Gabriel Iglesias: From Hawaii, My all time favorite comedian.

[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Oh getting chills looking thank you guys so much for packing out this place tonight and I know how the question has already been asked why did Gabriel decide to shoot his new special in Hawaii the question should be what took him so long so the one thing I want to definitely make sure that happens here tonight is that I'm gonna make sure that not only the people in the room here tonight that are not natives of Hawaii but the people around the world find out things about Hawaii you never knew first things first the proper pronunciation is Hawaii just so the world gets to hear right at least once and believe me I understand exactly how you feel I totally get it for me it's not Mexico it's Mexico I want you whenever people come to the island you know there's certain things people like to do aside from the surfing or you know the hiking or the you know the traditional things people always see the the movies and the one thing that always stands out is the luau people always see the law you always see the guy with the fire you know he comes out and he makes us stand and I'm sitting that looks cool I want to let you guys know how you can tell if you're about to have a real genuine experience versus some of the more diluted things that have happened here on the island let me explain if you're gonna go for a luau make sure you do some research okay don't just go to ami lua i'm gonna tell you how you can tell if you're on a bad one there's always a bus involved that takes you from the hotel to the luau that's a given when you get on the bus there's a driver and there's always the person that's the host if the host gets on the bus and you hear this welcome aboard the king kamehameha luau experience my name is Reagan I am NOT a native of Hawaii I'm actually from Oregon but I have been living here now for three weeks and you only need a few days and you're basically a native we're gonna have such a great time it's gonna take us exactly 35 minutes to get from here to our destination I've timed that all week don't even worry about it this is our driver his name is taka taka has been here on the island for over 75 years he is so hardcore he has taken a liking to me he says I remind him of his daughter he's so sweet he calls me his little punani he so I have gone online to do some research to find out the type of conditions we're gonna have today and there is a slight chance of rain excuse me yes sir what happens if it rains you have nothing to worry about I took the liberty of stopping off in an ABC store and purchasing some umbrellas and some Poncho's so we're covered Stearns me yes sir are we gonna stop somewhere to get something to eat maybe or get some some film absolutely you have nothing to worry about it's gonna be the best time ever stay away from that door this is how you know when you're on the real Lua experience the driver you know is there the bus and then the guy gets on and you hear this alright all right everybody I'd like to welcome your bodies we're going to Germaine snowy okay my name is Reno you could call me cousin Reno I know but don't worry I'm not your real cousin so don't ask for money right yeah anyway we're gonna have a really good time today it's gonna be a great day here on the island it's gonna be beautiful excuse me yes sir how long is it gonna take for us to get to the luau actually brother he's good we're gonna get there Hawaiian time what is Hawaiian time mean it means we get that when we get there part me I have another question yes up I understand it's gonna rain today what happens if it rains oh well you go get wet scuse me scuse me yeah are we gonna stops or to get something to eat or get some film hey it all are you talking to me hey Mary I'm talking you abroad on sit down and for the rest of the bus is wondering what MA who is it means he really likes coconuts yeah first things first the best luau to go on and they don't pay me to tell you this I've been coming to the island for 10 years but my favorite place to visit is Jermaine's lo if you ever get a chance they don't pay me to tell you that and for the record there is such a person as cousin Rena that's my man here in the front row stand up brother the man the myth the legend Thank You Man thank you what time and many you know coming here year after year and talking to people certain words I've picked up certain things I've learned I finally figured out what shoots means anyone that gets to come here to the island you'll hear people saying that shoots and I found it it means yes because Mexicans we have our own slang words - have you heard me which is a term of excitement it's also it's like shoots means yes but you should have heard the conversation I had this guy was trying to explain it to me I go I keep hearing people say shoots what's going on ok brother let me break it down for you alright shoots is is like saying yes oh ok cool alright so let me see um so somebody says you want to go to the store and I say shoots Roger that Roger that what does that mean it means yes so shoots means yes and Roger that means yes Roger that how would you mean is there one that you use for one thing versus one that used for another can you give me an example no problem Ron check it out somebody tell me a bra you want to go get a drink juice hey bra you all go to tee ball Roger dad I got it I got it I got it I got it I figured it out and by the way for all the people here on the island tonight that are not native who are extremely light complected basic for the white people um I just want to let you know when you're here in Hawaii if you hear this word haole they're talking about you [Applause] Howley is the word to describe white people and it's not derogatory I ask questions and it's not it's just that you know and that's one guys we're gonna how ly come from you know I know one guy said well Brian I think many years ago some white people come here right they got drunk and they start yelling you hey somebody need to take down that Holly right there it's stuck trying to figure out how they alright but anyways you guys we've been traveling so many places we've probably been in about 14 countries in the last two months yeah we're like herpes we go everywhere twice a year anyway I know right you guys are so close man like a vice slip that's it this show wasn't 3d but it hurt it was terrible so I'm gonna tell you when we first kicked off our world tour we started in we started in Singapore and for me that kind of threw me off because just to let you guys know they do speak English in Singapore it's actually the number one language spoken and I didn't know that and some people are like well why would you go to Singapore to perform if you didn't know whether or not they understood you because the check was fat [Applause] and I'm a little whore [Applause] so yeah the only thing with Singapore is that Singapore the rules over there are very strict like many years ago an American went over there and he was graffiti on a wall okay he tagged up a wall and they got him and they don't give out tickets in Singapore the penalty for that was they pulled him aside took off his shirt and they came to him with a stick and there's no set number like oh you graffiti a wall