The friend request. He said, well, thank you for the friend request.

[B]

And I was like, she winked at me, gente. She winked at. But. And it was a Puerto Rican wink. I could tell you.

[A]

But when. When. When you get off work and saw the friend request. ¿And were you like, this is the girl?

[B]

Yeah. ¿But then when I went through the pictures, I was like, Who the are these kids? Hold on. There's more. ¿How many kids you got? I was like yo. ¿What's going on? I was. I was like she looked good, but damn the kids keep ruining the photos. I'm trying to get Ashley in to buy herself in the picture. The kids are just there smiling. I'm like yo. Oh, he's fired.

[A]

But the great thing about that is that the friend request itself is a permission to approach.

[B]

That's how I felt. It's like saying, hi, my name is. That was my turn.

[C]

But that day, I just did it just to Adam. He was making fun of videos, Of course. I thought he was cute.

[B]

So I guess I wasn't. ¿I wasn't I?

[C]

No.

[B]

Yeah.

¿Yeah, where I was at. Where we.

[A]

Were at. How many followers? ¿What was your main? ¿Instagram, TikTok?

[B]

It was. I say Facebook was probably my most following. Yeah. But there wasn't like no real following on Snapchat. Snapchat was just friends. Being added, I would say I probably had about five thousand followers on Instagram and maybe, like, maybe five or six thousand on Facebook. I wasn't so.

[A]

¿Becoming creator your dream?

[B]

Nah. Comedian.

[A]

Fuck.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. The comedian was the real dream because I started comedy first. The videos that I was doing was just on my story. I wasn't like posting funny videos for that I was just posting every day in my life.

[A]

So you're. ¿You're a stand up first?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Fuck. Yeah. I did not know this.

[B]

And then I did the videos So I can get a following. So I can sell out shows. Estamos en el año 96 ahora mismo. La andena del reguerón. Acata zoom, zoom. Acata zoom, zoom. Está con su Petri moviendo el boom boom. Parece un classic de Luni Tontún. La mala vibra. Le damos punto. Then I did the videos So I can get a following. So I can sell out shows. Yeah.

[A]

Simple. Like you want to be known in order to make money at the door.

[B]

I see people being funny on videos for one minute. I'm like, Wait. I gotta be funny for a minute and people follow you. I was like, hell, yeah, I can do that. Let's do this shit. So I turn them in videos and then when I go on stage, I talk about that minute and I may talk about it for five or ten minutes. Now I can elaborate. I can explain a little bit more.

[A]

¿What comes easier to you like stage performing or creating a viral video?

[B]

I say stays performing for me because I get to really break it down. I get to practice. I get to make sure it's funny. You know, that's a preparation up there. So I know what's gonna happen. I know people gonna enjoy that videos. I gotta catch it in a moment because I don't edit videos. If you notice I literally I put my phone out. She'll say something. I just start recording.

[A]

So you don't. You don't write scripts. You don't do sketches. It's like in the moment.

[B]

Yeah, I should. Sometimes we do like skits and they do well. You know what I'm saying, Like some of them really do well. But other times I like catching it in the moment because I don't know what she's gonna say. She don't know what I'm gonna say. And it's like to me. That's like so organic. It's perfect. Can't nobody. You can't make that up. Yeah, you know. So I feel like it helps me a lot.

¿You know what it's like? Relationships. Are the problem with relationships. It's that the the way it's painted, like in the media movies in movies. I don't think that love gets a fair shake because of movies. Because what movies present to us is what I felt. In sixth grade with my first. The first girl, I. That was like I would die right now for a kiss from you. But when you're twenty something, thirty something, forty something is like, yeah, I just need you to not with me and not bother me and. And apollar me, support me and be kind and be loving with my family. It's different that than the media says.

[B]

And you try to relate your relationship to the media. You ain't never gonna be happy. You ain't never gonna be happy. Ashley never come up to be like, look how happy they are. Look at this. Why we can't be chained. Never do that. Now we go through our. We handle our business and we are perfect for each other. I think other people are perfect for each other. The way they are. Do not try to relate your relationship to the media. You're gonna lose.

[A]

But it's tough because you see we and I do this. Everyone tries to portray in Instagram your best part of the day, and it's hard not to fall in the trap of God. Damn it. They have so much money or they have a. They look happier than I do even with that. I know that everyone puts their best face, but it's hard not to fall in that trap.

[B]

It's true.

[C]

Yeah. A lot of people do that. They see us doing videos laughing, laughing on the videos, having fun together. And they think we don't fight. They think we don't have regular problems or we don't go through things we do go through things we do fight. We have a normal relationship. But that doesn't mean we're not happy. ¿You know what I'm saying?

[A]

¿Can I tell you and please reply with a version of dumb fight that you guys have? This is a new conversation. Me and vetto are having. ¿I'm going bald, okay? Oh, I'm going bald.

[B]

Put my hat on.

[A]

¿And Vero and I was saying like, when this falls out, which can happen in the next five years, you're gonna.

[B]

Look like an art teacher, should I?

[A]

She was like, thank you. Art teachers are pretty.

[B]

Yeah. No. No, that's yeah. That's a good look.

[A]

That's a good look better than the history teacher. And I was like, I'm pretty you so vago. I'm pretty lazy. So I doubt that I'm gonna be able to shave my whole head every week or every other day. I don't even know with how much consistency I will have to. So I'm gonna probably rock my baldness with hair on the sides.

[B]

Get a kango hat.

[C]

¿Are you getting lazy?

[B]

A kango hat. Laser, you can't give him the turn.

[C]

Because I hear them grow back.

[A]

Oh, Laser, my whole head.

[B]

She don't.

[A]

I become a superhero.

[B]

Yeah, she don't. Don't listen to everything. She said, she gonna throw shit at you. It's up to you to catch it or not.

[A]

Laser my whole head.

[B]

I say, get a kango hat. ¿Okay? A kango hat. One of them little hats, like a fedora. Just like that. Because your hair will still be blessed on the side. And people will think you have hair at the top. Just don't take the kango off. That's up to you. ¿What?

[A]

¿What do should I Is this what? ¿I should rock?

[B]

You can weigh her to the front. That's a little too much. That's a little too much. That's a little too much. ¿How about a fedora? That's what you need. Art teacher.

[A]

Imagínense a mí aquí. Este soy yo. Oh, mira, puedo ponerme una fedora. Pon la otra computadora. Maybe. ¿What do you think about this?

