker 29 yeah, there'll be times where we're at school and and like they're doing a pizza party with snacks and cupcakes and everything. And they'll be like, why aren't you eating a cupcake?

Speaker 29 And I'll be like, oh, I just don't want one.

Speaker 29 And you really want one. Yeah.
Or there'll be other times where I'm eating one and one of the kids that already knows I'm diabetic. He's just looking out for me, but now he's putting me on the spot.

Speaker 29 He's like, you can't eat that. Don't let him eat that.
And I was just like, bitch, let me get away with a cupcake.

Speaker 29 So you have one of those things on that you check with your phone, you check it on the phone. No, I'm trying to get one, but I got this shitty insurance right now.

Speaker 29 Can't even get the damn appointment with the doctor. But

Speaker 29 anyway, I'm working on that right now.

Speaker 29 So, but I'm trying to think,

Speaker 29 is there a lot of sweets in a Hispanic diet? Man,

Speaker 29 there's a lot of lard and flour and milk.

Speaker 29 So I was thinking like Hispanic diet is designed to give you high blood sugar and high blood pressure.

Speaker 37 The holidays are overwhelming, but I'm tackling this season with PayPal and making the most of my money, getting 5% 5% cash back when I pay in four.

Speaker 29 But does anybody else have diabetes in your family?

Speaker 29 So it's kind of a funny story. So my grandpa was an old school type man.

Speaker 29 What that means is, you know, he used to cheat on my grandma and a lot. And so I have an uncle that my mom found, I think, on Facebook maybe.
So it's like her,

Speaker 29 what do they call it? Estranged brother? Yes. He was raised by his mom.
Right. My grandpa's side cheek.

Speaker 29 So that uncle. was the only other relative with diabetes.
My mom has it now, but she didn't get it till like adulthood. And I think my uncle did too, but like I was the only one.

Speaker 29 Everybody was like, How did he get diabetes? Like, no, but there's no family history of it. And then we found out that it's on my grandpa's side.
We found out through his bastard children.

Speaker 29 You mentioned one of your friends, Kim Flores. He died at the age of 28 of cardiac arrest.

Speaker 29 When you received that call,

Speaker 29 it was horrible. 28.
28. We're the same age, me, Ken, and Renee.
Okay.

Speaker 29 I mean, there was, I feel like there was something special about the three of us

Speaker 29 just because we were three

Speaker 29 Hispanic comedians, the exact same age, all three born in 96.

Speaker 29 Ken was from Chicago, Chicago, and then later on moved to Aurora. So he's from the Chicago area.
You moved to Aurora, Colorado? Ken did, yeah. Okay.
Ken moved there when he was a kid from Chicago.

Speaker 29 Okay. Which is, I mean, it's basically the same.
Maybe not to them, you know, but for outsiders, I'm like, it's all Chicago. Yeah, right.

Speaker 29 Renee being from California, from like LA area, me being from Texas,

Speaker 29 even though we're from three different parts of the map, I felt like we all come from like this similar background.

Speaker 29 We all grew up Mexican as hell. Right.
You know, probably crazy-ass families, maybe a little traumatic.

Speaker 29 But we all grew up with the same dream and we started popping off around the same time. And so I feel like that really brought us closer together.

Speaker 29 So, yeah, it sucked, man, when I got that call. I was immediately worried about Renee because Renee and Ken were super, super close, right? Touring together all the time.

Speaker 29 And I was on Alcatraz. I went on that tour.
I had been on

Speaker 29 San Francisco. Yeah.
I love going to San Francisco. Shout out to.
Oh,

Speaker 29 I thought you were talking about the immigration thing that they're talking about. No, no, no, that wasn't a thing yet.
Yeah, I was like,

Speaker 29 how'd you get on that? This was back in January.

Speaker 29 And I had just did a set with Renee and Ken, like, not even a whole week before.

Speaker 29 Me and Renee and Ken were working on a tour together. We were working all the details to tour together.

Speaker 29 And they, they,

Speaker 29 you know, our agents, our managers

Speaker 29 routed,

Speaker 29 had this whole route, the schedule, all the details, all the commissions, everything, right?

Speaker 29 And the day that we're supposed to like sign off, like the three of us each put our signature signature on there,

Speaker 29 the tour is set,

Speaker 29 was the day

Speaker 29 that we heard Ken

Speaker 29 pass. And it sucked.
I remember I was in San Francisco and

Speaker 29 I got off the Zoom meeting with some people from FX

Speaker 29 because they saw me. They came to my show in L.A.
I did a pop-up show in L.A.

Speaker 29 I had just filmed the Hulu special. I filmed the Hulu special.

Speaker 29 The next day I go to LA just to hang out and start working on new material.

Speaker 29 And I booked this show right there in LA. And Renee comes and he brings Ken.

Speaker 29 And I'm like, hey, I told both of them. I was like, I'm going to go on stage for like 10-15 minutes and then I'm going to bring y'all on stage.

Speaker 29 And they're like, nah, nah, it's your show, bro. We just came to the court and hang out.
And I was like, nah, that y'all here. Like, y'all have to, like, y'all have no option.
Right.

