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

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, type of artist,

is

you got to think outside the box, man.

Like, and you gotta treat it like it's your full-time.

Even if you have a full-time job, you know what I mean?

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

Like,

keep thinking.

Just because you punch in, clock in, clock out, don't mean you're gonna make progress.

Right.

Like, you gotta be there, mind, body, relax.

Yeah.

And you gotta, you gotta, like,

strategize, man.

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?

Be ambitious, but never thirsty.

Be confident, but never cocky.

How does it feel?

You told the story open, Mike.

There are only a handful of people.

Now you performing in front of sold-out theaters.

Do you think about, do you ever, when you're alone

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

Nah, I don't think about it too much.

I just think about the next show and

hope I can make that crowd laugh.

Really?

Yeah.

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

I don't even keep like

Netflix gave me the microphone.

that performed that with the show and put it in a case or like uh

you know i got like a little

glass thing from this HBO competition I did a long time ago.

Like, I don't even like keeping that.

So, in other words,

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 got, I remember.

But that's a memory they get on my.

Yeah, it's a memory, but like, I don't like to like,

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

Like, if you come to my house, I'm going to be like, this is the trophy I want from this and let me get that microphone.

Like, I'll give it to my dad, my grandma.

Like, they can keep it if they want.

But other than that, I don't like keeping that stuff.

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.

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?

Yeah, if I've released something online, man, you might catch me doing that joke.

Like, if I do a joke,

if I release a joke online, I might not say that joke on stage again until like two, three years later.

Wow.

Yeah.

But other than that, I always, I wouldn't release it until I know I got some more fuel in the tank for the live shows.

Having comedians,

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.

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.

You say gatekeepers.

They're gatekeepers?

No, they're not gatekeepers.

No, I'm saying, but there are such things are gatekeepers.

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.

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

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.

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

I could sell tickets.

whereas you know back you know early 2000s 90s and and before they had to build a relationship just to get into the clubs 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 they got to hope that that booker will throw my bone get in front of this person so like yeah i know that's harder 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.

I had to burn, like, I used to write every joke in a notebook.

I had a stack, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, I basically had to burn these notebooks to get to where I'm at.

You know what I mean?

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, another hour, you know.

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

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

And my manager, 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?

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

helped a lot was that

Dave Chappelle co-signed, which shout out to him, man?

Yeah, Chappelle.

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

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

Chappelle said something.

He said something nice about me.

Like, he finally texted him and was like, yo, like, dude, pretty funny.

Like, right.

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

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.

So

that week just made me look so good in front of everybody, I think.

You know what I mean?

I have a Netflix.

You know, Netflix normally come with a big check.

That was a big check.

What'd you buy?

Oh, man.

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

I bought two cars.

I bought a 1996 Impollo Super Sport, and I bought a 1990 Nissan Skyline GTR R32.

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

Now, I like that last part, but I don't know why you bought that Skyline.

Why?

I love that car.

What do you, Tokyo Drift?

Nah, those don't drift.

They're all-wheel drive.

Come on, Shannon, don't be racist.

Nah, but

I do understand.

I like the Caprize,

the Super Sport.

I like the 1996.

It's not Caprize.

Please don't offend me.

It's an Impala.

And I know they're identical, whatever,

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.

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

Okay.

He held on to it for a year for me.

I was like, bro, like, I'm about to pop off.

I know I am.

Like, I know I am just

one year.

Give me one year.

And he gave me a year and I went and

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.

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

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.

You ain't no guy that's going to get a car and sit on it.

You ain't putting it in the drive.

I don't want to collect.

Like, I want to drive these cars, put them out.

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

And

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.

We took out the motor.

We're building an LS to put in it.

We're getting a transportation.

Well, Well, then why'd you just keep it?

Yeah, I mean, the Netflix money had broke you off.

You weren't going to be hurt for that money if you just kept sat on it?

Nah, I don't want to.

It's just going to sit there.

It's taking the real estate.

Let me ask you a question.

Before the Netflix thing kicked you off,

were you making good money in comedy?

Yeah.

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?

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.

But it's a bigger, it's a

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.

No, but I'm saying.

1,700 seats.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you sold out 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.

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.

I don't think we're going to sell out.

Nah, but we're going to hype it up for the Hulu special.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what you, you know, the Hulu special.

That's what we're going to make that bread.

Yeah.

Well, they 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.

He coming to a, he coming close by.

So that's what we do.

Well, I just, when you like,

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, so like I want everybody to watch my Hulu special, yeah, August 8th.

It's called Planet Bosa.

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

Yeah,

hungry, oh, hungry and horny.

Now, I'm now I got a belly and I'm satisfied and Brene Vaca he we sat down we talked about this he said he he he was talking he brought up the scene from Rocky III

when

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

but I was like no I don't think I don't think we got that civilized because we go out there we still have fun man like like it's it's comedy is very like i don't i don't care if i have money or not like i still want want to crack a joke.

Right.

You know what I mean?

But you said, you know, so do you have a greater appreciation for a guy, let's just say like a

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

keep coming up with material.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I have so much respect.

