The Aftermask
Okay, y'all, we are back aftermask podcast. Morning, mess, Joey Boy.
JD. And it's Tiena. Hello.
Hello.
Let's introduce you.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is literally the funniest guy I follow on Instagram. We've become friends.
We are team Rafi. I think this guy is missing his calling. I feel like we're going to have to jump
start his career and be the next big comedian on IRF-ERF. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the
Aftermask podcast. Lalo. What's up, guys? What is up, guys? I'm blessed. I'm here in this live. But
the thing is, I'm not the funniest guy ever alive. I don't know about that. You're also humble.
Well, one thing is I'm always in my car and people be like, hey, dude, do you stand up? I'm like,
nobody's in my car with me. That's not yet. Yeah, that's weird. Maybe that's your stick.
No, but a lot of people told me like, hey, you should do like stand-up comedy. And I've
thought about it. But then like right now, my hands are sweating, just thinking about it, you know?
I'm a sweaty individual. But no, I love to make people laugh. It's something I love to do. It's
just a hobby of mine. But I don't know. Maybe stand-up is something I see. You got to try it.
Everybody told me that for years to try it. I tried it. And it was the most nerve-wracking thing
I've ever done in my life. I'll never do it again. You've done it. Actually, it was our good
friend, Brandon Rafi. They wanted me to host his roast. He was doing a birthday roast.
And he hired three comedians to obviously do some stand-up live. And the king of roast,
you know, Jeff Ross. And he asked me to emcee it. In between the comedians, they told me to do
some stand-up. I'm like, I'm not a comedian. Like we hear you show your funny. I was like, that's
different. I'm literally just talking to JD and CN and if they laugh, I've had a great day.
Yeah, and they make my day. Yeah, they already noticed me just laugh.
It was nerve-wracking. I feel like you could pull it off, though, man.
I don't know. I'd be thinking about it, too. But then I'm like, then I'm seeing people's
expressions. I'm like, that person didn't laugh. I'm done. This bit is over, you know? That's
what would turn me on. That was the nerve-wracking thing. But I was telling Joey, he's like, oh,
maybe you should try it. I'm like, there's no way in hell. I'm perfectly fine not trying it.
Yeah, the jokes don't land. I'm like, dude, what if someone's just like, this guy sucks. I'm like,
you're right. I'm like, I'm getting out. You know, I used to agree with the guy. You're like,
this guy's not funny. Have you been to a comedy? Have you been to a stand-up like the
comedians? No, I haven't gone yet to one. I've been invited to many, but like you haven't
been to one. Mm-hmm. All right. I'm going to bring you out to one. I think you're going to look
there like I could do that. I hope so. That's the thing or another reason I don't go because
watch him be like, hey, that's a lot. Come on stage. I'm like, no, you've never been to a comedy show.
Never, bro. That's actually really surprising. No, yeah. I just my my inspirations are like
like Kevin Hart, you know, just watch because it's cut like stand-up comedians like Chris Rock,
things like that. But I've always been funny, but like around my friend. Yeah, you know, like,
I've never been like, how can I say like, with a group and I'm like, I'm just going to say jokes
and make people laugh. Like, this is just how I come off. Yeah. And then one day I guess I just
started recording myself and I was just like, if it bites, it bites. Yeah. And it started going
that way. Like people started reacting to it. I was like, oh, people think I'm funny. And then
you read like the hate comments and I'm like, wow, people hate me. But the thing is you have to have
thick skin. Yeah. I tell people you can't be on social media and be like, wow, you have a big
head and start crying. Yeah. So like, I've had people tell me I'm dumb, I'm stupid, go die,
like 50 times, I count them. But yeah, like, I love what I do because at the end of the day,
I like when people reach out to me and they're just like, hey, dude, like your videos, like make,
like it helped me, you know, and they're so quick. It's a quick laugh because we live in that
world of now. I want to laugh now. I want to get there now. You don't want to jump over hurdles.
How do I get from A to Z, but going instead of BCDE? Your shit is like within 20 seconds,
I'm just laughing. And you literally make people laugh within five seconds. It's an incredible
art and talent that you have, bro. I appreciate that, bro. I try to make it short because like
you said, people have very short attention. Yeah. You're on Instagram, right? And you're like,
well, this got boring. And you swipe and swipe. Me, I just react to videos that I see online. And
then I'm just right before I go to the gym, too, like it's 15 minutes. People send me videos now.
I touch the mic. I'm so sorry. We're playing a drinking game every time I touch,
there's no shot here. But I'm just saying. But yeah, like every time I go to the gym,
people send me videos. And I'm just like, dang, like, and I react to them. People be like,
you look up these videos. I'm like, no, God forbid. I do not. You know, some videos I look at them
and I'm like, who watches this? I'm like, who's sending me this? But I just react to it. And it's
a natural reaction because I'm just watching the video right now. So when these people,
by the way, you're almost at a million followers on Instagram about,
almost there on TikTok. How many? Like, I think I just hit five 60 and five 60. And that's
where I started this TikTok. Yeah. Now, the whole thing and why we're rocking these hoodies,
it's kind of your, your thing. You most of the time, I see it. Yeah. And I feel like that's
your stick right now. Like you need to do the Lalo hoodies. It's every, every time. Well,
the thing is, it's funny when you do them and you're like, this, you're like straight,
one, I go to the gym on 51st and olive. And I try to hide myself. It's not saying it's the
hood. It's just like, there's pants over there. I'm on 51st and olive at the EO Avenue.
Yeah, but I tell you, you know what I'm saying? He doesn't travel west of 7th Avenue.
Pass 7th Avenue is hood. And over there, once, once, I think they know this, I'm in a hoodie.
They're like, damn, that dude's crazy too. You know, they come up to me because my hoodies,
I'm in the car, the light on me like this. I'm not going to go ask for a dollar from that guy,
you know? And I've always just started like that. And I made my videos like, well, it's cold.
So I'm always like this. And I go to the gym at five in the morning. So I'm just like, okay,
it's a little chilly. I'm like, let's watch the videos. I'm also 420 friendly. So I'm just over
there like, all right. Let's see how this life goes, right? And I'm over here watching my videos,
enjoying my time. And like, and this, like you said, this is just my iconic, like, I feel like
Cartman, like, you know, this is, this is my, my thing. I want people to know like this.