with two letters that's four licks no the guy hits you until he feels you've learned a lesson yeah that's hardcore if you're caught smuggling drugs into Singapore the penalty is death which makes somebody like myself nervous when you travel with the people that you travel with I forget my and you know it's crazy because they play a video when you're going through customs as you're going through customs they play a video to let you know where you're about to go into and it starts off really nice it starts off sweet it's like welcome to Singapore Singapore very beautiful country very nicer country very clean the country if you're caught of smuggling drugs into our country over you PM you are doing Gangnam style [Applause] enjoy being apart from Singapore we got to go up to London England to do some shows and it was pretty cool over there obviously they spoke English the only issues that I had in London England or that over there they drive on the opposite side of the street and that is very you know that's that's kind of challenging for tourists because when you're crossing a street you're automatically conditioned to come out look left look right look left again and then you cross and so when you're there you have to retrain yourself because you'll come out you think you're cool look there's no cars coming let's go every other block is like the movie final destination you know what I mean and over there they got double-decker buses those suckers are heavy you get hit by one of those at 30 miles an hour at least if you get hit by a bus here on the island you have so much of a chance first of all nobody's in a hurry you can hit by a bus here hey brah walk it off you okay shoot all right [Applause] I've been to the news station here I've been on the news many times and they're always people always step off the curb they're not paying attention they're looking at the buildings or they're taking pictures and you know her and they report him you know a man was struck by a bus here today his leg was broken doctors say he will be okay London England getting hit by a double-decker bus going 30 a man exploded today when he was struck by a double-decker bus we have video footage [Music] some of the places were planning on performing this next year we're talking about going to Germany we're talking about going to Bulgaria and India India's on the list of new places we're gonna visit and I'm excited about India you know when I was telling people in England that we're going to end you know to India I had Indian people telling me oh there that's gonna be amazing when you go there you can enjoy it you're gonna love it it's amazing and I just stare and the guy goes why are you staring I go cause your voice doesn't match oh you think we all sound like I'm sorry I live in America Indians over there keep it real yeah and I have nothing but love and respect for Indian people I'm gonna tell you something right now Indian people in the United States are the hardest-working people I have ever seen and that's coming from a Mexican okay and I'll tell you why I say this you will never see an Indian person with a sign that says will work for food in the United States and you will never see an Indian person committing a crazy crime like when was the last time you heard of Indians robbing a bank but everybody I can't remember bro because it doesn't happen first of all Indian people are so nice and they're so sweet and I can't see it you know you're gonna rob a bank you need Authority you need to come in there guns blazing I said get your ass on the ground now I can't imagine would you please take the money why I'm talking to you but again it is I'm I can feel I don't leave this he gets in the car his partner is waiting for him did you get the money they would not give me the money did you show them the gun I showed we better leave they're going to call the police they're still laughing what did you get the computer they thought I was take support there's too much fun man all these different countries all these different places we've been going and honestly you guys it's not possible without the love and the support of my family they made that possible cuz I can't just go take off you know you really seriously you know she's gonna leave it takes a strong woman first of all to put up with me and that's naughty oh you're gonna go travel the world with this crazy guy named let it be who's got tattoos and issues have fun oh it's not easy you guys like I said it takes a lot of love and support from my family and right now it's a crazy time because my son is 15 okay some of you know I have a son from my last special I talked about how I became a dad and um because he's technically my stepson and the only reason I'm saying that is because he's been in my life for eight years and he's 15 so I don't want you to look at me and the math is all wrong and you're like he's get out I'm not getting I just hooked up with a beautiful woman who had a pre started family which is why the math is off basically I took over Alise is what happened and everything's been going great but when he turns 15 it started changing like he no longer talks to me which is crazy not to say that he doesn't see meaning not he just doesn't talk and I thought it was personal and his mom is like no he's going through a face like he doesn't speak he makes sounds Frankie how's your day did you take out the trash Wow like the only person he talks to is at the other end of his phone cuz that's all he does all day just text text text text and it's funny because he's always like this texting and when he walks around he takes little steps so that in case he bumps into something it doesn't hurt like he's fake like a little vacuum you know yeah and when he's taking these little steps he makes these sounds and his tongue comes out half way it looks freaky like he's trying to text with it and asked his mom is he okay he's going through a phase and I could totally understand my son standing in the corner for 15 minutes at his time with his tongue out making noises if he was a special circumstance but he's not okay if he was I'd hug him and love him the same but he's not he's a straight-a student in his school he's at the top of the list in his class as one of the smartest kids and it's no no no no you know why you know why because on paper it says he's a genius but at home it doesn't match and don't get me wrong you guys I believe that good grades are important okay but you would think with all the different classes that they offer in school how come they don't have a class called common sense here I mean make it the easiest class they have ever taken make it so easy that it's the exact same class every single day they don't pay attention anyway make it the same hello class welcome to common sense let us begin up-down left-right hot/cold take a shower take a shower take a shower I don't know what happened when he turned 15 he forgot how to play with water oh my god it for me you guys smell is so important it is so important you know how many people I meet every single year I am so self-conscious I don't want anyone to smell me that I meet and all of a sudden have them say fluffy smell like ass I know a big guy that's why I do double the maintenance twice the showers twice a cologne twice at the odorant twice the powder