00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.760

the RGB great guy and We were talking right before

00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.860
the show started about some stuff that he had

00:02:21.860 --> 00:02:23.919
been doing for a while and I'm fortunate at the

00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.960
moment He is in out of commission for a while.

00:02:28.259 --> 00:02:31.020
He they rebuilt him into the to the million dollar

00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:34.919

00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.719
So now he's stronger faster and he has a nice

00:02:38.909 --> 00:02:41.610
round bottom now after the Brazilian lift. But,

00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:46.169
uh, ladies, gentlemen, let me introduce you.

00:02:46.189 --> 00:03:00.590
Mr. Anthony. What's going on, man? Payments.

00:03:04.409 --> 00:03:09.289
How you been, brother? How you been? I've been

00:03:09.289 --> 00:03:10.990
good brother, good, good, thank you, thank you

00:03:10.990 --> 00:03:14.169
to everybody for the prayers, the shout outs.

00:03:14.409 --> 00:03:16.189
I've been doing good. I had a little surgery

00:03:16.189 --> 00:03:18.830
on my spine. Like I did say, I didn't want them

00:03:18.830 --> 00:03:20.289
to make me taller so they just gave me a bigger

00:03:20.289 --> 00:03:24.949
ass so when I sit down. That usually works, that

00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:31.669
usually works. Why did you get taller? Put a

00:03:31.669 --> 00:03:36.930
plasma baby. Put a plasma from the bedding department

00:03:50.669 --> 00:03:52.469
when they got to choose between renaissance and

00:03:52.469 --> 00:03:58.650
an ass. I hate to be part of that repo, I'll

00:03:58.650 --> 00:04:03.150
tell you that much right now. You know exactly

00:04:03.150 --> 00:04:06.930
how we're representing this thing, right? Unfortunately,

00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:15.099
yes. Give me the gag ball. Thank you for joining

00:06:36.569 --> 00:06:39.199
laughing. You know, I really started doing comedy

00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.500
because I was a working security guard at a bar

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:44.019
at hard engine Okay, I would sit outside with

00:06:44.019 --> 00:06:45.519
the people man and everybody was sitting outside

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.680
I just be chopping it up with everybody and having

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.160
all the tables laughing all night, you know Just

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.060
talking about the customers walking in or just

00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:54.579
telling them stories about where i'm from and

00:06:54.579 --> 00:06:56.519
everything And I had so many people telling me

00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:58.980
you need to stand up. You need to stand up So

00:06:58.980 --> 00:07:01.300
I ended up seeing an open mic and heart that

00:07:01.300 --> 00:07:03.279
was getting put together in the town in the city

00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.100
And uh, it was a recall productions and some

00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:08.319
real good buddies of mine And they had posted

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.920
a comedy show, a comedy show. And so I had never

00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.879
been to a comedy show. I had never, you know,

00:07:13.019 --> 00:07:15.240
done comedy and everything. So I pulled up and

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.040
I saw them performing. And I mean, I just fell

00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.860
in love with them, man. So I ended up staying,

00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:21.579
hanging out with the guys, you know, drinking

00:07:21.579 --> 00:07:23.800
all night. And they told me, well, come on for

00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.120
the open mic. So I came out to the open mic the

00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.180
very next week and I was off from there, man.

00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.939
Once I got my first big laugh, I was addicted.

00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.100
Like I was there every week. I was January 21st,

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.009
2019. There you go Pre -pandemic. All right.

00:07:39.029 --> 00:07:40.790
All right. All right. Yeah pre -pandemic. Yeah,

00:07:40.889 --> 00:07:44.550
and you know, so we did comedy and I was just

00:07:44.550 --> 00:07:46.529
Coming on as an open mic or I would come hang

00:07:46.529 --> 00:07:48.430
out with the guys. We had they had a studio We'd

00:07:48.430 --> 00:07:50.370
all hang out with you know artists they would

00:07:50.370 --> 00:07:52.490
have rap shows rock shows We would just you know,

00:07:52.629 --> 00:07:54.649
mix it up with everybody and we're doing comedy

00:07:54.649 --> 00:07:57.310
the whole time So then kovat hit so we already

00:07:57.310 --> 00:07:59.550
hit uh, you know, that was gonna be my first

00:07:59.550 --> 00:08:04.250
time to air performance You know ray I was ready,

00:08:04.410 --> 00:08:06.129
man. I was hype and then COVID shut everything

00:08:06.129 --> 00:08:10.329
down. But during COVID, luckily we were at a

00:08:10.329 --> 00:08:13.089
venue that was outdoors, had an outdoor area.

00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:15.750
We were doing underground shows. We were still

00:08:15.750 --> 00:08:19.769
doing the whole social destined team wasn't helping

00:08:19.769 --> 00:08:25.009
shit. It wasn't helping nothing. We were doing

00:08:25.009 --> 00:08:27.509
it safe as much as we could. The guidelines were...

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:29.060
you know, that would allow us, but we were also

00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:30.740
doing them underground with nobody really knowing,

00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:32.799
just a couple of people. And, you know, we're

00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:34.539
keeping it live, but keeping working. While a

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:36.879
lot of comedians weren't working, I was working.

