SPEAKER_04 0:01

Let's go. What is up, Mind Buzz Universe? Welcome back to another podcast episode of The Mind Buzz. I am your host, Gil, and working the board this evening, today, this afternoon, this morning, whenever you're listening to this podcast, is a lovely Amber. How are you?

SPEAKER_00 0:35

Hi, I'm doing good.

SPEAKER_04 0:36

What's up?

SPEAKER_00 0:37

Nothing much.

SPEAKER_04 0:38

What's going on?

SPEAKER_00 0:40

Uh nothing. Um still caffeinated from the morning.

SPEAKER_04 0:45

Yeah?

SPEAKER_00 0:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 0:46

So do you how many shots do you drink in the morning? How often? Two shots? That's pretty standard, right?

SPEAKER_00 0:52

But remember, I do the whole um weaning off of coffee for a couple days.

SPEAKER_04 0:58

And then I redo it. I wasn't aware that you do that. Yes. What is that?

SPEAKER_00 1:02

We've been together for seven years. I've been doing this. So every so often I don't drink coffee for a couple days. Like if it's not doing anything for me, I don't drink coffee for a couple days. And then once I get back to it, it's like Yeah. Yeah. Today was that.

SPEAKER_04 1:21

It was that day?

SPEAKER_00 1:22

It was that day. I cleaned the entire house today. So yeah, it works. Yeah. It works very well.

SPEAKER_04 1:31

I gotta do that. I think um I gotta do it at least like every three weeks. I gotta do it.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Yeah, I don't do it like often. I'll do it maybe once a month or like every so often, but I promise you, as soon as you leave it, and I know sometimes it's hard, but when you come back to it, it's like like oh yeah? Yeah, like you taste the coffee all over again.

SPEAKER_04 1:54

That first sip, that first sip of a freshly like a fresh espresso in the morning is like the best thing.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

I wonder if this is equivalent to like someone getting clean off drugs and then they relapse. Is that that intense?

SPEAKER_04 2:10

That's I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 2:12

I'm just thinking like cause because the way that we're talking about it is like usually when when that happens, people like they OD. I know, but you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_04 2:24

Yeah?

SPEAKER_00 2:24

You know what I'm trying to say.

SPEAKER_04 2:25

I know what you're trying to say.

SPEAKER_00 2:26

Okay. Say something.

SPEAKER_04 2:29

You seem like it all. Like what I was yeah. No, it that it's it's that's good. I condemn I not condemn you. I congratulate you.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

Deep down inside you condemn me.

SPEAKER_04 2:42

No, I I wish I could I I should try that. I need to try that because I think this week I'm at the point where I it the two shots aren't doing anything for me, and I end up drinking a monster like what I did today. Like right after. And I'm doing two shots right now. Yeah, you're and it's mid-afternoon.

SPEAKER_00 3:05

I'm condemning you.

SPEAKER_04 3:06

Condemn me. Drag me to hell. By the way, con uh Drag Me to How is uh one of the movies that I seen last week was awesome. Did you like it?

SPEAKER_00 3:16

What like the Sam Raimi? The last parts I seen?

SPEAKER_04 3:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:20

Uh yeah, it was cool. It was kind of weird.

SPEAKER_04 3:22

It was weird, huh?

SPEAKER_00 3:23

Yeah. Well, because I walked in like you 75% into the movie, and I was like, what the fuck are you watching?

SPEAKER_04 3:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:29

So I wasn't sure if it was like a horror movie or a comedy or like somewhere in the okay, so the last what you seen, the last like 30 minutes of it? I thought it was pretty campy.

SPEAKER_04 3:39

It's pretty campy, right? I think that's why it's on the list.

SPEAKER_00 3:42

Yeah, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_04 3:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

But I mean, if I would have known from the beginning that it was campy, then I wouldn't have been like I think it's just Sam Raimi as a director or a writer.

SPEAKER_04 3:52

I think he's he directed it, but I'm also pretty sure if you look it up real quick. And then we'll we'll bring in uh our guest.

SPEAKER_00 4:02

Sorry, guest. Right with you.

SPEAKER_04 4:04

Oh no, well, I'll I'll bring him in right now.

SPEAKER_00 4:06

Um what am I looking up?

SPEAKER_04 4:09

Just uh Drag Me to Hell, uh written by. And while Amber's doing that, uh let's bring in our next guest this evening. He's a content creator, he's also the stand-up. Please give it up for Drew Martinez, ladies and gentlemen. He is now a podcaster. I gotta add podcaster at the end of every introduction that I do because now they're they're podcasters after they come on the show. Thank you for having me, Gil. Yeah, wonderful score. Of course, man. Thanks, dude. Appreciate it. Yeah, you guys were talking about the Drag Me to Hell that Yeah, you watched it?

SPEAKER_03 4:42

No, I haven't yet, but I was looking at it. I was like, should I watch it? It's like one of those ones I wasn't sure of, you know, to check out because I feel like a lot of from 2020 and on are a lot of predictable, scary movies. Yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_04 4:55

Oh, yeah, right there. Drag Me to Hell 2009 was written by Sam Raimi and his brother Ivan Raimi. The duo wrote the script as a moral tale about character facing supernatural supernatural consequences for greedy choice, which the story conceived about 10 years before production. Sam Raimi also directed the film. So yeah, he wrote and directed it.

SPEAKER_03 5:18

2009 has got to be a good movie then. You guys saw it, no?

SPEAKER_04 5:21

Yeah. Yeah, I watched it last week or on sudden well, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:25

Last week.

SPEAKER_04 5:26

Yeah, last week. I watched it last week and yeah, I thought it was pretty good. Oh. So I'm doing this list. Uh, you know, Bill Hader? Bill Hader, no. SNL. Oh he also uh wrote and and starred in Barry. He's uh he's like a comedic actor. He was on SNL, that's what he's most famous for. Uh-huh. He has he has a list of uh 200 movies that he thinks that every comedy writer should watch. Wow. And I'm gonna try to get through all of them. And what one of them was Drag Me to Hell. And one of them was Drag Me to Hell. Get out of here. Yeah. Oh shit. He has a lot of weird ones on there. Like uh, he has like Toy Story 1, 2, and 3. Is he saying like a meaning with what they like what does he want you to get out of it? Just from the article that I read, he just wants, I guess, he wants you to see or the viewer to see different styles of writing in in movies and feature films. Gotcha. But I see that. Like he has so uh out of Sam Raimi is is more he's most famous for uh Evil Dead, like Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and then uh there's a there's a third film that he did that's connected to uh uh but they will both do only scary movies, huh? Sam Raimi? I don't know. Can you look up list of Sam Raimi films? I feel like I've only known him doing Oh, he's in Spider-Man. Oh yeah, he did Spider-Man too. I forgot. Yeah, Spider-Man, The Evil Dead, Send Help. Send Help's a horror film. He did all three Spider-Mans. Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. You seen any good movies lately?

SPEAKER_03 7:10

What did I see that was probably like my best good one? I thought One Battle After Another was good. Yeah, I don't know if you saw that that one was good with Leonardo. I thought that was great. Um as far as scary movies, I thought um what is it? Not the strangers. It was um Don With the Children.

SPEAKER_00 7:31

Oh, um the ones that they're like it's like Whispers?

SPEAKER_04 7:35

What is it? No, it's with a W. What's it? Um I feel like it starts with a W. Oh, it's not guess because then if they're if only if only there was a device that we can it just popped up.

SPEAKER_00 7:52

What do I even look uh children 2025 scary movies?

SPEAKER_03 7:56

Because I think it came out, yeah, last year.

SPEAKER_00 7:59

Disappearing horror.

SPEAKER_03 8:03

It's like movie. I'm like, it's a great movie. I don't know what it's like.

SPEAKER_04 8:06

It's like whispering. I want to say oh weapons. There we go.

SPEAKER_03 8:09

I know it started with the W. Yeah, I thought that one was good writing. Yeah?

SPEAKER_00 8:14

Yeah, yeah, that one was pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 8:16

The one the way it was described was good. Because usually you're like, okay, pretty predictable. You know, kids go missing, blame the teacher. We start breaking down the evidence, you know, kids start going missing, what's wrong with the teacher? But while the teachers explaining, yeah, I think there's a backstory to like how they're breaking it down of why they're getting missed and everything, it's great. And then you have Thanos in there, so it's I mean, that adds to it.

SPEAKER_00 8:42

They I I I'm almost sure that they said they're gonna do like a like another part, right? An adaptation, but it's like about her.