[B]

Oh, shit. You on a whole nother level, brother. Okay, path of your own.

[A]

Let's talk about. Oh, so tell me about a dumb. So, now, in resumida cuenta, she wants me to shave my whole head. And I'm like, I won't. I know I won't.

[B]

Still got hair, brother. So, hang in. Hang in there. I say, a couple more years.

[A]

Enjoy it while it lasts.

[B]

Enjoy the hell out of it. I said, you got a good, solid three, four years of hair, bro.

[A]

One more tour.

[C]

What I would say, a dumb thing that we fight about like that related to. That is him going to the gym.

[B]

That is mad dumb. That is. That is mad dumb.

[C]

You don't want him to go to the gym. I want him to go to the gym, but he doesn't like it.

[B]

¿All right? We ain't gonna say I don't like it. I'm not interested. I'm not intrigued. I said that right. I don't care about the gym. Let me say. Let me explain something. I got. I got. I got five kids. They run around like crazy. That's my exercise. I'm picking them up. I'm changing diapers. That's my. That's my pull up. That's my curls me going to the gym, it's hard. I'm not interested in lifting weights. And every time I go bro, I look like a. I don't like that chant. I don't like it. ¿I go in there and I'm pumping like little like this, right? And I see a guy behind me yelling. Ah, and then throwing down. I get nervous. Yeah. I don't like being in that area. Yeah.

[A]

¿What'S your stance on great looking comedians? It's harder to be successful when you're good looking. That's my personal opinion.

[B]

I'm pretty good looking. And I'm. You know, there are.

[A]

There are some examples. Matt Rife. Nick Cannon. Yep, that's it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Chris Rock is not. No, Chris Rock has some weird going on his hands, that's.

[B]

Yeah. That's how he talks. Yeah. Eddie Murphy.

[A]

Oh, Eddie Murphy. Not Chris Rocket. Come on. Oh, Chris Rocket.

[B]

Just saying he is ugly as balls.

[A]

Yeah, Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Yo y' all crazy in Puerto Rico. Y' all put together. I never thought. I never heard somebody say that he's ugly as balls.

[A]

He's ugly as balls. But hey, Eddie Murphy one.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Eddie Murphy. The wayans brothers are all good looking. Yo, Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey's good looking.

[B]

It's a couple. It's a couple, you know, decent looking comedians out there.

[A]

But the heroes are the ugly ones. Are the ugly ones. Yeah. Jim carries like balls. Tafel con cojone. Your dimples. ¿Do you have dimples?

[B]

I wish Ashley got dimples.

[A]

¿Dimples Don't look great on men, Do you think so? Yeah, it looks.

[C]

It depends.

[A]

You look like home dispenser.

[B]

My boys got dimples. All three of my boys.

[A]

Yeah. I love them. I love them.

[B]

I can't wait to tell them the.

[A]

Truth when I get the dollar come dispenser.

[B]

I just found out dimples. Don't look good on. Y' all stop smiling around me when we go somewhere Smirk. Don't you fucking smile.

[A]

You know what also doesn't you have a travolta Chin.

[B]

The Toto Chin. Yeah, that's a Toto for sure.

[A]

This is the goat.

[B]

Yeah. Virtue Fire. Yeah.

[A]

¿What are your influences?

[B]

Me. I started doing comedy. Kevin Hart. Definitely my number one, obviously. I got the Arnaz Arnez. J. I love Arnaz J. Sebastian Mana Scalco. That's another comedian. I love Italian Dude. I think he's phenomenal.

[A]

He's a great example of a guy who's not huge on on insta on like, social media sells out coliseums like.

[B]

Joe Coyote, all them. Yeah, they're like, they're amazing. I love those dudes, bro. Like they're freaking. I love their type of comedy. I love Sebastian, obviously, his comedy. It's very animated. And that's how I'm on stage. Like, I envy you comedians that can just go up there and tell pure jokes that to me. That's talent, bro.

[A]

I don't do that. I tell stories that the stories are.

[B]

Good, but you could. You could stand there like, I'm. I'm very. I fall if I need to. You know what I'm saying. I'm throwing myself. I gotta put a body, my body, in a certain way for me to explain things in my way to make sure people can relate to it or get the message I'm trying to put through. But comedians that could just stand there and crack jokes, man. Salute to them, bro. That junk.

[A]

Yeah, I don't. I, obviously, I have jokes on my set, but the main driver are, like personal stories. My routine is changing, like, right now, I remember last tour I did before the coronavirus, I was like, I am done with so overly sexual routines. I was like, I had an hour show and twenty minutes was like, And I was and come was squirting out of my fingering my asshole. But like, having.

[B]

We should. Whoa, we should have held that one back real quick. We should.

[A]

¿You know what? Now I am a dad.

[B]

Hold on. We can't just go past that speaking about sport.

[A]

I'm a dad and I'm a wholesome comedian.

[B]

Yo, you said that and just wanted to continue talking. No, we can't do that. We can't just.

[A]

Yeah, that escalated so fast, freezing my turds, fingering my know wholesome stuff.

[B]

Wholesome. Real genuine shit, bro. Oh, you're fucking out of control.

[A]

But what I meant to say is that it came on a perfect moment in my life becoming a dad and.

[B]

Like, oh, all right. Cool.

[A]

Having an adult root, stand up routine about being a dad. It's not family oriented. It's just adult conversations that happen to be funny about being a dad.

[B]

I'm glad you elaborated.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. After he's saying all these sex jokes, he's like, it came perfectly it onto my life.

[A]

I was like, thank God, because I became a dad late in life. I was your first son. Forty. I was forty. So he's two and a half right now.

[B]

That's a blessing, bro. Yeah. Figured your out then you had kids. I'm figuring my out with my kids. Good.

[A]

And you know what, during my whole adult life, I remember watching my friends become. Some of my friends become parents and judging them like, I don't think it's a great idea being a young dad. But now their kids are in college, and I'm like, I'm gonna be fucked up for the next twenty years. So it's. It's never one hundred percent. Great.

[B]

Nah. God. Don't make no mistakes. I'm about to say he'll make no mistakes. He put you in that position right there because you was ready right there. And then, brother. Yeah. Thank you. Glad you did that. Absolutely. I kind of just jumped in this. You know, we had a little different paths. Obviously she had three kids already. I had to jump in with full armor and just be ready to say no stop, no biting, eat, go to sleep. I wasn't. I was still trying to teach myself how to stop no bite and eat, go to sleep. So to teach. To try to teach kids. That is just. It's crazy to just jump into that.