00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:38.659
Me and the comedians around me, we were working.

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.279
So, when we came out of the pandemic, that's

00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.519
when it was off, man. It was off. So, you know,

00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:46.120
as soon as we were able to get out of the lockdown,

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.340
we started traveling. I started going to open

00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:51.559
mics in Corpus, going to mics in Laredo, to San

00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.200
Antonio. You know, we've even gone out there

00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.149
to Austin. And it was just, you know, I would

00:08:56.149 --> 00:08:58.529
grind as much as I could, man. Any work I could

00:08:58.529 --> 00:09:00.730
get, you know, especially, I'm going on seven

00:09:00.730 --> 00:09:04.549
years of doing comedy. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Awesome.

00:09:04.870 --> 00:09:07.129
Awesome. Yeah, which in comedy, I'm still considered

00:09:07.129 --> 00:09:09.149
a baby. Like, you know, you told any veteran

00:09:09.149 --> 00:09:11.389
comics under 10 years. Right, right, right. Look

00:09:11.389 --> 00:09:15.070
at my face, you know, so. Right. I love it. Yeah,

00:09:15.230 --> 00:09:17.509
I got you. I got you. But I love it because,

00:09:17.769 --> 00:09:20.610
you know, as much work as I was putting in. I

00:09:20.610 --> 00:09:22.629
mean, I would drive five hours straight out of

00:09:22.629 --> 00:09:25.210
work to go do a stage for 30 bucks and a burger.

00:09:25.389 --> 00:09:27.649
You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got

00:09:27.649 --> 00:09:29.970
you. Yeah, and Austin, you know, show up, do

00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:31.750
a show, drive back, be at work in the morning.

00:09:32.129 --> 00:09:33.870
You know, but I was getting on any stage that

00:09:33.870 --> 00:09:35.429
I could. And I would always tell people, especially

00:09:35.429 --> 00:09:38.190
in my earlier years, any stage that I was having

00:09:38.190 --> 00:09:39.950
the opportunity to be, I was worth more than

00:09:39.950 --> 00:09:42.110
any money that anybody could pay me at the time.

00:09:42.129 --> 00:09:43.830
Like, it was me about just getting in front of

00:09:43.830 --> 00:09:45.850
people. That's all I wanted to do. That's all

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.519
Okay, yeah, and that guy man like I he's truly

00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.299

night You know working eight -hour shifts, you

00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.419

know unless you get up there, you know And I've

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.299
always took in his words and advice to heart

00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:39.919
as like scripture basically in comedy. Right,

00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:42.580
right Yeah, like a lot of times, you know, you

00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:44.889
get a lot of guys that Why do comedy, you know,

00:12:44.929 --> 00:12:46.909
they're influencers. They just go up on stage

00:12:46.909 --> 00:12:48.629
and do a lot of crowd work. And, you know, a

00:12:48.629 --> 00:12:50.470
lot of, you know, it'll get you, it'll get you

00:12:50.470 --> 00:12:53.590
in a lot of rooms. But as far as a comedian and

00:12:53.590 --> 00:12:55.370
as far as the art of comedy, you know, every

00:12:55.370 --> 00:12:57.389
veteran comedian will tell you that stage is

00:12:57.389 --> 00:12:59.149
never going to lie. That stage is going to let

00:12:59.149 --> 00:13:00.850
you know how much you're really working and you're

00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:03.090
really putting in the work. Right, right, right.

00:13:03.129 --> 00:13:05.169
You can't do crowd work for 30 minutes straight.

00:13:05.610 --> 00:13:07.809
You know, you got to have the art done. You got

00:13:07.809 --> 00:13:09.809
to have the sacrifice in this game. You got to,

00:13:09.950 --> 00:13:11.889
you know, take the proper steps, you know, to

00:13:11.889 --> 00:13:14.940
be a comedian. And I would listen to his podcast

00:13:14.940 --> 00:13:16.820
just overnight. And then listening to his podcast,

00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.600
his stories, reminded me of my uncles. Reminded

00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.740
me of me when I'm hanging out with people, telling

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:23.759
them stories about the crazy this matter that

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.759
we're in. Out here in the Hardingen, telling

00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.659
them the crazy stories of being with my cousins,

00:13:28.820 --> 00:13:31.399
being with my homies, being on my field. They're

00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.799
in Las Juarez, they're in just... That's how

00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:37.740
I would get that crowd of people outside of the

00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:40.529
bar when I was a bouncer. in like interested

00:13:40.529 --> 00:13:42.870
in what I was saying because I was not only was

00:13:42.870 --> 00:13:44.690
I telling him like crazy ass stories about what

00:13:44.690 --> 00:13:47.250
happened, but I was making them laugh. You know

00:13:47.250 --> 00:13:49.049
what I mean? Like I was making them laugh and

00:13:49.049 --> 00:13:51.809
laugh and just be entertained, not like, oh damn,

00:13:51.990 --> 00:13:53.429
you know, who the hell is this guy? It was more,

00:13:53.450 --> 00:13:55.909
they wanted to hear more of my story, you know?

