And we got a great episode for you with our man Rodel Ortiz, our first Dominican person ever on the show.
And it was fun.
It was informative.
And don't take the C train.
Don't take the C train or the A train.
Yeah.
What's up everybody?
Welcome to another episode of History.
Hayenas.
We've got Chrissy D.
Yanni P.
And then, I believe we have now,
I believe this is our first Dominican guest,
Roddell Ortiz.
Let's fucking go.
Let's go.
Let's it, baby.
Today we're doing Historia
andiani.
So, that's right.
During Black History Month, we said,
we're going to get Dominican.
And so how this happened.
And Nick just took a sneaky picture.
you? Look at him. He was to tell his
whole family. Right. Nick,
right, Nick, we said, you know what?
Nick, Nick got excited. So for
us, what happened, right?
So what happened was, is
we, your manager, who I know
Dex, he, we wanted
David Cross on the podcast like a month
ago. And then some shit fell through, whatever.
So Dex is like, oh, I, whatever,
hook it up with David Cross, but he was like,
let's get you. And I said,
I said, okay. And because
we've been doing comedy like, so
long. We just don't know what's going on in the internet
anymore. We're just old boomers.
Like, we just do our shit and forget about it.
So I looked, I said, this guy's funny and
more importantly, he's got 2 million followers. That'll help
us. So now we're at the
point where we're just saying, you know what?
Just come on the show and tell
our fans who probably know about
you already. Just tell them everything
and be funny and we'll go violent and give you a cut.
Well, we just found out too.
Very funny. My mother-in-law follows
you online. Yeah, yeah.
And what did you call her?
Don't do? He's the lucky Cedar
Yeah
Yeah
Oh you know my mother-in-law
Yeah we talk
Are you date my mother-in-law?
Hey man
You talk to his mother-in-law online?
Of course, bro
Yeah
She's
Yeah she does look at
Yeah
I'll fuck with you
I've never spoken to her
But you probably have actually
You don't realize that you might
I respond
I'll be responding
So you got a lot of older ladies
Who come to your shows
Yeah
Yep
Yeah
Yeah
A lot of older women
Who have never
Gone to a comedy
show ever. Right. Right. That's what I love about the internet is it's made everyone into comedy.
Everyone into comedy and we're all in our own little zones. Like there's no reason to be like,
like who was a good example. Like Kevin Hart is like generally famous, right? Now we're all just known to
our fan. We all got our little pockets. And that's good enough. I think that's better actually because
you've become generally famous and everybody knows who you are everywhere you go. That's not a fun life at all.
Now it's like, oh, this person knows me, and then the people over there are like, who is that?
And I'm like, that's what I want to hear.
That's what I want to hear.
I want the person taking a picture of me in public to be like, I don't know who the fuck you are.
That's actually comforting to me because then I'm like, okay, you're safe.
Yeah.
It used to be you learn how to do comedy live, you know, and now I think you work out your comedy on.
I think everyone just does it online, which is the same thing.
It's fine.
It's the different way to do it.
Were you inspired to do comedy by Morisa?
Absolutely not.
Right.
But I did.
Did you know who?
At course.
Come on, man.
You fucking, you basically started like the whole shit, bro.
Yeah.
You were one of the like that's.
Oh, yeah.
It's like 15 years enough.
It's 16 years ago.
So I first saw that when it first came out.
Sure.
It was hilarious.
And then I was never like, I never like was into like the comedies like to go to go to
comedy clubs and stuff.
Right.
But then later on, I forgot maybe like two or three years ago, I saw you somewhere online.
And I'm like, yo, this is that.
fucking guy, bro.
Right.
Yeah.
Yo, that's that app pussy guy.
And what's big, you do comedy in Spanish too, right?
Yeah, so.
So, what I show is like Spanglish.
That's amazing.
So it's like mostly English, but then some of the, a lot of the punchlines are in
Spanish.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because it cultivates your own audience.
Yeah.
Right.
I have had some people who was pissed, though, because they would come and, and, you know,
were they bad that you were doing it in Spanish or?
Some people, I did the,
The Chicago Improv and...
Sure.
A lot of Puerto Ricans.
A lot of Latino in Chicago.
So that was
like my first time ever doing stand-up in Chicago.
And I had a comment on
Facebook that just made me...
It said, don't go see this guy
unless you speak Spanish.
He completely panders to Mexicans.
That's a happy crying.
Wow, that's a Chicago comment.
Yeah.
You would figure that would be
a different state
comment.
Yeah.
You can get those in Chicago, too.
Yeah.
You should have just said, bro, I'm most offended
by the fact that you didn't understand
that they weren't Mexican.
Right.
Right.
Now, because I have a full Puerto Rican family,
I'm the white leader of a Puerto Rican,
a small Puerto Rican five.
And you have a Puerto Rican alter ego.
Is it okay that you're Dominican,
is there beef with us and you?
Absolutely not, bro.
Okay.
I was going to say you actually look a lot more handsome in person.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
John Stamos said the same thing.
People say that.
And then it kind of,
makes sense why my career isn't a bigger place because I don't look good on camera.
And the camera likes you.
No, but you have to look good on camera in this business.
Yeah, but the camera likes you, but yeah, you don't have the traditional dominative Hollywood look.
What does diminutive mean?
Is that a Dominican?
Are you trying to see Dominican?
No.
Like small.
Like you notice they're all small.
No, they have shalame.
But they have big heads.
Yeah, but they're tiny people.
Yeah, they're pretty Hollywood.
Right.
Look kind of like, you know, like even Leonardo.
Caprio. He was a skinny guy.
You look like a big guy. Like you're like
you go for like in Hollywood, you'd be like a
bouncer. But what about Kevin James? He was a big
boy. He was a big fat guy.
Yeah, he was underdog looking.
He liked the fucking high school fucking
the jockey as well no, but the problem is a casting director told me
this I've said it on the podcast many times. He said you
I'm not castable because I have leading
man face best friend body.
And that was it and he cast
Seinfeld so he knows he was in very accurate
casting director and I haven't been cast in anything since he told
that in 2006.
Yeah.
I wonder what the fuck he'd say about me, bro.
You're capable.
All I've been getting is the fucking the bodega guy, bro.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you know what?
You take a few bodega guys and that's just what it is.
Yeah.
They say I have like a villain face.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I could see that.
I mean, but a friendly villain.
You put some tattoos on me, bro.
I do look a little.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I could see that, but I also think there's a likeability.
So you have a softness to your face, though.
Yeah.
I won't see villain.
I want to be the fucking
The handsome lead role
Well that I don't know about that
The guy who fucking steals her purse
Right
And then they got to fucking chase after me
I don't think that's in mind
In your future though
No really
Yeah
You're gonna have to create
It's in his future
Yeah
Right
You have to create your own show
To get a role like that
Yeah
Sometimes I just wake up
I feel handsome
I think it looks today
No no
No you look today
What don't you like about your look today
I think it looks good
Yes. So this year, I didn't let it. My mustache is just looking very...
I think you look good. You know what? You know what the problem is with Latino guys?
Because you do, when you let it grow like that, it is, it does look a little Middle Eastern and it just makes things a little harder for you in and out of the airport.
When I was younger, I used to have the bare face and a good jawline, but...
That's what Angela used to say. He used to say he the most in the airport, he felt very Middle Eastern.
Yeah, because it's, I got to be honest, as it as it's, as it's, as.
you know, as obviously the face of an ice agent
and the heart of a TSA agent,
I would say that I'm probably going to just ask you
maybe one, I'm not going to fully take you offline,
but I'd like to ask you a follow-up.
Yeah. Can you show me your hotel reservation?
Yeah.
That's all.
Just give me a confirmation.
I'm not happy with that, bro.
Yeah.
I know, but you got to just, you know what I mean?
I'm sorry, it's what it is.
Yeah.
Now, you grew up in East New York.
Yes, sir.
That's a tough area.
People who don't know, that is not gentrified.
Even to this day, there's not gentrified.
There's no Starbucks there.
No, there was it like off the L train, East New York?
No, I was off the C train.
Whoa.
The C train, which is not even express.
Like, that's a.
Oh, bro.
Yeah, to Broadway.
They're not doing that show Subway takes on the C line.
No, sir.
Rima's not going over there.
Yeah.
I tell my daughters about the New York City train station.
I say, I want you to start learning the alphabet at F and up.
