What's up, guys? Welcome back to the podcast. It's been a while since we had a solo episode. I'm very excited for everybody out in the unrestricted. You get on solo every week, but that's a little different. We're usually just really wrecked. So welcome back to the podcast. I'm stoked, guys. We have a lot going on. We've had a lot going on. There's many things. We're gonna catch up today. We're gonna hang out. We got a lot of cool stuff. We got a lot of updates of Mario updates with me. I brought up a story. Yeah, I brought up a story in the last unrestricted. And Marty goes. I don't remember that. So I'm gonna talk about that today. Anytime Marty says I don't remember that, I'm gonna just talk about it.

Rare, rare moment. I think. Let's get started. I haven't seen anybody. I haven't been solo since we've done it. A shout out to everybody that showed up to the Tempe Improv. I really appreciate you. We had a. Two weeks ago, we did four shows. We did two on Friday, two on Saturday. Thank you for showing up. I really appreciate it. The first time traveling to do stand up, which is sick. Shout out to David Lucas for inviting me to open or host. I should say I hosted all four shows. It was. It was super fun. It was really awesome. Hosting is easy. As soon as I'm done with my set, my heart's gotta go up and say your name. I'm gonna get drunk or do whatever. It's really cool.
B (1:52)
So you weren't sitting around stressing all day?
A (1:55)
Nah, not really nice. I finally. I did four sets of the same exact set. I think I got it. I have a show. Oh, oh, this coming out. I just had a show on Friday from this episode coming out. I just had a show on Friday at the Covina Laugh Factory. And this weekend, if you're watching it this weekend, this is current time. If you're watching this episode this Friday and Saturday at the Miami Improv. Yes, In Miami. I have two shows on Friday. I have two shows on Saturday. Opening. Well, I think I'm gonna be second with David Lucas. He's on his tour right now. So I'm just doing some dates with them. Come check it out. I'm very excited. I'm gonna come out swinging. Me and Marty were trying to figure out unrestricted. I think I'm gonna come out to Miami, look around, make sure we're safe. Go. So are all the black people to speak Spanish here? I have it. I have it. More of it. It's just. That's how I feel. Like, what did you take away from Miami? It's hot. And every black guy speaks Spanish. Like they're not black. Like, that's a black guy. Dude, don't tell me. I don't care what you say. He's from Dr. Shut up. Dude. That's a black guy that speaks Spanish. That's why I say like Dominicans, Puerto Rico. I mean, black guys that speak Spanish trips me out, dude. They sound like my dad, my grandpa speak in Spanish. I'm like Dan Kobe over there speaking baseball. Baseball. Black. That's where you start saying baseball. You mean Cuban? Yeah, yeah, I do mean Cuban. But there's hella light skinned Cubans too. Don't nitpick. I'm just talking terrible things. It was super fun. Sets went great. I had a. I had a great time. I like, I told you, I finally had fun. Like, not stressed enough. Forget my words. The last set I went up there, I was like, just have fun. And I had the most fun I've ever had on stage. And we. It was the most comfortable I've ever been. It was super fun. I was soaking in it. In. They keep talking over the laughs and I'm like, let it go, let it go. And I was waiting for this lap and then I started. Oh man, I had the most fun. Yeah, super sick. I'm very excited. Another thing about Arizona, when I was going around Tempe and Phoenix for. For those of you that have ever been there, you're like, where are the homeless people? They don't really have a lot of. And then you just look at the sides of buildings. Like in the cut. They're in the sides of. In the shadows. Because these fools. Could you imagine smoke some. Smoke some something. And I pass out and I wake up cooked to the ground. Could you imagine waking up and you have third degree burns on just one side of your body. You get up and your skin goose. Oh, no lie, dude. It was so violent. I mean, Merced's hot. It gets. It's gotten 120something. I remember one summer, it's a different kind of hot in Arizona. And that's why I talked about it on stage. I'm like, yo, that's why all the gang bangers out here look pissed. Because gang bangers here in LA can at least go meditate by the beach after and. And by the sand and do the. You know, I mean, they have fun out there in Arizona. Like, dude, let's go back in the house. It's. I'm dying. You can't protect your block if you're having heat stroke. Outside, these fools are still down. They're still wearing the same dude. It's just 40 degrees hotter for them. So that's the one thing about Arizona I noticed. The. How are they white homeless? You should be crispy brown. I saw some white homeless. How. How is your pigment allowing you to live out there?
