Yola
People don't understand, like, putting on lotion now I'm sweating all day. Like, I'm trying to be moisturized and I'm sweating all day. Being fat is not fun.
Duno

But you had already moved out here.
Yola
Yeah. And then I found out he filmed one of my videos seven years before. I had no idea.
Marty
The first video on the YOLA channel.
Yola
The first time I ever met. I had some guy at a party. Could you. Could you hold this real quick? And I went up and did like some stupid impossible throw this weed. And I ran down and caught it. Like it looked impossible, like the flash. And it turned out to be Marty. Wow, how random, man.
Duno
At least it was a Grinder.
Yola
He wasn't Grinder. Back to what I was saying. Yes, they put you in the back. What character did you play in Christmas? In Christmas.
Duno
You know what? I went to like a pretty diverse school. People don't know. I mean, people do know this, but I went to like, if you like, in la, there's like a really wide area called Brownwood.
Yola
Stop. Yeah, it's a really white area called Brownwood.
Duno
Brownwood. Someone.
Yola
Of course, I would love to live there.
Duno
So my. My mom cleans houses there. She's been cleaning houses. Lady there for. For my whole lifetime sign. So we. So we use her address. Yeah, her address.
Yola
So your ass coming to school.
Duno
And then, and then, and then, and then. That's why I'm so open to culture. A lot of my friends still think Muslims is a, like, like a race.
Yola
Really?
Duno
Yeah, Like I have a lot of friends.
Yola
Like, well, if not people aren't educated on. On other religions either.
Duno
Yeah. Yeah. So when my homies met my homie Jakarta, they're like, oh, so you're Muslim? And D's like, no, I'm Indonesian. So then how are you Muslim? Not to explain to them like, you can also be Muslim.
Marty
People do that with J too.
Duno
Yeah. Are you?
Yola
My whole family's Jewish.
Duno
Yeah, like, like, so I. That's how I learned about a lot of. That was my first time ever being racist in these schools because during my fifth grade I had a teacher named Mr. Chesler. Is it Chester.
Yola
Chester.
Duno
Chester. And he, he taught us about this book called. Was it called the Indianapolis? It's about World War II. During US in Japan, there was a boat that got hit. People kamikaze it. Like they kamikaze it. Like you don't know what comes. No, no, it wasn't for harbor.
Yola
It wasn't.
Duno
It might have been during that war. I could be wrong. But point is, we read this book and as I learned about kamikaze, when the Japanese soldiers. So Japanese were doing it before two down. Yeah. They were like. Like it. We don't have any.
Marty
We're keeping it real.
Duno
Goes wrong.
Yola
They must know that they got a restart button or like a respawn because I'm not diving into a boat with my plane for the country.
Duno
Yeah. So they were doing that and then. And then we read the book and then we met one of the survivors through the phone and it was like the dopest thing ever.
Yola
A survivor of a kamikaze plane.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
Did he jump out and forget.
Duno
Jumped out. And then they were stuck in the water for hours. Like for days. I think I remember. I remember this vividly. We met him on the phone and then fifth grade was an important year in my life. And then. And then that was again, that was first of all racist. There was a guy. There was a guy in my class named Ryoma. Korean man.
Yola
Ryoma, Ryoma.
Duno
Nice guy. I wonder where I'm a street fighter character.
Yola
Yeah, he does, huh?
Duno
Very racist because he was Asian. And then lunch. We used to call him kamikaze because we learned. Because we learned. But it's because I just. Hey man.
Yola
There was a black kid that helped us with thing. Everybody called him Radio because the movie Radio. So people are just funny races sometimes. I get it.
Duno
But. But that was my first time. I remember being like, they may ever call you Rakishi?
Yola
That pissed me off. Someone called me Rakishi once.
Duno
I'm like, bro, not Jabba the Hub was the one I got.
Yola
Oh, I got Jabba all the time.
Duno
But like a nerd call me that because no. Knew so much about. Nope.
Yola
Fat guy from Star wars, whoever his name is.
Duno
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But yeah, that was the first time I was ever racist towards an ancient person.
Yola
It's not racist. That's funny.
Duno
I was like. I was like, haha, Kamikaze, yo.
Yola
Racism when you're a kid is free game. Homies used to call me terrible shit. My homie Tunde. Big ass fool. I called him Tunde Babatunde. Oh, Sumbo. That was his name. He's from his problems from Africa. And he would Call me a bunch of brown, horrible spic names. And I called him Mighty Joe Young. The big ass movies with the gorilla guy. That was really fun. I'm like, you're fucking huge. That's messed up.
Duno
Like, it is.
Yola
But you keep calling me a spic, bro. So it's funny when, like, kids, it's like south park we're talking about. It's like, yo, it's okay. They're kids.
Duno
Yeah. That's literally. Yeah. Yeah. If I would call him, like, kamikaze now. I haven't talked to him in a while. I. I wonder where Ryoma is, because I don't think he went to the same middle school as I did.
Yola
I always wonder about people like that. I wonder what happened to that kid.
Duno
Yeah, right. I try to look him up on Facebook, but I don't even know how to spell his name. Like, how do you spell right? You know what?
Yola
You'll probably find it, though.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
Ryoma.
Duno
Ryoma.
Yola
He was Korean and you called him Japanese. Yes, I get it.
Duno
He. He was the first food that he, like. See what I'm saying? Like, when you. When. When your kids hang out with other kids, they'll learn. They'll be so much more educated. Like. Yeah, because he was the first one I saw bring like a flask and. No, no. And it had the hot boiling water and then it had the dead fish and all the different. And then he would make no sushi.
Yola
Why was your friend a chef at school? What grade was this? Fifth grade.
Duno
Fifth grade.
Yola
Oh, it's Brett. Would you. This kid's bringing a sushi box.
Duno
No, no, but it wasn't like a sushi. He had the leaves on the side. And then he would make like the little. The dead fish with the rice. Bro, I promise you, this was crazy. And I fell in love with it. That's the first time I also ever ate a packet of. Of like, noodles with just like, raw. Like, if it was chips.
Yola
Oh, I never done that before.
Duno
It's amazing. It's good. It's good because all you do is add the pack.
Yola
Oh, I never thought about that. I see how Asian kids doing that.
Duno
Yes. Asian kids, bro.
Yola
Mexican kids too.
Duno
Actually.
Yola
I've seen Mexicans put. Put hot sauce in the pack.
Duno
Exactly.
Yola
In the morning, I'm like, bro, it's 7:14.
Duno
But it's like, how can we judge them when we're eating hot Cheetos at 8am?
Yola
Oh, I get it.
Duno
You know what I'm saying?
Yola
I was eating the. Remember the chicken rollers from 7:11. I was eating that at 7:18 in the morning.
Duno
It's crazy. But it, but it was crazy to go to those schools and be so poor. Nobody realized for you, you know? Used to blow my mind like lunches.
Yola
When people brought lunches.
Duno
No, no, no, I, I, I definitely had the tickets. I had the tickets.
Yola
Oh, I was, say, I never had.
Duno
A lunch, but I always realized, like, how is it that your mom works and could pick you up and you could stay up to school?
Yola
Oh yeah, yeah.
Duno
If I was so poor that I didn't understand.
Yola
I'm like, your dad's home. That was the first thing. I'm like, you have a dad. That's crazy.
Duno
Yeah, like, but yeah, bro. Ryoma Rama. If you somehow watch Yoda, this would be.
Marty
So they let you skate the whole time, Nobody ever gave you.
Duno
Yeah, because you can't kick out a brown kid from you.
Yola
No, you can because we did that and they kicked me out.
Duno
Yeah, yeah. But yeah, my mom used the address and then also. But I would get picked up by my area, like by my, by my school and I mean, was it called by where I grew up? Yeah.
Yola
So they've made a special exception to go get your ass.
Duno
No, no. Well, there's a school bus for the ghetto.
Yola
The fact there's a school bus for the ghetto for president.
Duno
It's a magnet program. Because it's a magnet program. So you gotta get.
Yola
Oh, you weren't the only. Oh yeah.
Duno
There was a lot of other ghetto kids like me.
Yola
See, that makes sense, bro. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
Duno
Because it's like a write off, like charity. Let's bring out the kids, yo.
Yola
Because when I was a kid I had to go, I lived in the ghetto and I had to go to the nice part of town because I was in a gate the gifted program with the little smart kids. The only little ghetto kid in it. And I feel you. You get to learn about a lot. I went to this kid, Michael Gates, his grandpa threw a, his birthday party and there was like catered food and I had never seen in my life. It was just what? It was weird growing up around other people. Like, yo, you don't live nowhere near me. I've, I'll never see you again after school.
Duno
That's what I'm saying.
Yola
Yeah, dude, that's what I understand what you're saying.
Duno
Yeah, that was like the trip. But yeah, that was the first time I was racist.
Marty
You go to high school out there too?
Duno
No, no, I did for two days. So I, so I Went to Brentwood and then I went to Paravir. I went to part of here from sixth grade to like a month into the second semester. Got kicked out one of John Burroughs.
Yola
Kicked out for what?
Duno
For fighting justified and like are you. I mean it was just. It was a kid. And then. And then one of John Burroughs went there for like a year and a half and then got kicked out. And then one of my home school.
Yola
Soccer fighting again for our.
Duno
For talking badass because I was. So I got kicked out of part of here and then I got OT which is opportunity transfer to a semi good school.
Marty
That's a nice.
Yola
It's a nice way to say you're out.
Duno
Get the out of here. And then I went there and then I wanna. And then I went to sarcastic and that was my last time being there.
Yola
So you got kicked out two days into high school and then.
Duno
And then I went to after saw Castro I went to Belmont and then I went to Belmont which is my high school. My first high school. I didn't go to school for three months damn near my freshman year. Got kicked out MC and then. Oh no no. Got kicked out of of Belmont the first two months which is like September, October, November. My sister was going to Palisades. Palace is high.
Yola
Damn. Your mom's picking you guys up?
Duno
No, we're on the bus.
Yola
Okay, I'll say.
Duno
You guys are all over the place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we're getting for mom barely learned how to drive because I gave her a car like a year and a half ago because I gave her my old Nissan Autumn mom never drove.
Yola
For real?
Duno
My mom never drove bus. That's why I know how to get all over the city in the bus. I swear to God, I know every single bus that take you anywhere in the city.
Yola
That makes sense.
Duno
Yeah. And then. And then I went to. And then so my sister was going to paddle states so I was able to apply through like the family and there's like a lottery and then when I did get accepted, I got accepted and I was there for two days and I couldn't handle it.
Yola
Why?
Duno
It was just like. Like I went back from like white school to like the ghetto and then I fell in love with the ghetto. And I mean, I mean, I mean I mean obviously I lived on the block but all my. You know those, those years are important like elementary but they are seven. 8th grade, 9th grade is there those were you me friends of a lifetime. So all my best friends were already there. So I went there for two days and then I got kicked out. And then.
Yola
And then you kicked out on purpose, though?
Duno
Yes.
Yola
What'd you do?
Duno
And I was like, I'm not going.
Yola
Bar Simpson, you mom.
Duno
I threw like, a fit, and then I went to mc and then I ended up doing the rest.
Yola
It worked. Damn, those white kids rubbed off on.
Duno
Yes. Yeah. I didn't tell her about you, but I know you didn't. Essentially, I was like. Without saying, I was like, sounds like a kid with autism. I didn't know how to communicate that. I didn't want to be at a white school, just. Which is acting up.
Yola
I was a kid, like, with autism. What the.
Duno
She didn't understand my anger towards the white folks. Not you, Marty. Buffalo white folks. You drink beer when you were 7 years old.
Yola
Oh, my God. Jesus Christ. No, Mars. Just playing basketball and not bouncing because there's snow.
Duno
Literally.
Marty
That's.
Duno
I've always wondered. I. I've always wanted to sit down and talk to, like, a white person from, like, Midwest. Like, like, what? Why they do. Yeah, yeah. Like. Like, why do you take off your shirt and jump in the snow and then run back inside the house?
Marty
I've never been that type of.
Yola
Oh, there's white. There's goofy white. There's crazy white. There's three levels.
Duno
There's three levels.
Yola
Marty's regular white might punch you in the face. You get too close. Crazy. Why he's gonna punch you? Because he's drunk.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
And then insane white are the fools that you see on, like, lockups and Bill's fans.
Duno
Bill's fan. You guys are drunk. Our Bill fans that do that, that sits. There's a dude on Tick Tock that sits there and goes like, if you can out drink me, Yo, I'm talking $20.
Yola
The guy with the happy dad hat.
Duno
It's right.
Yola
Always drinking, bro. I feel bad for the guy.
Duno
No, no. He sits there and makes so much money.
Yola
Yeah, but he's sitting there like this, right?
Duno
No, no, no, not him. Have you seen the duty he sits in? Like, he tailgates for every Bills. Oh, no.
Yola
This guy's in his house.
Duno
Oh, no, no, no. There's this guy that tailgates for every Bills game. It might be a builder, the Bengals. But he sits there and goes like, my, my.
Yola
So 2020 to your 100, right?
Duno
Yeah, yeah.
Yola
Oh, yeah.
Duno
And then he beat you in the chugging.
Yola
Yep. Chugging. I'll give you 100 or you. Or you give me 20.
Duno
Yes. And it kills every time. And then, you know, white on white crime is real. Especially when it comes to drinking. Bruise like there's no other. Whatever.
Yola
You can't even say white and beer in the same bruise, like.
Duno
And it's amazing. It's the most amazing thing ever. And when they go at it, it's crazy.
Marty
That's real.
Yola
Yeah. I grew up around a bunch of white skater kids though. Skater kids are different than regular white kids.
Duno
Yeah, but they're also a different breed.
Yola
Yes, Gator, white kids are different. They got like sharp elbows and can fight.
Duno
Yeah.

Duno
It was wrapped.
Yola
Yeah, a wrapped box that cut a hole and it didn't fit. So it was like this.
Duno
Who convinced your teacher?
Yola
My teacher. I asked her five Times. Please don't. I'll hold the tree or something. And she said, well, we need a present. There's a picture of it. I'm just standing like this with regular school clothes on. Dude, no. Hell no, dude. Sorry. Yeah, I don't like that. Back to what we're saying. Yeah, they're different breed. Different breed. Like, the things I've heard from Marty.
Duno
Was like, the older, like, you've seen Marty do whitest thing ever.
Marty
It's a good question.
Yola
Recent, I saw. I turned on to this app called Instagram, and when I opened it, his page came on and was like, what? Marty's on a zip line over concrete 70ft in the air. That is the widest. We call it cps Caucasian people.
Marty
I've been embracing it this year.
Duno
Yeah, he has.
Yola
He has. He got on a zip line.
Duno
A zip line where you get holstered and. But over concrete.
Yola
Concrete.
Marty
It wasn't that serious. Technically, it was a zip line.
Yola
Well, no, no, it was. If it broke, you're dead. It's pretty serious. Serious.
Duno
Was there, like, another person waiting for you at the other end or like, you and your friends built it?
Marty
No one. There was somebody waiting there.
Duno
Also, the professional.
Yola
Yeah. Yeah, it was professional.
Marty
It wasn't like a DIY homemade.
Yola
Could you imagine a DIY zipple that's just trying not to die?
Marty
Yeah. Kevin McAllister did it real quick.
Yola
Now we're on Christmas talk.

Duno
And. And. And my thing is, like, the Web bandits, like, they just. Just flood the whole.
Yola
It's kind of funny.
Duno

Yola
Stuffing the toilets and flooding it. What a. All right, ready? You come home, you're like, oh, my God, I got robbed. And then you go, my whole house is water damage. Now, that's fucked up if you really.