if I fart right now this whole area will smell like cinnamon that's how I want you guys are we looking at each other is that cinnamon vanilla vanilla he smells like a malasada yes what's a malasadas it's a ball of dough with good stuff in it wrapped in cinnamon tastes delicious anyway like I said you guys for me smell is so important you know and the fact that my son at fifteen now is his you know he's his body's becoming an adult even though you know and I try to tell him and he always forgets and blah blah blah and it wasn't until his PE teacher called us up and told us that what he was doing is he's leaving his PE shirt in the locker over the weekend instead of bringing it home to wash and so that shirt just Broyles and simmers and those kids juices and then on Monday when he puts it on it's all hard and yellow and just you know nasty and they told us your son is smelly and I'm like oh hell no I took his ass to the store and I bought him a 10 pack of that right guard gel with a little click on the bottle and I showed him Frankie look look look look look every day twice a day that's what you got to do and every day it's an issue did you put on deodorant I went back to the store and I bought ten more and I came back to the house and I started strategically placing them all over the house one in the front the one at the back door one in the hallway one in the kitchen so no matter where he's at hidden right he hated that because the neighbors would come over the house and I'd have to explain why there's deodorant everywhere like it's a new type of potpourri and then he starts hiding the deodorant and then he starts lying about it and I'm like I'm sorry but teenagers can't lie they're too fidgety they're uncoordinated they look away they stutter they can't focus I asked them did you put on deodorant mmm are you sure yeah come here I'm gonna smell you you don't believe me no that sucks are you wearing the gel deodorant that I bought for you all right take your finger stick it under your armpit and then pull it out why because if you're wearing the gel deodorant that I bought for you when you pull your finger out of your armpit your fingers gonna be shiny it's gonna look like you have lubricant on it what's that shut up and then he tells me I'm wearing drag deodorant oh really I don't remember buying that and I got in his face and I said look Frankie you don't have to lie I'm here to help you I'm not here to hurt you I said do you like girls mmm yeah okay good well guess what they don't like it when you smell they like it when you smell fresh and clean you don't have to lie I'm gonna let this go but if I catch you lying to me again that's when he freaked me out and he did this what in my head I heard are you ready are you ready let's get it on and I'm not a violent person bro I'm not violent but hey it's kill or be killed right you know and seriously you guys I would never put my hands on my son and people judge me for that oh you wouldn't hit your kid you think he's gonna call the cops I don't care if he calls the cops I'll call the cops anyone who's ever seen my specials knows I've had a few run-ins with law enforcement and because of one joke where I went to a Krispy Kreme drive-through are you kidding me I have become law enforcement's favorite comedian in the state of California alone I've done over 50 shows for the California Highway Patrol Los Angeles Police Department Long Beach Police Department where I live I can call a cop right now to go to my house and hold down my son while my girlfriend kicks him that's how connected I am I'm not worried about him calling the cops I'm worried about him calling TMZ that's why I'm afraid oh yeah TMZ finds out I beat my son are you kidding me they'll have me on TV the next day Oh looks like chocolate cake isn't the only thing he beats up so I told my girl would happen I said listen baby he's lying to me and he's testing up I don't want to have to get physical with him but I will if I have to I'm not going anywhere and see my girlfriend's different my girlfriend will actually choke him I'm not gonna lie she's a little ghetto oh I left town for two weeks to go do some shows and when I came home it was night and day they picked me up at the airport he jumps out of the car and he's holding the door open like he's valet I get in the car I look at my girl what's going on he thinks they're still mad at him so he's being extra good and the whole drive home he's doing that little song in the backseat I'm gonna clean the room I'm gonna check out the trash I'm gonna walk the dog I'm gonna do the dishes and when we got home he did all of it and I was like wow and then we're passing each other in the hallway and as we're passing each other he sticks out his arm bro and he tapped me and he keeps walking and I go excuse you anyway whatever oh my let me take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself I'm a decent person I'm not great I'm not horrible I'm decent okay anybody who's ever met me in the past or will meet me in the future you know what I'm saying hey I know what's in my heart I'm a nice person and if I'm being nice to you and you're mean to me I'll still be nice but if you're mean to me a second time I don't care who it is I could be one of you guys it could be one of my friends in the back or it could be the new dependent on my taxes you mess with me I'm gonna mess with you back and I'm gonna step it up a notch so you don't forget everybody's quiet all the kids are like I don't want to meet him now let me tell you what happened next morning I was in my son's room and I'm standing over his bed it's five o'clock in the morning and I'm just watching him sleep I know it looked creepy like the movie [Applause] and I'm just thinking what am I gonna do to get even right and I look over and I see his alarm clock and I'm like perfect just so you guys understand it's his job to wake himself up for school and he knows if he's late because he didn't set that clock his mom is gonna have his ass he's afraid of his mom for a good reason so I grabbed that clock and I changed the time from 5:00 a.m. to 7:30 it gets better then I set it off and he wakes up all scared freaked out and I started handing him his clothes here get dressed get your quicker go he's getting dressed in the dark he looks like a little drunk your children and I grabbed him and I dragged his ass into the garage his whole face is oily and sweaty he's got rocks and crusts in his eyes he has a perfect white line going all the way to the back of his neck as soon as I get him in the car falls asleep I jump in and I take him to school we get to his school the Sun is barely coming out there is not a kid for miles as soon as we get by the office I slammed on the brakes to wake them up anyway Oh Frankie the bell just rang hurry the last kid winning you're gonna make Coco Marie go oh okay thank you all right I love you [Music] it was Sunday kid mess with you you mess with kid now I know a lot of you right now are like oh you went back to get him right that wasn't the plan he starts calling my phone forgetting over look at the phone and it's a whole picture when he was still cute you know they set him to voicemail I look at the phone and I see his mom's face I'm trying to play it off in the car lo pick him up I can barely hear you back I