Because it's kind of like an athlete.

You know, an athlete that, you know, works his way up.

He's hungry.

He's heavy, he's driven.

And then all all of a sudden he's making 50 60 100 million a year and he's still floyd mayweather guy that who worked his heart out of grand rapids come to vegas and

you ever see those pictures of like uh like picasso or like whatever artist

and they're like this is them in their home studio yeah right working on their art and it's just paintings everywhere yeah they're somewhere beautiful and they're in this beautiful house 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, but you know, they're well off.

I know they're so successful, but they're still like.

It's still driven.

Yeah.

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,

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...

to the canvas.

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

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.

That's just the first cars I bought with Netflix money.

So what's how many cars you have?

Two.

You can only drive one?

I mean, I had a 12-year-old Range Rover and a five-year-old BMW.

Damn.

Let me know if everyone sells a what kind of beamer you got.

I got a

2020

V12 M.

What is that?

Like at 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.

You go, nah, nah.

But see,

big guy, I got to have some room.

I ain't trying to be all.

Nah, I need to be like.

So, so what?

You got a Ferrari?

You got a Lambo?

You got the.

Nah, I got real cars, man.

How about real I like those cars too, but I got a real car.

I got a GTR, R35.

I got a 1971 GTR.

I got my Impala.

I got a 2025 single cab F-150.

They call those the Mexican GTRs.

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?

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.

I don't know.

I thought, you know, I did come close.

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

you know, Shelby does a pickup.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Go get it.

I do.

Go get you one.

Man, I love these trucks.

I got a, I got a 87 C10.

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 getting traction.

You know what I mean?

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 L.

Sex, where we raced him.

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

240 like a Nissan 240.

1989, 240.

It's a horrible idea he had.

I used to have

a 300e.

Oh, yeah.

1987.

Yeah.

Nice.

See, that was that T-Talk.

Why'd you get rid of it?

Man, come on, bro.

Those are the funny things.

That goddamn 40 years old now, bro.

He f those cars up and don't don't even blink twice.

You know what I mean?

But it was fun.

It was nice.

You know, I had it in college.

You know, it looked nice.

But yeah, we've been working on these cars.

So

I'm in the habit of a passion of yours.

Huh?

That's a passion of yours, working on cars?

Yeah, I love cars, man.

I love driving them a lot.

And so, like, we're trying to...

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.

So, like, we went on marketplace and bought this little shitty 350Z from a crackhead.

And now I'm I'm turning it into a drift car.

I'm going to replace the whole suspension and you just got to be talking about stereotyping and now you don't turn bolts up and turn into a drift car.

I got, yeah, like I like.

But that one's real-world drive.

You see what I'm saying?

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

I think other people

can or the common person can afford them and maybe do the shit that I'm doing and like I didn't know a lot about the mechanical side I used to do paint and body, but I didn't really do a lot of mechanical side.

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 it, bro.

You got a lot of jobs, bro.

Man, I just, look, God blessed me with a mind,

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?

Nothing ever.

Not even yoga.

You know, you do yoga.

I used to do yoga and Pilates when I played, but now my attention span is not that low.

I can't.

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.

Yeah, but if I had learned it, now I just don't have the patience.

So you have to have patience to do stuff, what you're doing.

Yeah, I think I do have patience.

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,

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

Grab that.

You got your first department.

Oh, yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, I mean, you decked it out.

The only one I got with my uncle.

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 a TV.

My uncle, thankfully, he had furniture.

I had a mattress.

Now,

I had one of those, what do they call it?

The platform bed.

Okay.

You know, lower the ground.

Then I had like.

some dressers.

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

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.

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.

I think to this day, I've never even bought furniture.

Really?

I know you ain't still got that furniture that your uncle left.

Nah, nah.

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

my stepmom, or like, even my son's mom is helping me out with being like, hey, when you're out of town, like, you want me to get you some furniture?

Like, you don't got shit.

And so they've...

They hook it up for you.

Yeah, I'll leave them some money, and when I come back, they're going to bless me.

Help me understand this.

You live

with your family.

Mm-hmm.

Probably you look so disappointed, Shannon.

No,

I just want to know this.

Where do you live?

Where you want to bring someone over.

How did that work?

I'm on the road, baby.

So, you don't never, when you go home, you don't never see nobody.

You just with my son.

Okay.

Yeah, I don't really.

My son is jealous.

He doesn't like when I've been on a few dates back home, but my son don't like that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've introduced him to maybe two girls in his life.

He don't like sharing the time.

Right.

So 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.

He likes Denver.

He liked that.

It was snowing.

Yeah.

Ooh.

So

good luck with that one.

Investing.

You say you invested.

So the money that you're making now

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?

What's the thing that makes you use generational wealth?

Oh, man, I'm not even worried about generational wealth.

Why got to take care of the next generation for it?

Your kids are the generation.

They ain't going to learn how to work.

You know what I mean?

Why am I going to leave them rich?

How are they going to...

No, I think

you leave them enough

to do something, but not enough to do nothing.