Cook the movie but you know. But you know what I'm saying I can't even like walk into the gate the kids up.
Yola
I get it like in Dumb and Dumber he would never be able to fly off that that terminal.
Duno
And that's what it is. That's my biggest issue with this whole.
Yola
You know what I say terrorism needs to stop. We need the Ben. We need the end of rom coms back. I think that's why terrorism needs to stop too. That's the only reason why.
Duno
All right.
Yola
Real quick. Yes, let's get into this. Last time we saw you.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
Your back sucked. Does it suck still?
Duno
Oh yes, it's terrible. Is your back better?
Yola
It's getting better.
Duno
What have you been doing? Sleeping on your back. I remember you put me on that.
Yola
Yes. But since the last time I saw you I've been going to like a specialist where they like put you in this machine. They pull your. Your spine.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
So I went to the doctor turns out I got crushed vertebrae broken ones like 14 was it slipped this I.
Duno
Got and that's because of your weight?
Yola
I think it's that including like all the weightlifting I used to do the moving company I did my whole life just a bad background. I used to lift like crazy. And since then it's getting better. Yes, it's getting a lot better. But I woke up this morning completely locked up. Like of course I did. It's been like a week since I've been hurting. So I wanted to ask you is the sciatica pain gone?
Duno
No, still there. But.
Yola
But on and off, huh?
Duno
But. But what has been helping me is when I do go to the chiropractor, I get attached to this machine too. And then like, if one. Once you get off, you feel taller.
Yola
Oh, yeah. Okay.
Duno
They like split, but it does.
Yola
It doesn't go like this.
Duno
You gotta be consistent. The problem is the consistency. Yeah. Because if I were to go once a week for the next six months, it'll probably change my whole. I was four times a week the other day I was standing up and I felt like. Like I'm big already, so you know what I'm saying? But I feel like, stuck. Like, hella stuck. And I was like, I gotta move around a little more.
Yola
Desperate. Yeah, because I figured your muscles are tied around people. Like, oh, my back. Stiff like. No, it's your disc. Yeah, bulging. That's making that nerve get pinched up. And not everybody, but.
Duno
Yeah. And I've been thinking about just doing the. If you know what I heard helps the acupuncture thing. It.
Yola
Dude, it totally helps. Yeah, but the electrodes on it.
Duno
Yeah, but I have to go with somebody because I'm scared for it. Just. Somebody poked my nerve and then I look like for you. Remember when Kung Fu Panda got hit by. When the little thing like. I don't want to just look like that.
Yola
No, you're gonna be fine. I've done acupuncture. I don't. I don't like. I don't have tattoos. I don't like needles, bro.
Duno
I'm afraid of them. So are you a fan of the acupuncture?
Yola
I don't like it, but it worked. They did one where they tied a little electrodes to each one and it was sending zaps.
Duno
That was so good, though.
Yola
And it. Because I had plantage fasciitis, where that muscle in your foot is so stuck.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
It went away in one day.
Duno
Oh, my God.
Yola
I might straight.
Duno
I might have to go get that. Can you recommend me to wherever you went?
Marty
Do you feel each one?
Duno
Like, that's what I'm saying. Do you feel so much?
Yola
No, because this lady does this. She taps and you don't feel it, because when she taps, your skin comes back up and the needles in the pocket so it just goes in. Oh, so you only feel the tap. She's like, don't worry, I have a technique. And go, oh, I love you, Jason. You know, she's like. She's. She's kamikazing these things right into my back, bro.
Duno
Asian people Are the only one that could touch me in between my boho vibes. Like, Asian people, when they, like, give you a back massage and you know they sometimes do on your ass, like, they, like, lifted. It goes down.
Yola
I'm like, yeah, buttholes on your back. You got a high.
Duno
You got a high, asshole. Just getting bucked all your life, being so high. Be so high online.
Yola
Just getting in line.
Duno
Hey, imagine your was like, right on your back. Somebody just pats it.
Yola
Just like wet, wet, wet hand. All these impossible ass things. All right, since we've seen you, your back's getting better, or it's still shitty.
Duno
It's just.
Yola
But since we've seen you, you hadn't started your comedy yet. Yeah, I remember the first thing you did. I was like, damn, this feels really. All right, cool. Now you're, like, almost a year in.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
Right.
Duno
About to be about, like. Like eight months.
Yola
Eight months.
Duno
Nine months, officially.
Yola
You like it, man.
Duno
Ah, bro, it's a high. It's so cool because it's like, people don't understand, like, I like and. And shout out you. I've seen you getting on stage.
Yola
Oh, dude, it's scared cocaine. It's better than drugs. It's better.
Duno
People don't understand that, like, when you're up there, because. Because I was so against it. One, because I was a. And two, because it's kind of like you're coming from, like, a thing where it's like, oh, you're only funny on social media and all these things. Right? So, like, kind of gotta prove yourself a little extra more. But then when. The minute I, like, started liking and then there's still so much to learn. I'm still. I'm, like, a student of the game. I'm, like, green when it comes to, like, I'm okay with, like, learning tips. Like, people giving me punches. Like, hey, maybe right here. Tags. Whatever.
Yola
Oh, moving.
Duno
Yeah. Like. Like. But it's so fun, bro. There's no better. Like, there's no better.
Yola
You do. And this full. Just the crowd up.
Marty
Sometimes it happens so fast. Like, what was the catalyst to. It went from 0 to 100 so.
Duno
Quick because I was like, stop being a fool. Just get on the road. But it's a. It comes with a lie. It comes with a team. Like, I. I'll stop. You know what? We're just talking about this. The first time I, like, went, like, on the real stage, because don't get me wrong, I've done. I did, like, a little stuff before. Like, I remember when Renee Vaka Was doing the little covert shows at the outside spot at the hot comedy club with like five people there. So seeing him, what he's doing now, amazing. Great guy, bro. He keep killing it. I would do little sets and it was just terrible. They're the worst things in the world. They suck. Earlier this year around like maybe March or even maybe a little before that, a little after that, Concrete had us. Had six sold out. Six sold out shows in Covina. And I went to one on Friday. I got there at 6:30. The show started at 7:30. I went up, bombed, bombed, bombed.
Yola
In the term that you don't like what you had written or crickets food. Oh, people's not responding.
Duno
People not responding. It was terrible. And I got off. Have you been to the Covina lab factory? So you go downstairs to like the basement. You like go downstairs and I looked at Marty, which is my manager now. Me and Cargill had the same manager. And I was like, hey, if I'm gonna just take off. When I was supposed to do both shows. And I was like, hey, if I'm gonna just take off. And I was sewing my hair. Food. Like, I was like, I'm gonna just take off food. And I had a little. I was supposed to go with like at 10. So I was like, it, I'm just go eat somewhere and just wait for a little. Like before I was. Before I bombed that bad food, like.
Yola
I'm just gonna go by myself for a minute.
Duno
Yeah, food. Like I had to like rethink everything. Like life kind of hit when it came to comedy. And then conquer was like, why you gonna leave for food? And I was like. And he's like, what happens? He's like, it's happened to everybody a lot. It happened to everybody. He's like, you think you're the only person that's ever bombed food? And I was like, nah, no food. But I'ma just, you know, I'm take off. It's cool. What's going to bomb when nobody knows you? It's bad when you're bombing. Everybody knows you.
Marty
Yeah, yeah.
Duno
So I'm like, like I felt Osama for a little bit, you know, like just bomb.
Yola
I felt Osama. Oh, get out of here.
Duno
And then I sat there and he's like, fool, you're good. You'll get in the next one. And I got on my head and I went up and out and. And I killed for where I was at that point in my career, where I was at. I did a great set and I thought, oh, I feel Good again. I felt good again. And then, yeah, man, after that, I was like, okay, I gotta, I, I, I, like, I gotta work on this craft. And I started doing little shows. I. Popping out the answer like, hey, I wanna. Can't do five minutes. Boom. And just started doing my own shit. My own. And then, yeah, man, sick. And it's just been working, and I don't have, like, a solid, like, 30 minutes that even now I'm still perfecting. So hopefully one day, like in the next year or so, I could probably film it as a special. But yeah, I've been just like, it's.
Yola
So sick to see it because you get to watch it in real time. Yeah, yeah, we're just watching it.
Marty
Renee and Concrete, Ralph Barbosa and Ken Flores. You guys got your own little generation of, of comedy coming. Yeah, you're going off each other's momentum.
Duno
Yeah, man. Like, Ken was the first one to take me to Texas.
Yola
Oh, no.
Duno
And paid me. Like, Ken. He wasn't like, oh, you gotta earn. Like Ken, you. I was serious about it. And he was like, fool, you gonna earn? You know, And I, and, and I was, and I was doing my. And Ken's an honest. He not gonna lie to me. And he's like, nah, for you to good, like, maybe do this and good tips. You know what I'm saying? So. And that's when the first time I did that was like, my first little, like, comedy run. I did like we did San Antonio two shows, Houston, two shows, and then Dallas two shows.

Duno
I'm, I'm like, doing crowd work, but I do have a series of, like, X amount of jokes that, like, go in order in order for it to make sense. But I always add little in just it, depending on the city and like that. Like, I was just recently in Houston and I said like a joke that was killing, killing, killing. And then I went, boom. But I'll never do that because Waterburger is disgusting. And the crowd like water. Burger's terrible.
Yola
Good, right?
Duno
Bro, I was so high. Okay, okay, okay. Because she's from Texas. Look, look, yo, she's from Texas. And I try to explain to her like I was me basically.
Yola
Or Houston and basically it's not good. Both places. This I was so disappointed, bro.

Yola
In and out sucks too, bro.

And was in and out. Better than water.
Yola
But that was so expensive. When I was a kid, I couldn't afford $5, $4 burger. I ate that seldom. But when I did, it was with my white homie Joe, and he paid for it. I'd be like, damn, Joe, I'm glad you got shot in the chest and you're a kid. He's one of those kids don't play with the rifle. Got blasted in the chest, almost died. He gets money all from the government now he's 18 from the lawsuit. It's like, I'm so glad you got shot in the chest, bro.

They sell them like in rocks. Echo, Rockaware, Rockaway. All those are in Ross. They all fell off. Echo's coming back. Do you know that that was coming back right now in Zoomies?
Duno
Dude, you know what? I've never realized how much I wore it. I didn't wear it. You know what I wore Echo. You know what? I have one ugly Echo hoodie picture and it's terrible.

Yola
Oh, hell no. I look like any fool with a. I was about to describe this. With hats and a straight build hat, saying, what's up? Like I was the. I was hanging. Hanging out with the skater kids. I wasn't wearing the Echo Rhino and. But remember, I don't know, it was like a bunch of graphic tees all over. That's what I used to wear.
Duno
The one with SpongeBob on it? No, SpongeBob holding the money.
Yola
No, that I had the Chucky Taz Ice Killer. Remember Chucky?
Duno
Yes, yes.
Yola
I had that shirt. My aunt gave me it for my senior graduation. I have no idea why she gave me that. It was.
Duno
She probably got it and she. It don't fit.
Yola
For real? She was as big as me too. That. What the we talking about? Oh yeah. I wasn't gay anymore.
Duno
Yeah. Yeah.
Yola
Whataburger's not good. It just wasn't good.
Duno
But it's so. But in and out. Okay, if you were to stop being Gay. If I was go back to eating meat, would you choose and. And for you could buy one establishment to make you a lot of money.
Yola
The looks cool. And I with the fact they got two drive through lines in case A is taking forever.
Duno
No, they're just fatter in Texas. Maybe that's why they fat over there.
Yola
Yo, I gotta be honest. There was a big in Texas.
Duno
You know what? When I'm in Texas, I don't feel bad being that big. That was way bigger.
Yola
But in Dallas, like, downtown, it's nothing but runners and people and the athletes. I'm like, where's all the fat people at?
Duno
Yeah, because, you know, they say it's like the most unhealthiest, the fattest I've ever done in Texas was with Ken. What we landed. We. And you know, we can. There's no regular car. We can. You know that, right? Like suv that only. Which is dope for me because. And then we go straight to a barbecue spot that he loves and he orders just like. Like, he orders like the tray.
Yola
Oh, the platter.
Duno
The platter. I'm like, ken, there's four of us shift. It says for a family.
Yola
Oh, so get two is what you meant.
Duno
Bro, what we ate so good. So I don't care. That's just.
Yola
That's the fattest.
Duno
That's one of the fattest.
Yola
What's the fattest? You know, I mean, we're like, I hope no one sees what I'm eating.
Duno
Oh, oh, eating or just fat?
Yola
Just being a fat. Eating something going, I know I shouldn't eat this. And I hope no one else is here. Like some fat where, you know, like, just drink water.
Marty
How you were saying you got to put a hole in the pancakes and then you infuse.
Yola
See, that's baller, though. That's the way to eat pancakes. You put little holes in your pancake and then you put the sear so it soaks in.
Duno
Oh, yeah, yeah. Because then everything gets it. I used to do that in high school. My coffee cakes put milk.
Yola
Oh, okay, never mind. I was like, you put syrup on coffee.
Duno
No, no, no. With milk. You just poke a hole in that prison and then just doing spreads. In high school. Nah, I would poke a hole and then put milk, and now the bottom of it is wet too. Oh, I get it. You know what I'm saying? That was gas though, cuz now you're eating like it's a cereal. Yeah. If we went from coffee cake to tres leches real fast, you know what I'm saying?
Yola
Oh, I'm dumb. You're, you're right.
Duno
You know what I'm saying? Yes.
Yola
You are not wrong. That sounds bomb.
Duno
And it's gas because ter les is trash.
Yola
See, that's not that fast.
Duno
I'm not a fan of ter lens.
Yola
I've had two that I liked as a Latino.
Duno
I, I, I've had two.
Yola
They're good. Some of them are good.
Duno
Give me an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. I'll be all right. Let's, let's just. It's a real thin line of what I like.
Yola
It's a thin line of shitty or good.
Duno
Exactly. There's no in between.
Yola
There's no.
Duno
It was all right.
Yola
Yeah. I've had two. Is this, this is what it's supposed to be like?
Duno
Yeah. And then there's shitty.
Yola
Yeah. There's trash where it's just milk. Like, there's on top of jello cake.
Duno
Like a quinceanera's. Every cake is trash.
Yola
I never eat the cakes of kings. Really? I don't know.
Marty
Are they different than regular cakes?
Duno
No, because it's, it's, it's supposed to be like a look, it's like when a girl becomes a woman, you know?
Yola
I'm saying it's an excuse for messages get faded. That's all the it is, bro.
Duno
But it's like the last fourth of July.
Yola
What do Mexicans celebrate fourth of July? They just want to get faded, bro. And blow up.
Marty
Yeah.
Yola
Every Mexican in the world blows fireworks.
Duno
Everyone. If we become Muslim. Real fast.
Yola
Muscle. Real fast. No, but no. Some fat. That's, that's, that's smart.
Duno
I'm trying to think, I'm trying to think of, like, the fat, like, why I'm eating right when that's do with food.
Yola
Like, here's my example.
Duno
I'm okay.
Yola
Oh, you got it?
Duno
Yeah, I think.
Yola
Please go.
Duno
I order multiple in case I don't like what I originally. That's normal.
Yola
That's a normal adult thing to do. I do that sometimes. Doesn't look great, but I want to try. No.
Duno
Yes.
Marty
You actually leave it and don't.
Duno
I'll take bites of it and go. I don't really. I just, I recently I did, I did some fattest ever. I had originally bought a cup of noodle at the hotel I was at and in Houston, I bought a cup of noodle and I walked over to get the hot water from, like, the spot or whatever, and I was like. And I was like, hey, man, is y'all kitchen open? She's like, yeah. And I was like, cool, can I have a sandwich? And she's like, yeah. And I'm like. And I'm like, what are you guys known for, though? She liked the wings. I'm like, I also take the wings. They come with combo. I'm like, I can't have myself. She's like, yeah, but you're already paying. And I was like, I'll take the combo. So I had two sparkling waters, wings and fries, a sandwich and fries, all sides. And then I had my cup of noodle.
Yola
Isn't that up? You're trying to be good.
Duno
The sandwich was mid ate half of it, but it was mid ate some wings. I was over it. Warmed up the cup of noodles still and ate the whole thing.
Yola
Hey, man, that's not too bad.
Duno
That's fat, though.
Yola
That's not crazy, though. Like, I got you.
Duno
I got you.
Yola
I'll make you feel better.
Duno
Okay, Go ahead.
Yola
I grew up very poor, and I lived with my grandpa. And senior year, this fool was just motorcycle tripping it with his homies. He got a new girlfriend, he was bought a truck, he was ball and just never home. So that means there's no food in the house because I don't have money to buy groceries. I'm not gonna bug him. Billy, before you leave, can you put food in the fridge? I'll just deal with it. I have a job. I'll eat at school or work or something, Right?
Duno
Yeah. And plus, he's not your dad.
Yola
He's just not my dad. And I'm living in his house. I'm not gonna ask him to also help me out.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Even though he would have. I just felt weird.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
But I remember went to the fridge, I'm like, okay, there's a lot of blue on that bread. I can't eat that bread. All right. And I found some bread. I'm like, all right, the ends of these breads. Let's go. And I found some cheese. And I was like, all right, piece of cheese. And I just put barbecue sauce on and ate it. And I was like, this is the fattest.
Duno
That's.
Yola
That's poor.
Marty
That's not factual.
Yola
Well, it was bad because I was like, bro, I could just do something else.
Duno
You're all like, kenny.
Yola
Yeah. It was like, kenny. I was straight up Kenny McCormick, bro. Just fat. As I was the fattest poor starving kid you've ever met in your life.
Duno
Yeah. Yeah. Because earlier, right now that you said you don't need me, I was like, thinking to myself, like, why Are you still big?
Yola
You.
Duno
You know what I'm saying?
Yola
Like, oh, I think you know what it is? I stopped being vegan, dude. I think being. I think being vegan's unhealthy. I have gotten. I've gained 85 pounds since I went vegan. Being vegan gained 85. Why? Because I'm like, why don't eat cheese? Let me try this other cheese. And that's just more processed than the cheese I would have ate in the beginning.
Duno
Wow.
Yola
Does that make sense? And then I'm like, why don't me? I could eat more bread because I'm hungry. I'm just gain weight that.
Duno
I'm glad that you're, like, gay a little bit with, like, the shit you do with food, but you don't judge us for our living. Because I hate meeting, like, gay vegan foods, and it just works. Why are you mad? Like, why are you so mad at me?
Yola
I can't stand it, bro. They're lame. Like, they're so lame. Like, you shouldn't be eating that well. You. You don't have to care about it.
Duno
Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. Do you think when your friends would come to your house, they'll sing the song like, indigenous like Carmen?
Yola
No. We all were poor. All poor as.
Duno
Dude, when I first saw that episode, I went to my poor homies. I was house. And like, just. I think that's where, like, as being a comic comes out.
Yola
Just.
Duno
I remember I was walking me and all these were walking. And he would never invite us. He was poor. But I was like, I'm pull up. What the. You're allowing me. I don't give a. If you don't have a couch, you know, we'll sit on the floor together.
Yola
Yeah. Yeah.
Duno
And I'm walking in there, and I remember seeing that episode and then. And then just like, indicated.
Yola
You know what's worse? When you find somebody, like, you're worse off than us. That's up. Yeah, I found it. I won't say his name, but we our school bought his family at washer and dryer.
Marty
Damn.
Yola
Yeah, Kids stunk so bad.
Duno
Damn. That's up.
Yola
Nah, dude, he's in my class. I could smell that full from, like, a row over. Yeah, it was bad.
Duno
Was it because there was no water? Because there was no soap?
Yola
They had no washer and dryer. Because how are they gonna go to the laundry washing machine? They don't have no money. They're like, like, this poor, like, brand new from, like, Laos or some Brand new family.
Duno
Oh, from like. Oh, from like one of the little countries.
Yola
Yeah, yeah. And I was like, damn, dude, you're worse than us. That sucks. It's like a year house that sucks. So like when you put in perspective like, you know what? At least you had barbecue sauce to put on it. Because I have met some fools like, damn, there's barbecue sauce and old mayonnaise in my fridge at least.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Frozen packs of hot dogs, something.
Duno
Frozen pack of hot dogs. Wow.
Yola
You unthaw them in the hot water and they'll stay together and then you just start cooking them until they.
Duno
There's nothing better than boiling a hot dog at your house.
Yola
It smells like that's boiling hot dog water. Smells like girl scout cookie weed to me. I always could describe it as that.
Duno
Wow.
Yola
The original like the form cut smells like hot dog water. Boiling peppy breath puppies.
Duno
One of his favorite weeds and you.
Yola
It up hot dog water. It was like hot dog water.
Duno
Hey, I. You know what? I was gonna text you when I saw this review about all the weeds that are coming out when. When all the pesticides and everything.
Yola
Oh, I saw that.
Duno
Were you, were you, were you mad at your. At your people, your culture?
Yola
Most of these people that own these companies don't even smoke bulls. They're just money people. So they're not even our culture anyway. But what I did see, cuz like that stizzy company. Yeah, you know Stizzy.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yola
I was contract with these guys the day it came out. I was going to do a video for him and I'm like, yo, I know, like, I'll send you your money back if you're not gonna like, we're not gonna do this video. I was like, can you put a statement out can you put a statement out talking about this? It's been six months and they have ghosted me and I'm like, I'm not gonna work with you guys if you don't put a statement out talking about this.
Marty
Are they still a big brand that people?
Yola
They're still a big brand, but you have not hit me back one time and I do not work with them anymore. And I've have your money back, bro. I already signed that pissed me. I already got it all set up. Oh, I was so mad, dude. I was on the way to do the video across town and then that article came out and went, well, I'm gonna wait on this.
Duno
Yeah. Because that article came out and I commented, damn, might as well smoke meth, dude. All the way. People Were like, you don't know nothing, you fat. I'm like, fool, I didn't.
Yola
I'm kidding. There's no kidding.
Duno
Like, it was like, it wasn't my far. Like, get your together.
Yola
70 of those people aren't real community people. But the 30 that are, they're still tainted. They're still tainted right now. Yeah, it's. It's a way you talk about it. If they would have came out like, bro, we up. Our shit's dirty. We're going to reevaluate everything. We're just going to take a month off and redo everything because this should not be happening. Done. That's all I need from you.
Duno
What's the car. What I heard is that they gave the wrong batch to the FDA or. Well, not the fda. The. It was dirty.
Marty
You think a lot of these companies are, like, tightening up now?
Yola
I hope so, dude, because that's scary.
Duno
Either tightening up or they're buying good reviews. They. They're dropping money on whoever. Because as. As, like. Because you guys, like, when I think about real weed smokers, I think of people like.
Yola
Like, you.
Duno
Like, I've seen you look at weed and you ign. You, like, treat it like when the first newborn baby comes out. Oh, yeah, yeah. You're like, wow, wow. So beautiful. But you ever see ugly baby? You're like. And I feel. I've seen you do that with weed before. Like, where you get a nugget. You're, like, even pointing at the light. Like, if God's gonna tell you a sign or something.
Yola
They. They do is mold. No, you're good.
Duno
Yeah. And see one of these joints, and then. And then there's people, like, some of my homies that would be like, should I take the bad. Bad shooting? I'll run a bubble. So. So that's what I'm saying. Okay. So can I review one of these weeds? Okay. This is amazing. Is this a you? Is this yours?
Yola
No.
Duno
Okay.
Yola
This is my homies brand.
Duno
Okay. Can I be honest?
Yola
Go ahead. Try it out.
Duno
Okay. Well, I'm not gonna smoke it.
Yola
How are you gonna review it?
Marty
Look at the joint.
Duno
I just want to look at the joint.
Yola
It's gonna be a little brown. I'll tell you that right now. Can I get another joint?
Duno
I don't smoke.
Yola
I know that. I know you don't.
Duno
Were you. Were you. Were you, like, a little excited that I was about to smoke with you?
Marty
I was.
Yola
Right now I was thinking, though, there's no way he's about to try this.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Wow.
Duno
See, like great joint. You know what I'm saying?
Yola
Plastic's pretty plastic, you know, see through plastic. All right.
Duno
Yeah. If I have to use my teeth to open it.
Yola
That's all. You can't say it is kid. Safe.
Duno
Yes. Great branding.
Marty
Oh, that's the fact.
Duno
The stickers a little off.
Yola
You're right.
Duno
You're right.
Yola
The sticker's not symmetrical.
Duno
Not symmetrical. Maybe too many words in one little space. But I love the. The mountains in the back. Reminds me of Ryoma. Japanese. It's Korean. You should make your next brand name it Ryoma no Kamikaze. We'll name it the Bomb. The Bomb or the plane.
Yola
Like the bomb will have a guy hanging out a window. Like that.
Duno
Exactly. And then the sign, the background will be.
Yola
That's pretty racist.
Duno
You want one of these? Can I give one?
Yola
Of course. But you smoke. But you don't smoke.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Stick for you. Hell yeah. Double the amount of weed. There should be lighters on in this room too. Marty, can you help me out, you father of three? I can't open that.
Duno
That's what I'm saying. Let's see.
Yola
I can't open it.
Duno