SPEAKER_04 8:50

But are they gonna do a series or are they gonna do like a second film on Gladys? I think yes, I think it's her. Gladys was her name, right?

SPEAKER_03 8:57

Right, Gladys. I think it did so well unexpectedly to them that they were like, Oh, we have to do a number two.

SPEAKER_04 9:03

Yeah, she was just a really annoying character.

SPEAKER_03 9:06

She was good, uh.

SPEAKER_04 9:08

Why is it always an annoying characters that get a spinoff show? Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 9:12

I liked her, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

I mean the annoying character was nun too, right? The nun and conjuring. I thought I thought people were like fond of her, like, oh, she she has to have Oh, the nun? Yeah, like she has to have her own movie because of how scary she was and implicit she was.

SPEAKER_00 9:27

Yeah, those movies scare me.

SPEAKER_03 9:30

The conjurings?

SPEAKER_04 9:31

They do, yeah. Um, most of them, most movies don't scare Amber, but those ones that the ones that the ones that do are they're I think they're the more like realistic ones.

SPEAKER_00 9:41

Okay, look, this is this is the thing. I get scared when I'm at the theater, right? Like that. I don't like to feel like or the loud noises and stuff like that. But as soon as I get home, uh I'm it's off. Like I'm not scared. Um, but it's watching them, like watching them that scares me, and I'm just like, oh like scared you more, like the conjurings or the annabels? Uh probably the conjurings. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 10:08

Yeah. Annabelles I liked. Yeah. I like those ones too. But you know what? I I kind of like cut it off with like I don't really like when they possess children. I like when they like possess like I mean, I don't like it, but you know what I mean? Like it's more like entertaining right to see like a human, like an adult. You know what I mean? A children is like very like fragile, and like honestly, like when you see a child a child like demonic and they're beating up an adult, it kind of looks bad. Like, you know what I mean? It's just like bad directing after that. I'm like, why are we leading this?

SPEAKER_00 10:42

Like the one that scared me that is odd that it scared me, but it just did like I went to bed and I thought about it was um The Orphan.

SPEAKER_03 10:52

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 10:52

Do you remember that one?

SPEAKER_03 10:54

Little girl, right?

SPEAKER_00 10:54

Yeah, but she was like an adult. Oh, yeah. And I don't know, that one like kind of like it. Gave you the creep, but it creeped me out more than it like scared me. Like, I didn't think she was gonna pop up or anything like that.

SPEAKER_04 11:05

I think I just I think it was crazy.

SPEAKER_00 11:07

I kept thinking about it.

SPEAKER_03 11:08

She like taped her boobs down. She like there's low-key like guys that think like, damn, what if that happened to me?

SPEAKER_00 11:13

Like, I just get like Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:16

Like what was that?

SPEAKER_00 11:17

Yeah, they're they're just like something, but then um there is that case. The the one that we watched, uh, what's her name? Natalia, Natalia Grace. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:27

Do you know who that is? Was it inspired by her or was there a different there's a different case? I know there was there was a man, it was um, it was so there's also Natalia's case, right? But there's also like another one that it happened the same concept. I think he was like a French dude. He was like a French dude, and he he did the same thing, but he was doing it all over the world.

SPEAKER_00 11:51

Oh, you're talking about the documentary, you're talking about the documentary we've seen. Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:55

But he looked like a little boy, so and he was like 40?

SPEAKER_00 11:57

So he played off, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:59

He played off as ooks uh well he played off like uh he played off a missing child.

SPEAKER_00 12:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:05

Oh, no way. He looked just like the child? No, not even. No.

SPEAKER_00 12:10

We're both like the documentary. Okay, what's it called?

SPEAKER_04 12:14

Look up the documentary.

SPEAKER_00 12:15

How to look it up.

SPEAKER_04 12:16

See if there's a trailer. We gotta scream.

SPEAKER_00 12:18

I'm like, I want to tell you, but then if you're gonna watch it, I won't tell you. I'm not like that.

SPEAKER_03 12:21

I really like I don't care. Like if you tell me, I'm like, oh okay, I'm still gonna see it.

SPEAKER_00 12:24

Yeah, like but I can't remember what it's called.

SPEAKER_04 12:27

Um French dude that French dude that plays impersonates a child.

SPEAKER_03 12:35

Real story doctor. The one that gave me the creeps from inside of the scary movie was uh hereditary.

SPEAKER_00 12:41

I wonder I didn't watch those so good.

SPEAKER_03 12:45

It was good, right? But it was like I was like kind of creeped out. I was like, it's it's cultish for sure, but it's like very like creepy. I'm like, oh like the sightings, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 12:54

Like the sightings, like the so the the director slash writer of that it's Ari something, Ari something, forget his last name. He does Hereditary and he also does uh he did uh Midsummer, oh yeah, which is also a really good film. Both he did both of them and so good, dude. Damn it. So good.

SPEAKER_00 13:14

Okay, it's called The Imposter.

SPEAKER_04 13:16

There we go.

SPEAKER_03 13:17

Oh no way. I feel like I've seen that like in Netflix.

SPEAKER_00 13:19

Yeah, it was on Netflix. It's a 2012, so you might you might have seen it.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 13:25

And it's a family that this boy goes missing, right? Like this American kid goes missing and they can't find him and everything. I don't remember. Oh no, you know what? So he went missing in America, right? Right. The the kid, and this guy is in France.

SPEAKER_04 13:44

No, he's in Spain.

SPEAKER_00 13:45

Oh, he's in Spain, that's right.

SPEAKER_04 13:46

It's an imposter, a documentary centered on a young man in Spain who claims to a grieving Texas family that he is a 16-year-old son. He is their six-year-old son who's been missing for three years.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

Yeah, so but the guy, the the imposter guy is like in trouble with the law and stuff like that. So he's trying to see how he gets out of like you know what what he's doing. So he goes on like um like missing children posts or like the FBI stuff, and he sees this kid and he's like, Okay, I could probably pass for him. So he calls like the bureau and says, like, hey, I'm the missing kid, and they're like, What the hell? What is he doing all the way in Spain? Like he's from Texas, yeah. And then yeah, he like dyes his hair and all these things. They take him over to Texas, the family sees him and they're like, Is this your like they tell the sister is this your brother? And she's like, Yeah, it is him. No, the kid missing had blue eyes, and this dude has brown eyes, and then all of a sudden he has an accent, and this other kid had no accent, and he's a white kid, like white, white, right? And this dude's like not, he's French, yeah. So there was all these like parallels of things that just did not match up, and you're watching the whole documentary. Like, how how is this family so fucking dumb?

SPEAKER_04 15:08

The evidence pointed that no, this wasn't your son, this wasn't your brother, this is something weird dude. I think he still had like an accent. Yeah, they had an accent, an accent, like a Spaniard accent.

SPEAKER_03 15:22

He was like trying to get caught. Like, how do you how do you get away with this?

SPEAKER_00 15:27

Like I I think he he thought, like, I'm gonna see how far it goes. And when the family started, like, he was like, Oh shit, I'm in yeah, like they're like he because he talked, they interview him. He comes out and he says he's like, I couldn't believe that they were like falling for what what I was saying. But then they explain like grief, right? How the family wanted like the kid back so bad that they were like these were blinders that they had, like they were just yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:54

The mom was like, you know what? I don't even care that we circumcise him and he's grew it grew back. Yeah, that's him it's alright. I mean, three years, three years of skin grew back.

SPEAKER_00 16:08

Yeah, it's it watch it again. I've watched it twice already. I watched it one time by myself and then another time with him, and it was it was good. And then the one that I was telling you, the Natalia Grace one, it's an actual like she's an actual person, so she's like um like a like a little person, and she gets adopted from Ukraine, and she gets brought to a family, and the family adopts her, and then after a while, the family's like, we can't take care of her. So they literally put her in an apartment by herself, and then they're like, Okay, we'll just come back and like watch over you. So then the parents were saying that she was an adult trying to be a child, but then she claims like I was an actual child, so it's just this like long thing.

SPEAKER_03 16:55

Yeah, there's there's like she could possibly be sick in the head, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:58

And then they were saying they were saying like that she tried to like harm people, and then she tried to be with a dad, like kind of the things that happen with the orphan, but it's a real life um, and now she's an adult, I guess. I mean what you believe.

SPEAKER_04 17:15

I believe they took both of those cases and they came up with the orphan. Yeah, because both of those plots both of those are are are very they're integrated into that movie.