We can leave the A, C, the E.
That's all out of here.
Stay off of those trains.
I've never been on F train.
F train is a different train.
F train is a different train.
It's a different train.
You transfer for the F across from the C.
You can get, it goes to Park Slope and then it goes
it goes to Windsor Terrace.
It goes that.
Paulin Quartz is a real plate.
That's a real plate.
In New York.
You see, that reminds me the old New York.
That's the way it used to be is that you didn't even know another neighbor.
Like I didn't, I had never been to the Bronx.
before I went to a Yankee game.
And then back when we grew up,
it was very neighborhood by neighborhood.
You never even heard of Windsor Territory.
No.
Yeah, sure.
That's what I'm saying.
It's, I think we're too connected now as a society.
It's better that certain people don't know where Windsor Terrence is
and certain people don't know where the Bronx is.
It's just better.
It's just better.
Go in and out.
Go to the Yankee games.
Stop trying to buy a duplex apartment in the South Bronx.
Colin.
Stop it.
Is he trying to buy it?
No, not Colin.
I'm just used the name because I had Colin.
Colin Quinn in my head because Colin Quinn said that the, it's not the F train, that the L train after certain stuff gets gentrified.
Looks like a key lift.
It's very fun.
And another comic stole the joke.
Yeah, it was a very fun.
Yes.
And the other comic was from the Bronx.
Yeah.
So now you live close to Ozone Park?
Yeah.
Right.
I'm right by JFK over there.
Yeah.
You're right.
It's great area over there.
It's great.
And then Ozone Park is still very Italian?
Oh, yeah.
What is Ozone Park?
Yeah.
John Gotti.
Well, Ozone Park is, God, it's actually a melting park.
I'm in South Ozone Park, so it's like, it's a little,
Ozone Park is really like Guyanese and.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you take public transportation here from Ozone Park or you draw?
You got to drive.
Yes, so what level of success are you now?
He's not on the bus.
He's not on the bus.
No, no, no, no.
He's doing too well.
Even before my success, I quit that.
The bus is tough.
You can get on the subway, but taking a bus as just a man, it's tough.
No, it's just, I'd rather walk.
Yeah, I'd rather take the city.
You got to yell back door when they're not doing it.
No.
Yeah.
The bus is for, the bus is for like younger people.
Like if you're a 25 year old man, you shouldn't legally be allowed to get on a bus.
That's for them asshole teenagers coming out of school.
Get women on a bus or get young boys.
I don't have my, I won't have my lady on a bus, bro.
But I'm just saying I can understand a woman who wants to take the bus.
I get it.
But as a grown man, I just can't see a guy on a bus.
It's like a guy who doesn't know anything about sports.
It's just weird to me.
I'm not saying you've got to be an expert,
but it's just, I'd like you to stay away from my family.
If you don't know about sports or if you take a public bus,
I'm just not into you.
You know what I mean?
I'm just not into what you have.
I just don't want you around my family, that's all.
I'm still laughing about the back door.
That's funny.
It's funny.
Because when you're out of the bus, you got to yell back door.
You know, yo back door because he tries to leave.
Yeah.
You're trying to get off on the back door.
Yeah.
You got to scream that shit.
And the whole ride, you've been trying to look cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Serious.
And then it's kind of gay thing to yell back door.
Yeah.
Back, I know you hear me saying back door.
Sometimes they don't open it, bro.
Yeah.
I don't want to be on any mode of transportation where I know there's a possibility I could be on a dark web video page.
Sure.
You know what I mean?
Because those are always where you see the dark, like the bad violence happening at some CCTV footage that catches somebody on a bus.
Yeah.
And they try to hijack the bus driver and he starts shooting.
I don't want to be in anything where there needs to be security cameras.
I've had a couple.
scary stories on the train, bro.
Tell us what happened.
The sea train, bro.
The sea train, bro. The sea train, bro.
Yeah.
And this was back in like 0, 03, 04.
Wow.
Real bad gangs, bro.
Bloods and the Patrias and Lent Kings.
And I remember when I was on the sea train with my girlfriend at the time, that bitch.
Sure.
She's, oh, man.
And these three kids, but we was kids also.
And one of them was a tall, skinny lesbian,
lady who had on a du rag.
Okay.
And, um, sir.
Once you put a du rag on your woman, I think you deserve a sir.
Yeah.
And then it was, she was with two dudes.
And I remember I was, I was on my sidekick, Alex.
Yeah.
Great phone.
Old school.
And she had a PSP in her hand.
And she was like, yo, what time is it?
And by the way, that's the ultimate.
You're about to get robbed.
Right.
Sure.
Right.
What time is it?
Right.
You know what I mean?
See her asking you that with her watch on.
Right.
Well, with your watch on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Before they actually, because I've seen them over there,
before they walked up to me, I put it away.
Smart.
Because I already felt that.
What time is it?
I'm, oh, I don't know.
I can't tell you.
So you sure?
How do you talk to your pretty girlfriend?
I'm like, oh, man, you know, we're just, the internet and shit.
Yeah.
And then we got off on that very next stop because I was like, yo, you know, we was in the corner seat.
Yeah.
That corner seat is dangerous.
Yeah, because that's where you could get piled up.
Uh-huh.
You jumped.
Yeah.
Smart.
So I got off right there on the next stop.
It wasn't even my stop.
I just got off.
I know that feeling.
Yeah.
It's my stop.
Yeah.
And she came with you, your girl.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then we got back on the next train.
And right when we get to Broie Junction, you know, they have a precinct there.
Yeah.
In the station.
Those three motherfuckers was in handcuffs.
Wow.
Yes.
Because they robbed somebody.
Yes.
And one of them was a lesbian in Durag.
Yes.
Yeah.
You got to, yeah.
Because she's, she's, you got to be most scared.
her because she got the most to prove.
And that was 2003?
2004. And those are the good old
days when those people are still in prison today.
They didn't get right out.
This is what I respect about the Broadway
Junction shop. They have a precinct
in there, but most of the crime happens
at that stop. Sure. They love
to continue. You can get robbed
at the Broadway Junction stop.
Right. Broadway Junction. That shit is there. Yeah.
And there's a precinct there, but they don't care. They will do it
right there. Yeah, they'll do it right there. Yeah, they'll do it
right away. And it's one of those
things where like I think people you have to grow up in New York City like you grew up in
New York City where that would happen a lot it was the whole thing I got in that I was right in that
time where things were happening but you would get arrested and do real time if you did some
real shit so there was a little bit of fear in the criminals but when you were growing up there
was zero fear in the criminals it was just it was just a time where there was a good chance you
were just going to get jumped that's what I remember one time I went into the train station
And it was Grand Army Plaza
And we went downstairs
It was me and my friend Zach Zarba
Who's now an NBA refs
He's gonna ref the final
Yeah
We walked down the station
And it was just if you went out at a certain time
There was a school John Jay
And if they were letting out
It was just we walked down the stairs
And it was you just knew it
There was like just a pack of kids
And you just like I had a walkman
And I was just like
This isn't my walkman anymore
I should have just handed it
That's what you're supposed to do
Is you just hand it
When you should have
Looking back, I should have been like here.
See, because then I wouldn't have got hit.
I remember a guy picked me up and he dropped me on a floor and I was really close to the tracks.
See, and what I like about, Rondell, is he's, you can tell like a nice guy and has that niceness in him where he knew to get off the train.
And he's like, I'm not going to do those things and engage in that criminal activity.
I'm not going to do that.
I see that.
I want to go another way.
I want to become successful.
As opposed to Sergio, Chacon, our other Latino friend who would beat up drug dealers with his bare hands.
just to get a little bit of money
and now is over here on Mushrooms
saying he's a spiritual leader
when I know used to beat up drug dealers
when he was 15 years old.
He might have been that skinny lesbian
with the du wreck that tried to rock.
Might have been him.
Might have been him.
I would, my thing is
I'm always protective of the women.
Yes.
So if I was alone, it would have been different,
you know?
Or if I was with my friends,
it would have been different.
If that was me in that situation
I was with the woman,
I would have looked at her
and been like,
either she got the message
that I'm getting off at the next station
or he didn't.
No, the thing is with Johnis
and I'm okay with this too.
Janus is okay with running and biting.
Yeah.
Yonis is okay in a fight to bite.
You got to.
