0:00 [Music] We uh are so lucky to have him here because we thought he wasn't able to get away, but he has escaped the clutches of ice to be here at J. [Applause] It's amazing what what English can do, huh? He's like, "Oh, buddy, I'm one of you guys." Oh, get the ████ out of here, dude. La Migra did not get our friend. He made it. The trick is you got to throw fights in front of you. But this guy jam out to the back, dude. You know, you know, finally Asians are number two at something. Oh, I know. Yeah, I can see that. Oh, they're rating the nail salons now, huh? Because Yeah, they're they're grabbing Hispanics first and then Asians second. So, hey, man. I was wondering about that. I was like, "Hey, what's the Asian dude? Why' you say that? I'm just

0:50 saying the price be like, hey, you know, that guy right there, they do nails. They have a bunch over there. Well, they hit the jackpot. No, but I didn't understand. Secret prize. Yeah, I didn't understand what was going on. Was everybody getting hit? Everybody got hit, dude. Do you There's no traffic right now. You noticed that? Everyone's going. Yeah. For real. ████ you're right. For 2 days now. Yeah. I was at the mechanic, right? And then he was like I was like, "Hey, cuz he's in Chinatown." I was like, "Hey, did the protest go bad?" And I'm like, "Is is everyone afraid to come to LA cuz of protest?" He goes, "No, everyone's afraid of the raids." And then all of his mechanics were like, "Yeah, man. This so and so, my uncle so and so." Like all these people got raided. Oh. He goes, "Yeah, I know one of these guys." They went to his house. I'm like, "Crazy, though." So Gio's mom lives in

1:40 like the hood hood. Super East LA. I'm pretty sure no one has papers. They don't kill him, bro. They got their high school degree, dude. There's people still the, you know, the ████ carts, ████ taco trucks still ████ alive. Well, I don't think they give a ████ at all. Well, here's the thing, dude. To be honest with you, I really don't think they do give a ████ I think it's sad. Yes, it's sad. But I think some of them don't give a ████ because they're going to come back. You know what I'm saying? Just keep it real. They literally are on some like, well, okay, this is my mom. I know the kids, but I'm going to come back. I'm coming back. That's what they don't understand. They're coming back. Or they're like, I need a ride back home anyways. That's a honestly some OG ones cuz I talked to this OG one and I'm like worried

2:32 vacation. It's a vacation. Vacation say hi to my second family and then come back. Second family. Holy ████ Where's your first family? Jesus. So yeah. So they're not worried. They do have that though. Oh no. There's Oh, dude. That's the thing, dude. A lot of them have families here but also had a family in Mexico that they're keeping on the low. They just send money. Shut the ████ up. And then later the kids grow up and they find each other like what the hell? We've been family this whole time. Yeah. And we're the same age. How did this happen? Same year. We have a lot of friends that just find a new family and we're like, "Oh, they're coming to our family gatherings now." Cool. That's crazy. I don't know if I can handle that. Honestly, if I I couldn't handle that. If I found out that my dad had another kid, damn. I wouldn't be able to handle that. I would have been like, "What? What what happens when you go down there and you have to be there for a while and you just see this hina, you

3:22 know, and it's your cousin. Well, oh, wait, wait, no. Half sister. Practically not even related. I go to that airport that every day. So, uh, talking about fantasy, it's a good genre. I've heard of ones I mean like step stepsister stuff. Step? Yeah. I don't like the real ones. You like sepsis or I've heard of ones where it's both families are stateside like California, Arizona. One's in Arizona. Yeah. So like like uh like the dad worked on the trains counting back and forth. But cross state. That's crazy. That's how you do it. International. No. You said regular. State. They just cross county. That's how you do it. Well, you said regular. Is it like all night? That's why you moved to Vegas a while ago, huh? No, I moved with my wife. See, I don't travel alone. So your second family's here in LA, huh? That's why you're always here. Yeah. We know how you look at Gio's mom. Oh ████ dude. Look at his eyes. It is

4:14 true though. is his is true. My wife's uh grandpa or great grandpa. No, he has a second family. He did the same ████ He has a second family. Yeah, cuz he used to work on the ships in from like Ireland or some ████ So he had a second family here. Later they did a 23 and me and they're like, "Oh, we have relatives in America." And then they found out that it's because of her great grandpa when he was working on the ships. He made another family in America. But they didn't but they I later on they they connected and they're like oh ████ like the totally different personality from a guy here like the the the father that he was here different guy from the father that he was out in Did he tell the truth first or did the evidence come out first? Evidence came out. He was already like passed away or something like that. But then it was good then. Yeah. Yeah.