[A]

So.

[B]

But she. She's a great teacher. She's been guiding me every step of the way.

[A]

But.

[B]

But.

[A]

But Queso. Carlito Queso.

[B]

¿Que? Your name. Your name is he there.

[A]

But because I've seen you on the. No, no, that's Marlon Wick.

[B]

Yeah, I know. I know. He kind of looked like me a little bit somebody. That's a compliment. I think. I hope he's not one of the ugly comedians.

[A]

One of those guys. I did not confuse you.

[B]

I'm just saying you're not here. You're not. Yeah. Show everybody fuck it. Okay.

[A]

I'm gonna be honest. When I go to a club, I always see the schedules. And I've seen you like we've done the same club. I think you did Buffalo.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Buffalo Helium.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

And philly helium as well. So I've seen you and these types of art I see regularly. And it's so cool to see fellow creators and cool people that do stuff or people. In my case it's rare. But when I see another creator that does stand up in Spanish, it's super special. ¿You know?

[B]

I think that's dope. I think that's dope.

[A]

¿What do you think about the scene? ¿Like the comedy? ¿Like, do you think you'll be a millionaire? Do you think I definitely do a special in Netflix. ¿Like what are your goals?

[B]

Yeah, I got. I got high hopes for myself. Especially because, you know, when I started comedy, everybody always said, you're gonna be broke. Your first seven to eight years doing comedy, and that's exactly what happened. I didn't have no money. So I feel like my path is exactly where it needs to be. It's going. It's getting better. I'm making more money, but I'm. I'm getting better on stage. My presence is better on stage. How I react to certain things are better. You know, my jokes are better. And that's how I feel like it's going. Well, I definitely see myself in movies with a couple specials on Netflix. I got a Hulu special coming out October third.

[A]

I saw something like who. ¿Who is like the? It's like an Umbrella project.

[B]

Yes. ¿It's under Kevin Hart, right? Yeah. LOL Network.

[A]

So Kevin Hart is one of your heroes, and he is sponsoring. He's having your next special.

[B]

Yes, sir. Biggest one hundred percent. After I did the special, I met him at his show. I got tickets. Me, my boy, Trev. Trev Houston, that I travel with and do comedy with. He got his tickets to Kevin Hart show through Naim. Naim is one of those people that Kevin Hart worked with. Naim's hilarious, by the way. I love him as a comedian. He got us to the backstage. We got to meet Kev. I got to talk to Kevin anything. It was dope art. Yeah. I was stuttering like a mother. I was nervous. That's the first time I was he there.

[A]

When you recorded your special.

[B]

I don't think so. I didn't see him. ¿No? No. Okay, Okay.

[A]

Where can we. ¿What's the name of the project?

[B]

Hulu. It's under Hulu. LOL. LOL Network. No, that's Holo. I don't know what you just. That's. I think they got Holo LOL Network. Hulu in Florida.

[A]

Holo here Y pon Pon Silva. Justin Miravelai.

[B]

Boom. Eso mismo. Claro que sí. Gracias, Patoro mimo. Yes, sir.

[A]

Wow, Cabron.

[B]

LOL live.

[A]

¿So when is this coming out?

[B]

Mine comes out October third.

[A]

So it's like, one a month.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. They're doing, like, one or two a month. So I got to shoot with him. That's the first time I met Ken Flores. Love that dude. Obviously. You know he. He passed away. Amazing comedian.

[A]

And I've heard a lot about him.

[B]

He's amazing. He's amazing. He's great. He's a. It's a big heart. That's what he has. A big heart. You know that sometimes you ever see somebody and they may not be approachable because he may not be smiling. If he not smiling, you may be like, I don't know if I'm a with him, but once he talks to you, bro, he's a Teddy bitch. But.

[A]

But Ken wasn't a smiling guy.

[B]

Ken didn't. There was a lot of times where he was just in his phone, straight face. ¿You know what I'm saying? He's just in his phone. It's like if I. If I see you and you sitting down and just. You ain't think about nothing. You just got a straight face. And if you see him like that, you kind of like, oh, but after he talked to you, bro, Ken was nothing but hearts and smiles, bro. The whole time he was. ¿You know what love that dude?

[A]

So tragic Because talking about approachability.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Because when comedians go on stage, I think my persona is pretty similar to what I am in my regular life. But I'm a serious guy, so I'm pretty serious. And I hatred is a familiar trait that I feel.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

It's tough. I don't know if I'm approachable.

[B]

It's funny. You say that because the vibes I got immediately from what I see on social media. Because she put me on with you. Okay. And what I see on social media, I'm like yo, he seems dope as hell and then meeting you as soon as you open the door. I'm not gonna lie now, not for one second. Have I felt anything you just said.

[A]

But you know what. ¿You know what's special?

[B]

Kids.

[A]

You. La gente. You're. You're. There's a. We have a nursery in the lobby and I love. And this is a new thing that I'm feeling since I became a dad. I love little children like, that's awesome. It makes me happy. And I used to say, i hate kids. That's something I said. ¿But now it's like, oh, there, do you want to drink something, do you? So I try to be accommodating to kids and the whole crew here. We're parents or. We're parents to be. This guy will be. Will become a dad very soon.

[B]

God bless you, bro. Yeah. Amen. I'm ready. I'm pumped up. Just keep mine diapers. It's never ending. Yeah, we about to go get diapers after this.

[A]

But obviously you're a guest and I would have treated you perfectly fine. And even without the kids. But generally speaking, I used to say this. I hate meaning greets. And I've stopped saying it. And I've relearned to enjoy. To enjoy it. I relearned to enjoy.

[B]

That's the moment right there. And I'm pretty sure you know that now, especially bringing it up, that meet and greet changes people's lives. You change people's lives. Not only did it get to watch you perform they get to meet you. Somebody that is iconic to them. They are. They are like you are a pinnacle moment of their life. Them meeting you and smiling and going home with that photo, with that memory, that talk with you, that changes their life.

[A]

¿You know what, Carlitos? You can jump in. And this because we talked about this yesterday, I think, or the day before that, not a lot, but at least once, every show, a person says something around life saving. Like when I was in my darkest moment, I put you guys on and laughed a little bit and forgot about my problems. So, yeah, this is kind of important.