Man, I got to leave them with as much knowledge as I possibly can and a little bit of money to make sure.

A little bit of money, huh?

To make sure they don't start off at ground zero, maybe.

I want to leave them with more valuable knowledge than I do with money, man.

If I leave money to anybody, it's just to whatever family I have that maybe isn't able to work or whatever.

But that's on them.

Did you buy that Hawk Tui coin?

Nah.

Hell nah.

That shit sounded so stupid.

I don't know who buy it.

But it seems like everybody else getting the coin, man, and making bread off it.

It was working now or what?

I don't know.

I didn't look.

Did you invest in Bitcoin?

Hell no.

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.

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

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 on every opportunity.

No, you don't.

Right.

Sometimes, like, I'm a good money.

Yeah.

I don't, like.

Ain't no sense in chasing it.

You could be making billions.

For what?

Yeah, and I could be losing.

Yeah, I could be losing what I have right now, man.

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

You met Kevin Kevin Hart at the Netflix party.

What was that experience like with Kev?

I didn't know about that.

Yeah, that was cool, though.

He was so nice.

He was just cool.

He looked so beautiful.

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

during the festival, and

every celebrity that I met at that party or that I even looked at

looked

pretty beat up, including myself.

And maybe it was from party, maybe it was just from working so much.

You know, this is a crazy lifestyle.

And a lot of the celebrities I met there, they're way more successful than I am.

I could only imagine the stresses and the work that they have.

And then

Des Chappelle introduces me to, he's like, Kevin, he's like, I want you to meet this guy.

And I look at Kevin Hart, and he looks so much more beautiful than everybody there and so much wealth.

Like, he ain't got no worry, no stress.

No, I think they injected him with like just nutrition 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.

I don't know what to say.

I was so nervous.

I was like, hey, people speak highly of you, too.

Yeah.

He got a car collection.

Yeah.

Have you heard about his car collection?

Have you seen it?

I've seen a car that they built for him on this one YouTube video.

Oh, you talking about that Plymouth, that road car?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Sick right there.

No, he got some stuff back.

Ooh.

Ooh.

I would like to drive his cars.

Kevin Hart, please invite me over to your house.

No, Kev, Kev, Kev is a serious car guy.

He's a serious car enthusiast.

But he got some stuff.

He got like the Grand National.

He has two like Grand Nationals.

He have a cut.

He had a custom cut.

He got

one of those

from Speed Core.

One of them carbon fibers.

Oh, like a full carbon fiber car.

Yeah, man.

That thing is fire.

That's scary right there.

They fly.

Yeah,

he got some stuff.

We went to that Speed Vegas yesterday.

Yeah.

That was tight, man.

That was my first time driving on a circuit track.

It's tight.

I'm going to go to see.

I want to see SEMA.

You ever been to SEMA all the 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.

But I hope I I can get it to SEMA this year because you know, you got to like work in the car industry to get in there.

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna try to.

I hope there's a lot of girls there.

You smoke with Chappelle?

Yeah, hell yeah.

I'm not gonna do that.

He has some good weed, he has 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 gonna watch, so I don't want to be too high.

Right.

And I'm up there in my head too much.

So I was just like, nah, I'll wait.

But so when I met him, I met him.

I had two shows that night.

Right.

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

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

And then

in the, because at the Hollywood Improv, there's another room called the Lab.

It's a smaller room.

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?

So everybody stays, 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.

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.

A couple of times.

Salem?

Business?

Nah, I hadn't smoked enough to even choose like my own.

My first HBO appearance got me smoking cigarettes.

Right.

But not regularly.

I was just...

I appeared on HBO, but I was still very local.

It didn't take me, it didn't really

give me a career.

So I showed 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.

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 wanted to smoke with them.

So I smoked a couple cigarettes so that when I met Chappelle, I wasn't just like, it's my first time.

But yeah, I got on stage with him and

Chappelle.

Yeah, I was going to smoke with him, man.

You meet Chappelle.

He gave you any advice?

Not like right off the bat.

He did tell me, though, he was like, man, you're like, he's like, I'm not no teacher, nothing like that.

But if there's anything you want to talk about,

anything I could show you, like, just hit me up.

So when I closed the deal with Netflix, I asked him, like, what...

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.

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.

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

Um,

I mean, not really.

I wish I could have met Norman McDonald, rest in peace to him.

I thought he was really funny.

Like,

I wish I could have met Bernie Mac.

Mac.

Yeah, he has jokes that I think people would have tried to

cancel him.

Yeah, yeah, you know,

way back when, I mean, him and Prior.

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.

So I wish I could have met Bernie Mac, man.

Okay.

Have you ever been starstruck by anybody?

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 i don't know when i'm when i'm annoying somebody right so maybe i have annoyed somebody like but like i don't know like i don't i don't like asking for pictures because i'm like they're probably tired of it

but

i i don't know i don't know if i've necessarily been like super starstruck yeah you know joe rogan and a lot 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.

Have you ever met Rogan?

Yeah, I did his show one time.

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.

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

Yeah.

