massive fans, and they reached out and they're like, you know,
we think that, you know, we would like to honor
you with this. This is not something that happens every day,
and it's it didn't sound real. It sounds I was like, Okay,

(01:02):
the problem is I'm so jaded from show business. I'm
afraid to be happy because a lot of things have
just fallen fallen through, you know, And so when they said, uh, yeah,
that it's real, and I got you know, I got
the official letter and everything, and I'm like, oh and

leaving it up to him because he's super withever. He
makes you aware. Whatever he makes, I'll wear, you know.
You know, I'm betterin't gonna okay?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Can you imagine if I was on the back, like, yeah,
but whatever, he makes you aware, Yeah, he's clutched. Is
that something that you will give to like a museum
or something like that, or that's something you will hold
on to.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
I think I'll hold on to it for a little bit,
but ultimately I want people to see it, you know.
I want people to see the things and have access
to them. That's why the whole plan is, once I die,
my my comedy building becomes a museum all the cars.
I'm donating it to the thing, and it's going to
be open to the pub.

long time ago. So the fact that I'm being given
this honors is incredibly huge because long after I'm gone,
you know, people can still come by and so whose
little hands are those? Yeah, that was fluffy. There's nothing
fluffy about them.

Speaker 2 (04:26):

no way to make that a goal. You know what
I'm saying. It's like, how do you get how do
you set plans to accomplish that? It's it's somebody wanting
to honor you, wanting to give you this, this incredible
privilege to to be immortalized that way. You know, I

I want to put my feet in cement, just because
I don't know about the shoes, Like all my tennis
shoes are they got named brands on them. And I'm
trying to be that person and I think I'd rather
have more space to write something than than than have
hands and feet. Hands for sure, hands for sure, but

good space right there to write a date or just

I know we recently just lost Ken Flores, a dynamite comedian.
Felt like he was on his way, man, and you
had him out on the road with you.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
I had Ken Flores out at United Center in Chicago
and I'm like, oh, this dude's from Chicago. I had
him bring out his family. He brought out his mom
and his dad. I met them and it was just
it was so beautiful that at the end we were
able to take him out on stage. I'm like, hey, dude,
this is your this is your house. Everybody, this is
Ken And then it was just such an awesome night.
And to see his parents, his mom and his dad, like,

(07:44):
you know, they weren't the most fluent in English, but
they understood how beautiful and how powerful it was that
their son is on that stage in front of the city.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Man.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I have to speak with them after, and I know
it meant it meant a lot. So were you at
the Chicago I wasn't at this car about the comedy club,
and he told me the experience and everything. I was like, man,
but it meant a lot for him, and he was
just telling me everything.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
That whole experience seemed like.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Hey, man, when you see a rise in comic like that,
or just a person that's on the rise like that, man,
and and they passed, what does.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
That do for you?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Knowing like, man, it was so much around the corner,
you know, because of human beings.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
And you know, I'm not going to claim to be
the person that you can the best. I knew him.
I had an opportunity to spend some time with him,
and I reached out to him the couple of times
that he would wind up in the hospital, I'm like,
what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Man?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
You know, and it's like you have so much promise,
there's it is it is painful to see that, you know,
there's there was more. There's a lot more, not just
in entertainment, but as a person, truly a kind, kind individual,
super respectful. Every time I'd speak with him, he's always, oh,
thank you, and just like you could tell it wasn't
a place of like arrogance because he knew how funny

(08:56):
he was and how popular he was starting to become.
He was always kind and I will never say anything
bad about the man. He was just always a very respectable, nice,
funny man.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Hey man.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And you know what's wild is that you gave him
a moment and many moments you know, and you know
and I'm pretty sure you give and Ken has given
as well. But you gave him a moment, not knowing
that it was going to be a story, you know
what I mean, like a story or there was gonna
be like man, I'm so glad I gave him that
you gave him that moment in precious life, in real
time so he can have that moment with his family

(09:30):
and his parents and in his hometown like that, that's something.
And if he had a conversation with you about it,
that means it meant something dear to him. Yeah, and
that right there, Bro, that's when you say, oh, all
heroes don't wear capes or those are the things that
people don't see. Like you can get on stage, you
can be on Netflix, but people don't see like I
would literally go to your Christmas parties and see how

(09:53):
you treated people that work with you, not for you,
but the people that work with you, and what you would.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Do at these Christmas parties. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (10:00):

you did a benefit for Jose where you was like, man,
take everything that never made it to the radio, that
never made it to a story, you know what I'm saying.
But everybody has a particular story about something that you
did for them and with them.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Even in my journey of trying to do book shows
and everything.