It's okay if he'll bite somebody.
Oh, I'll bite the fuck out of so.
I'll take the chomp out of somebody, bro.
You've got to be able to bite to?
That's why I've been taking, you know, Krav Maga, the Israeli street fighting?
No.
So I've been taking these classes with Kroff Maga and part of it is it's, you know,
martial arts and jiu-jitsu and all that is an art form and it's beautiful.
Croft Maga was invented by the Israelis because they're surrounded by their enemies over there,
where it's just end the fight.
So they're teaching you.
grab the nuts, gouge the eyes, bite
somebody. This is not about a martial art
and gaining points. This is in a street fight.
Just end it. Just don't even
there's no negotiate. If you get back
into a corner and you can't negotiate
with the person, then you end it. They teach you
how to disarm people with guns and knives, stabs
somebody. Grab their knots, bite them,
just move on. Or do which I kind of like that.
Can't grab nobody nuts in
East New York, bro. That shit.
I mean,
I generally don't love
prank videos because they make me feel uncomfortable,
ones that I do like that I think are funny is when the dude goes to like a dangerous area
and he starts something with the guy and then he gets naked and the guy runs away.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It just shows you like you can always win if you just if you try to do something gay to the guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The guy will just not want to fight you.
The toughest guys would be like, what'd you say to me?
And then the guy gets naked and the guy's like, yo, yo, man.
I'm not fighting nobody with their dick out.
They're dick out, no.
It's like a sex crime.
Yeah, yeah.
One time we got robbed, one time a bunch of my friends, we came up to 42nd Street.
They used to have a bunch of fake, you go get, like fake Nike's and shit.
Sure.
We used to call them Snikes.
Why?
Because it's fake Nike Snikes.
Remember that?
Snikis?
I don't remember that.
Our generation, our generation, called Snikis.
And my friend, he borrowed his older brother's Vanson jacket.
And this was the predator glow in the dark with the bonnet jacket.
It was like $1,200.
And this was like an $0.4.
and this group of dudes, bro.
They walked up.
We was on one of them long Manhattan blocks.
It was quiet.
And I remember I was the only friend who didn't take no money on this fucking.
I had no, I didn't buy nothing.
I was just broke as fuck.
And it was Halloween time.
And the dude pulls out a gun, bro.
And my friend has to take off his jacket and give it to them.
And I was just like standing on the outskirts.
They didn't have me like in the main huddle.
I don't know.
They like knew.
They sensed the poverty on me or whatever.
And then finally the dude says run your pockets.
Yeah.
So, brother, only thing, you know what I pulled out my fucking pocket?
I had some glow in the dark vampire plastic teeth.
Yeah.
You remember them?
Yeah, of course.
And the, mind you, these are fucking killers, bro.
Yeah.
He dead ass laughed in my face, bro.
Yeah.
With a gun, bro.
I still can't even believe that she has.
He was going like, this is what you have.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he let me keep it.
Yeah.
He let you keep him.
Yeah.
There's a lot of good criminals.
You still had the saliva string on it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, yeah.
Yeah.
Some, you know, everything is contextual, right?
It's not great to be poor unless you're in a situation where you get robbed.
That poverty helps.
That helps a lot.
You could save your life.
Oh, sorry for me, bro.
Yeah.
He left.
Yeah.
That is rough when the guy who is needs money and is robbing you laughs at you for being poor.
You know what's a thing, you know what's a thing, too, that Latinos do that I want to start
doing a lot of people in.
my wife's family do it, is they go by the middle name.
Your real name is Andy.
Yes.
First name's Andy.
The middle name's Roddell.
A lot, that's a very Latino thing to go by the middle name.
Like, if my name was Paul DeStefano, what do you think?
Is your middle name Paul?
My middle name's Paul.
You could be a Paul.
You could definitely be a fucking Paul.
Should I change it?
Because I like, because if I, your name is Andy Roddell, Ortiz.
Roddell is better.
Roddell, I don't even, when I first created Instagram, I just thought it would be cool.
Because I asked my parents where that name came from.
I don't know no fucking Roddell's.
Yeah, where is it?
They said it was the ring boy at their wedding.
That was his name.
His name was Radel.
Yeah, they're a black ring bearer.
Yeah, Roddell.
That's what they're telling you.
He's saying in English it sounds black, right?
Rodel.
Yeah.
But in Spanish, Radel.
Radel.
Radel.
Radel Ortiz.
And you know, I'm sure you know,
as a Dominican that the first New York City resident ever was Dominican.
Do you know that?
No, I didn't know that.
That's a fun fact, yes.
Who the fuck was that?
Juan, I forgot his last name, but Juan, something.
if Google, he was the first New York City resident ever
was a Dominican kid. I think his name was Juan Rodriguez.
I actually think that was his name.
My middle name would not be. Yeah, Juan Rodriguez,
a multilingual Afro-Latino born in Santo Domingo,
was the first non-native settler of Manhattan in 1613,
came in on a Dutch ship free as a trader living among the Lenape,
which was the Native American tribe that Manhattan was, you know,
lived on by it. And then before the Dutch came. So Dominican,
so you're a pioneer, my friend. You better fucking believe.
it. A founding father. And Bad Bunny did this shit last night. Yeah. I'm going to come talk Spanish
this whole podcast. We liked it. We're in the camp of we liked it. Yeah. It was great. I love it.
Listen, if you're not, if you got to go to Miami. Miami is the spot where you get all of the
Latin cultures in one city. Oh yeah. And it's just Latin American culture is just fun.
What I think what I think racist white people would really benefit from is.
is because, you know, I am immersed in Latino culture now.
My whole family is Puerto Rican and majority of when people,
and I say my family, my house is full.
It's full of Puerto Rican people.
She has a much bigger family and they're very family-oriented, good people.
But I think they had a fire escape put in on his window.
We live in the country, but we got a firescape, we got a Johnny Club.
We just want to make them feel good.
We got, there's a bodega downstairs.
Yeah.
And so we, so what I think they would want to know is,
is like the racist white people is the Latinos are just as racist.
They're racist against some of the most racist things I've ever heard in my life
with my mother-in-law saying shit.
And I'm like, I really wish people knew that we're all fucking alike here.
We all hate everybody.
There's definitely some racist Latinos, bro.
100%.
100%.
And I always just find it fascinating where I'm like, no, no, no, no.
You got to understand.
And anybody who's man at the Bad Bunny thing, I think is just kind of ignorant,
Why would you not want to watch hot Latino women dancing around?
And for the fellas, a couple of hot guys grinding their bengas on each other.
That was all nice to see.
I mean, I can't imagine the alternative country Western halftime show that they said was any more fun than this.
Because you know, you know, Super Bowl, football season, we were getting banged up having a few booze.
And I told you I wanted to stop drinking because I was getting hung over, getting depressed.
But we found something called Cheers Restore that helps.
restore you the next day after you have a few booze.
Yes.
This is a beautiful, beautiful thing.
Obviously, there are more negative effects from alcohol than just dehydration.
We all know that.
We're all drunk.
You've got to think, how could alcohol be hard on your brain and liver?
Yeah.
It has a depressing effect on specific receptors in your brain and it's toxic to your liver.
So there's more stuff going on.
Because there's more stuff going on.
And that's why I like to be restored because the way I look at you, because the way I look at you,
because is you're like you're you're an older you're an older piece you know what I mean
so you're not to be renovated or to be restored that's what I'm going to do to you know
you got to get your chimney restored yeah I mean not renovated this is great if you're drinking
and then the next day you just want to feel good let's want to feel good you want to go back
to normal I'm telling you with cheers you're going to feel about 50% better the next day
or your money back basically two drinks feel like one the next morning all you do is take three
capsules after your last drink or before
bed. Now, this isn't for college binge
drinking, okay? If you want to do 12 tequila shots,
you're probably going to feel rough. We're talking about
mature, older drinking, but if you're
a normal adult responsibly having two, three,
or four drinks, you're going to feel significantly
better with cheers.
That's a guarantee. Yanni, tell them how they could get
a discre. Well, I just want to tell you, this has been
on Shark Tank, and supposedly people
really like this thing. I'll tell you right now,
I like to have a couple glasses of wine once in a while. I'm
trying this shit. It's just what it is
because, yeah, I like to pitch my ideas
to Tank Sinatra, and I call it Shark Tank Sinatra.