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.

I'll go on there.

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

Yeah,

they're conspiracies.

They talk about the world is flat.

There's, you know.

And then they got like science on like why

flamingos can actually lift barbells and stuff.

I don't know what to talk about.

I haven't done my research.

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.

I didn't want to let him go.

I love Adam Sandler, you know what I mean?

Like, like, like anybody else.

Like, I grew up watching his movies and I had a had a general, my manager, my agent, set up like general meetings.

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

Right.

They'll ask you questions like, do you want to write movies?

Do you want to write TV shows?

You want to act?

Like, well, 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 you a meeting with

Happy Madison.

So he might be there, he might not be.

And I'm in this meeting with these two dudes, and

it's pretty cool to laid back.

And all of a sudden, he just opens the door.

He's like, Who's this guy?

I was like, How you doing, Mr.

Sandler?

He's like, My name's Ralph Barboso, whatever.

And

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?

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

Right.

and uh, he was just real cool, man.

He gave me a hug, and he was cool as hell, right?

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.

That show is like necessary right now.

It's on Netflix, it's hilarious.

Okay, uh, he wrote me, he wrote me in on the first episode of season two.

Okay, season one is good, season two, I think, is even better.

Season two is very necessary, especially with the things that are going on now.

I think Mo

it is crazy that Mo like wrote this with his team

and to see all the stuff that's been going on after he wrote it.

It's almost like he was predicting the future.

It just touches on a lot of the stuff that's heavy in America right now and the world, maybe.

But I was on that show.

He wrote me in that show.

And I did a commercial for Verizon where I was doing it in Spanish.

And they didn't like the way I spoke Spanish.

I mean,

is there a way to speak Spanish?

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, right?

North Mexico.

But they were like, I need to talk like a neutral Spanish.

And they had meet 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.

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

George Lopez went viral.

Basically, he was, I guess they say he was hating hating on you, saying that nobody knew you.

Get that.

People from our community, when it should be a positive, should be uplifting, somebody from the community got out.

Instead,

somebody from the community says something negative.

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.

Everybody sent me a video.

How did it make you feel?

I didn't care.

He's a grown man.

He can say whatever he wants.

It's his podcast.

He paid for the equipment.

You know what I mean?

Also,

like,

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

I didn't think, like, I'm not saying he's not funny.

Right.

You know, I just wasn't into George Lopez.

So, like, you know, if it had been Adam Sandler, Dave Chappelle was like,

but he's Hispanic.

He's from the community.

It hurts more.

I ain't gonna lie.

It hurts more when somebody from the community says something negative about me.

I guess so.

I don't know.

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

He's a veteran comedian.

Maybe he's from South Mexico.

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

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

he, he outranks me.

He could say that stuff, like, you know what I mean?

Like, man,

I don't know what's gonna 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, like, what if when I'm his age, I'm doing the same thing?

I don't know what I'm gonna be like, you gonna be hating?

I hate so many people right now.

I might.

Nah, I hope not.

I hope not.

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 I'm like, bro, he was a f ⁇ ing.

You like,

okay.

But he was like, no, no, no, no.

He's like, I didn't.

He said, I really didn't know who you were.

And he's like, asked around about you, and people had nice thing to say.

So he's like, he's like, my bad man.

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.

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 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

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

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

it could be great advice

or it could it could be great advice that worked for them and it could work like nothing for you and yours because everybody's comedy style is so different my only advice to 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

yeah but yeah i think it's important to pass along whatever you know.

What are your thoughts on cancel culture?

Is there a joke that you will not, absolutely will not tell on stage?

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

Like if they, if you, if you're trying to cancel me, you got to be like soft, 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,

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.

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 going to be fine.

You can't cancel him.

You're going to make his fans like him even more.

Right.

Well, okay.

Is there a joke that you regret telling?

Like, yeah, I probably shouldn't have told that one.

Or told it like that.

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

Joe, I mean, like,

if I write 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, no, no, that was my masterpiece.

Like,

I'm out there saying poop and bud.

Yeah,

if they like it, they like it.

They don't,

my comedy ain't for you.

Yeah.

The Mexican, I think his name, what was it, OT?

Oh, Mexican OT.

Yeah, that said the N-word.

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,

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

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

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.

But I was so enclosed.

Like, I was so.

But were you saying around blacks, or were you saying it around in your community?

No, like, with black, like you think there wasn't no black people where I grew up?

No, I'm just saying.

We weren't like saying it all like, like, oh, I heard this on TV.

Like, let's just say it.

Like, it was just like saying, bro, or like, 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 that.

Wow, I didn't know that.

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

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 should have said that right but like i somewhat understand what he was saying you know what i mean right only because it's like where we're growing up everybody was saying it like white white kids were saying it where i was growing up with other black kids right and like maybe some of the black kids didn't like it but like nobody was saying nothing like for the most part the like it was it was okay right 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,

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

Joke stealing.

Where are you on joke stealing?

That's horrible.

That's worse.

Because it's kind of split.

I've heard people say, look.