SPEAKER_00 17:29

Those are the movies that scare me, or the movies that are real, like that that can be real, that have real yeah, they have real plots. Like the demonic stuff and all that. I mean, for me personally, it's like okay, like you know, like I'm like, all right.

SPEAKER_04 17:44

What do you about what about uh drag me to hell? Do you think that no, yeah, yeah, you don't think some crazy woman, crazy man can put a curse on you? Do you believe in curses? Do you believe in curses? Yeah, I do. You believe in all that voodoo stuff?

SPEAKER_03 17:59

Yeah, I think I gotta believe on it. I believe like if someone's gonna practice it, it's gonna be like real, you know, and I believe like if there's a good, there's a bad. That's how I see it. Like we pray to God, we pray to churches, whatever you know you believe in. I think whatever you believe in, there has to be the opposite of that. Right.

SPEAKER_04 18:19

Oh, it's course, of course.

SPEAKER_03 18:20

It's uh there's no like, yeah. Even in life, I feel like they say that like the like with the sign, the is it the Chinese sign? The yin and the yang. Ying yin and yang. You know what I mean? It's like there has to be.

SPEAKER_04 18:31

Yeah, because there's all there's there's duality to everything in life, right? Right. There's there's two there's two things that oppose each other in life, and that's just it's science, it's uh the universe, it's it's God, whatever you want to call it. There's there's duality to everything, right, right, right, right. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_00 18:54

I think that people can like wish you bad. Um and again, this is just my personal opinion, but I don't feel like I can physically be cursed.

SPEAKER_02 19:09

Cursed, right?

SPEAKER_00 19:09

Um, maybe maybe, and and again, this is my opinion, but maybe the whole like curse thing, like if somebody, if you know, or you know, there's sometimes people say, like, I didn't know it was cursed, or if somebody tells you something, right? It's also it also goes to play with like psychologically, like how you perceive things or like how much you believe into it. Yeah, like or when people say, like, do you speak Spanish?

SPEAKER_03 19:32

Um no, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00 19:34

Well, I'll translate it.

SPEAKER_04 19:36

You know what I noticed that I I noticed that where if you ask somebody if they speak Spanish and they say poquito, they don't know Spanish. I just found that out today.

SPEAKER_00 19:47

Uh remind me about my remind me to tell you about my nephew. Remind me about uh tell me about my nephew.

SPEAKER_04 19:54

I'm saying from experience because I don't know Spanish. I know Spanish, but not enough to tell people. Yeah, not enough to tell people, oh, I know Spanish. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 20:04

So he's like poquito.

SPEAKER_04 20:05

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:06

Um what I was gonna say is I forgot what I was gonna say too. About the curse. About the curses and oh, like people, okay, like when people say like um, you know, uh they wished bad upon you, or you know, like just those things again. I think it goes with kind of what you perceive or portrayed it, or even like when people have said like the other day I was talking to a friend and she's like, oh, um, that she had gone to get like her palm red.

SPEAKER_02 20:35

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:35

And again, I don't believe in like, oh, you can tell me my future, but I but I also don't want to go because I don't want someone to influence my mind.

SPEAKER_02 20:45

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_00 20:47

That can maybe possibly not happen. And I also think like your mind is very, very fragile, fragile, but also very like you make things happen for yourself, it could be very strong in in the sense of like if you really believe that these things are gonna happen, some way, somehow, that path is going to get there. Yeah, um, so I don't know. I I really don't know. And again, I mean we've had several conversations on here. I didn't grow up with religion or my mom like uh scaring us in any way of like witchcraft or anything. Like I that was never a topic in the world.

SPEAKER_04 21:24

I mean your mom never did witchcraft?

SPEAKER_00 21:26

No, no, no, there was nothing. So I you know it's like he was shocked. Yeah, he's shocked. It and it was nothing like ever like, oh, put the candle on, like any Latino, you know, like things that maybe are the Swantum word theory, yeah. Like nothing like that was ever presented to me. So now as an adult, it's like those things fascinate me. Like I think, like, oh cool. But it's a little hard for me to have it present within my life. But then the other day we were talking about it in my book club where We were talking about how like a lot of um I don't want to say like witchcraft, but a lot of like magic things were things that also were brought by like our ancestors. And you know, they were talking about like colonizing and like how colonization colonized a lot of these like witchy factors and made them uh and made them into like no that doesn't exist, religion exists.

SPEAKER_02 22:26

Right.

SPEAKER_04 22:26

So then people were saying, like, you know, sometimes I feel like I could do this, and I was like sitting there, like, oh you know, so I think it's an interesting factor of like it is because I mean if you really if you think about it before colonization, the natives that were wherever wherever, wherever whatever part of the world you're from, there's this there's this uh there's this I guess no matter what culture it is, right? No matter what culture it is, they all s had different similarities to their cultures. Right of how they practice. Of how they practice stuff. But they called uh these entities or these things, you know, different names, of course, because of the different languages, but they all did the same thing.

SPEAKER_03 23:15

Like I feel like Mulan, like for instance, you know, when he's like bashing the bells and waking up all the gods. It's like I feel like that's the same thing, like when the same thing as the Mayans, they could be preaching to certain gods as well, and they do like smoking, they do like sacrifices, they do like horns, yeah. They do like certain things, then you go to Nigeria, wherever there is, and you have like they have like the sticks through their face or like whatever that that I don't even know, I don't even want to be wrong, but you know what I mean. That you we've all seen that, you know, um religion where they believe in that, you know, and they only eat a certain type. And some of them are like, you know, squirrels, humans, whoever they kill.

SPEAKER_01 23:53

And I'm like, I'm like, dude.

SPEAKER_03 23:55

You know what's crazy is like now that so much internet's gone out, is that you could see like there's a guy that like will travel to like an island and he'll like put a droid up to see like who's there, and like you just see like the islanders still like still in like almost like 1800 war, ready to go, like but haven't stopped moving there.

SPEAKER_00 24:13

Yeah, because they're they're islands that haven't been occupied by no one, anyone, so they still live very tribal, like they probably don't even know that internet exists or that cell phone.

SPEAKER_04 24:24

You will freak them out. Yeah, they're scared. They're really you'll have a phone and you will get shot with the colour. Would you think arrow?

SPEAKER_03 24:30

Would you think do you remember when Jackass went out there to one of the I think it was a Jackass 2.5 where they couldn't show like an uh an episode because they went out to a tribe and they had to stop. Like there was like three of them, and Steve O, Chris, and Knoxville were there, and he was saying, like, I was fucking scared. She was like, I was scared as hell, man. Those motherfuckers were gonna eat me alive. And I was like, dude, and they were a guy, a guy was like going like a couple of things. Oh, really?

SPEAKER_02 24:58

Oh shit, dude.

SPEAKER_03 24:59

But they were like, they're gonna eat whatever they eat. So they were like, oh, testing it out, like, oh, they just couldn't do it. And one of them was getting crazy with like uh, oh, what's it called? Like, he had like it was like elephant teeth around his neck, dude. Like, I don't know what this was. And like he was talking at Stevon, and he was trying to Stevle was trying to party with him, but the guy was like, No, I want to kill you. And the guy that was like with the tribe, like escorted him, like had to tell him, like, no, he doesn't mean that. Because there was one good one. That's how they feel like they got there, but like they were scared shitless. And I was like, damn, those tribes still exist. That was only like 12 years ago, 13 years ago. So it has to be like, you know.

SPEAKER_04 25:36

Well, if they've if they lasted that long, then I'm pretty sure that it's it's still in they're still pretty active now. Yeah, that's if it hasn't been that long.

SPEAKER_03 25:48

Scary stuff though. You think so? I just think it's like we'll never see it because we don't like have the power to like teleport anywhere, but it's like so much in this world that's like we haven't seen. Still on yeah, you'll never see, and that sucks.

SPEAKER_04 26:03

I think it's something like there's like a small percent of the ocean that we're we still haven't even. Yeah, you think it's small or you think it's big? The ocean?

SPEAKER_03 26:13

No, I'm seeing like what percent of that we haven't touched.

SPEAKER_04 26:15

Do you think it's oh it's uh it's large, yeah. I think it's like ten, like not less than ten percent. Can you look it up? It's like lend less than ten percent of the ocean that we've figured out. And we can't even so there's other ninety, ninety-five percent of ocean that we haven't even seen or touched or experienced.

SPEAKER_00 26:34

Because we can't travel that far down without the pressure, like loading everything.

SPEAKER_03 26:39

It's like space going up and down, right? Like once you hit space, you'll pump, you're pressured out. Yeah, you'll have no air, basically.

