  • Introduction to Video Content
  • In this episode of This Is Not Happening, comedian Al Madrigal shares a hilarious and unexpected experience from one of his gigs in East San Jose, California. Known for being a tough crowd, Madrigal finds himself in a packed GI hall filled with 2,000 Mexicans. Despite his wife's concern, he decides to take the stage and face the challenge. Prior to Madrigal, another comedian had already performed his entire act in Spanish, leaving the audience in stitches. The crowd reaction was explosive, with people raising their corn on the stick and crema flying everywhere. Madrigal realizes that Mexican corn is like the concert lighter for a Latino Def Jam show. Feeling the pressure, he asks himself, 'What would Carlos Mencia do in this situation?' He decides to do a little cheerleading and starts engaging with the audience, asking them to make noise. However, when he asks where the white and black people are, there is no response. Madrigal jokes about the lack of diversity in the audience and then acknowledges that it's predominantly Latinos. The entire crowd raises their corn in unison, creating a comical and surreal sight. Stay tuned to find out how Madrigal handles the rest of the gig and whether he can win over the challenging audience.
  • Subtitles section
  • I'm Al Madrigal.
  • In 2002, I get this gig in East San Jose, California, and you don't have to be familiar with the San Francisco Bay Area to know that anything East, most cities, usually pretty shitty.
  • So, I go to the gig, and it's 2,000 Mexicans in a GI hall, just packed.
  • It's like a big cafeteria, and my wife looks at me, and she goes, dude, you gotta get the fuck outta here.
  • Okay, because she's supportive like that.
  • And I say, no, honey, have a little faith in me.
  • I can handle myself.
  • Now, the reason my wife is concerned is that the guy before me is doing his entire act in Spanish and destroying.
  • Every single time he hits a big punchline, little Mexican guys with gold-plated teeth, they all have corn on the stick, so they're fucking putting their corns in the air.
  • Crema is flying everywhere.
  • It's like cloudy with a chance of carnitas.
  • And I didn't know that the Mexican corn was like the concert lighter for a Latino Def Jam show.
  • So, now I gotta go up there.
  • And I ask myself, okay, I can do this.
  • What would Carlos Mencia do in this situation?
  • That's one of the rare times you wanna ask yourself that question.
  • I go, I know, I'm gonna go up there, and I do a little cheerleading.
  • So, I go up on stage, and I go, what's up?
  • It's San Jose.
  • Make some noise!
  • And they all made some noise, all right?
  • So, I'm doing good.
  • So, I say, where all the white people at?
  • White people, make some noise.
  • White people!
  • Nothing.
  • Half of me's the only white guy there.
  • So, I say, where all the black people at?
  • Black people, make some noise.
  • Black people!
  • Nothing.
  • Where the hell were you guys?
  • Could've fucking used ya.
  • And then I say, so it's all Latinos!
  • 2,000 corns just up in the air at the exact same time.
  • And I'll never forget, right where you are in the front, this little guy goes, east side Latinos!
  • And I said, east side Latinos?
  • Even bigger roar.
  • Like, think of a bacon-wrapped hot dog when flying.
  • Then, I proceeded to do my act, just by saying fuckers and bros nonstop.
  • Just fuckers and bros, fuckers and bros, and then humping for no reason whatsoever.
  • Didn't make any fucking sense.
  • If you're sitting near a Latino, look how much they love this right now.
  • They can't get enough.
  • What's up, fuckers?
  • I just had a new baby, fuckers.
  • Fuckers, bro, bro, fuckers, fuckers.
  • Then, I go to the next gig.
  • It's a two-parter.
  • Next day, it's in Stockton, California.
  • This meth shithole in the middle of nowhere.
  • Industry has died.
  • It was like ground zero for the housing crisis, right?
  • Foreclosure signs everywhere.
  • People are angry all the time.
  • I think there's just pods with embryonic MMA fighters.
  • So, I walk into the show, and I walk backstage.
  • Now, the guy who's doing so well the night before, you remember him?
  • He's now crying.
  • He's got a tear running down his cheek.
  • And I go, Ruben, what's wrong?
  • How was your set?
  • He goes, Al, they threatened my life.
  • Now, I gotta go up there, and I already determined I'm not gonna be this Latino Def Jam character that I'm not.
  • My parents sent me to French school in San Francisco.
  • I went to École Notre-Dame de Victoire.
  • I used to wear a sailor suit to school every single day.
  • I rode the cable car with a dickie blowing in the wind.
  • Now, I'm gonna be this Latino Def Jam character?
  • That's bullshit.
  • I'm gonna be myself.
  • And that was a horrible idea.
  • Never be yourself.
  • Change it up, fuck it.
  • What do you gotta lose?
  • So, I go up on stage, and I start to do this bit about how my Spanish is horrible, and how you spot a half-Mexican over use of the word poquito.
  • Habla español, un poquito.
  • Salsa picante, un poquito.
  • Maracón, un poquito.
  • And this guy stands up right in the middle, right in the middle of the entire audience, and stands up and has this Braveheart moment.
  • And he goes, he does it!
  • Speak Spanish!
  • And then starts violently flipping me off.
  • Not just like, hey, fuck you, but holding it, shaking.
  • So, He starts leading people in boos against me.
  • He's going, he doesn't speak Spanish.
  • Woo, woo, he doesn't speak Spanish.
  • Woo, woo.
  • 20 people are booing, 80 people are booing.
  • And finally, I broke down, which I tend to do.
  • I said, look, you guys, this is exactly a dream gig for me, either.
  • I'm stuck in Stockton of all godforsaken places.
  • And the best part about it is I get to leave, and you people are stuck here for the rest of your miserable fucking lives.
  • Now, I'm taking the money, and I'm being paid handsomely.
  • I'm gonna go blow it in Tracy Outlet Mall, so fuck off.
  • And the guy stood back up and goes, he's got money!
  • Then I ended up jumping a fence like a salmon, while the black security guards laughed at me.
  • That's how that fucking turned out.
  • All right, thank you very much, everybody.