get back to the school big old freaking school with one kid in front of it oh man you guys he was so pissed off but I'm gonna tell you something I found something out that week I found out that you don't have to yell at a kid to get your point across you definitely don't have to hit one all you really have to do to make sure they never forget the day that they messed up is embarrassing embarrassing a kid is the biggest weapon you can have as a parent that's legal and so much more effective you guys because I'm gonna tell you right now between the ages of 10 and 19 it's all about image it's all about do I have the cool shirt the cool hat the cool a wristband the cool watch the cool glasses the cool shoes the cool pants they want to fit in so bad you mess with their image at school oh it's mental it's emotional and depending on what you did it's physical why do you think they make such a big deal about bullying in schools and child abuse amongst each other because when kids turn it's not pretty especially if they have a reason to like finding out that you got dropped off on Sunday by your dad because there was a janitor there working who saw the whole thing go down and three days is what it took for word to get out and when those kids found out it was my son the things they said to him were so bad that when he came home he was in tears okay and I'm not gonna let you guys I felt terrible for like a second it was bad though it was I was moved he came in all hard get him a watch why are you standing there [Applause] put on deodorant [Applause] I'm not gonna lie you guys I think deep down he wishes that I would hit him because it would be faster but that's not how I roll oh oh no and I gotta give credit to his mom you guys his mom allows me to be a dad you know as a stepparent it's not easy you can't just come in and run things it takes time if you come into that house and you start trying to yell at people and start trying to know they'll jump all over you you can't be doing that don't okay you tell me what he did I'll handle it you don't do anything there bro yeah next thing you know you're in the corner crying when that kid is supposed to be it's a hazing process in the beginning it's everybody's pushing each other's buttons everybody's testing each other is this guy really gonna stick around that's what happens and after eight years hey my credit is good so my girl backs me up whenever I make a call she backs me up don't get me wrong if I make a bad call she's gonna call me on okay if I mess up she's gonna point it out she doesn't think that all my ideas are good ones and there's been a few times when I've messed up as a dad like one night I got really really drunk on the road with my team and I don't know what happened I started drunk texting Frankie I don't know what it is about me getting drunk for some reason the phone just and my girl found out about it and when I got home I knew something was up because she called me by my first name and we haven't used first names in years you know since then it's always been pet names you know how it goes you know honey baby Sweetie Suzy has something to kind of just some of you got that good that's yes anyway I walk in the door and I hear Gabriel and I'm like oh I'm in court and here she comes out of the back I understand when you're out there you're gonna do what you're gonna do you want to get drunk fine get drunk you want to text me while you're drunk fine text me while you're drunk do not ever drunk text my son again how do you know it was drunk really Frankie come here bring your phone look at this message that came in at 4:17 a.m. put on deodorant that's a nickname I gotta give her credit anytime I mess up she is very creative on how she approaches me like the latest thing that she does is she no longer wants to deal with me face to face what she does is she will find one of the three dogs that we have in the house and she will start carrying a full-blown conversation with the dog telling the dog what I'm doing wrong as a man you have to understand how demeaning this is to me okay I own chihuahuas and you mean to tell me two pounds of Terror is gonna take over me no no no no and I'll tell you what happened you guys I was actually innocent I was actually innocent I didn't do anything bad but it looked bad I had three shows one night and after the third show I was exhausted so I go on the back to lay down for a little bit and I fell asleep and I woke up and it was four hours later and I reached down and I pull out my phone my phone was still in my pocket and it was in silent mode and I look at the screen and the screen said 27 missed calls from I wonder who [Music] there is not a text in the world that's gonna fix that there's not a phone call that I'm gonna make it four o'clock in the morning that's gonna make this better I'm screwed no matter what so I shut off my phone all the girls are like that's what you really messed up I know I didn't know you could die twice apparently you can't so I come home you guys and I'm innocent so I'm not showing up at the front door with flowers or trying to be rude no no I know I'm good so I show up confident I walk in I said baby let me just explain what happened to me this weekend before you say anything and then she starts oh look who's here Bruno look who's here daddy's home now daddy wants to talk to us funny talk to Bruno let me explain huh really you're not gonna talk to me you're gonna talk to the dog somebody's getting frustrated huh kind of like we were frustrated when he didn't pick up his phone yes they do she will not look at me she will not talk to me she continues to do this for 10 minutes after 10 minutes she has me doing it [Music] now she thinks I'm making fun of her are you mocking me now I'm pissed off because now she's screaming in my face so then I was like oh shoot things were mocking our Haruna mommy shouldn't have played this game because we can play it better huh yeah because I can make you talk back to me huh that's a tom valve oh yes I can because you love me more Allah Allah mommy's crazy heart loss is a bust come on and that started a whole different argument my god you guys and I don't want you thinking that my girlfriend's a bad person she's an amazing woman the fact that I only have seven stories about her in eight years says a lot you know don't get me wrong five of them happened this year but that's still way below the bar and I'm saying and I get questions I get questions about her because you know in the past I've done specials and I've talked about other people in my life I've talked about my mom I've talked about my dad I've talked about my sister's my brother I've talked about Frankie but I've never really talked about my girl and so I get people that ask me you know we want to know a little bit more first question that everybody always ask is is your girlfriend fluffy too and no she's not she's a little bit curvy but she's not fluffy and it's not to say that I have anything against big women most of my ex-girlfriends were really big girls when we would hug it was like arms and pillows oh yeah it was a tempurpedic love you know Sam it was hardcore like we would hug really really hard and then let go and then her body would come back to normal another question that people ask is is your girlfriend also Mexican you