00:13:55.909 --> 00:13:58.850
So I got a lot of, I got a lot of inspiration

00:13:58.850 --> 00:14:00.990
from Joey Diaz because a lot of that's what his

00:14:00.990 --> 00:14:03.590
style was, was saying the stories, you know,

00:14:03.649 --> 00:14:06.649
the back in 87 or, you know, back in 93 and I'm

00:14:06.649 --> 00:14:08.320
fighting the unknown. you know whatever like

00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.360
that and that's always kind of been the style

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.799
that i try to pursue you know i don't want to

00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.740
go out there and just sound like a comic i want

00:14:15.740 --> 00:14:17.580
to be the guy that you can take to a barbecue

00:14:17.580 --> 00:14:19.759
hang out with you know and that's what i tell

00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.639
a lot of people when they want to try to do comedy

00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:23.500
or they're like why never gonna bro you know

00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:25.580
the stories that you say whenever you're hanging

00:14:25.580 --> 00:14:27.600
out with all your homies to make them laugh you

00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.820
know you know you're gonna start drinking a new

00:14:29.820 --> 00:14:31.419
person is gonna come and hey man let me tell

00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:32.980
you what Ruben did back in the day you know he

00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:35.340
started chopping it up right right with the story

00:14:35.549 --> 00:14:37.669
So you're a comedian, like that's what comics

00:14:37.669 --> 00:14:40.649
do. We know exactly what to say in the situation

00:14:40.649 --> 00:14:43.850
to make you laugh. Right. Right. That's crazy.

00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:47.809
Because everybody in the group of friends always

00:14:47.809 --> 00:14:51.710
have that one guy that's just, you know, he's

00:14:51.710 --> 00:14:53.909
constantly pushing everybody's buttons and making

00:14:53.909 --> 00:14:56.490
them laugh left and right. You know, and they're

00:14:56.490 --> 00:14:57.950
the ones that they're the ones that are on fire

00:14:57.950 --> 00:14:59.909
for the whole night. And you're just laughing

00:14:59.909 --> 00:15:04.389
your asses off. But there's some points, you

00:15:04.389 --> 00:15:08.230
know, I know for a fact because I've seen, I've

00:15:08.230 --> 00:15:12.929
gone to a comedy show a long time ago. It was,

00:15:12.990 --> 00:15:15.250
I think it was in San Antonio. One comedy show

00:15:15.250 --> 00:15:18.330
went a long time ago and there was a new comedian

00:15:18.330 --> 00:15:22.929
come up on stage and man, it was like crickets

00:15:22.929 --> 00:15:27.820
in there, bro. He was, I mean, some of the jokes

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:30.840
were great. They were good, but it's just that

00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:34.360
nobody was grasping. It wasn't hitting at all.

00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.639
Have you ever had anything like that? I mean,

00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:40.039
something like one night you're like, dude, this

00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:45.100
is a tough crowd, tough crowd. Honestly, like

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:47.059
reading my last show before I went to surgery,

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:51.320
it was funny because, you know, a buddy of mine,

00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:54.440

00:16:56.250 --> 00:16:59.490

that I can stand a big role in the middle of

00:24:19.789 --> 00:24:22.130
the whole dance floor. And I would I would laugh

00:24:22.130 --> 00:24:23.730

the big ladies like that, like, you know, like,

00:24:30.089 --> 00:24:32.470

people, we didn't call them tortas. You know,

00:24:34.390 --> 00:24:36.069
back then, we call them tanquecitos. Like, those

00:24:36.069 --> 00:24:44.210
are the tanquecitos in the club. I used to love

00:24:44.210 --> 00:24:45.710
hanging out with my Tio, bro, because as soon

00:24:45.710 --> 00:24:47.269
as he would see, like, a pack of them walk in,

00:24:47.390 --> 00:25:01.730
he'd get up. Ya empezó la guerra. And I would

00:25:01.730 --> 00:25:03.829
tell my Tio, like, hey, Tio, like, why do you...

00:25:03.390 --> 00:25:07.849
To him, his only gauge of size was, as long as

00:25:07.849 --> 00:25:10.289
when he hugs you, his fingers touch, you're OK.

00:25:10.589 --> 00:25:15.430
Like, I can not talk to you. That was his only

00:25:15.430 --> 00:25:16.890
gauge. And I would tell him, like, why are you

00:25:16.890 --> 00:25:18.950
getting the big ones, man? He goes, what's happening?

00:25:19.190 --> 00:25:25.690

that you can dance with the T .F .O. Her bulletproof

00:25:36.259 --> 00:25:40.299
vest under her shirt. Bulletproof vest? You're

00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:43.539

00:25:43.539 --> 00:25:46.579
the money. Yeah, man. It's true, man. It's true.

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:48.200
They're the ones that just sip on button lights

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.319
because they don't want that button to pop. Put

00:25:52.319 --> 00:26:10.640
it on. Put it on. You look like a gangster bro,

00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:13.160
just gliding on the floor. You don't get that

00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:29.680
anymore. I want some stuff that's gonna make

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:31.900
that eyelash sweat off of you. That's all I want.