SPEAKER_00 26:45

That's why to me, to me, again, like mine, but like to me, it's it's almost like I don't want to use the word egotistical, but it's almost like very egocentric of us to think that we're the only yeah, like it's naive, something like you know, yeah. And I'm not saying like, oh, it's it's aliens or it's other humans, or you know, I'm not saying in that because I also don't, I know you believe aliens, but I think like species or even just other things, like they're high. Goodfoot, reptilians, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 27:20

I don't know, something I I don't think that they're aliens in the I guess the traditional sense, a little green man. I for me, an alien it is uh a broad definition of I think aliens are interdimensional beings that can travel in and out of dimensions.

SPEAKER_03 27:41

When you think of these beings, what kind of beings do you think they are? And I mean that as in like, okay, they're aliens, right?

SPEAKER_04 27:46

Yeah, they're they're they're like fit, like physical or like, okay, so like physically we we discovered they're aliens.

SPEAKER_03 27:53

Let's just say they're aliens. But now let's go deeper into them. So it's like we would go to a planet and it'd be like me and you, and we'd be like, okay, they're looking at us like fuck, they're humans. That's all they would call us, right? Right. But we're like pot smokers and like drunks. Do you get what I mean? I want to see what kind of aliens are pulling up to our earth. Oh, okay. I see, I see. Or like the opposite. You know what I mean? Like, are they stoners? Like the guys are like, what if they're like kids that from their like earth are like it? Let's just go to Earth, dog, and check out these foods and trip out, and they're like on shrooms looking at us, like, ah probably, let's grab this guy real quick, see what he does. And they're like fucking with us, or like grab the cows and they're like dissecting them.

SPEAKER_04 28:32

For sure, they're doing they're doing something weird. Like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 28:35

Like, yeah, they're probably like the they're or they're like soldiers that like have to come down here. That's how I see it. Like, yeah, there could be like two types of people that like they're like, we've captured so many species. I'm like, what are the odds they capture like some regular like dude that works at Carl's Jr. and he's like, I just came to visit and you guys caught me, damn. You know what I mean? Like he's basically fuck, I'm not gonna make it work tomorrow. They got me trapped here.

SPEAKER_04 28:58

I think it's Bill Hicks who has that bit about uh about why aliens visit like southern, like they always go to the south. They don't they don't ever go to any place good, yeah. But they always go to some random barn or random farm in in middle.

SPEAKER_03 29:15

Someone that's known you can't even get a hold of, they don't even know who's looking at them. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because they're not gonna go somewhere where it's filmed everywhere, which is here.

SPEAKER_04 29:27

But even then, I think they're just so far in advance of uh just so far advanced that they have the power to manipulate just anything.

SPEAKER_03 29:40

So you do you do you think there's uh also like multi-universes? Oh yeah. But okay, but do you think multi-universes but the same person we are, but now you just have like okay, three eyes.

SPEAKER_00 29:55

Now you have to be like, like like now that we're watching Star Wars, I kind of like it. I know it sounds goofy, but it's almost like you could be one of those characters. Like it could be that like how like what are they getting the like you guys don't make up something unless knowing something.

SPEAKER_03 30:12

Yeah, you know what I mean? Because I'm not gonna know what an alien looks like if I've never thought about it. Yeah, you know what I mean, or if I never don't even know what it looks like. Like if they're like draw me something and they you're it's a word, but you're like, I don't know what the fuck that is.

SPEAKER_04 30:24

Like I think that be like there's there's sightings, right? There's we can't dis uh dis I was gonna say discount, or you we can't say discredit.

SPEAKER_00 30:33

Discredit.

SPEAKER_04 30:34

We can't discredit. We can't discredit people that have think they've seen an alien because we uh for one, we don't know what they look like. And then two, I feel that these interdimensional beings can uh they can uh they can turn themselves into whatever we perceive them as. Shape shifting, huh? Yeah, they can shape shift into whatever they think we think that they look like. Right. And honestly, these interdimensional beings, we don't have this the senses to even see them, track them, smell them. Like we We're like ants to them. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 31:17

Yeah, we go about our days, we don't understand like what they look like. Obviously, we know like they're bigger than us, yeah, you know, they could do whatever they want with us, but you know what's crazy to me with that everything, it's like it's not it's not against the law to talk to them though, right? If you were to land one, if they were right, but it's against the law to talk to a dolphin. Is it really? Yeah, you can't communicate with dolphins, it's illegal.

SPEAKER_00 31:41

I seen something like that about dolphins. No, there it's true.

SPEAKER_03 31:44

You can't talk to a dolphin, you can't, you know because you'll try to they'll they'll know how to communicate with you. It's fucking weird. There was a guy that went down in San Diego, dolphins took him down, made him start building like an empire for him. It was telling him shit. And that he brought him, he came back like three days later. It was crazy. The guy went missing, and then the guy that came back, uh huh, like he was saying, like, oh yeah, I was talking to dolphins, and they brought me down to their lair, and basically I had to work for them, blah, blah, blah. I was like, damn. Well, they took him down where? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 32:16

To Atlantis. Yeah, that's what he's saying. Like, he's like making up, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:19

It honestly sounds like he's making it up, but like he was actually getting like a crime, like he was actually going to jail like for talking to them, supposedly. Yeah, that's what he's saying. But then everyone's just being like, Oh, you're crazy. But now, if you look at the law, it's a yeah, it's against the law.

SPEAKER_00 32:35

Where is it?

SPEAKER_04 32:37

Dolphin shocked and speak their language.

SPEAKER_00 32:40

I seen that though. I seen the guy that, yeah. And then this week I seen something in a comment section on TikTok that said, Um, how can you talk to something, but it's illegal to talk to dolphins? And I was like, what the hell are they talking about? But now it makes sense that you're saying that.

SPEAKER_04 32:57

Just look up is it legal illegal to talk to dolphins? That is wild. I this is the first time I've hearing that. Really? Yeah. I'm not much into uh I don't follow.

SPEAKER_00 33:13

To communicate with or talk to wild dolphins can be considered illegal.

SPEAKER_04 33:16

What the under the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act, it is unlawful to engage in harassment quotations. Quotes, which legally includes which legally includes any action that has the potential to disturb a marine mammal by disrupting its natural behavioral patterns.

SPEAKER_03 33:35

What do you feel about that? Doesn't they make you want to talk to them?

SPEAKER_00 33:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:39

Right? I know what they're saying. The ones at SeaWorld are saying why we want the Yin Yang twins next week.

SPEAKER_01 33:47

Didn't they perform there?

SPEAKER_03 33:50

Dude, who was there last this past week was Baby Bash? I was like, hey, I'd go see Baby Bash to listen and watch some dolphins do some backflips, you know.

SPEAKER_00 33:58

Did you know that they were doing that?

SPEAKER_03 34:00

Who? Uh at uh did you know they have live performances there now? The yin yang twins?

SPEAKER_00 34:05

Yeah, really? And baby bash, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:08

And baby bash, they're doing they Waka Flacca, Yin Yang Twins, Baby Bash, Soldier Boy, Nelly.

SPEAKER_00 34:17

I didn't know that many people are.

SPEAKER_03 34:19

I promise you. Look up SeaWorld's concert list, and there's gonna be too. I mean, they look horrible. The Yin Yang twins look bad. You know, just I mean, I would order them for like a wedding, but that's about it.

SPEAKER_04 34:30

That was the time, dude.

SPEAKER_00 34:31

That was what if the dolphins like like RB and Rap and they're making them.

SPEAKER_03 34:39

There's something behind them just pulling up. There's that's that makes no sense. Why aren't they pulling up to Not Berry Farm? That's sure. No, Ratchet That Place would get. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:50

Oh look.

SPEAKER_04 34:52

They're going crazy. And the is that where the dolphins are are held? I'm not sure, honestly.

SPEAKER_00 34:59

Yeah, I think they make them do tricks right here in the front.

SPEAKER_03 35:02

I think they honestly might be for real. I'm not joking about that.

SPEAKER_00 35:08

What the heck?

SPEAKER_04 35:10

That's actually not that bad.

SPEAKER_00 35:12

40 bucks for a ticket isn't really Yeah, they have to because look at that launch pad right there in the middle is probably where the trainer like does tricks and shit with the alright. I I gotta go see this. Let's go see Orcas. I've never been to SeaWorld.

SPEAKER_04 35:31

Oh, so you do a day key day ticket and then you have to buy an additional ticket.

SPEAKER_03 35:36

Next coming out to SeaWorld, Los Bokies.

