Carlos’s background (one of 18 kids! 18!!) is a recipe for disaster but he’s remarkably sane and has real insight on how crazy that was. He also explains the hierarchy within Hispanic culture (Spaniards at the top, Central Americans at the bottom).
love him or hate him… you gotta hate em
The guy’s is an absolute pariah in the comedy world. Can’t deny he worked his ass off to get where he is, but he blatantly stole just about everything he ever did and then tried to deny it. If you ever want to see something uncomfortable, check out the video of Joe Rogan confronting Mencia on stage and tearing him apart about stealing his material. Basically destroyed the guy’s credibility in one night.
Good show Carlos got along with Adam and Drew well.
I LOVED this one….I really like and understand Carlos a lot better after listenin’ to this show. No wonder he’s always espousing Mexican stereotypes as part of his comedy- because he came from the extreme version of that. There was some funny race-talk and some great stories. Adam was on point – Mencia was funny too – and seemed pretty damn intelligent and sane. Funny part where he’s explaining how it is to get hit up by his family for $ now that he’s a rich celebrity. Really different show that I found fascinating! I’m givin’ it 4 Stars!
Hilarious part around 35:35 with Carlos doing the background oompa-oompa noise behind Adam talking.