00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.900
You gotta go to the pool again. Oh my God. Don't

00:26:39.579 --> 00:26:42.180
Oh yeah. It's like everybody that I, every time

00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:45.339
I'm swiping through TikTok, Facebook, shit, even

00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:47.519
Instagram, bro, and you know, through the stories,

00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:50.579

00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:53.859
get that out. What I like to call the Bronco

00:26:53.859 --> 00:26:56.799
956 fire starter because everybody's looking

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:58.799
for that. And it's not happy. It happened for

00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:01.079
one person. That's it. They want a taste of it.

00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:02.839
They want to taste it. It happened for one person.

00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:05.319
That's it. It's over. That's it. He's already

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.200
he brought it to the last. The wick is too small

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.819
to light anymore. It's gone. So that's a crowd

00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:13.480
too heavy to bear. But they don't. They ain't

00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:18.019

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:21.319

00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:47.519
just like, what? Like yeah, Nebraska, Nebraska.

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:51.640
They was all white people, but comedians did

00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:53.059
their thing. Like, yeah, that's cool. Whatever.

00:28:53.539 --> 00:28:56.119
And then as soon as he hit the stage, man, everything

00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:58.339
he went out there doing is, you know, bronco.

00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:00.500
They knew who he was. They love them. They're

00:29:00.500 --> 00:29:05.069
pictured. They're taking like. That's nuts, man.

00:29:05.069 --> 00:29:06.750
Do you know how long we've been trying to break

00:29:06.750 --> 00:29:12.289
in in Nebraska? Go to Oscar, son. Go to Oscar.

00:29:15.230 --> 00:29:18.710
A big shout out to Ashley. I'm here, brother.

00:29:18.869 --> 00:29:20.009
That's what she's saying right there, buddy.

00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:27.440
because none of my family has jobs. That's crazy,

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:31.079
man. Like I said, everybody who's anybody and

00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:33.559
their grandmamas are out there trying to get

00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.980
catch that fire. And it's I mean, it's like I

00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:40.099
said, that fire has already been lit. It's gone.

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:43.059
And he he ran with it. It's like it was the last

00:29:43.059 --> 00:29:45.539
it was the last jug of water. He said, screw

00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:54.710
you. I'm out. But yeah, it's crazy I'm gonna

00:29:54.710 --> 00:29:56.470
start carrying my son to dad's bro instead of

00:29:56.470 --> 00:29:58.940
being in baseball Put a poster of Bronco on the

00:29:58.940 --> 00:30:02.660
wall. That's what you need to be like. That's

00:30:02.660 --> 00:30:04.420
your inspiration right there. Follow that. Follow

00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:06.660
that right there. It's instead of the poster

00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:10.019
of Mike Tyson doing Bronco on the wall. But dad,

00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:11.799
I want to play for the Astros when they let that

00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.259
do it. No, you follow that. That's your right

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:17.519
there. You polished off all 10 of your belts

00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:28.210
there. So far all these shows that you've done

00:30:28.210 --> 00:30:31.049
in in state of Texas I basically the whole state

00:30:31.049 --> 00:30:33.269
of Texas and you've been through what would you

00:30:33.269 --> 00:30:36.609
say is the one that you Shared the most that

00:30:36.609 --> 00:30:38.349
you say you know what this makes the bar this

00:30:38.349 --> 00:30:40.789
sets the bar for me This is the one that this

00:30:40.789 --> 00:30:43.670
was the best one This is where you know, I lit

00:30:43.670 --> 00:30:47.039
it up and it stayed lit the whole night Mean

00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:49.660
is there any in particular one? I mean and when

00:30:49.660 --> 00:30:51.759
that happened, what was the first joke you cracked?

00:30:55.619 --> 00:30:57.819
Honestly, my biggest one, you know that I've

00:30:57.819 --> 00:31:00.680
had was when I did the far Lone Star Theatre

00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.799
You know that was maybe about a month ago, okay

00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.140
I wasn't supposed to be on the lineup You know,

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:09.380
but I had gone to the open mic and I was getting

00:31:09.380 --> 00:31:11.400
a lot of love in that venue Like every time I

00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:12.819
would go to the open mic everybody loved it when

00:31:12.819 --> 00:31:15.190
I was there I would crush it every time. So the

00:31:15.190 --> 00:31:17.150
guy who was putting the show together asked me,

00:31:17.269 --> 00:31:19.430
like, hey, man, you want to be on the show? And

00:31:19.430 --> 00:31:21.670
I was like, yeah, man, no problem. And then they

00:31:21.670 --> 00:31:23.990
wanted me to headline after, like, the comics.

00:31:23.990 --> 00:31:27.309
Oh, shoot. I said, you know, like, to me, like,

00:31:27.609 --> 00:31:30.029
if it's going to be a showcase like that, put

00:31:30.029 --> 00:31:32.089
me in the middle. Put me in the middle. I want

00:31:32.089 --> 00:31:33.809
to wait till the very end of the night. Like,

00:31:33.910 --> 00:31:35.329
maybe hang out with all the comics, you know,

00:31:35.410 --> 00:31:37.210
whatever. Right, right. You know, so. Someone's

00:31:37.210 --> 00:31:40.650
traumatized. Someone's traumatized. From years

00:31:40.650 --> 00:31:43.619
of showcases, like, man, what's going on? Night

00:31:43.619 --> 00:31:45.759
comics later, dude, everybody just held hostage

00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:49.640
just looking at me. We have to say, can we pay

00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:54.440
for this? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so it was a Lone

00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:56.559
Star Theater, man. So I end up going in the middle.