Now the old stereotype, remember when we were kids, the old stereotype for some reason was
Dominicans don't have socks.
And I still don't understand that.
No, no, Dominicans wear sandals with socks.
Puerto Ricans wear no socks with sand.
Yeah, but the joke was always.
no sock.
100%
And I don't know why that
They don't wear socks
But only with sandals I thought
No
The reverse I haven't reversed
In the Greeksans are socks
Sandals
Now why is that
Is that the Caribbean culture
Like they just don't wear socks
Is it real?
100%
It's 100% true
That that that was a thing
Yeah
And I used to wear
fucking two socks
Like just so people
Didn't fucking
So you have on socks
Right now
Absolutely
His socks have socks
Yeah
Yeah
I honestly don't know
I honestly don't know
Where it came from
But it is
Well you're saying
you knew it came from that they didn't.
A lot of times they didn't.
But a lot of older, like,
Dominicans would not wear socks
and just be cool with it.
Just raw dog in the shoes.
Probably better for your feet.
Absolutely not, bro.
You think it's bad for the feet?
Yeah, it's bad, bro.
I mean, imagine putting fucking no socks
on some Timberlin boots, bro.
Yeah.
You have nothing to absorb the sweat.
Do you think any of the baseball players
are playing with no socks?
Yeah, probably.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Juan Soto 100%.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, and, and, you know,
In New York, it's Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, you know, that's like the main, and everyone always said they had beef.
But I never found that, and I found that Dominicans, at least where I used to live on Staten Island, so many Dominican's own businesses.
Dominicans are very, very, very, like, high up Caribbean nation.
Nah, they go crazy, bro.
Dominicans definitely, I mean, we got the fucking tax services.
Everything.
Yeah.
How about this?
Bodegas, the barbershops, restaurants for days.
Dude, one time, it was actually very, very funny.
It was just, I have a Dominican friend on Staten Island.
great guy, and we were in like a barbershop, and he was, they were watching YouTube and
Nick DePaolo came, this is everybody in the barbershop is Dominican, except me. I'm just a white
guy. They're all talking in Spanish. And then I don't know what it was like the YouTube. They
were playing shit on YouTube and a clip from Nick DePaolo's special came up. And the clip was,
I forgot, I'm like paraphrasing, but he's like, um, Nick is like, yeah, he's like, and then there's
this Dominican guy in traffic next to me driving a $200,000 car. I'm sure he's a dentist.
Oh, I know that. I know. And no. And no.
These guys started fucking dying laughing.
And I was like, oh, that's cool.
I was just like nobody was like,
because in a white place, if that was like reverse state,
like that, it's not okay.
Where Dominican guys were just fucking laughing at it.
And I was like, this is so easy to be around people like this.
Man, Dominican's the, the, if you want to hear some real fucking dark humor, bro,
in Spanish, bro.
Like, I was, I was telling Marcello, because I, you've seen it, Marcelo,
shout out Marcello, his Netflix.
Shout out.
I saw his fucking his same set in Spanish right at the stand and it was like three times more funny.
Yeah, because that's the rhythm of it.
Oh yeah, everything.
Everything about it.
Healing.
Punch lines just hit harder in Spanish.
And for me, that was great to see.
But my thing is like, it's that mix of English and Spanish.
Sure.
But Dominicans really get into the dark humor, bro.
Yeah.
They got some shit that I'll be like, bro, do not.
say that shit in English.
Do not.
You know, it was funny when I was a kid,
like, you know, obviously we're exposed
to so many cultures or whatever,
but I remember when I was real little,
you know, I think a Dominican was the first,
the first time I saw a black person speak in Spanish.
Right.
And I was like, I had to be like, what?
And that's how you learn about Dominicans.
Well, same thing.
I think everyone learns about Dominicans going,
like, they see a black person speaking Spanish.
And they go, hey, what are you?
And they go, Dominican.
You're like, oh, this Dominican.
Well, what's wild about the Dominican Republic is the same landmass as Haiti.
It's just divided by mountains, right?
Spanola.
Hispaniolia is called
Entile Island.
It's like Cyprus.
One side is Turkish.
It's a fascinating history.
The San Diego is the oldest
continuously inhabited
European settlement in the America.
So 1496.
The thing is, is like,
DR, my Dominican friend,
I mean, he's so business savvy.
Like, I feel like New York City
everyone always thinks about the Puerto Ricans,
but the Dominicans are actually the ones.
We run this shit, brother.
That's what it is.
But it's like, I don't know why
why is then that New York City
always think Puerto Ricans
are like the ones
who are talked about more
what do you think it is?
Puerto Rican,
there was a lot of Puerto Rican.
Oh,
the markets came later.
Yeah,
they came later,
a little later.
Well,
besides the first guy
who came.
Right.
But the Puerto Rico,
I think there's the most
Puerto Ricans
outside of Puerto Rico
are in New York.
And bro,
let me tell you something.
Every time my friend
would come back
from DR,
he would bring me
Leenda.
Oh, brother.
Wow.
Wow.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, I love that.
Love that.
When I drink that shit hot.
The trunk of a car, bro.
It's a rum, right?
Oh, yeah.
You've never had.
It's the smoothest rum I've ever had in my life.
He would bring it to me and I would just be like, I don't even know how to thank you.
It was amazing.
The first time I had that shit was in 2021.
Yeah.
I was on my way to a resort from the hood over there.
By the way, when you go, you got to go to both.
Go to the resort, but also spend some time in the hood, bro.
And the campo.
Right.
Yeah, it's really nice.
Is that safe for the whites?
Absolutely. Okay. Yeah.
I mean, don't, don't wear that.
Yeah. You're going to help me like, whoops.
Don't wear socks, bro.
I like it the same sentence. He said, yeah, it's safe, but don't wear your jewelry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a mixed best.
Yeah, don't be white. Yeah.
My cousin, I show you my cousin, he looks just like.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. My Dominican, all his family members were white, blonde hair, blue white.
Yeah, they got everything over there, bro. So it's not, it's not spooky. It's not like, you will
see somebody super white blonde hair blue eyes and just talking don't know a lick of english and just
straight right you are so it's not like you're gonna be over there and people gonna be looking at you
know obviously in certain hoods you can't go to but yeah right that's the first time i had legend

checking in booking the excursion smack bro that legend damn it's the best and knock you out
huh i know you was hip to that bro i would have fucking brought one i know all about it and
since I've moved off Staten Island, I miss my friend.
I just want to send me some Leander if you're listening.
Friends restaurants, they do carry that here.
Yeah.
We'll talk.
I know.
I mean, honestly, I mean, the food, I love Dominican food.
I'm big into the Dominican culture.
I just can't tell the wife that because she's Puerto Rican, but I'm also big into the Dominican porn.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You dirty girl.
I like that.
I just like it's more accessible.
It's Monday, bro.

Answers on Pornhub and it's
Muipey and E2
Did you know that Dominicans I think now
make up the majority
of the NYPD?
Oh there's a lot.
There you go.
Oh my God.
Oh.
I thought you got to say some Dominican cops
that I just look up
and I just see my cousin over here, bro.
Dominican big booty.
Follow it on Instagram.
That's what it is.
Janus will take a screenshot
of that, draw some dick and balls on the back
and be good to go.
Janice likes to see a little cock hangs from the best.
Bro, that literally looked like three of my cousins, bro.
I got to be honest with you,
it's so overwhelming for me that it actually wouldn't even make me horny.
I'd actually just walk away because I actually would just,
I don't act.
It's an overdrive.
You know what I mean?
It's too much.
It's,
it shot me off.
It's really something.
Like, I actually, I think because I think,
It is nice.
You know, take this up.
Yeah.
I mean, that is nice.
Yonis's glasses are fogging.
I remember when I first went to DR, I was like, like as an adult, you know?
Yeah.
And I was like 19.
And, you know, the women over there, they were, if you got money, they, you know, they're going to be on you.
Sure.
That's why I'm not allowed to go.
Exactly.
No, you over there, come on.
No, I fucking.
You would clean up, right?
I tried to, you know, the amount of times I've tried to just suggest to my family, like, oh, I'll do a show there.
She's like, you're not going on to ever.
You're not even flying over it.
I can't leave the continental United States.
I'm not allowed to.
You're on house arrest.
Yeah.
No, the first time, one of them girls was, it was like so into me that I just flaccid the whole time.