5:04 He did. He made it through. He beat the game. He's safe. Holy ████ I didn't think Asians ████ like that. That's crazy. I think everyone does. Asians, you didn't think Asians did ████ like that. Honestly, Genghaskhan kind of invented it. Genghaskhan started that. How you think? Filipino. Filipinos are sneaky. We're Mexican adjacent, too. I was going to say you guys are pretty much us, you know. How you think we're the biggest population, bro? We That's true. You guys are maniacs, baby. ████ That's That's true. You guys did pull. I remember watching a YouTube video of the in uh I don't know if it was China or where, but the point is that they were selling underweares that girls would wear. Yeah, Japan. Japan. ████ you do it on your on your way to the train in the vending machine. Are you serious? You go on the train and you get your day started prop inhaler. You

You know they have some that are actually period stained. Oh, you see that's what I'm talking about. You guys go the next level. You know what I'm saying? Can you explain the logic? Yeah. It's the same logic that I thought he was going to pull one out of his fanny pack right now. I was like, wait, what are you doing? Oh, let me start the day. The smell of the day. Some people like energy drinks, but Japanese people, they like panties that are dirty. You're right. It's like a lion getting a or a shark getting the smell of blood. Yeah. I don't know, bro. It reminds me to activate. Yeah. Like they buy the bath water of a gamer girl or some ████ or like it's kind of like that. And how much do you think that is at the I'm just asking for a friend. I don't know. The panties. Yeah. Like how much do they

6:45 sell that for? Like Yeah. I don't know. Is that like five bucks or is that like you never seen a vending machine? I paid 30 underwear, but I think they they exist. You got to go like a sex shop. Yeah. I'm not paying more than 20 bucks on that. Okay. If I'm paying 40 bucks, it's around $28. That's it. That's fair. For underwear, order me some cuz I'm going to smell a little over here like this. Let me good. Thank you. Uh, but you know, at that age in high school, you're not you're not you're not mature enough for the funk anything. Well, in high school, I wasn't I was very like immature about the funk. Yeah. How do you get to that? The smell was not cuz you don't go straight there. You go like booby first. Like ooby first. No. No. Like your your your sexual like you're not into smells when you're in high school. Thank you. I think you're you're soul deprived. Probably like like I just need to smell something like a woman. You think? I

7:37 don't know. I wasn't to me the smell in high school was never like I was too like I remember my uncle telling me like, "Oh, wait until you eat eat an ass." And I'm like, "I'm never going to eat the girl's ass. Wait until you eat an ass." He's like, "And then you did it. You're going to eat an ass and you're going to be down there." I was like the fact to go down on a girl felt disgusting to me in high. I was like, "Yeah, that's disgusting. That's where they pee." ████ that. Now you can't get me out of there, man. Okay, now there, dude. Unless you're coming up for some air, brother. Yeah, dude. I start with that. Like, can I say hi? Like, this enough with the ████ the ████ man. Let's start with that. Anyways, you came hot, huh? God damn cool. Jesus Louise. But yeah, dude. But ice, you know, it's a serious issue. It's a problem in the community. You know they ████ up, right? They ████ up cuz you know all these like there's going to be an apple that costs like $20

8:27 now. I'm just letting you know they ████ up. Like do they really think that that ████ was the smartest move? It is the worst idea ever to get rid of these guys. Like so many people were getting paid under the table. Now these business are going to start, you know, I don't know what they're thinking. That was a stupid move. They they should. But they're going to come back though, so it's fine. They're coming back. They're coming back. Listen. No, please believe they're coming back. We'll be back. They'll be back. You know, just make sure you secure your social security cuz they're coming for social. They got to come back and get a job. You know what I'm saying? Yep. That's how it works, dude. You know anybody in hiding right now? We have a couple Oh, yeah. I mean, people just kind of lay in love. Oh, you guys want to hear a stupid ████ story? My uncle, this ████ guy, dude, this ████ idiot. You know what he did? He you know that there's commercials. I don't know if you guys know this. There's commercials letting you know like, hey, if you turn yourself in, we're going to not only like help

9:18 you get your citizenship, but it's like, you know, you're showing us that you can that you're trustworthy. This dumb ████ actually did that. Oh no. And then not only did they deport him, but they ████ put him in jail. Yeah. Cuz they did a whole back rush like we've been looking for you. You actually like did a DUI a couple years ago. Boom. And they ████ like you. The thing is like he left the country and came back already. He did it like two or three times. That's breaking the law. You know what I'm saying? Like that's breaking the law. So they were like, "Dude, you're going to go to jail for these ████ times that you came back. You dumb f███." So he's in jail right now. So what is it meant for like the first timer? Squeaky. I guess so. I don't Is it even real? Is it even like legit at all? I don't It don't seem like it's real. I What's so funny? He He's wanted for burglary and he goes, "Oh, I didn't think they going to catch me for that s███." This guy's an I'm like, are you ████ serious? Like, he's such an idiot. But