SPEAKER_00 35:40

I imagine Ramona Yala.

SPEAKER_04 35:43

He's on a dolphin.

SPEAKER_00 35:44

Hey, Ramona Yala is in in hot water right now. Or his son is.

SPEAKER_04 35:48

Is he really? Why?

SPEAKER_00 35:49

Yeah, because they came out with allegations of his son inappropriately with uh with some of the band with some of his band people.

SPEAKER_04 35:58

Uh-huh. Whoa.

SPEAKER_00 36:00

And then they showed a video. Yeah, and then they showed a video, the guy that's like, like, that came out to say like I had been assaulted by Ramona Yala Jr. Um, he gave as evidence, like video. I guess he was taking videos of stuff, and then the guy, I didn't mean to laugh, I'm sorry. But Ramona Yala Jr., I guess at some point, like is taking a dump, and then he like wipes himself with toilet paper and he opens the door to like the restroom and he starts throwing it at like like the band guys.

SPEAKER_03 36:31

That's grimy.

SPEAKER_00 36:32

Yeah, so they're saying, like, not only is he accusing him of like sexual sexual, but also like just like misconduct in general and the way that he like that's gross treats.

SPEAKER_03 36:42

It's assault, honestly. Yeah, it is. I mean, to even throw your urine at someone or like you know, that's assault.

SPEAKER_04 36:48

If he spit at somebody, it's assault. Yeah. So that's that's wild. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 36:53

But you're like, why?

SPEAKER_04 36:54

Why what?

SPEAKER_00 36:55

Why would you do that?

SPEAKER_04 36:58

I look, I can see maybe maybe he tried to make a pass at him and he didn't like it. Right?

SPEAKER_00 37:04

Yeah, so the guy says uh that the that Ramonayella Jr.

SPEAKER_04 37:08

was trying to make passes at him, like you know, so there's I think there's two things going on, though maybe passes at him, and then also you know dudes. You're not dudes.

SPEAKER_00 37:17

Yeah, but come on, to fling your caca paper.

SPEAKER_04 37:20

But I that's what I'm saying. That's such a that's such a rock and roll thing to do. You know what I mean? Like you're you are you guys are hanging out, you guys are on tour, you guys are messing around, you're just hanging out with the dudes, you you do some weird stuff like that.

SPEAKER_03 37:35

You're drunk, right? There's alcohol, there's drugs, whatever's involved, because you they're definitely not living a sober life on tour. Right. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 37:43

Guys, you guys are not you guys, but guys are No, I'm but you know what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 37:47

I know what you're saying, and I'm we don't doubt it, is what we're saying. Yeah, yeah, and and he probably did something that he didn't like, and now he was like, Oh, now I'm gonna go and and yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:56

So the guy says the guy says that he told him, like, oh, why don't you quit? Why don't you quit? Like, yeah, you're not gonna quit because you're working for your idol. Because the guy says that Ramwaniyala was his idol, so he's like, I work so hard to get to where I'm at to where I'm at and be in his band. He's like, so his son knew like how much I wanted this, so he just kept like hold on a name. Oh, then he's just being a jerk then. Yeah, and he's a jerk.

SPEAKER_03 38:19

Yeah, he's just being a jerk. Yeah, and then to be honest, we think about like let me not let me not make amends with this guy. Let me take a dump, wipe my ass, and then throw it at him. Yeah, yeah. That's like that's that's that's pretty bad, dog. Yeah, I wouldn't do that.

SPEAKER_00 38:35

You know, yeah, that's gross.

SPEAKER_03 38:37

I even think someone throwing a drink at someone is terrible. Like that.

SPEAKER_00 38:40

Yeah, it's disrespectful.

SPEAKER_03 38:41

So, like, I think I'd rather get I don't know, would you rather get spit on or like someone like at you or like a drink thrown at you? I've I've had both.

SPEAKER_01 38:52

And which one did you like for? Which one was your favorite?

SPEAKER_04 38:56

I'd rather the drink. The spit grossed me out. Right, hit your lip.

SPEAKER_03 39:01

It hit my face. Oh, yeah. Anywhere in your face, I'd just gross you.

SPEAKER_04 39:05

I was like, anywhere on you. I was gagging. I the and then the the dude that had the audacity to to do that to me. Like he was telling everybody I was crying. I was like, no, I wasn't crying. I was getting the loogie out of my eye. I was getting a loogie out of my eye, and I was like, oh, it's it's making me.

SPEAKER_03 39:23

Oh. So then you'd rather take the drink for sure then. Oh, yeah. Drink one of the eye. Who was it a drink? What was it? A beer?

SPEAKER_04 39:29

A show. It was like a soda or whatever. It wasn't it wasn't crazy. Oh, well, we gotta know why these stories. I've had random stuff thrown at me. My own clothes, my own underwear.

SPEAKER_00 39:42

Remember that time that that guy um punched you when you were you try to kick him out. I think it was a homeless guy. You were still working at the fair.

SPEAKER_04 39:50

Oh, yeah, I remember that. I got I got punched out by a homeless dude trying to kick him out of a bar because I used to be a bar manager. No way. We were closing down, and it was an outside like an outside like trailer bar type of thing. And we're doing an event, and I was closing down the bar, and he was just hanging out, and I told him I was like, Alright, dude, you gotta go now. He was trying to talk to the bartender. Yeah. And I told him I was like, Okay, well, we're closing, you you gotta go now, like leave. And then he's like, Okay, and then he walks away, like pretending that he's gonna leave, and then I'm bending down to go like put some cups away, and as I'm coming up, like he swung at me. Like he barely like hit you, he he barely hit me, but it was enough to like oh yeah, like call security because I I don't know. Do you don't know these crazy people what they have now? Like he could add a gun, he could add a knife, he could add something, dude. You should have just been like, here, take her.

SPEAKER_03 40:47

It was Pomona, yeah. Alright, if it's not that serious, here take her.

SPEAKER_04 40:52

It was Pomona, dude. It was crazy, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:55

Yeah, that's where I live. It's it's bad. Yeah, that's yeah, I know for a fact that's bad. It's alright. I like Pomona. Yeah, Pomona's it's a good uh veterinaria. You know what I mean? Veterinaria, veteran, like there's a lot of vets there, I feel like. Oh, I see what you're saying. Like it's an older crowd hangout, I feel like when you're in Pomona downtown. There's like one little spot with like the youngins and the perverts, and then like you have like the the you know, just the homies. Yeah, you know, the ones I've been there, the ratchets. I like ratchets, you know, they're they're fun to look at. You know, not like when they're like I like ratchets because they act like they don't have a like a job to go to the next day. And they probably don't, but we're like, you know, they just show it though. Like, I don't have to go to work, please get down from the table, you know. But hey, those would keep the world going around because it would be boring too if like you didn't say any action, but you see like one person like doing what they're not supposed to be doing, basically, you're kind of like hey, I like it.

SPEAKER_04 41:56

I I like the fact that Amber, like the night before last night, like two days ago, Amber witnessed somebody almost getting like like pulling out a gun on somebody, and then the next evening she was like, Can you go walk and go get me ice cream?

SPEAKER_03 42:12

It was in the neighborhood.

SPEAKER_04 42:14

I just thought about that. As I was walking to Baskin Robbins, couldn't even go to Baskin Robbins. I was gonna say I was going to I was going to Baskin Robbins and I was like, wait, hold on. Somebody almost somebody almost got shot.

SPEAKER_00 42:25

Like weren't from here.

SPEAKER_04 42:28

What do you mean they weren't from here? Where are you from?

SPEAKER_00 42:32

No, I did yell from my window, and then after I was like, they're gonna be like, who the fuck is yelling? Oh man, how I was I was eating dinner. Well, I wasn't eating dinner, I was eating a snack in the kitchen, he was gone, and then I heard my second dinner. I heard that's all I was gonna do. You describe it, scribe it out, and I heard like you know, like like noise. So we live on the second story, and then our window is like this giant window, and it leads out to like street view, so I was like, what the heck? And I like ran to my window, and as I run to my window, I see um like a truck and then uh a motocross bike, and then this guy, and he's like like walking away, and he had a helmet and backpack, and he was like, It's not me, it's not me, you have the wrong guy. That was crazy. He's like, It's not me. And then one of the guys from the truck gets off, and then he like take I didn't see the gun. Right, right. But I mean, come on, what are you taking out of your pants? Right, or unless he was like trying to scare him or something. So then that's what I seen was the movement, and then the guy that was running was like, Don't shoot me, don't shoot me. And my instinct was like, Hey, like you know, because I'm like seeing someone in distress. So for me, it was like like ah and then after I was like, Oh, shoot, and then I almost shoot her. And then yeah, crouched down. She's closer. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 44:03

So I was like, I was only helping you. Let's go.