Yola
I promise.
Duno
Because. Because there's dirty wheat smokers. Because I see your house and I'm like, I could sleep there and I won't get secondhand smoke.
Yola
Yes.
Duno
But I've been to other houses and I'm like being here, I might die and I'm gonna go home and it's gonna smell.
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
Like, I hate when. I hate when I go like, I smoke cigarettes sometimes when I'm drunk.
Yola
Oh.
Duno
And when I wake up in the morning, I'm like, this sucks.
Yola
Do you smoke cigarettes because you're drunk and you want to smoke something?
Duno
Yes.
Yola
Do you ever smoke weed?
Duno
No. If you want to know. You know what's crazy? Like about like six months ago, my homie said that we're getting drunk and like in like in like some dead. And we grew up kicking it out with just all the homies having a kickback. We're bumping from the whip and. And they said that I hit the NAS balloon because I was drunk. And I was like, you're lying. And they're like, I was gonna record it, but everybody got mad at me for doing that. And I'm like, you should have recorded because I wanted to. And they saw yourself do it. And they also. There's like a myth going around in my friend group that I hit the blunt when I was blacked out drunk off the Migos. And I was like, there's no way that's THC water. I'm a. I went all day.
Yola
Rush. I gotta look up who they are now.
Duno
Dude, they're amazing.
Yola
Oh, you like them?
Duno
Yeah. I can show you the song that I'm telling you that I was like. But I was like, oh, this is a song that I really.
Yola
With Big time rush, huh?
Duno
Where I have no idea where she's leaving on the plane.
Yola
Oh, the romance.
Duno
Yeah, the romance one.
Yola
Got you. So hold on. You've hit NOS balloons. So alcohol makes you do. You might turn into a hoe when you're faded.
Duno
No, no, no, no.
Yola
This was doing Some.
Duno
That was like, one time. I don't remember. And I think they're lying.
Yola
I don't think they are.
Duno
But I was like, I hit the balloon. No.
Marty
You would know if you did, right?
Yola
No. Whole other balloon. I should last a couple minutes.
Duno
That last seconds. Damn near. But the blunt. I was like, holy. I remember last time I was here. I left and I was like, damn, I'm high.
Yola
The last time I was with you was at your studio. I smoked the whole time. And you got high as.
Duno
Yeah. We had to stop the Internet.
Yola
He had to go wipe his face off.
Duno
Yeah. And I was like. And I was like, hey, Yola food. Like, you know what? I have the joint you signed for me at my house.
Yola
Oh, really?
Duno
Yes. Because I was like, roll a joy for me. And I was like, sign it.
Yola
Sign it. I remember that.
Duno
And. And you wrote it. And I still have it at the house. It's gonna be one day where, like, the world no longer has weed. I'm gonna sell that for, like, about a 50 to 100 bands.
Yola
I hope that day never comes, bro. I'm sorry for your finances. I hope weed never disappears.
Duno
It's like a fight. And he wrote, like, joint.
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
That's the first time I ever chilled with somebody. They got higher than I did, and they didn't even hit the weave. I was like, damn, this second smoke's real.
Duno
That is.
Yola
He was hot. You can see it.
Duno
And. And my spot was big. We opened the door, and my cameraman was like, hey, food good. I was like, you good? He was in the back like, it's a.
Yola
It's bigger than this.
Marty
Yeah.
Yola
And it was boxed. Oh, we'll say that.
Duno
And I was like, what the f. Like, you could smoke this much. And he's like, yeah.
Yola
Did you. Did you. You still at that spot?
Duno
No.
Yola
Okay. That burrito spot next door was dog.
Duno
Dog.
Yola
Trash.
Duno
Trash.
Yola
It's like this. That's how dry the beans were. I got a bean burrito.
Duno
When I tell you. I was like. I was like, hey, fool, I don't get that there.
Yola
You did.
Duno
And I was like, I usually get this, but if you. That's on you, like, I like, like, other. Other. Let's say that the bean burrito was trash there.
Yola
That means everything is trash. That means your water. Everything is bad. Dude. You can't make good beans.
Duno
You know what? I've had terrible rice.
Yola
If you can't cook rice, I don't. With your establishment. I can cook Mexican rice right now.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
While doing 10 things like it's rice. If you can't do it for your business, that's like me going, I can't roll this joint. I sell joints. What the. What I come here for?
Duno
That's how I feel when I do, like, weed product placements.
Yola
Like, do you do it?
Duno
Yeah. Remember I gave you some weed and I was like, I'll try it from big Cheese.
Yola
Oh, that's right. And then that was your sponsor.
Duno
Yes, sponsor.
Yola
Okay, okay.
Duno
But. But I was like. But I was like, if I want you to try this, let me know what you think. Honestly?
Yola
Yeah, I've tried it before.
Duno
Yeah? Yeah. You're like, it was cool.
Yola
I met the two dudes. They're like twins, right?
Duno
Yeah, yeah. They're not twins, but they look a lot alike. Yes.
Yola
What it was, was like, man, that's a bold choice. This guy has a see through mesh shirt on.
Duno
Oh, wow.
Yola
All right. He walked up. What's up, Big Che Go.
Duno
All right. I.
Yola
With style, man. You look like princess backup B. I like that. Yeah.
Duno
Cuz they go to the gym every day, six in the morning and do Cool.
Yola
Oh, I do cool. Can I. Can I put you on to something that changed my life? I'm on day six.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
There's an app that showed me how much of a fat piece of I am is this. I eat before I eat sometimes because.
Duno
You know your sponsor job.
Yola
No, it's an apple. It's called my fitness pal or whatever. It shows you. You put in how much water, how much, how much this, Every single thing you eat. You can scan the barcode. Every single thing. And it'll show you everything in it and it adds it up and it's like it's 12 and I've already ate. How much it. It showed me how fat I am.
Marty
Like the calories.
Yola
Calories under fat. I'm trying to stay under fats. Under this, under that. And.
Duno
And there's no.
Yola
You can do it. You can scan the meal. So you scan it with a picture and it go. It looks like blueberries. This, that, this, that, how many cups? You can put how many cups, how much weight, how much this you can.
Marty
Ask, chat, gbt, like also like how much calories is in this and that.
Yola
Oh, yeah, the calorie deficit. I'm at 2300 calories. Whatever. I used to eat that in like 10 minutes.
Marty
Yeah.
Yola
And now that I'm seeing going, that's why I'm fat.
Marty
Mind boggling. When you start to wrap your mind.
Yola
My veggie sandwich. I eat four times a Week cuz I thought I was being healthy. It's 1200 calories.
Duno
Because the sauce, cuz the sauce.
Yola
So this whole time I'm like suffering eating this trash ass veggie sandwich and I could have just ate something. 1200 calories. That was better. This app is changing my life. I'm at day six, but I swear to God. Or eat that.
Marty
But then you only eat a couple little things.
Yola
Thank you. I ate half my burrito cuz I'm like, I shouldn't be eating that much fat by the time. And then I'm over here, just stress and like I can't even eat that. Why would I eat that? And it makes me feel better though. Yeah, because you're like me, like I don't care. I'm gonna do good for. I'm gonna in the gym for eight days. I forgot to go. It's been four months.
Marty
As soon as I realized a donut's like 500 calories. 500 calories. Like 45 minutes. Sprinting on the Olympics.
Yola
That's how I think about now. Like, bro, what? 800 calories for this one sandwich. That's half of my day.
Duno
I'm being skinny.
Yola
I mean, be skinny is not fun. Yeah, being healthy sounds like dog. You know what you got to do? Just lift your ass off and counteract your eating, bro. That's. I think it's the only way we're going to be.
Marty
Burns calories too.
Yola
Yeah, I think that's the only way we're going to be.
Duno
Have you always been skinny? Yeah, right? Like, like, like, like you could eat as much as we do and you won't gain a pound's.
Yola
Been a vegetarian his whole life.
Marty
I would get fat for sure. Probably.
Duno
Yeah.
Marty
Yeah, for sure.
Duno
Then you've been a vegetarian your whole life?
Marty
Except for when I was a teenager.
Duno
Yeah. Gayest podcast ever. How you like it? You like it? It's good. You're from Texas. Anything we give you, anything we get.
Yola
Oh, I like that.
Duno
Anything we give you is going to be way better.
Yola
Here, try this. Try this right here.
Marty
I just got like my blood done and my protein is great. So you can be vegetarian.
Yola
And it came back white as. That's all I said, white as.
Duno
It came back. Like weed and coffee.
Yola
We did broccoli.
Duno
Hey, hey, hey. When you smoke weed, do you also drink coffee at the same time?
Yola
Coffee?
Duno
You don't like coffee?
Marty
Hand in hand.
Yola
He loves.
Duno
Yes, loves. I love, I love, I love seeing people smoke cigarettes and your coffee at the same time. Oh, I wish the coolest ever. Because it's like. And. And there's like. People understand. It's like a strategy to it. Like the. Like, you was probably like the joint here and the coffee here.
Yola
Oh, and people hold at the same time. I feel like they're so adult when they do that.
Duno
So first the acid in the coffee sip like that.
Yola
And they got a mustache. I feel like those people are mean.
Duno
No, I feel like those people are their. Their life is better than ours. You know, old white man with.
Yola
With flannel.
Duno
With a flannel. And then the. His jeans up to right here. A small little belt. A newspaper here. Oh, coffee and a cigarette.
Yola
Yeah. My grandpa Tom, that mother.
Duno
That gotta be one of the most interesting people of all time. He didn't have to tell you why it's wrong to be like. Like. Like he's homophobic, but also accepts people for who they are. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's.
Yola
Yeah, you describe. You just described a lot of. A lot of people right now.
Duno
Yeah, man, I wish I liked coffee.
Yola
Man, because I don't drink. I just realized I don't drink caffeine. That's why I'm always tired and just smoke weed all day.
Duno
You don't like coffee at all, though?
Yola
Smells like. Tastes like.
Duno
But you know what? It is a cleanse, though. Like, if you drink in the morning, you gotta right away. Yeah. And it digests your body.
Yola
That's what I Miami, those cavacito things. A little espresso shots that everyone drinks five times a day. I'll drink that because it's just a shot. I don't want to taste that nasty ass at all.
Marty
It's good that you're not addicted to coffee.
Duno
Yeah, that is it.
Yola
I'm addicted to anything but this. I don't think I'm addicted. I don't smoke for days.
Marty
Coffee turns my brain out.
Yola
Yeah, you take.
Duno
You take like, breaks sometimes?
Yola
I don't think it's a break on purpose. It's just like sometimes like, I haven't smoked at all today.
Duno
Weird. What about dabs? Do you. Do you.
Yola
Same thing?
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Takes more effort to go dab than it does to smoke a joint because you got to go clean it. This timer, scrub this, dunk it, Cap. There's 15 things. No, I got a thing where you just put it on a piece and it heats it and keeps it hot, and then you just take it off and dab.
Duno
Amazing, dude.
Yola
No more torch.
Duno
I never realized how much expensive weed products are.
Yola
Very expensive.
Duno
It's stupid. The. That bong and this bong hits the same.
Marty
Yeah, it's.
Yola
You're right.
Duno
See that. See this is. This is a You. This is what I'm saying. This is a conversation. I was like, okay, why?
Yola
Why I always agree with that because people always talk to me saying, you, you smoke china glass. China glass is like saying the trash of trash. Like, damn Chinese glass. It's dog.
Duno
It's like wearing shacks.
Yola
It's like wearing shacks. Even though shacks work and you can dunk with them, people just want to make fun of you for it. That's a good way to put it.
Duno
So. So China glass is. Is a no no in the weed community.
Yola
No, no. Apparently for. It's a dodo. Who cares? My weed still smokes. It still burns. It's still filtrated. I still smoked it. I still hold it.
Duno
So what's like the holy grail in the weed world? Like for bong? Like what type of glass?
Yola
Oh, there's a brand called sovereignty. It's what I started getting recently. It's like the heady bongs. There's a difference. I could feel the difference of hitting regular glass. It's the function like china glass. They're not going into the intricacies of like the function inside some of these glassblowers here. Like took me six months to figure out the way this functions. Right. And like it hits right. For a reason.
Duno
Wow.
Yola
But it's just like cars, bro. And it's like, yo, yeah, consider art on it. All that type of. There's. There's bongs, those liquors. What's the difference between those liquors? They both get you drunk.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
But a connoisseur might be like, well, Azul's a little bit better because it's made with this and that and done.
Duno
What that, what that I agree with. I think with liquor might be. I think whatever. But a six month box, a six month. It's kind of like drinking wine. It's like, don't get your. You jingle X amount of it. But a wine that's sat for 10 years and a wine that's had for five years, it's going to taste a lot different.
Yola
Different.
Duno
Yeah. They're still gonna get drunk, but that's what I feel. Yeah.
Yola
So yeah, it's only if you're a dick. Doesn't really matter or a preference. But some people will talk to you like you wearing shags. Exactly.
Duno
Damn.
Yola
It's not cool, bro.
Duno
China glass is a no, no.
Yola
I think it's fine, I got 50 of them. I don't give a damn. But some people get mad like, you're the weak. You should be teaching people like, no, you shouldn't.
Duno
Yeah, but teach people what?
Yola
Nothing. To be bougie.
Duno
Yeah, I, I, when I did smoke in high school, it was a cough. I used to be the guy that always had a, a joint. I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm getting high. This a piece of sick people hit her. Not like my dad, but like, not like my dad. When I brought a straight shooter to the ninth grade, hoes were hitting my straight shooter.
Yola
I mean, the chill and the one.
Duno
Hit, doing go straight in. People would love that. And you know what? The first time I ever fiend out on something was when I, there was no more weed. And instead of hitting the, you know, you know how you burn it like this, the parts here, the little holes here.
Yola
You burned it?
Duno
I burned it.
Yola
Oh, no, no, that's, that's like, that's some crackhead.
Duno
No, I hit the, the little horn.
Yola
To try to get the resin.
Duno
The resin?
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
And that hit it hit it.
Marty
So what happened with the weed for you?
Duno
There was just no more weed?
Yola
No. With you in your life?
Duno
I had a really bad trip one time.
Yola
Bad trip?
Duno
Yes.
Yola
Weed?
Duno
Yes. I got so laced. Don't know.
Yola
I do know.
Duno
It'Ll be up because it was in my sister's room with all my friends.
Yola
Did everybody else freak out?
Duno
No, but I, but, but, but I was like in and out of juvenile hospitals on probation. I had to smoke for a couple months. I came back, smoked gang of blunts, was taking sick ass bong ribs and I just got sore in my head.
Yola
Yeah, you just got too high and.
Duno
I just got too high.
Yola
And you just said never again.
Duno
And I said never again until now.
Yola
So. Come on in, guys. It's your whole family's here. Are you. You know what? I'm happy that never happened to me because it could have, it could have scared me off. I have a couple people that don't smoke because of that. Like, yeah, the last time, it's just too strong. I can't handle it.
Duno
And you're like I said, you guys are like rare breeds. Like you get high.
Yola
Yeah, it's different. Oh yeah, it's different when you smoke a lot. Like this is, it doesn't really do anything.
Duno
I, I, I get like, if I were to get, like I'm high right now, but if I were to get high, like, I probably just, I'll probably just sit in this do Nothing for like.
Yola
It sounds tight, though, to be able to go, well, damn. That's what this does. I don't have that no more. It's like drinking the fifth and going, well, that tastes like liquor.
Duno
What do you mean?
Yola
Like, I smoke weed. Well, yeah, it tastes like weed. Yeah, I guess I felt it.
Duno
Do you ever do lean?
Yola
No, no, no, no.
Duno
Never did heroin in a cup.
Yola
That's why I called it all the time, actually, because all my homies do. I'm the only one that didn't drink lean in my whole frame.
Duno
Wow.
Yola
Only one. They all talk. But because I was like, damn, you drinking heroin again? That's sick. Do you want to go to the store? That's four in the afternoon drinking heroin. That's crazy, huh? Like, nice watch. Drinking hero. I would talk. John used to sip lean every day.
Duno
That is wild.
Yola
But we made our. Our brand. We have the syrups. And that's why he stopped drinking it. Because he was drinking those. Because it him up just as bad, dude. Yeah, No, I don't drink. I don't like it, dude. You.
Duno
No, I've never done it.
Yola
I.
Duno
Because I like.
Yola
I don't like.
Duno
Because it's like. It's like weed. When you see foods like. Like cheating. Chong was a great reputation of weed, right? Like, they were so happy.
Yola
But then every good example, man, I've.
Duno
Never seen somebody, like, off lean. Just, like, productive. Let's feed the homeless. Let's feed the homeless.
Yola
Never in life. The saddest high was on New Year's eve. I was 20 to 18. I walked in my homie's house, and I was one of three people awake. And it was like nine in the night at night, and everybody just had a cup slumped on different part of the couch. Like, I'm not gonna come back here for a while. And I just left. But I remember seeing. It's like, it's. It's almost depressing.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
It's like. Like you talking about balloons. That I don't like that, bro. That I don't like that.
Duno
That was one of the funnest times of my life.
Yola
I don't like the culture.
Duno
See people black out and just like, fall on their face.
Yola
People watching is great.
Duno
Yeah. That's why I hate people that do cocaine.
Yola
Why?
Duno
Because there's no way you're degenerate piece of ass. He's gonna be up when I wake up after a long bender and tell me what the I did wrong. That's the problem with it.
Yola
So you have one friend that ruined coke for you because. What did you just say? Because if somebody wake up like you're up dog.
Duno
Like what? Like, like if I wake up blacked out, throw by myself on myself and I don't remember and you're sitting in the corner of my house like I saw it all.
Yola
I was awake.
Duno
So for you good. Like yeah, what happened? I was like, that's not cocaine. You on yourself, dog. Like why? Why?
Yola
Basically I hate being held accountable by that are awake.
Duno
No, no, I ain't being held accountable. My that are like putting up their nose. That's the problem, fool. Do all the cocaine you want in my bathroom, but don't judge my bathroom. You know what I'm saying?
Yola
Oh, you have some different friends. I never met no cokehead like that. They were just like, you want to do more?
Duno
And I want to tell one of the hummus was like, hey, for you to have any toilet paper. I'm like, why the do you care?
Yola
I'm trying to wipe my ass.
Duno
I'm like, I'm like, you went in there to do cocaine.
Yola
You have some friendly ass friends. Hey man, you're out of toilet paper. I hate you, dog.
Duno
You can't point out when you're doing drugs in my bathroom.
Yola
Him.
Marty
That's fair.
Yola
That's.
Duno
You know what I'm saying? Like, like don't.
Marty
I'm not looking for feedback right now.
Yola
But besides that.
Duno
Like, like, like did I ask you why to your stuff in your nose with white. Right? Like and you didn't even check. Right? Cuz the toilet paper's under the spot. I just got to refill it. Yeah, but you're stupid. You don't got no toilet paper. I love what the does. Was your nose bleeding and you need a toilet paper, you piece of. That's my problem with this.
Yola
What about other okay, besides the bathroom stuff, have you been around people that like, oh, you do a lot of code but you're fine.
Duno
Yes, all the time. Okay, but then, but then again the problem is like, like we'll be around. I'll be like, oh, this always goes to sleep. And I'm like, because I'm not a drug addict. I'm a gotcha. That's the problem.
Yola
It sounds like your friends kind of suck and not cocaine.
Duno
No, my friends are like amazing people. Okay, but we'll be around. They'll be like, ah, it's for doing okay. I'm like, are we being serious right now?
Yola
I got you.
Duno
I can't hang because I'm not on drugs, you piece of. Yeah, and then they never want to eat. Like the next day. Like I'm hungover. Let's go get all.
Yola
This is making perfect sense right now, bro. Don't talk about my bathroom. You're gonna wake up. I'll be hungry in a couple hours.
Duno
And you can't eat. And I become bomb. Because you don't want to be like and at all. Why are you throwing up?
Yola
Because I do cold.
Duno
You piece of. I'm not going in your house on the come down your 30 hours of hibernation. Like, why are you asleep? That's my thing about this sounds more.
Yola
Like a friend thing because everything you just described was some normal that happens to you. Yeah, but like that's not regular coke stuff like.
Duno
Like why are you mad that I'm asleep?
Yola
Wake up 7:30, get up.
Duno
So you could have prevented that. And then you know how crazy it feels like when you wake up and everybody's still at your house.
Yola
And it's like I've never experienced this because I was always doing more coke than everybody else.
Duno
That's what we should see.
Yola
That's the thing.
Duno
You don't know the opposite side of this.
Yola
I still go eat too. The see.
Duno
But see, that's a rare breed. You're also fat while being vegan. That's your body's a real breed.
Yola
It doesn't work there's.
Duno
Because I have homies that do hella cocaine and go to sleep.
Yola
Oh look, that's. I love drugs, but nothing changes. I can smoke weed. I could do coke. I could drink.
Duno
You'll go to sleep.
Yola
No, just. You'll notice the difference of what I'm doing because I'm still going to be talking. I probably talk more when I'm on coke though. I probably talk more without a lot more without waiting to like process.
Duno
I think I hate, I hate, I hate like. Yeah, because if you're gonna do cocaine, I wanted to be cocaine. Like when I was a kid. Like when I watch movies and I go back to movies.
Yola
Okay, what kind of movie? What movie?
Duno
Hope.
Yola
Do you want people to act like they want to get hyped up? Yeah.
Duno
And then I hate. And then I'll. Sometimes I'll bender and. And. And I'll put my body through a lot just to bond with my friends. You know, I'll sit there with them while they do lines and up their lives. But Dunoski's is still here. You know what? I'll buy the next pack food if even though you might eat the out the white claw can I'LL buy you food. And then I'm up in there, like, Then it's quiet and I'm like, you're ruining the experience of having coke friends with cocaine. Because I look at movies and it's like. And then it's my friends just in the. In the middle of the living room, petting the dog. Scrolling Poor dog. Poor dog. Think he lives with statues because they're always awake.
Yola
Just.
Duno
You know what I'm saying?
Yola
This is just your life. Everything you're saying is people so specific.
Duno
Because I'd be so mad at cocaine. So I'd be like, what the fuck? And then they're stupid. I have a friend. I did cocaine and didn't know how to use my bidet.
Yola
What happened? What happened, though, when he was sitting on it?
Duno
What? No. Okay, listen, I have a bidet. One of the best things ever for. Especially for a big guy. It clean spots we might not be able to reach. You know what I'm saying?
Marty
If you don't have a bidet, you're an animal.
Duno
I'm sorry. Yeah, it's. It's one, you save money from buying a hell of white piece. And two, it comes through. It just comes through. I got a bidet and one of my homie mommy full goes into my bathroom and. And you know what? I'm not gonna blame the situation on Kobe. I'm just blame the stupid, stupid, uncultured.