00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:59.359
And it was the guys, the guys are worried about

00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:00.700
it. They're like, hey, man, like it's going to

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:02.960
be the intermission. Don't worry about it and

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:04.539
a cold start, you know, like where I gotta go

00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:06.579
I'm the one that's gonna bring the energy back

00:32:06.579 --> 00:32:08.380
Don't worry, but I'm used to it. Like I'll freeze

00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:11.019
you the energy. Like don't worry about that Do

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:12.839
they're in a mission they get everybody coming

00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:15.359
back to the seat and I'm in the side of every

00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:17.599
time I'm gonna get on stage man It's cuz my uncle

00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:20.279
growing up my uncle was a boxer Carlos and you

00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:21.819
know There was there was times that I would see

00:32:21.819 --> 00:32:24.059
him getting ready for fights and he would just

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:26.799
do that little pacing back and forth or you know

00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:28.799
Just just getting in that zone and that's me

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:30.759
before I'm on stage Right. I'm not talking to

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:32.680
nobody. I go out to the side and I'm just - You're

00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:34.680
amping yourself up. Let's go. Let's go. Yeah.

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:36.619
Yeah. I can hear it. I can hear the DJ behind

00:32:36.619 --> 00:32:39.539
me because it's a sold out crowd. You know, it

00:32:39.539 --> 00:32:42.799
is at least like 160 people in a small venue.

00:32:43.059 --> 00:32:44.859
It's packed. You know, there's just standing

00:32:44.859 --> 00:32:47.180
room available. All the bar area is packed. I'm

00:32:47.180 --> 00:32:49.559
already hyped up from that. So I'm on the side

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:51.880
and I tell the guy, just go warm, just go and

00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:54.599
let him bring me up. And I'm just pacing. I can

00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:57.099
hear the DJ just behind me like, oh shit. Oh

00:32:57.099 --> 00:33:00.039

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:44.619
of people wanting to just take a picture with

00:35:44.619 --> 00:35:46.480

line, you know I always have like a little the

00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:08.940
line that hey, man, you did great my first time

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:11.719
seeing you Yeah, you know, I it took me about

00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:13.599
an hour by the time we were done, you know talking

00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:17.559
glad that my wife was there because she just

00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:19.460
decided like i'm gonna start recording them So

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:21.460
she started recording me and like just talking

00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:23.679
to the people laughing. They're doing a little

00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:25.340
shout out video They're taking pictures of me

00:36:25.340 --> 00:36:28.239
and everything It was just so electric. Like

00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:30.420
I've killed rooms and I've killed, I've killed

00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:33.019
big venues with something about that. Just like

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:35.239
really felt different. It felt like tonight you're

00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:37.800
the guy, you know, tonight you're the guys, you

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:40.820
know, for them. I think, I think true. What's

00:36:40.820 --> 00:36:43.800
more special is that when, when you're a local

00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:46.239
talent, either whether you're a rock star or

00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:49.579
a rock rock guy or a hip hop, the Hano singer,

00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.679
an artist, podcasters, any, you know, anything

00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:55.840
that's to do with talent. in comedians, anything,

00:36:56.099 --> 00:36:57.760
you know, the entertainment entertain people.

00:36:57.980 --> 00:37:01.280
I think the greatest feeling is that when you

00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:03.760
get recognized by your own rassa from your own

00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:06.699
hometown, the 956, they step up and they say,

00:37:06.820 --> 00:37:10.139
dude, you're a fucking bad ass. Your comedy setup

00:37:10.139 --> 00:37:13.260
was the bomb, dude. That was fucking funny. You

00:37:13.260 --> 00:37:16.260
know, that inside that's that's a notch. That's

00:37:16.260 --> 00:37:19.800
a notch inside. Yeah, man. I did it. I did it.

00:37:20.260 --> 00:37:25.420
Yeah. Yeah. And that night, like, I'll never

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:27.880
forget it. There's a... I forget his name, man.

00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:29.320
I feel bad. I forget his name. He's real cool.

00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:31.719
He came up to me after the show. He actually

00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:34.300
is a shark wrangler from here in South Texas.

00:37:34.340 --> 00:37:36.599
Oh, okay. He has a video, like, being underwater

00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:38.639
with sharks... Oh, shit! ...dancing with them.

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:41.360
You know? Like, dancing with them. It's this

00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:45.340
white guy... Literally moonwalks, you know, doing,

00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:47.000
like, he's doing, like, an international show

00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.159
showing, and he's breakdancing with the sharks.

00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.079
And he comes up to me, and he takes a picture

00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:54.079
of me. And he tells me what he does and everything.