SPEAKER_00 44:09

I'm calling 911 on my couch. Like, but the guys took off, and then I didn't know. So like the whole night, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 44:15

I'm an empath, so I I think of these things like and then I just just think except if she wants ice cream and then she's I didn't think about that.

SPEAKER_00 44:22

I'm sorry. Um in the wild. But yeah, so I don't I don't know what happened to the guy. I don't know what happened to the other guys. I don't know what the whole thing was. And that's kind of what's sad about like the world is crazy. But that's what's sad about our society now is that like we can't even we don't even want to like it sounds bad, but we don't want to help other people because we're scared of your own life repercussions and your own life. And it's like, what do you do? Like, do you step in and help someone and then that causes your life, or do you just watch someone like have something bad happen to them, but you say like it's one of those things that I'm just like, yeah, well, what happens? Like, like there, I could have been like, Hey, like I rock and saw you or something, you know, I don't know what I was gonna do. But right when I reacted, and then I thought, oh shoot, like they could see me and they know where I live. Like, then that happened, and then I told him, and he was like, Why did you say anything? Like, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04 45:22

Look, I know it's illegal to talk to them, but I think whatever the dolphins are doing, there's no dolphins pulling up guns on each other. No, they're not doing anything. Dolphins they're pretty peaceful. We need to talk to them and ask them.

SPEAKER_00 45:35

No, they're not dolphins.

SPEAKER_04 45:37

Um dolphins might be a little sneakier than you think. They're okay, they're a little bit horny, but they're they're fine. Yeah, that's what I heard too. It's like I don't know. I'd rather be I'd rather be that than have a gun pulled on me. No, 100%.

unknown 45:51

No.

SPEAKER_03 45:52

What if dolphins want to be raped?

SPEAKER_00 45:55

I mean, it could be something like within their species.

SPEAKER_03 45:59

Oh. They're like, oh, you guys call it rapier?

SPEAKER_00 46:02

Oh shit. We're just procreating it.

SPEAKER_03 46:04

We were just that's how we do it.

SPEAKER_04 46:06

We do the deed. Yeah. Yeah. That's how we do it.

SPEAKER_00 46:08

Yeah, maybe uh, and maybe you're right. I mean, it's it's animalistic, and we're putting uh humanly labels on it. Um but yeah, they're kind of scary.

SPEAKER_04 46:18

Okay, aside from that. Aside from that, they're they're pretty uh they're pretty peaceful, right? Besides all that.

SPEAKER_02 46:29

I'm trying to go to Seaborts too.

SPEAKER_04 46:35

Hey, 40 40 bucks to go see the Yin Yang twins? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 46:38

And a dolphin twins. No, they do, dude. That's the next fair spot, dude. Everyone's just gonna pull up to the SeaWorld.

SPEAKER_04 46:45

Oh, that's I don't know who who Bill Cosby's uh lawyer was, but they need uh they need to uh represent dolphins too. Yeah, he's gonna say that. He's gonna be like, you know what, Your Honor? It's not that bad. They're not pulling guns on them. No, I don't know, dude. Did you watch the roast? I did of uh Kevin Hart. What did you think? I thought it was good. You watched the whole thing? It was three hours. Yeah, it was wild for a roast.

SPEAKER_03 47:11

I took it was two days I did it. Oh yeah? Yeah. I thought it was um to me. I think it's good. I for sure know there's like boundaries, and you can feel like, you know, what shots are being taken. Like you just feel them. Um to me as a comic, I feel like if you're gonna do it, like you gotta write it well. You get me? Like, there has to be a reason why they're feeling some type of way, which is comedy in general. You know, we feel some type of way about something, we're gonna go on stage and say it. And I think those are a little personal. Um because they knew they knew shit about each other, but I'm like, it's like it's like talking to your homies and like you know everyone in the game, and it's like I've been around these guys for the past 10 plus years. So for me not to say anything, or or me like take a backspan of like, oh, I shouldn't say this, I think it would be a dishonor in comedy.

SPEAKER_04 48:07

Right. I I think what do you think about this? But about so I who was doing this? Uh Shane was doing this like from because I didn't watch all of it. I wanna I watched all the way up until like Regina Hall, and then after that, I was like, okay, I gotta I'm gonna put on the shelf for a little bit and then I'll come back. But Shane was when a joke didn't hit very well with the audience, or uh it just didn't come out right, he would immediately say, I don't know who wrote that, or he would he would bring up like um he would bring up about like the writing or who wrote it and showed it to to kind of like brush off the joke. I I kind of didn't like that because one he he broke, I guess he broke the fourth one in a sense, and then also two uh Amber's mom was talking about it, and she's not a comic, she she's just like a spectator, she's a person that's watching it, and she was like, Oh, kind of it it took the fun out of watching the show because they were saying, Oh, like because when you're an audience member, you're watching the comic saying the jokes in like thinking that they're doing the writing, that they're that that that's their joke, right? That that's their voice. Once you start breaking that, right, once they you start breaking that, it it just I feel like it it it takes out the fun in yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:42

I think there's I I feel like what you're saying, definitely. There was some dead spots in there where it was just like like what do we how do we react? Yeah, you know what I mean? Like he was like, like you said, kind of kind of even convincing us that it was a good joke and it's just us that don't get it because we're dumb. Yeah, you know, and that's that's fine to think like that, but it's also like you can tell, like maybe was he was he not prepared? Maybe he was trying to like, I got this, I can rig it. Um he gives me that energy, I'm not gonna lie. A lot of like I can I can rift this. Yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_04 50:16

I also like too that who who was it? There was there was a few people on the roast panel that they were reading the teleprompter that probably didn't see the jokes. And the can't see that part. Well, yeah, that and the they didn't go over the material before they got on stage to read to read the teleprompter. Yeah. And it was a first time them seeing it, and they were laughing like as they're reading. Yeah. I thought that was that was that was great. It's like those moments on SNL when uh because Michael Loren, when he writes you could tell Saturday Night Live, or when he produces Saturday night Saturday Night Life, he doesn't like them breaking character or or uh breaking during the scene. And people are like Yeah, it's also it's almost like funnier them not breaking, yeah, breaking and trying not to laugh.

SPEAKER_03 51:10

Yeah, when they're too serious and we're like they're expecting it, it's almost like it's our job to carry the laugh. Yeah, but sometimes if the comic is saying it, it's almost like they're already convincing us because they're laughing at it and we're listening to them. So I think they're whatever they're thinking is gonna be funny, yeah. But I think the rose was good. I think we need those. Um because it just I think those are gonna be around for a long time, like how they have been already. I mean, I just hope Jeff Frost is like the next one. He was great, he was the he was the best. He's fucking murdered, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 51:46

I think like I was telling my mom today, uh when we're having the conversation about the the roast, and I was telling her, I was like, I really liked how like like him, even Chelsea Handler, and then the other lady, what was her name, the one with the afro. Um but you know who I'm talking about, right? Um, I feel like I really enjoyed like not everything was like I wasn't like oh like slapping my leg, you know, like right.

SPEAKER_03 52:12

You're kind of dissecting everything with the thing.

SPEAKER_00 52:14

But I think their roast was like one, it was funny, and then it was like also tasteful, and it was kind of like that old school, you know, like not family, but like in the sense of like it they were roasting him, but still making the joke with it, right? Where I felt like like even like some of like the the younger comics, right? I just felt like they were just throwing out like just pure like insults, like it wasn't even.

SPEAKER_03 52:40

That's what I'll say, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 52:41

It it I don't know that just that's how it felt for me, like with Jeff, Jeff Ross, right? Yeah, like we laughed almost his entire thing, like it was just so funny. And I've seen him in other roasts, and he does the same thing. And this one to me, I just felt was very performative, yeah. And I think the whole like them reading off the teleprompter, you could tell that they were reading like word by word, like straight into the camera, and I just felt like it wasn't as like it was too much of a show, too, like a performance, yeah, versus like a real shooting the shit roast that used to be like the ones that used to come out on Comedy Central when they first started.