Yola
There we go.
Duno
Because, you racist piece of. It's not gay to have a bidet. Let's. Let's make that one.
Yola
No, it used to be like, damn, you are wealthy. You have a bidet. And now it's like, oh, you bought one.
Duno
Yeah. So we're. We're in there. And I'm like, what's up with this for folk? I tell my other homie, avro, keep in mind we're outsider. So if you're wondering about the name, like folk and ever. And I'm like, hey, food, check on this food. He goes to check, and he's like. And he's like, hey, fool, what are you doing? He's like, hey, I'll be back. And if I live in a little apartment, it's not like crazy. And this food comes out and he's all wet. He's all wet.
Yola
That's incredible.
Duno
He's all wet. I'm like, fool, what happened? He's like, fool, there's water coming out the toilet, fool. And we go in there, My bathroom was flooded, fool. He fled. And because his stupid was like, oh, what is this? Impressed it and it started splashing this food. He thought closing the top would stop. It would stop a idiot. So just flooded over like, like, like incredible. You've been there. You've been here before.
Yola
Sticky Bandits. He. Wet Bandits.
Duno
Yeah. I'm gonna strangle him too.
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
Have you ever like it and you clogged it and you're like, okay, it might go down after waiting a minute and you flush it again and it overflows now.
Yola
Have I ever had a panic attack in public? Yes, I have.
Duno
Yes. And food.
Yola
This happened at school.
Duno
This dumb piece of. Just flooding my bathrooms. Like, what happened? He's like, well, I didn't know how to stop before food.
Yola
Hey, help me.
Marty
Literally, he was just standing there.
Duno
He was. He, like, trying to stop it, you know, like a. Like a movie. F. You idiot.
Yola
Some dumb and dumber.
Duno
It's hard. And he has glasses. I. Stupid people with glasses. It's another one. You can't be stupid and have glasses.
Yola
Can't look smart.
Duno
But beat, though. Yeah, yeah.
Marty
Not just to hit the button that.
Yola
Turned it on or unplug the. It plugs in.
Duno
Yeah, but he. That's what I'm saying.
Yola
And then he did a rail.
Duno
And then. That's why. And then. And then. And then he came outside. We figured it out. And I was like, hey, man, go away. I'm like. I'm like, go dry that up. He dried out. He came back on. He's like, I'm like, no, you. No, party's bad parties. And then he did. He did do a line.
Yola
Incredible.
Duno
Incredible.
Yola
On the only clean surface.
Duno
No, no. And then I woke up and he judged me for going to sleep first.
Yola
It all comes back to me.
Duno
See what I'm saying? That's the problem with these things. Like, people that do cocaine. Just shut the up sometimes. And if you're gonna talk, be entertaining. And don't judge people for having regular sleeping schedules.
Yola
Right.
Duno
And if I ask you to go eat, just go with me and dibble.
Yola
All of Juno's friends. Listen the up right now, because these are all personal and directed. Yeah, it was. It was all a plea for like, please, guys, I want you to be my friends to still. But you're pissing me off and I'm hungry.
Duno
Yeah, dude. Like, if you're playing pool, like at 4pm you have a problem with drugs. You're am 8pm like, if you haven't slept all night, like, nobody goes play pool in the end.
Yola
Oh, that makes sense.
Duno
So you got to play pool at after 7pm if you play pool before 7pm you're either a psychopath or a cokehead.
Yola
You're not wrong. That's what I'm saying, you're not wrong. So you never did drugs? Never with drugs as a kid.
Duno
Never did cocaine. The best drug I ever did was shrooms.
Yola
How'd you like it?
Duno
Great.
Yola
What'd you, would you experience?
Duno
Man? It was one of the best. Man. Shout out. My boy Nevic, resting in peace. And my boy Muhammad, one of my first muscles. Not Muslim very much. He. He was the one that taught me that Muhammad was the most common name in the world.
Yola
Super bad taught me that.
Duno
Yeah. Really?
Yola
Yeah. McLovin taught me that.
Duno
McLovin that idiot.
Yola
So what happened?
Duno
So we were 14, best of friends.
Yola
Great age to do drugs.
Duno
We're in Culver City at the homie Muhammad's house and we get there and we're sitting there and we bought shrooms from my brother in law and we wanted to try it, but we're like, let's do it together. And Kevin was already like, he already like, like the Xanax and it was just him.
Yola
It's a young age, young age, you.
Duno
Know what I'm saying? But we did shrooms and I remember we did him. And I was such a, I was such a. And they were like, ate the whole cap and like I ate real shroom. They wasn't like the chocolate bars. Like I ate mushrooms.
Yola
So you ate a little bit while they ate? Regular dose.
Duno
Yeah. And then, and then I, and then I ate a whole cap and then I ate like a little stem and then it's like. And, and then we looked it up and it said if you drink orange juice, it'll boost.
Yola
Boost it.
Duno
Is that a real thing? Is that real?
Yola
I always drink some, some citrus when I'm doing mushrooms.
Duno
Okay, so we did that.
Yola
Not always, but, but usually.
Duno
And we ate the shrooms and it didn't hit right away and I just didn't want to overthink. And then the Homie Buddha and the hunger Rosemary were like, come kick it, fool. I remember this vividly. We got a 40 and MD and some weed. We'll meet you on flower and pico at the train station, the Expo line. So I walked it from his house. I just walked. I was like, hey, if I'm gonna take off, they're like food. You just showing. What are you doing? I was like, I went to true story word of my mother. We left. I walked it. I was walking down to the train station from where he lived in Culver City to the train station from the Culver City stop. Because back then, for now, they have it all the way to Santa Monica. But back then, Culver City, they were still building the Santa Monica's part. And I remember walking and it felt so far. It started hitting the stop sign. Felt so far. But, boy, I had music. And it was cool, dog. I was walking forever, but not really. I was still getting to where I was going. I went upstairs to the train. I got on and I sat there and the train was moving. My world went red and I was having a blast. Like, I. There was no worries in life who I was high.
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
And I was 14. Fool with no money on the train for free. It was amazing.
Yola
Yeah, that sounds badass. And you're alone.
Duno
And I'm alone. Best part about it, I'm listening to music. I'm either bumping Casey Veggies or Mac Miller. All right, kids. One of the greatest. One of the greatest mixes of all time. I get off on pico and flower, and the homies are waiting for me for a beer. And I just remember having this smile on my face. And I was like, you guys, I'm on shrooms. And they're like, well, let's get drunk. And we got drunk behind Staples Centers at the convention center in Pickle Union. And it was one of the best times of my life.
Yola
How simple.
Duno
Simple.
Yola
Some of the most simple times are the most fun.
Marty
Sounded awesome.
Duno
Yeah, man.
Yola
You can't do that right now. You can't, because you're gonna have so many things like what I got to do while you're on the train doing mushrooms. Like dance. Oh, my God, a knife. Hey, get the away from me. Dance. I'm hot. Sweat. Somebody shoot me. I don't want to do this. It's not the same when you have no money. When you're in your little kid, it's so much better than hat. Sometimes those little moments of, like, I'm by myself.
Duno
I've done that. I've done that in muscle relaxers.
Yola
I did do a lot of them, too.
Duno
I. I did muscle relaxers and drank a Mickey's. And I threw up for about an hour. Just straight. Worst combination ever. Look, I'm not. But don't mix any pills with any beer.
Yola
Supposed to. Ever.
Duno
Not supposed to ever. Like, that's just real like that. I literally threw everything up. Food, like, like disgusting. The. It was bad.
Yola
I used to drink Mickey's too. Little grenades. Mad dog or you said M.D. so Mad Dog. Two thousand and twenties.
Duno
Yeah. Mad Dog two thousand and twenties.
Yola
Red or blue?
Duno
Oh, red.
Yola
Oh, really? Oh, I'm going blue. Really? Oh, I'm going blue. I used to get one of each.
Duno
You know what? You know what? The red was really good.
Yola
It was good, but blue, I could just chug for some reason.
Duno
But I. I feel it though, cuz. Blue like an experiment.
Yola
Huh?
Duno
Blue look like an experiment, right?
Yola
It looked like the water from the water boy that he gives them at the end of the movie to bring him back. Just look like. Look like this color, but like neon.
Duno
Yeah.
Marty
Were they different flavors or was this like.
Duno
They were.
Yola
Yeah, Terry and blue raspberry.
Duno
Yeah, blue raspberry. It's the stupidest drink of all time.
Yola
It tastes like if you put taco vodka inside of Kool Aid. It was like, yo, not enough Kool Aid.
Duno
It great branding too. They had great branding. MD 2020. Mad Dog.
Yola
Mad Dog.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
I used to think I was this one of these pocket. Oh, I thought it was a man. Was there a green one? I remember I saw another color once ago. What?
Duno
That's just probably like a special edition.
Yola
Had to have been, right?
Duno
It was the most alcoholic drink you could think of. Off top of your head right now.
Yola
Everclear.
Duno
What the is that? Can I see what that looks like?
Yola
Ever clear. I used to drink it. I was like, ever clear. It's like 99. Yeah, 99.
Duno
99. Why the do you know you alcoholic drink?
Yola
You should pour inside of soda bottles and then just sip that. Everclear is disgusting. I drink with this kid named Scott Saint. Hilarious.
Duno
I know exactly what you're talking about. I love meeting homeless. I walk around with this.
Yola
It's only homeless that would drink that.
Duno
Only homeless and ten dollars.
Yola
Yeah, it's like ten bucks for that whole thing right there.
Duno
Look up Cisco's. Whoa. You don't remember that?
Yola
Cisco.
Duno
Cisco's. Yes, it was a drink. And they were like. They damn near look like little smearing off. Yes.
Yola
I've never seen that in my life.
Duno
My dad used to love this off meth.
Yola
See? Oh, so your dad was a method too? You told me we dabbled. You said you had the drugs.
Duno
Yeah, he drinks too, though. Drinks.
Yola
Same my dad. Same exact thing. What did your dad used to drink, though?
Duno
This. That's just that when he was off met, he would have a pack of Camel Crush do meth. And these were in my. These for you know what this. You know. You know what this. Every time I wake up and I have a kickback at my house and my. And My wood table is sticky and it smells like alcohol. I wake up and I'm like, my dad was here. That's the smell. God, I promise you. I've. I. I've been trying to look for them because I wanna.
Yola
To me it's. It's a alcohol breath and like after shave that makes me like so that my dad like get away from me. Bro.
Duno
Have I never showed you a picture of me and my dad? Okay, I think I got one.
Yola
My dad used to drink. We talked about this last time. My dad used to drink nothing but two 11.
Duno
Two 11s. Great beers.
Yola
You like it? Disgust.
Duno
BlackBerry 211 mixed into a 40.
Yola
You told me. But that's just disgusting.
Duno
Bro. I gotta. Next time we're here we gotta. We gotta get a BlackBerry 211 and a 40 and a cold 45. 40 in a bottle though. And fool, it's one of the most amazing things in the world.
Yola
I would rather do push ups and run all day than drink 211. I'd ra. Rather be pissed than drink too.
Duno
Really?
Yola
I got a six pack in the 10th grade. I gave that away. I drank it. I was like, my dad drinks this. And I was like, you drink piss? This full drinks piss.
Duno
Where would you get the real still reserve?
Yola
In the tall can.
Duno
The gray one. That's trash.
Marty
That's what we had.
Duno
Yeah. No, no, you gotta drink. You gotta drink the BlackBerry to 11. It's one of the most amazing.
Yola
You know, I used to love 32 Miller High. Lives in glass bottles. Remember those?
Duno
Look, look at this. Look, look, Look.
Yola
What?
Duno
BlackBerry 211, man.
Yola
That's literally what's in your hand. That's crazy.
Duno
That's disgusting.
Yola
That's disgusting.
Duno
For that clear. Boom.
Yola
That's not you.
Duno
That's me.
Yola
Shut the.
Duno
Fresh out of camp. I look good right there. I look. I look skinny.
Yola
Damn. You got a cigarette too?
Duno
And I have a cigarette. Dude.
Yola
Yo.
Duno
I'll send you this picture so you could be. You can add it to the pot if you want.
Yola
That doesn't even look like you're.
Duno
It looks exactly like me.
Yola
It looks.
Duno
I have sick ass tweaker hands.
Yola
You do. They're like this.
Duno
Even the pinky.
Yola
You're like holding the bottom of the beer all twacked.
Duno
Are extra safe to make sure.
Yola
Like when you hold your. Your phone when you're in the bathtub or you're in the shower, you hold it just a little extra tight.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
And.
Duno
And. But guess what the spot was called where I was drinking it. No, no. For this spot was like a generational spot in my area.
Yola
Oh, what's it called?
Duno
420 stairs.
Yola
Oh, okay.
Duno
Yeah. No, no, but it was just called that because of the vibes. There was meth going around, for sure.
Yola
Matt, that doesn't look like the same human being at all.
Duno
Yeah, man, I was. I was not.
Yola
The fact that you're skinnier, your face doesn't look the same. Really?
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
I couldn't even point you out of a lineup with that.
Duno
I look crazy.
Yola
I look identical. Skinny or fat, doesn't matter, because, look, this is me.
Duno
This is around the same time. It's like.
Yola
Doesn't look like you whatsoever.
Duno
A couple days before.
Yola
I don't even know who that.
Duno
Because I have a neck there, Yola.
Yola
No, not even that. I don't even know who that guy is. I swear to God. OT sent me a picture of him when he was young. Absolutely shocking, because that's me. Go. No, it's not. Who is this guy? He goes, that's me two years ago. Oh. Oh, my God.
Duno
See? See what OT is like, a good representation of, like, you get fatter and he got more famous. Like, you know, they like that. Like. Like that OT was cute. Like. Like the one with the dad.
Yola
That's not the one I'm looking at. The one I'm looking for is that he text that.
Duno
Yeah, See, like, he was, but on a porch. He was cute, but if I'm a girl, I'm not that. You know what I'm saying? And then you go to a recent OT and I'm like, I feel it. I get it. You know what I'm saying? H. Like, see, I'm that cracking.
Yola
Yo, so this turned into some wild right here, man. Kamikazes and gay sex.
Duno
Gay.
Yola
It's all right. It's okay. Yeah, that's what you want.
Duno
Who's the cutest guy in your world? Still, like, a random question.
Yola
I don't think I've ever asked that before. I don't think O's ever asked me to.
Duno
That's funny.
Yola
This was still looking for pictures of him with necks.
Duno
Yes, I'm. No, no. I was trying to check my crackhead dad.
Yola
Oh, okay. I'll show you mine, too, right now. My dad showed up to the comedy show. My dad, bro. The set for Ken, right? It's like, my first time, like, right, Nate?
Duno
What? Dad showed up.
Yola
My dad showed up. No, my. My real dad, right? One that does drugs. And I wrote the whole set before I knew he was ever gonna come and how 30 of it is him being a drug addict. Deal with it. And, you know, I was making it. I was making it fun. Yeah. And then I'm thinking, like, all right, here's. Here's this. And he was there on time. I just want to show up to. He was there on time. I was like, get ready. And he loved it. I was like, all right, good, good. First thing he said when he got off stage, there's a thing that happened. I was like 4 years old. Because he's a tweaker. He's like, you remember that? I go, damn. You remember that? Drug addict. I didn't think you remembered.
Duno
Damn. So you want to go see your first set?
Yola
Yeah. He went to come see that.
Duno
Was he proud?
Yola
Yeah, he was stoked about. Dude, my dad, he. He doesn't drink anymore and he's been up. So when he was there, I was like, this was faded. It's the first time I've ever been around my dad faded. And he did not bug me. He was normal stoked. It was weird, bro, because, you know, like, I. Like when I smell beer and I see my dad, I'm like, oh, my God, what's gonna happen? I have to drive and find him. I'm gonna have to make sure he's not dead. I gotta make sure he's not running around the streets and.
Duno
Because he's like, irvine just.
Yola
Bro. Yeah, exactly. No, he. When he left, he tried to chill and go around la. And my uncle's like, no, we're gonna leave. It's all right. It's like, dad, Thanksgiving's tomorrow, man.
Duno
Tighten it up, because this isn't impressive, but saying your son's a comedian is a whole different ballgame.
Yola
Well, it was just cool for him because he's like. Because afterward, like, I had a couple fans like, yo, hey. My dad's like, I'm his dad.
Duno
All right.
Yola
He's stoked.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's, like, the best part.
Yola
It was cool. And plus, like, it's the first time he's ever drank. And I'm like, oh, my God, please get away from me.
Duno
It was the first time in a long time.
Yola
No, it's the first time in my life he's a bad drunk. When he gets drunk, I can't be around him. He's the worst, bro.
Duno
So he was drunk and he was cool. Ah, that's crazy.
Yola
And it was at that. Thank God, right? A lot of potential. Real quick, dude. I was nervous about it, actually. It's like, dude, this school gets faded and Gets kicked out. He's in the front right here.
Marty
First thing, he comes through.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
I was nervous, man. I was nervous, but it was cool.
Duno
How'd you like it, though?
Yola
Oh, okay. Are you ready?
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
I wrote all this out.
Duno
It didn't go as planned.
Yola
No, I just want to do verbatim. I wanted to do how I wrote it. The first three minutes, I wasn't even listening. If people were responding. Nobody could have been there. I didn't give a. I was just trying to make sure I did it. And then I started not paying attention to what I was doing and just trying to have more fun. I just started listening. I was like, all right, people are laughing at least. And then I heard, like, this fucking older man, like, smack his table and laugh. And I was like, holy shit, let's. Oh, fuck. Yeah. And I started getting to the story right when I got in the story full and I knew a funny part was coming. I heard the fucking room laugh. Shut the fuck up. And it hurt. All I heard, like, a laugh. Like, that wasn't just a few people, but let's go. And then I just started sweating my ass off because I was getting too into it. I knew it. When I'm sweating, I'm already into something. Like, I'm.
Duno
I'm. I'm gone.
Yola
And I was talking, and I got to the part that was ridiculous about my dad, and I can hear his ass laugh through all these people, like, oh, damn, let's go. And then I heard the. The back of the room. The Irvine's big.
Duno
It's big as. I think it fits, like 550.
Yola
Yeah. Prayer.
Duno
Oh, no. You great. One of my favorite.
Yola
Because the laughs in the back, it sounds fake because it's in the distance. I've never. If you never experienced that. I've never experienced it.
Duno
Slowly going, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yola
So when I heard that, I was like, what the. And I did, like, the little punchline for that part and I heard people laughing. That was all it took. So happy.
Duno
Are you. Are you addicted?
Yola
It's so fun, bro. Ken's gonna hook me up with the improv here. I'm just gonna start doing a little 15 minutes. Give me 10 minutes, even five.
Duno
I'll do five.
Yola
Yeah. I'm just gonna go try and. And sort this out. Because one thing I'm not. You. I'm not even comfortable with yet is the crowd. We're looking at the crowd and going, hey, you are here. Yeah. I mean, because I'm just. I'm just talking. Yeah, you're not even there. You're just there because you're here. I'm not acknowledging that you're here. And you guys are crushing it when you're with the crowd. That's the one thing in my life that I'm not good at because. Or I don't know if I am because I've ever done it I don't like with people.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
I always feel like someone's gonna do some. So I don't really like in public. I mean.
Duno
But your advantage is going to be one, you're very well, like, very well spoken. You're very intellectual. So when you do start doing crowd work, your biggest. Your biggest thing is going to be maybe smarter than a lot of people in the room because. And, and, and, and not in a bad way.
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
But just like, I'm a good. I've been fat my whole life. My. Some of my feet as.
Yola
Oh. With my homies. You got to be careful. Like, it's in 0.5 seconds. I'm gonna roast the out of you.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Because I'm comfortable roasting.
Duno
So that's kind of how you got to see the crowd.
Yola
I know. Because, like, you're here, you're game.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how you gotta look at it. But you're also very like. Like I said, you're very into like, like, you know, a lot more than a lot of people do. And not random and. And exactly, exactly. Because most people live, they kind of like. It's kind of like a structured life. Your life's kind of like, yeah, I get high. And sometimes I'll go into deep in about Japanese kids named Ryoma.
Yola
That kamikaze work.
Duno
Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So. So there's things in life that people won't understand. You know what I'm saying? And that's gonna probably gonna be your biggest advantage.
Yola
Yeah. A lot of things on here. I'll say things, but they're one or two people comment go. Oh, Mike. Oh, you got that.
Duno
Yeah. Yeah.
Yola
You got that.
Duno
Yeah. Well, that's what makes you use. I think that's going to be your biggest advantage.
Yola
I, I'm. I'm looking forward to put this way. Five minutes in, I went, oh, okay. Because going up there, you're like, you're like me. Like, you remember when you first started getting fat, you had to cross the street on the walk. You're like, God, every staring like, damn, that fool's fat. Yeah. Every time in the school, like, I hate getting to school because the last walk across is between all the restaurants. I'm like, yeah, that's how I was walking up. Like, here we go. One of the. And then as soon as I had fun, I'm like, oh, I forgot. This is just supposed to be fun.
Duno
Yeah, that, that right there.
Yola
See?
Duno
Like, but. But it's gonna fool. Like, there's still stuff. Okay, so I've been killing it, right? I've been on the road, selling off shows, killing it, crushing it, getting better and better, tweaking little. I recently did the Comedy Story. I've done it before.
Yola
No, but like a. Like almost a year ago, right?
Duno
No, no, I did it. It maybe like, maybe like earlier this year. Like, maybe like February.
Yola
Ish.
Duno
I did it first with concrete and the Homie George Perez.
Yola
Yeah, this is what I'm saying.
Duno
I did it and then I did like a five minute, seven minute set was. Okay. I forgot the moment in my career. Because people, if you want to take something serious, you'll see progress in six, eight months. Yeah, I've been grinding this, you know? And then Ralph Barbosa, he did like a special pop up at the Comedy Store. Sold out two nights. And I asked him like, hey, can I. Like, if you got. If you got space for time. He's like, yeah. I pulled up, I did both shows with him. He put me right before him. Oh, it's like, gotta go right before Ralph Barbosa. And I did amazing. He. He with it. I went to the Comedy Store recently. When were we there? A week ago, on a Friday, Saturday, I think. The Homie George Perez was filming a special.
Yola
Was Funny bro.
Duno
With Eston Audio producing it. And then Little Mystery was hosting it. F G Wild.
Yola
Okay. That's his name. Little Mystery.
Duno
Yeah, Little Mystery.
Yola
I didn't know this. Just a little, little, little with the.
Duno
Yeah, so they're filming it, right? And I get there and. And it's. It's a second show and I'm about to go up and I'm. And the pressure hit me, like, oh, fool, you gotta go like you're about to perform at the Comedy Store. And they're filming this. And I go up there and. And I have this joke that I kill it with. It's about the party line.