When people see the hoodie, they know it's me. That's why when you said you're like, hey,
we have to make a video with you in the hoodie. I'm like, Joey, you love the hoodie, though.
I do. I love everything. I love everything about your videos because one, obviously, you're funny.
Two, relatable. Three, it's quick. You get that instant satisfaction. We all have busy lives.
I have a such a busy life that I know I can get my quick face. So let's see if this
is my fucking doing this morning, man. Yeah. I tried to do the minute videos. That's why I like,
there's, there's different spectrums. There's like, there's Instagram, there's TikTok,
and there's Facebook, right? And I always tell people, if you ever want to go into social media,
you should read into what you're doing. So like, I started doing social media on TikTok,
didn't really care about getting paid about it, whatever. But then like, they wanted to start
paying me. So then you have to start learning like the spectrums. TikTok, you have to make a minute
video, you know? And then they have to watch 30 seconds of your minute video for you to get paid.
Nobody's watching 30 seconds. Right. If it's not interesting, you're going to get off
10 to 15 seconds off that video, whatever is what I said to TikTok, TikTok, don't be mad at me.
And then I went into Instagram. And Instagram was just real. And it's easier. It's just 15
second videos. You can of course get paid for longer videos. But I started learning like, okay,
the videos that I used to post on TikTok, I studied Instagram. And I was like, they'll pay me for
my 15, 20 second videos. And God's good. And they've been doing really good on there. And then
I don't know where like Facebook started coming to the play. Everybody's like, you did Facebook
for all the Diaz and Theos. And it's true. But that's another audience. Yeah. That's another age
that people are like, I'm not going to go into Instagram or TikTok. They just stick to Facebook,
you know? So then I started running all three. And I'm just like, wow, like learning a little bit
of each thing is something that I feel like if people are going into in like social media, you should
do. Because some people just get in there and they just start making videos and random stuff. And
I'm like, dude, don't start that way. Don't quit your job and start doing that, you know? Because I
didn't like, I started like with my food truck. And I was just doing this for fun. And then God,
like I said, bless me. And he just started getting the audience for me. And like I tell everybody,
it's just weird to me, you know, like when people are like, hey, you're that guy. I'm like,
what guy? Because you know, because they always I had my food truck first. And people and my slogan
is my shrimp your mouth, you know? And people would be like, you're the shrimp guy. But she's
a cool name to be known. Imagine you're at a grocery store. Hey, you're the guy with the shrimp.
You just leave the store. You drop the ketchup. This is so stupid. Like, you know,
but no, now people noticed me like when we went to the super shows, no, bro, like it was like,
I get uncomfortable still because like I'm just how I see myself or will always view myself
as I'm a pops, I'm a dad, I'm a cook, I'm a food truck owner. So like now that I get noticed on
social media, it's weird to me because it's like, like I said, like I'm in my corner,
like I don't really think. And for people, they think that is a stick. You literally have a food truck
on the corner is again. It's 50 percent. I'm not saying the corner is bad. I'm just saying like
I'm five in the morning. Don't pull up. You know what I'm saying? But 11, it's safe. The sun's out.
You know, it's a family of thickas. Yeah, you're you said your cousin or sister be working your
mommy. So it's my siblings. It's my mother. And then it's her husband. So it's all of us that
like I started it at my house. So I was just selling from home. I'd work at like bank,
where did I work at? I worked at a American Express. I was like sales, you know. And I was just
like, this sucks, bro. And what I would do is always ask my customers like, you know,
because I love to talk. I'd be like, like what makes you happy? Like I'd talk to customers and
they tell me or because I was helping a lot of rich guys, you know, I'm like, hey, how did you get
rich? Yeah. Just do what you love. Like one day just like if you find a niche, like do it and do
it with all you love. And one day like American Express fired me by the way. I had to start finding
something to do because I just got like go from American Express. And not but the thing is like,
I'm not lazy. So like one day I was just like, I'm going to just sell ceviche, you know, like
and it just started though. Why ceviche? It's just so fucking random. Like, you know,
some people like, I'm gonna come up my own clothing line, my own headline. No, I'm a air,
I'm a airbrush. Yeah. My ceviche is very, right? No, I tell people it's just something as a kid
because I like six years old. I knew I was really good at making it. I know that's weird.
Like it's a passenger at six. Like even though like at that age, I have like a plan that I was
going to have a restaurant. Didn't know what, you know, but my favorite food was always ceviche
since like the age of six when I got introduced to it by my dad, you know, right? And like,
I just grew up making it, making it better, making it better. And then I don't know, like at 22,
23, I was like, I make this really good. I think I can sell this. Like I think I can like,
you know, put my all into it. And I think just started going like, I found a new job,
shout out to never going there, never again, again. But like they hired me, bro, it was dope.
And I would, on my days off, I would just make ceviche and I want chiles exclusively. Like,
hey, I have 50 orders. If you guys tell me at that point, it's like 24, 24. Yeah, 24.
So ceviche, you know what ceviche is, right? You got to break it down to six years, he was having
ceviche. Yours would probably be Tater tots. No, no, no, no, my kids don't.
Is it garment? Is it a garden, like a little gourmet garment? I forget what ceviche is.
Garmin's crazy. Um, so I'm worried. No, no, no, no. So like ceviche is what I tell people is like,
it's, it's raw shrimp, right? But it's marinated inside. Just a bit outside.
Yeah, it's closed, you know, no, but it's like it's marinated in a lime salt. Has it's tomato,
cilantro, uh, I was about to just say tomato. I think I'm just saying things wrong now.