Look, well,

Mexican saying the N-word is just a little bit worse.

So joke stealing right below CD.

Because I've heard, you know, different people say.

Might even be worse.

Like,

at least when you say it in the end word, you're not stealing someone's joke, you know?

Yeah.

No, I think that they did worry.

But no,

in seriousness, though, because I've heard different comedians say different.

Like, hold on.

If that's not the only joke,

or tell better jokes, and then there are some people like, nah, bro, you can't do that.

You cannot, you cannot take someone's material.

And even if you try to dress it up,

about, even if I'm talking about a bird, you can't come back and say it was an owl, even though I was talking about an eagle and have the same premise.

I think that

you're going to cross premises no matter what with people.

Because your mind is a lot alike.

I mean.

But you, like, if it's like,

it can get a little like sketchy where you're like, ah, well, they're similar, but it's a little different on you.

But if it's a little too similar, like, just change it.

Yeah.

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

Yeah.

There's a comedian

out of Texas, the local guy,

not trying to down talk, like, I'm not trying to be like, he's not famous, but there's a comedian who like

showed me where he was like, first he tried to, I think he tried to say, I stole his joke.

Right.

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.

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.

Right.

And I like,

man, I think I'm creative enough.

I can think of something, something else.

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.

But, like, don't.

And I think older comics fight about that more than nowadays because now it's like, I post it first, I said it first.

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,

but I never heard his joke, or he never posted a joke, and I posted mine, well, like,

I didn't steal it.

Right.

We had a similar joke ideas, maybe, right?

Now, if somebody posted a joke

and then I just started doing that joke word for word.

Now, that's an obvious steal.

That's Haines, chopped his head off.

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 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 nah i bought it i bought it yeah right

have you ever had a joke stolen

yeah

uh

but it was like local and it was like

not even a good joke i don't even remember how it went but it's

I didn't trip.

My buddy Wes Corwin gave me the best advice on that.

He's like, man, if they're stealing jokes,

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

They're going to burn out.

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

Do you write for other comedians?

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.

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.

Said the joker yeah

now that you've made it how have you been able to deal with fame

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

I don't like that people opinion like 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 on a video for 45 seconds right 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,

which is probably worse.

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.

You know what I mean?

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

real serious

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.

How has it changed your life?

I don't, don't, when I'm home, I don't leave my house no more.

Really?

Yeah.

I don't trust.

Like, I love my fans.

Like I said, like, they've given me everything.

Like, and

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...

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

And yeah, and then there's a, there's a lot.

It feels, even though it might be five seconds before their next question, it feels like an hour before, 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 when they, when they take long to say the next thing,

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

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, f ⁇ off, bro.

You know what I mean?

But then, like, then then other people come up and they're just like oh bro i like your stuff i'm just like oh thank god like it's such a relief for them to just say something so quick and so nice and be gone and just be gone yeah because other people i'm like what do you want to talk about bro like what is it that you really want to say

how they're dating now that you're famous and you got some bread and the people know you got bread

um

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 know what I mean?

Or other girls think they don't trust me.

They think that I'm not being genuine.

They're like, ah, you just,

you think because

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 believe me, all right, then.

Have you been on some bad dates lately?

Not really.

Haven't really been on any dates lately.

I don't.

You don't have a type.

You just like go with the flow, whatever.

The flow, yeah.

One time, I heard this on a...

on the anime.

They say 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.

Have you ever had a situation where like you said, like, they ask you to take videos or say happy birthday?

And I hate that, too.

Don't get on FaceTime.

Hey,

can you say hey to my dad?

My dad's a big, can you say to my brother?

Come on, bro.

I almost prefer, like, I didn't used to like it.

Sometimes they would just run up to you and already have it.

So I didn't used to like that.

And I still kind of don't, don't get me wrong.

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.

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 got to go.

I got to get to do this.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

It's like, I'm like, man.

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.

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.

Guess you'll never go get, you never go, guess who I ran into at the hill.

You never go, guess, guess who it is.

And then I'm right there, like, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, that's what they usually ran into me.

And then you're not gonna tell me what to say either.

I'm gonna say what I want, it's my conversation.

One time, this lady pulled up, like, this is my dad.

I'm like, hey, your daughter's a whore.

Fuck you, want me to say, man?

I don't know you.

You could be a whore.

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

But no, you, but hey, that you're a comedian.

You can say it.

Yeah, I'm not.

No,

but look, I think the biggest thing is that 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.

Whatever happened to ask.

Yeah.

Do you mind taking a picture with me?

They'd be like, hey.

Do you mind signing?

Do you have a picture real quick?

Yes.

How you going to tell somebody they are?

Oh,

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, we do this, I do not like you.

It's when somebody calls me out from like a distance to be like, Ralph, and I look, and then they go, Come here,

who the are you, bro?

I'm in the middle of a conversation over here with somebody, and you're like, Come here, like, I'm gonna be talking with my friends and be like, Sorry about this guy, you strangers calling me, like,

out of here, bro.

Hey,

or they call you, hey, Shannon, Shannon, you Shannon Sharp.