Yola
The old party, like you call it.
Duno
So it's about that. And I'm like, it's gonna work perfect here. It's an older crowd. I'm like, the young.
Yola
They're gonna love it.
Duno
I forgot it when I went on stage. I flew away. Like playing a blank food, like right before Stage. And they're like, welcome to the stage, dude. And I went up there and I. I was so fast on my feet, and I had a great set. I. I got off.
Yola
Oh, you forgot the whole joke and just did something else.
Duno
Yeah. And then I just kind of played with other jokes that I had already in mind, but it was like, I. I was so mad. I had a great set, but I was mad that I forgot this joke that probably would have. I would have been like, this would have crushed so bad. I was so mad. I'm. I started a great set. I still had a great set about.
Yola
So it's like. I know. It's like playing Crash Bandicoot. Like, I forgot full four rings up there.
Duno
And I was like. And I was like, I want to go back, like. And. And the dude after me, great comedian. Edwin San Juan. Filipino fool.
Yola
I'm not familiar.
Duno
He has jokes, bro. That. And he's a quiet dude, but when he gets on stage, he just. He's a killer for, like. Like, who are your favorite comedians?
Yola
My favorite standups that I've seen per. Like that go to watch. I like Louis CK a lot, but there's so much that has to be done for it to be. To pay off. Like, his jokes are elongated. There's some other stories. Like. Like, it's a long, like, you know what game?
Duno
It's a. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yola
What special love. Anthony Jeselnik. Even though they're quick as shit, they're fast as hell. You know? Another comedian I saw that was. I'd never seen him before. I never watch his show. It's a show called. Come On. He's a Mexican. He's a Mexican kid. He's in that movie, I think Hot Cheetos or some shit. He's the guy that plays Creeper. The workout. He does workouts, but like. Like an essay. Like, he works out.
Duno
Oh, Frankie Quinones.
Yola
I don't know if I've laughed harder in person.
Duno
Amazing comment.
Yola
He has a thing about being depressed in Covet. That is so funny. It's. It shocked me on how many times he brought it back. And I kept. It was so good.
Duno
Wow.
Yola
Okay. That fool was one of the funniest people I ever seen in person.
Duno
Frankie Yanis is dope. He had two seasons of his show.
Yola
There you go.
Duno
That's hot. You racist.
Yola
The movie Hot Cheetos.
Duno
No, it's.
Yola
There's a movie called Hot Cheetos, baby. Dalomar's in it. That's all I know. Out of here. It's called Hot Cheetos and Papers.
Duno
He had a show on Hulu called this Fool.
Yola
That's what it's this Fool.
Duno
I like how you were like, Mexican Hot Cheetos, that movie that came out, man, come on.
Yola
No.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, but he's dope.
Yola
He's dope that, like, in person. Like, I watch. I. I seen Bobby Lee, but. But it sets the same every single time. It has not changed. I've seen it like, eight times.
Duno
Hasn't changed in years.
Yola
It's the same set. Yeah, jokes, but he's never so funny. Like, it's funny every time.
Duno
But I'm like, wait, has he never had a special?
Yola
No, he's never done a special before. He talks about he doesn't want to. He doesn't want to burn his material, bro. But it's like, yo, put a special up, fools will love it. I've been watching Bobby Lee since he was on the Mexican Comedy Network. Do you remember that? Channel 13. All the people would come up, it'd be Mexican comedy night every night. Yeah, he was on that before he had any facial hair. Before he's on Mad tv. Me and my mom used to watch it. And there was this one Mexican white kid that was the performer for all the Mexican kid. He was red hair and called him the Rooster or some. I used to watch that every night with my mom.
Duno
Damn. Damn. Surprising. I wouldn't think that's yours.
Yola
That fool was funny, bro. Just watching him, like, the cop he kept bringing back, like, yo, you got a great memory. I gotta stop smoking so much weed. I would never remember all that.
Duno
Yeah, I'm a. I'm a huge fan of a lot of white comics.
Yola
Like who?
Duno
Like, love Andrew Schultz, and Schultz is hilarious. Love him. I think he's my Andrew Santino.
Yola
Andrew Santino. I just saw him recently.
Duno
I always miss him.
Yola
I just saw him. I didn't know he's gonna be on the lineup. And he popped out like. Yeah, it's the pacing.
Duno
Oh, my God, he's just so funny.
Yola
Because it's almost careless.
Duno
It's his.
Yola
It's good, dude. Yeah, it's just good.
Duno
And. And Marcelo Hernandez, my dog. I just saw him. He's on snl.
Yola
Oh, I don't know.
Duno
I saw him. I fly to go right after him. Ken was looking at me like, this fool had me laughing for 15 minutes straight. And I was so mad because I had to go right after him.
Yola
That. That's tight. And.
Duno
No, it was tight.
Yola
Come on stage.
Duno
Like, wasn't that guy funny?
Yola
As I won't be as funny. But that was great. And then used to yourself, that was.
Duno
I was like, this motherfucker's a killer ham Concrete. I love Matt Rife. Crowd work.
Yola
Crowd work, to me is the hardest. And a lot of comics, like, that's the easiest. There's nothing to write, but there's got to be opportunity there. And you have to be able to, with this person, pick them apart.
Duno
Love, Mad Rife. Ralph Barbosa. When I first saw him, he wasn't my cup of tea, because he was too. He was high, super mellow. But when I saw him. But when I saw him in person and he gave me an opportunity, I was like. I was like. I was like, that's why people gotta go watch specials. Like, if you see a special on tv, go watch that person also in person, because you might find a different thing you like.
Yola
He's funny as hell. It's the slowest pacing, but it's not slow.
Duno
It's.
Yola
It's. It's slow talking. But the pa. It's like. I don't know how to describe it. Yeah, it's just on point.
Duno
Yeah, he's perfect. Yeah. Watching him, like, in person, I was like, that should change my whole perspective on, like, comedy. Yeah. Because I've seen like, like, kind of like Joe Koi when I. I see him, like, like, like before I met him and, and, and before we became co. I seen it special, but when I went in person, I was like, I love you more in person. Like, I understand why people laugh in person. You know what I'm saying? It's like, it's like sharing, like, Like Marcelo Hernandez. I've seen his kids on my phone and, like, it's cool. Like, it's dope. But in person, in person, he was crushing. Like, he had me laughing like he was killing food. Like, killing.
Yola
Because, you know, there's some people that watch specials. I'm like, like, Ali Wong was hilarious in person. She just popped up in the Belly Room or some love.
Duno
Hey, the Belly Room at the Comedy Store is dope.
Yola
It's small as hell, but it's like, it's.
Duno
It's made for like, sick ass Diddy's basement hunches.
Yola
Yeah, it's not. It's not. Hey, the Comedy Store is creepy as hell.
Duno
Creepy.
Yola
I walk like this on the way to the bathroom. I don't trust it and I don't.
Duno
Like it for the Comedy Store where you'll see random people.
Yola
Yeah. Even just going. I go to so many shows, bro. Not even doing comedy. I go to so many shows all the time. Probably like 30, 40 shows this year.
Duno
That's one of my favorite ones to perform at the Belly Room.
Yola
I've only been there once.
Duno
My boy Salt Trujillo does a show called the Dirty 30 every month, and he has just a bunch of comics and he'll fit you in. And that's one been one of my favorite shows. Because you're. Because you're at the same level. Because, you know, you're doing certain comic clubs, you're higher than everybody else.
Yola
It's.
Duno
It's at the Bedroom. I'm at your same level.
Yola
That's what it was, huh?
Duno
And you, you're just vibing full. You get a kick and people are just looking at you like, they don't serve food. They got cookies.
Yola
What?
Duno
They have cookies at the Comedy Store.
Yola
Oh, this will just say full serve cookies.
Duno
No, no, for they got cookies at the comedy stores.
Yola
That's an incentive.
Duno
Yeah, like. Like a cookie. And why watch a foot stove? I love that room. Belly Room is amazing.
Yola
Sorry.
Duno
How'd you like braille?
Yola
I mean, it was 600 people. I couldn't even see the back of that. It was not anything I've ever done.
Duno
When I did that, that right there was like a dope part of my career. It's such amazing, amazing room.
Yola
I just. What it was. I told Marty, like, I never pulled a mic out of a stand. So when I went up there, I went, all right, it worked good. So I was. I panic. I was like, what if I can't get this out because I've never done it? Like, that's the one thing I didn't ask about. I've been prepared. Everything else I could do. And then I got it out. Like I told you. When I looked up and I was like, I can't see the back of this room.
Marty
It's huge.
Duno
Let's go.
Yola
But then I got off and went on the side and watched Ken. And I'm looking like, ah, it's so much different watching a show.
Duno
Facts.
Yola
Like, it's. It's. There's no pressure. You just get to sit there and go do something funny.
Duno
Yeah, that's it.
Yola
I just made me laugh, man, because I'm here to get drunk and just chill. But, like, going over, like, right as soon as I got off stage, I went back, I smoked a joint as fast as I could because I was like, thank God. And I'm stressed for two weeks about this hopped. It was so fun, man.
Duno
Were you writing for two weeks. Oh, no.
Yola
Half the stuff that's been in my. I've been writing stuff for like, seven, eight years. Just writing pieces of stuff, just.
Duno
And that was your first time you.
Yola
Ever got on stage, like, doing my stuff? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, it was fun, though, man. Like, fool you.
Duno
You went on. You did the brand in front of 600 people for your first time.
Yola
Yeah. Yeah, it was a. It was ridiculous. Yeah, it was. It was scary. Dude, look at the. At you. It was. It was. It wasn't scary. It was more like. Like, I don't want to disappoint myself. Like, don't forget the. You've been practicing. I just wrote it out, so I remember it.
Duno
Yeah, that's.
Yola
You know what's crazy is, like, doing it. I don't even have to write it again. Like, I'll. Now that I did it once, like.
Marty
Oh, it's in there.
Yola
Now it's gone. That's all you ever need to do. But I will say this, dude, it was so damn fun. I can't.
Duno
Oh, it's different. It's a different high because you're. You're. Because you're about to go up. Because you were probably like, throughout the whole day, you're like, oh, I got to perform.
Yola
No, I was just, like, waiting to go. Like, I can't. The first time in my life, usually I'm like, I hope they cancel. I hope there's an unforeseen thing, you know, the building with everything. I do, like, my doctor's appointment. Like, I hope he calls and says he's sick. Anything. I do the one to go to the mall. I hope the mall shut the down when I get there. I don't want to go anywhere. Like, I just hate doing, like, I always life when plans fail. I'm like, oh, so sorry. Next week. Yeah.
Duno
You know what I mean?
Yola
Like, there's nothing better than.
Duno
Oh, that's cool.
Marty
Nothing better than cancel.
Yola
Nothing better than cancel on me. So I don't feel bad. But the whole day I was thinking, I can't wait to do this. And I never think like that. I'm always like, I hope it doesn't have to do it.
Duno
So do you feel like it's like the new thing in your life, like, where, like, you guys have accomplished a lot with this podcast and does so many great things and. Not that it's repetitive, but.
Yola
No, I see it as a. A way to let. Because right now, look, to be honest, the world looks at me and Marty like we're drug addicts. I have a podcast. Spotify looks at us like, oh, your podcast, sick. Everyone else looks at us like, we're not with you. If we get out on the road and start doing. I actually start doing this, they go, oh, okay, we're YouTube. We'll stop with you. I'm on my 32nd Instagram account, bro. Look, this is ridiculous. I get deleted every. I can't even hold a page. I can't do. So it's like, oh, what if this will legitimize it? And they'll go, oh, well, he's not just a potted. That's what I'm hoping it will help us with. Because, like, that aspect of it is the. And then I thought about people get paid. I forgot you can't make money doing this. I completely forgot about that whole aspect of it. Like, you get paid doing this shit. Because Ken tried to pay me after. I'm like, ah. He's like, well, I'm gonna pay you my. On this one. Don't worry about it. Like, I just wanted to do this. I can, like, have it in me. Like, all right. Because I told Marty before I went up, like, in 30 minutes I'll know if I like this or it's just something I watch, you know what I mean? And as soon as I got off, I'm like, oh, yes. What? Thank God.
Duno
Making money for people, for making people laugh is the best. Well, when my text be hitting, I'll be like, oh, boy.
Yola
You see what I'm saying? Like, that aspect, it just got in there.
Duno
Like, oh, yeah, dog, this. That is fun. It's such a different. Because I'm. I'm. I feel your same boat. Like, I was like, quote unquote, like an influencer kid. And then I would do it, but my skits were always different. It was real life. Like drug addict parents or like the mess the domestic violence video. Or like when, like, couples get into it, call each other types of like those like. It was real life situations that I missed kids about my whole life. And then I got into the podcast world and then I worked on a jumper we had. I worked on the radio. I quit that.
Yola
Oh, that's right.
Duno
Yeah. But people thought I blew my whole life away. Like, you quit power 106 and damn.
Yola
That was a short stay. That was a couple months, huh?
Duno
Like three months. And you know, like, I've done all this in search for, like. And then we have the community world now. And then brown by podcast and all these things, right? And I was like, but what's Gonna make me different in my world.
Yola
Thank you.
Duno
And I was like, stand up comedy.
Yola
And not even that thick standing company. Live performance.
Duno
Live performance.
Yola
No. I told Marty, nobody gives a if you can't do it live. You ever seen Led Zeppelin on here? I'm like, wow, what a great band. If they sucked in live, no one.
Duno
Would give a. Yeah. And. And a part of me was prepared already because of the brown back live shows we have done. So when I went into the world.
Yola
Those look like parties, bro.
Duno
Yes, they're parties.
Yola
Yeah. Those aren't even like, those look like parties. I saw you pouring liquor into somebody's mouth from the front row, man. I remember I told you, like, this is amazing.
Marty
Yeah, that was inspiring actually.
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
So we're up there and then I'm like, I'm gonna just try the stand up. For real. For real. I'm gonna lock in and I'm gonna do this. And it makes people look at me like a different. Because back then it was like, damn, you're part of some of the biggest podcasts when it comes to west coast media, hip hop, etc. Etc. Right? Like with just these great things going on, I'm. I'm doing all these amazing things I said as such a young kid, right. And that already made me stood out from like the influencer world, right? Like, like I'm really from the ghetto. And we really do these podcasts and we grind out and episode interview this rapper, this rapper, this rapper, this rapper. And that's cool and all.
Yola
It's always cool. Like it was cool.
Duno
Like, like it's dope and I love it. And I would never take. I love doing brown bags, Community World cheese, what we're doing, vlogging, it's all dope. But what else is dope about me? And I could see it now. And, and this one you'll start realizing because, yeah, people know you from being this dope ass podcaster that everybody loves and you get high with them and nobody knows more weed than you. But the minute people go like, damn for your kidding on the road, that right now is like my biggest thing. Like, damn for that comedy. Ah.
Yola
Like, yeah, we talked about you recently on like three episodes ago. Like, dude has been really doing.
Duno
Thank you.
Yola
Yeah, dude. Yeah.
Duno
Because you go from, yeah, like I was funny online.
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
And.
Yola
And being alive is so dear.
Duno
And, and then, and then nobody knock would be like, you're not funny. Because I'm like, yeah, it's cool. Like it's like music, right? It's selective, but city I'm feeling a. I'm like, I made you laugh in person. Now it's.
Yola
It's nothing.
Duno
It's a different. Because now people could be like. Like, it's like, oh, are you really a comedian? I heard that for years.
Yola
Like.
Duno
Like, are you really a comedian? And the first couple shows, maybe not, but, like, now. Oh, what?
Yola
It's just. Look at the way I see it is like a basketball team you were doing it with. You're doing a basketball team. Like, you have teammates on this podcast. You have this. You have social media. This is like being a wrestler. Like, well, if I lose, I lose. Who the else is there to play?
Duno
Exactly.
Yola
You know what I mean? But if you're the badass wrestler and you're going into every role, your match, like, I can't wait. Then when you're 70, you're like, Bro, I've been a wrestler for 40 years. It's been great. Exactly. It's been fun. Like, in 20 years, they're gonna be like, this fool. That's the fool from online. I didn't. I just thought, he's a comedian this whole time. That's why I told Marty, I want people go.
Duno
That's right.
Yola
All you do was weed videos. I forgot about that.
Duno
And. And that's my best. That's my favorite thing, where people. Because people don't understand that people also do regular shit and just go online. A comedy store near me or comedy club near me, buy tickets and just go to the show. Seeing white people on my show is the best thing ever.
Yola
Yeah, because they chose to come watch me.
Duno
No, because they don't know who the I am. They just saw a funny face, and it's like, hey, like. Like in Arizona, there was this white couple. And I was like, do you guys know who I am? They're like, no, we're from New York. We just came to the show. And I was like, well, welcome to. To a Mexican party. And we drank with them. And she's like. And I'm like, you don't know what the. I was. And then I said hi to them and went on about my joke. And I was talking about, like, Mexican. And I was like, you don't know how we talk about us. She's like, no. And I was like, you know, hawk to her, though, right? And, like, it was just simple, right? But it was just. I was kind of making fun of. She's white. The girl's white. And after the show, she stayed for the meet. And gre. She's like, we followed you good? We had a great time.
Yola
We.
Duno
I, I, I talked about like a gang, right? I talked about some of the chair that I have, and they were like, we, we liked it. And then now they go like, oh. And then they follow me and it's like, oh, you're also popping on this. But it's dope to know, like, they met me as a comedian. That's what I'm saying. Like, that's the best.
Yola
After I got off stage, the guy came up, what's your podcast show?
Duno
Exactly?
Yola
Yo, that was funny. Oh, my God. You have no.
Duno
That.
Yola
Remember what it looks like. I remember exactly what it looks like. I'll never forget. Like, it's the first person to ever say, yo, that was funny. What's your name? Show.
Duno
That's, that's the Philly.
Yola
Oh, I was so excited.
Duno
Yeah. Because. Because even like, when I, when, when I first started doing shows with concrete, he comes from online too, and. But he has a whole older crowd. It's a whole different world. Thank Mike.
Yola
It's 40s and up.
Duno
Yeah. It's like, yeah, it's, it's older.
Yola
Yes.
Duno
And be like. And they've seen people go like, hey, mijo, what's your name again? I'll be like, do know. I'mma follow you, mijo. You, you, you made me laugh. And they follow me is like, oh, this kid's doing online. And then now I'm not just the online kid. And then it's dope. Like, even like my first comedy group. Yeah. My first show ever. Traveling. It was like she didn't know who I was. Her friend brought it to the show. She didn't know who I was. She didn't like, she's like, I've seen a video, but I didn't really know what you did at the meet and greet. And I remember being like, oh. And then. And then she's like, oh, you were, you were funny. And then you stood out. Because I'm just a little more swagger than like, conquering them are like, I'm putting on like, the bell bottoms. And I got like, like bell bottoms.
Yola
You rocking bell bottom.
Duno
I look flying bell bottoms boy. Let me show you. Not right now. I'm wearing sweats right now.
Yola
You're wearing bell bottoms.
Duno
You don't with the bell bottles. Bobs.
Yola
Stop, Stop. Is that why I was laughing at Ken this morning, too?
Duno
Oh, yeah.
Yola
Like, what the hell?
Duno
That fat ass, fat piece of.
Yola
He posted picture of Selena with bell bottoms and he put Duno. And I was like, he rocks.
Duno
Bell Bottoms he put. That would put Selena Cross.
Yola
Yeah, something like that. Wait, what kind of bell bottom look? Well, those are bell bottoms. Those are tight.
Duno
They're not bell bottoms.
Yola
No, those are cool as bell bottoms where it does this at the end only and only phrase to cover your foot. Like old 70s guys jeans.
Duno
They're like. Well, they're like new school bell bottoms.
Yola
Those are hard as hell. I have a pair of those exact pants.
Duno
So. So like, I. This, like, because it's like, oh, yeah.
Yola
I don't have je. Like that.
Duno
Yeah. But also, this just ripped the button. Just ripped cheap ass material.
Yola
I get it now. Yeah. All right, never mind.
Duno
So then. So, like, I do dresses swaggy with bell bottoms on. Yeah. So then people were like. And she was like, I didn't know who you were. And then she's like. But I like, she's like, you. And it was one of those sets where I had, like, a great set and it was so dope and it was cool. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, it's like, it's. That feeling is different. Like, people are like, oh, yeah, man, I want to. Like, I meet fans now and it's like, oh, I saw your other video and I was like, I wanted your other show.
Yola
Oh, wow.
Duno
And I'm like, wow. And. And comic fans are like, that's the big thing.
Yola
Comedy fans start considering, like, oh, he's a great comic.
Duno
Comedy fans are like anime fans.
Yola
Oh, they'll tell you what the up.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
And they like what they like.
Duno
And they support. And when they support, they support like no other us. And right now with the wave going on with, like, young Latinos coming up, and we're all with each other, we might not be on the road every day together, but we support each other and all this. That is a good feeling. Food. That is. I'm glad that I came in the time I came in and. And I want to earn everything. I want to earn 100%. I want to do my five minutes. Like, I. I don't. I don't care how many. I don't care. A comic has a do. I've met a comic way funnier than me that had a thousand followers. And I was like, you're fucking killer, dog. And I learned. I like, I'm. I don't. My head's not big. And that's why I think I've been successful so far.
Yola
That's the only way to do it. Because if not, then, like, you're just.
Duno
A piece of shit.
Yola
Thank you. I Was going to say it nicer, but yeah, you're just a piece of shit. Like, it's kind of funny sometimes.
Duno
Be open. Like. Like in this comedy shit is like, it's a grind for. You got to earn everything you get. And I'm. I'm willing to do all that.
Yola
And you know, another thing I always think about, how close are we to these comedy. Comedy venues that I don't. What. That's what we tell Marty all year. I need to take advantage. And then like, if Ken didn't tell me to do that, I would have been like, I'll get to it. I want to try it. I'll try it. I'll try. Now it's just like, oh, so when's the next time I can do some? Yeah, because like, it was. I can't even explain.
Duno
That's just dope. Nah, man. If you ever see me, I have a show. I was. Where you from? Your former set? Yeah, I have a show in Fresno on, on the 21st.