Serrano, cilantro, like the thing is, like, it's just a dish that's super fresh, but I make it,
I feel a little bit different from people because I make it to your liking. So if you don't like
something, like, oh, I don't like tomato. I think it's weird. No, I can't. No, no, I love that
because I started making my TikToks of my truck, you know, and people be like, I love you,
Lolo, but ceviche, like, I was like, dude, just, just do it, dude. I'm sure you've had other
things in your mouth that you shouldn't have, you know? I know I've had people like, in my,
my wife tells me a lot, she's like, it's crazy how many different ethnicities come, you know,
it's Asian, it's black, it's white. It's not just Latinos, you know? It's not just my people,
you know? I know, like, Sienna, you're, you and your husband, did you guys know he was this big
and socials when you were or because they order it? Yeah. So I was just, I was waiting for you to
finish. I was going to interject here, but funny story is we used to order from you back. I even
told my husband, Ivan, can you look back at when you ordered from Lolo? And he said October of 2024.
And so he just found you on Instagram. And I'm sure you've had many orders since, but we used to
live downtown and he used to deliver. And so that was the hard. So you would make it and deliver it.
Yeah. And we were downtown and you live or at least in the area. We're all live. So that's
pretty much a drive for you, but he would come and deliver to our downtown apartment. And we would
fuck that shit up. It was so good. And it was funny because one day I was just on TikTok and I was
watching you do the cut water reviews. You got fucked up on cut waters. And so I'm watching it.
And I was watching like the whole storyline of it. And my husband looks over and he's like,
that's Lolo. And no offense, but I was like, who's Lolo? And he was like the guy who makes our
ceviche and our cheetahs. And I was like, no way. See, that's the funny thing. People,
like they come to my truck and they don't know that I have social media. That's why when people
are like, let me take a picture with you. And I'm like, no, because our customers, I feel rude
because they're like, dude, that's my chef. Why the hell is he taking pictures with people? You know,
it makes me laugh because at the end of the day, I always wanted to be a cook.
Always wanted to be a cook. I love making food. You know, like how people would be like,
oh, I'm, I fuck it up. It's like one of my favorite dishes because I love to make that dish.
You know, like, I love when people be like, I just had a great bowl of ceviche or our chili.
But now I'm like implementing like, damn, that's a big word.
He's gone Hollywood. I got the sourcing of it. I was joking. It's the word of the day,
if I like to watch out. But no, yes, no, and then I just started being funny with it. So now,
I started doing like TikToks of just being funny. And then at one point, I was just like, dude,
nobody knows that I have a goddamn food truck. Like they just think I just make videos in my car.
Yeah. Until one day, I was like, oh, and I still make the video. Till this day, I'm like,
hey, guys, I'm here in Glendale, Arizona. You're in Glendale, Arizona. I'm like, where did you
think I was? I was like, one time this lady said, you're not from Wichita. I was like, what
are you talking about? Well, I know people that thought you from Glendale, California. Yeah,
that I had to and I grew up in that area. So even that people that saw me take videos or pictures,
as we've been hanging out more. They're like, I thought he from Glendale, California. So I see
on your videos, you're like, you're I mean, Glendale, Arizona. Yes, bro, because I always go to
Glendale. I mean, I was going to Glendale. No, I do not. I always go to California to go to
Disney to take my girls and the fam, you know? But people like when they see me, they're like,
hey, dude, I thought you were from here because I have crazy enough. I have a lot of people that
know me in Cali. I go to Cali and they're like, dude, you're Lolo. I'm like, dude, you know me.
Like that's crazy. Like it's weird. Like I'm telling you this one guy because I was I was in my
girl. We were at this tea spot, you know, not tea. Oh my God. That sounds not manly.
Macha. Macha. Macha. Macha. Macha throwing the cuss in there too. So I'm in there, dog.
And they're watching like this guy just mean mugging me. I don't know why this guy see that in the
Macha spot too. He's just really tough looking and he's just looking at me. I'm like, damn dude.
I'm wearing the wrong colors. I'm in Cali, you know? He comes up to me and he's like, hey,
can I talk to you real quick? I'm like, put the kids in the car. Oh, like we're done, you know?
He's like, dude, you're Lolo. Let me take a picture with you. I'm like, bro, this is weird to me. I'm

followers, there's a lot of people eyes on you. I'd be telling people I don't know if they're
real either. People would be telling me they're like, I have this one guy that made me laugh.
He gets in my DMs, right? He's like, hey, how is it to buy your followers? You know,
because that's how it is. I told him, my bro, I've had a cracked windshield.
For three years, you think I'm going to want to buy your friendship?
A lot of people, because they're like, dude, you buy all your followers. I just post videos. If
people follow, they follow. I have no time to be spending my money on people to be my friend.
That's weird. One thing about you, I like is like, man, I like this guy because he's funny
and then meeting you and meeting your beautiful wife and your girls. You could tell that you are
a husband first and a father first. How do you make the relationship work? Asking for a friend.
Allegedly, I'm not lucky in that department, but for those that know me and follow me throughout
the years, they grew up with me. They grew up watching me and my kids grow up and my relationships
and been married and divorced. You had your ups and downs. How do you make your marriage work
specifically now that you're in the spotlight? Now, I mean, how can I explain it? For me,
like, I grew up with my wife since high school. High school sweetheart. High school sweetheart. 18
senior year, we graduated. Boom. What high school y'all go to? Paula. Paula. Okay. So we've been
together since then. Don't get me wrong. We've had our ups and downs. You know, like people would
just be like, oh, you guys per... Love or a marriage or whatever doesn't work that way. You know,
now in the spotlight, I try to like make it known to her because she is like my wife and
she notices like some some boys and girls are very disrespectful and in DMs and stuff, you know,
and I make it known to her like, you're going to be forever like you're, you know, you and my
girls are my number one. Anything, anything or anyone that comes like trying to talk to me or
anything, that's, you know, that's something that I'm ignoring because I'm barely trying to get
how can I say to the just of being juggling these two things, you know, so I'm juggling being a
business owner. I'm juggling being a funny guy now and now I'm juggling like you said in a
marriage. And what I always tell my wife like, everything that I earn or I'm getting now, she
deserves because she was with me when we were like sleeping in an apartment on like the mattress,
you know, and that's how I view things. I view my wife as my best friend because at the end of
the day, like podcasts like these, I get nervous. I'm like, dude, I can't. I can't do it. Like,
it's weird and she's telling great by the way. I appreciate how you handle a sweaty or divine.
Super sweaty, you know, no, and she tells you why you've been seeing the meet and greet.