I say, hey, yeah, what's up, man?

Are you Shannon?

Yes, bro.

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're just like

another person, too, bro.

Like, I don't like when people don't believe that I'm like me, but you asked me.

That happened on 4th of July.

I went to go buy fireworks, 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.

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 bullshit with me i'm like okay i'm not and then he's like nah but for real like are you ralph i'm like bro it's not my job to convince you that i'm ralf like if you don't believe me right i don't care like if you believe me or not he's like nah bro like prove to me you're ralph i'm like nah

How am I going to prove it, bro?

Let me call my mom, bring my birth certificate.

If you don't believe me, what the f ⁇ do I care?

Hold on.

You send girls money on Cash App?

Have I send girls money on Cash App?

Yeah.

Nah, not if, not at, like, if I'm

recording.

That's old Ralph.

That was broke route.

Hold up.

If that's broke round, how you got bred to send money on cash app?

Broke Ralph was sending her 20 bucks and think he was doing something.

But here's some gas money.

Yeah, but they're at 20 bucks.

They go cut it now because they won't nail.

I mean, I be seeing the list like hair is like $400, nails is like $150, and they're like skincare.

Like, 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.

But now, I don't be sending girls no money on cash.

Like, if I, my last relationship, I might have gave her some money here and there, but

I learned my lesson.

What you learned?

I learned that I'm into girls who

who 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 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

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 if i pay for something for somebody i want them to really appreciate appreciate it and it's not for the world and it's not for everybody.

And usually, the people who appreciate it are the people who have their own career, right?

Red flags.

What are some of the red flags?

They're breathing.

I just want to know: do you care to share her name?

The one that's just one that does the damage that's being made you become so cynical.

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

but it's like everybody has red flags i don't know what are some like major ones 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 it but that's probably a red flag right you know what i mean right but it also doesn't it it might not mean she's a hoe maybe we did just hit it off that night right but i'm always gonna wonder like does she do this with every guy does she sleep with every every first date?

How many first dates has she gone on this one?

What if she's wondering that about you?

Does he do this on every date?

Yeah, I probably got tons of red flags.

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?

I don't get jealous, but I would say that like

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.

Why do you want to get the reaction?

Right.

And if he was so great, why are you here with me now and not with him?

Yeah.

Go f that guy.

He sounds amazing.

I want to meet him.

But you know what they're going to say.

If If I wanted to be with him, I would be with him, but I'm here with you.

Why are you so?

I mean, why are you so insecure?

Yeah, why are you bringing up those memories?

You don't see me throwing up my ex.

Oh, man,

she 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?

Yeah.

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

You know what I mean?

Your father, you mentioned your father.

Obviously, you're very close to your uncle.

What type of father are you to your your son?

I think

I'm pretty stern.

I feel like when you have a kid,

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.

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.

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

So

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.

He's six right now.

So I try to make sure he can live like a six-year-old, but I also try to stay staring on him and make sure that he's not becoming this.

this spoiled brat who's 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.

You ain't gonna leave it.

He'll surface 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.

I just know it.

Who you even talking?

You do talk to my ex, right?

Nah.

So,

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.

We were like on and off.

We were young.

We were like, you know, 20, 21.

When we started dating, we were like 18, 19.

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

We ended up getting pregnant, whatever, like 20, 21.

My son was like, yeah, I was like 22 when my son was born, you know?

So we're just real dumb, real mature, real

toxic for each other, maybe.

So I don't think she she wasn't like, oh, I'm going to do this to get back with him.

It was what it was, and we dealt with it.

Right.

You put yourself on child support.

Yeah.

Because she was being difficult.

I might have been being difficult with her too.

I don't know, but she was being like extra.

She was very emotional.

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.

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

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.

I will always be his dad.

And we're going to have to live, we're going to be in each other's life forever.

We're,

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

But one thing I kept reminding myself is that,

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

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.

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.

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.

So I put myself on child support to take the power out of her hands.

And it's like,

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, you, you can't say

you can't say

just because you're mad.

Right.

You know what I mean?

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

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 would do that.

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

You don't got to support me.

Yeah.

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

Right.

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

I mean, I.

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 didn't like no jokes.

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

everything I said was disrespectful to my, like in my dad's eye.

So like

with my son,

I think we joke a little more.

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 the biggest part is like, I can joke with my son a little more and like let him know it's okay to like

speak your mind.

Whereas with my dad, he's like, you better not be thinking like that.

You better not be joking like that.

Like, God, damn,

I better just be a mute.

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.

There ain't no hooks, because it varies.

I mean,

everybody writes these books or how to be a parent or being a parent for dummies or whatever the case may be.

But

you got to be a parent.

Yeah.

You got to do your best.

Just try your best.

When my son asks me questions, why is this?

Why is that?

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.

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.

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.

But my son is a lot like me in the fact when I was growing up, when I was his age,

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, go the one that's close.

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,

but he loves to be at home or with the Hot Wheels.

We set up the little High Wheels, we have little competitions on which one can stay on the track the longest, stuff like that.