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:55.820
Oh, man, it's awesome. I shake his hand, I take

00:37:55.820 --> 00:37:57.840
his picture. And before he's leaving, this guy

00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:00.039
brings me, he's like, hey, bro, you're the Joey

00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:03.280
Diaz of the Valley, like, man. Oh, shit. Oh,

00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:08.119
shit. That hit me because, like, him not knowing

00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:09.980
that, like I said, my biggest inspiration was

00:38:09.980 --> 00:38:12.539
Joey Diaz. Yeah. For him to say, like, bro, your

00:38:12.539 --> 00:38:14.820
story, that you're the Joey Diaz of the Valley.

00:38:14.980 --> 00:38:17.380

00:38:17.380 --> 00:38:19.119

day, I'm just going to put a phone and just let

00:46:51.690 --> 00:46:55.750
it record and throw it into a podcast. And my

00:46:55.750 --> 00:46:58.469
mom was, you better not, you better not. You

00:46:58.469 --> 00:47:01.929
don't know what kind of hurt is coming your way.

00:47:07.630 --> 00:47:17.150
If you're not there at Sunday breakfast, they're

00:47:17.150 --> 00:47:21.980
talking about your ass. Yeah, that's the kind

00:47:21.980 --> 00:47:24.719
of family I got, bro. And it's hilarious because

00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:27.000
it's, you know, it's cheese, man. It's everybody

00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:29.059
just talking about everybody. But, you know,

00:47:29.059 --> 00:47:31.420
when we're all together, it's just a whole big

00:47:31.420 --> 00:47:34.500
ball of just comedians, man. Like, everybody's

00:47:34.500 --> 00:47:36.260
funny, man. Like, my uncle's the kind of dude.

00:47:36.300 --> 00:47:38.639
Like, my uncle Carlos is the kind of dude that

00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:41.179
was a breakdancer boxer back in the day. And,

00:47:41.179 --> 00:47:43.199
you know, this guy would dance any song that

00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:45.840
you put on. I used to take him to, like, go hang

00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:48.000
out at the Autobars. And he would give lap dances

00:47:48.000 --> 00:48:01.480
to ladies for buckets of beer. There was this

00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:03.860
one time there was this girl she was in a wheelchair

00:48:03.860 --> 00:48:06.940
and it was her birthday so you know like the

00:48:06.940 --> 00:48:08.980
homeboys were there was her cousin and they're

00:48:08.980 --> 00:48:10.940
like hey tell Carlos to give her a lap dance

00:48:10.940 --> 00:48:13.420
tell him to give her a lap dance so I tell my

00:48:13.420 --> 00:48:15.500
Theo my Theo goes out there bro and starts giving

00:48:15.500 --> 00:48:17.079
the chick a lap dance she's in a wheelchair in

00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:21.679
the middle of the dashboard And it's funny because

00:48:21.679 --> 00:48:24.260
she can't really dance. She's paralyzed. So my

00:48:24.260 --> 00:48:25.920
field starts telling her, whip that hair, girl.

00:48:26.019 --> 00:48:33.099
Whip that hair. We were drinking beer all night.

00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:43.519
Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Like, you know, that's

00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:45.940
the kind of people that we have, man. You know,

00:48:46.059 --> 00:48:48.400
when back in the day, the UFC, they used to show

00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:52.380
them at the racetrack here in Orange. Yeah. Me

00:48:52.380 --> 00:48:54.980
and all my feels were all go see the fight. And

00:48:54.980 --> 00:48:56.719
then we would all tell the they would tell otherwise.

00:48:56.860 --> 00:48:58.400
Oh, no, no, no, we're going to go to church afterwards.

00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:01.139
We'll see you apply 69 to the Tejano club to

00:49:01.139 --> 00:49:03.639
go dance with Senores. And like, it was just,

00:49:03.780 --> 00:49:06.000
man, just literally a group of Senores and me

00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.059
hanging out with them, you know, as a young kid,

00:49:08.059 --> 00:49:09.900
you know, just going out to the Tejano bars.

00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:12.599
And these guys are crazy, bro. And my feel was

00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:14.630
known for that. He would walk up to chicks like,

00:49:14.869 --> 00:49:17.110
oh, you want to dance? Buy me a beer. Oh, next

00:49:17.110 --> 00:49:23.170
one. I don't know, dude. Something tells me next

00:49:23.170 --> 00:49:26.289
time we have Anthony, he's got to bring your

00:49:26.289 --> 00:49:29.110
uncle, bro. Oh, bro. We want to meet this guy.