[B]

We don't feel like we don't understand what to tell them because like that's such a big thing they're saying like I almost sue, and you guys save my life because of your content. That's. And you don't know if. Thank you enough for my thing. From my view, everything is so trivial like we just upload and we think nobody's gonna watch that and we keep recording and whatever. But then we meet these people in person, they like, no, you. You guys have been there in the darkest. And I never know how to.

[A]

How to respond.

[B]

Respond to that. Because it's that. It's. It's more than think. I don't even think about that. And, yeah, we have to be a little bit. A little bit more grateful with our audience. Yes. That's amazing that you get those messages because those are life changing, bro. The way I look at people after that is like, wow. The fact that you were going through that. I'm sorry. But the fact that you found your way out with my videos. Wow. Thank you. Thank you so much.

[A]

Huge compliment.

[B]

Oh, it's the best. It's the best compliment.

[A]

¿What were you in the video? ¿That? It's hilarious. The video we played earlier. We're kidding about the jumping off the balcony. ¿What were you going through?

[B]

¿Actually, me and me and wifey we weren't all the way together, okay? It was like, we just had split up for, like, damn near a month, you know, probably a little bit more. And I just. I was very miserable. I was drinking a lot. I was staying at a friend's house. I was in an uncomfortable situation. I was sleeping on the air matches. I wasn't happy dog. ¿You know what I'm saying? It wasn't a good feeling. I've never missed home more than ever. I've never missed kids more than ever. And it was truly draining. I wasn't happy on social media. The content I was putting out was literally because I felt like I had to not because I wanted to. And at that point, it was killing me inside to be in the situation I was in. And that's why watching that video and see how happy this little white boy is. I was like, dude, fuck you. Like, that's how I truly felt. That's how I really felt like, fuck you. I'm fucking miserable right now you are smiling about bullshit kill yourself. That should have felt that way. But that's. That's literally what I thought. So I went outside, bro. I'm like this dude, you know, just start recording. And then, Yeah, bro. And then after that, it just. The video went crazy and it put me in a little bit of. Little bit of peace. Yeah. Because it's like, all right. Somebody's finding happiness out of my misery.

[A]

Because most of the people clicking like are like, yeah, I'm that way too.

[B]

Yeah. And I'm like the fact that I can make somebody feel happy. I felt a little happy. It didn't make me escape from when I was going, I had. The reality was there at every point in my life. Like, I was still dealing with shit. But I felt a little bit of relief because somebody else was happy dog. I was like, fuck what I'm going through somebody else going through something way worse. I'm over here bitching. Thank God you can find humor out of it.

[A]

¿And what about doing show? ¿What about feeling in a dark place and doing a show?

[B]

Hardest thing I ever did was do a comedy show after we lost our child. We hadn't sorry I appreciate you. We had. We lost a child in October. And I had to go do a show in Syracuse that Friday. We lost a baby Sunday. That was the hardest thing ever by far. It's. It's. We gotta make y' all laugh and ain't shit funny. Ain't shit funny. I just wanna be my family. I just wanna be chilling. ¿You know what I'm saying? Like being up under her, making sure she's all right. Making sure the kids are all right. Cause the kids are going through it as a whole nother situation. Your wife going through it. Now the babies aren't affected by it. Now the older ones are starting to understand how life is. And now they're being a little bit more emotional towards the situation. And I gotta leave and go. Do I gotta go. I gotta go make other people laugh.

[A]

Gotta perform. I bet you did a great show.

[B]

I did. I did. I did fairly well. I did fairly well. I did fairly well, man. I didn't think I did my best performance cause my energy was wasn't where I wanted it to be. But other people had a fucking blast.

[A]

I did obviously not even compared. But my best friend, Friend and associate. And my manager passed away. And like two weeks after that, I had to continue my tour.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I think the first show was in Dallas. And I remember doubting if I was gonna be able to energy perform, but I did. Pre I can turn on the performance button. Good shit, but you know. And what I. What something that I say to myself is, he's with me. He's with me. He wants me to do. Great.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So that helps.

[B]

¿Did you get any backlash?

[A]

No, not at all. I thought that some people would say like you should have stopped the tour. Don't do this.

[B]

But I got that.

[C]

We got that.

[B]

I got that. That. That them. I'm not gonna lie. I definitely got.

[A]

I need this as well. I need this.

[C]

And then it's either. Or if I don't make the show. Yes. They're gonna talk. Yes. They're gonna be like, oh, he didn't make it to the show and I pay money and let's say, you know what I'm saying. Like it's still. They're still gonna talk.

[A]

Yeah. And this is the show.

[C]

¿How can you go and work people?

[A]

So you judging me. So you're judging. ¿Are you going through? ¿What I'm going through?

[B]

Yeah. They're like, oh, because of you left your wife at home and she needs you right now. And you all here trying to make other people laugh.

[A]

I'm like, because if you're going through the same thing, I'll listen. I'll listen if you're going through or something similar, I'll listen. If not. Who the fuck are you. ¿Who the fuck are you? You're nobody, but it's so much fun to write shit. It's so easy to hate and just.

[B]

Oh, absolutely.

[A]

I. Sometimes I believe that people writing think it's more trivial to the creator than it really is, and it hurts. I go up and down of times in my life where I read everything. Times in my life where I read nothing. And usually I'm the happiest where I read nothing.

[C]

Absolutely I agree. Yeah.

[A]

But I'm not the most successful when I'm reading everything and I'm into it and I. I wanna rock my podcast. You need to be kind of aware. That's my belief.

[B]

Yes. Updated with things. Yeah.

[C]

We read some, but not all of them. We read some just to know.

[B]

I try not to recover feedback, and that's it. I try not to. I try not to. I love to at times because you see the joy in people's comments, but I try not to read that. I'm not. I can't allow somebody to alter my.

[C]

Day with a negative one.

[B]

Can't do it, bro. Can't do it. So I'm proud of you, man. I'm proud of you. Yeah.

[A]

Thank you, sir.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

The good ones. Just read the good ones. It's hard to only read the good ones because you think good. They're like yo. ¿Like what? ¿I mean, what does that say about you? You only want to read good things about yourself. I think reading good things about yourself is equally as bad as reading bad things about yourself because then you just are overfeeding positive stuff. But you don't want any negative. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think it is.