There's awesome meet and greet. You went on and you're like, hey, ladies, when you come through,
I'm going to do the lean-in. Don't hug me. Yeah, I do. My wife is going to be there. I'm like,
I like this guy super, super respectful of his wife or she could fight. Or go ahead.
He's very careful. No, one. Okay, let's not put that into the world. The lady's my girl can't fight.
So if any girl is out there like, oh, I'll fight for, no, she'll call the cops. She's really
used to my girl's not ghetto. You know, talk that. She'll be like, I'm calling the cops.
So like, nine, one, just one, whatever. No, and I just like, at the end of the day, that's my
shorty. Like, I tell her I'm like, hey, um, because at the end of the day, when people don't understand,
like, she goes through my, like, not goes through my phone, but like, I tell her,
I'm like, can you go through my DMs? Because people with DM me where I don't, how can I, I can't reply?
Like, let's say, even like, Rafi, like, messages me. I'm like, who's like, Rafi message you,
I'm like, oh, God. You know, like, like, she keeps up with everything for me appointments. Or when
people, like, reach out to me for collabs and stuff like that. Like, she's like, my, she's not
only my wife. She's also my assistant, you know? So she does everything for me. So when anybody's
sending me anything, like, funny or vulgar or anything, she's reading it first. So jokes on you,
guys. You know, you know, we don't love that though. No, but you do that with your husband.
I should. Would you that I've been to that to yours? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. But I love like the
disclaimer because I mean, at least for my husband, there's weird people in my DMs as well.
He's very secure. And I feel like I try to do a good job at making him feel secure the way you
do your wife. But like, regardless, things are going to happen. People are going to say things.
So like, how has she been adjusting to all that? Like, I know she can expect it. But that's one
thing because she can still feel some sort of way about it. No, she does like the amazing.
I'm like, every time I tell her, I'm like, how do you feel? And she's like, like, I'm proud of you.
And I know you wouldn't do like, she always put into my head like, you wouldn't do anything stupid
because at the end of the day, like you I have a lot that I represent, you know, imagine me out here
just being dumb, you know, out like when I do a events or when I go out with friends and
the thing is there's people there's eyes on me that I don't even know, you know, like I'm
imagine me being dumb. And then someone being like, hey, it happens a lot. And no, and that's the
thing. And that's where you learn. Like, I don't want to be that I don't want to be an Austin with
broom. I don't want to be like, Oh, you know, I don't that guy had it all. Everything. He had it.
Imagine having everything and just because you can't stop yourself from, you know, talking to other
people, you losing everything. That's kind of like, that's ridiculous. I'm kind of sitting back
watching your rocket fly right now. Like this guy's like, I I know how to pick talent. And I
spot talent. Like when I met Sienna, I knew they had me when I had to start off a morning
show all over again. They had me auditioning all these girls. And she had no radio experience.
So none at all. And me and JD, JD used to be my intern 15 years ago. So they said,
you want to reunite with JD? I'm like, cool. JD come in. And then we're going to audition
this girl. And we were auditioning. Other girls within five minutes. I already knew like, oh,
she's the one. She's the one. So when I see you move and I see what you're doing, I just
tilt back. I'm like, oh, this kid got that it thing. Because I think it's an it thing.
Very good. It's an it thing. And one of the things that make me laugh and you're just such a
humble, good guy. So I was like, you have to do our podcast. I just surround myself with good
energy. And I've had to exclude people from my life that like, that's not a good energy.
Doesn't mean I don't like you, per se. I mean, I can't rock with your energy. So when I met you,
and I heard that Rafi brought you on as an ambassador. Rafi is, he's a good friend of mine.
I'm the OG ambassador. They brought on JD and CNN, too. We all family here. Now we were
at a little mixer that Rafi put on at that, that, um, what do you call it? It's a, speak easy.
Yeah. I didn't realize I was sitting next to Lalo and Rafi's in. And I'm just like me and
Rafi just chopping up. Rafi's coming in his way. And then Lalo, he's just like, it's happening.
It's happening. I'm like, what's that? He goes, I've never met him. I'm like, you're an ambassador.
What do you mean? You've never met Rafi? You're like, no, I'm like, oh, hold up. I go, Rafi,
can we get a picture? Then I was like, no, he's never met you. Who?
That's my favorite story is how I got into the squad, bro, because I shot it to Rafi.
There was just a video I made fun of them. Like, I was making fun of Rafi, but not like make
a fun of you, Rafi. Like, I love you, dog. Um, but like, and then I guess their team saw it and
they fell in love with me. And I was the whole time because they were messaging me, they'll,
hey, do we want to sit down and talk to you? I was like, brother, they're going to sue me.
Oh, that's, you have to think about that. I just finished suits, dog. The, the, the show,
you know, it's on my brother, he's suing me. Like, I defamed him. I don't know what I said for it.
He's behind that. Look at that. Look at that.
I'm a lawyer, man. He's sitting on the wall. I dude, and there's like two times they reach out to me
and I told him the truth. I was like, dude, I really don't, I don't want to see you guys.
He's like, I just got good. I just got good at this comedy shit. Imagine me going to jail,
like, you're like, no, like just come in and I'll say, all right, right, I go in there, bro.
We, like, they're talking to me and blah, blah, blah. And they're like, hey, dude, like, we got
you tickets to the casitas. I was like, take a seat. I'll like, whatever, bro, they'll make
fun of Rafi all the time. So I get over there, bro. I have the time of my life at the casitas.
I have another meeting with them. And then I guess like in September, they bring me in.
They'll, hey, we want to sign you. I was like, dude, yes, this is dope. Cool. September,
they signed me, bro. I met them back in August, though, but in September, they signed me cool.
I didn't meet Rafi until that thing until December, like, hey, and the whole time in my head,
I'm like, this guy's not real. You know, they're running hit. It's AI. Like, I'm like, it's a
firm. I'm crazy. Rafi's not real. This is all conspiracy, by the way, because I met him,
so he's a real guy. But I was like, dude, I've never seen him. And then when I met him,
I was like, oh, shit, he's real. Okay. He's the nicest guy. I was like, every conspiracy I've
ever made in my life or my life, I have to let it go. Well, we have this, we do our podcasts,
but every once in a while, we do an aftermath podcast live at Stand Up Live. And I called him,
and I was like, hey, do you want to be in our first one? Like, people would love to meet you.