know as your girlfriend Mexican and yes she is but that doesn't mean anything because I have dated the rainbow okay that's just where it landed which is where I landed all right you know uh I think the crazy part with my girl is that she doesn't have traditional Mexican features all right she could pass for white which is funny because the first time I introduced her to my mom that's quite the show I take my girl to go meet my mom for the first time and uh you know my mom she she would come to the door she'll come to the door if you know she you know she sees you pulling up in the driveway she opens the door and just waits for you to get there and greets you at the door so I'm pulling out right gets the you know she comes to the door she sees me opening the door and this white girl comes out and she starts cussing me out from the door and my girl speaks Spanish so my girl looks at my mom and she's like oh Lessing your neck como estas and my mom was like ah you see that mom you see that mom they make them in that color too another question that I get about my girl is how did you guys meet did you meet at her show and actually no we didn't meet at a show we met at a bar and see some of your like a lot of people don't like that one they're like oh really a bar that's not a good way to meet someone so it's an honest way to meet someone we were both drunk when we met which I find ironic considering she has issues with me drinking now you know eight years later the way I see I'm just keeping it real you're no Sam but no she don't see it that way when we met I was gone she was gone we started talking to each other and at the end of the night I was like wow you have issues your mother stopped - we went to go get a bite to eat and then you know nine months later we moved in together and then it worked out for us yeah I tell people you want to find out who you're with don't just rush into the relationship right away like you see some of those people after a month we knew it was meant to be yeah a year later he changed she's not the same he changed she's not the same he changed people don't change I'll tell you why it looks like they do because in the beginning of the relationship you do whatever you have to do to make it work and the first thing you do is you bite your tongue all of your frickin issues and things that bother you you check your own morals because you want to make it work you start weighing out the pros and the cons you're like oh man she talks a lot but look at that butt man her family's kind of crazy but they got money you see you start laying things out that's why it looks like the person changed a year later and I'm just saying you guys if you don't feel like investing a lifetime trying to figure out who you're with just do what I did and get drunk with the person but don't just get drunk to get drunk get drunk with the intent on getting as much real information out of them so that you can make an educated decision on whether or not to be with them [Applause] make it fun make it a game this way you don't know this what you do you sit across from each other you make a list of five things you have to know before you become exclusive then you break open a bottle of tequila or alcohol of your choice you do ten shots each you wait thirty five minutes you turn on a flip cam hit record and let the date begin you're about to find out who you're really dealing with make it fun okay Jennifer you go first thank you Jonathan thank you okay more how many people have you slept with and guys can lie but the face gives it away how many - have you ever cheated no next day you pull out that video and you confront them and you can see for yourself who you're really dealing with and if you can see that they're lying call them

your stall number one if you need to take your nasty ass home some of your laughing some you're like stop doing those voices just having fun that's all I got to tell you guys being a comedian has been the one of the greatest experiences for me and you know it's been it's been a fun ride it's been a fun ride and um a lot of people don't understand what has gone into this you know me personally I got a lot of people to thank my family obviously first and foremost and all my friends and all the support other people you don't see that are behind the scenes that have helped me you know there's a lot of comedians up there they do really good and for some reason they start you know going crazy and things happen and then what happened wrong people around them so whenever you see me you're like honky was keeping it together cuz people keep me together shooting I start believing my own hype I'm at 7-eleven yeah give me all that yeah yeah give me sir forgive me crazy why is he talking to me like that I don't know I just want you guys to know it's been a fun ride and I want you to understand a little bit more of what has happened over the years to get to this point for the first I'd say the first ten years of my career I was considered a Southwest comedian by promoters meaning that they would only promote me in California Arizona Nevada Texas you know New Mexico nothing wrong with that but here's the thing is that they were calling me a Southwest Commedia and then they call me Latino comedian and I hated that no no I hate that I'll tell you why and I know you have good intentions when you over let me explain why I don't like that title when you say Latino comedian it makes it sound like I can only perform for Latinos okay and don't get me wrong I know who I am and where I come from but I believe that Latinos should be shared with everyone and that's what I'm trying to do and the reason why I make a big deal about that is because anybody else you just call them their name for example Jerry Seinfeld he's just Jerry Seinfeld he's not Jewish comedian Jerry Seinfeld Chris Rock is just Chris Rock he's not african-american comedian Chris Rock but with me I was always Latino comedian or fat comic yeah they wouldn't even call me fluffy those bastards and so it wasn't until years and years of grinding it out that eventually I wound up meeting a promoter who eventually became my manager who took a chance on me and he promoted me in Minneapolis Minnesota okay and you cannot get any whiter than Minneapolis Minnesota that is where the Hollies are built that is the haole Factory okay there's many hapless Minnesota and it was a venue about as big as this and it was it was sold out and word got back to Los Angeles and to New York and to all these promoters that there's this entertainer with the last name Iglesias who sold a bunch of tickets who was not Enrique next thing you know promoters are coming up the woodwork another change in their tune now they're not calling me Latino comedian anymore now they're saying oh this guy's he's funny across the board he's crossover he's so crossover as a material touches everyone he's crossover he's crossover really you're gonna call him Mexican cross over it was getting worse all I wanted to do is be given a chance to go out and perform and show what I could do and not have restrictions and titles and stuff put on it was very very hard and so like I said once I met my uh my buddy who took care of me and came my manager Joe Milosh amazing work he started taking me everywhere with the help of him and my agent Matt