[A]

Don't read.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Go all in or go all out.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Because it's toxic. Because I think that comedy diferentera música. This is something that separates like the music industry and the and the stand up comedy world. Is that you take bigger risks on stage as a comedian and more often than not the new thing won't work as well and it will ground you and negative comments. Ground you as well. But I can live my professional life without reading comments, but not without trying new shit on stage one hundred percent. So I think that as a comedian, you're more grounded without reading comments than a musician. I think that a musician because they get all the praise. It's insane. It is insane. All the money. That's right.

[B]

Yeah, I got. I got shit talk for the hulu. But I read everything I love like you said. It's good to read the good. It's good to read the bad. I've read everything, bro. Everything. There's people in there like yo. I can't believe you made the hulu. That's a blessing. That's dope. ¿And other people, like who the fuck are these TikTok people? Oh, I can't wait to see how shitty. These TikTok people. I was like yo. These really think I did TikTok first. They have no idea.

[A]

And anyways, if it. If it wasn't the case, who you know what I frequently get asked if I'm in a converse in. If I'm in an interview about influencers that try stand up. And I was that guy. My original dream was stand up, but my journey there was through comedy content creation.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

And a lot of people wish to want me to speak bad about creators that are trying stand up, not happening. You know what they're trying, obviously trying to make a buck. ¿And who knows if that's the original dream? And even if. ¿Even if it's not so, why did.

[C]

They still make the content? They still made the content. They still made the work.

[A]

¿I feel like, would you try it?

[C]

Stand the company. I want to try with him.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I want to do one together, but I'm nervous.

[A]

¿What'S the scene in? Are you live in Connecticut, right, so.

[B]

No, I'm from Connecticut. I live in Florida. I live in Orlando.

[A]

¿Is there a open mic scene?

[B]

Yeah. I'll be going over. Mike Seventy nine, never wifey. Well, she'll let me go. She'll stay home with the kids.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

¿How is this the comedy scene there?

[B]

Oh, this is beautiful. There's multiple open mics. Monday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Thursday. Yeah, There's this open mics throughout the week. And I be going every now and then. It's not like a regular thing, but I know whenever I want to try jokes. One of my boy cals that I work with love him. He's my opener. He's actually coming to Puerto Rico to perform. He.

[A]

Sorry, sorry.

[B]

No, you good. But I go with kale sometimes. I go with kale sometimes to the open mics, it's always fun. Sometimes people know me, sometimes they don't. I know I love when people don't know me. It's the best. It's the best when they don't know me, bro. And I'm able to just go up there and just be Justin. It's like if you laughed, I was actually funny. You ain't just laughing because you like me. Don't laugh because you like me. Laugh because this funny. So that's the best. But yes, July, tenth, julio. It's not up there. This was a. This was a pop up. This was a pop up.

[A]

[B]

I just want to let people know too. I'mma try to speak Spanish, but if I can't. Perdóname, por favor. Te quiero mucho. Yo no me entiende mucho. Parabras.

[A]

I applaud. I'm sure it's gonna be compromise. I want more English speaking comedy to come here. Chris Rock has come here, Seinfeld has come here. Louis CK is coming in November. And I think if a comedy club tried to have like a steady stream of comedians, I think if the money's right, obviously that Anglo speaking comedians could fill out three hundred seats on a weekly basis. That's what I think.

[B]

I'm scared. I'm scared as hell. Yeah. Just because I know I don't speak Spanish at all.

[A]

That's no problem. Yes, because if people click on your they understand what you're saying and people.

[C]

Be like I don't even understand him. And I'm already laughing when we meet people. They're like you don't get.

[B]

I think that's what he was saying. I think they laughing because I probably am ugly to them. They probably are laughing. You probably. Right.

[A]

Unless they saw.

[B]

Ain't no way you could just look at me and laugh unless you.

[A]

Yeah, you're hilarious. It's gotta be my face ring stealing creature. ¿You know what? Maybe the video we talked about the sui one we hadn't stopped talking about. That one has no speaking on it. None so obviously. That's a factor on its virality as well.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Have you. ¿Do you know Mister Beast?

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

He says I heard him on a podcast clip that his most viral videos don't have any speaking on him.

[B]

I don't know how that works, but it works China. They'll do it to you. ¿Everybody speak facial expressions? Yeah. ¿Everybody shout out to him?

[A]

¿Have you met him?

[B]

Never in my life. A lot of people I haven't met. I keep getting excited about Ashley got me real hyped. She got me real hip to the Spanish community because again me growing up in New Haven, Connecticut. I wasn't big into like Spanish. Like Spanish artists. Like, I knew a few songs because I had, you know, I had some friends that were Spanish and all that. So I knew a few songs. I knew a few big artists and stuff. But as she's getting me hit to like everybody now I'd be jamming to Carol G. Sometimes in the. In a car. I didn't even know I like her.

[A]

You know what I thought that you were full Puerto Rican when I first.

[B]

I ain't Puerto Rican. I'm sort of Rican. Like, I kind of.

[A]

What's your. ¿What's your dad or your mom?

[B]

My mom's Puerto Rican and Dominican. My father's Portuguese. African cavern. Oh, I'm all up.

[A]

¿So, was there Spanish in your household.

[B]

When she was mad? Like, vete para arriba. Vete a tu cuarto. Coge mi cigaroa.

[C]

Cigarrillo.

[B]

Cigarrillo.

[C]

No toque eso. Toca tu.

[B]

Nos dijo, tómame. Coge mi cartera.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah. A lot of that. Like that when she was mad, I got yelled.

[A]

¿Was her mama smoker? ¿Is she alive?

[B]

Yeah. She stopped smoking.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah, but she was heavy. Yeah. She was my mom tapped into cigarettes. Like, always like, these are things that I know. I know quotes in Spanish. I just can't hold the conversation. Like, if me and you try to talk, I'm cooked.

[C]

Well, when I first met him, I thought he speaks Spanish.

[A]

Yeah, He looks.

[C]

He looks like he's the look. And then he was talking to his grandma. His grandma only speaks Spanish. So I'm like, you gotta know Spanish.

[B]

Yeah. Nah. I put key words that she say she know what words I know how to use. Okay. Okay.

[A]

So this is the first time you're gonna have a show here ever in a Latin speaking country. Pray for me, you're gonna do great.

[B]

Pray for me.

[A]

I'm sure you're gonna do great.

[B]

I'm. I'm. I'm gonna try to record a moment me trying to talk to somebody so you can see. I'm gonna post that part.