00:49:29.510 --> 00:49:31.670
We want to meet this guy. A lot of the stories,

00:49:31.670 --> 00:49:34.489
man, that I have that I say on stage is because

00:49:34.489 --> 00:49:37.329
of him, man. Like I grew up, you know, I tell

00:49:37.329 --> 00:49:39.030
people it's funny because he found out that I

00:49:39.030 --> 00:49:41.190
was a gang member when I was like about like

00:49:41.190 --> 00:49:43.769
13. And he said, like, no, I'm going to take

00:49:43.769 --> 00:49:45.710
him under my wing. Like, I thought this was,

00:49:45.869 --> 00:49:48.050
like, my standby me moment. Like, he's going

00:49:48.050 --> 00:49:49.949
to show me right from wrong. I'm going to be

00:49:49.949 --> 00:49:52.690
a lawyer or some shit. Like, nah. This guy took

00:49:52.690 --> 00:49:55.650
me with all of his homies. And he said, like,

00:49:56.210 --> 00:49:57.590
I'm going to have a gang member. I'm going to

00:49:57.590 --> 00:50:01.309
show you real gang members. So, like, just hanging

00:50:01.309 --> 00:50:03.690
out there, bro, and watching all these senoritas

00:50:03.690 --> 00:50:06.349
and everything. Like, OGs just talking to each

00:50:06.349 --> 00:50:08.309
other. And I seen them just roasting and laughing

00:50:08.309 --> 00:50:11.849
and have the jokes and have the scenes. you know

00:50:11.849 --> 00:50:14.210
like little stuff like in Las Juarez we had a

00:50:14.210 --> 00:50:16.449
midget like he was a little guy in the hood but

00:50:16.449 --> 00:50:19.190
he was a señor yeah and that dude like we would

00:50:19.190 --> 00:50:20.969
like pick on him like oh can the rollies you

00:50:20.969 --> 00:50:22.909

00:50:22.909 --> 00:50:24.250
you know we're like we're like pick on him like

00:50:24.250 --> 00:50:26.269
we wanted to fight him and that little guy would

00:50:26.269 --> 00:50:27.829
look at you because he had a big old mustache

00:50:27.829 --> 00:50:36.860
you would just look into your face and say Pay

00:50:36.860 --> 00:50:39.840
attention to the little man. Pay attention. Pay

00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:42.980
attention. Also, people, if that guy was at least

00:50:42.980 --> 00:50:44.699
5 '2", I would cross the street whenever he's

00:50:44.699 --> 00:50:50.460
coming around. As you're saying, your Tio, he

00:50:50.460 --> 00:50:53.679
should be the next Bronco 95. No, no. He's not

00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:55.659
the next Bronco 95. What he's supposed to be

00:50:55.659 --> 00:50:58.780
is a Tio 956. That's what he needs to be, a Tio

00:50:58.780 --> 00:51:01.659

and everything. You know, so when I showed up,

00:57:36.909 --> 00:57:38.909
like, I don't know why in my head I was expecting

00:57:38.909 --> 00:57:41.309
to have like a creepy little voice. He's just

00:57:41.309 --> 00:57:44.369
a regular dude. I walked down, like, hey, what's

00:57:44.369 --> 00:57:47.530
up, man? He shook my hand. Like, it's crazy because

00:57:47.530 --> 00:57:49.210
he's cool as hell, man. Shout out to the lizard

00:57:51.289 --> 00:57:53.469
a touring comedian, too. But he opens up for,

00:57:53.469 --> 00:57:55.489
like, rock bands and stuff. You know, really

00:57:55.489 --> 00:57:57.989
cool dude. Really, really down to earth. And

00:57:57.989 --> 00:58:01.170
it's crazy because I don't know why I expected

00:58:01.170 --> 00:58:04.530
his skin to be scaly. But, like, when I shook

00:58:04.530 --> 00:58:06.429
his head and he came in, like, he came in, like,

00:58:06.449 --> 00:58:08.530
you know, bad as hell. But I'm like, oh, he's

00:58:08.530 --> 00:58:12.909
just a regular person, like. He's not going to

00:58:12.909 --> 00:58:20.000

Austin. He's been doing a lot of work in Austin

00:58:31.900 --> 00:58:34.599
right now. Oh, right, right. Yeah, the dude just

00:58:34.599 --> 00:58:36.980
had a lot of experience, man, a lot of knowledge

00:58:36.980 --> 00:58:39.320
about touring on the road, you know, telling

00:58:39.320 --> 00:58:42.239
me about doing the shows with, because I was

00:58:42.239 --> 00:58:44.099
letting them know I also do shows with bands,

00:58:44.280 --> 00:58:47.489
local bands. Like I've worked with popular loner,

00:58:47.630 --> 00:58:49.309
you know, I've worked with, you know, a couple

00:58:49.309 --> 00:58:51.090
of local rappers, you know, like if they have

00:58:51.090 --> 00:58:53.110
album release parties, I'll host the show, but

00:58:53.110 --> 00:58:56.349
just so that I can work on different crowds.

00:58:56.769 --> 00:58:58.730
And then, you know, if I'm doing like a three

00:58:58.730 --> 00:59:01.809
hour set with the rapper, so I'm doing comedy

00:59:01.809 --> 00:59:05.309
in between each band, each group, five minutes

00:59:05.309 --> 00:59:06.969
in between while they're setting up, I'm keeping

00:59:06.969 --> 00:59:08.869
the people entertained. So that kind of works

00:59:08.869 --> 00:59:10.909
a comedy muscle of having stuff on the spot.

00:59:11.250 --> 00:59:12.909
You know, talk about this, talk about that, talk

00:59:12.909 --> 00:59:14.710
about this, and they're hosting and stuff. So

00:59:14.710 --> 00:59:16.349
he had a lot of advice on that because that's

00:59:16.349 --> 00:59:18.710
what he does. He does a lot of that. And, you

00:59:18.710 --> 00:59:20.329

and Hyena Comedy Club in for in Dallas forward.