Blake and Comedy Central started backing me up and we wound up hitting all 50 states next thing I know we go to Canada next thing I know they sent me to Europe next thing I know we hit Australia and then I get this phone call my agent calls me out but he says gay check it out you're getting a request to perform in the Middle East I go really okay cool Army Navy Marines Air Force who actually the request is coming from a prince run that by me again a prince I said Purple Rain not Prince a prince I said how do they know me I I don't know but they say that they know you and they want to hire you I go it sounds like a joke Matt trust me it sounds legit all right if it's legit I'll tell you what give whoever a ridiculous figure and let them know that they have to wire the money today otherwise forget it four hours later Gabe what ridiculous just called are you serious I'm looking at the screen bro they wired all of it next thing I know welcome aboard Saudi Arabian Airlines digital 17-hour flight you guys from Detroit Michigan to Riyadh Saudi Arabia and just so you guys know I didn't go by myself okay I took some friends with me nobody from this show for obvious reasons you see the crew that I travel with everybody's hairy big nose goatee beard crazy eyes this are you kidding me with all of us we're like Osama bin Lopez you know say so I took two other friends I took one friend his name is Edwin San Juan who's Filipino works clean oh yeah and another buddy of mine named Larry Omaha who's Native American who also works clean and look at the camera hey Larry Omaha and once that one you guys have fans and they're here in Hawaii get your asses over here anyway uh so we had to react 17 hour flight from Detroit as soon as we get there they flew us there first class by the way it was really nice and the plane is pulling up to the gate and you know it's doing the whole you know and the tube is coming out to meet the plane as soon as the tube touches the plane all of a sudden the door on the opposite side of the plane pops open and a man in the suit gets on and he walks over to the three of us and he does this and I'm sitting there freaking out like oh my god this is like the movies and they pulled us off the plane and they escorted us to this area called VIP baggage claim and it sounds kind of create VIP and I get that I realize all there they're serving cookies and candy and coffee and there's leather sofas and it's really nice and there's nothing but middle eastern businessmen there okay and they're all talking about me I don't understand Arabic but everyone in this room understands when someone's talking about you the guys looking at me and he's like not a definite American economy I'm sorry but this is universal and apparently this is Arabic for Dale so then this other guy walks over to me and he's holding a sign and the sign has my name on it and he's really excited he's like he did you come did you come come let me go and I'll keep cool so we grab our luggage and we follow him outside to the curb they have three Lincoln Navigator SUVs waiting for us there's three comedians and there's three cars we're so paranoid that we're in the Middle East we all get in one car we're sitting in there and we take off we're heading towards downtown Riyadh okay now all I know up to this point about my experience is that I've already been paid my flights been taken care of and I have a point person who I'm supposed to meet at the airport who's not there so I'm talking to the drivers excuse me sir where's this guy it is okay okay okay and for me it's not okay because I researched Saudi Arabia and you know you pick the rules in Singapore are strict the rules of Saudi Arabia are very very different okay and I don't want to offend anyone and I want to make sure that I don't say the wrong thing so I need to know you know some I need some info so I keep talking to the driver so um sir would you mind helping me with some questions whatever you need you ask okay um I apologize in advance if I come across rude or disrespectful or ignorant but um how do you guys know about me here in the Middle East what do you mean how do we know yeah how do you know that I'm a comedian do you have Comedy Central or HBO or Showtime what is that that's a no that's what that is that's enough how do you know that I'm an entertainer Oh your videos you do my friend you do your huge you're the number two most famous comedian in all of the Middle East number two you're kidding I am NOT comedian I don't kid no I'm the number two most famous comedian in all of the Middle East yes who's number one Jeff Dunham Jeff Dunham is the number-one comedian in the Middle East you guys don't find him at all offensive Oh when I heard that you guys I was like you know what they get it they get it so I'm like we're cool we're sitting we're driving we're heading towards downtown all of a sudden the driver cuts the wheel really hard and we get off the freeway and now we're taking a side road going away from the city and I'm like oh excuse me where are we going we're going to this show I go on it says here that we're staying in the city yes you're staying in the city but the show is somewhere else that doesn't make sense why would you have the show somewhere else how come you don't have it in the city and then he broke it down my friend here in Riyadh it is very different okay your type of entertainment is forbidden in the city there are people called religious police that hold up the traditions they keep it so that is very traditional it is not allowed the social gathering is a no-no we must go somewhere secret in the desert all right so how many people are you guys expecting at the show easily between seven to eight hundred people that many I told you number two and sure enough you guys we pull up to this racetrack in the middle of the desert and there's uh there's a giant tent set up next to it and there's there's 800 people roughly there for a comedy show and as soon as we pull up as soon as we pull over radios start popping out and I keep hearing and all the radios - fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy all of a sudden some guy runs up on the stage and they hand him a microphone and he starts yelling to the crowd I don't know what he's saying but I've seen enough hip-hop to recognize a hype man oh yeah and then I get the biggest introduction of my life and the crowd starts going and when I heard that I freaked out I was like oh my god this is gonna be an amazing show so I ran to the stage as fast as I could I'm not a runner I booked it to the stage you guys because I was so excited and when I got to the front it clicked that in Saudi Arabia they still have segregation and I didn't find out till the last second because I saw a line going down the middle and on one side meant other side women and all the women in the front row were covered from head to toe all I saw was this oh yeah I had no idea I was performing for Assassin's Creed I didn't know it threw me out so bad you really glad and hey what's going on everybody I froze I've been doing this for 15 years I don't freeze but that threw me off so bad I didn't know what to say all of a sudden min start yelling my jokes at me my friend do the donkey the donkey just like a chocolate cake guy in the front make fun of me hell no and the