SPEAKER_03 53:22

That's how they were, and they were all comics during that time, to be honest. So it was like when they start bringing up little celebrities that I'm like, bro, Tom Brady, Draymond Green, like I'm like, bro, Lizzo, like I'm not even I'm not I don't hate to say this, but I'm gonna say it, but just like stay in your lanes, like you know what I mean? Like, just let the comics that have been doing this for a while, because there are so many comics left out that could have roasted the shit out of Kevin Hart that we would have liked to see. We didn't see Dave Chappelle, you know what I mean? We didn't see um Aerie Spears, we didn't see like just other black comedians that were, I feel like, could have been up there that like, bro, even bring out Chris Tucker, who cares? You know what I mean? Like, these are guys that are still in comedy. Chris Rock wasn't there. Like, I'm just like, these guys are he was even on his show and he wasn't there. What'd you think of the funniest fuck contest? What'd you think?

SPEAKER_04 54:14

I don't think I watched that. Oh no, check it out. That's the the competition on that. Check it out, check it out. Got it. Yeah, I didn't, I haven't I haven't seen it. We'll come back to that one. Is it good? Yeah, yeah, you guys gotta watch it.

SPEAKER_03 54:28

Yeah, it's good, it's good, very inspiring. Very, very inspiring for sure. I was very inspired to write a lot more for that, and just like how I'm navigating the jokes now. Uh-huh. I think that was very, very inspiring. Because I'm like, damn, these are like good ones. Like they're writing like, and then you just like when you're dissecting them, you're like, oh, okay, how did he get there? You know, why did he bring up this point?

SPEAKER_04 54:52

Do you so did you start writing sketches first before you got into stand-up, or was it stand-up first and then you started doing sketches?

SPEAKER_03 55:01

Yeah, I started doing stand-up first for a good like year and a half. And then I was realizing like no one supports your comedy, so you gotta go get your audience. So then I started working backwards and just started doing sketches, and then I was like balancing now. Next year I told myself, like, it's straight gonna be a lot of comedy videos. Oh really? Yeah, what do you mean? Like, I need to like put my stage performance because I do hit stages, I do hit shows, you know, I'm on shows, but it's like I'm very bad with recording myself with shows. Got it, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:33

That's where I'm at. That was one of my I have a list of stuff that I want to do and I need to do, and one of them was uh film more of my sets and and uh post more clips. Good because I uh on the the podcast, like I I I do clips like every day, and but I feel like I didn't have enough uh of my stand-up on there, right? But also obviously like I wanted it to look good too, so I just took more time and and did that. And uh with that, that means I have to get booked more, right? I have to get booked more, I have to write new material. It forced me to so that that on my list, filming my sets and clipping more forced me to go out and go get more shows and write more and uh film more of like the new material that I had. Yeah, domino effect that it had on you.

SPEAKER_03 56:35

That's good. Yeah, real good.

SPEAKER_00 56:36

Yeah, that's how different, sorry, how different is it like doing stand-up right like upfront people than it is doing like your sketches? Or do do you think it they go hand in hand? Like is there a difference, or do you think they both lack?

SPEAKER_03 56:52

Yeah, it's way different. I would say because there's no one watching you, so you can literally say like anything, um, and you're gonna decide what you want to put up. And I think with comedy, it's very in the moment, it's very um in intermediate. And what is it? No, um intimate. You know what I mean? Like, especially when you have rooms that we do as comics at the beginner levels for us, the amateurs right now that are trying to make a career out of this, we're gonna get a lot of intimate rooms. So when you do have those intimate rooms, I think those are more strategic of like now. I have to be funny and tell them like because I feel like people want to hear about you, you know what I mean? Um, and I've seen the tons of comics that like go up and just don't really talk about themselves. And I feel like sometimes they lose the crowd because when you start to have an opinion in comedy, you start to be like, all right, people are gonna either feel one way about you, but I feel like if you're like today I missed the bus, you know, and just missing the bus is okay, I'm being late. Someone's late. That being late is in general for everyone's gonna hit someone here. You ever been late? You know, I'm glad my girl's late, you know, just and then you're going off being late. So it's like very like okay, contagious. Yeah. Where I feel like if it's like, you know, I think buses should run longer, you know. For people like me, it's like, uh, that's just that's how you feel.

SPEAKER_00 58:14

Yeah. You know, it's your own opinion.

SPEAKER_03 58:17

Right. I found like, because I was going off like stories and times that like I've been like hanging out with chicks, and like, you know, I didn't know how to describe my comedy that like things that happened to me, obviously there were funny you know, stories that happened to me, but it wasn't funny to anyone else because it was was very personal, as in like uh this is what I think should have happened. But I think in general, yeah, it's very different, very different with comedy and doing sketches. I like doing both though. Yeah, yeah, I love both. If I had to choose, I'd rather go do a show though.

SPEAKER_04 58:49

Out of filming, uh filming a skate or something. Yeah. Yeah, I uh I don't know. I've so I right now since I'm in this weird like cinephile mood watching a lot I've been watching so much like movies and and most of the because I listen to a lot of audiobooks and I read a lot of books, and most of the books that I've read or l have listened to were obviously they were comics, but they were more screenwriters than anything. Wow. So I I just realized this, I want to say like last week. Cause I like writing. I like writing, you know, short stories. Uh my number one is jokes. I love I love writing jokes. Second are uh, you know, like prose writing. Prose writing is just like like narrative writing, like writing a novel, like a short story. Yeah. But I figured out that like script writing, like writing for a movie, is completely different than writing like prose, yeah. Which is more narrative writing. Right. So this past I want to say like this past week, two weeks, I've been getting into a lot of uh like screenwriting. Wow. Yeah, good. So I I don't know what I gotta produce anything. I do want I do want to write a script. Good. I do want to write a script, but I'm at the level where I need to know, I need to know, I know how to do a story. Yeah, I I can I can tell a story, but to tell a story in the format of like a script that professionals actually read, understand, actors read, cast reads, crew, crews read, like I want to write to that extent of writing a script.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:44

Yeah, good. No, you should. Honestly, y'all gotta start somewhere. You know, when I write when I do these skits and I have like six people in them, literally I tell them I write everything for everyone, um, what to wear, what to do, what to say, how to act, um, just so I can feel like this is like it is personal because it is my my my video, but I want it to be in general fun for everyone. Like I'll ask them, like, this is this the idea. Do you think you want to be a part of it? Like, what do you think of this idea? And I'll be like, yeah, no, yes, no. So anyone that comes in. Do you get nose? Um, yeah. I've gotten nose a couple times. Um, just like, nah, I don't think that's a good one, but it's you know, it never hurts me.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:26

Like your the the sketch is it? The sketch or just the character that they're playing in in this in the sketch?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:35

Uh there could be both, too, right? Right, right. Yeah, no, I think it's the uh the character they're playing. Oh, okay. Yeah, they're not liking it. And I'm like, oh that's fine. I'll try to find someone that you know could fit it. Um but mostly everything, like I have to write it out. I have to, you know, what's crazy is like before I do almost every sketch, I have to see it done in my head before I produce it, or else it won't be done. Oh, yeah, of course. So but that I feel like that's kind of almost like you're yeah, of course you're working backwards in a sense to get it. Wait, hold on, say that again. You need to see what? So I need to see it done in my head before I produce it, like in real life.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:12

So you're creating like, in a sense, like the movie already in your head. Right.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:16

So like when I did like the Goodfellows one, uh-huh, and I was doing it like, okay, I had to do a scene that everyone knows, and then I had to do a scene where it's like okay, I have to do this way. I have to do a certain scene where it's like I can't do it can't be too long, right? Because our attention span is very short. So the attention grabber was the the the nostalgia of that clip. So when I was putting it together, I was like, okay, we'll we'll have everyone say something, like how they saying, like, hey, that was Tony back in the day, you know, Joni Tony two times he used to say, you know, all those times. I was getting little pieces from them and saying, okay, we don't have to literally say what they say, because I don't want to copyright or anything. I kind of want to get it off with like Latinos also, but also Italians. So when I was doing it, I was thinking, okay, I have to say something that's very, very like stereotype for Mexicans to in order to like go ahead and um make it very uh relatable. Right, exactly, relatable. So when I did it like as tortas, it was relatable because of what things I was saying in there. So I think before I even did it all, I was already it was already done while we were doing it. You know what I mean? Um, so sometimes when people are like they think I'm mean, like some people will be like, oh you're mean, like I'm like when we're filming it. I'm like, I'm not mean, I'm just like stern. I know what I know what I need because it's already done. You know what I mean? Because like when we get there, you'll have be, I trust me, everyone knows I will take your you know, idea or opinion, whatever. Like if you're like, ah, what is about this? I won't be like, nah, that's stupid. I'll be like, oh, okay, yeah, let's think about that. You know, how we can imply it. Um, most of the time, it's like 50-50. Sometimes I'll use it, sometimes I won't. But at the same time, like I'll be I'll explain to them like, nah, I kind of see it like this because it's already done a certain way and it'll be make more sense this way. Plus, in general, I'm editing it. So it's like you're not gonna be there when I edit it. Right. Does that make sense? You know what I mean? So you kind of just have to let me like ride the wave.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:24