10:09 then he's always been an idiot like uncle. So, we're like, this guy's this guy's You know, there's people self deepporting. Have you heard of that? Yeah, I've seen those selfporting. Yeah, cuz people are just like, "F███ this. This is too This is too stressful." So, they're like, I I know like I got ████ on me, so I'm going to leave. Is that also a comeback later kind of thing? Maybe. I mean, it's not that hard, you know? Yes, exactly, dude. It's not hard to come back. Um, even though they make it seem like it's a very difficult thing, it's as easy as like there's a hole in the wall and they just go through it. I I thought it was going to be trickier than that. I thought there was like, no, there's has to be like symmetrical. Yeah, there's got to be like tunnels and ████ chop calls to open the doors and ████ chopp. Yeah, they always make it sound so like fantastic. Well, they have to in the propaganda of movies and stuff, too. They got like thermal helicopters constantly flying, patrolling. It's

10:59 Yeah, it's literally uh let's wait till that guy they got binoculars watching the ████ agent be like it's lunch time. I'm out of here and they ████ just they start running as the next cop comes in. So looks out all right clear starts eating the sandwich. I'm like I thought it was more I take that. Oh, you know, I'm just saying ████ So, from 12 to 1:00, they're just they're just Yeah, people there's a gap and sometimes, I don't know why, but 30-minute gap, it's like a grace. It's like a lunch, bro. It's like a lunch. I got a ████ somehow. The union is going to come after you. You know, I feel like it's like most jobs if if they're going on break, they just act like they don't see something. You know, like when you go on break on a job, you're like, I ain't on the clock. Or even you think it's a paperwork thing. They're like or even five minutes leading into the break. They're like, "Dude, we'll just deal with this when I

11:50 come back." It's like when cops are getting off their shift, they don't want to like arrest anybody at the last hour. Yeah. It's It's insane. It's insane how they do it. When you talk to a guy like like Cross, like a bisa, you tell these stories. They love telling you the story. How did you cross? Oh, it was a dark night. Years ago, I jumped aboard. And they make it seem like they're like superheroes. I jumped. You jumped. jump. I jumped like ████ Super Mario. I'm like, get the ████ out of here. I jumped and jumped over and I came here. I ran all the way from there to San Diego. Like, didn't stop. Didn't stop. Had someone pick them up. Yeah. Just like come on. You ████ You lied, right? Yeah. When I saw how quick people can come back, I was like, "Oh, dude, they're there's not they can't secure the border for ████ It's too easy." Cuz like when I worked

12:40 in passing at the restaurants and they would literally have like the raids where I mean this raids always been going on. People seem like people act like it just happened. It's like no dude if you working in restaurant industry you know like they'll pull up they'll come check papers whatever and then they'll grab the people that don't have papers and then they're gone and then like but everyone knew it's like oh they'll be back in a couple days. Couple days it it because the thing is if they get caught what what are they going to do? They're not going to go to jail. They're just going to tell them, "No, you you're caught. Go back or whatever." Right. And then then they're going to try again tomorrow and another day. Tell you can't stop them. So there's a job waiting for them. Yeah. Here's the thing. They have responsibilities. Yeah. Exactly. Some of them. Three. But the thing is like they kind of have like that drug dealer mentality of like the now they're making dollars, right? And

13:30 the dollars they're putting to the side. one for my third family, for the second, and here's some money to come back to their country. So, they know they're eventually going to come back. So, they got money saved in an account. So, when they do get sent over, they take a little vacation 3 weeks and they're like, "All right, now I'm going to pay the py cuz I already have that money saved. So, I'm not going to pay." They got the money to come back and forth. It's just a cycle. It's just is a business. It's a business. So, it's like, yeah, I don't understand how they think that it's How do you feel about everybody in LA protesting on behalf of like your peoples? What do you mean what I feel about it? First of all, they're ████ stupid. No, I'm just kidding. No, I think it's I think it's great. I just I never understood protest. What does that do? Well, you get free Jordans. That's the hell you're thinking. That's the

14:20 only thing about with protest and the marches that I'm just like, man, I wish I could do something that's actually is actually moving something forward. Protest is like a way for you to like voice out your anger. It's like it's like a pillow you can scream on. Like that's all you're doing. That's all you're doing. That's all you're doing. It doesn't really I don't see it's never really changed anything. I never seen I never I never heard a ████ a march or a protest, like you know what, they're right. Let's change that law. It's like I never seen that. It's usually it takes What do they think though? They think someone's in like like the capital building looking out the window. Oh my god. You see all those signs? We better scratch this out right now. They're mad at us. Never mind. And they ████ And yeah. So I don't And it takes somebody to be inside to, you know, you got to change it from the inside. Yeah. Insider. You got to vote. You know what I mean? I don't know. You got to do something. But I don't really But I'm I'm all for it. I just don't get the