people started laughing the women were laughing just as hard as the men you know granted some of them I couldn't see but for the most part it's like and I'm not trying to be disrespectful you know other lather moving and laughing I even had fun with one of the girls I said oh I saw your neck you're going to get me in trouble the Saudis had such an amazing sense of humor they were laughing and carrying on and I had no idea that we're gonna be like that and then after the show I got a chance to meet some of the locals and one guy was almost in tears he was so emotional he walks up to me and he's just like I cannot believe that I am standing here in front of you mr. fluffy thank you Please Please when you return to United States or wherever you travel let the people know what you saw okay let them know that we're not all bad that we are not all those bad people from Fox News okay you let them know because we see Fox News and Fox News believes if everybody in Middle East is bad everybody's terrorist everybody has a bomb he has a bomb he has about he has a bomb Oprah is here giving away bombs to everybody everybody please you let them know we're not all bad people okay we're not all terrorists my cousin he is raising my blood pressure every 7 seconds and then he starts breaking it down for me how stand-up comedy is starting to bring people together in the Middle East and how he's starting to do you know he's doing comedy it's really crazy the conversation you know he didn't in Saudi Arabia people they like watching the stand-up comedy because we love to laugh okay we love to laugh it's great to laugh and people don't think that people in Middle East have sense of humor they see videos they see TV they think we are the same they say oh emitter listen people are all angry look at their face they're angry everybody angry everybody mad everybody angry my friend we're not angry is hot okay this 117 degrees everybody is not mad they're hot look at everybody has a hot face hot waist everybody's hot face I promise you give me air conditioning I am so happy we are okay we love to laugh I've been doing the stand-up comedy for about the six months now and I have jokes good for you Matt right oh great all right man go ahead okay very nervous okay okay here we go two Jews walk into a bar not in my country man gonna get my ass arrested bro we wound up doing shows all over the Middle East we were in Riyadh Bahrain Dubai Qatar Doha and each show you guys was more amazing than the last show not because there were so many people but because the people were friendly they were fun they got all the references I couldn't get over that I honestly thought that they were gonna be like the people from Fox News and I felt terrible I felt terrible because I was judging them I was prejudging them and I thought that there were gonna be a certain way and I felt bad because all those years people were doing that to me not really giving me a chance and I was over there doing the same thing I felt so bad and then when I met the prince I was still judging 19 years old and he's a prince I thought he was gonna be a brat he walks up to me and I was already like what's up I fail to realize that he's a prince and he was brought up to be a prince the way he carried himself he intimidated me in about 18 seconds okay I'm 36 and I mean almost he's like Jibreel excuse me Gabriel Gabriel Gabriel I understand that your name is Gabriel but in the Arabic language your name is Jibril I was welcoming you in our language I'm a dick and I started already imagining what was gonna happen I'm so sorry I'm so sorry and he was so nice you guys he's like I want to thank you for coming here to Riyadh and doing all of these shows it was so beautiful to see everyone having such an amazing time from the little children in attendance all the way to the elderly people with a king everyone had an amazing time everyone it was beautiful okay beautiful religious people laughing religious beliefs nothing they don't laugh at I want you to understand how big this is there was an American here entertaining people from Middle East there was no violence no bloodshed no problems everybody was smiling everybody was getting along it is possible an American was here an American was here he kept saying American American American freaking tenures be called a Latino comic I had to go all the way around the world to finally get called America I was excited I was like saying again American and then I had the most surreal conversation I have ever had with the person he looks at me and he says I want to thank you for everything I want to invite you and your friends to come to my palace so that I may entertain you look are you freaking kidding me I am NOT getting invited to a palace by a prince oh my god up until this point my only experience with royalty was a Burger King drive-thru all of a sudden one of those SUVs pulls up and a guy jumps out in a suit and I guess his favorite word was please cuz that's all he said please please please please please please please like are you kidding me there's a man in a suit trying to get me in the back of a Lincoln Navigator and there's a prince invited me to his palace I'm not gonna lie I felt like a hot chick we get to the front of his palace you guys I'm not gonna lie it didn't look like a palace the walls are really high there's Bob wire around the entire property and there's two guys in the front with machine guns I'm looking at this and I'm like and I started thinking what if I'm on some messed up episode of Middle Eastern Punk'd here Amy like you thought they were copilot as you go to prison your body fortunately the doors opened up and we drive in and then they closed and when we got outside you guys what we saw was amazing outside desert inside palm trees bushes shrubs a pond and he had exotic pets I know exotic pets because I know what I have over there freaking zebra monkeys and he had a freaking boa constrictor I'm like are you kidding me snakes monkeys are zebra and a tiger oh my god that makes me Kung Fu Panda and I started thinking what if he decides to keep me it sounds messed up but let me explain as an American you cannot just purchase an airline ticket to go to Saudi Arabia you have to be invited by a person of power you know when I left Detroit to go over there I had to fill out a form that says I understand that I'm going to Saudi Arabia and should something happen to me one of those things on the list being kidnapping conveniently right above death America is not responsible the prince could have actually your mind two weeks later now he's showing someone else around it is my snake at this my zebra that is my Mexican that is my tiger your side of some little box this is G breed but it never happened and we're walking around and I actually pulled him aside for a second I said listen up I gotta tell you something well you tell me I need to apologize what did you do I didn't do anything I just want to apologize for coming here with the wrong mentality I says unfortunately I thought it just you know because it is the Middle East I thought you guys were gonna be rude and everybody's been nothing but nice ah I know I didn't think you guys were gonna speak English so well and understand you know so many references and you guys get everything ah I know I thought you guys