And so many people, because we surprised everyone. So we brought him out. Everyone coming up to us,
like, we thought he was AI. We thought he was fake.
Every time I, every time I meet him on my brother, can we just take a picture? Because like,
nobody believes me that you're real. You know, I have like three pictures with him.
Maybe a solid four that's photoshopped. But hey, I dig him, bro. I was just like, I was like,
hey, Rafi, you're a massive dog. You're pretty dumb. He's like, stop it. He's like, stop it. I'm not,
it's like, I'm not that buff. People always have like things to say. They're like, you even
know anything about Rafi. I'm like, I don't know a lot of things about a lot of things,
you know, but I'm like, he treats me amazing. Like everything. And everybody just thinks it's
just like, oh, it's the lavish. It's like, you go to games and everything. I'm like, no, dude,
we do a lot of charity things. We do amazing things for our community. St. Mary's, we do the
walks. We do the, like the parade. We do a lot of things that are often called Rafi's hope,
which is basically the hub for all the charity events and money that they raised.
And there's things still lined up. It's only it's only March and you're still going. So that's
why I tell people, I'm like, just instead of you guys just thinking, like, oh, all they do is just
go out and have a good time. I'm like, everything, I feel like everything we do is a good time. I tell
them the, I think what brought me to be like, okay, I love this group. A lot is when we did the buying
the gifts with the kids. That's my favorite of the year. I think that's what, like, I was like,
no matter what is ever said. I'm like, well, you go buy gifts with kids and cry about it. Dude,
I was over there reading lists. And I was just like, all right, I even told my girls I got to,
because I'm a soft, you know, I'm such a softie. And I told my girls I got to act tough. I was like,
okay, if you don't know Rafi every season, they have like a, Rafi's like a Christmas list of
families that write in that they're kind of short money for the holidays. So we're helping out
Santa and the kids and they pick a bunch and they get all the ambassadors and you guys will be
part of it. I'm guaranteeing you this will be your favorite event that you do all year long. And
the parents come with their kids. They give them like two, three hundred dollars and you're with a
shopping cart and you're helping these little kids buy all the stuff on their list. And I took my
daughter. I took my night. How does your old? Mine is nine. Okay, mine is nine as well. So I took
Gia with me and driving over that I explained to her. There's certain kids that can get everything
off the list, you know, and so it was such a great moment with me, my daughter. And she became
quick friends with all these little kids. She's like, she was helping them find their dolls and
Barbies. And it was the most amazing thing. And I think we've done it two years in a row. But
yeah, it's super humbling. It's, it's amazing. It's a, it's a, because like I said, the first question,
I mean, that doesn't, not to disclose who it was, but they're just like, I wish I had
whatever you guys give me if I could only have some so I can buy for my brothers and sisters.
And I was like, I'm about to start crying right now. I'm so bad at it. And I was just like,
it makes you realize, you know, like, dang, like, if you're having a bad day, don't have a bad day.
You know what I'm saying? Like, relax. I have one kid one time because you're a target. You
don't realize targets. I mean, he's big targets. He went to go buy like some cereal and stuff.
Yes. And I'm just like, yeah, when they bought for, I was like, bro, we just take my money,
like, take it all. I was like, hey, we over I'm paying. Yeah, we're over, bro. Just hit just
ticker. Yeah, there's one time to say, I think we're a little over, like, don't worry about that.
Don't worry about that. So it's, it's an incredible thing to do. And so shout out to Rafi. Thank you

Let's have some fun. Should we play Did y'all know with Lalo? Let's do it. He's very competitive.
You always let the people that are here win. How is that? I have you tell me.
I'm gonna ask random questions. Give out random points and we'll see who wins Did y'all know with
Lalo. He's very competitive and he's a crybaby. He loses all the time to see. I'm just nervous
about what we're going to do. Go ahead. Go. Who do you want to start then? If you think I'm going to
cheat? You have Lalo cheat. There's going to be themed out for kind of Lalo. Okay. Okay. I won already.
Here we go. Let's see. Let's start with this one. You're in the food business. So the inventor of
Nachos. That's the type of question. He was created in 1943 by Ignacio. Nacho with Wano, Anaya,
and Pietras Negras, Mexico. Now he made Nachos for this group of people. What type of group of
people were Nachos invented for? Let's get on the board Lalo. What do you think? These group of
people? Who were they? All right. Talk. You guys are wild. I thought I'm a buff of the
wild wings. All right. For who? I don't get like multiple choice. This is why I'm a cook,
by the way, because I drop out of school people. Drop that of school because of tests.
Oh, who do you think Nachos are for? Say Lalo. Say it. Say it. I will say it. Your answer is
for Mexicans. We couldn't hear the people in the back couldn't hear you for who?
That's for us Mexicans. For us Mexicans. All right. All right. Let's go with CN. CN.
I was getting specific and I was going to say like the cartel. The cartel. That's very specific.
Okay. Cartel. They could be any ethnicity at that point. Yeah. Cartel in general. Okay.
JD. I'm going to go construction workers. Construction workers. Yes. Okay. Construction workers.
Yes. Cartel and Mexicans. Wait. I don't know. We can't. You didn't know you couldn't
be racist. I didn't know I can't. I didn't know you. JD pulls this all the time. The
ball. The builder one. The cartel one's going to wild. I have no idea of this guy.
You get one change. My man was held a ransom if he's making Nachos for the cartel.
We got to make more cheese. Right now. No. Right now. You want to get more specific?
No. It's just going to fuck you. Yeah. Mexicans. I feel like that's just the. Yeah.
All right. Answer is. I'll let you know two minutes. What is the point? Why?
Did y'all know? All right. Lalo will go last on this question. Okay. Because he should know
this one. Oh. Okay. Okay. Okay. You know. What's Lalo's model for his business?
My shrimp your mouth. That's right. So we're going to ask a shrimp question. Okay. Okay.
Shrimps are decapods. Meaning they have how many legs? How many legs do shrimps have?