Like, we, he's very homebody.

Women like men, the kids, you think so?

He helps you, he helps you pick up women.

I think, I think, when I

don't really post them now.

You know what I mean?

Because my biggest fear is that somebody will say something ignorant.

Right.

Like, like responding.

So I don't really post them.

But when you had the movie, just you and him or y'all going to the arcade?

Not.

Yeah, you're not, yeah, yeah.

I don't know.

But like before, when I used to post them, before I had any fame, I'll post them.

Yeah, girls will respond to the story, be like, oh, this is so cute.

Or like, whatever.

Especially if it's like, you know,

another, like a single mom or something, you know, maybe feel more comfortable with you yeah well you know we ought to get together you know have our kids have a play dates and stuff like that yeah but i tried that once my son hated it

my son hated it really hated that other kid i want 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 five i don't want to hang out with them

he likes being the only child yeah i he has uh two sisters right through his mom his mom uh had two more kids after him

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 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, well, this is me and him.

He could.

He wants your undivided attention.

Yeah.

Which I love it.

I mean, I'm for it.

Good luck getting married, having a girlfriend, having another kid.

Good luck with that.

We'll see how it goes.

Are you type one diabetic?

Yeah, type one.

When did you realize you had it?

I was like six.

Really?

Yeah.

So you had juvenile diabetes?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Why does it say it like that, Juvenile?

That sounded like I was like a bad kid.

He's diabetic and he don't know how to act.

He's diabetic and he steals.

I guess kid diabetes with it.

So, 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,

I didn't want other kids to know or to ask me about it, but they would, because like

every grade,

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.

I would be like on the edge because I would hate it.

I was just anticipating the day that one of my classmates would be like, why do you leave early?

Yeah.

Fuck.

I'm going to have to tell them now.

But for the most part, they would be like, oh, okay.

And then, you know, they wouldn't really ask too much about it.

But yeah, I definitely felt like a little weird in some classes.

As I got older, I got over it.

You know what I mean?

Were there certain things that you couldn't eat?

Because

it would drop your insulin level or it wouldn't.

It was spiky, you know.

I had to learn to like, I i have to be very

like i have to know my body and how it reacts so 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 right and some can like i'm very sensitive to it so like

um

yeah there'll be times where we're at school 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 and i'll be like oh i just don't want one

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 put me on the spot, he's like, You can't eat that, don't let him eat that.

I was just like, bitch, let me get away with a cupcake.

So, you have, so you have one of those things on that you check with your phone, and you check it on?

No, I'm trying to get one, but I got this shitty insurance right now.

Can't even get into the damn appointment with the doctor, but

anyway, I'm working on that right now.

So, but I'm trying to think:

is there a lot of sweets in a Hispanic diet?

Man,

there's a lot of lard

and flour and milk.

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

But does anybody else have diabetes in your family?

So this is kind of a funny story.

So my grandpa was an old school type man.

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,

what do they call it?

Estrange brother?

Yes.

He was raised by his mom, right?

My grandpa's side check.

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.

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.

You mentioned one of your friends, Kim Flores, he died at the age of 28 of cardiac arrest

when you received that call.

It was horrible.

28.

28.

We're the same age, me, Ken, and Renee.

Okay.

I mean, there was, I feel like there was something special about the three of us just because we were three

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

Ken was from Chicago,

Chicago, and then later on moved to Aurora.

So he's from the Chicago area.

Moved to Aurora, Colorado?

Ken did, yeah.

Okay.

Ken moved there when he was a kid from Chicago.

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.

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

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

We all grew up Mexican as hell.

Right.

You know, probably crazy ass families, maybe a little traumatic.

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.

So yeah, it sucked, man, when I got that call.

I was immediately worried about Renee because Renee and Ken were super, super close, touring together all the time.

And I was on Alcatraz.

I went on that tour.

I had been on

San Francisco.

I love going to San Francisco.

Shout out to you.

Oh,

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,

How'd you get on that?

This was back in January,

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

Me and Renee and Ken were working on a tour together.

We were working all the details to tour together.

And they, they,

you know, our agents, our managers

routed,

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

And the day that we're supposed to like sign off, like the three of us each put our signature on there, the tour tourist set.

Yeah.

Uh, was the day

that we heard Ken

pass.

And it sucked.

I remember I was in San Francisco and I got, and I'm, and I got off this Zoom meeting with some people from FX

because they saw me.

They came to my show in LA.

I did a pop-up show in L.A.

I had just filmed the Hulu special.

I filmed the Hulu special

the next day.

I go to LA just to hang out and start working on new materials.

And I booked this show right there in LA.

And Renee comes and he brings Ken.

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.

And they're like, nah, nah, it's your show, bro.

We just came to support and hang out.

And I was like, nah, that.

Y'all are here.

Like, y'all have to, like, y'all have no option.

Right.

So we go on stage.

We end up doing like an hour and a half getting drunk on stage and

bullshitting with the audience.

You know what I mean?

And there's a moment.

It was like something out of a movie, how everything's so dramatic because there's like a moment we're on stage and me and Renee are talking about how much we love Ken.