Duno
Yeah. So they come to Fresno.
Yola
What time is the show?
Duno
Like 7:30, 8:30.
Yola
Let me figure it out right now. Because it's my niece's first birthday, it's the reason I'm going early.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, that'll be.
Yola
So let's go.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, that's you. And, and, and, and, and, and I feel like I got a brewery spot. Spot. It's like, it's like though, because they don't have, you know, like little cities like that kind of do shows whenever you do shows. Some little cities do have comedy clubs, but this one is like a dope spot. It's a big ass green room that they only serve cool beers, like IPAs and. Yes, it's cool.
Yola
Fresno. Yeah, let's go.
Marty
So many nights a week. Are you performing, bro?
Duno
I'm trying to get up as much. Like yesterday, yesterday I was busy, but my boy asked me if I wanted to go to the west side comedy club, which is, which is like a dope little club in the alley in the middle of Santa Monica beach, like in the promenade.
Yola
That's what's so Maury? I want to go to places where people go. Who. What's your name? That's what I want, dude.
Duno
What, bro? Those are the best, like, I've done. My host is a gay dude. His name is Narcissa. You'll meet him. You come on friends, though. 40 year old gay dude. That's. He's the coolest dude ever. Coolest. Most. He's homo. He's homophobic and he's gay.
Yola
What? So how does he hit on guys? Hey, I know you don't think I'm gay, but let's.
Duno
No, you know what it is? You know what it is? He's old school gay.
Yola
Oh, like my uncle Brian.
Duno
Yeah. He's not a w gang. He, he, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's, he's that like he might.
Yola
Chop wood and then like, yo, you trying to date one of those men?
Duno
No, no, he's definitely the girl. He's a he.
Yola
Oh, okay, okay.
Duno
Beyonce. But what I'm saying is his mentality so old school. Like, like, like, like he'll say, like, man, if I could take a dick, I could take a punch.
Yola
Oh, one of those guys.
Duno
He's a.
Yola
Those are the best.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
I love the gay dudes that are kind of like, like, oh, you'll fight me?
Duno
Yes.
Yola
Let's go.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yola
I only know one Pat. He passed away recently. But Richie, he was. He will beat your ass and then he'll. He might take you on a date.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was. Yeah. So he's dope and. Yeah, man, he just kills it.
Yola
And Fresno looks cool.
Duno
Yeah. And then, and then I've done it before with Khan and it was like cool. Like I, I and I. And it was a grind. Like, I drove three hours to do 10 minutes to do 10 minutes and I drove right back home.
Marty
What about like hoods and rappers for your vlogs? You got anything lined up or anybody?
Duno
You, man. Yeah, man, I, I, bro. Right now that like especially Southern Latinos in rap too, bro. They're killing like Lefty Peso. All these rappers just doing their thing, man. The vlog. I've been so I've been on the road. It's just kind of hard to sit.
Yola
There and want to vlog in between that and. Yeah, you can't really like clog up your work day.
Duno
Yeah. And then, and then exactly like, like.
Yola
It'S gonna go this way.
Duno
Yeah, yeah. And, and then what I try to do is in those city that I am in, I Try to go tap in and do vlogs with, like, the rappers from there. Yeah.
Yola
But it's also a second job. You almost need a second day.
Duno
Exactly.
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
So Chicago, I just dropped. I just dropped a video in Chicago with. For the homie Ko and he took us around, like, little village in Chicago. And he talked about, like, you know, in Chicago yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. And then I did a vlog with the homie Little Mexico from Houston. And he kind of took me around Houston, a different place and did a lot of different. For the vlog. So I try to kill two birds in one stone.
Marty
Yeah.
Yola
But it almost. I always for from you. Because I try to do that too when I go to other cities. Do you find yourself burned out when.
Duno
We burned down the important thing or.
Yola
Doubling up on footage? Like, well, we'll get the footage for this, but we'll use the B roll for this video. And it's the same.
Duno
Yeah. And then it becomes like, sadly, then.
Yola
You'Re splitting your views almost at a point too. Just like, you want to see us get high and go eat food? Or you want to see us just go eat food? Because we cut out the high part. But you was like, yo, I gotta do my comedy. I can't be vlogging until 8, 10.
Duno
Yeah. And then. And then I learned that. I learned that. Not that it was a bad thing, but I want to go visit some kids in juvenile hall in Oxnard. Huge fans of me.
Yola
So, like, on a jail thing or. Yeah. Can I come chill?
Duno
No, no, no, no. Come hang out with the kids.
Yola
You want some boys?
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Nope, we're not vegetarians. Don't worry.
Duno
Nah, they were like. He had like, this program and if he reached out to my. Wow. On my email, like, hey, fool. Like, you know, we want you to come visit the kids. They're big fans. I went over there, played basketball with the kids. It was. Oh, yeah. And then. And then some of them were my age because they're kids that. Because there's no more youth authority in California, which is like baby prison. They took that off.
Yola
Stop. There's no more ya.
Duno
No, there's no more ya. Exactly. No more ya. So all this. Everybody has to go to respect the counties. So those kids, a lot of them were like my age or 17, 18, that are probably going to be doing a lot of time, and I want to go play basketball with them. And it was dope, bro. We're like, balling up. We're doing our. I met this kid that was my age that's been Locked up since he was 14, my age. And. And he's barely about to go home. And he was the most calm, collective kid. And we're chilling and we're playing basketball. I was kicking with them for like two hours. But I got burned out, I got burnt out. And I'm not putting no excuse. Like, I still had a good show, but could have been better. I could have had a lot.
Yola
Oh, you did that before your show.
Duno
And then we're in Oxnard is a little. You know what I'm saying? Like, I, that's what I've taught myself. Like, try not to bring what's most important. That's why I love landing early. I don't mind leaving my house at 5am and we land in a whole city at 7, 9am and we have.
Yola
Eight hours to the show. I don't mind it always, always get prepped, bro.
Duno
Yeah, like, I don't mind. Like, so I'm learning that as I go.
Yola
But you can't film a vlog in between.
Duno
Yeah, I'll stay one more day. Extra, Extra day for the flight. I get to chill, do the vlog. That's what I've learned.
Yola
Because you're a comedian, you're not a vlogger.
Duno
Exactly.
Yola
If you, if you try to put this before, you're like, oh, I'm a comedian, I'm a vlogger and I do comedy. Like, no, you're a comedian. Sometimes you got vlogs coming in.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yola
Because what's gonna. What's the longevity? Yo, I loved your vlog. Or yo, your stand up's hilarious.
Duno
Exactly. So I've like Thomas of that. So a lot of like my individual, like, brown bag and the community world, that's like my. Sort of like my company. So I gotta still do my job.
Yola
Yes.
Duno
Which I love. I love it. I. Wednesdays and Tuesday. That's what I'm doing. You want to catch me doing anything that's filming Community Words and Brown Bag, but anything in between. Like, if I could go do a vlog at 8:00pm I mean, I mean, I mean, I sat. I said at 8pm or record a vlog from 5 to 8pm yeah, I'll chill right here. And I prefer doing this later on. And, and, and, and I hate driving, like, as much as, like, I love grinding and like. But when it comes to comedy, I'll drive and I'll. Let's just go, man.
Yola
You just like this. That's what it is.
Duno
I like it. I like it. I'm in love so I'm in love. Like, like there's nothing else. Like, like I hate being away from home. I get homesick super fast. But I'm on the road. I'm planning my whole next year. I gotta hit Miami. All these things. I'm like, hell yeah. And this dope I. I like, I'm like, bringing back home all the magnet cities I gone to. My mom's fridge is filling up.
Yola
Oh, nice.
Duno
So it's been dope, man, from I'm in love. I'm in love with you.
Yola
Seeing the country, bro, If I'm in love, what, and getting paid to go, fool.
Duno
I'm in love with the grind. It's such a cool grind. Like, it's. It's like, hell yeah. I'll be telling my homies I'm like, full. Like, this is. And then, and then it's cool. I bring my ghetto ass homies to comedy shows. Learn how to be quiet, fool.
Yola
Don't take a facetime while I'm on stage. How many times they done that? Multiple.
Duno
At the Comedy Store, Mommy. Matt trying to work. And I'm like, matt, you can't record. He's like, but I recorded you. I'm like, yeah, you stupid. Because I'm your friend. Don't record these comments.
Yola
You stupid bids.
Duno
Like, but we're like whispering it quietly, like, and then I'm like, dude, like, and then, and then. And having to explain to your friends that they come to my show. Food. The tickets are free. When I sit you on the table. It's a two drink minimum, buddy.
Yola
Oh, people don't.
Duno
Well, no, it was free, the two drink minimum.
Yola
Yeah. I can see how bringing ghetto homies would. Would really have to, like, culture shock. Because if your homie and you never did any of this and your homie brought you a show, you'd be doing the same shit.
Duno
They're doing the same what I. I tell mommies, pretend that we're like, at school and like, like, like, like you're allowed to be yourself, but inside just.
Yola
Like, act like yourself, but don't show anybody.
Duno
Like, one of my homies one time was like, texting a lot. I'm like, fool, at least put on do not disturb and put your screen down. It's like, I'm like, I'm not. I'm like, it's like watching a movie. 100 and I'm like, it's a. It's like watching a movie. Just you're allowed to scream out every once in a while if your tick is going off. Yeah, yeah, that's really.
Yola
You find that you start, like, seeing others. When I see people acting how they act in those public settings, I'm like, I thought you were a different person. I didn't realize you were an ignorant. I just found out my sister is an ignorant. Is an ignorant at movie theaters talking full volume to us. What? It hasn't started yet. No way. I didn't know this about Sheree, my sister. I had no idea. Talking full volume, making fun of things. Yeah, but when the movie started, she was like, that sings. I'm like, I can hear you four seats away. That's insane. I mean, I'm pretty quiet at these. I don't want to disturb anybody, but I didn't know my own family did it. I had no idea. Wow. I haven't been to a movie with her since I was a kid. I don't remember.
Duno
She's just an.
Yola
She kind of got it after a while. But there's a time where I didn't go. And everybody was like, she was talking full volume, and people had to shush her hella times because she was faded.
Duno
Oh, yo, I had it.
Yola
I had. I. This never happens, bro. I. I freaked out on some fools at the theater. I tell you. I got up and started screaming at these fools until they left, because then.
Duno
They shut the up.
Yola
They were talking full volume. I had my little nephew here. They were talking about skitting their dick sucked a bunch of full volume at a kid's movie.
Duno
What movie? Moana?
Yola
No, no. It's like. It was like a. It was a teenager movie. I don't remember what it was, but I remember he was 12, and he was like, let's go watch it.
Duno
But you're like, yeah, yeah.
Yola
It was like eight minutes straight. I'm like, there's no way I can hear this full talking about getting his dick. There's no way. I look back, like. Like, don't be that guy. And then I lost my mind on him. And he had his little bag, and he kept putting his hand in his bag. I'm like, no, don't shoot me in the theater over this. He kept putting his hand in his bag. I'm like, no. I was still cussing at him, but I'm like, oh, don't shoot me. I. I got nowhere to go, dude. It's the theater. Like, I can't get out of here. Yeah, but they got up and left.
Duno
That's an ignorant thing, though. Talking to the movie theater had, like.
Yola
Four people, four kids with them, and they were all screaming Throwing popcorn and. Yeah.
Duno
Then little.
Yola
They were like 12 years old.
Duno
See, that's. That's why.
Yola
Yeah. He was an Armenian fool. They're all decked out. Even the kid had Rolex on.
Duno
All decked out. Little.
Yola
He had all Louis Little bag. And I looked down, I was like.
Duno
The genocide money.
Yola
Blood money. All our neighbors just went like this. We're the only people here besides these Mexicans across the street that aren't our Armenian.
Duno
I was about to say I walked in a was in front of his. Yeah, he was, bro. I love Armenian people. They buy EBT while driving a Ferrari.
Yola
Are you ready for what? I think Armenians are.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Mexicans, before they go to church, they always dress up nice. And that every Mexican before they go to church dresses like Armenians on Tuesday. They always have a button up. They always have a nice watch. They always smell like cologne. And the gangster Armenians dress like wetback Mexicans. Have you noticed this? They all got big shirts on. They all wear J's, they all got straight build LA hats and like. Oh, you're Armenian. Yeah, I just heard you speak Russian. And this, this town.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Is all Armenian, bro. Yeah, I used to live here. So like fools look at me. I'm like, oh, you're not Mexican. Holy. Yes, they're Armenian. Big gangster looking fools.
Duno
Yeah, they're the best.
Yola
They are the best, right? Because they're gonna get me deals on cars. They're not going to shoot me because like they got to live for.
Duno
Yeah, yeah.
Yola
And they got nice cars. Our neighbor. I'm like, what? Armenians always got nice cars.
Duno
And, and, and they actually keep control of their women. That's one thing. Mexicans, Jesus Christ. Yeah. For their very, very, very. Are you. Have you ever seen an woman with a Mexican man? Rare. Rare. Why?
Yola
Why? Why would I.
Duno
One, because they're racist. And two, because they get, they get put in check. A young Latina is going to fall in love with a black man.
Yola
A young Armenian woman can only date Armenians.
Duno
That's gonna stall it.
Yola
You're gonna that Middle East.
Duno
That's what I'm saying.
Yola
Like I will grab you by your hair.
Duno
Yes. Instead of making wear robes. But stop. See, this is the problem with our society.
Yola
Right? It's okay. Hey man. Ready? We're kids.
Duno
Can we be racist?
Yola
Can we just say racist or we're just making observations.
Duno
What's the most racist you've ever said in your life?
Yola
Yes. I'm not gonna say that right now.
Marty
That's the title of the episode right there.
Yola
This photo said, hey, have you ever killed somebody? If so, tell us. I don't know, man. Because, like, my family's Mexican is. My other side's Jewish. Grew up in a Mexican town. I don't speak Spanish. I saw a lot of different. And my best friends was black as a kid. I was the one kid going, damn, you're just different. So I saw all of these things as a different kid. So I think I'm allowed to say whatever the I want to say.
Duno
I want to say, if anybody could be racist as you. Yeah, you paid homage.
Yola
And my wife's half Filipino, so now I got the Asian. And when I have a child one day. But look at him. I can say whatever I want.
Duno
Kamikaze.
Yola
Didn't you know that you're supposed to grab Asian kids by the neck? Like, dog. You're supposed to hold him, eat it. We just got kicked off his whole platform.
Duno
You know what, dude?
Yola
I don't give a. I'm over it, bro.
Duno
For your girl's mix.
Yola
Yeah, she's Filipino and. What, Mexican?
Duno
She's basically.
Yola
Basically Mexican. She's. She's worker Mexican. Like, the most worker of Mexicans. Yo, Filipinos work their asses off and eat feast. What did you say?
Duno
They feast. Like they. Oh, I thought you said eat feet.
Yola
That's what I heard, too.
Duno
Nah, they eat a dog. And it depends what side you're talking to, I guess.
Yola
So, like, my grandma, she. The cows. My grandma raises cows. Like, in the country? In Merced.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
But she rents to all Asian people, and they love to murder my grandma's cows and come chop it up and take all the meat. They do it every year while asking her. Yeah, they let her know they're not. My grandma gets a cow, but, like, those are my homies as a kid. So, like, when I first. When it. We talked. When it first started happening, like, these people are evil. And I thought all the Asian people right next door were evil with the machetes and come to find out. No, they're just. They're just butchers. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I didn't know that, because it's all Asians or Mexicans in my town. So I. It's one or the other in my town.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
So I've seen a lot of it. I've smelled a lot of different things. You ever seen blue chicken feet?
Duno
No.
Yola
I don't know why they got it, but they got blue chicken feet at the store wrapped up in little packages for sale with. With rice.
Duno
Do you watch the food? And on. On YouTube.
Yola
Which one?
Duno
There's this guy that's, like, white dude with a bandana, goes to, like, different countries and tries their food. They have this meal in the Philippines that is, like, a trash meal.
Yola
Oh, yeah. They get out of the trash. They rehydrate it, right?
Duno
Hydrated.
Yola
I've seen that. That's sad.
Duno
I wanted to try it.
Yola
That's like the kid that got the washer and dryer from my school. Like, that's how poor that kid was. The rehydrating trash.
Duno
It's like 50 cents.
Yola
Yo, hold on. We never asked this last time before how long we've been here? It's been a minute. I've been here, like, an hour and a half.
Marty
Two.
Yola
Two.
Duno
Wow. Great pot.
Yola