Wait, Deca. Oh. Let's say if you know it. I don't know what Deca means. I brought that
from the science. No. No. I'm going to say I'm trying to think of a shrimp.
You're really trying to count them like that. Yeah. Is that how you eat them? That's weird.
I'm going to say. I'm a picture of my 12 12 little legs. My guess was going to be 12,
but I'm going to go. Fuck, dude. I hate shrimp. Come on. I'll go I'll go 11. You'll go 11.
You said 12 11. Lalo, you should know this.
Oh, 11. That's an odd amount. Oh, I'm sorry. Because 12 was so much fucking more.
I've never heard anybody with the left leg. 10. We have a correct answer.
Answer is 10. Lalo. No, no, no, no. It's shrimp.
Doug Deca. Deca. Oh, Deca. Oh, Deca. Oh, Deca. Oh, Deca. In English, I know the word
decade. Call it drop out. What's up, guys?
Ash yellow. Apollo. Look it up. You didn't. Thank you, Miss Tibo.
Did John know? All right. Did John know? JD, you'll go first. Phoenix was almost not
called Phoenix. They had an original name for the settlers of here in Phoenix, the settlers.
What did we use to call? What was it going to be called before Phoenix?
I'm going to give a half a point to someone that comes anywhere close.
What was it going to be called? In Fierna. If it's not Phoenix.
It's not. It wasn't going to be Phoenix.
Gosh, what was it going to be called? It was just going to be called hot.
It was hot. Hot. Stun. Caliente.
Caliente. Caliente, Arizona. Arizona. Okay.
See, I was thinking sunrise. Sunrise, Arizona.
Yeah. Sunrise, Arizona.
These are really good. Good morning, Brett here, right?
Born and raised. I just never knew the origins of ours.
I didn't even know that people said, hey, before we pick Phoenix, let's take this.
Damn it. I do. This is hard because I have so many
that Fuego. Fuego. We got Fuego. Sunrise. Sunrise.
What did I say? I said, it was almost called Pumpkinville.
Pumpkinville. That's what I did, John. No, it's not weird.
I don't like that. Yeah, I didn't like it either. That's like a fall.
Exactly. Where did they discover Phoenix like during?
No, no, they maybe they took a raise your hands if you like Pumpkinville.
They don't like that name. Stupid. No, don't take a Phoenix.
Pumpkinville. Yeah. That's a good dish. I'll know.
Should we go back to that first one?
Yeah, dude. I've been anticipating this one.
The nachos. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, the menu.
Let's go back to your menu on your show. What do you have?
You have ceviche? What else?
So it's our seafood base. So when people come up, like, hey, you can, dude,
okay, we don't have burritos of carne sala.
We don't have pollo. We don't have alpa store.
We don't have chicken. Why? Because I just like seafood, dude.
It's like in and out. When you go to in and out, it's like me.
I love it. I love it. I love a small menu, man.
Because you go to a menu. Bro, one time, let me just tell you why.
This is why I made my menu easy. I went to payway once, right?
Again, I'm 420, friendly. I went there after being 420, friendly.
I went and I looked at the menu and I was just like,
yeah, fuck this, dude. Let's go somewhere else, dude.
Like, what do you mean, choose your side? No, no, no, no.
I left. Me and my girl left. We're like, no, dude, let's just go to the habit.
We got a burger, bro. But that's why I made my menu easy.
Because when you go up there, like, what do you have?
ceviche? And non-wachile. Like, you know, shrimp shrimp.
And if you want to add other protein, like scallops or octopus,
you can. But other than that.
You made me a compachina with a burpo and shrimp.
Oh, it's bad, bro. I'd be in there making myself food,
like when it's slow and on my dude. I go to the gym.
I know I act like I do and I take pictures and the poses look cool and all.
It's all, like, not real, anyway.
But I eat so much at my food truck, bro.
And that's the thing, like, I started thinking I'm like,
I was going to eat you that because, like, say you work that in McDonald's.
When you get off the shift, you're not going to eat a big Mac.
You know what I mean? So you eat the seafood.
You're always eating the food.
Oh, dude, yeah. Because I feel like, good, that's my favorite food.
And I feel like I worked out on McDonald's.
I worked out at Pizza Hut to the point where it's like, you know,
you start to throw up.
No, I can eat my food all day because it's, for me, it's different.
Like, sometimes it's more lemony.
Sometimes it's more spicy.
Sometimes it's more, it's a little more salty, you know.
Sometimes I switch it up.
I got a fish taco or a shrimp taco.
Like, I can never get sick of seafood.
Let's get to the nachos.
The inventor of nachos, his name was Ignacio Nacho,
with one no Anaya and Biedras Negras Mexico.
I got my question.
I got to choose my answer.
You know it?
I feel like I kind of do it.
Okay, what were your guess?
Mine was construction workers.
Very good guess.
Mine was the cartel.
Cartel, okay.
Just the way he describes it by any chance.
Because I remember nacho Lira.
Is it for a church?
Or for a church?
For like, people at an orphanage.
Or for ships.
The squeeze, I feel like I took it for an orphanage now.
Okay, so he invented it for a group of U.S. military wives.
Damn it.
Military wives.
Maybe when they're men we're fighting.
He came up with a little stuff for the wife.
Anyone close to that?
No.
Not really.
All right, so I guess.
They were a remex.
And the winner for the first time.
Congratulations brother.
It's all no.
Look at that.
I paint them off.
I was good at judged.
I was like, man, I'm setting them up for failure.
If he doesn't know this one about the shrimp, you know.
His whole thing is shrimp.
Well, once you said Deca, I was in there dog.
I was like, if I were my son, definitely wouldn't have done that.
I sort of got it.
Bro, I've never been there looking at my shrimp.
Like, let me just count these legs.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, good.
I've never been like, hey, like, like, I just know to devane them,
to clean them.
And that's, I've never just looked at them and be like,
damn, dog, 10 legs, huh?
That's great.
That's why.
Yeah, and then toss them.
And then be like, 11 on this one.
She said 12.
11 is weird.
Why is 11?
I mean, 12 is even.
He's off to eat this.
It's an animal.
It's an animal.
You're not three.
Does anything have odd legs?
I'd have to get back to you on that fight.