That's what I'm saying.
I couldn't.
Because it was like, bro, there's no way.
It's sometimes the women, they look like that, that my brain can't compute it.
And it just, I, there's nothing.
Is it intimidating?
Is it just too intimidating?
It was just like, you look really, really good.
And I know how I look.
You felt me?
Sure.
And it's like, I just, I just felt like something was up.
Ah, that's what it wasn't.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's your spidey sense.
I was too scared, bro.
My dick was scared.
Yeah, yeah.
I was soft.
Your skin knew you might get robbed before you.
Your dick was, your dick was more street smart than you are.
Exactly, bro.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dick was spooked out.
Yeah, dude.
I mean, it's, now who represents Dominican comedy other than, better than you?
Who was with the other Dominican comics?
I mean, right now, bro, you talk about fucking the big stage you got to
talk about Marcelo Hernane. He's Dominican? Oh no, he's half. He's got some. Oh, I didn't realize
he was Dominican. I thought he was just Cuban from Miami. No, he's half Dominican. Oh, okay.
Dominican, yeah. I love Marcelo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, great, great kid. He actually,
he had me come do some Spanish stand-up. Good. Yeah, at the stand.
Marcel, Marcel's one of those guys, like, from S&L, like, he's obviously a star already, but, like,
he's one that, like, you don't have to debate it. You're like, okay, if this kid goes,
he's out of here. He's a movie star, obviously. He's out of here. He's like. He's, he's
He's like one of those guys like, it used to be everybody on S&L was a guy like him,
like the Will Farrell's and all the, and everybody was the right cast.
And now it's like they pick a lot of people and it's like some are good,
some are like what is this person even doing?
But Marcello is almost like an old school pick.
Like, oh, he would have been on the cast in the 90s, you know?
Look at all.
They got their own scene down there too.
Look at this.
Who's Mario Moreno?
Got him thin flies.
Yeah, bro.
That's some definitely some bangers over here.
Doesn't Moreno mean black guy?
Mario the black eye.
Moreno,
moreno is definitely
a means dark skin.
Yeah.
But that's definitely
a last name over there.
Tin tan?
Is the Chinese guy?
Ting Tang.
Hermann Valdez.
See, this is Mexican cinema.
But this is what I'm saying,
we were having this debate
before about how so many people
were mad at the Bad Bunny Super Bowl.
And it's like, we live it,
people are thinking
that we're living 30 years ago.
It's like, bro,
there's an option for everybody.
Literally, anything you don't like,
there's no reason to comment
that you don't like it
because you can just find what you like immediately.
Right.
That's what the internet is.
So, like, even this, like, we have, like, this whole, like, Latino comedy scene that we don't, besides Marcello.
Oh, and, of course, a Kid Miro.
I don't know these other people.
That's right, bro.
Yeah.
Shout out of Kid Mero.
Shout out.

this is great. Punchline Dallas
I've never been to. But yeah, me neither. I haven't
been to a lot of, I did the Comedy Loft in D.C. That one is
I like that one. Hell yeah. That felt like grid.
When did you start stand-up? I started stand-up in 2004.
Oh shit, you've been doing this forever. Yeah. Yeah.
Or I'm fucking washed. Yeah. But you didn't stop since 2004. You were doing it
Consecutively. Actually, last year, so in 2024, we started, we did 60 shows.
In 2024. In 2024. And then we ended it in 2025 at the United Palace, my first theater show.
And that was fucking. Where was that? Washington Heights. Oh, Washington Heights. Oh, sick. Yeah.
Home town show. Yeah, we blew the doors off that bitch, bro.
$3,333,000. One night only. See, United Palace, that's great. Yeah. And then.
And after that, I was like, it's over.
I'm out of here.
Right.
It felt like, off on a high.
Yeah, it felt like the moment where I'm like, this is it.
And then your agent called and said, all right, we're going to Albany, we're going to Dallas, we're going to Rosemont, we're going to Washington.
Right after that, my grandma died.
Shit.
And you had to pay for a funeral.
I had to do that.
But then also, I was just like, fuck.
And also before that, during my 2024 run, my father passed away.
So it was like, my father passed away.
than my grandma.
And then I was just fucked, bro.
I was just miserable.
I didn't want to,
because even the week after,
the weekend after my father's funeral,
I had to fly back from DR and do five shows in Providence in Boston.
And I was just,
I was like,
God,
I don't know how I'm supposed to go up there
and tell jokes right now because I feel miserable.
Right.
I've been there.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
It's such a fucking,
it's a feeling that not many people have to experience,
because they can, you know, they could take a leave off work
or even their job is not to be happy.
Yeah, you gotta go up there pretend to be like,
I'm here to make you to cheer you up,
but who's gonna cheer me out?
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
It was definitely tough.
But then after that, bro, my grandma passed away,
I was just fucking miserable, sad, mental health, depression,
yeah.
Grieving.
10%.
Yeah, you were grieving.
Yeah, you were grieving.
Yeah, all of that, bro.
It was just like, and then the whole 20-25,
I was just, I felt like I was just,
out of it, like checked out. You barely were doing stand-up even. No, not at all. Zero. Not at all.
After the, after the big show, I didn't do none until the very, like in September, I went back up.
But from 2004 to 2004, you were doing it every night or on the weekend. Like, you were immersed in it.
Yeah, we was, I was definitely very active. I had a whole. You know, America doesn't give you much time to
grieve. Oh, no. No. Like other cultures, you know, like my mom said, like on the island when her grandparents
died, her grandmother, my great-grandfather died, he was 110.
Wow.
My great-grandmother, my mom's grandmother, this is the island of Crete, would wail every
day that he died so young.
At 110.
She's like, man, he left so young.
And she was like miserable and wore black for like two years.
Oh, yeah.
In America, it's like you got to get back to work.
They don't give you any time to process your grief.
No, Dominicans are like that too, bro.
We take death.
Greeks terribly.
I mean, we do the, I mean, you know, we're super Catholic.
Sure.
So they'll do the two weeks of prayer afterwards.
So it's like, sometimes I do, I am envious of some of the people who will throw a party for like their level.
Or celebrate the life.
Yeah, with music and shit.
Right afterwards just.
It's over.
It's funny how different cultures greet.
Because I got to be honest with you, like, I think it's Puerto Ricans too.
Like, again, that's what I have the kind of knowledge of now.
And, you know, when my wife's grandmother died, she was older, she battled a disease for a very long time.
Again, celebration of life.
I, you know, obviously knew, understood people would be upset, but I thought this lady lived a great life.
The way every family member, when they walked into that funeral home and saw her in the casket, every single one of them fell down, that I thought there's somebody with a sniper rifle shooting people from the back of the room.
I didn't understand what's happening.
So why is everyone falling down rolling on the floor?
And they're like, because Abolita died.
I said she was dying for the last eight years.
She's about 98 years old.
what's going on. I mean, people were on the floor. I actually asked Jazz, should I put a mat down?
What do I do here? Because people are falling. Someone's going to break their arms. She said, it's just, you got to let them grieve. I said, but people are fucking throwing. They're like, they're flexing themselves. They're hysterical crying on the floor. And you're Germany. You're looking and going to go, what is the big deal? I said, I don't know. I said, when are we going to eat? That's what this is for. But I literally, and Jazz actually had to tell me to stop laughing because I couldn't control it.
The motherfucker,
because after the eighth,
you have to understand,
coming from the white community
where, again,
we're just a little bit more cold
and about it.
And it's like,
specifically German.
Specifically German.
You close the casket,
you go to eat,
and then you move on.
But, you know,
sometimes you close the oven
and you move on.
And you move on.
But after seeing the eighth
or nine person hit the deck
in 20 minutes,
you can't help but just giggle a little bit.
I just didn't know what was doing,
what people were, you know, doing,
really.
You couldn't help a giggle.
I couldn't help a giggle a little bit.
And then,
And then...
No, we're dramatic, bro.
Dramatic.
Again, celebrate.
I love it.
Not making fun of it.
But to me, it was a shocker because people were just, you know, were falling face first into the chairs.
Because, let me tell you something.
Yeah.
This weekend I went to Vegas, right?
Uh-huh.
And Josephine, my Siberian Husky ate a sock.
Oh, no.
And we had to take her to the ER because they said it could ball up and, you know, block her and test it.