[A]

You know what it's all about the energy and your.

[B]

Your.

[A]

Your. The energy you have.

[B]

It's everything the energy gonna be there. But I promise you, I'm gonna post that clip. I'm gonna try to have a conversation with somebody in the state, in the audience.

[A]

What do you. ¿What do you do? You try. ¿Do you make an effort on posting footage of your shows?

[B]

I try to whenever I do crowd work. I post it, but like my jokes. Come to the show. You come see that or Hulu. You'll see it on Hulu. ¿You know what I'm saying? Like my jokes. I write those. If I know I'm not gonna never use it again, I'll post it. ¿Why not? I got jokes that I only do in that area because it pertains to that area. ¿You know what I'm saying? So. And I'll probably never use it again, but other times. No, I got my nice little base of jokes. And then at the end of the show, I always with the crowds, like ten fifteen minutes, also use.

[A]

Finish your set.

[B]

Finish my set. And then I'll with the crowd. ¿Hey, what's up, man? ¿What's your name? ¿Where you from? Appreciate. Y' all coming out here. I know y' all been together. ¿You know what I'm saying? That's why I started talking to people. And now they're excited. The show's over. They're happy. Now they're getting a little bit of extra. Now we just talking and laughing with each other. Now we vibing.

[A]

That's risky. It is because I bet that your show ends on a high note and it would be awesome to leave in that moment, but you decide to take the risk and just improvise.

[B]

And thank God, it always goes.

[A]

Well, how do you know this is it.

[B]

If I feel like it's the conversation. Yeah, I'm about to say the conversation may not go too. Well, I can see that. It's not. It's not going anywhere that I'm enjoying. So I'll just be like. All right. Well, appreciate. Y' all being here. Now, the real reason y' all came. Y' all wanna see Ashley. Boom. Savior. She comes through. And now Ashley, we be in Boston, Massachusetts. We be in Weird State. We be in Kansas City. Number white people. She talk about some Puerto Rico. I'm like, baby, no, we're here. It's in Puerto Rico.

I don't know her name. I forgot her name. Thank God. Because I don't even want to talk about you. And I wouldn't say your name if I knew it, but I remember you. Yo, bro.

She had to touch the mic the whole show and then give it to the next nigga and then go back on stage and introduce me and then come back on stage. I'm like, I will cough on purpose and touch this mic. Keep with me.

It's just a beautiful piece of art. ¿Like, you know what I'm saying? They have three rows. Nice little tight green. Look, that's how it is when it's lit up like that. I love it. I love it. And that's why I love. Taking a picture while there's no one there. And then the picture while everybody there.

[B]

People like Kevin Hart perform there. So this is iconic to me.

[A]

¿How many seats?

[B]

Sixteen hundred. God damn sixteen hundred seats. So that's what I can't wait for. That makes me feel like the biggest hometown hero ever ever.

[A]

¿Where did you record your special?

[B]

In Las Vegas.

[A]

¿Oh, really? So it wasn't a crowd. ¿That knew you?

[B]

Nobody knew me.

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

Nobody knew me in that crowd. There were, like, few people who seen it. Oh, that's different videos because I noticed when I was walking in, but nobody knew me dog.

[A]

So.

[B]

So.

[A]

Okay, I hope I'm not crossing any lines with these questions, but I'm very curious. Those tickets. So that that was a sold out crowd that didn't know you were performing.

[B]

Yeah. It was a bunch of the, I think, comedians, a bunch of other comedians on each different night. So it was different crowds. I think some people went to multiple shows. I don't know how that worked out.

[A]

It was like a festival.

[B]

Yeah, I just know that was. There was definitely damn near sold out. I think it was big as I think, like two. Three hundred people. And it was wonderful, like multiple cameras. I've never. I've never had to look at so many cameras in my life. It was. It was scary.

[A]

They recorded one show.

[B]

You go up there one time.

[A]

So you. You. I recorded two specials. Self independently produced. And I never liked the first show. I was like, I hated.

[B]

Oh. I absolutely wanted to go up there again and do it again. Yeah, for sure. But you can't. You gotta give it all.

[A]

But it's in your head.

[B]

Yeah. They didn't notice it. They had a. They had a black.

[A]

Yeah, it's. We're anal.

[B]

There's times where she gets mad. I'll come back to the backstage after I get off the show. ¿She's like, What's wrong? I'm like, I just wish I did better. She's like I, babe. Everyone freaking just screamed my body.

[C]

Say, this I'm like. But you said this. You said it differently.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And you're right. Nobody. It's a great show.

[B]

It's me. Yeah. But I like it because it keep me sharp, keep me on my toes. It keep me wanting to be better. I don't want to be stagnant. I don't want to be.

[A]

So is the show in your. In your hometown, like, do you. It's gonna be like, the most important.

[B]

Show I say to me about. Yeah, right now, to me, the most important show, obviously, was that Hulu one. So I can't wait. But what I'm happy about is that show is the same day my hulu special come out.

[A]

¿What? Yes, completely. By accident.

[B]

That was on purpose.

[A]

¿Oh, really?

[B]

As soon as I found out when that hulu special dropped, I said, yo, I won't go home. I won't go home. I won't go home. So he was like, yeah, the Schubert Theater. He's like, we could do another venue and we could probably get you. Get you more over here. I was like, I don't give a how much I make. I don't care about the money. Right now I want to go there.

[A]

And. ¿Are you performing the same routine?

[B]

Nah, nah, nah.

[A]

So you have a new.

[B]

I got a whole new hour than I did on Hulu.

[A]

Wow. Go, Justin. You're killing it.

[B]

Nah. Thank you, bro. Every six to eight months, I try to change an hour. ¿What? Cause I got. You gotta. I gotta go back to these spots. And some people never seen me before. But there's people that always come to my show. There's people who don't travel to Philadelphia, then went to Boston, then came to North Carolina. And I'm like, you were at my other show. They're like, Yeah, but I still laughed at your jokes. They were still funny. I'm like, bitch, I can't keep doing the same jokes in front of you. ¿You out here saying my jokes while I'm on stage?

[A]

Yeah. I don't like it. When. When a person. Yeah, I. Obviously I appreciate people purchasing multiple tickets, but I'm like, this is the same tour. I let him out in the same tour. It's the same show.