were gonna throw rocks but you were funny what never mind so what a3 wearing so we're walking and he's showing me this and that and we're just kind of like looking around I thought it was great and then I saw something that freaked me out we're walking in the direction of a giant cage and when I saw the cage I stopped what's with the cage take a look great so I walk over towards the cage and I look inside and I notice that there's birds in there and I go okay cool it's a birdcage he got off and in yeah that's not a regular birds those are Falcons okay well you have a lot of Falcons oh you use the Falcons for hunting you hunt Falcons no no no no each Falcon is very expensive 100,000 US dollars they are trained we go out and we shoot a little animal and we send a falcon to retreat would you like to see no no no before I know it here comes the other guy please please please and he goes inside the cage and he puts on this leather glove that comes up to his elbow and he starts getting one of the Falcons I'm watching him do this and I noticed all the Falcons are on these perches about this high and there's about 15 in a row and they all have hoods covering their eyes and I asked them why do they have hoods on their eyes man they look like little hostages sorry bro I'm sorry I meant no disrespect by that man seriously no well disrespect it was a slip and he was cool I understand Middle East hostage so the other guy comes out and he's got a falcon with him and he's got a glove and he hands me the glove and I put it on and he transfers his Falcon to my arm and all of a sudden he starts doing snapping things and he's basically showing me that the Falcons trained and I thought that was grand we're gonna kill something I'm like no but we were just playing with the Falcon and I started getting excited you know and the more excited I got the more the Prince started showing his age cuz then he got excited I'm like this is great he's great yes this is so cool so cool oh my god you're so lucky to have so many Falcons I am so lucky would you like a falcon so matter-of-fact like would you like a cookie would you like a falcon same way are you kidding me don't give me a falcon that can retrieve things shoo you think I'm lazy now hell no don't give me a blow huh I wouldn't even leave the house I'd be at the front door doughnuts and who the hell is gonna watch my Falcon when I'm up here performing I can't leave it with my buddy might have been in the back you know he would abuse it take it to some nightclub try to hook up with that freakin hit the redhead two weeks later no man we were out there you guys in the Middle East for over two weeks and after two weeks of being there hey sit down hi [Applause] oh just like the last special where I started talking about Chico's tacos next thing you know people all over the world talking about Chico's tacos after this special comes out they're gonna be people all over the world calling each other ma who's [Applause] [Music] so you guys I wanted to find a very special way to close up this event and I thought it would be great if I could tell an old story that was from years ago that never made it to a one-hour special and the cool part about this story is that it it now has a different ending the story is called the gift basket some of you know it some of you don't know it but after this you're never gonna forget it all you have to know about this story is that all the people involved have always been and will continue to be friends that being said might Athena and I all the good ones start like that my Athena and I are scheduled to perform in Northern California usually we fly but this particular day I was having a problem with Southwest Airlines they wanted me to pay for an extra seat for someone who wasn't travelling with me take your time you'll figure it out anyway I tell my peen I'm not paying for an extra seat let's just drive at six hours so we headed north three hours under the drive we're passing through a city called Fresno and as we're passing a Fresno fine hallway anyway as we're passing through Fresno we start seeing billboards off the side of the freeway that said performing this weekend at the Radisson Hotel directly from BET's comicview and Showtime at the Apollo comedian G Reilly and a look at my Athena go oh shoot she's in town yeah I haven't seen G in years so we're like let's stop by the hotel and say hi so we pull into the parking lot we walk in I tell him out of bean he doesn't know we're here I'm gonna crank call his room cuz we were gonna say I said I'm gonna tell him that I'm the front desk and that he just received a gift basket what's so funny about a gift basket I said I'm gonna describe it over the phone and I'm gonna make all the items that are in this imaginary basket become items that's stereotypically a black person might like it's you crazy I said I'll tell you what we got two hours to kill how about this how about we go to the supermarket and we make an actual racist gift basket and we'll have it delivered and we'll wait outside to see what happens I said are you down we go to a store and we start to design the sickest practical joke ever I get a shopping cart and I'm like all right we need a basket so I find one I take out the grass the plastic eggs and the chocolate rabbits and we start hitting the aisles first item I grab is a fried chicken about that big see how quick that laugh was a few black people in here like this better be funny it's hysterical let me just finish the story and then you could judge me in the parking lot so anyway then my peen hands me a miniature watermelon and I put it next to the fried chicken here's where it gets interesting employees of the store find out what we're doing and they start volunteering to help us finish the basket half of the employees were black which made it so much more accurate aisle after aisle one guy was stocking a shelf he was an older white guy and we're like sir can you help us what do you need my buddy my Tina and I are trying to make this messed up racist gift basket for our black friend as a practical joke can you think of something we could put in there without even blinking an eye the guy was like gotta have kool-aid it's at the end of the aisle on the right malt liquors a next aisle over in the back of the store in the freezer section it's on sale two-for-one by the time we get to the register all these different employees plus us came up with the basket the Hat fried chicken watermelon kool-aid grape soda barbecue potato chips sunflower seeds an ebony magazine a Chris Rock DVD called bigger and blacker Magnum condoms Newport cigarettes a rack of ribs the recipe for cornbread it was getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger icing on the cake we find a greeting card that's on clearance from Halloween and it has a picture of three ghosts on the cover wearing sheets I tear off the half that says happy Halloween and on the back of the card I write welcome to Fresno love the Chamber of Commerce and we stick it to the basket we made it all nice and pretty and we haul ass to the hotel we pull up we walk in the basket is hot as hell so I'm racing it I get inside and I put it on the counter as fast as I can bro it's too perfect there's a black girl behind the front desk as soon as I put the basket down I hear