01:01:45.650 --> 01:01:49.369
Oh Yeah, because during Colbert when everything

01:01:49.369 --> 01:01:51.469
was locked down we went on vacation out there

01:01:51.469 --> 01:01:53.789
and we were walking around downtown and everything

01:01:53.789 --> 01:01:57.489
and I saw it and I just I fell in love with it

01:01:57.489 --> 01:01:59.989
and the owner was, I guess, cleaning up around

01:01:59.989 --> 01:02:01.989
there and everything was closed. We all had our

01:02:01.989 --> 01:02:03.389
masks on and stuff. And I just told him like,

01:02:03.469 --> 01:02:06.530
hey, man, like I was maybe about a year, about

01:02:06.530 --> 01:02:08.590
a year and a half, maybe two years in the comedy

01:02:08.590 --> 01:02:11.809
and still a punk. And I asked him like, hey,

01:02:11.849 --> 01:02:14.389
man, I'm trying to do stand -up comedy. You know,

01:02:14.389 --> 01:02:17.110
this is my first comedy venue. Like I've seen,

01:02:17.449 --> 01:02:18.650
like is there any way I could check it out? I

01:02:18.650 --> 01:02:20.750
was like, all right, man. So he let me go in

01:02:20.750 --> 01:02:23.230
there and look at the main stage. And I mean,

01:02:23.230 --> 01:02:25.230
I just fell in love with it, man. Like I just

01:02:25.230 --> 01:02:27.409
fell in love with it. To me that's always been

01:02:27.409 --> 01:02:29.829
the goal, you know a lot of communities be like,

01:02:29.829 --> 01:02:31.909
oh it's not that big of a stage to me That's

01:02:31.909 --> 01:02:33.530
always been the goal to at least perform there

01:02:33.530 --> 01:02:36.349
because I will at least know me I worked hard

01:02:36.349 --> 01:02:38.769
from the day that I first saw it to get here

01:02:38.769 --> 01:02:41.190
and perform here Now, you know, so right now

01:02:41.190 --> 01:02:43.110
it's just about making as much noise as I can

01:02:43.110 --> 01:02:45.989
man making as much noise, you know Performing

01:02:45.989 --> 01:02:47.949
to my best anytime I hit the stage. I tell people

01:02:47.949 --> 01:02:49.909
all the time. I don't care There's six people

01:02:49.909 --> 01:02:52.269
in the crowd. This is my HBO special exactly

01:02:52.269 --> 01:02:55.929
exactly I got six people, I'm gonna rock those

01:02:55.929 --> 01:02:58.449
six people's work tonight. Exactly, yes. I got

01:02:58.449 --> 01:03:00.510
a venue full of people, because I've worked with

01:03:00.510 --> 01:03:02.769
Chingo Blaine, with Raymond Orta, we've done

01:03:02.769 --> 01:03:06.289
giant crowds, man, big crowds. And I'll rock

01:03:06.289 --> 01:03:08.289
that crowd the same way I'll rock a little crowd,

01:03:08.570 --> 01:03:10.730
because if you're coming out here and you're

01:03:10.730 --> 01:03:11.929
giving me your attention, I'm gonna give you

01:03:11.929 --> 01:03:14.010
the best. I'm not just gonna brush it off and

01:03:14.010 --> 01:03:16.210
say, this is nothing, like, no, I need you to

01:03:16.210 --> 01:03:18.449
walk away and say, he was the best tonight. You

01:03:18.449 --> 01:03:20.469
know, I want you to, and I tell people, like

01:03:20.469 --> 01:03:21.710
I say it all the time, that you may not know

01:03:21.710 --> 01:03:23.760
who I am. But by the time you leave, you're never

01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:25.400
gonna forget me. There you go. That's always

01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:28.300
my goal. That's always my goal. The lasting impression.

01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:31.420
There you go. Yeah, yeah. So this is the last

01:03:31.420 --> 01:03:35.320
question before we sign off, man. And we bid

01:03:35.320 --> 01:03:38.480
you adieu and all the good stuff. When it's all

01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:42.000
said and done, Anthony, time goes by 50, 70,

01:03:42.079 --> 01:03:46.000
60 years into the future. It's all said and done.

01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:51.650
How would you like to be remembered? He took

01:03:51.650 --> 01:03:54.389
a chance, man. I took a chance. You know, that's

01:03:54.389 --> 01:03:55.969
always the message I've already shown my kids.

01:03:56.050 --> 01:03:58.610
Like, whether I failed or succeed in this game,

01:03:58.949 --> 01:04:01.469
I took a chance. And I tried my hardest. There

01:04:01.469 --> 01:04:04.389
was a lot of things I never did, you know, that

01:04:04.389 --> 01:04:06.630
I saw through to the end. This is something that

01:04:06.630 --> 01:04:08.650
I'm going to see through to the end. You know,

01:04:08.650 --> 01:04:10.250
and I just want people to know that, you know,

01:04:10.250 --> 01:04:12.050

01:04:12.050 --> 01:04:14.429
Nine -Five -Six. And I take this everywhere I

01:04:14.429 --> 01:04:16.010