Duno
Wow.
Yola
Or I'm not say favorite. What are three comedy movies that you can watch all the time? Doesn't matter if you're like, I just watched that.
Duno
Step Brothers is one.
Yola
It's my number one, too. Keep going.
Duno
And it's like the. It's the line that. And. And you know what reminds me? One of my homies resting in peace. You'll be like, I'm not gonna call you that. Even if there's a fire. Rubber bread, and I get in my face, I'll drop that.
Yola
There's so many lines.
Duno
Simplest ever.
Yola
So many lines in that.

Want to be 25 next year?
Yola
That's crazy.
Duno
Step Brothers is one. I'm trying to Pineapple Express.
Yola
Oh, how did I know you were gonna say it?
Duno
Because my. I'm a 2000 baby. It's a great movie. And you know what? I didn't. And that's how. See, now that I'm. Now that I get older, I'm like, maybe I was meant to be a comic because I didn't love it for the weed part of it. I loved it because.
Yola
Oh, it's funny.
Duno
But, you know, a lot of people were like, oh, it's about weed. And it's a.
Yola
It's weed. It's about weed. Because we. It's just a character.
Duno
Yeah. Yeah.
Yola
The rest is just funny.
Duno
Yes. That one I'm trying to think of, like. Oh, dodgeball.
Yola
Good pick, bro.
Duno
Dodgeball.
Yola
You could dodge A wrench. You could dodge a ball.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
Yo. What? Remember when they killed Patches of hoolahan with the five balls on him and kills him?
Duno
And that's the one time I was like, damn, that was cool. And he drinks piss.
Yola
Yeah. Drinking urine.
Duno
Yeah. Yeah.
Yola
No, What a good movie, man.
Duno
It. It gets ESPN. Ocho.
Yola
I thought that was fake ESP. Did you know that's real?
Duno
What, ESPN?
Yola
No, that was ESPN8. But yeah, the Cobra.
Duno
What? When they came out and the rockers said they got the wrong package. Yo.
Yola
Also, he could have just got a bank load. He only needed 50 bands to save his business. It's a small business. He just got a little.
Duno
And then my thing is. Who. He put the pizza in his nuts. Yeah.
Yola
That always weirded me out.
Duno
Do you remember that?
Yola
Yeah.
Duno
He's, like, humping it, and then he did the.
Yola
Did you ever watch Heavyweights as a kid?
Duno
No.
Yola
Heavyweights is a. You should. You'll love it, bro. Heavyweights is a movie about kids that have to go to fat camp, and it's a Disney movie.
Duno
Really?
Yola
And Ben Stiller plays the same character, White Goodman, as he does in Dodgeball. It's the same guy.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Play the same person.
Duno
So good, bro.
Yola
Heavyweights is a great knuckle puck.
Marty
Kid from Mighty Ducks.
Yola
Mighty Ducks. The fat kid from Mighty ducks. Oh, you're 2,000.
Duno
Is that the kid from Salah? No, the white fat kid.
Yola
No. You never watch Mighty Ducks. Damn. The brown kid. The only brown kid. Besides.
Duno
Can you pull it up? I maybe have to see him, but, yeah, I love dodgeball. It gets. It gets underrated.
Yola
It goes dodgeball, too.
Marty
Coming out in 2024.
Duno
Oh, that's gonna be hard.
Yola
Speaking of what.
Duno
That's gonna be really Heavyweights. Should I watch it?
Yola
Look at Keleenan Williams from SNL right there. Look at. Look at this whole little boy, bro.
Marty
Is hilarious.
Yola
Great movie, bro. So funny, dude.
Duno
So he plays the bad guy.
Yola
He's the villain.
Marty
Yeah.
Yola
He runs the fat camp. And he's so ripped that he hates the fat kids because he's like, you should be fat. You shouldn't be fat. Just like a dodgeball where he hates fat people. It's the same character.
Marty
Goldberg.
Yola
Goldberg. The kid in the middle. Yeah.
Duno
Such a up movie.
Yola
It's great.
Duno
This would not be able to be able to happen in this time.
Yola
Watch it, though.
Duno
I want to go watch it.
Yola
It makes all the little. The fact. Baddest thing I ever done the question. That movie.
Marty
You want to see something sad?
Yola
Yeah, that is sad. He's all whacked out now, man, come.
Duno
Who does? The fool from dodgeball?
Yola
No, that's the fool from Mighty Ducks. That kid?
Duno
Yeah. What happened?
Yola
He started start tweaking, dude. Once you start tweaking and as somebody that's been around drugs their whole life, that's just not appealing.
Duno
That's not.
Yola
It's. It's. It's really not.
Duno
A lot of. A lot of I do is like, because of seeing my dad on drugs and like, just things like. Like, I'm like, fool, why you gotta do this?
Yola
Do you still. You. So wait, no. Your dad passed away? That's right.
Duno
Yeah, yeah, he passed away last year.
Yola
That's right. That's right. We didn't ask about it. We didn't ask.
Duno
Yeah, man, you know what? It. Not. It sounds crazy, but it. He was suffering, man. I'm. I'm glad he's resting. He's a lot of suffering. Like, it's a lot of up living in the streets of Tijuana, you know, homeless, poor, in Mexic. Oh, yeah, man, it was bad.
Marty
How long did he live like that for?
Duno
For years, bro. The last time I saw my dad in the states, I was 11 and a half, 12.
Yola
Oh, damn.
Duno
He got up. He was so smoked out. It was the longest I've seen him go on. On a run. He hadn't slept for like three weeks. And he got up and just like, you know, some even like, as a drug addict. If you love, you love. I've never seen my. I've seen my mom and my dad argue as a kid, but never did I see him raise his hand at her. And he didn't raise his hand at her this day, but he got up like he was. And I remember I got in front of him. We never had the best relationship because I think he kind of think I took my mom away from him. It sounds weird, not in a weird way, but. But it's more like, you know, like he had girls his whole life. He had three daughters. And then this boy, this little boy is born. And he loved me. But it was just the drugs, man. You know, he was just mad. He used to be mad at me food. Like he was just always mad at me. And it's because he wasn't no longer the only man in my mom's world.
Yola
Like, Mexicans are weird.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
Oh, I've heard this is not the first time.
Duno
Yeah. Like, my mom just loved me. Food. Like. Like I'm her. I'm her. Jealous. No, maybe not. I don't know if jealous Is the word. But something like that.
Yola
Envious.
Duno
Yeah. Like, maybe he was just like, man, what the. Like. And. And man, I wasn't. You know, I'm saying. And I remember one time him getting mad that I got kicked out of. He was just like, smoked out, arguing. My mom, like, see, that's what you. Because you. Baby. And mom was like, why do you give a. You don't go to these things. I'm. Let me worry about my kid. That was like the thing. He'll be like, that's your kid. Ah, yeah, but. But he loved me. But he loved me. It's weird, you know, Unconditional love. Now he was. He'll be mad at me, fool. He never gave me a lecture in life. The one thing he ever told me was just. And it's the best lecture. Don't do the drug. I do. My stepdad told me that, and he told me that. And I got a sense of humor from him. My mom is not funny at all. Terrible. No jokes. She said the joke would be like, when it comes to sense of humor, my dad carried that relationship.
Yola
Oh, he might have been a lot.
Duno
But he brought laughs.
Yola
Now that I got older, it's really up to say. I understand why my dad was fighting my mom constantly. And there was domestic violence. She was not nice at all. Since I hit 15, I was like, that's what. My dad beats your ass all the time. You're trash. You're not nice, bro. Just punching for nothing.
Duno
I remember one time on stage, I said some, like, my mom's had to be wacky. My dad left her for a drug. The crowd was like, Latinos. Like, oh. I'm like. The white guy was like, ah, hilarious. Yeah, but. But no, yeah, man. He. I got my sense of humor from him. One of the funniest persons in my life is my older sister, Cookie. Yeah, Amazing. She's comedy. She like. She's hilarious food. And she's one of the funniest people in my life. She's comedy. Like, I'd be like, you want to try it? She's like, no getting off stage over there. People can laugh at me. You fed them. Like, you like. She talks like that, you know, she's.
Yola
Like, we all need one of those people in your life.