15:10 looting and stuff cuz I didn't understand the when they were burning the cop's car. It was like they're not ice. Like why are you burning the cop? Yeah. Why you burning Whimo? Yeah. They're not ice. They're not ice. That's all I'm saying. It's like dude pick the right I get it. I'm all about the the energy and I'm with you with the And they ████ up little Tokyo. You're sending it to the wrong person. like the energy is going to the wrong people or they're like yelling at the police horse and the horse is just like I'm just here to do my job. He's just like it's just it's wrong. Little little Tokyo got ████ up. Did you see all of the businesses boarded up? They're so innocent. And then they're like we just do karate here, bro. We ain't the ████ you know we're not Yeah. So that's the other thing that I didn't like about the pro. I was like but I get it. It's like there's the tone of anger

16:00 you get. I watched it when I was watching videos of like people getting deported and I know that guy now not like literally know but I'm saying like I know that guy like yeah like that no like what I'm saying is like I know you know people if I saw you show a video you're going to be like oh I know exactly what he's like I know he's like routine I know that he has a family I know he's a guy who's trying to just make it in life and you're getting that guy and the anger comes out of like okay what the ████ hold on dude what the you get a little angry I understand the anger came out. You have the like what about the gangster? Like that's the people we don't want here. That's the one I'm just like, well, listen here, Junior. What did you do exactly? You know what I mean? There's a couple tear drops in your face. Yeah. I don't know. Straight to Salvador. It's It's hard for me to kind of stand up for you when you've done some bad, you know. No, for sure. But these guys, that's when it

16:50 started hurting for people. And that why I understood the whole burning the car, but I'm like, but you know, you got to be a little bit smart about where you're projecting your anger towards, you know. Yeah. Um, and also like uh and people tell me all kinds of things like, "Well, they have to work." Cuz I'm like, "Why are you still at Home Depot?" Like, you know what I mean? Like, if you show up and people were just caught by ice the next day, that's it. Go to Lowe's. I'm going to Lowe's. Yeah. Yeah. I'm out of there. I'm not Hey, let me tell you hardware. I'm not stepping foot near another Home Depot, but these guys are still like Harbor Freight. You get better. Yeah, dude. These guys are still like, "Okay, the tomorrow's a new day." And they come back. It's like, "Dude, what are you doing?" They keep getting ████ They're just, you know, they're just like, "Born job for us." It's like,

17:40 "No, dude. They're going to come back for you." Like, is that is the sentiment equal for like people from Honduras or people from Guatemala that like That's what I'm saying. Go through Mexico and that's exactly what I'm saying. take them first and then the next figure out was tad cuz they'll get deported like even farther away, right? They just might be sent to ████ El Salvador. All to El Salvador. They default everybody to El Salvador. You got face tats straight to El Salvador. So many people came like via Mexico. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. People It's so funny. So funny you say that like it's funny how like the Mexican people look down upon those people crossing like hey we don't want you guys crossing like what border can't do that Mexican ICE is probably deporting they're probably deporting the Panameanians

18:31 get the for sure you guys are all pieces of ████ get out of here what I trip out about for reals like it does trip me out I was just looking at the TV I was like man am I going crazy or what We're all waiting to hear about what the president of Mexico has to say and they're like, and I'm thinking like, aren't you embarrassed? I would be embarrassed. Like, you know, I would be embarrassed that my people have to leave this country to get better opportunities at another country. And you're over here acting like, well, you guys can come back. First of all, fix your ████ Fix your ████ That's true. That makes people not want to have to go back there cuz you have everything to fix your ████ but there's so much corruption. like fix it. Fix the problem. Why are we having to go? We don't want to come here, but it's like the opportunities are there. Why wouldn't we want to come here? It's like, you know what I'm saying? They love their land, but their

19:21 land your son's like freeloading ass friend that you kick them out. Hey, you're you might have to eat dinner at at your own house. Just wait till my mom comes. I'm like, well, your mom's going to force me to feed you dinner. Tell your mom to make dinner, dude. What the ████ Yeah. It's like It's literally like that. It's like if my kid leaves my house, he wants to go to the neighbor's house and they kick him out, put him back in my house. And I'm just like, all right, well, let him be at your house. That's where he wants to be. That's dog. Hey, how about you ████ picks up your house? Have your kid at your own house. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to stay with my family anymore.