Speaker 29 So we go on stage. We end up doing like an hour and a half getting drunk on stage and

Speaker 29 bullshitting with the audience. You know what I mean?

Speaker 29 And there's a moment. It's like, it was like something out of a movie, how everything is so dramatic.

Speaker 29 Cause there's like a moment we're on stage and me and Renee are talking about how much we love Ken. And

Speaker 29 we're sandwiching him. We're hugging him.

Speaker 29 And

Speaker 29 a few days later, I'm in San Francisco and I have.

Speaker 29 FX, the people from FX, the executives were at that show. I forgot they were at that show.
I'm like, man, they heard us say so much stupid.

Speaker 29 I was like, probably didn't even like it.

Speaker 29 So a few days later, I'm in San Francisco, and we're in this email talking about how, like, hey, like, we need y'all to sign off on the tour dates.

Speaker 29 Like, as soon as y'all like it. Because me, Ken, and Renee agreed that, like,

Speaker 29 nothing

Speaker 29 can be.

Speaker 29 Like, nothing can move forward until the three of us talk and agree on it. Right.
So they're like, hey, did y'all talk about it yet? Did y'all like it?

Speaker 29 I'm like, oh, I talked to Renee, but I didn't talk to Ken. Yeah, I'm going to talk to him later today.

Speaker 29 We'll see, you know?

Speaker 29 So I write back that email, like, yeah, I'm going to talk to them. Yeah, I don't worry about it.
Then I hop on the Zoom call with the people from FX, and they're like, man,

Speaker 29 they're like,

Speaker 29 you know, they start off with the basic conversation. How'd you get into comedy? Do you want to write?

Speaker 29 And then they kind of switch gears and they're like, hey. They're like, you and Renee and Ken on stage.
Like, that was really funny. Like, that was hilarious.

Speaker 29 They're like, do you guys want to work more together? Like, what do y'all got planned? And I'm like, man, we're about to go on tour together. Like, we're about to sign off on that shit.

Speaker 29 We're about to go on tour together. They're like, would y'all ever want to make a movie, write a show? And, you know, when a comedian has his own show, it takes a lot of work.
It's a lot of writing.

Speaker 29 Months and years of writing and yeses and nos here and there, you know what I mean? And that, I remember that lady straight up.

Speaker 29 She hadn't cussed the whole Zoom call. I was afraid to cuss because, you know, so like.
Yeah. Professional.
Yeah. But she started cussing.
She was like, y'all were funny.

Speaker 29 She was like, if y'all ever wanted to make a show, y'all just write it. I'll make that shit happen.

Speaker 29 And I was like, damn, like, I had no interest in writing a show, but I know Renee likes that stuff. I was like, I'm going to tell them, like, maybe they'll want to do that shit.
We'll see.

Speaker 29 And so I'm like, yeah, I'm going to talk to them later today. I was like, today we have a meeting.
So, like, I'm going to talk to them. And yeah, man, I go to kill time.

Speaker 29 I go do that Alcatraz tour later that day. I always like that tour.
I've been on it like three times. Okay.

Speaker 29 And I get the call as the tour is over. Like, I'm waiting for the boat to come back, to take it back.
And I get the call about Ken. And man, it felt like that boat was never going to arrive.

Speaker 29 Like, I just felt like I'm sitting on this stupid ass island. Like, I don't even want to be there.
But I also don't even know where to be. Like, I don't know what to do.

Speaker 29 And yeah, like, I'm not making none of this up. This is like, it sounds dramatic as f.

Speaker 29 But I remember just sitting on that boat on the way back to San Francisco, and I see these three seagull seagulls flying, following the boat.

Speaker 29 And then one of them just goes off, and then two two go this way. And she just made me burst into tears, man.

Speaker 29 But Ken was so cool and so funny. Like,

Speaker 29 I have to remember, and I know Renee feels the same way.

Speaker 29 Like, I have to, even though we're sad he's gone, I have to just focus on the time we did get with him and like be grateful for what we had with him. Right.
You know?

Speaker 29 And his parents are so cool. I met his parents.
I didn't meet his parents until after he passed away, but they're very positive. And his mom was always smiling.

Speaker 29 And his mom came out on stage and just, awesome. She was, man, she was so cool.
His family is so cool. Everybody that I've met, that was a part of his team.

Speaker 29 He had the best people around them.

Speaker 29 Transitioning.

Speaker 29 Talk about hookers. No, no, no.

Speaker 29 The relationship between your community and my community.

Speaker 29 There seems to be... differing of opinions.
Some say it's okay, some says it's not. We see right now what's going on with the mass deportation, and it's like,

Speaker 29 well, we need our black brothers, which is people that look like me,

Speaker 29 to be supportive.

Speaker 29 I think that's up to each individual. I'm wrong.

Speaker 29 Me, this is my personal opinion. I'm not saying like this is how people need to think or nothing like that.
Personally, I feel like,

Speaker 29 and again, I cannot emphasize this enough.