So we took her to the ER.
And thank goodness we had the ASPCA pet health insurance to help us through that.
Yes.

And my pet's particular quirk is she likes to eat my socks.
Yes, you've got to have some pet insurance.
Do dogs do that? Do they just eat socks?
puppies do stupid stuff.
Yeah, I mean, really, you got to be pretty dumb to eat a sock.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, they're not, listen, it's not a brain surgeon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I do love my dog, cut.
Yeah, it's a German kid.
She's a German-Siberian kid.

No, they'll do that.
And back then, it was worse.
Like, in the Campo, I remember my mom told me, like, when her great grandfather died,
that her grandmother, like, they would literally lose their fucking mind, bro.
Sure.
Like, they would be, like, biting the couch and shit.
Like literally, like hysterically done.
And even when my grandfather died, I had to physically remove my mom from the funeral.
I get it.
Like I had to take her out of there because she was fainting.
Right.
Like you've seen it.
If you've seen them, they'll throw themselves.
Yes.
All control of their bodies.
Yes.
Like, I feel like Latinos especially, like I feel like we don't really, we don't talk about, we don't, we're not accepting of death like a lot of other people are.
Right.
Like we just, yeah, you know, we pray everybody's going to be in heaven with Celia Cruz and all the people.
Sure.
But it's like when it actually happens, they just lose their shit, bro.
And I've been to too many funerals.
Sure.
I know.
And for me, like, I'm the man of the house.
I got to be strong and I got to be there for everybody.
Right.
And then I got to go home and cry and, you know, in the privacy.
You have wife, kids, all that?
I have a girlfriend.
No kids.
Yep.
Nice.
Nice.
Well, I mean, I.
It means a different life.
Do you want kids?
I love kids.
I do want kids, bro.
I do.
Right.
I have a, I've been with my girl for 10 years.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Does she want kids?
She doesn't mind.
So she also Dominican?
She's a Puerto Rican lady.
Whoa.
She's a Puerto Rican lady.
Yeah, she's 10 years, Puerto Rican, Dominican.
No kids is interesting.
Yeah, right.
I didn't know that was possible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Man, let me tell you something, bro.
This is this thing I learned when I was probably like 16.
It's pulling out.
thing you guys don't know dude i did it i've done it i got great pull out yeah i'm good at it you got three
you're not good at it then unless no i'm pulling fully out yeah no i'm telling you dude
puerto rican women are fertile yeah i'm pulling fully out he's pulling fully out he's no way bro every all my
kids are from pre-com really yeah my boy got some fucking viking he's got german pre-cum so it's like
it's gonna be a german person so yeah they don't they don't dribble out they fucking shoot out
It's the formation.
We keep going something.
Yeah, something in my sperm.
They just see the womb as France.
And they're like, take it.
They just see, they look ahead and I guess the eggs do look like little yarmikas.
So they just go dive right into them.
And then they fertilize it.
And I think it's just, yeah.
Yeah.
So you're Italian or German?
So I'm Italian and German, but when I did The Ancestry.com, it's mostly German.
I am actually mostly.
Oh, yeah.
I am most white as fuck.
White as fuck.
I just started watching the Sopranos for the first time ever, bro, last week.
What do you think of it?
Man, I fucking love this.
It's a great show.
Great show.
I'm on season two episode 10 or some shit.
Sure.
It's a fantastic show.
Man, I just missed those kinds of shows, bro.
It's like slow pace, but like just rich.
Also, you miss the whole script, right?
It could be the most boring scenario that's going on and it's still so entertaining.
Also, I think people miss those kind of guys.
You miss that kind of people.
Yeah.
You kind of just miss it a little bit.
You miss everybody having to be proper.
All right.
You miss everybody having to be politically correct.
You like a guy who's just going to tell you how it is once in a while.
I'm not saying everybody.
They're still there.
They're just not.
You got to throw them in a little bit more.
I think people feel a little calmer.
What did you feel a little calmer if you knew the mafia was running your neighbor?
They did keep the neighborhood safe.
I mean, the irony is they did.
The only problem is you, if you had a business, you'd have to give a cutaway.
Just like having a manager.
But then, but then are you worried?
Especially now.
I know the agent's necessary, but is the manager also necessary?
They were the manager.
There was the manager.
You had to give another 10%.
Give him a cut.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just nice.
It's nice to know.
Very similar.
Yeah, very similar.
You know, you missed the old world a little bit.
Now, did you grow up big baseball?
Big baseball?
My father was a big baseball fan and he put me, he was a big, uh, Red Sox fan.
Interesting.
Because I think Dominicans are probably the biggest baseball.
And the best baseball players, I think.
They're number one.
Yeah, he was.
And I couldn't get into Boston, bro.
I became a Yankees fan.
Okay.
He hated that.
Yeah.
How did he become a Red Sox fan in New York?
Man, Dominicans love Boston Red Sox, bro.
It's just a thing.
Even, yeah.
Why is that?
Like, not because of Big Pops.
Is that because of Manny?
Yeah.
Mani was also Dominican.
No, that was the Manny era, by the way.
This was the David Ortiz Manny era that my pops put me onto baseball.
But a lot of Dominicans in New York, bro, are Boston fans, which I think is atrocious.
You can't be that.
Shout out Boston.
You felt me.
I love y'all, but you can't be a Boston thing.
Yeah.
So I was a Yankees fan and then 09 World Series.
I cut school to go.
Yankees Phillies.
Yep.
I played against Manning.
I played as kids.
What do you mean?
In baseball?
He played for Bonnies.
Yeah, in baseball.
What's wild about Manny Ramirez is he was like a man.
He grew up in New York but never learned English.
I know.
Isn't that wild?
Washington Heights.
In Washington Heights, you can get by with.
that. You can get by not knowing the life. You not have to speak English. Just like in
Flushing Queens, you don't have to, you can just speak Chinese. I know, I'm serious. You can
have a full life. Bro. No, his stats is too good, bro. Yeah. Fuck English. For what?
Dude, when you go to Doral, like outside Miami, like, a lot of people do not speak English.
At all. I'm fine with that. They call a little Venezuela. I mean, it's just, you go in there
and you're like, can I get two waters? And they're like, yeah, like, it's just they don't
speak. You go to the drive-thru? I think I seen something like that. His lady went to, she, like, got
off the highway and went to a random Taco Bell.
And the lady did not.
In Florida. In Florida.
Wow. Yeah. She was like,
Como staz? Come on the brother? And the lady started talking
to English. And she was like, no, speak.
No, speak it today.
And she was pissed, bro. And like, she recorded it. And it was everywhere.
Oh, my God. Do you do, you like my performing in Miami?
Do you do go? Oh, man.
We fucking, this like 1,700 people over there just now.
Nice.
improv and just that audience there, bro.
They come for a party.
They come for.
Yeah.
Support.
They don't come for like stand up.
They come for a party.
I think we fucking, I think, I don't know if I'm talking shit here, but I think we
broke the liquor record that weekend.
I believe it.
Yeah, because again, bro, the people that come to my shows aren't people that come to stand-up
comedy show.
Right.
This is a whole new.
Night outfit.
And these, my people, bro, we're used to going to the club and spending $3,000
on bottles.
Believe it, bro.
So if they're there, they're like, okay, we're at the club.
Yeah, yeah.
They don't buy drinks, bro.
No, how much is the bottle?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So the question I have is you broke the liquor record.
Mm-hmm.
But what would the waitresses say they were tipped or not tipped?
Fuck you.
What would the waitress say about the tipping record?
Was that broke?
Was that?
Look, man.
Or did somebody get five bucks on a 900?
dollar bill
you know what it is
all right look in DR
there's not no tipping culture
over there okay there's no tipping
like if you leave 20%
on the I remember I was with my family
and I was leaving them 20%
and they literally look at you like are you
fucking dumb like what the hell
you think you're doing like give me
right right right you can't they
they feel insulted right away if I'm a family
yeah I can see that I could see that coming
where like a tip people like
Like, you know, I was just in Vegas and I tried to tip the general manager of the club and he got a little insulted.
He was like, what do you think I need this? I was like, no, I just thought it was the right thing to do.
I think. Some people feel that way. I get it. I do got to start shouting out the tip the.
Yeah, I think I did shout out the staff. You listen, we all have to tell our audience to certain things.