[B]

You might get different crowd work. ¿You know what I'm saying? But as far as these jokes, you better not say nothing, bitch. You better laugh. You better act like it's your first time seeing this. But now they always show love. They. They keep coming back. They always get us gifts like people. People are amazing. They're like, dude, it was just as funny as the last show. Some people come and be like, I didn't even remember your jokes. I just loved it. I felt like it was a new show again. So I'm glad they got that experience.

[A]

And I bet you're making a lot of money. Like from Chili's to the Wilbur Theater. To this place.

[B]

Completely different. I'll tell you that. Much completely different.

[A]

You don't need to be singing Happy Birthday to no customers.

[B]

Yo. He knows how aggravated you have to get over the fucking servers. Happy. Happy Birthday from the chili's crew.

[A]

I used to have a routine about chili.

[B]

I'm interested.

[A]

I want to hear kids online.

[B]

I want to hear.

[C]

¿Is that a dream?

[B]

No, no, no, baby. Only you have dreams about.

[A]

It's so. It's such an old routine. My stand up bit that the punchline at the end was chili baby back ribs.

[B]

And they loved it.

[A]

¿Do you remember that.

[B]

Song question, though? Because I want to see this. This is random of this Puerto Rican thing. Do you. ¿Do you have, like, dreams and really remember your dreams?

[A]

No, All right.

[B]

That's all right. Cool. ¿Because how about your wife? Yeah. She has dreams and she wakes up. Like if it's still happening. Yeah.

[A]

¿And you know the special thing? Her dreams have multiple scenes.

[B]

Oh, she got movies.

[A]

Yeah. My. My dreams are like half a scene I remember. I was in the school and a fire broke out. That's it.

[C]

¿And what happened after?

[A]

Yeah, she's like so a guy rescued me and it was your uncle. And afterwards we got on a school bus and we went to space, and all of a sudden, Boss Aldrin was there.

[B]

It's like you up.

[A]

¿Is that an hour?

[B]

Yeah. Not. Ashley had a whole move. She wakes up, she says, like, she'll just look at me. I had a dream. What You were with another girl in the dream. Like, why you mad at me right now. Like, I'm here real like she you had a dream. You mad because that was fake. Then she'll wake up another day. Then she wake up smiling. ¿I'm like what you smiling about? Oh, I had a dream. We were at Bad Bunny concert and they took me to the back to meet Bad Bunny. And he was selling perfume. And Bad Bunny was selling perfume to me. And he gave me a kiss on the cheek and he gave me the perfume. I'm like, what the. ¿Are you talking about? How the. ¿Did you come up? With she goes. And I left you. I said so you left me when.

[A]

Bad Bunny and you just went.

[C]

¿I'Ll allow it, okay? I only go in. And he couldn't go in.

[A]

¿You know what?

[C]

Waited for me.

[A]

¿Better believe in God, okay?

[B]

She's.

[A]

Atheist, but she believes in karma. And I think that that cannot happen because karma is God. And if you don't believe in God, you cannot see the future in your dreams. I mean, you know, like you don't believe in God. But I learned something about you and my dream.

[B]

You.

[C]

¿Why are you listening to your dreams?

[B]

Nah, Dreams are dangerous. Dreams are dangerous. They're dangerous.

[A]

He funny as shit.

[B]

It'd be cold as he got on a vacation shirt.

[A]

I was like, you look Caribbean. He doesn't look from there.

[B]

He got the hair back jailed up. I'm like you look like you're on vacation mode soon as you get out. I know your nipples hurt cold as in Buffalo, bro. ¿You kidding me? Yeah. I love that for you, man. I'm glad you getting this experience. You deserve it, man. I'm hearing nothing but good things about yourself. No.

[A]

¿You know what? She went to Miami because her sister's there and she has kids and our kids play with with their little cousins. And I wanted to take her to Orlando. I was there this weekend. But the big kid got hand, foot and mouth.

[B]

Okay. Okay.

[A]

They're. They get sick every week.

[B]

Wait. ¿The big kid got hand footed?

[C]

Yeah. The little rash that they get on the foot.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

It comes with a fever.

[C]

It's a whole thing.

[B]

And she just put vix on the kids.

[A]

Big san.

[B]

Good luck.

[A]

¿No, but I. You know what? I'm from the belief that he has what just put him on a plane. But mother knows.

[B]

Absolutely. Yeah. Put him on a plane.

[C]

On a plane. ¿Because I said, do you bring better his wife?

[A]

I wanted to.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Put him on a plane and get.

[A]

Them away from me.

[B]

Yeah, I thought that's what you do when kids are sick. Just put them on a plane. ¿What the When is that it right? Put him on a plane. ¿When do you want him to come back?

[A]

Samuel L. Jackson. There are kids playing. No. I wanted to go. And I wanted to take them to see cars and Disney stuff. But we could.

[B]

How to Lando treat you great as they should. I love Orlando, bro. They always show out. They always show out.

[A]

It's. It was humbling because it was a tough weekend. It was the Fourth of July weekend. And when they for Latino Spanish speaking comedians. It's Now it's starting to open up because what. When I began to try to get some dates, what I learned is that most Latino Spanish speaking comedians get Tuesdays, Thursdays at the best. And I've. I have. I have had the opportunity that they give me Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

[B]

You got blessed, bro.

[A]

But Orlando is. It's a great market for a lot of people. And the only weekend that I could get was this weekend. And it's what I learned after. The fact is that it's a historically bad weekend for comedy because of your life. And I sold out four shows.

[B]

Come on, Talk your. ¿That's bragging, right?

[A]

Yeah. I'm cabrón. And for the first time in my life, I feel like an artist you are. Yeah. But I. People don't let you know until you're in a comedy club and the manager treats you super respectfully.

[B]

And, yeah, but it start with you, though. As long as you gotta own that. Like, I knew I was an artist before this whole shit. Before I blew up, I was just wait. Wait till the right people see me. You've been an artist even when you did this. This is their own art. Right here.

[A]

¿Where do you get that positive attitude?

[B]

My father, no matter what he went through, he always said, we gonna be able to get through it. ¿You know? When I played basketball, I felt like a star. ¿You know? Even though I wasn't. I felt like, I'm starting basketball, you know, no matter what I did, I always did it. And I was able to do it at the best possible way. Like, I, when I did electrical, I was good, I was. I'm gonna make mad money. I started doing side jobs. I was making money.

[A]

Oh, okay, okay.