Um so nothing is like on the fly, it's everything you already predetermined what they're gonna look like, what they're gonna say, what the way that it's gonna go. So you you structured it all before that day. Right. Instead of just like an idea and then you getting there and like exactly.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:41

They think it's on the fly. Um, sometimes the wording is on the fly because I've crammed so much into it, and I'm like, I'm at like towards the end of the skit, and I'm like, I don't know, like I lost it. Like I'm like, oh shit, like hold on, hold on, hold on. And then like they're throwing stuff at me. I'm like, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm like, okay, what about this? And like I'll start throwing things out, like riffing. Doom, doom, doom. And they're like, yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no. I'm like, okay, what about this one? And they're like, okay, this one. So we'll all agree on it. And I think that's what they like to, you know, to feel a counter because I'm like, I don't wanna because you're playing the character, and I'm gonna give you the dialogue, but I don't want you to feel like I'm taking shots at you. It's just a character I see you playing, and if like you live it, then you could like it'll be funny, it's all funny, you know what I mean? So even when I do like, um, we have one of my girls shout out to our shout out to Marguini, love you. Um, she was like, at first, she was like, I don't really know because it's like it's kind of offensive to me. And I'm like, I was like, You got you're looking at it the wrong way, you gotta look at it like you're the front line for these people.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:40

You're representing them.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:41

Yes, you are representing them because there's been so many comments with these torta videos that have been like, damn girl, I feel great about my body now. Like they're loving it, and that's what I want. You know what I mean? Someone to feel good about themselves. And I think with doing the opposite and a girl actually. Being in that position where other girls feel like and her representing and being like, nah, it's just chill out. It's just a joke. They they feel more at ease to like even joke with it. You get what I mean? So that's why I feel like a lot of racist jokes like should be played by the opposite characters of that race. Wait, hold on. What do you mean? So like I think like Hold on. What did clarify that?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:23

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_03 1:06:24

So like I think like a lot of like skits like that can't be done should be done by like the opposite race. So like I really think like I was simple. Okay, so I was telling my boy, um, my boy Drew. Uh Drew got jokes. Shout out to Drew Got Jokes, love you boy. Um, I was telling him about like a skit, and it was pretty stereotyped for uh for uh for you know the African Americans or the blacks, but it was like he saw it as like ah, you know, I kind of don't want to do it as like a stereotype for them because it's bashing them. And I said, I completely understand, don't get me wrong, but what if we did it the opposite way? What if I was doing it, and he was like, Oh, you know what? Nah, nah, nah, still no way. So I really think like the here's the joke. Here's the joke. The joke was uh we're gonna drive around, me and my boy Drew, he's black, I'm Latino, we're gonna drive around, we're gonna see the homies, we're gonna see someone getting jumped, and it's a it's it's a black crowd, and then we're gonna be like, ah, expect it, but both laugh at it, right? And then we see someone rubbing a bank, ah, expect it. We both laugh at it, boom, boom, boom. And we're just laughing, and we're just like, dang, man, why are we seeing all the stereotypes today? And it was more like, all right, so I just feel like I'm I'm part of you now. I get to say the n-word, no? And he's like, nah, still no. And I think it sounds very bad right now, as I'm speaking. But I swear there was like a funniness to it, and I probably thought it when I was like, you know, kind of high, but you know, I I swear, like I swear there was something in it. He knew what I was trying to get at, but I I respect his decision for sure. I'll never be like, nah, like you're whack for not doing it. I was like, no, I get you, bro. Like, of course, we want to keep the culture like positive, of course. Like that's all I'm about too. But sometimes when I feel like you're you're bashing the culture, it's almost like a push to them to funniness. That's how I feel, you know.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:09

Yeah, I think with um I think just from from my uh my understanding and just the m as as a viewer, yeah. It it's like let's let's say let's just take it since we're both Latino, right? We're all Latino, the Latino culture in in sketches, and most of them are like about cholos, like cholos, tortas, and I don't know, right. Cholos, let's say because that's all we know. That that's that's that's what it is. And there's there's that, but I feel like there's more stuff that we can we can pull out of the culture rather than than the stereotype. Right. And it's not even just the like sketches. I think that there's more like it just happens in just in film in general, like in cinema. Like we're always casted as the gangster, we're always casted as a cholo world, casted as a prisoner, we're always casted as as uh some you know. Yeah, it's either that or we're like some we're casted as a Chicano uh instructor, you know what I mean? Yeah, so I it just there's difference.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:24

Well, what about homeboy that always plays Edgar in every yeah, exactly? That's that's what like they're like looking at his roles, Bruce Almighty, Edgar. Uh this other movie, Fast and Furious, Edgar. Oh, Hector. Hector and I'm like, damn. Yeah. Hey, he made a name for himself of it though.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:41

Look, I think this is my opinion. I think like like a lot of content on cholos and like things like that, like that's what right now where we're at, that's what people want to do. That's the audience, exactly. That's our audience, that's what we want to see, that's what is like popping, you know, popping, and and of course, as you as a creator, you have to go where where it goes, right? But I think what Gil's saying is like this happened to us, and I'll I'll hurry up because I know we're wrapping it up, but this happened to us where we um we joined this like community, right? And it was a f uh film community, film community, and no shade to them, we love them, like everything, right? But it's it we went and everything that was there that was like like being presented, we were like, okay, okay, okay, questioning it. We knew because that's all we know on film and on things that we see, but for Gil and I, like we are, yes, Latino, like he's Chicano, I'm first generation, but we weren't I didn't grow up with deals that were cholos. Like I didn't grow up, you know, being like a like a ha chido girl. Like I mean, I like to chiros, you know, but but like I was I'm the like rockera or even like you know, I like Mexican music and stuff like that. And then so we so we felt very like well our whole life isn't just low riders and like these labels, right? So that's when we started thinking, like, oh shit, like like this is what we're seeing as, you know, and and it could be either really good and it's funny, I think it's entertaining. I like to see like like I've seen your skids and I think they're funny, like I I laugh at them and I think like yeah, that's funny. Thank you, but then it also is like you know, like, okay, well, that's not me, right?

SPEAKER_04 1:11:29

Right, but I could still laugh at it, and I think that that's like But the point is to to make as an entertainer, as comedians, we're we're there to make people laugh. Yeah, to make people laugh. So it's like why trying something, I feel like why would we make something that yeah, sure, right? We're we're doing nobody's gonna understand.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:53

Yeah. And it's true, it's it's but I would I would like to see I would like to see something that like I could be like, oh yeah, that was me. Like, you know what I mean? And maybe maybe that's a sign for me to come up with it or somebody to come up with it, and I think that that's what the push though that that's where I was trying to get out to with that was like once we seen that, it was kind of our push to like okay, like we are part of this community, but we don't fall in this community 100%. How do we create things that are for us and this other smaller subculture of who we are, you know? And I think I think to go back on what you were saying about doing like counter things of like stereotypes, like even going into the realm of that, of like using other stereo, I guess other stereotypes or other even subcultures within our own culture, yeah, will also open up other avenues of like you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:48

Well, last thing, sorry. Oh, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:50

No, I was gonna say the the emo sketch with you and and Jay Valentino with uh Blink 182. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:56

Yeah, that's fine.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:57

That one was really good, and that touched on like a subculture that even I can be familiar with because I I love pop punk and I love Blink 182.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:06

Yeah, I was like, you know, it's like the nostalgia is a lot of things that people miss. Oh, yeah, 100%, dude. So like even with like you're like crossing over black and brown, like when I did the Fridays, the Friday went to Oh, dude, like how many views do you have on that now?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:20

I was like 1.2 mil. Wow, and then another one's like at 500. Good job. That's amazing, dude. I appreciate that. And you do the editing too? Everything, yeah, dude. Everything looks really good. Thank you, man. It looks really good. I enjoy them.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:35

Yeah, no, those ones I was like, if you see the comments, a lot of them are like, hell yeah, I like this that you guys did this. And then you have the ones that are like, you guys are always trying to copy us. And I'm like, everyone's inspired by something, Doc.