Yeah. I think, you know what I mean? You tell your audience, hey, don't forget to get the way staff. They work here.
They work here, you know? They don't get paid of salary. That's what it is. Yeah. I have to say, I think Hispanic.
Puerto Rican Dominican
audiences are the funnest.
I think if I look back,
the most fun I've had doing comedy
is doing those more recent shows.
Yeah, because the energy...
So fun. The energy's crazy.
Because they actually let loose. I know being a white
person, having a white family, and I know
it's even illuminated even more because, you know,
a wife's Puerto Rican, it's like, I have a very boring,
cold, stiff... That's the culture. It's like, we don't
get excited where my wife's
having fun every day. I don't know how
you people sit there on fucking Christmas and don't
drink and get escorted out of here by an ambulance.
It's like, it's Jesus's birthday.
They dress up.
I mean, they look good.
I mean, it's like, it's a night out, the women, just like, it's just the best.
Yeah, let me ask you this.
As you know, you're a big, you know, Dominican comic or representative of Dominican community, us as white guys, as white comics, I think that, you know, I'm always talking about my Puerto Rican wife.
Yon is stressed us up as a Puerto Rican transgender person.
I think we are accepted by the Latino community as white guys that they fuck with.
Yeah.
We're whites, we're whites that are okay.
we're good whites to them.
We're good whites, I think, to the Latino
comedy community.
I'm speaking for them?
Yeah, you're the best elected you.
I elect you because I think we're good whites.
I think they definitely fuck with us.
I don't think that,
I don't think the Latino community has a problem with us.
We would know if they didn't fuck with us.
I'd fuck with you.
I'm saying.
So my ticket sales said they fuck with them.
Yeah, I've noted, I, it's so funny.
You say that, dude.
It's so funny because I was in,
where the fuck was I?
somewhere. Oh, randomly, Charleston, South Carolina. I don't know why. I was at the Riviera
something down there, theater or whatever. And the guy who was there had booked a couple of my
shows, live nation guy. He had been to whatever, eight or nine of my shows. He goes, you know,
Chris, I got to be honest. He goes, every city we do with you, you bring out the Latinos and the
gays. They always just come out. Latinos and the gays. He was like, I don't know what it is. He's like,
I don't know what it is. He's like, you got Latino women coming out and then gay guys.
And I'm like, it's just what it is. We got the same audience. Yeah.
Yeah, but the Latinos and the gays, that's big.
That's how you sell tickets.
You want, you want groups, you know, a little trick here is you really want groups of women to fuck with you because they go out in groups.
Yeah.
Guys are like, they're like, I'm not a fucking homo.
Yeah, guys.
Uh-huh.
Where women, you want, because a girl will come out with 12 of her girlfriends, and that's what you want.
The only white people I do get at my show is the husband of that smoking hot.
Right.
Gringo.
Yeah.
Sergio was saying,
he's fucking hot Latinas.
He goes,
the white guy's good in there.
I can't take these fucking Latinos.
Oh,
he's fucking hot Latinos.
Yeah.
They'd be like six white people in my audience.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely.
The white people got to,
they got to come fuck with me over there,
I guess.
Right.
I feel like it's more acceptable, too,
for the Latino women to be with the white guys.
But if black girls with a white guy,
the black community gets upset at that.
They're like taking the women.
I think not anymore.
But I still don't think it's,
I think it's a little.
bit more frowned upon. I think Latinos, it's more okay. Oh, 100%, bro. Yeah, but I think it's not like
it used to, I think like, I mean, Dirk Nguinsky's got a black, nobody cares anymore, you know?
Probably not as much as before. Back then it was, it was nasty. Back then it was like a thing.
Yeah. Right now it's like, we're coming together. Yeah, people, though. You know what's interesting,
you see it a lot in Virginia. What? Whenever I go to Virginia, I always see a lot of interracial couples.
I don't know what it is about Virginia, but you'll see a white guy with a black woman. The most
I've seen is in Virginia for some.
That's the real America over there.
You're right on the one on the border of North and South.
Yeah.
I had a show in Richmond, Virginia, at the, you guys know it.
I know Richmond State Capitol.
The Richmond, a Sandman?
Yeah.
Or the Richmond funny or the theater.
There's a Richmond funny bone.
I did the sand, whatever it's called.
Yeah, some.
That was the most non-Latino audience I've had.
White or Blacks?
Both.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was both.
So did you do all English there?
So this is, again, I'm like learning, you know.
So like the first time I ever bombed Broadway comedy club, like 11.45 p.m. on a Monday night or some, one of them weeks.
Sure. Those are tough.
This is full of just tourists, really.
Sure.
And I went up there, started, this was like right when I first started doing stand-up.
I went up there talking about fucking morfongo and all kinds of Spanish food.
And it was just like, they were like, what?
Yeah, they're from Switzerland.
Right.
It's like what I did, Maurice at the, at the Schaumburgh.
With the Greeks, right?
And I didn't know it was all Greek, because I actually had a Greek character, too, that was popular.
And I would do both.
I started to do both.
And I went out there, and when Morisa would come out, the place would go nuts.
And we played the song, and it was just, you hear it echo.
You know, the improv there is just kind of.
And it's fucking dark.
It's dark.
You don't see the crowd.
And it was fucking nobody, they didn't even know.
what was going on.
Like, they didn't even know her.
But just shows the internet,
it's like the Greeks knew Panos.
They had no,
they didn't know what the fuck was going on.
Did you just do it?
We did five minutes.
Yeah, I moved the microphone like this.
I told Angelo, I said,
she shot out, rest in peace.
I said, let's wrap it up.
Like that way, wrap it up.
And then you can't have a bottle.
Because bombing in the dress, it's different.
It's different, right?
It's different.
It's different.
Yeah.
And you have the chanclatas on right?
When you bomb in an outfit, yeah.
It's different.
It's more humiliating.
Yeah.
You're putting effort.
Yeah, that would you take that wig off.
It's a little sweaty.
Yeah.
Wow.
Different, totally different experience.
Yo, so in February, we got San Jose Improv.
Where else in February?
Scroll up a little bit.
San Jose is coming up.
Okay, we got a lot of dates from my man, Roddell in February.
Irvine, California, on the 18th, 19th, Ontario, 22nd, Tempe, 23rd, L.A., 25th, San Jose.
So February, if you're going to do anything for Black History Month, support our Dominican friend, Roddell Ortiz.
I got one question.
I saw on your Instagram, you were at like a...
concert with the she's so hot what's her name Anna Armaz or oh Anna de Armas oh gorgeous goods how
isn't that Ben Afflex X uh huh I thought of been together that was that that was actually at in at the
casita and bad bunny's residency in Puerto Rico oh yeah how is she how does she look in person
beautiful I get to the fucking airport right and I see Anna de Armas there and she's like I mean
there's there's very few people that you see that literally just like she's stunning no yeah
Yeah, she's a beautiful woman, yeah.
Not as much with my girlfriend, you know.
Of course.
Right, right, right, right.
You got to say that.
Yeah.
She's going to be checking this out, probably.
But I was with my girlfriend.
I'm like, yo, that's fucking honor the arm months, bro.
And she's how it gives a fuck.
Right.
There's people lining up.
Who said me?
Yeah.
I care.
Your girlfriend was like, she's like pretty on camera.
She's all right.
She's like waiting there for her fucking luggage.
And so am I.
By herself or no security or anything?
No, she had like six people there with her.
Yeah, yeah.
And there's people walking up to her asking for pictures.
and me, I wouldn't dare.
No.
You know, and I'm like, and I'm finally, I'm like,
bro, this is my fucking chance to go and get a picture.
100%.
And finally, while I'm doing that, and I'm nervous,
somebody comes and asks me for a picture.
Oh, yeah.
So that was perfect.
Good timing.
She didn't fucking see it.
Oh, no.
You guys ask him to do it again.
You guys say, yo, hold up.
Do it louder.
Yeah, you said you do it louder.
So she didn't see it.
She didn't see it, bro.
She didn't see me get an ass for a picture.
But then that gave me the courage.
I'm like, you know what?
I'm somebody too.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
So I went up to her, I asked her for a picture, and we took two pictures.
And in one of them, she's like put on a real seductive face.
I'll show you it.
Yeah.
And I was like, she fucking wants me so bad.
This one, yeah.
But then I'm like, all right, never see her again.