Speaker 29 This is an opinion of a comedian who makes

Speaker 29 stupid

Speaker 29 juvenile diabetes jokes.

Speaker 29 Don't take me too serious. Y'all be crucifying me for my stupid-ass little opinions.

Speaker 29 I don't think that just because you're of a color, you're obligated to support one person or another.

Speaker 29 I've met

Speaker 29 black Republicans. I've met black liberals like, support who you want to support.

Speaker 29 I remember like when the Black Lives Matter protest was going on,

Speaker 29 it's like if you kind of stay silent,

Speaker 29 it kind of looked bad, you know, and sucked, you know what I mean? And like,

Speaker 29 not that I was out there protesting, but I do feel, I know who I was in support of and like what I was doing to support, you know what I mean. But

Speaker 29 now that

Speaker 29 it's like this, it's like, well,

Speaker 29 I don't think because you're black,

Speaker 29 we need you to support, but I think, hey, if you really are a supporter of like what's going on with with like us in our situation like whether you're black chinese whatever like white people like i i

Speaker 29 i

Speaker 29 like to see it i appreciate it from when i see it but i i do think it's a little like when i see like black people be like man deport them i'm just like damn bro

Speaker 29 well i mean the thing is i'm not like that i i think now i look at it like this you got what you voted for if somebody tells you this is what i'm going to do you can't be surprised when they do what they said.

Speaker 29 They ran on that. Yeah, and I'm not going to sit here and be mad at like

Speaker 29 a black person who's supporting Trump because it's like, I'm not going to sit here and be like, bro, but you're black. You got to understand me.
Like, nah, like, I got, I don't know.

Speaker 29 There's Mexican, like, you've seen it, especially in Texas. There's so many Mexican Trump supporters.
And that, that really has my mind by the way. I'm like,

Speaker 29 you know what he's said he's going to do and he's going to break up families and x y and z yeah bro like and i don't like i mean my main i don't care like i was saying like i don't care if you i don't care what race you are support who you want to support absolutely the only one that that does like confuse me

Speaker 29 is when when mexicans are so hard on the border laws like bro like

Speaker 29 we we didn't get here 400 years ago.

Speaker 29 A lot of our people are just immigrated here. Like, you've been here like a generation, and you already want to close the borders.
Like,

Speaker 29 bro, that's like if you just walked in the club and you're like, y'all should close now.

Speaker 29 I'm here. Yeah, well, that's what has to happen.
I'm up here, so I take, I'll pull the ladder out the way. Yeah.
So that way, you, hey, I'm here. What makes you so special, bro?

Speaker 29 I see, I get what you're saying. I totally understand.
I totally understand.

Speaker 29 That's why with Mexicans, when they go super Republican, that's why I'm like.

Speaker 29 That's the only time I'm confused. Everybody else, I'm like, all right, do you.
I'm sure you have your reason. I get what you're saying.

Speaker 29 What can they expect on the Hulu special?

Speaker 29 A whole lot of tomfoolery.

Speaker 29 Just jokes, personal stories, some observations, some opinions. I think you can expect to laugh.

Speaker 29 I think you can expect to laugh.

Speaker 29 My Netflix special,

Speaker 29 Nate Bargatzi gave me some good advice. He's like, hey, put all your best jokes out there.

Speaker 29 And the pressure to need more jokes is going to make you write more jokes. So

Speaker 29 that's what I did on my Netflix. That's what I did on my Hulu.
Personally,

Speaker 29 I might catch some backlash for saying this.

Speaker 29 I think I like the jokes on my Hulu one better, really,

Speaker 29 yeah. Because my Netflix one, I was still so nervous, I was still getting used to having a following.

Speaker 29 My Hulu one, I feel like I got to go back to just being my normal self.

Speaker 29 I was like, the person who I am,

Speaker 29 it took me a while to like be comfortable being that on camera.

Speaker 29 So when I got on Netflix, I'm like, oh, I want to show them this because I want them to know I'm this, or I don't want them to know I'm that. On Hulu, I'm like, look, bro, this is just me.

Speaker 29 What you see is what you get. What you see.
So like my Hulu special, I'm a little more comfortable with it. Right.
I don't know how much y'all going to respond to that. I think

Speaker 29 it's better than my first one. Wow.
So I hope y'all enjoy it. Why do you want to be buried in pajamas?

Speaker 29 Because

Speaker 29 I never walked around in suits.

Speaker 29 I mean, what about, you know, cons,

Speaker 29 you know, black jeans

Speaker 29 and a tee? I don't know. My biggest fear is that the afterlife, you have to wear the clothes you were buried in, whether I'm in like heaven or hell.
I just want to be comfortable.

Speaker 29 You also said babies should be made to wear suits at the beginning because

Speaker 29 first impression is everything. Yeah.

Speaker 29 Well, I mean, it's a little like if I go to the hospital to see the newborn baby, it needs to be an impressive baby.

Speaker 29 So, you need a little

Speaker 29 double-breasted suit. Welcome to the world, kid.

Speaker 29 Honestly, honestly, honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like PrEP.

Speaker 29 PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it.

Speaker 29 PrEP can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