Yola

Duno

Yola
Oh, okay. How much older?
Duno
She's only older than me by three years. But she's like a you like she smokes hella in her pad, but I can't tell like you know what I'm saying? And, and then she like super metal. She's like the one that likes shrooms and like, like that sounds cool. Yeah, she's cool. Her and my brother in law just get high. They, they, they watch your pod.

Duno
We talked about that. You said you like the alien from there.
Yola
That motherfucker's hilarious, bro. Roger the alien is probably the best character.
Duno
I love Carmen though.
Yola
We talked. Yeah, we talked about this.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
So since we've, we've last talked, I have a homie that works South Park. That's why I've been doing a lot of south park lately. So much goes into this show. It makes me appreciate it so much more. Like I met the showrunner and he's like, yeah, I'm working 18 hours for 27 years, six days a week. Well, oh, because you know their thing, they six day to air. They make the show and produce it in six days. That's their thing. So like when the Obama south park is written, made and put out on Common Central in six days flat from the start till it's out on tv. So it's called Six days to Air. Like that's their thing. They, they produce shows right then and there. So that's why you're like, damn, they're already making fun of this fool. That happened three days ago. Yeah, because they're in the room writing all night if they have to. Like they talked me like most of our animators sleep here during season because they don't have time to go home.
Duno
Is there beds? Yeah, they have beds.
Yola
Right. It's, it's all a state of the art.
Duno
Yeah, yeah.
Yola
It's different now. After, you know, the pandemic. But when I was going through, like, wow. So much goes into a, like, animation. Like just seeing the writing room and all. This is so crazy, bro. So I have a deeper appreciation for south park now. Cartman in general, dude.
Duno
I just.
Yola
I just love the show.
Duno
Who plays his voice?
Yola
Trey Parker. Trey Parker, the blonde? The blonde dude. And then Matt Stone is the black hair guy. He does like Kenny and, you know, I couldn't even tell you how many other people he did. They. They. There's only like, like five, two, three voice actors. Drake Parker does most of them. And then they have other people do like the girls and stuff, stuff like that. Love that show.
Marty
I realize that.
Yola
Gracious. I went to Casa Bonita, the. The restaurant.
Duno
I seen that.
Yola
I went. It was so much. It was so worth taking the flight. It was so fun.
Duno
You went just for that?
Yola
Yeah, it was great, bro. It was so fun.
Duno
It was.
Yola
It was so fun. I was just walking around. They had man, bear, pig walking around in a suit. It. No way.
Duno
Yeah.
Yola
It really is cliff divers. One of the cliff divers hit a rock while I was there. Dove wrong. Of course. The time I was there. The ambulance is coming in, like, so.
Duno
It'S kind of Anita build because of South Park. Like, they made.
Yola
Always been there since like the 70s. It's always been there. And then the owners of South Crazy south park just love that place because they're from that area and.
Duno
What is it? Colorado? The Denver.
Yola
Denver area. And they're like, oh, let's buy it. That's our spot when we were kids.
Duno
So they bought it.
Yola
Yeah, they bought it. They put you. You should watch the documentary. These pools put $42 million into this place. When I walked around there, it. It's a different set. It looks like Universal. Like everything is so. But it's just a regular restaurant. It's just a restaurant, bro. It's just a restaurant. There's an arcade, there's a gift shop. There's puppet shows going on. If I was nine years old, I would never leave that place.
Duno
Do you have to make, like, reservation? Or you could just walk up.
Yola
It's like an 18 month wait. It's a long way, bro.
Duno
Like 18 months.
Yola
That's a long way, bro. Oh, do you ever want to go? I got you. If you ever want to go.
Duno
Please. I would love to go. I'll be in Denver next year, so I would love to go a day before just to go. Casaboni.
Yola
I know ots to go too. After I went, he's like, let's go. Like we'll make a trip of it. It was so fun. Yeah.
Duno
Wow. And there's actually no cliff divers there.
Yola
Every, every nine minutes, I think or ten minutes they're going, it's so sick. Dude. It was Joe and there's a live mariachi band.
Duno
Literally how Carmen put it together.
Yola
Dead on every single thing that he said.
Duno
Oh my God.
Yola
It's not cooler.
Duno
Did you tell him that I love the show?
Yola
Oh, no, no. I. I d have an idea. My homie. That works this morning goes, I love Duno. No way. I was like, oh, let's go.
Duno
Wow. South park is amazing. People don't know. Like I told me all the time like, like that's why they say when I was like, when you ever walk into your porch, be in the ghetto.
Yola
Exactly. That's what you said.
Duno
I was like, I was like, bro, south park is funny. Like been there the whole life. People don't even know. Like I'd be like, what? Like whenever. Cuz I have a Muslim friend named Jakarta and I go like, what really happened in 9 11? That's a good song. People don't know like, like, like fool. I'll be telling people like.
Yola
But if you say some. Somebody goes, you like south park too?
Duno
Yes. If, if they're like real fans.
Yola
A real fan would say that. Go. Did you say what happened on 9 11? Yeah, that's from south park episode, what was it? The Ladder to Heaven.
Duno
The Ladder to Heaven. And yo, it's just so stupid. And people didn't know that you wanted to kick it with Kenny or they're.
Yola
Trying to get their. The code right so they can get their video games or some.
Duno
And people was like the, the dude. What's the dude's name that came to McGraw? He was like, Stairway to Heaven.
Yola
It's such a blown out of proportion show.
Duno
But you know what? That's why that doesn't. What? Like, see, that's what makes you feel as like my simple minded ass was like, oh, I want to kick it with Carmen. And you were breaking down the people you wouldn't want to kick it with.
Yola
Oh yeah, bro. Yeah, cuz. Cartman's great. We've talked about this. Carpin's great. He's also a racist piece of ignorant. If he's a real guy. Oh, I'm gonna beat that guy's ass. I don't like him, but as a cartoon, I can't get enough of him. Homer constantly driving drunk. I'm not chilling with some drunk ass. I'LL just show my dad if I'm Homer. Like, I'm good off that Bart dope. As also breaking windows. Being a little piece of constantly. It's true, right? And then we go to American Dad. Like Roger. He does drugs, he drinks. He has a bunch of characters he can gold. I'll chill with Roger.
Duno
And then, and then, and then when I was like, what about Stu? He's like, yeah, he's a psycho. I didn't realize that.
Yola
Hey, try to kill his mom constantly.
Duno
The psychopath. And then Brian, that piece of. What a.
Yola
What a little. He's Bill Maher. You know Bill Maher? That's Brian Griffin. Bill Mar. The comedian is Brian Griffin.
Duno
Is that the dude that does the.
Yola
He has the podcast. He just smokes a little joint and he has little glasses and he's really pretentious.
Duno
That's how he looks.
Yola
He's the worst.
Duno
The worst.
Yola
Watch him be a fan. And like, Bill Bar sucks, dude. He's never been nice to people on his show. He's always, like, not friendly, bro.
Duno
Old piece of. That's Brian Griffin. You know what the. He looks like the old ass fool from Up.
Yola
The movie OIC man. From up.
Duno
Yeah, yeah. Brian Griffin. That same guy. I didn't realize that when he was explaining, when he was like, imagine me. You're talking. It's like, well, you guys, because if.
Yola
You'Re saying this like, you shouldn't be saying kamakazi, because that's not Korean. I. I'd kill that fool. That fool. Straight up. Brian Griffin.
Duno
Yeah. When I was like, I never thought about it like that.
Yola
You have to break it down. You have to really think about it. I would love to. Stan Smith would. I'd smoke weed. He'd try to arrest me instantly. Even though he's super cool. From American Dad. Let's just stay here. I'll hang out with Stan's dad, Randy Marsh from South Park. That's who I want. He's a. He's a seismologist or he does the. The earthquakes seismologist or whatever. And now he just grows weed on a farm.
Duno
Yes.
Yola
I'm all day balls in a microwave. He did. He has ball cancer, but he got rid of it. And he got rid of weed. I'm chilling with Randy. That's my final answer.
Duno
Terrible father.
Yola
Terrible father, but coolest friend.
Duno
But, but, but, but who are we to judge a dad, right?
Yola
I can judge it.
Duno
No, what I'm saying is like, like, Stan Marks are your dad. Like, your dad probably beats that.
Yola
Marsh. Stan Marsh. Yeah, yeah. Our Stan's dad, Randy Mark. I go, I got ready.
Duno
He's.
Yola
He's got. He's like an educated man. He just has an alcohol problem sometimes, you know, he sings. Lord, he has a career. I think I'm gonna go with Randy Marsh, man.
Duno
Damn, that was cool.
Yola
My dad's funny. As though.
Duno
I'll say that Stan Marsh is comedy, though, when he was about to ride with his balls. Oh, yeah.
Yola
The. Yo, there's. There's. We could do a whole. Whole show. Okay.