[B]

I was electrician for, like, three years, and I was making real fucking good money. I was like, I'm good at it. I can make money. So anything I put my mind to was gonna be good at it. And I knew I was gonna be great at it. So with comedy, as soon as I started, I was like, yo. I love this feeling. It feels like a high People love me. People are laughing this. Feels good to have people react that way. I' ma keep doing this. Even when we first met. Like, I told our first date, yes, was the movies. But right after that, our second date, she came to my comedy show. She drove an hour to come watch me do five minutes, bro. Third date drive, another hour, come watch me do five minutes.

[A]

And having kids.

[B]

Yeah, she left them. I don't know where they was at, where they was with. But my sister, she pulled up. She pulled up. But yeah, man, Like I, that was the dream. That was the goal. Wasn't. Ain't nobody about.

[A]

¿So were you like the best electrician?

[B]

Hell, no. The working with me ain't like me. They'll say it. They're like, I'm glad comedy work, boy, I hate it. When they put you with me to work, I was always recording. Then they'll have me do the ceiling because I'm a little right. They throw me in the ceiling, they have me connect the wires. A job that may should. That should take fifteen, twenty minutes. I'm up there for an hour and a half. Like Justin. ¿Where you at? Nothing. I'm not. I'm chilling. Doing videos, letting people know I'm in the ceiling because y' all don't care about me.

[A]

¿Okay?

[B]

Oh, yeah. Nah, they didn't like me.

[A]

But you know what when you say that, when you were there, you were very positive and happy and you're dead. I remembered. I remember, like, fifteen years ago getting being overwhelmed with all the debts and car. Like, too many car tickets. Yeah, I remember assuming, saying like, I'm gonna be a millionaire eventually. I'll pay all this off. So I didn't know how, but. And I'm still not a millionaire by the way, but things getting paid, I can. I can pay for the tickets.

[B]

Yeah. And that I think that's the biggest blessing, bro. That's the biggest blessing. ¿You speak it into existence?

[A]

¿When did you arrive here to Puerto Rico?

[B]

We got hit.

[C]

[A]

¿Have you hung out?

[B]

Yeah, we've been chilling. Unless. ¿You got any other spots?

[A]

¿Are you drinkers?

[B]

We like to dibble and dab a little bit smokers at night.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, I get a little hot at night.

[A]

¿So what's what's like? Your. Your perfect hangout scenario.

[B]

Perfect hangout. Rooftop.

[C]

I love rooftop.

[B]

Rooftop lounge. Good appetizers. Decent food and some drinks. Not a club.

[A]

Not a club talking.

[B]

¿You want to talk? Yeah, I like nice little music coming on and like an ambiance, you know, nothing too loud. Where I got a scream, how you been like. It's life good. I want none of that nice little vibe. Yeah, that's perfect.

[A]

Hate loud music.

[B]

I hate clubs, but you know what Depressing.

[A]

It's impressive that. Because you. When I was twenty, you're. You're twenty eight.

[B]

Thank you, Bobby. I'm thirty one.

[A]

Thirty one. Yeah, thirty one. I was beginning to hate on music this weekend. We went to steakhouse.

[B]

It was like Venezuela.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Was it inside of the. ¿The Orlando Improv Area? No. Well, it was. It wasn't. It was a cube libre.

[A]

No, it wasn't in the point.

[B]

Okay, That's the point. But it was like five or fifteen minutes.

[A]

Yeah, it was a close by. We went to a steakhouse. I love, like, when I would. When I'm with the crew, we like eating, like, flaps of me. New York Paul's.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, got you. And I was like, let's find.

[B]

I got to wait. Well, I'm with the crew.

[A]

Slab of meat.

[B]

The voice. The voice added some that shouldn't have been there. When I'm with the boys hot and juicy. You didn't mean it. It's all right. Continue. Let's get to the good part.

[A]

Well, I. I like slobbering a piece of meat.

[B]

He's still at it.

[A]

I love. I love steakhouses. And there was nothing open except one place and we get there and there's a stage with congas and a guitar. And I'm like it's late. They probably already played. We sit down and a concert begins to happen.

[C]

Florida is lit. It's amazing. We were complaining yesterday because everything was closed here.

[B]

Look at the chant that with the boys. Chant that with the boys. Yeah. This is my perfect day. This is what we like to do on Tuesdays. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God.

[A]

Perfect scenario. Raw meat inside of my mouth with the veiny meat man.

[B]

The voice is out of control. Bro, almost sounds like he means it.

[A]

Veiny meat inside of my mouth.

[B]

The juice.

[A]

But yeah, a concert began and it was great music, but my analysis of the whole thing was that are people enjoying this. And I'm like, No, no, no, no. Everyone's dancing like people in general like that.

[C]

Yeah, we are.

[A]

We're out of the crew in this. Like, I don't like having to shout. No to communicate.

[B]

I want to chill. Go to the bartender. Yoga. Get a drink. ¿Yes, not can I get up? ¿Do you guys have this? ¿What do you? I can't do it. Don't like it. Don't invite me.

[A]

¿Have you seen the video of the girl asking for the DJ for a drink? Sambuca. DJ Sambuca blonde.

[B]

[B]

She was ready.

[A]

[B]

Now, that's a good night. And Sambucas who drinks some bookas like in a party like that. What the fuck.

[A]

¿I don't even know what?

[B]

It's a cordial and you drink it just after you eat and it's good like to settle your stomach. It's not like a potty drink. ¿You know what I'm saying?

[A]

I can't drink Buchanan. But I. But I prefer Bukanan Sambuca. I think it's like a mint.

[B]

¿Is it like a liqueur?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's an after dinner it's dark and they put some seeds of coffee on it, like three. They put it on this like big glass. So it's like something to drink after eating, like. But hanging out is like she's up.

[A]

Sambuca is a sweet Italian anise. Flavored liqueur.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's typically clear, but can also be black or red due to added ingredients. I have an I could do English.

[B]

¿How'D it go?

[A]

I ate warm juicy cockadoodle do. It didn't go good at all. I did an open mic in the in a Miami improv, and it went. I remember like shifting gears like my. I tried to translate a routine I don't remember which one. And it wasn't going well. And I just started saying, man, this. And I turned on the scarface accent, but it didn't go well at all.

[B]

That's hilarious. The fact that you tried.

[C]

It's awesome.

[B]

And that's why I'm nervous, because I'm about to attempt some this Thursday.