Maybe.
It will.
That's kind of weird, though.
Octopus, eight.
Octopus, eight.
Eight.
Humans, two.
Dogs, four.
Okay, we'll have it.
I hear you, but there are some creatures.
Digulous.
Lalo, I can't fuck away.
Yeah.
Because I'm hungry.
Get a bream of got in the hay.
Lalo.
Next time, we're,
could it all out, dog, you can't do it.
We're not going to get smoked animals with odd legs.
I'm out.
Let's go, go.
Hold on.
Go ahead.
Let's go.
Okay.
Hold on.
Let's go.
The AA spiders,
geckos,
and tapiers.
They have a needle.
How many geckos have?
Um, it looks.
Are they counting the tails of fifth?
Yeah.
That doesn't make sense.
It's not my problem.
Get, um, the gecko.
Yeah.
I made a good commercial many times.
Yeah, that's what you're gonna ask for.
To or for.
I don't know what to tell you.
You make it up shit.
The millipede.
It's out of no.
Can we do life advice?
Sure.
Yeah.
The way the advice is all you can do.
I'm thinking myself look really bad right now.
It's like Gecko.
Making up shit.
I just don't appreciate the attack.
I'm being attacked.
At the end of the day,
at the end of the day,
I don't appreciate the attacks.
This is an act.
Okay, so I actually have curious life advice.
So what was the final,
for someone who's trying to get into social media
or just maybe anything they really do love?
What was the thing that puts you over the top to be like,
I'm just doing it.
I'm just going for it.
Dude, honestly, what I tell people,
and this is our,
honest to when I go on live,
I talk about it every day, you know?
Because it's not a formula.
It's not anything that's crazy.
Like I woke up one day and I'm like,
I followed these steps.
I just love what I do.
Like I don't wake up and I never feel like I'm working
if that makes sense.
Like if when I got into social media,
I loved it.
Like it was like, hey, you know,
at the end of the day, I get love,
I get hate, but at the end of the day,
like it's a phone.
I can turn it the fuck off.
I'm like, you know?
A lot of people get stuck on numbers.
A lot of people get stuck on love comments
or hate comments.
Or I know at the end of the day,
like it's just a phone.
I know at the end of the day,
like someone could be better than you.
Someone could be wishing that out.
They were in the spot that I'm even in, you know?
So what I tell people is if you love it, do it.
Don't do it if you feel like,
oh, I just want to like number wise or I want to get paid
because if that's what you're going to do it for,
you're going to get, you're going to drain yourself.
You're going to get sick of it
because at one point I was doing it to just be like,
I'm going to post stuff and I'm going to get money out of it.
And at one point I'm like,
this doesn't even feel generic.
This doesn't even feel like me
because I was just giving out content that wasn't me.
So if you ever want to do social media
and you're like a baker or if you do like Pokemon collector,
whatever you do, just do it like with your style,
do it with your love and you're going to have good days,
you're going to have bad days, but don't stop doing it
because one day those bad days,
you're going to have bad days, bad days, bad days.
It's going to break where it's just going to go.
It's just going to skyrocket one day.
I was having really bad days and one day,
I was only getting 100 followers, 200 followers.
Next week I'm getting 10,000 followers.
Like either I give up and I just say,
oh, I'm not doing as good as I did last week
or I just keep doing what I'm doing
and it's just going to go figure itself out.
Was there a voice?
Was there a specific person that told you,
hey, you're kind of good at this.
Like you should just do this
or was that a personal thing?
Because usually there's like one person.
It could be a teacher, it could be.
I mean, I think it was always growing up for me
where people like, you know,
how teachers would put in your yearbook,
like, hey, don't ever change.
Don't ever change the person you are or whatever.
And it always stuck to me because I'd be like,
I'd always be the class clown.
I'd always be like raising my hand, saying dumb stuff,
like blah, blah, trying to make the class laugh.
That was my goal.
I think one day, like, I just realized,
because you know, we're getting older.
COVID happened and I lost two really dear people in my life.
That was my Godfather and then one of my uncles in Mexico
and those people like drove me and they were telling me,
like, hey, dude, you're like, you have something special.
Like you're family, but you're funny.
Like you're hilarious.
Like, why don't you try?
And my Godfather, he would tell me, he's like,
if you're not gonna, because I tell him,
I'm gonna be like, I would do my best at school,
but I was not good at school.
Like I tried, I get season Bs, maybe a D,
that's what you're getting out of me.
But he would tell me, he's like,
even if you can't go to college or you can't go to school,
do something you love.
Like I know, like there's something in you,
there's a spark and if you just let it dim,
it's gonna just, you know, and ever since then,
like those works stuck to me, I was just like, dude,
like I could just give up or I could just, you know,
at the end of the day, give it my all.
And that's what I do with my videos, I give it my all.
And sometimes people will be like, well,
that's just you reacting, it's just,
because that's what I do, right?
That's all I do.
In general, I don't, I know I reached out to you
and with jumping on what,
JD said, you did a post a couple of weeks ago,
I reached out to him, like, yo, that's strong.
You posted a picture when you were younger.
I think we talked this on the podcast.
And I embraced when I was younger, I used to get picked on
because I was a small kid in the school.
And you posted a picture of yourself.
You were a little gordito back in the days.
Oh, bro.
And you put up the picture and you're like,
this is for that.
You wrote something that was so endearing
as like, you were doing it for a younger version of yourself.
Yeah, because I mean, back in the day, I mean, also,
I mean, I was, I'm a kid of divorce, right?
So my parents split up when I turned like 18, 19.
I mean, I was older, but it still hurts,
because you know, you left your parents, you know?
And that kid went through a lot,
seeing like the process of that, you know,
of that divorce leading on.
And like, you would always, like as a kid,
you'd always be like, as a dad now,
it'd be like, dang, I would never like do that to my,
like, not that they did anything wrong.
I would never show what, like,
the process of a divorce to my kid.
And I've always wanted a little hero.
I was like, as a kid, you know?
And when I see pictures of my younger self,
I remember on my ding that little kid used to be like sad
or that little kid used to be like,
like, I would hide in my room and play with my toys.