And

we're sandwiching him.

We're hugging him.

And

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

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.

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

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,

like, as soon as if y'all like it.

Because me, Ken, and Renee agreed that, like,

nothing

can be

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?

I'm like, oh, I talked to Renee, but I didn't talk to Ken yet.

I'm going to talk to him later today.

And we'll see, you know?

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,

they're like,

you know, they start off with the basic conversation.

How'd you get into comedy?

Do you want to write with her?

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.

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 right like we're about to sign off on that 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 when a comedian has his own show it takes a lot of work it's a lot of writing yeah months and years of writing and yeses and no's here and there you know what i mean and that i remember that lady straight up She hadn't cussed the whole Zoom call.

I was afraid to cuss because, you know, so like

professional, yeah.

But she started cussing.

She was like, y'all were funny.

She she was like if y'all ever wanted to make a show y'all just write it i'm gonna make that shit happen right 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 gonna tell them like maybe they'll want to do that we'll see and so i'm like yeah i'm gonna talk to them later today i was like today we have a meeting so like i'm gonna talk to them and yeah man i go i to kill time i go do that alcatraz tour later in the day I always like that tour.

I've been on it like three times.

Okay.

And I get the call as the tour is over.

Like I'm waiting for the boat to come back to take us back.

And I get the call about Ken.

And man, it felt like that boat was never going to arrive.

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.

And yeah, like I'm not making none of this up.

This is like, it sounds dramatic as f ⁇ ing.

But I remember just sitting on that boat on the way back to San Francisco, and I see these three sea like seagulls flying, following the boat, and then one of them just goes off, and then two go this way.

And that shit just made made me burst into tears, man.

Like, damn.

But Ken was so cool and so funny.

Like,

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

And 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?

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.

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 is just he had he had the best people around them

transitioning

talk about hookers no no no

the relationship between your community and my community

there seems to be differing of opinions Some say it's okay, some say it's not.

We see right now what's going on with the mass deportation, and it's like,

well, we need our black brothers, which is people that look like me, to be supportive.

I think that's up to each individual on their own.

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,

and again, I cannot emphasize this enough.

This is an opinion of a comedian who makes

stupid

juvenile diabetes jokes.

Don't take me too serious.

Y'all be crucifying me for my stupid-ass little opinions.

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

I've met

black Republicans, I've met black liberals, like support who you want to support, you know what I mean?

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

it's like if you kind of stay silent,

it kind of looked bad, you know, and suck.

You know what I mean?

And like,

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

now that

it's like this, it's like, well,

I don't think because you're black,

we need you to support.

But I think, hey, if you really are a supporter of like what's going on with like us and our situation, like whether you're black, Chinese, whatever, like white people, like

I

like to see it.

I appreciate it from when I see it.

But 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.

Well, I mean, the thing is, I mean.

I don't like that.

I think, 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.

They ran on that.

Yeah, and I'm not going to sit here and be mad at like

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, there's Mexican, like, you've seen it, especially in Texas.

There's so many Mexican Trump supporters, and that really has my mind bottom.

I'm like,

you know what he's like, said he's going to do it.

He's going to break up families and X, Y, and Z.

Yeah.

And I don't, like, I mean, my main, I don't care, like I was saying, like, I don't care.

I don't care what race you are.

Support who you want to support.

Absolutely.

The only one that does, like, confuse me

is when

Mexicans are so hard on the border laws.

Like, bro, like,

we didn't get here 400 years ago.

A lot of our people are just immigrated here.

Like, you've been here like a generation generation and you already want to close the borders.

Like,

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

I'm here.

Yeah, well, that's what has to happen.

I'm up here, so I'll pull the ladder out the way.

Yeah.

So that way you, hey, I'm here.

What makes you so special, bro?

I see, I get what you're saying.

I totally understand.

I totally understand.

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

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.

What can they expect on the Hulu special?

A whole lot of tomfoolery.

Just jokes, personal stories, some observations, some opinions.

I think you can expect to laugh.

I think you can expect to laugh.

My Netflix special.

Nate Bargatzi gave me some good advice.

He's like, hey, put all your best jokes out there.

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

So

that's what I did on my Netflix.

That's what I did on my Hulu.

Personally,

I might catch some backlashers saying this.

I think I like the jokes on my Hulu one better.

Really?

Yeah.

Because my Netflix one, I was still so nervous.

I was still getting used to having a following.

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

I was like, The person who I am,

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

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.

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 are going to respond to that.

I think

it's better than my first one.

Wow.

So, I hope y'all enjoy it.

Why do you want to be buried in pajamas?

Because

I never walked around in suits.

I mean, what about, you know,

cons,

you know, black jeans

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.

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

first impression is everything.

Yeah.

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.

So you need a little

double-breasted suit.

Welcome to the world, kid.

You start earning your keep.

Oh, man.

Ralph Barbosa.

Thank you, bro.

Thank you, sir.

Appreciate you, man.

Thank you for having me.

Yeah, big hands.

Help me catch footballs.