The next night, I'm 25 Moscow mules deep.
Wow.
Yeah, I've had 25 of them.
By the time I got their day drinking.
Yeah, of course.
Love me a Moscow.
You went over, your mommy.
No, she was at the Casita, bro.
Mind you, you know the Casita.
That was, I know it's Bad Bunny's show, but he had, he puts a,
you remember the house in the Super Bowl that Cardi B was sending?
Yeah.
In the dead center of the arena, picture Madison Square Garden.
That's, they literally call it Stage B.
Uh-huh.
He puts an actual fucking house in the dead center of the arena.
And people going.
It's an actual house.
I'm talking about there's a kitchen, living room, big screen TV,
playing the thing, but when you walk out, you're in the fucking
You're on his stage.
He hangs out with people in the house and then goes,
let's go perform outside and you're in an arena?
Some of the concert happens there.
I'll show you afterwards.
But it's only, you can't buy a ticket to be in the casita.
You have to get invited.
You have to get invited.
So we got fucking invited.
So you were in the arena in the casita?
In the casita.
So of course, Anna de Armas is in there.
That's smart.
And Anna de Armas shows up and she's fucking.
So now you're.
Golden. And then I was talking to her a little bit because I had that liquid courage. You
feel me? Oh, of course. But then I was kind of like, yeah, I'm a fuck. I kind of feel like one of
these fucking fat assholes like just trying to hang out, you know? But then I went backstage to
go see Ruben Blaze. Shout out Ruben Blaze. Shout out about most fucking legendary people of all
time. Look him up. Um, he was the invited guest that night. He always bring out a legendary
salsa artist. So I go backstage. I'm kicking it with him. He actually, actually,
did a movie with Anna da Armas.
So I was like, yo, Anna's here.
And he was like, oh, tell her, tell her, you know, that I'm here to, you know, like,
let's connect or whatever.
So on my way back, I'm like, yeah, I got to have a little talking about, boy.
So I go back, I'm like, hey, so you know, you know Rubin, right?
She was like, Ruben, right?
She was like, yeah.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I was just chilling with him backstage.
He told me to tell you what's up and her face lit up.
Yeah.
And I was so bricked up.
Yeah.
You almost left your wife, right?
Even just for the chance.
Anna de Armis is one of those ones where the wife would actually understand.
I mean, I wouldn't care if she would or not.
I'd just do it.
You would just deal with it.
I'll just deal with the consequence.
Deal with the repercussions.
Yeah.
I tell my daughter's like, Daddy, obviously, hasn't lived here in the last 15 years.
But now that you're old enough to know, look at who's, look at Anna Day Orris.
I had so much hate messages, bro, when I posted her.
Of course.
People were going to hate.
People were jealous.
Oh, yeah.
A lot of the hate messages was from my girlfriend also.
Of course.
Fuck you.
You didn't post me.
It was all her from different accounts.
Fuck you.
You fucking fat piece of shit.
I should have left you 10 years ago.
You're like, who is this?
Some ghost accounts saying personal details only she would know.

Yeah, playing dominoes with her.
Johnny, how do you say?
You know, it's funny because Greeks and Latinos, there's certain things that are very similar.
Domino's is one of them.
Another thing is they have weepa, which is just like, you know, you say,
weepa when you just excited, whatever.
Puerto Ricans.
Yeah, that's their word.
Puerto Ricans.

Tom Feedback. Oh, there's your boy. Yeah, great guy. Morgan Meyer, deport cash Patel.
Oh, God.
Far right, tucked back,
calling me Sidney Swilner.
You know what's funny, though?
This just shows you everything's tied to politics
and, like, everyone's a hypocrite.
Like, if you said deport
Cash Patel, who's a citizen,
people in the left would go, yeah, deport him.
Right.
They want him gone.
Right.
Even though he's a citizen.
Yeah.
They wouldn't say, hey, that's racist.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They want Cash Patel God.
Yeah.
Everyone filters everything through their world.
Through their world.
Not like what the actual...
You're going, wait, he's a citizen.
He goes, no, I hate him.
So deport him.
Yeah. And then last but not least, Dingleberry Dan's Nugget removal service.
Dingleberry Dan is a goodie. Goody.
Yeah, but if it was just thinking this is it, don't read another.
No, I don't think you should because we got so many Hall of Famers here.
Okay. That's fine by me. All right, so here is the list.
The Red Sea was easier to part than Yanni's eyes.
I was hopeful for this guy, but he got upstaged.
Yeah. Unfortunately, yeah.
It's not gay if it's my clone.
Good philosophical question, but the back of the list,
just came too strong. But we do want people to
question that and write the answers on the Patreon.
We want someone who's, we want an egghead
to figure that out. Siziki, Somaliate
UCF? Funny one, but we're
going to have to drink. Unfortunately, it's just
any other day. If you want to see the definition
of UCF, go to History, Hyenas
is back.com. We got a glossary up there of
all our terms. If you're new to the show, you can go
check, if you don't know what a word is,
go check out our glossary. We got
it up there. Sabrina the Hyena updates it on a
weekly basis. Babe,
shit with the door open and the lid closed.
It's real funny, but I feel like they're stronger.
Yeah, because I don't care of what is.
It's just a pile of shit on top of the toilet?
Yeah, it's just having a good time.
Yeah, the guy's just having a really good time.
And I love those once in a while.
It just doesn't have to be witty or anything.
It's just, hey, baby, let's leave the door open and shit with the lid closed.
But it's off the lid.
It's a good party.
All right.
You can say, let's, if you want to have a real party, that would be a good expression.
Like, tonight we're going to fucking shit with the door open and the lid closed.
And the lid close.
Give my cut of the Patreon to Nick, you fucking Jews.
Very funny.
but we're going to upstage it.
Nick's saying to keep it.
Yeah, he wants to keep it.
Yeah, because Nick wants to cut.
Yeah, he wants to cut.
My Fruit of the Looms is a tomb of the room.
We're keeping that as a contender.
Leroy wearing a scream mask so I can finally shop in peace.
I think it's funny, but I think we're going to Drexler it.
Playing fetch with my German Shepherd, I throw a ball.
He comes back with a frisbee.
I mean, it's just too funny.
It's just way too funny.
And then last but at least, Rio Grande Swim team.
that's another way too funny.
So those are our three.
Okay.
So it is between...
Again, I'd like to say, we do this right.
We do this right.
My Fruit of the Looms is a tomb of fumes.
Playing fetch with my German Shepherd,
I throw a ball, he comes back with a frisbee,
or the Rio Grande swim team.
They're all really good.
The Rio Grande swim team is an absolute
Hall of Fame chicken finger.
That's the definition.
If a chicken finger we're going to win,
it would be that one.
But I think we just got two funnier ones.
Yeah.
But the Rio Grande swim team is hilarious
because that's how illegals usually swim into the country.
It's what it is.
For the Rio Grande.
So then there's really between my fruit of the looms is a tomb of fumes or playing fetch
with my German shepherd.
I throw a ball.
He comes back with a frisbee.
I mean, he's a German shepherd, so the kid just does what German shepherd do.
And frisbys for anyone new is a person with a yamaica.
It's a person with a yarmica.
We just call in frisbee.
It's fun.
So the pun works here.
And then my fles, it's funny.
It's just a tomb of fumes with the rhyme scheme.
Right.
So basically we're going with.
a borderline walked into one which is really craven funnly or we're going with an absolute
Hall of Fame chicken finger. We're going to vote on this one. We're going to vote on this.
Tough. Nick. There's four of us we're going to vote. What do you got?
German Shepherd Frisbee or Tomb of Fumes, Fruit of the Looms.
Fruit of the Looms. You like Fruit of Looms, Tomb of Fumes. It is interesting. Jesse?
Yeah, I'm a sucker for a good fart joke. Yeah. And you know what? We do have so many
Frisbee, so many of that joke. You're the deciding vote here. And you know, and even though my dog
is 25% German Shepherd.
I do think that Fruit of the Looms is a Tomb of Fumes is just something we haven't heard at all.
And it's very funny.
And it's kind of more family friendly.
Yes.
And I like that.
I think that's the winner personally.
And I want to just say to the other guy, very funny, don't stop writing.
You got good material.
Keep it going.
So my Fruit of the Looms is a Tomb of Fumes.
Congratulations.
You are the PPW, the pseudopinus of the week.