Like, I remember my childish ways back then
or my adolescence, if that's the proper word.
And I'd be like, dang.
And now that I see myself older, like, I look up to myself,
I'd be like, dang, I wish I was that guy.
Right, right, right, right.
So like, if I could go back in time and like,
see myself and be like, dude, you're gonna be good.
Like, don't worry, like, that's how I always see myself
whenever I'm sad or whenever I have a dark day.
Because people just think like, oh, you're always happy.
Like, oh, no, like depression comes, bro.
Like, I think there was a point in my time, 2022,
I was very depressed.
And that's when I started doing social media.
And I was just like, you know what?
I'm just gonna vent and talk on here.
And if it works, it works.
And it started working.
And then I think that's when I just started
to like break the boundaries of me being the,
because at the other day, you talk yourself down.
Like, nobody really.
Like, you could be like, hey, Lord, you're not funny.
Or anybody could be like, hey, Lord, you suck.
And then if that sticks to you and you just keep repeating,
like, oh, I'm not funny.
I'm not funny.
Then you're gonna not be funny.
And one day I was just like, hey, like, I'm kind of cool.
Like, one day I just woke up and I'm like, I'm kind of cool.
Like, I don't think I'm the shit.
I don't wake up and I'm like, damn, I'm way cooler than you.
Because no, I just, I know I have a purpose.
Like, I know I'm here to like, what is your end goal?
What's the end goal with Lalo?
Dude, my end goal is to be healthy
and be able to walk my daughter's down the aisle.
For me, that's mine, right there, yeah.
I tell people, because I think the day
social media tomorrow could just go away.
You know, like, so the internet, with everything
going on in the world that it could turn off
and we don't have internet.
We can go right back to 20 goddamn 24, 22, you know,
like where we didn't have Google Maps.
We didn't have connections on the phones.
That's why I'm blessed that I have a food truck.
Because at the end of the day, everything goes dark.
I still got my food truck, you know what I mean?
But at the end of the day, my end goal is just to be here, bro.
Just to like, enjoy every moment.
My wife tells me that a lot.
She's like, you have to start enjoying the moment.
Because I keep, oh, I'm an overthinker.
I think about, like, right now,
I was just like, dang, the podcast is going to happen
and then I have to do this and then I have to do that.
And I'm not, I'm never here.
And then right now, like, I'm enjoying this.
Like, I'm enjoying the times that I have
and being with really awesome people.
And that's also advice I give, like, enjoy the moment.
Because people are really stuck on their phones.
Oh, yeah.
I got, someone that told me that and I got a tattooed on me.
They tattooed me.
Enjoy the journey.
Well, you're never, like, enjoying what's going on right now.
And I'm an overthinker.
Let's play the game.
Don't say it yet.
Let's get to sign.
All right, see you now.
What do you think?
Oh, Lord, dude.
You think he's one of us?
When I think of overthinkers, I think of a lever like me.
Oh, same, but he's a softy, he said.
Super soft.
Like a glorious.
And a Pisces are soft.
Pisces are soft.
Yeah.
I don't know.
My ex-wife is a Pisces.
I don't know about that.
I'm gonna say a Pisces.
A Pisces, all right?
JD?
I was gonna say a Scorpio.
Oh, that'd be dope.
But.
No.
I'll throw you guys off, not.
I'm super soft.
I'm a cancer dog.
Cancer.
Yeah.
Okay.
So when everybody's, I do this all the time when I get on, like,
I'm dick talk, I'd be like, guess my, guess my sign.
And they're like, oh, I don't know.
Like you guys are like, you're coming off as a Scorpio.
I'm like, oh, yeah?
Yeah?
Yeah, that's crazy.
Because I'm not.
I'm a cancer.
Throw everybody off the earth.
What the hell?
No, I'm just like, I tell people, I'm just not that I'm soft.
I just, I feel like I'm really empathetic.
Yeah.
When people talk or when they're going through something,
I understand or I put myself in your shoes instead of just
being like, oh, like, what people don't understand
is you have to be patient with humans.
Like, I don't know what you're going through.
I don't know what you guys are going through.
At the end of the day, like, you could have woke up flat tire
and I don't know that you're having a bad day.
Yeah.
And then people, I could be, I just lost my job or something.
And people don't understand that.
People would just have road rage or have bad days and take it.
I don't want people when you should just be patient.
Like, yeah.
So just have a sense, you have 11 legs, you know, you don't have
patience for that.
No, no, no, no, no, go to QT right now.
We're Googling that.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Pull over.
What a fat parent.
Yeah.
Just supposed to be dropping off your daughter's shoe.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I got to read it.
She's got her dad stands on business right now.
Even she would probably, have in legs.
Let's play that, look it up.
That's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it.
Don't say face, face, face, face.
It's just crazy.
I thought that was the trust tree apparently.
Rockshow, fuck me, my right.
All right, so one more time, where is your food truck
and how does everyone follow you, my brother?
Of course, guys, so I'm on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
It's, oh my God.
Tissue, tissue, tissue.
That was the over-under.
Tissue, tissue, tissue.
What's going on?
So it's going to be Lalo 12 on Facebook.
I think it's my government name and say,
the water, the water, the water, oh my God.
And then, but my food trucks on 51st Avenue and olive,
Wednesday through Sunday, 11 to 6 PM on Sundays,
so we close that five.
People be pulling up, like, dude, what the hell,

Don't go there before 11, okay, I'll be there.
And don't go there at 5 AM either, okay?
People ask you for money.
Okay, I'm saying, we don't understand that.
I mean, it's people with Tim.
It's not people with Tim.
Yeah, it's rough out here, dog.
You thought, guys, we did, we were talking about it.
We were talking about it.
I started telling people, my hey,

Let me talk to all of you.
Are you that person on ring where you're just so invested?
You're the one, like, I get stuff, like,

You sent me a ring app.

Hi, I lost a parrot.
You think I'm gonna go up to a fucking bird in my head?
Come on.
Perch.
Come on in, you son of a, your owner's looking for you.

Don't post that.
Go look for it.
Okay, that's my advice of the day.
Look for your animal.
Well, look for your own.
Look for your own.
You do it.

You're in the ghetto.
